"You have worked hard to successfully complete the task of protecting the national treasure. I now announce that the Chief of the Guard, Miller, has been promoted to the rank of Deputy Commander of the Golden Feather Knight Legion, and has been awarded an Imperial Knight Medal, a bounty of 10,000 coins, an official residence, and ten maids. The leaders of his subordinates are all promoted to one level, and the bounty is 5,000 coins. The guards each had a bounty of 5,000 coins. The families of the soldiers who died were given a pension of 5,000 gold coins. Everyone will be credited with first-class merit!" "The Wujin Stone was accepted correctly, and the Holy Emperor immediately announced the reward for all the soldiers of the Golden Feather Knight Battalion!

Miller's heart was shocked, according to the official system of the Golden Feather Knight, he, the chief of the guard, could only govern one knight battalion, with a thousand people. Equivalent to a thousand-commander in an ordinary army. There are 30,000 people in the entire Golden Feather Knight Legion, and the Commander of the Metropolitan Guard is their supreme commander. Under it is the deputy commander of the Duwei, below the commander of the Duwei, there are six deputy commanders, each of whom is in charge of five thousand golden feather knights, who contain each other and supervise each other.

In other words, after completing this mission, Miller was suddenly promoted from a thousand-legion to one of the seven people at the top of the pyramid of power of the Golden Feather Knight Legion!

He also rewarded an official residence, 10,000 gold coins, ten maids-in-waiting, and the Imperial Knight Medal, which symbolized the glory of the soldiers! Even a general who won a great battle and added territory to the empire was only rewarded with that, right?

Most importantly, these brothers under his command were also greatly rewarded, those who should be promoted, and those who should be rich. The collective first-class merit made their battalion infinitely beautiful in the entire Golden Feather Knight Legion, and no one would dare to underestimate them in the future.

Miller couldn't help but glance at Song Li, and when he saw the encouragement and approval in Lord Song's eyes, the iron man's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Although they didn't say it, the Golden Feather Knights, including Miller, knew in their hearts that if it weren't for Lord Song's repeated efforts to turn the tide and sacrifice their lives to save each other, they would have become a pool of blood in the yellow sand, where could they still have the glory at this moment?

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor Longen, long live, long live, long live!" the golden-feathered knights knelt down again, and the mountain shouted thanks. Although the person who thanked him in his mouth was the Holy Emperor, everyone knew in their hearts that the person who should be thanked the most was actually Lord Song, the governor of the Nine Counties.

"Arise, Miller, and take your knights back to the camp, and I grant you a fteen-day sabbatical rest and recuperation. Continue to serve the Empire thereafter!"

"Yes! Miller went away with his camp of knights of the Golden Feather, to the thunderous applause of the people.

Three carts carrying the black gold stone were also pulled away, and in the end, there was only one cart left, which was guarded by the dozen or so Ouchi masters.

"Song Aiqing, what's on that big car?" Song Xingtian was slightly curious.

"Your Majesty, you are a very important person. I can't say much here. Song Li glanced at Prince Zhong playfully, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Prince Zhong was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that although Song Qiuhan's trip failed, he didn't leave any handle. If it weren't for the people on our side, what did Song Li's kid mean by looking at me?

Not only Prince Zhong was puzzled, but the Holy Emperor and others were also puzzled. It seems that the so-called human prisoners in the car should be very important, otherwise Song Li would not have paid so much attention to it.

The Holy Emperor glanced majestically at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, go to the court with me." ”

Seeing that there was no more excitement to see, the people dispersed. Of course, the matter did not end with their departure, and everyone could have thought that there would be more exciting dramas above the court, but it was not for these ordinary people to participate in. For example, if the Golden Feather Knights who were their retinue were all rewarded so heavily, wouldn't Song Li, who was the leader, have even more credit?

In any case, Song Li once again became a topic of conversation among the people of the imperial capital.

The Hall of Parliament, commonly known as the Golden Palace, is not far from the Arc de Triomphe. The group soon returned to the Golden Temple and took their seats according to their seats.

The Holy Emperor glanced at the ministers, his gaze resting on Song Li's face, who was calm. In fact, he also had a little trouble in his heart, Tian Wujin is very important to the Holy Lion Empire, with these Wujin stones, a large number of powerful weapons can be created, and the Holy Lion Empire will further expand its advantages over the rest of the countries on the continent in terms of the advanced nature of weapons. And judging from the number of acceptances, the number of meteorites obtained this time is at least five times that of the last one!

Although on the bright side, it seems that the credit for getting the Ugin Stone is not as good as the siege of the city, it is a strategic victory. This kind of strategic victory may not be clear in the short term, but it is of great significance for the improvement of the Empire's armed forces and the maintenance of military deterrence against hostile countries. So Song Li's credit this time is really great.

The difficulty of the Holy Emperor is that Song Li has made great contributions, but he doesn't know how to reward them.

If you want to be promoted, Song Li's official has already done enough, the governor of the nine counties, in charge of the lion king's order, patrolling the world on behalf of the Holy Emperor, how can he rise again? If he is promoted again, it will be his turn to govern the Holy Emperor.

Let's talk about rewards, Song Li himself is a high-level alchemist, and the wealth of this profession is known to the whole continent. To put it bluntly, people are not bad at all. Officials can't be promoted, and people who reward money may not be able to look at it, what should I do?

"Song Aiqing, you have made a great contribution this time, you can talk about it, how do you want me to reward you?" said the Holy Emperor with a smile. His mood is indeed very good, Song Li gave him a big face, which is equivalent to slapping Prince Zhong and others with a big mouth. Didn't you say that I favored Song Li, and that it was unreasonable to make him such a big official? Didn't you say that Song Li was incapable?

As soon as the Holy Emperor's words fell, the ministers began to talk with a "hum".

From ancient times to the present, how to reward a meritorious courtier is the final word of the saint, he said that if you have merit, you will have merit, and he said that if you have no merit, you will work in vain. He promised you a high-ranking official, and if he gave you half a copper, you would have to pretend to be grateful. This is the charm of imperial power. However, the Holy Emperor openly asked the opinions of meritorious ministers on the Golden Palace, which was the first time in the Holy Lion Empire.

What does this mean? It means that the Holy Emperor attaches great importance to Song Li, and he already has the qualifications to bargain above the Golden Palace.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a few stones. Song Li said with a smile: "I don't have any requirements, if His Majesty the Holy Emperor is willing, just give me a few black gold stones." The minister happened to lack a magic weapon in his hand, and he heard that the black gold stone was a good material for making magic weapons, so he had the courage to ask His Majesty the Holy Emperor for a few pieces. ”

"Presumptuous!" Prince Zhong couldn't sit still, stood up with a sigh, and said righteously: "The Wujin Stone is the most important treasure of the country, and since it has been collected into the treasury, it belongs to the state. How can you give it to a courtier casually?"

The prince has always been a prominent figure in the court, and from beginning to end of this incident, he was like a spectator, helplessly watching the performances of the Holy Emperor and Song Li. I was about to bleed internally, and I was worried that I couldn't find a chance to vent, and I was finally caught by him.

"Prince Zhong's words are wrong, although the black gold stone is an important treasure of the country, but His Majesty the Holy Emperor is the master of the empire, and he has every right to dispose of these black gold stones. Which law of the empire stipulates that the national treasures of the treasury cannot be given to courtiers?"

Prince Zhong was speechless for a while, Wen Liren was right, the Holy Emperor is the master of the empire, that is, the master of the Ugin Stone, and the master of the family has not spoken, what qualifications does he have as a subordinate to meddle in things?

King Kangjun stood up at the right time, and argued without humility or arrogance: "Wujin stone is a rough stone that can refine Tianwujin, as we all know, Tianwujin is the best material for making weapons, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a weapon of the country, since it is a weapon of the country, it naturally cannot be owned by private individuals." What if someone has the wrong intentions to make weapons out of Celestial Ugin in vain to the detriment of the Empire? Who can guarantee that this will not happen?"

King Kangjun's words were heart-wrenching, and his hat was buttoned a little too big. The people of the Ming Wangfu all secretly scolded: Obviously, you want to be unfavorable to the empire, but you are actually shouting to catch the thief here!

Although he knew it in his heart, King Kangjun's words were unassailable. The reason why Celestial Ugin is so valued by the Empire is because it is an excellent material for crafting weapons. Even if it is not a weapon of the state, it is also a material for making the weapon of the country, and something like this is indeed not suitable for personal possession.

Song Li glanced at Prince Zhong and King Kangjun, and said lightly: "King Kangjun's words are suspected of scolding Huai. If I want to be detrimental to the Empire, I can completely get these Ugin Stones away halfway, and who can stop me? As you all saw just now, all the Ugin Stones were handed over in their entirety, which was enough to prove Song Li's loyalty to the Empire. (http：／/.)。 ”

"Besides, I just asked His Majesty the Holy Emperor for a few pieces to build a magic weapon, and I didn't say that I would let His Majesty give me half of it, where did so many threats come from? I know, you are envious, jealous and hateful because you see me so beautiful, right? I knew that now, when His Majesty called on everyone to envoy to Qiongzhou, why did you all be like turtles with shrunken heads, burying your heads and not saying a word?"

"Now that someone Song has brought back the Wujin stone, you think there is something to be done in this. What's the matter? Isn't it that if I give you all the black gold stones, no one will talk about them?"

The ministers were dumbfounded, no matter what, Song Li was still a half-old child. Only he can say things like "You are envious, jealous and hateful to me" in front of others.

If it is a mature politician, most of them will not do this, because it will give people a childish feeling, but Song Li is a teenager, it is normal for him to be naïve, what can you say about him?
