Cheng** said kindly, "You've worked hard, Mr. Zhao. Stand up and talk."

After Zhao Chenhan stood up, Cheng ** asked, "How was the rebellion suppression?"

Zhao Chenhan said proudly, "I have lived up to the Holy Order and have wiped out twelve rebel groups, large and small, killing or capturing nearly 300,000 rebels. All the rebel leaders are now in the Zuo Yulin Guard camp awaiting their fate."

Zhao Chenhan quickly listed his contributions.

Deputy Prime Minister Shao Yutang said with a smile: "A tiger father will have a dog son. Prince Zhao led the army for the first time, and he has achieved such a great result. It is commendable."

"Yes, yes. At only sixteen, he was able to lead an army and wipe out the rebels on his own. It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

"Given time, Prince Zhao will surely be the pillar of our dynasty."

Many people from Prince Yu’s party spoke out.

Zhao Chenhan said modestly: "It's all thanks to your Majesty's good teaching."

The lively atmosphere quieted down a little.

All the ministers had strange expressions on their faces.

Everyone knows that you were captured in the first battle.

We are praising you to give your father face, so just accept it honestly. Why are you talking so much nonsense?

How dare you imitate Zhao Lin and flatter His Majesty? Did His Majesty teach you to underestimate the enemy and get captured?

Sure enough, Cheng** looked very unhappy.

Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.

Look at what Zhao Lin said and did. Are you worthy enough to learn from him?

Forget it, it’s your father’s fault for commanding my 200,000 troops.

Cheng** nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhao Aiqing."

Zhao Chenhan looked up at Cheng**, ready to thank him after Cheng** finished talking about the reward.

But after Cheng** said thank you for your hard work, he shut up and stopped talking.

Zhao Chenhan was dumbfounded?

Gone? Just like that?

At least he should be given an official position or a general.

Then Zhao Lin became the fourth-rank General Xuanwu.
