Yuanyang City, Long Qianfang, Prince Yong's Mansion, and Yong'an Hall.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun, dressed in a purple dragon robe and wearing a black gauze winged crown, was sitting on the throne at the top of the hall.
On the left and right are two great eunuchs, Huo An and Lin Quan, and His Majesty Dan, Lin Dagui and Zhang Meng, all in armor, stand by them.
In the main hall, the royal officials stood in civil and military positions, waiting for Zhao Yanxun, who had just been enthroned, to give a lecture.
"My lords, just yesterday, Yuan County was recovered!"
This is indeed great news. Most of the officials in the palace only knew it now, so they all looked happy.
The more cities that are recovered, the further away the zombies will be, and the safer Yuanyang City will be.
Even at this moment, Zhao Yanxun smiled, and then said: "Three of the six counties in Yuanyang Prefecture have been recovered. It is really gratifying and congratulatory!"
"With this achievement, all the ministers plan food and fodder to supply military supplies, and they also rely on the soldiers at the front to risk their lives and fight without avoiding danger!"
Everyone present had no objection to the previous words, but no one dared to agree with Zhao Yanxun’s last words.
So the moment he finished speaking, Guan Hetai took a step forward, bowed and said: "I have the courage to say something, what Your Highness said is wrong!"
Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was silent, Guan Hetai continued: "Without Your Highness's strategizing, I would be nothing more than a pile of sand. How could we have achieved today's great victory!"
f
"His Highness followed the orders of Heaven and came to this world to save thousands of people in the world. How could I be so virtuous as to dare to take credit for His Highness's achievements!"
This speech highly demonstrated Guan Hetai's quick wit.
It is not surprising that such a person with strong business ability and good shooting skills should be at the center of the palace.
Of course, you have to be thick-skinned to do this.
For example, Zhou Chengping, who was standing aside, felt that Zhao Yanxun had the greatest contribution, but he would never say such explicit words.
The only one who can compare with Guan Hetai is the right commander Shi Chengwenguang. At this moment, this guy is annoyed that he was slower than Guan Hetai.
But Cheng Wenguang's flattery may be late, but it will never be absent.
"What Ambassador Guan Zuo said is true. Your Highness respects heaven and loves the people, and spares no effort to save the people, eliminate monsters, and restore peace to the world. Such great virtue and bravery are beyond my ability to bear!"
After saying this, Cheng Wenguang knelt down and said: "I have the courage to speak out, please don't give me more credit than I do!"
Following Cheng Wenguang's proposal, the officials of the Longyou Clan knelt down one after another and said "advocate" one by one.
And this phenomenon started to expand. The remaining officials also agreed, and a large number of people knelt down in the hall.
Good guy, I obviously wanted to hold a commendation meeting, but it was suddenly turned into a flattery meeting.
Of course, the scene before him still made Zhao Yanxun very happy.
But his happiness is not based on these flatteries, but on proving that he has absolute control over his subjects.
Regardless of civil or military officials, regardless of their rank, they all surrendered absolutely to Zhao Yanxun and placed him in the most respected position.
Of course, business still needs to be done.
Looking at the officials kneeling below, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but said: "I understand your thoughts, please get up!"
Acting is acting, now that Zhao Yanxun was shouting, everyone present naturally stood up in a sensible manner.
Of course, they had to say "Thank you, Your Highness" at the end.
"As the ministers said, I have merit, but so do the ministers!"
"I have always made clear rewards and punishments. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you have merit, you will be rewarded!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun looked at Huo An aside, and then said: "Huo An, declare the edict!"
Immediately afterwards, Huo An took an imperial edict written on yellow paper from the hands of a young eunuch on one side.
He spread it out and read loudly: "The king's edict..."
All the ministers bowed, and then Huo An read loudly.
The content of the edict is very clear, which is to reward those who have meritorious service. The main prize is food and cloth.
These things are completely hard currency and are definitely very precious things nowadays.
As for those who were rewarded, in addition to the soldiers fighting on the front lines, the officials responsible for the logistics at the rear were also not forgotten by Zhao Yanxun.
The difference is simply a matter of how much reward is given.
After Huo An finished reading and all the officials kowtowed and thanked him, Zhao Yanxun lectured: "My lords, please do not be complacent. Yuan Yangyang can only be restored to half, and there are still six mansions on the right side of Long..."
"The opportunity to make great achievements and leave a name in history is still waiting for you!"
After Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, Chen Anming stepped forward and said: "I am willing to follow your highness and restore the Jin Dynasty!"
Just now Zhao Yanxun only talked about Longyou, but now Chen Anming said that he wanted to restore the Jin Dynasty, which was tantamount to pushing Zhao Yanxun to the throne of emperor.
He was really silent, and when he opened his mouth, he made a big show of it, which shocked everyone present.
But then, every official agreed.
"I am willing to follow His Highness and restore the Jin Dynasty!"
For a time, the entire hall was filled with voices of support.
"The princes are very ambitious, and I am very pleased, but if we want to regain the Jin Dynasty, we can't just rely on words!"
"The palace needs to recruit more soldiers to destroy the monsters!"
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at the two chief officials of the Privy Council and said slowly: "The Privy Council must be prepared. After the latest batch of soldiers bravely join the army, they must start recruiting the next batch!"
"I accept your order!"
After nodding, Zhao Yanxun continued: "The latest batch of four hundred soldiers, I will add them to Xu Hong's command and let him command an army with a thousand households!"
"After careful consideration by the King, the candidates for the two Qianhu vacancies have been decided..."
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Lin Quan and said, "Invite them two into the palace!"
Lin Quan took a step forward and said loudly: "Xuan Gao Zheng'an, Cui Xing'an comes to the palace to see you!"
After Lin Quan finished speaking, the little eunuch standing at the door of the hall started shouting again.
Outside the main hall, under the platform, Gao and Cui stood with their heads bowed. They stepped forward nervously and slowly walked up the steps.
Gao Zheng'an was originally the commander-in-chief of the bodyguards, and Cui Xing'an was the commander of the military and horse department. They were the two deputy qianhu selected by Zhao Yanxun.
They were selected because of their outstanding performance and were selected by Zhao Yanxun.
With uneasy hearts, Gao and Cui entered the palace. Under the watchful eyes of the palace's civil and military officials, they knelt in the palace and kowtowed to Zhao Yanxun.
"My minister Gao Zheng'an (Cui Xing'an), please pay homage to the prince!"
Zhao Yanxun stood up from his position, then pointed at the two people on the ground and said: "These two people have outstanding merits and meticulous work. I have promoted these two people to deputy Qianhu. Do you have any objections?"
There was silence in the hall, and the civil servants were okay, as they shouldn't have said anything about this matter.
Among the military officers, some were indeed dissatisfied and felt that these two were not the strongest in terms of merit.
Anyone would think that his subordinates have many merits and abilities, and would want to push their subordinates forward.
At this moment, Chen Anming was heard saying: "His Royal Highness Fu Wei, the Holy Inquisitor!"
