But at this moment.
Outside the Chengtian Hall, the Minister of War, Wang Lun, led a group of people into the hall. Without any hesitation, they knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
Behind him, although Song Hongzhi and others were wearing armor, the occasion was very serious, so they also knelt on the ground.
The court officials on both sides also lowered their heads, their sharp eyes drifting towards the young uncle of the current emperor who was regarded as a dandy boy by countless people.
No one had expected that the other side could destroy a country in one battle. Such achievements and such military talents were really too strong.
I'm afraid that even if Marquis Shenwu leads the army personally, it would be difficult to do better, right?
Of course, this does not mean that the old marquis is inferior to Song Hongzhi in the eyes of the ministers.
It's just a simple feeling that the little uncle can destroy the country in one battle.
Looking at all the dynasties, they were considered very powerful.
And at this time.
Sitting at the top of Chengtian Hall, Wei Yunyi, dressed in a dragon robe, said with a smile, "Get up."
Below, Minister of War Lin Yuansong stood up and walked into the ranks of officials without hesitation.
Song Hongzhi, still standing in the center of Chengtian Hall, spoke once more: "I, Song Hongzhi, the Commander of Liaozhen, have been ordered by Your Majesty to lead the battle against Gaoyang. With Your Majesty's divine authority, I have conquered Gaoping City, captured the King of Gaoyang and his family alive, and destroyed Gaoyang. I have fulfilled my mission!"
After saying this, he led the lieutenants in bowing slightly.
On the dragon throne.
After hearing this, Wei Yunyi's mouth twitched and he felt helpless.
But he still wore a smile on his face and said, "Good, very good, young uncle did a great job, I am very happy, the Liaozhen soldiers fought bloody battles, and they deserve a reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Hongzhi bowed immediately after hearing the words.
The deputy generals behind him were also extremely excited when they heard that His Majesty was going to give rewards.
It is true that they served in the army for many years, fought on the battlefield for many years, and made many contributions to the founding of the country.
But no achievement has ever reached the level of destroying a country.
Therefore, the deputy generals were very clear about this.
Battle of Gaoyang Kingdom.
Perhaps it will bring you great glory that you have never experienced before.
Sure enough, Wei Yunyi above nodded, looked at his brother-in-law below, and the smile on his face became more intense.
Before this, he had already thought about the reward for Song Hongzhi. As for the deputy generals and the soldiers in Liaozhen, he didn't need to worry about them. He could just leave it to the cabinet and the Ministry of War to handle.
Immediately, Wei Yunyi cleared his throat, looked at Wang Jin beside him, and said, "Announce the decree."
This edict was prepared before he held the grand court meeting.
But Wang Jin didn't hesitate at all.
He took out an imperial edict and said loudly, "By the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Commander-in-Chief of Liao, Song Hongzhi, marched a thousand miles and won a decisive battle, destroying the Kingdom of Gaoyang and strengthening the prestige of the Great Wei. His contribution is immense, and I am deeply pleased."
"According to the ancestral system of the Great Wei, meritorious service must be rewarded. I hereby issue an edict to grant the title of Marquis to Prince Song, with the title of Champion!"
"So ordered!"
After saying that, Wang Jin put away the imperial edict and walked down step by step.
at the same time.
Below, almost all the ministers were shocked when they heard the contents of the imperial edict.
Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief; even Song Gongwen was stunned.
Even someone as steady as Zhang Zhengming frowned deeply.
Obviously, it was also unexpected.
Everyone knew that Song Hongzhi would receive many rewards after returning to the court this time, and it would not be difficult to confer a title on him, but the fact that he was directly conferred the title of marquis was something that the court officials could not understand.
Although many people know that His Majesty is very caring towards the young uncle, otherwise he would not have let him serve in the Imperial Guard first.
Afterwards, he personally arranged for the imperial chef to go to Liaozhen so that the other party could have good food and drink.
But these are still within the acceptable range.
But now the reward...
For a moment, all the ministers were talking about it.
Chen Xuance and Ouyang Ji, who were attending court for the first time, also looked at each other.
However, just when no one understood.
Wei Yunyi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, began to smile at this moment.
Brother-in-law, isn't your style of leading troops in battle similar to that of that guy named Huo?
That’s good!
I will directly confer upon you the title of Marquis, the Champion Marquis!
In this way, the entire court would definitely be shocked and think that directly conferring the title of marquis was too exaggerated, and he would use this to achieve his goal of destabilizing the court.
After all, although my brother-in-law has made great contributions, his experience is too young, and this is his first time leading a team, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction.
Of course, this is just one of the arrangements for my brother-in-law, and the big deal is coming later.
But there's no rush now.
Let’s make my brother-in-law happy first.
Below.
When Song Hongzhi heard that he was conferred the title of Marquis of Guanjun, he was stunned for a moment.
He knew that this war to annihilate the country was an extraordinary achievement, and the emperor's brother-in-law had to carry out the last one.
And I am already prepared.
But the position of Marquis.
Song Hongzhi had never thought of this.
Although he knew that he had the potential to be a famous general and would be crowned a marquis, it was only a matter of time, but to achieve such an achievement in the first battle was a bit too much...
"Young uncle, please accept the order." At this time, Wang Jin walked closer with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Song Hongzhi looked a little confused and glanced at his father standing in the front row.
At this time, Song Gongwen was still in shock.
He didn't notice his son's look.
As for other ministers.
Even though I have objections to Your Majesty conferring the title of Marquis on Song Hongzhi.
But now is a grand court meeting, and if I speak directly, I am afraid it will displease His Majesty.
What about the censors of the Censorate?
They were the most qualified to speak, but thinking of the memorials from the Censorate that had been refuted one after another by His Majesty, they hesitated for a moment as to whether they should speak or not.
At this moment, Wei Yunyi, who was sitting upright, stood up and looked at Song Hongzhi, saying, "Little uncle, in this battle, you have enhanced the prestige of our Great Wei State. You have destroyed a country in one battle and are the bravest among the three armies. Your achievements are great. Marquis, you are worthy of the title of champion!"
"From now on, you will be the Champion Marquis of my Great Wei!"
