Directly confer the title of Marquis?
When Song Youwei heard this, she was stunned.
You must know that in the court now, the highest rank is Marquis.
Represented by Marquis Shenwu, they are the real famous families in Wei today.
Whether it is status or power.
Those are all pretty big.
Going up further, you will reach the Duke.
But the ancestors who were given such titles all had the merit of founding the country.
However, Emperor Taizu Gao was also worried that the ministers would become too powerful.
In the end, only one or two dukes were conferred, and the descendants of those dukes were not allowed to inherit the title of duke.
Moreover, an ancestral rule was established, that is, in the future, no one who did not contribute to the protection of the country could be granted the title of duke.
Therefore, although there were people with outstanding achievements during the reign of previous emperors.
But at most, he was only granted the title of Marquis.
Even the Marquis of Shenwu, who currently holds the highest rank in the imperial court, has not yet reached the rank of Duke.
But now, His Majesty actually wants to directly confer the title of Marquis on his own brother.
This is no longer just grace.
Although Song Youwei knew it very well.
In this battle, my younger brother directly destroyed the Gaoyang Kingdom and achieved the merit of destroying the country.
It can be regarded as one of the most significant achievements since the founding of the Wei Dynasty.
However, the other party is still very young, only seventeen years old, and it is a bit strange to directly confer him the title of Marquis...
Thinking of this, Song Youwei immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. Hongzhi is still very young and will have plenty of time to serve the court in the future. If you directly confer him a marquisate now, it will be disgraceful to Hongzhi. There will definitely be a lot of discussion in the court."
The achievement of destroying a country was indeed great, but what she took into consideration was that her younger brother was still very young.
Moreover, it was his first time leading troops into battle, so being an earl was already the best he could do.
If he was directly conferred the title of Duke.
There are definitely many people who will not like it.
Especially those military generals who have served in the army for decades.
After all, the highest title now is only the Marquis of Shenwu.
Once his younger brother is conferred the title of Marquis, he will definitely become the object of public disappointment.
After all, this time, it rose too fast.
On the opposite side, Wei Yunyi was stunned when he saw the queen's reaction.
He wanted to chat and joke with the other party, because he knew very well that his brother-in-law had indeed made great achievements, but his qualifications were not enough. He had only been in the army for less than two months at most.
Directly conferring the title of Marquis is indeed a bit excessive, and the ministers will definitely not agree.
But now, because of the queen's words, a different idea emerged in his mind.
Why can't we just make our brother-in-law a marquis?
In this way, not only the problem of rewards can be solved.
More importantly.
His actions would definitely cause dissatisfaction among court officials and even military generals.
At the same time, it might even make my brother-in-law feel spoiled.
In this way, your luck will be affected accordingly.
But Wei Yunyi knew it very well.
I must consider this aspect carefully. I must arouse the dissatisfaction of the generals, but I must not let these people develop a rebellious mentality.
Being a tyrant doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Especially for me, why was it that during this period, whether it was the Grand Canal or the political reform, I was able to have the final say?
It was because he had the millions of loyal Wei troops under his command and held military power, even though the important officials of the court had objections.
But he did not dare to directly offend the emperor. In short, as the emperor, he had power in his hands.
Having military power in his hands is one of Wei Yunyi's greatest reliances now.
If he wants to be a tyrant, he must have power.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to continue in this position.
Therefore, we must strike a good balance in this matter.
So, after a little thought, Wei Yunyi paused, then smiled and said: "In our Great Wei, meritorious service must be rewarded, and guilt must be punished. My brother-in-law has made such a great contribution, and he must be rewarded well. And the soldiers of Liaozhen have done a very good job this time, and they have all made great contributions."
"But don't worry, Queen. I will naturally consider what you said. You are pregnant now, so don't worry too much."
He already had a rough idea of how to reward his brother-in-law and the Liaozhen soldiers.
As for what to do specifically, we still need to consider it carefully.
And the reason why Wei Yunyi said this.
Mainly to comfort the queen.
I don't want to make the other person worry too much.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Youwei didn't say anything more after hearing this.
But what he really thought was that he hoped His Majesty would not reward his younger brother too much.
As an elder sister, she knew the other party too well. The other party was already extremely arrogant. Now, in his first war, he destroyed a country. Now he must be arrogant.
If she rewards him with a marquisate, he will become arrogant, and this is not what she wants to see.
After that, Wei Yunyi chatted with the queen for a while.
So he left Kunshou Palace.
However, he did not go to Concubine Ying's bedroom.
Anyway, nothing major has happened recently. The construction of the Grand Canal and the straight road are proceeding in an orderly manner and there will be no problems.
And now, what Wei Yunyi cares most about is improving his strength.
But the Dahuan Pill is still being refined.
Therefore, he went straight back to his bedroom and began to practice the Emperor's Dragon Transformation Sutra.
This martial art can make one a martial arts saint, and it is so powerful. I need to put more effort into it.
After all, as long as he waits until he has reached a certain level of cultivation, and with the help of this martial art, he may be able to resist the immortals walking out of the Heavenly Gate.
As for Song Youwei, after watching Wei Yunyi leave, she began to think in her heart.
