As for Lan Yu and Chang Yuchun, the reason for the reward is much simpler, and it is purely based on the military merits counted by the military department in the later period.

During the Northern Expedition of the Jinling Army, although Lan Yu and Xu Da were both generals who led an army alone, they were actually Xu Da's deputies, and in terms of strategic level, they were all decided by Xu Da.

As for Chang Yuchun, Chang 100,000, he doesn't need to say more, this is a general, but he is not a commander, and his military merits are also a lot worse than Zhu Yuanzhang, who swept several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

The two of them are convinced by His Majesty's reward, and their military achievements are not as good as others, which is nothing to say.

"Feng Tanghe, Marquis of Yongchang, hereditary repudiation of the Marquis, give an iron coupon to avoid death, and an annual salary of 2,000 stones."

"Sealing ......"

The reward continued, and those who followed Song Xuan to raise troops in Hangzhou at the beginning, and those who held important positions in the Jinling regime in the later period, at least received the title of earl.

Of course, most titles are diminishing from generation to generation, and cannot be hereditary.

After the reward was completed, Song Xuan sat majestically on the dragon chair, looked at the courtiers who couldn't help but be happy, and slowly spoke.

"Liu Bowen, you tell everyone, under normal circumstances, according to the laws of my Wu Dynasty, how to be knighted!"

Liu Bowen hurriedly stepped out of the ranks and said in a loud voice: "According to the military merit system of the Wu Dynasty, those who are made earls need to command the army to fight and destroy more than 100,000 enemies. For those who are hereditary and replace the marquis, the total number of enemies must reach one million.

As for the hereditary replacement duke, it is required to be ten times that of the marquis, and it is necessary to destroy the country several times before he can be awarded the title of duke! ”

Song Xuan looked around at the ministers and said, "Is it difficult?" ”

The ministers didn't dare to speak, Song Xuan looked at Xu Da and said, "Wei Guogong, do you think these requirements are too high?" ”

Xu Da hurriedly said: "The minister is ashamed, if you talk about military merits, even if the minister confers the title of hereditary marquis, it is quite reluctant, let alone the position of duke." ”

Song Xuan bowed his head and said: "As the founding ministers, you have the merit of following the dragon, and I will not hesitate to reward you." But from today onwards, I have made a rule here, and in the future, I will be knighted, and future generations of kings must be implemented in accordance with the military merit system, and cannot be changed without authorization.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a different opinion? ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then they all bowed down and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

The founding heroes always have some preferential treatment, but if the civil and military officials of later generations want to be knighted, they must be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the military merit system.

There's no way around it.

Song Xuan's goal is not only to conquer this land of East Asia, but to bring down all the lands in this world that are suitable for human survival.

In the future, war is naturally indispensable, and the generals of the Wu Dynasty who have made outstanding achievements will emerge in endlessly.

Therefore, when Song Xuan first formulated the military merit system, he deliberately made it much more difficult to be knighted, and it must be strictly implemented in accordance with this system in the future.

Otherwise, a hundred years later, the noble class of the Wu Dynasty will be overflowing!

By the end of the ceremony, it was already dark.

In the main hall, the civil and military officials are all smiling, and most of the people who can enter the palace to participate in the reward are the officials who followed Song Xuan before entering the imperial capital.

At the end of the reward court, the hundred officials, under the guidance of the eunuchs, came to the Cuihua Garden in Xiyuan to participate in the royal dinner.

The dishes at the dinner were a bit simple, mostly green vegetables, and very few meat dishes.

Song Xuan raised his glass and said with a smile: "Now that the new dynasty has just been established, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and the people's lives are still hard, so I have wronged you Aiqing to accompany me to endure hardships!" ”

"The ministers are afraid, and they are willing to share their worries for Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere was very harmonious, Song Xuan changed into a looser casual clothes, and said some words of encouragement, and all the newly promoted nobles continued to speak out.

After raising a glass three times and drinking with the ministers, Song Xuan chatted with Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others.

This time, Song Xuan did not talk about state affairs, but talked about the shortcomings of his parents.

For example, among these officials, who married whose sister-in-law, who secretly took a concubine, and then was chased by the original wife with a broom and ran all over the yard.

As soon as the man talked about this topic, there was no age limit, even Liu Bowen, who had always been known for his seriousness in the court, joined the topic.

Song Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile: "Don't be happy, it's you, I heard that you are afraid of your wife." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's neck stiffened, and he said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to people's nonsense, we, no, a dignified eight-foot man, how can he be afraid of his daughter-in-law?" The minister is not afraid of his wife, he is loving his daughter-in-law! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the big man Chang Yuchun, and said with a smile: "Speaking of being afraid of his wife, this is really afraid of his wife, duke, I heard that the family doesn't even dare to accept a concubine!" ”

Chang Yuchun was unconvinced: "Fart, I feel that I have treated my daughter-in-law badly, and I don't want her to be wronged again." ”

Li Shanchang glared at him and scolded: "In front of Your Majesty, don't swear!" ”

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there are not so many rules in private." ”

Seeing that Song Xuan was so easy-going, everyone suddenly let go a lot, and Liu Bowen, who has always been bold, even inquired about Song Xuan's feelings.

"Your Majesty, now that you have ascended the throne, the position of the harem can no longer be vacant, you were busy fighting before, and the ministers are not good at urging anything, if it is decided today, you can no longer shirk!"

Song Xuan was as good as a stream, and said with a smile: "What Mr. said is that the matter of the heir should indeed be put on the agenda." I just don't know what Mr. thinks, who should be the right person for the position of the master of the harem? ”

Liu Bowen was a little drunk and said: "Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied with what the minister said, you should not clean me up, right?" ”

Song Xuan laughed, "There are no monarchs and ministers at the wine table today, just say whatever you think, don't care what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence!" ”

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang glanced at each other, and then said: "The minister thinks that whether it is status, status or conduct, etc., Miss Zhou, the head of Emei, is the most suitable for the position of queen!" ”

Li Shanchang added: "Just because she was not afraid of life and death to assassinate Xu Shouhui in the midst of the army for His Majesty, it is enough to afford the position of the queen!" ”

Song Xuan nodded, then looked at the others at the wine table.

Several civil officials seemed to be extremely optimistic about Zhou Zhiruo, but on the military attaché's side, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun had no reaction, and Lan Yu and Xu Da seemed to disagree with Li Shanchang's statement.

Song Xuan looked at Xu Da and said with a smile: "If you have any ideas, just say it, and if you talk about it after today, I won't listen to it." ”

Xu Da hurriedly said: "The minister is a rough person, and he can't say any big reason, but I just think that Miss Liu, who galloped on the battlefield with Your Majesty, is even more compatible with you!" ”

Song Xuan nodded, roughly understood.

The first civil and military dispute after the founding of the Wu Dynasty actually started with who was more suitable for the queen's position.
