Chapter 171: Investiture Ceremony 2

Zhao Xu gently patted the weeping planter, and simply encouraged him a few words, and then ordered him to return to the class

"Lu Junyi, the former head of the march of the East Route Army."

"The end will be."

"Lu Junyi, since you entered the office, you have been following me to Ping Xixia, Dingjin Liao, and have made outstanding achievements, and I will give you a first-class imperial medal today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Seeing that his emperor gently pinned this golden first-class imperial medal representing the supreme military merit on his chest, Lu Junyi's face turned purple with excitement, this is the supreme honor among military merits, and it can reflect his current value more than those so-called promotions and fortunes. Lu Junyi looked firmly at the young emperor in front of him who was much younger than himself with the kind of eyes that regarded him as a confidant, and Lu Junyi felt it deeply in his heart. As long as he keeps following the young man in front of him, then, in the not-too-distant future, his name Lu Junyi will definitely resound throughout the world

"Lu Qingjia, this medal is not only my encouragement to you, but also my spur to you, no matter how urgent the situation on the battlefield in the future, how dangerous and difficult, I hope you can overcome it fearlessly, but the mistakes you have made in this war, I also hope that you can fully understand, the lion and the rabbit are still doing their best, not to mention that we are against those ferocious enemies." After Zhao Xu finished awarding Lu Junyi, he patted him on the shoulder and said to him earnestly

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will never make the mistakes made in this war again in the future."

"I believe in your determination, so go down."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking to Lu Junyi, he gently gestured to Xiaodouzi, Xiaodouzi bowed and sang in a high voice: "Shi Wengong, the former deputy head of the march of the East and West Route Army, Hu Yanzhuo, Jin Guiyong, the head of the rear army, Shi Wuyong, Chu Luli, Zhou Tong, the secretary of the military department, Liu Shihai, the secretary of the household department, the left and right servants of the Ordnance Department, Ling Zhen, Lin Chong, the commander of the Hua Wolf, and Zhang Qing, the commander of the ghost light cavalry, stepped forward to confer the medalβ€”β€”"

The same first-class imperial medal, the same excited tears, Jin Guiyong, Wu Yong, Chu Luli, Zhou Dong, Liu Shihai, Gongyi Nature and Ling Zhen, as well as in place of Shi Wengong, Hu Yanzhuo, Seed Master, Lin Chong and Zhang Qing stationed on the border of the empire, the family members who came to confer the medal, all of them were excited beyond words, for no other reason, the first batch of winners of the first-class imperial medal, what a great honor this is, even if their children and grandchildren will see this golden first-class imperial medal in the future, They would also be proud to have an ancestor like them

And even the heads of many ministries and departments such as Ouyang Shuliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Junyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Xu Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Xie Dongyi, and the heads of many ministries and departments, such as Yushitai, Cabinet Bachelor, etc., are full of excitement and purple, it seems that sometimes, honor is more tempting than giving red envelopes to these ministers

After Zhao Xu finished awarding the medals to the generals who had won the first-class Imperial Medal, and those who had won the first-class Imperial Medal continued to award the high-ranking generals who had won the second-class Imperial Medal, the ceremony went on calmly for nearly two hours, without the chaotic exchange of heads and whispers, and all the people present were extremely excited, whether they had won the medal or those who had not received the medal

After the procedures of the ceremony were completed, Zheng Junyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to Zhao Xu's side and said to him softly: "Your Majesty, all the processes of the ceremony have been completed, please make the final summary instructions of the ceremony." ”

Zhao Xu walked in front of the special copper loudspeaker, quietly looked at all the people in the square in front of him, and said softly: "All the ministers present, who are you to my Great Song Empire?" All the people present, some of you are talented and high-minded, literati who have studied the past and the present, and some are invincible generals who are proud of the battlefield and win thousands of miles away, you are the pillars of the empire, you are the backbone of the empire! There was once a person who told me that if the Great Song Dynasty wanted to become a real **** Shangguo, he must stop the imperial examination for thirty years, and he must kill almost all the civil officials, I think his words are wrong, so today's award ceremony, I want to prove one thing to all those who think that point of view is right, that is, all officials, regardless of military affairs, are the ministers of the pillar country of my Great Song Empire, and craftsmen are still needed to work, not to mention the call for governing the country, governing the country is naturally a craftsman who needs to govern the country, and the craftsman who governs the country must be among the scholars. Moreover, wolf hunting still needs a wolf commander, not to mention the war to defend the country and expand the land for thousands of miles, then there must be a commander among the ten thousand armies, and the generals must be among the soldiers. The minister of civil and military affairs is the right-hand man of the whole country, and today's ceremony, I want to tell you that you are all my arms. Today, some of you have received medals, and some of you have not, not because your ability is not good, but because you have not done enough, do you really think that these six books are all awarded medals because of the light that occupies me, but who of you can see their hard work and achievements, I hope that one day all the ministers will be able to wear the first-class imperial medal, or even the highest imperial medal of honor, I want to know that you do not have the confidence to work with me to create a great empire that stands proudly on top of the world!! ”

To say that Zhao Xu's words are not inflammatory, it is absolutely false, and his extremely magnetic voice slowly sent from inside caused all the ministers to be excited and kneel to Zhao Xu and shout in unison: "The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death, charge forward for Your Majesty, and make my Great Song Empire stand proudly on the top of the world, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, this award ceremony has passed more than a month, through the stimulation of this award ceremony, so that the officialdom atmosphere of the entire Song Empire, can be said to be from top to bottom all of a new look, as if an old and heavy engine, all of a sudden replaced with a new power system, and also injected with the world's most awesome lubricating oil, no matter what, the operation efficiency of the ministries and departments is called a flying high efficiency, and with the Ministry of officials and the Imperial History Tower, Constantly increasing the continuous review and screening of the entire official eunuch system, many officials who have no achievements in eating and waiting for death, greedy for money, and ignoring the lives of the people have been removed by a large number of people, and the high-speed flow of fresh blood that replaces them has made the official government of the entire Great Song Empire speed up to a state of rapid progress, and then fundamentally solved the problem of the bloated and inefficient official eunuch system of the Great Song Dynasty.
