Chapter 646
Yuan Heng's ten-year New Year's Eve banquet was extremely lively.

The first part of the official start of the banquet is to reward meritorious deeds.

The first imperial decree was for Fourteen, but she did not need to receive the decree, because the decree was actually read to the officials.

Zuo Qiuyue gave Shisi and herself the right to attend and participate in politics together, and made her the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World, and was in charge of 300 million soldiers in the Seventeenth Dao of the Dali Dynasty.

Even though preparations were made, when the contents of the imperial decree were read out, the courtiers still couldn't speak.

This is handing over all the military affairs of the world to the queen... How is it different from giving her half the throne?

In the past, when Zuoqiu Yue's grandfather wanted to let the empress come to court, he was firmly opposed by civil and military officials.

But now, Zuo Qiuyue issued a decree to hand over the world's soldiers and horses to Fourteen, and let her go to court to participate in politics together, but no one in the court came out to speak.

In this era of men in power, dissatisfied people naturally account for the vast majority.But even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to make any remarks.

One is because today's imperial power is unprecedentedly strong, the ruler is strong and the ministers are weak, they have no confidence to compete with the monarch;
Secondly, even without the emperor's support, this empress is not someone they can offend.In her hands, the territory of the Dali Dynasty has doubled in size.This kind of thing appeared in dreams before, and they would think it was outrageous.And she made it in just two years.

The old generation of generals withered away, and the new famous generals all came from her subordinates.Even if she wasn't the queen, who could compete with her for the position of Marshal of the Army and Horses in this world?

There was no sound in the hall, it was Xiao Yan who took up the wine bottle first, and congratulated: "I wish my father and mother, join hands with the mountains and rivers, to create a prosperous world."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, join hands with the mountains and rivers to create a prosperous world."

"Thank you dears."

Zuo Qiuyue and Fourteen toasted together and drank with all the officials.

……

Xiao Yan was granted the title of King of Henan and the land of Henan Road.

Mei Zhixue, Princess of Henan Province, is in charge of the medical treatment of the whole country.

After these two imperial decrees came down, everyone was puzzled for a while.The imperial hospital is used by the royal family. As the person in charge of the imperial hospital, how can the imperial physician be in charge of the national medical treatment?
And Xiao Yan's King of Henan, do you want him to go to Henan Road?

Or is it just to receive the title of King of Henan, and people will continue to stay in Shendu to participate in politics.

Doubts turned into doubts, and the hearts of everyone finally settled down smoothly—it was just the king of Henan, not the prince.

Xiao Yan's surname is Xiao, and everyone in the world knows that he does not have Zuoqiu's blood in him.Even if he has brilliant military exploits and awe-inspiring talent, it is not orthodox, it is an insurmountable gap.

And with His Majesty's love for him today, it is definitely not impossible to make him the crown prince.If it really stands, what should we do?
The officials couldn't help saying in their hearts: Even if we were crushed to death in the court hall, it seems that we can't shake His Majesty and Queen.

Then again, they can't really die for it.

Neither agree nor disagree.In such a dilemma, if you can come later, try to be as late as possible.Avoiding things that you don't want to face is the best policy.

……

Next, a group of people who made military exploits on the battlefield received the rewards one by one.

Lan Ze was granted the title of Marquis of Ningbei, with two thousand households in the city. At the same time, he led the commander of Tule Daodu and took charge of Tule Dao's military.

Ma Liangyue was granted the title of Marquis of Xinde, Mrs. Ningguo, with a thousand households in Shiyi.

Ma Decao was granted the title of Marquis of Rongde, the wife of Guoguo, with a thousand households in Shiyi.

Xiang Mai was granted the title of Marquis of Chunjun, and there were [-] households in the food town.

……

More than a dozen imperial edicts were issued one after another, and all the courtiers in the hall had only one sentence in mind: Lord Marquis walks everywhere, and everyone has real power.

Then they wondered: What are the official positions of the commander and transfer envoy?Never heard of it before.

However, they could clearly hear the respective duties of these two official positions, one is in charge of the soldiers, and the other is in charge of money—is this dividing the authority of the Jiedushi into two?
……

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" Everyone took the decree to thank you.

"Your honor is free."

"Thank you Queen."

Standing up from the ground with the imperial decree in both hands, I felt that my whole body was erratic, as if in a dream.

Feng Hou, he actually became a Marquis?

Coming back from a near-death battle in the northern border, Xie Sheng felt that his official career in this life would come to an end if he could join a general soldier.On the battlefield in the south, he went for a walk in front of Yan Luo Palace again, but he didn't die, but he was sealed as a marquis when he came back.

"Old Xiao, I feel like I'm dreaming." When walking to the seat, Xie Sheng couldn't help but said to Xiao Ruming beside him, "I'm a rough old man, and I've become a Marquis."

"This is a reward from His Majesty and Your Majesty, and you deserve it." Xiao Ruming turned around and sat down on his seat, which was next to Xie Sheng, and continued, "If you survive a catastrophe, there will be a successor." Fu. Old Xie, your luck is yet to come."

Xie Sheng heard some other meanings, he turned his head, and his face showed surprise: "Is it because my wife has settled down?"

Xiao Ruming smiled lightly and said, "I'll talk about it later when I get back."

The returning general sat on one side, while the officials on the other side got up to congratulate him.The whole hall was full of cups and cups, mixed with hearty laughter, or elegant or straightforward congratulations, it was very lively.

And among these young generals who hold the military power and are honored and favored, there are many who have not yet married.Looking at them in high spirits, the courtiers who had daughters to marry naturally moved their minds.

To catch a son-in-law at the bottom of the list can at most catch a good new imperial examination candidate, but the ones in the Tai Chi Palace are all good marriages that are unique in a million.

Xie Sheng, who was nearly forty years old, was watched by everyone, not to mention Qin Liuyun and Qi Lecheng who were in their youth.

These few people were surrounded by a bunch of people, including the ministers of the court and the ministers' families.Qi Lecheng frequently shot Xiao Yan asking for help, but the latter was chatting with Mei Zhixue and didn't receive it at all.

He looked at Gu Lin again... He made Song Guo angry again, and he was careful to apologize.This guy has learned to be smart in two years, and every time he makes the pinecone unhappy, he immediately lowers himself and becomes a small one.She is glib, glib, and acts like no one else around, so shameless.

"Marquis of Wu'an."

Another person came over with a wine glass, it was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Qi Lecheng immediately toasted with each other. "

"I heard that the Marquis of Wu'an is very good at Cuju. It just so happens that my family will hold a Cuju competition tomorrow. I wonder if Marquis of Wu'an will reward me?"

Qi Lecheng: Who will save me?
Qi Xian and Tong Yang, who had hid in a corner early in the morning, were drinking wine and chatting in isolation.

"Ah Cheng is surrounded, why don't you go to help him?"

"There's nothing I can do to help." Qi Xian glanced back, "Don't underestimate these civil servants, they can drink better than the men in the barracks. I'm afraid too."

"What are you afraid of?" Tong Yang took a sip of the wine, and because he was extremely relaxed, his eyes were a little blurred and he was smiling.

"Knowingly asking?"

"Hahahaha. Don't be afraid, even if you pass by, nothing will happen to them."

Qi Xian paused his pouring hand and glanced at him.

That's right, people in the imperial court are smarter than monkeys, so they should have known it a long time ago.
