Chapter 196: Reward from the Imperial Court

The Governor said and walked away.

At this time, the emperor arrived, and the eunuch screamed.

Needless to say, today's theme is the great victory in the west.

The military department is still in the book, and the news from Fengxi is reported one by one.

In the court, a suppressed exclamation sounded.

This exciting news, even if it is not the first time I have heard it, still makes people feel amazed from the bottom of their hearts.

The emperor bowed his head and said: "Killing the demon king is an immortal feat." ”

"This time the victory of Fengxi is a great victory, and the whole city has merit. ”

"Fengxi Provincial Government, especially in the first place. ”

The emperor asked again: "Shi Qing, can the request for Fengxi be delivered?"

The military department Shangshu Shi Qi was stunned, and then said: "Back to the emperor, I have not sent it." ”

The emperor frowned slightly.

Historically, when the war ended, the army would take the initiative to write a book, report the experience, and ask for credit at the same time.

However, Yin Ming is not a member of the military line, and this unwritten rule does not apply to him very well.

At this time, the official secretary said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received a letter from Feng Xi. ”

The emperor looked at the official book with questioning eyes.

The official Shangshu looked a little strange, and said: "The Fengxi Provincial Government has written a letter, saying that the territory of Fengxi has expanded several times, and it is necessary to send additional officials to manage it. ”

All the courtiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all thought of something.

Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, Fengxi has been eroded by the demon clan.

Even, most of the land is occupied by the demon clan.

The territory of Fengxi on the map does not match the actual living area of the Fengxi Terrans.

This time, the Fengxi Provincial Government defeated the demon clan, and naturally it was possible to subdue the rivers and mountains, which was a great achievement!

The emperor asked, "Territory expansion?"

"I remember that the territory of Fengxi was mostly occupied by the demon clan, and I don't know how much of it was recovered?"

The official Shangshu swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth, as if he didn't know how to express it.

The head of the household is still in the list, with a complicated expression.

The household department is in charge of the whole country's territory, and he has received an official reply about the matter of sealing the western territory, and he knows it better than the ministry.

Hubu Shangshu reluctantly said: "The Fengxi Provincial Government has officially written a book, saying that it is ......"

He said word by word: "West, to, west, mountain." ”

Rumble!

There was chaos in the court.

The ministers who are concerned about this matter know: Xishan, that is the territory of the demon clan!

This new provincial capital is so bold!

It's not enough to kill the demon king, he still dares to worry about the territory of the demon clan!

Throughout the history of the Terrans, since the Martial Ancestors, the territory of the Terrans has been shrinking.

Counterattacking the territory of the demon clan, thanks to this new provincial government, can come up with it!

The courtiers were all considering that he could subdue a few percent of the lost land, but he was better and went directly to the demon clan's lair.

He doesn't leave a way for the Xishan Demon Clan to live!

In the midst of the exclamation, the emperor was silent for a long time.

Finally, the emperor said: "Officials, cooperate with the requirements of the Fengxi Provincial Government." ”

"Also, in this year's imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites can also select suitable talents as appropriate and directly transfer them to Fengxi. ”

In the court, many ministers have begun to roll their eyes.

In the past, when it came to Fengxi, everyone avoided it like a snake and scorpion.

Not only was the demon clan rampant in that place, but there was no martial arts sage in Datang, and it was one of the most dangerous places in Datang.

Today, however, the situation is very different.

There is a strong man in Fengxi who has killed the four demon kings in a row.

No one cares that Yin Ming is not even a martial artist, strength itself is the biggest factor that makes people respect.

At this time, Yin Ming's status in the hearts of the ministers, although not as good as the sage, has far surpassed the ordinary little sage.

Moreover, now Fengxi can be said to be in ruins, which is a good place to add to the cake and make political achievements.

Especially some powerful people whose children have no martial arts talent, they can't help but peek at Qinglin Hou.

The emperor suddenly asked, "What happened to Nie Zhongping in the prison of the Criminal Department?"

The waiter of the Criminal Department hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Nie Zhongping committed suicide in prison in fear of crime. ”

The emperor's face has always been expressionless, but at this time, a flash of displeasure flashed.

He asked coldly, "When did this happen?"

Cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the waiter of the criminal department, and said, "Yes, last night." ”

The emperor sneered: "It's cheap, this crime is imprisoned." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the Grand Duke.

Most of the governors looked at their noses and noses, but they pretended not to notice the emperor's gaze.

The emperor said: "That's it, since you're dead, let's inform the Fengxi Provincial Government." ”

"The Department of Seal Inspection and the Examination of Merit, you two departments, how should the merit be assessed for this great victory?"

The inspection and sealing department is under the ministry of officials, and is in charge of affairs such as knighthood and grace, although it is a civilian position, it is also held by military attachΓ©s.

The Department of Merit Examination is a department in the military, which is responsible for the evaluation and review of military merits.

The chiefs of these two departments naturally won't get along with Yin Ming.

In particular, the chief of the Examination Department, the Chief of the Examination Department, will be Wang Xiyuan's father, and he also has a relationship with Yin Ming.

In the end, Yin Ming was knighted as the West Hou, the official position remained unchanged, and the rank was promoted to the second rank.

Others, such as gold and silver, are innumerably rewarded, needless to say.

Many courtiers showed envy in their eyes.

Datang attaches great importance to knighthood, and basically only military attaches can be knighted.

Moreover, to be able to be a marquis, it is all for those who have immortal merits.

For example, the Marquis of Qinglin is a noble of the previous dynasty, and his family has the merit of following the dragon when Taizu founded the country.

How old is Yin Ming, and as a civil official, he actually waited for the title by merit.

Could it be that in the future, there will be a situation of two princes in the Shuai Mansion?

At this time, the emperor suddenly asked: "Yi Xiang, I remember that you have a daughter in your house, can you be allowed to do so?"

The prime minister was stunned and said, "Back to the emperor, I didn't promise to match." ”

The emperor asked inexplicably: "Is there a good person then?"

The prime minister was even more confused, and said, "No." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "I see. ”

After that, the emperor no longer mentioned this matter, but continued to reward the heroes.

The courtiers were a little puzzled, and they didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked such two questions.

Under Yin Ming, Yang Ziming, as the prince of the mansion and the secretary of Yin Ming, received a relatively limited reward.

In the end, only one Viscount of Heishui County was sealed.

He is a descendant of the former dynasty and has a sensitive identity.

If it weren't for the great merit, the emperor might even find a reason to give him a death.

After that, it came to Liu Teng and others.

For these people, the emperor naturally does not hesitate to reward, and the title and wealth are not a problem.

Even, even the four personal soldiers that Feng Xiang gave to Yin Ming were knighted.

Of course, this time the victory of the West is far more than just these people.

It's just that the rest of the people have their own departments responsible for assessment, and it is impossible for everyone to bother the emperor to inquire in person.

At this time, the official secretary said: "Your Majesty, although the evaluation of meritorious heroes has been decided, there is still one matter that needs to be decided by the emperor." ”

"Although the sinner Nie Zhongping died in fear of his crimes, the post of governor of the Western Governor cannot be vacant, and people should be sent as soon as possible. ”

These words seemed to have some magical power, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly changed.
