"General Ye, please get up."
"Speaking of this matter, I was negligent."
"Since the status of uncle of the emperor has been given, the father-in-law of the emperor naturally cannot be left behind."
"Now it seems that today is indeed a good day."
"Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to reward you accordingly."
"Ye Pengcheng stepped forward to listen to the seal."
"I am here."
Ye Pengcheng knelt in the center of the hall, and Shangguan Lingyun spoke in a cold voice.
"Ye Pengcheng led Ye Rong in repelling Prince Yu's rebel army and was rewarded with the title of Duke of the State, and Ye Rong was awarded the title of General Protecting the Nation."
"In addition, the Ye family will be awarded a golden medal of immunity from death and ten thousand taels of gold as a reward."

"Also, Ye Pengcheng's wife, Qin Ruyan, was granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort, enjoying the privilege of being able to enter and leave the harem at any time."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he paused with his gaze on everyone, then continued.

Tutor Liu didn't expect Shangguan Lingyun to ask him to resign directly, and a flash of disappointment passed through his eyes.
But when he saw the warning in Shangguan Lingyun's eyes, he immediately suppressed all his thoughts and knelt down to express his gratitude.
"This old minister thanks Your Majesty for your grace."
"Grandfather, please stand up. Although you are no longer an official, you are still my grandfather. You will receive the salary you deserve, and I will not reduce it by a single cent."
This was Shangguan Lingyun's biggest concession. Tutor Liu was annoyed, but he had to accept this fact.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent, and everyone was afraid that they would accidentally follow in the footsteps of Master Liu.
At the same time, everyone was wondering how Master Liu had offended Shangguan Lingyun.
