Seeing that the quarrel had almost died down, Emperor Jianxi coughed twice.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Emperor Jianxi said, "Dali Chengqian has made meritorious service this time. He conquered the six kingdoms in the southwestern border, expanded the territory, and achieved unparalleled achievements. He eliminated the scourge of foreign races in Dali, restored justice and reassured the people. I hereby order..." Emperor Jianxi paused, and all the officials knew what he was hesitating about. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to reward him for his merits. As for the massacre in the city, it was quite controversial, so they simply did not talk about it.
All the officials thought this decision was reasonable, including those who opposed it.
They hadn't originally thought that Emperor Jianxi would punish Zhao Ying, as she was the emperor's most beloved...
This report was made in order to suppress Princess Chengqian's arrogance, but as it stands, not only has it failed to suppress her, but her arrogance has become even more arrogant.
It made Master Yang so angry that he fainted...
They certainly wouldn't think that they lost to Zhao Ying's verbal battle, as that would be too damaging to their dignity as men. They lost to Shangguan Shu!
It’s him, it’s him, it’s all him!
He is the most treacherous minister in the Great Chu!
The reason why Emperor Jianxi stopped rewarding Zhao Ying was that there was no more reward to give.
As for the title, Zhao Ying has long been at the top, with fiefdoms, annual salaries... These are also subject to etiquette and cannot be exceeded. But after all, she is the emperor's beloved daughter, so it is understandable and permissible for her to go beyond the norm. For example, the regulations are the same as those for the crown prince... They are brother and sister, so they must be treated equally!
Give him more... The civil and military officials couldn't help but think silently in their hearts that if he gave him more, he would have to give him the throne.
That is absolutely not possible!
After a while, Emperor Jianxi also thought of it, so he decided to add two more words to Zhao Ying's title!
Once it was proposed, all civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.
Only Zhao Ying twitched her lips.
It’s not for any other reason, but... her title has been long enough.
There are actually eighteen more characters before Cheng Qian.
Princess Chengqian is just an abbreviation...
Two more?
The Minister of Rites was the most proactive. He said two words immediately, with a smug look on his face. Hehe, he had known that the Emperor would add another word for Princess Chengqian, and he had already thought of it!
