According to the little Taoist priest, it will take half a month to a month.
Although Wei Yunyi felt it was a bit slow, there was no other way.
The other party's whereabouts are not fixed.
Even the reason for him to enter the palace this time was because of the young Taoist priest's mediation. Otherwise, Wei Yunyi wondered whether the other party would enter the palace.
So now all we can do is wait.
Of course, during this period of time, he can practice and improve his cultivation strength as much as possible.
There were many things going on at court, but there was no need to pay attention. After all, after the various measures taken over the past few months, everything was back on track, so I could just let my ministers handle it.
And another thing is that Wei Yunyi now has no good way to continue to curb his luck.
The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was the last battle in the south.
There are also two major projects underway at the court.
Plus various recent events.
After the land tax was distributed according to the amount of land, a lot of the taxes collected were consumed, so that there was not much money left in the national treasury.
This aspect can, to a certain extent, affect the national strength and fortune of the Great Wei. Otherwise, according to Wei Yunyi's idea, this number will only skyrocket even more, and will definitely not be just 50,000.
Obviously, what I did was actually effective.
It's just not that obvious.
But anyway, it was a comfort to Wei Yunyi.
However, what he needs to consider now is not these, but the return of Marquis Shenwu to the court.
According to convention, as before, after the court was adjourned, a grand court meeting was held to welcome the court ministers and the people.
In fact, Wei Yunyi did not want to do this. On the contrary, he did not even have the idea of holding a welcome ceremony or holding a court meeting, which would leave people with the impression that he was mean and ungrateful.
In this way, he could affect his own prestige and make his ministers and soldiers feel unhappy.
But the reality is cruel. An emperor's power almost all comes from whether he has military power in his hands.
In other words, whether those soldiers are loyal to the emperor.
As long as the soldiers are loyal.
Even if the emperor was a little cruel, it would not have any impact.
But if not, it would be dangerous and the power in your hands would be greatly weakened.
An emperor without military power is easily overthrown. Wei Yunyi did want to be a tyrant, but he did not want to be a king who destroyed the country. After all, that was not his original intention.
Therefore, as the emperor, he went to welcome the Marquis of Shenwu and the victorious soldiers returning from the north.
The process is actually the same as the last time we welcomed my brother-in-law, and the rewards are given when they are due.
Those who deserve titles should be given titles.
As for the Marquis of Shenwu, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, he naturally received rewards, but his opponent was already a marquis, and the next level up was a duke. Although he also had this qualification, Emperor Taizu had an ancestral precept that any hereditary title granted by the founding of a nation could not be promoted.
Besides, the title of Marquis Shenwu is hereditary and will not be reduced in number, which is already a great favor from heaven.
Therefore, Wei Yunyi finally decided to give the other party the title he deserved according to the laws of the court.
However, he did not directly ask for the other party's military token back.
This move shocked the ministers in the court.
Generally speaking, military generals who are fighting outside the country, except those who are guarding the border or those who hold military and political power in a region like the Protector-General of a Protectorate, should take back their military command after returning to the court.
Especially the Marquis of Shenwu, who is extremely prestigious in the army and should be a rich and idle person, but Your Majesty still allows him to control the military power.
And unlike before, Marquis Shenwu went to Zhenbei Pass and was in charge of the troops in the entire northern border, which was the elite army of the Wei Dynasty.
This military power should be in the hands of the court and the emperor.
But Your Majesty doesn't seem to care about it.
Although Shenwu Hou was loyal to the court.
But in order to balance the forces in the DPRK, we need to pay attention to it, right?
Many ministers did not understand this, even the Minister of War Lin Yuansong was confused.
But Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming did not think so. They knew very well that after this period of time, His Majesty's prestige was unmatched, both in the court and in the army.
More importantly, the people of the world regard Your Majesty as a wise ruler.
Since the emperor is so popular, even if some of his subordinates have military power, it will definitely not have any impact.
Therefore, His Majesty did not care about this at all. He allowed the Marquis of Shenwu to continue to control the military power, firstly to stabilize the military morale, and secondly to be able to directly deploy troops when a major war broke out in the north in the future.
They felt that His Majesty's decision was normal and wise. Of course, there was another more important point: the loyalty of the Marquis of Shenwu was known to everyone.
Even if the other party takes control of the military power, there will be no problem, and it also reflects Your Majesty's full trust in his subjects.
Therefore, in the eyes of the two, His Majesty's imperial mentality has reached an extremely high level.
The means used are not tricks, but open strategies.
Just like when Prince Yan was released to his fiefdom.
Like the last southern expedition, conquering Baiyue.
Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen knew very well that with such means, His Majesty's future achievements would be unimaginable, and the prosperity of the Wei Dynasty would surpass any previous dynasty.
But Wei Yunyi didn't know what his ministers were thinking. He didn't accept the military token from the Marquis of Shenwu simply because he forgot.
The day passed quickly, filled with various complicated ceremonies, and he just sat upright on the dragon throne the whole time.
He said a few words from time to time, but ignored everything else.
