Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 377 The hero receives the title
No matter how troublesome things are in Zhongcui Palace, they are not as important as the previous affairs.

In addition, Concubine Yang was cautious and did not dare to tell anyone about her discomfort at all. She only asked Dr. Wu to take good care of her.

So after the third prince's fever subsided and his physical condition stabilized, no one paid any attention to Zhong Cuigong.

At this time, the former dynasty finally waited for the Northern Xinjiang army to return to the dynasty.

Everyone's eyes moved to the front court again.

People with meritorious deeds were awarded batches after batches of rewards, but the most important ones had to go to the Golden Palace to listen to the emperor and receive the rewards in person.

Among them are General Zhang, who succeeded Qin Guogong and took charge of the northern Xinjiang army for a period of time, as well as Yang Chengyu, Ye Yunxiao, Huo Mingxuan, and his brother Huo Mingyi, etc.

"All my dear friends, you are brave enough to kill the enemy for our people, defend our borders, and restore peace and prosperity to our country. You are my benefactor, the benefactor of the people of the world, and a righteous man of the country!"

Pei Yao made an impassioned speech, stood up from the dragon chair excitedly, walked down the jade steps in person, and helped the group headed by General Zhang up one by one.

When he walked in front of the Huo brothers, Huo Mingyi had lost an arm and was being supported by his younger brother Huo Mingxuan.

Seeing the two brothers like this, Pei Yao was moved when he thought of the Duke of Qin and his eldest son who were wrapped in horse leather.

After lifting the two of them up, he gently patted Huo Mingxuan's shoulder with a heavy heart.

After Pei Yao returned to the dragon chair, he spoke loudly.

"All the beloved ministers pacified the northern border, fought against foreign enemies, and defended the country. They were great heroes and good ministers of the Qi Dynasty. Huo Chong, the Duke of Qin, was granted the title of first-rank general to govern the country. His eldest son Huo Mingxu was granted the title of second-rank general of filial piety and was granted the title of marquis. His second son Huo Mingyi was granted the title of marquis. He was granted the title of Third-Rank General Showing Martial Arts and was given the title of Viscount. The third son Huo Mingxuan was granted the title of Second-Rank General Zhenwei and inherited the title of First-Rank Duke of Qin to lead the Northern Xinjiang Army!"

"Wu Ce General Zhang Bang is granted the title of Marquis of Yongyi."

"Yang Chengyu, the crown prince of Nanning, was granted the title of General Ningyuan and appointed as the commander and magistrate of the Kyoto Guard."

"Ye Yunxiao, granted the title of General Guangwei, is appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Front Army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion."

After some rewards, several new nobles were added to the court.

Of course, the most generous rewards belong to the two young masters who are still alive in the Duke of Qin's palace.

Not to mention that Huo Mingxuan became the Duke of Qin and led the army in northern Xinjiang. More importantly, Huo Mingyi, who failed to attack the prince and broke his arm and injured his body, Pei Yao gave him the title of viscount, which was regarded as saving him. The glory of the next three generations.

Although Huo Mingyi had meritorious service, he only fought the first battle for Da Qi. Being made a general and having a salary and food was good enough, but having a title meant that he could stand on his own and there would be no gossip outside. He said that he relied on his younger brother to make a living. Although the Huo brothers had a good relationship, it would never be like this internally, but people said it was scary.

And this was given to Huo Mingyi by Pei Yao for the sake of Qin Guogong.

The Huo brothers knew it in their hearts and became more and more loyal.

A monarch who can consider his subjects is naturally a wise monarch worthy of devotion and loyalty.

After he finished rewarding these people, Pei Yao looked at Huo Mingxuan and asked with a smile.

"I have always heard that there is a young and promising military advisor beside you. He cooperates with you in both civil and military affairs and wins many battles. Is that military advisor here today? I really want to meet him."

"Back to the emperor, I know that the emperor cherishes talents and loves talents, so I brought him with me. He is waiting outside the palace to be summoned!"

Huo Mingxuan answered immediately.

At this moment, Pei Yao didn't know that this young military advisor was Liu Qin, so when this face that was more determined and calm than before appeared in the hall, he didn't dare to recognize it for a moment.

Until I heard Liu Qin salute loudly and respectfully.

"Liu Qin, a common man, comes to see the Emperor!"

At this moment, Pei Yao finally confirmed what he was thinking and stood up in surprise.

"It's you, kid. Aren't you studying in Beijing to prepare for the exam? Why did you go to the Northern Xinjiang military camp without telling me!"

When he said these words, Huo Mingxuan immediately showed doubts on his face. Not only him, but also everyone else on the field was surprised. "What Liu Qin? Isn't your name Chen Qin? And, Your Majesty, does Your Majesty recognize him?"

"Of course I recognize it." Pei Yao had calmed down at this moment, but his eyes did not leave Liu Qin's face, "When I was still the prince, together with Concubine Zhao, we were chased and assassinated by the then King Ming. It was he who put himself in danger. He saved me and Concubine Zhao, and Concubine Zhao later recognized him as her adopted brother."

At this time, Liu Qin raised his hands to Huo Mingxuan.

"The change of name was not intentional to conceal it, but I went north to join the army secretly behind my sister's back, so I didn't dare to show my real name and identity in the army for fear of losing my sister's face and worrying her, please. General, please forgive me."

After he finished speaking, his identity was finally revealed.

The courtiers immediately started talking, looking at this budding young man with various thoughts.

But more importantly, I thought that Concubine Zhao originally had no one in the court, but now that she has a young and promising sworn brother with military exploits, she may be even more favored.

That's what Yang Chengyu thought. Standing among the crowd at this moment, his eyes towards Liu Qin became more and more unkind.

But at this time, what others think is secondary, it still depends on what Pei Yao thinks.

However, it was obvious that Pei Yao admired Liu Qin's talent and was even more amazed that Liu Qin had such talent. Coupled with his past relationship, his admiration for Liu Qin was undisguised in his eyes.

"You have such a talent and should not be buried. I see that you have gained more experience in the army and have become more calm and sharper in situations. The position of the Chief of the Dali Temple in the Ministry of Punishment is still vacant, so you took this job." Go on an errand!"

"I obey the decree and thank the Emperor for His grace!"

Liu Qin immediately knelt down to salute, and when he kowtowed, his eyes were filled with excitement.

After a year of planning, I am so happy to get such good results.

Military advisors are often dependent on military commanders and will not be granted titles alone. He can only become independent with the blessing of his identity.

Even if you become the number one scholar in the imperial examination, you will only be granted the title of fifth-rank official, which generally does not have real power. The fifth-rank prime minister of Dali Temple has real power.

With this starting point, just slowly climb up.

After awarding these meritorious ministers, Pei Yao decided to hold a celebration banquet in the palace tomorrow night, and then dismissed everyone.

And when he came down from court, he went directly to Yuzhang Palace without changing his clothes.

Regarding Liu Qin, he wanted to meet Fang Yun.

At the same time, after leaving the palace gate, Liu Qin was also invited to get on Huo Mingxuan's carriage.

Over the past year, Huo Mingxuan and Liu Qin have had several life-and-death experiences together, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship.

After the war, Liu Qin also took the initiative to confess his identity to him.

Although Huo Mingxuan was surprised, he knew Liu Qin's personality and did not blame him for hiding himself. On the contrary, the two became closer and were willing to pretend that they did not know Liu Qin's identity and speak for Liu Qin in front of Pei Yao.

Therefore, even if Pei Yao did not mention Liu Qin today, Huo Mingxuan would bring Liu Qin to Pei Yao on the pretext of introducing talents.

Huo Mingxuan knew that talents like Liu Qin should not be buried.

Therefore, when the two young people met each other, they were both happy for each other.

"You kid, aren't you afraid of embarrassing Concubine Zhao now?" Huo Mingxuan said with a smile.
Liu Qin curled his lips, "Aren't you the same? The Duke of Qin and the eldest son have spirits in heaven, and they will be proud of you."

The two looked at each other and slapped each other on the shoulders.

At that time, in the palace, Yu Hu had already stopped outside Yuzhang Palace.
