"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

A eunuch walked up the jade steps and shouted loudly, then stepped aside and bowed his head.【】

In the main hall, it suddenly became quiet. All the officials faced the jade steps of the dragon bed. Yang Daosi and others also stood up and stood with their hands down.

A bell rang, and dozens of eunuchs entered in a row, followed by hundreds of imperial guards with swords filed in. These guards carried golden ceremonial knives on their waists and held spears and golden swords in their hands. They lined up on both sides of the jade-stepped dragon couch. Finally,

Eighteen palace ladies, holding palace fans and luogai, surrounded the Emperor Zhao Zhi of the Jin Dynasty as he entered the palace.

Today is the official court meeting. Zhao Zhi is dressed very grandly. He is dressed in a beautiful dragon fur coat, wearing an emperor's crown on his head, with nine strands of white beads hanging in front of him. Duke Mu is holding the imperial edict in his hand and following behind him.

Zhao Zhi sat down, and Duke Mu immediately shouted loudly: "The court meeting has begun!"

All the ministers immediately bowed and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

Zhao Zhi looked around at the ministers and waved his hand: "Everyone loves you!"

Duke Mu shouted loudly again: "Your Majesty has decreed that all officials should return to their respective positions!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers stood up straight and organized their ranks, and Yang Daosi and others also sat down again.

Taking advantage of this free time, Zhao Zhi looked at Duan Wang Zhao Ji and asked softly: "Uncle Jiu, how are your health these days?"

Zhao Ji did not get up, but just sat there, bent slightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am in good health recently."

Zhao Zhi nodded. He was very respectful and grateful to Duan Wang Zhao Ji. If Zhao Ji hadn't helped him a lot back then, the throne of the Jin Dynasty would never have been inherited by the eighth-ranked Zhao Zhi. Therefore, since he ascended the throne, Zhao Zhi

It can be said that King Duan was treated with the utmost honor and favor, and he received constant rewards.

"Your Majesty, it's begun!"

At this time, Mu Gong reminded in a low voice.

Zhao Zhi looked down, calmed down, and raised his voice and said: "I think you all know what happened today. Huang Sheng led the army to put down the rebellion of Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang, and Yang Liecheng, stabilize the overall situation in Jiangnan, and strengthen my reputation.

, the contribution lies in Sheji, and must not be unrewarded."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Because of his contribution to Jiangnan, Qin Anming, who had been promoted to the post of Chief Political Officer, immediately stepped out and flattered Zhao Zhi. Of course, he was not the only such official.

Regarding the compliments of these people, Zhao Zhi showed no expression on his face. He looked at Yang Daosi, Liu Jie and others, and saw that the ministers in the political hall had no other objections. After Qin Anming and others had finished flattering, he immediately

Then he said: "The right army of the Forbidden Army went to the south of the Yangtze River and went through all kinds of hardships and achieved brilliant results. This was due to the bravery of the soldiers of the three armies in killing the enemy. Today I will specially reward them and announce their entry into the palace."

"The officers and soldiers of the Right Army of the Forbidden Army are declared to enter the palace."

"The officers and soldiers of the Right Army of the Forbidden Army are declared to enter the palace."

............

The shouts passed down, and the door of a side hall on the left side of Dezheng Hall was opened. Huang Zhen and others walked out and walked towards the main entrance of Dezheng Hall.

There were twenty-one people in total, with Huang Zhu at the front, Zhan Tai Jingming, Zhao Feidu, Shan Qiu and others behind.

Seeing Huang Zhen and others slowly approaching, Zhao Zhi had a smile on his face. His mood at the moment was undoubtedly extremely happy and exciting.

The battle in Jiangnan eliminated Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang, and Yang Liecheng, who had been a serious nuisance for a long time, and dealt a heavy blow to Huang Baichuan, a wolf with different ambitions. Jiangnan was completely stable, and there were no more hidden dangers. From the time he ascended the throne to now, it has been two full years.

In ten years, we have never achieved such a great victory.

The battle in the south of the Yangtze River showed that the current imperial court has a very strong fighting force. He, Zhao Zhi, is not a weak person who can be bullied. All the major governors in the world wrote letters to express their positions in a very respectful and humble tone. , Zhao Zhi has been the emperor for so many years, and for the first time he feels like he is looking down on the world.

"I am here to join you, His Majesty, and wish His Majesty long live, long live, long live!"

Zhao Zhi was in a good mood. He waved his hand, with a rare smile on his face, and said gently: "All officers and soldiers will be exempted from the courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huang Zhen and others stood up.

Zhao Zhi squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Let's get started!"

Duke Mu bowed slightly, then opened the imperial edict and read it loudly.

"The officers and soldiers of the Right Army of the Forbidden Army fought bravely to kill the enemy and served the country. They should be rewarded based on their merits and their deeds should be shown to the world. In the fifth year of Taiping, in August..."

Mu Gong's voice was passionate and he read out for nearly half an hour. He finally read the imperial edict to the end, which was also the most critical and important section and the one that Huang Zhi and others were most concerned about.

"The great general of Anguo, Huang Jie, commanded well and defeated Yingzhou Jiedushi Zheng Ze. The defense of Xiangzhou was Liu Xiang..., he defeated Yang Liecheng and completely stabilized the situation in Jiangnan. He deserves the first credit, especially He will be ennobled to Duke An Guo for the rest of his life and will receive a reward of one thousand taels."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I will repay you with my death."

Huang Zhen knelt down excitedly and kowtowed in salute.

In the Jin Dynasty, when civil and military officials met the emperor, they did not need to kowtow, they only needed to bow and bow. At this moment, Huang Jie was so excited that he knelt down.

Huang Zhen couldn't help but be excited. His grandfather and father were much more senior officials than he was, and their achievements and prestige were much higher. In the end, they only got the title of Duke. However, he became famous in one battle and was directly transferred from Jianguo County. Duke, the Jin Dynasty granted him the title of Duke, and it lasted for a lifetime. After his death, his son could inherit the title. This was a great kindness. Huang Jie now felt that even if he died immediately, he would still have the honor to meet his ancestors when he went to Jiuquan. Zong.

In the Jin Dynasty, the salary of officials may not be very high, but the salary of the title is extremely generous. A prince who does nothing in a few decades can accumulate an amazing wealth, so in In the Great Jin Dynasty, any title is not hereditary, but is granted by the emperor for one or even nine generations. Therefore, in the Great Jin Dynasty, it is difficult to obtain noble titles. There are not many ministers with noble titles. This is why , Zhao Zhi wanted to confer a title on Li Mancang several times, but was strongly opposed by many ministers.

"My dear, please get up."

Zhao Zhi nodded, very satisfied with Huang Zhu's attitude. After Huang Zhu stood up, he said with a smile: "I hope you will not forget my kindness and make new achievements."

Huang Zhen cupped his fists and bowed, and said emotionally: "Your Majesty's great kindness will never be forgotten. I will do my best and die."

Zhao Zhi smiled and stopped talking.

Duke Mu continued to read out the edict.

The official positions of Shan Qiu and others have all been promoted. Among them, Mao Anfu fought bravely and charged forward in every battle. He was not afraid of life and death. He was awarded the title of Founding County Prince and was rewarded with three thousand taels of silver.

Among the five generals, Zhao Feidu, Mao Anfu, Shanqiu, Gu Yong, and Zhan Taijingming, the one with the most generous rewards was actually Zhan Taijingming, who was granted the title of male from Kaiguo County. His title was one level lower than that of Mao Anfu, but his official position was After being promoted to Fengzhou Jiedushi and Huaihua General, no one expected that Zhan Taijingming, who was not outstanding, would directly become a feudal official in charge of one side.

Mao Anfu glanced at Zhan Tai Jingming with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but the emperor's reward for him was not low, and he was not qualified to speak now.
