Chapter 0223: Reward!
The imperial capital has changed!
The battle in the palace did not hide from the people in the imperial capital, and people all felt that after the storm, there would be a greater impact. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first to bear the brunt of the battle were the Xuanwu Hall and the Yongsheng Auction House, which were surrounded by the City Guard Regiment soon after the battle, and the royal family took control of the situation and arrested the people involved in the matter and put them in prison.
Although the Xuanwu Hall is strong, it is also as weak as ants in front of the empire's war machine, and no one dares to resist.
The royal family quickly passed down the order and sent experts to each state, capital and county, and quickly controlled the Xuanwu branch hall, so as not to make any resistance.
Yongsheng Auction House was much less damaged, and after Li Cai finally saw the demons of Leng Xiaoran and others, he had a heart of resignation, so he did not affect his own auction house, but he no longer had the trust of the royal family and was imprisoned.
Li Cai knew that he was on the wrong team, but he did not resist in the slightest, and was very obedient.
At the same time, the royal family launched a great purge, and those officials and generals who helped the prince were arrested one after another, and even their families were not spared, all of them were arrested.
Some people were punished, and naturally some people made meritorious contributions, the Danshi Association helped the royal family this time and won the royal family's commendation, Bu Zhi was named the protector of the country, and other people who helped the royal family resist the rebellion also received different rewards.
The forces in the empire have changed dramatically, and the heavens have completely changed.
And the most enviable and jealous is Qin Fei, who has been praised by the royal family by name and praised him as a great hero who saves the country and the people.
A month later, everything that should be cleaned was cleaned, everything that should be solved was solved, and everything was calm again.
After the rebellion, the old emperor fell completely ill, and a month after the matter subsided, he officially announced that he would pass the throne of the emperor to the third prince, Zhu Li.
Zhu Li sat on the throne of God, and the new emperor was born!
On this day, Qin Fei and Lei Zhen were summoned by the new emperor, and when the two came to the palace, they saw that the high-ranking and powerful officials in the empire were all impressive.
There is a new Minister of Finance, the original Minister of Finance was investigated for funding the eldest prince, and the whole family was beheaded, and the new Minister of Finance was a young man in his thirties, with a shrewd appearance.
There is a new commander in chief of the military department, and now in the center of power in the imperial capital, almost all important positions have been replaced, and they have been replaced by people trusted by Zhu Li.
Seeing Qin Fei come in, everyone looked at him with respect and politeness, everyone knew very well what the relationship between Qin Fei and the new emperor was like in the past month, they were like brothers, or even better than brothers, almost everything, the new emperor brought Qin Fei with him, which shows that the importance and care for him is extraordinary.
Someone secretly inquired, knowing that Qin Fei was the new emperor's savior, and the two were sworn brothers, after knowing this relationship, everyone knew that Qin Fei would definitely be the new emperor's confidant, and he couldn't be provoked.
In the past month, the relationship between these ministers and Qin Fei has actually become very familiar, they have found various opportunities to get close to him, Qin Fei is naturally very clear about their purpose, and on the surface, they get along very harmoniously.
But he knows very well that in the whirlpool of imperial power, he still tries not to get involved, the former prince of Zhu Li, the identity is not as noble as it is now, everyone can be called brothers, but now it is different, the so-called companion is like a tiger, he doesn't want to stay in this vortex!
During the period of time when he was planning to deal with Zhu Zhi, he saw Zhu Li's cleverness and decisiveness, and he could even be said to be indifferent, even if the eldest prince was his own brother, he would not hesitate to deal with it at any cost.
Since his own brothers are like this, let alone that he and he are just sworn brothers?
Summoned this time, he had already prepared himself, and perhaps it was time for him to retire.
"Brother Fei, you're here! Come on, give me a seat!" Zhu Li was very enthusiastic when he saw Qin Fei, and hurriedly ordered the guards on the side to bring up a chair.
This scene stunned everyone, when all the officials faced the saint, they were all standing, and no one dared to sit and speak in front of the emperor, but as soon as Qin Fei came, he was immediately given a seat, and His Majesty the Emperor's weight towards him was simply extraordinary!
Everyone looked at Qin Fei with envy and admiration.
Qin Fei smiled and refused: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
Zhu Liyi raised his eyebrows, and his voice became irresistible: "Brother Fei, what Gu said is the holy decree, Gu said that you should sit, why can't you do it? You won't resist the decree, right?"
Although he said it with a smile, the fierceness in his eyes was very obvious.
Qin Fei sighed in his heart, and only then did he react, the emperor's words could not be resisted, whether it was right or wrong.
He hurriedly saluted and sat down half-next to the chair.
"Brother Fei, you have made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver this time, and you will be crowned the king of Zhendu! and assist Gu to deal with state affairs in the future, and when you enter the palace to see Gu in the future, you don't need any notice, you can see Gu at any time!" Zhu Li loudly announced the reward for Qin Fei.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was taken aback.
Actually a king!
After Zhu Li sat on the throne of God, he rewarded the meritorious ministers, but Qin Fei, who had the greatest credit, has not been implemented, and everyone guessed in their hearts what kind of reward His Majesty the Emperor would give Qin Fei.
Although everyone speculated in their hearts that the emperor would definitely give Qin Fei the biggest reward, no one thought that Qin Fei would actually be crowned king!
King is the exclusive title of the members of the royal family, after the emperor ascended the throne, only his brother will receive such a noble title, no one in history has ever received such an honor except the royal family, no matter how much merit has been made, it is impossible to obtain the title of king.
But now, Qin Fei has been named the king of Zhendu, this honor is simply too great, everyone gasped, and looked at the emperor in surprise, not understanding why he would crown Qin Fei as the king.
This has broken the usual exception of the Xuanling Empire.
Moreover, Qin Fei also obtained the right to assist the emperor's main force in state affairs, how big is this right? The officials present were very clear that His Majesty the Emperor wanted Qin Fei to participate in state affairs, which showed how much attention was attached to him.
The most special thing is the last reward, you don't need to report when you enter the palace, you can go straight to see the emperor, this right has never been obtained, which means that the palace is simply Qin Fei's home, and he will enter and exit without being hindered in the slightest.
Even the kings of the previous emperors did not have such special rights.
What is Your Majesty the Emperor going to do?
"Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely unacceptable!" Qin Fei also knew that this reward was too big, so big that he was a little at a loss, he never expected that Zhu Li would give himself such a big shock......
Yes, it was frightened, except that he was frightened, he did not have half a point of joy.
The more Zhu Li valued him, the more uneasy he felt, he had seen so many massacres of officials in the past month, and he had already made up his mind that he would never participate in the imperial politics of the empire.
Zhu Li really gave him a big gift!
"Unacceptable, is it because you are still not satisfied with Lone's reward?" Zhu Li looked at him and smiled.
Qin Fei hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean this, but your reward was too heavy, and the minister felt panicked!"
"Haha, it's not heavy, it's not heavy, Lone just wants to reward you, you have made such a great contribution to the empire, Lone will never treat you badly, this matter is settled, Scattered Dynasty, Brother Fei, you and Lei Zhen stay with Lone!" Zhu Li didn't give Qin Fei a chance to refute the refusal, and directly announced his retreat from the dynasty, and the officials withdrew, looking at Qin Fei and Lei Zhen with envious eyes one by one, being able to accompany the emperor was a great honor in their minds.
"Let's go!" Zhu Li was in front, Qin Fei and Lei Zhen followed, and came to his dormitory.
"Your Majesty......" Qin Fei was just about to ask him what was the matter with the two of them, but Zhu Li waved his hand to stop him from talking, then glanced at the maids in the palace, waved them out, and only the three of them were left in the palace.
