Chapter 128: Becoming a Duke
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, with the help of the newly purchased maid, Qin Feng put on the white robe that Lao Luoko had equipped for him, and went out towards the palace.
Although Qin Feng had just come to Meisha City for less than a day, as an upstart in the empire, there were still many people who knew him, and they kept greeting him along the way, but it was also lively.
When Qin Feng followed his attendants to the Qinzheng Hall of the Mehes Palace, he found that Generalissimo Cherno had already stood in the first row of the generals, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking, and the entire Qinzheng Hall seemed to be shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
Qin Feng swept the entire Qinzheng Hall and found that Wen Chen was standing on the left and the military general was standing on the right. And the fifth position below Generalissimo Cherno was empty, so he took a few steps forward and stood in that position. Qin Feng took the opportunity to look at the leaders of the ministers of the Mehris Empire who were standing at the beginning on the left and right.
The Wenchen on the left is divided into two rows because of the large number of them, and the two standing in the front are tall and thin, and the other is short and fat. Qin Feng met at the banquet yesterday, the tall and thin one was Rams Felke, the left minister of the empire, and the short and fat one was the right minister, Jihard Waller.
Standing behind the left minister is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance, while behind the right minister is the Minister of War and the Minister of Justice.
......
Just as Qin Feng was looking at the ministers of Mehs, Emperor Brad of Mehs walked into the Qinzheng Palace, glanced at the ministers in the main hall, and walked onto the throne with satisfaction.
It was no different from the court meeting of Great Qin, at the beginning, some small shrimp of the left and right phases began to argue about some daily trivial affairs, and Qin Feng was depressed and about to fall asleep, but these people finally knew how to observe words and "colors", and when they saw His Majesty Brad's face "showing" impatient "color", they all wisely returned to their original positions. made Qin Feng sigh for a while, a big country deserves to be a big country, and even mosquitoes know so much.
Next. It is also the most important link, that is, to make a summary of the battle with Hulan.
This time, the left and right sides were surprisingly unanimous, and they praised and praised Generalissimo Cherno and Qin Feng, only blowing the two of them to the heavens and the earth, and their exploits were infinitely expanded, what defeated the millions of enemy troops in Hulan, Qin Feng killed more than 500,000 Hulan people by himself, etc., Rao is a cheeky person like Qin Feng couldn't help but blush for a while.
The farce finally ended with a cough from His Majesty Brad. However, the ensuing question made Brad uncertain, that is, how to reward the two people who had the most credit for the war.
For Generalissimo Chernoh, His Majesty Brad still thinks it is very easy to handle, after all, Cherno is already the generalissimo of Mehros at the moment, and his power is second only to the emperor himself, plus he is one of the four great sword saints on the mainland, and he is an old man in his eighties, for these official positions. Money was already very light, so His Majesty Brad simply promised to engrave his name on the martyr's monument, and the old man with pale hair couldn't keep his mouth shut.
As for Qin Feng, His Majesty Brad felt that it was very tricky. According to Qin Feng's exploits, the record of killing nearly 50,000 Hulan people alone was enough to make him rank among the imperial marshals (in terms of military merits). Not to mention the killing of King Zuoxian, Hulan Khan, and the capture of the Blood Wolf Banner, which have never happened in history.
If it is calculated according to military merits, there is only one position suitable for Qin Feng, the emperor of the Mehris Empire. So for the whole question of how to reward Qin Feng. His Majesty Brad felt helpless. The reward must be rewarded, and it must be rewarded, the question is how much to reward for the heavy reward, and if the reward is less, it will make the hearts of thousands of soldiers in the land of Mehes cold, so the question of how to place Qin Feng has been bothering His Majesty Brad for the past few days.
After the banquet had dispersed last night, His Majesty Brad convened an urgent cabinet meeting. It's about discussing it. But in the end, no consensus was reached.
In the end, it was Zuo Xiang who came up with an idea, and His Majesty Brad was relieved and had a good night's sleep.
"Second Marquis Tagore stepped forward to listen to the seal!" A shrill voice startled Qin Feng, who was wandering outside the world, and Qin Feng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, pretending to hear it respectfully.
"Marquis Tagore, Second Class, is loyal and brave............ He was promoted to the Duke of Huwei of the first class. A first-class duke's palace. According to the prince's example, a set of dragon scale armor is appreciated. Amethyst coins are million, reward ............" a long list of rewards, and after reading a full cup of tea, the civil and military officials of the Qinzheng Palace were so envious that they drooled.
However, when Qin Feng listened carefully, he understood that it was greasy. It lists a long list of rewards, which at first glance seem to be quite rich, but the two most important military positions and fiefs are not mentioned in the slightest. According to the relevant laws of Mehes, even a small baron of the third rank has a small fief belonging to him, even if it is a small village.
However, in the reward for Qin Feng, there was no mention of the fief, and even a set of duke's mansions were given, to put it bluntly, Qin Feng was placed under house arrest in Meisha City in disguise!
Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, but there was a grateful expression on his face.
Fortunately, I kept a hand, otherwise I would have really killed these old foxes.
After the reward was over, His Majesty Brad said a bunch of nonsense that was not nutritious in Qin Feng's eyes before leaving the Qinzheng Hall with small eyes squinted.
"Grand Duke Huwei, congratulations!" Generalissimo Cherno was the first to come forward to congratulate His Majesty Brad after he left.
"I still have a lot of thanks to the Generalissimo for his support!" Qin Feng replied.
After that, those civil and military ministers came forward to congratulate him, Qin Feng had no choice but to respond one by one, and by the time he finally finished being polite with those people, Qin Feng was already sweating.
"Dealing with these people is actually more tiring than fighting a battle!
Walking and walking, I walked to the place where I met the woman in white yesterday.
Suddenly, a beautiful shadow flashed in Qin Feng's sight, Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he chased in that direction.
After a few turns, the white shadow walked into a tall building.
Qin Feng couldn't care about the shocking world, his luck was ethereal, and he arrived in front of the tall building with a few ups and downs. Look up. I saw that the seven large characters of "Mehes Demon Martial Academy" exuding a majestic aura were engraved on the beams of the gate.
Is she inside? Qin Feng thought about it, but decided to go in and take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped because it was not allowed to enter the school by students or teachers.
Qin Feng returned to the Marquis's Mansion happily, but found that the Marquis's Mansion was empty, and when he was wondering, the old butler Locke walked in.
"Sir, you're back. Congratulations on your ascension!" Old Locke saluted Qin Feng respectfully.
"Locke, how did you learn the same as everyone else! What's wrong with the family, where are those maids and family members?" Qin Feng asked strangely.
"Master, the Duke's Mansion that Your Majesty gave you today, just now the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to take me to accept it, so the old slave took these maids and family members to clean it up, thinking that when you come back, you can live directly in the Duke's Palace. Old Loko replied with a bow.
"Then what are you doing when you come back now?" Qin Feng asked puzzled.
"Sir, now that the Duke's Palace has been cleaned up, you can move in now. The old slave is coming back to see if the master has returned, so that he can take you to the current Duke's Palace. Old Loko patiently explained.
"Oh, it's done so quickly?" Qin Feng asked with some interest.
"Yes, the Duke's Palace was converted from the original residence of a prince, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has only removed some royal things, and the rest has not changed much. ”
Qin Feng nodded. I understand in my heart, it turns out that this duke's mansion is really at the prince's level, it seems that this fat emperor is still quite trustworthy.
"Locke, go. Let's go to our new home. As soon as Qin Feng greeted Locke, he went out first.
The city is divided into four large districts, east, west, north and south, except for the palace built in the center of the city, the residences of those ministers are distributed in these four major districts, the four major districts of east, west, north and south are honored in the east, followed by the north, the third in the south, and the last in the west. And Qin Feng's original Marquis' Mansion was in Beicheng District. The current Duke's Palace is in Dongcheng District.
Qin Feng followed behind Old Luo Ke expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Qin boy, I see that you have a deep love for that woman in white~~ Tsk, you girl, you are still a person who kills people without blinking, but I saw that the woman I love is actually like an innocent little boy~~" A spiritual message suddenly appeared in Qin Feng's head.
Smiling bitterly, Qin Feng didn't explain, there are some things that can't be decided so early.
The headquarters of the Mercenary Union, one of the three major trade unions in the mainland, was built in Meisha City. Qin Feng followed Old Loko past the mercenary union. I found that the union was very noisy, so I walked towards the mercenary union in curiosity. In fact, it's not that Qin Feng is eventful. Rather, Tiger Soul reminded him that it felt a spiritual fluctuation that was very similar to the familiar aura of tens of thousands of years ago.
Qin Feng motioned to Old Roko to wait a while, and then walked in, of course, the few gatekeepers who didn't know how to lift the gate of the mercenary union were thrown out by Qin Feng mercilessly, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
As soon as Qin Feng stepped into the door of the mercenary union, he felt a sense of intimacy that he had not seen for a long time, it seemed to be a feeling of blood connection, and after careful searching, in the crowd, a giant man with a height of nearly two and a half meters also looked at him, his eyes were full of surprise.
Qin Feng looked at the giant man carefully, and found that his upper body was almost 'naked', with a cloth bag hanging horizontally, a cloth fork around his waist, and two giant axes in his hands, the green tendons on his forehead were very prominent, and he seemed to be on the verge of eruption.
