The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2117 Award Ceremony
"This award..."

Wen Tianxiang laughed and said loudly: "A total of 85 honor recipients. Eight generalissimos, 16 upper commanders, 36 major commanders, 120 six middle commanders, and 890 nine minor commanders. The participants 620 three people. Next, I will read out the list of the eight marshals, in no particular order."

"Wen Tianxiang, give the Grand Marshal."

"Shi Kaiji, give it to Grand Marshal."

"Huang Hua, confer the Grand Marshal."

"Yue Peng, confer the Grand Marshal."

"Liu Hongyi, give the Grand Marshal."

"Liu Zhuwen, confer Grand Marshal."

"Zhang Jue, give it to Grand Marshal."

"Zhong Jian, give the Grand Marshal."

Among the eight people, the only one who was a little unexpected was Zhong Jian, who was now the official deputy military commander.

Of the first seven, Wen Tianxiang needless to say, the other five are military marshals and veterans of the Great Song Army.Over the years, he has had a very high prestige in the army.

It can be said that it is reasonable for them to be able to award the Grand Marshal, and it is expected by everyone.

As for Zhang Jue, he is also a general of the Great Song Dynasty. Although he has retired now, no one can erase the great contributions he made to the Great Song Dynasty before his retirement.

At the beginning, he and Wen Tianxiang were called the two heroes of the Song Dynasty, and his prestige in the army was almost comparable to that of Wen Tianxiang. If he were not awarded the Grand Marshal, it would be unjustifiable.

Only Zhong Jian, who was born in the imperial examination, was young and had very little qualifications in the army.

Although it is said that he served in the Ministry of War, and his performance as the deputy commander of the army is also remarkable, but compared with the previous seven people, this Generalissimo Xun is really a bit watery.

It's just that this matter has already been spread, so there is no discussion in the lobby.

The emperor wants to promote Zhong Jian and cultivate Zhong Jian's prestige in the army!
As for the reason why the emperor did this, most people can't figure it out, and dare not think about it.All I know is that although Wen Tianxiang, the military commander, is still a few years away from retiring, he must be replaced by someone.

In the past, the most likely successors were none other than Yue Peng and Su Quandang.Su Shuai is dead now, but as to whether Yue Shuai will take over the post of military aircraft order, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

How much Zhao Dongting valued Zhong Jian was known by everyone in the court.

First, it is tempered in six parts, and then it is directly given important tasks.Counting officials in the DPRK and China, who else has such treatment?
However, it is well known that Zhong Jian is capable. No matter what position he is in, he is remarkable. Everyone is convinced of this point.

The seven generals except Wen Tianxiang all came to the stage.

Awarded by Zhao Dongting himself.

There are bright red certificates of honor, golden Marshal Medals, and the National Defense Medal, which symbolizes the highest honor of the Song Dynasty.Zhao Dongting personally pinned these medals to Wen Tianxiang and others.

The dark blue Grand Marshal's costume, with the embellishments of these medals, looks so majestic and solemn.

Then there are 16 people in command.

Zhao Da, Wen Qi, Liu Zijun, Zheng Yihang, Ren Wei, Zhao Hu, Gao Xing, etc. are ranked second only to Yue Peng and others in terms of status and prestige in the army. The 16 veterans around Zhao Dongting are on the list.

They are all leaders at the level of the president and even the deputy commander.

Not every deputy commander has been awarded the Commander's Honor, but there is no objection to this.

Their official rank is indeed higher than that of Zhao Da and others, but they were able to become deputy commanders in the first place because Zhao Da and others are all commanders and cannot be easily transferred.

It can be said that most of the deputy commanders of the military regions are not as good as Zhao Da and others.

Of course, a veteran like Miao Cheng, now serving as the marshal of the Tubo sub-military region, is also at the rank of deputy commander, but his military achievements among the deputy commanders are quite outstanding, and it is no accident that he was awarded the Commander's Honor.

Then there is the commander-in-chief Xun, which includes the remaining generals at the commander-in-chief level and deputy commander-in-chief level.Nothing was left out.

The names of the presidents of the Tiangang Army and the Disha Army are all on it, as well as the deputy commanders of the military regions.

At this time, it seems that the list is so compact.There are many people who are actually qualified to be included, but there are only so many places, so they can only be selected from the front.

And then to the level of the vice president and the commander in chief, and those who performed very well at the governor's level were awarded the Central Commander's Honor.

Most of the general level, and those who perform well below, are the minor commanders.

Each name can be said to be thunderous in the army.

Every time a batch of honors is awarded, there will be thunderous applause in the lobby.

After the awarding ceremony was over, and it was more than two hours later, the generals in the hall still looked excited and uplifted.

Rao was a little dissatisfied with his honors before, but now looking at the medals hanging on his chest, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

This will be famous in history, and even after he passes away, his descendants will always be proud of him.

Guangzong Yaozu, Fuyin's descendants, that's all.

"I... am proud of all of you. You are all capable people and heroes of our Great Song Dynasty. It is because of you that the Great Song Dynasty is what it is today. But in my heart, I actually want to award medals to many people. Those of us who have made great contributions in the Song Dynasty, but, but I have no such opportunity."

Following Zhao Dongting's words, the lobby that was bustling just now suddenly fell silent again.

Everyone knows who the emperor is talking about.

It is those who have paid their lives for Da Song in these years.

The most thunderous name is of course Su Quandang.

Names and faces come to mind.In the lobby, someone suddenly showed shame.

yes……

Su Shuai and the others made so much contribution, but they were not able to participate in such an award. How could they, who are still alive, care about what honor they were awarded?
