The noise had long since ceased, and the people and soldiers in the streets had gradually dispersed. In this way, the coronation ceremony came to an end.

However, although the ceremony has ended, Zhao Qingxuan can't rest yet. There are still a lot of things waiting for him, the King of Song, to work out.

Although the previous mutiny did not cause much damage, it still caused a rebellion in the city to some extent. If you don't deal with the aftermath as soon as possible, it will always have some bad effects.

Therefore, when Zhao Qingxuan stepped down from the Heavenly Mandate Platform, although he was reluctant, he still sat back on the throne of the main hall under Zhang Yu's compulsion and listened to the reports of the ministers. After they had finished talking about the bereavement of the fallen soldiers and the compensation of the affected people in the city, they talked about the punishment of the officials involved in the mutiny.

"The partial general Xiao Haiyang, who tried to assassinate Gu's brother-in-law, should have been beheaded for public display. But on the part of the fact that he has made a lot of contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, let me avoid the death penalty. Well... He was given fifty lashes, stripped of his official position, and demoted to a junior sergeant of the Zhennan Army. ”

Zhao Qingxuan looked at Guo Yu below and asked, "Deal with it like this, brother-in-law, do you have any opinions." ”

"There is an opinion."

Guo Yu walked to the middle and said in a deep voice to Zhao Qingxuan: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to die at the feet of the princess at a young age... So, your Majesty, can you stop calling your courtiers brothers-in-law? ”

Regarding Guo Yu's words, Zhao Qingxuan naturally turned a deaf ear, and he grinned: "Speaking of which, the Marquis of Liaoling also misses his little sister, and you will also go to Yanzhou next, so go with her, and by the way, you can also go to meet your future father-in-law." ”

Guo Yu opened his mouth, and finally silently retreated to the team.

How Xiao Haiyang dealt with it, Guo Yu really didn't care much, anyway, he was beaten badly. is also angry, it doesn't matter if he dies or not.

However, what Zhao Qingxuan said still made Guo Yu's heart move.

Zhao Qingxuan wants to go to Yanzhou by himself?

Guo Yu didn't think that Zhao Qingxuan had mind reading skills and could know his thoughts about going to Yanzhou to find Xiaoice. There is only one possibility, he said.

Perhaps, the Great Song Dynasty is going to move troops against northern Xinjiang.

Guo Yu frowned slightly.

Although it seems that the northern Xinjiang is still in the midst of civil strife, the Great Song Dynasty is also not very easy.

The situation in the northwest was still tense, and it was reported that Li Hongtu personally led a heavy army to Qizhou, which had the intention of swallowing the Qi army and the Song army. And to the south, Ma Zhiyuan, who was named the Marquis of Shenwu by the King of Xiaoqi, was also stationed on the border of Jianghuai, with a posture ready to move.

It doesn't seem like a good idea for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to the north at such a time.

Guo Yu was secretly thinking to himself, and Zhao Qingxuan's gaze above had already turned to Shi Yi, who was still kneeling in the hall.

"After all, it is also a great crime of rebellion, and if the punishment is too light, it is always bad."

"I understand."

Shi Yi bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"The partial generals Zhang Heng and Wang Bao led the army to attack and kill the new army without authorization, causing more than 3,000 casualties in the new army. The number of the banner barracks was cut off, and the soldiers in the battalion were all demoted to inferior soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty!"

After listening to Zhao Qingxuan's words, many military attachés on the right couldn't stand still, and four or five people hurriedly walked out of the queue and said urgently to Zhao Qingxuan: "In troubled times, if you abolish a strong army like the Great Banner Army, it is tantamount to cutting off your own arm." Although the two commanders of Zhang and Wang were guilty, they made a big mistake after all, because Wang Junjie was deceived. May the king spare the two rulers for the sake of the two rulers who have been fighting for several years. ”

"According to what you say, no one will be punished for these troublemakers, just let them go."

Zhao Qingxuan rolled his eyes, "Xiao Haiyang just remembered that he had merit, and he was spared the death penalty." If these two people read it again, wouldn't it be very faceless to be alone? ”

"Face is a small matter, but the country is a big matter."

Zhang Yu shook his head and arched his hand at Zhao Qingxuan: "As several generals said, now is the time to employ people, so it is better to spare their lives." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Send the two of them, together with the Great Banner Army, to General Zhao of Qizhou, and let them make meritorious contributions."

"In that case, how should the new army armor explain it?"

Zhao Qingxuan asked: "The new army has killed a lot of people this time, if they only do this kind of punishment, will they have complaints?" ”

"Those two fools are both heavy generals under the command of the Great General, and the prestige of the Great Banner Army in the army is not low. If the two of them are slaughtered, the new army may not be grateful to Dade, but the other battalion armor soldiers are dissatisfied with the king. ”

Pang Yu shook his head and said, "The lesser of two evils." ”

Zhang Yu nodded approvingly.

After all, most of the people in the field didn't care much about the 10,000 sergeants under Lu Bo's command.

It is better to surrender the army to be dissatisfied than to chill your own soldiers.

"That's according to the two prime ministers. Zhang Heng and Wang Bao, each with eighty rods, were sent to Qizhou to let the little brother of Gu train them well. ”

"The thief Zhang Yi and Wang Junjie have all been punished, so there is no need to say more. There's no need to cut off your head and hang it at the city gate, after all, it's weird and scary. ”

Zhao Qingxuan waved his hand and said: "The rest of the participants have all been stripped of their official positions and sent to the north. ”

In this regard, all the ministers have no objection.

It stands to reason that people like Zhang Yi and Wang Junjie who are rebellious should have punished the Nine Clans. However, everyone in the hall had a very tacit understanding, and none of them mentioned this stubble.

After all, if this is really done, the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty are afraid that they will be directly reduced by half. And don't talk about others, one Zhang Yu and one Wang Invincible, which of these two heads of the Zhang and Wang families can be killed?

There is no need to say much about Zhang Yu's importance to the king, and Wang Wuving, a martial artist who has entered the high realm, they dare not provoke him.

According to Pang Yu's words, this is a bureau set up for the family. Since the Zhang family has suffered a great loss of vitality, there is no need to kill them all.

"Okay, if there is a punishment, there must be a reward, and after the punishment is over, let's talk about the reward."

Zhao Qingxuan looked down at Pang Yu, who nodded slightly at him.

"General Zhenxi is invincible."

"The old man is here."

Wang Wudi slowly walked out of the queue.

"The old general fought for the Great Song Dynasty all his life, and his contributions are countless, and today he saved Gu and Pang Xiang in the hands of Zhang Yi. The old general was named the Marquis of Zhenxi and the lord of the city. ”

Zhao Qingxuan smiled at the old man: "The old general is old after all, it is not appropriate to continue to run around the battlefield, it's time to enjoy some blessings." ”

After listening to Zhao Qingxuan's words, Wang Wushu immediately fell silent.

Looking at the invincible Wang who didn't say a word, Guo Yu raised his eyebrows.

The matter of being a marquis is equivalent to the highest glory for military generals. But Zhao Qingxuan is invincible in this Zhenxi Hou, but there is a great way to do it.

You must know that Wang Wushu is one of the generals of the Four Towns. Now that he has been made a marquis by the king, and he has been given the position of the lord of the city, then his position as the general of Zhenxi must not be kept. And the last sentence that the king said "enjoy some pure blessings" wants to express exactly this meaning.

Although the marquis is the highest honor, it is also a false name; But the military power in the hands of the general at the edge of the town is real. It is true that the position of the city lord of a big city is indeed a fat difference, but compared with the general at the edge of the town, it is still a little worse.

Thinking of the city lord, Guo Yu couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

In the list read out by Zhang Yu earlier, there was no position of the city lord of the city.

Could it be that this is an official position reserved for Wang Wudi for the elderly? Pang Yu had already calculated that Wang Wushu would not only not be forced to rebel by him, but would also take action to protect the royal family?

In the face of Pang Yu's hand, how will Wang Wushu choose?

"The old general is dissatisfied with Lone's decision?"

Zhao Qingxuan smiled at Wang Wuving, who was becoming more and more silent below: "If that's the case, Gu will reward you with a handful of melon seeds that Gu treasured, smell and eat fragrant." ”

“… Not necessarily. ”

Wang Wushu tightened his palm, but finally let go. He let out a long breath and said softly, "Thank you." ”

After saying this, the old man lowered his head, and his originally straight body became a little rickety. He turned, walking slowly towards the line of military attachés on the right.

Zhao Qingxuan scratched his head.

This is the first time that Wang Wushu has bowed his head, and it is also the first time that he has called himself king.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qingxuan spoke again: "Black Bamboo General Wang Ziwei." ”

"The minister is here."

Hearing Zhao Qingxuan's call, Wang Ziwei walked to the middle.

"General Wang turned the tide in the battle of Tianwei Pass, and his performance in the battle of Tianlan was also very active. This time, he killed his relatives again and killed Wang Junjie, one of the thieves. ”

Zhao Qingxuan said: "Yes, Wang Ziwei was promoted to the general of the expedition to the west, and the president of the Yanyun Cavalry Army." ”
