Opposition from Cao Cao and others.
It only made Ying Yuan want to accomplish that thing even more.
Then.
He came to the court hall.
Seeing those battle-hardened soldiers still kneeling, Ying Yuan found it funny.
"Since you want to kneel, why not just kneel on the ground, on the futon? Don't you think it's not comfortable enough?"
Hearing this.
Everyone was shocked.
Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this cushion was sent by the Empress. Your servants...your servants will remove it now."
As he spoke, he threw the cushion under his knees aside.
Even he is kneeling here.
It is conceivable how worried the other generals were about Ying Yuan's thundering wrath.
And what Ying Yuan said just now made everyone deeply understand what it meant to be terrified.
Your Majesty, you are angry after all!
"Today, I am not here to punish you, but to reward you."
"Last night, I heard that you wanted that title and that reward. Today, I will grant you everything."
Ying Yuan ignored Zhu Di, but looked at the ministers and spoke slowly.
However, after he spoke like this, all the soldiers were startled and began to discuss with each other:
"Your Majesty...you're still angry!"
"Yes, I dare say that if anyone accepts the reward, it won't be long before all nine clans are wiped out."
“…”
The voices of the crowd mixed together, making it quite noisy, and Ying Yuan couldn't hear clearly.
He continued, "I have already thought of the list of rewards."
"Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, has made great contributions in defending the northern lands. He was granted the title of Prince, a hereditary title, and a gift of ten thousand taels of gold."
"Dong Zhuo, the Prince of Liang, has served me well in this campaign... and I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold."
“…”
"Wu'an Jun Baiqi, for his meritorious service in protecting Yunzhou, is granted the title of King Wu'an and a reward of ten thousand taels of gold."
"Cao Ren..."
"Yue Fei..."
“…”
"Although Zheng Chenggong didn't come, he did send his capable general Gan Hui into the inland to assist our army in fighting the foreign enemies. He is also a meritorious official."
"Then he was enfeoffed as Marquis Yi."
"The rest of the generals will be promoted three ranks and given a thousand gold coins. If you want any fiefdom, just tell me and I will grant it to you."
Speaking of this, there was always a smile on Ying Yuan's lips.
He thought to himself.
Such a generous reward will surely make these arrogant soldiers and generals in front of us rejoice, right?
The more excited you are, the happier I am.
It would be best if you divided up all my territory and caused chaos in the world!
This is his ultimate goal - to defeat the country and become an immortal.
No matter how many hardships and difficulties you have experienced, you will never change your determination!
However.
Although his rewards were very generous, they could be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.
However, no one was happy.
On the contrary, they were all scared out of their wits by Ying Yuan's words.
He began to murmur softly:
"Such a generous reward is rare in the past, present and future, and may have never happened before! If we really accepted these rewards, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to leave the hall alive!"
"Yes, look at this reward, how terrifying! Four kings of different surnames have all been made princes, and the title is hereditary. Can you believe it?"
"Honestly, this victory is entirely thanks to His Majesty personally leading the army. Our achievements are actually not worthy of the reward His Majesty has given us!"
"Yes, if we really accept the reward, we will surely die!"
“…”
Throughout history, they were probably the only ones who were frightened by the overly grand rewards given by the emperor.
At this time, Liang Wang Dong Zhuo was already frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, I spoke carelessly last night after drinking. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I already know I was wrong. I am of little virtue and talent, how can I be worthy of the position of prince? I hope Your Majesty will revoke your order!"
Then.
The other kings of different surnames spoke one after another:
"Your Majesty, please revoke your order!"
"We have all acknowledged our mistakes, and we hope Your Majesty will revoke your order. We are willing to atone for our sins with our merits, and do not ask for any reward. We only ask Your Majesty not to be angry!"
“…”
These big guys all begged for mercy.
The others naturally hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will revoke your order. I am willing to demote myself and accept the punishment!"
"Your Majesty, please consider my loyalty to the Great Qin and revoke your order!"
“…”
On the battlefield, they all made the enemy soldiers tremble with fear.
But now, in front of Ying Yuan, they all looked like children who had made mistakes.
This made Ying Yuan very confused.
What does it mean?
I have given you all my wealth.
You don't want it?
Is it cheap?
No matter what! I must carry out this foolish and ruinous plan!
Ying Yuan said bluntly, "You wanted it, and I gave it to you. Now, you don't want it anymore. Do you think my words are bullshit?!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire hall was suddenly filled with a depressing atmosphere.
Everyone was panicked.
The emperor was angry!
You know, when the emperor is angry, millions of people will die!
"Your Majesty, we have absolutely no such intention!"
"I hope Your Majesty will calm down!"
“…”
Everyone spoke one after another.
Ying Yuan was furious and said in a deep voice: "The reward has been given to you. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, you have to take it!"
