"Minister Liangzhou Taishou Guo Yan see Your Majesty's ......"

In the main hall of the palace, Guo Yan led a group of victorious subordinates to make a pilgrimage to Sun Ning and officially reported to him.

After a pause, he followed up and said: "Fortunately, thanks to the protection of Your Majesty, there are subordinate soldiers and soldiers, and the three armies are killed. The minister's attack on the rebellious Lianzhou Liu clan was finally a success, and he came to report the victory and sacrifice the prisoners! ”

Immediately, he bowed down again, and the civil and military officials behind him also bowed down in unison.

At least on the surface, these courtiers still have a lot of respect for Sun Ning, the king of the dead country.

Sun Ning was also smiling all over his face, and when he saw this, he got up quickly, came to Guo Yan in a few steps, and personally bent down to help him up: "Guo Qing, please get up quickly, all of you Aiqing, you are all free of courtesy!"

"You are all meritorious servants of the society, so you don't need to make such a big gift.

"To tell you the truth, after learning about the good news from the front, I ...... I was also deeply surprised, and I was very happy and excited about this great victory!

"You are all the great heroes of my Dayue court, only by your side can my Dayue regain its prosperity, and I, the emperor, can also revitalize the dynasty!"

Guo Yan was completely loyal at this time: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, and the ministers really can't afford such praise." But there is one thing that the ministers agree, the ministers will assist Your Majesty, recast the glory of my great past days, kill and drive away those rebellious ministers and thieves, foreign robbers, and return my rivers and mountains! ”

As he spoke, the other officials followed suit, expressing their loyalty to Sun Ning in the most heroic words.

Sun Ning also bowed his head again, and it was really a harmonious scene of gentlemen and ministers.

It wasn't until these scenes were finished that Sun Ning returned to sit down, and asked Guo Yan and them to sit down separately, and said sincerely: "Guo Qing has made such a great contribution to the court this time, and I deserve a heavy reward." And the generals and soldiers and horses under your command can't be wronged.

"I've thought about it, now that the capital has fallen for a long time, I'm afraid that the previous officials in the court and the central government have been more auspicious...... In that case, then the imperial court should be re-established. Not to mention, military and political affairs still have to be handed over to an old and loyal person like Guo Qing.

"In this way, with the help of this rebellion, you can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant of the court, and you can be in charge of the soldiers and horses of the court: and, and you will be appointed as the governor of Huailuo, the governor of the two Huai and the military and political affairs of Gyeonggi, I hope you don't shirk it.

"As for the appointment of other subordinate officials, you know them better than I do, so it's up to you to decide. When I go to the Times and the palace, I will give permission. ”

When Guo Yan heard such a famous and tangible reward, his eyes also flashed, and his heart felt even more happy.

The official position of the Taiwei has existed since ancient times, and it is the real military leader of the imperial court, and with this position in his body, it will be too convenient to send troops to recruit in the future.

And he can also use this official position to order all forces in the Central Plains to annex Liangzhou. If there are those who refuse to comply, they can also use this as an excuse to send troops to fight, and truly coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

As for the official position of the governor of Huailuo, it is even more of a real monopoly of power.

Huai is two Huai, Luo refers to the land of Gyeonggi, which includes half of the Central Plains, and even exceeds the area under the jurisdiction of ordinary governors.

In the past, although Dayue also began to add the post of governor in various places due to changes in the current situation, it could only govern one province, which was only one level higher than the original governor.

But this Governor of Huailuo has promoted his power again, which also means that Guo Yan's status has been greatly improved.

This is exactly the purpose of him taking Sun Ning to Liangzhou to raise him, and only if he is famous can he be real.

However, the humility that should be done still has to be done, Guo Yan quickly got up and excused himself: "Your Majesty is very loving, and the minister is really afraid." Such a generous reward, the minister is ashamed to be ashamed. ”

"Guo Qing's words are wrong, if the situation is turbulent today, the situation is unstable, how many people can I trust and use as an emperor? Only loyal ministers like you can share my worries and contribute to the revival of my Dayue court.

"I hope that Guo Qing, you, and all the Aiqing will focus on national affairs and the overall situation, and don't make any more excuses. I and I will cross the country, and we will all rely on you! ”

While speaking, Sun Ning got up even more sincerely, and solemnly bent down and bowed his hand.

This action made everyone dare not sit anymore, and they all got up, hurriedly returned the salute, and said that they did not dare.

Guo Yan arched deeply to the ground: "Since Your Majesty said so, how dare the minister make another excuse?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love and reuse, and I will do my best in the future to rejuvenate my Dayue Imperial Court, and then die!"

"Well said, with your words, I will be relieved!"

Sun Ning was also full of joy, stepped forward again, and straightened him up: "By the way, as for the rewards of the soldiers below, they will all be handed over to Guo Qing." I don't think you will let them down. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will arrange the rewards properly."

Guo Yan said, and changed the conversation again: "Your Majesty, this crusade against Lianzhou, as well as soldiers and horses from Yuanzhou, Zezhou and other five places came to respond to the aid.

"Those state officials are also interested in coming to Liangzhou to meet Your Majesty in the near future, and I hope that Your Majesty can also reward them, so that loyal ministers from other parts of the world can come to vote as soon as possible!"

Sun Ning glanced at the other party, and was a little surprised by the rapid expansion of Guo Yan's power.

This time, he not only took Lianzhou, opened up the road to Huaibei in the south, but also subdued the officials of the five states in one fell swoop. Even if the strength of these places is far from being comparable with Liangzhou, an important city in the Central Plains, or even inferior to Lianzhou and Nanyang, it is enough to double its strength and its prestige is growing rapidly.

But at this time, Sun Ning could only cooperate, so he smiled and nodded: "Quasi-play!" They are also meritorious people, and I not only want to meet them, but also reward them well, so that all the officials in the world who are loyal to my Dayue court can understand my determination. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers will make arrangements next and invite them to come to the court."

Guo Yan was overjoyed, the emperor was really surprisingly cooperative today, even if many things would boost his prestige and arrogance, he actually allowed them one by one.

Perhaps this is the credit for winning Lianzhou in this battle!

At this moment, Guo Yan felt that the strategy he had been setting all along was completely correct, so next, he had to continue to play the banner of the emperor and crusade against the surrounding cities!

This thought passed in his heart, and he quickly returned to the present, and said: "Your Majesty, now that the rebel minister Liu Chuanzhi has been captured and brought back by the minister, and he is waiting outside for His Majesty to summon him." Would Your Majesty be willing to see him, or will you just pull people out to be punished? ”

He said that he wanted to sacrifice Yanagawa directly in front of the emperor, and he had to do what he said!
