Chapter 203: Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil
In the first year of Emperor Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after a long period of war, the Great Zhou finally returned to calm, and Zhao Zijun announced the use of the new era name [Jianyuan], which was for the first year of Jianyuan, and this day was also the fifth birthday of Emperor Wen Zhao Zijun, which can be described as double happiness.
Emperor Wen Zhao Zijun once again held a great court meeting, this time the significance is extraordinary, the world is decided, everyone is happy, and the meritorious ministers are heroic to welcome the grand scene that belongs to them.
"Your Majesty arrived, and the ministers knelt down to greet him." Emperor Wen Zhao Zijun strode into the Jinluan Palace, and Zhao Zili, as the regent, stood behind him with the [Sword of the Son of Heaven] in his hand.
At the beginning, Emperor Wu died in battle, and the [Son of Heaven Sword] was seriously damaged, but after Tang Tian's repair and the possession of [Bai], it was given a new look.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhongqing is flat." The ministers rose one after another.
"Cao Feng, let's make a decree."
"The minions obey." Cao Feng took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago.
"His Majesty Emperor Wen's edict said: The war in the Great Zhou Dynasty has subsided, thanks to the unity of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and the concerted efforts of the people. Fan Jian and Shi Heng listened to the seal. The two walked out of the queue and said, "Weichen is here." ”
"Fan Jian, the son of the Hubu Shangshu, rescued the important ministers of the court when Luoyang fell, protected the people, and made military achievements in the battle of Luoyang South Gate, and successfully opened the city gate Gong in Sheji, and now canonized you as the Marquis of Pingnan, and the Hubu Shilang." Fan Jian was overjoyed, he was able to seal the marquis and his ancestral tomb had exploded, but fortunately, he was able to maintain his heart and actively stand in line with Zhao Zili, of course, it was his IQ explosion at the last moment that he had today's status.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Ming is also very relieved, now that Fan Jian is the marquis, he has joined the household department, and with the support of the regent, the Fan family will become one of the best families in Luoyang in the future, and will embark on the pinnacle of life from then on.
"General Shi Heng, who fell in Luoyang, was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, helped His Majesty and the princess get out of danger at a time of crisis, and took the risk to open the city gate at the time of the Luoyang War. Shi Heng can be said to have soared into the sky, originally just a guard of the South City Gate, but in times of crisis, he made immortal feats, and was recognized by Zhao Zili, and was added by the national fortune, forcibly like a great master, and now the future of the marquis worship will be limitless.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
"Yazhou is too guarded by Yinlingzi, Jingzhou is too guarded by Guan Changling, Qingzhou is too guarded by Qingluan, and Youzhou is too guarded by Meng Tongtian, come forward to listen to the seal." Among the four of them, Yin Lingzi had the greatest credit, he used almost all the cases in Yazhou to participate in the war, and suffered heavy losses, and the remaining three people also had the merit of quelling the rebellion, but the credit was not as good as his.
But several people are too guarded, extremely ministers, unless they are crowned kings, there is not much room for rewards.
"Wechen is here."
"Yin Lingzi, you followed the regent to pay 100,000 casualties in Yazhou in the process of quelling the rebellion, and finally succeeded in quelling, and now canonized you as the king of Great Zhou Ling, with the same status as the royal family." This time it's fried, a new king with a different surname was born, and he is still the Taishou of Yazhou, and in the future, the military and political power will be in one, and Emperor Wen is really so relieved.
They don't know the essence of Yin Lingzi, he doesn't care about power, and with Zhao Zili here, even if he is given a hundred dares, he doesn't dare to think anything wrong about Da Zhou.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Guan Changling, Qingluan, Meng Tongtian, Yuan Shaoru and others have worked hard to quell the war in various states, and hereby write iron coupons, gold medals for avoiding death, and unless they rebel, they can be exempted from the crime of death three times." The ministers' eyes lit up, this is interesting, this reward looks very big, but the sin of avoiding death is just a sentence from His Majesty, but it can also block the mouth of the world.
The four of them also knew that this was almost the result, and now that many people in the state where the four of them were located who disagreed with their political views had also been secretly eliminated, Zhao Zili didn't know that he had already given them a lot of convenience, and it was too much to ask.
"Your Majesty, thank you."
"Lu Yan, Nangong Jueyu, Xiang Yu, and Chi Tianji stepped forward to listen to the seal." The highlight is here, these people have made great contributions in the peace of the chaos, and they are all descendants of the regent, the canonization has increased the majesty of Emperor Wen, and the canonization has damaged the face of the regent, it depends on how it is.
"There is no need to say much about your merits, and now there is a recommendation from the regent, canonizing you and the other four as the four elephants of the town, resting with the country, and the seven houses under your command are also named star officials to serve the country."
"Your Ministers obey." Everyone was speechless, these four people are the top masters in the world, the four strongest people under the command of the regent, and now they are actually working for Emperor Wen, what is the regent thinking.
However, there are still many people who have figured it out, so that Emperor Wen will inevitably be powerful and the imperial power will be stable, which is the result that the regent wants the most, the regent really has the world in mind, and many people silently give him a thumbs up in their hearts and worship him deeply.
From now on, the majesty of the regent Zhao Zili will not only not fall, but will rise, and the imperial power of Emperor Wen will definitely not be provoked.
After that, it was the turn of the soldiers of Yumen Pass, in this battle, every household in Yumen Pass was hung with alum, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and half of the 150,000 people supported by Jizhou were killed, and only Sun Feng and Chonglou were still alive in the high-rise, and the rest of the people sacrificed their lives for the country.
"Sun Feng, Chonglou, come forward and listen to the seal."
"The end will be."
"In the first battle of Yumen Pass, you and others resisted Dongyi and West Qin, and they did not retreat, and finally held the city pass, and tried to ensure that the Great Zhou was not invaded by foreign enemies. To say that Yin Lingzi is shocked enough, then the power of a good and cheap prince is to threaten the imperial power, Yumen Pass will definitely replenish enough troops, hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, if Sun Feng has a different heart one day, then it will be a greater threat than Yin Lingzi.
Zhao Zili also thought about this matter again and again, and finally chose to trust the two, with the white of [Dynasty Dao], even if they really dared to do anything out of the ordinary, they would be noticed as soon as possible, and Zhao Zili also left a few Haining's descendant generals, and he would know anything about it.
"For all the soldiers who died in battle, you can reward yourself as appropriate, and report to the imperial court, don't chill the families of the soldiers, if anyone dares to be greedy for ink, you can cut it first and then play."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Feng continued to read the holy decree, and there were quite a few people who were canonized, and they were read out for an hour, and they were all important figures, and those who had relatively small merits should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to canonize as appropriate.
In the end, for the posthumous sealing of the ninth princess Zhao Ziyu, in order to protect the new emperor and the sixth princess, the ninth princess died too heroically, and Zhao Zili also spread her deeds all over the world, and she was sad and cried when she heard this.
"The ninth princess Zhao Ziyu is unyielding, brave and fearless, witty, and finally martyred to protect His Majesty and the six princesses, His Majesty feels the grace of heaven, and the lower body is meritorious, and the ninth princess Zhao Ziyu is posthumously crowned as the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty Shenyu, and the temple is molded and worshipped by the people." The establishment of the temple is the first time that the Great Zhou Dynasty has opened the world, Zhao Zili knows that this move is a bit excessive, but it is also helpless, Zhao Ziyu uses the causal power to backlash too much, even if it is white, there is nothing to be done, and after death, he will not enter the reincarnation, forever wandering in the gap between [life and death] and will never be reborn.
The only way to let her re-enter reincarnation is to build a temple for her, and use the wishes of the people of the world to make her cause and effect, so that she can have a chance to be reincarnated again.
With the end of the canonization ceremony, the ministers knew that punishment was coming, King Cheng, King Jiujiang and the eldest prince were the source of this rebellion, but the three of them were all royalty, and His Majesty and the regent should also be cautious when it comes to the royal face.
In an uproar, three people in prison uniforms were brought up, but among the three, Zhao Zilin's mental state was very good, and he was fearless at the moment.
Zhao Zicheng looked dazed, his calculations were still empty in the end, so he lost everything, and he was resigned to his fate if he ended up like this.
And Zhao Zilei is also mourning more than his heart is dead, he has pursued glory and wealth all his life, for which he also betrayed everything, and finally failed.
The three of them were taken to the main hall and knelt down with a thud, and Zhao Zili looked at the three of them with their teeth about to be crushed.
Cao Feng looked at Emperor Wen and Zhao Zili, and then took out the holy decree and began to read it.
