Zhang Tian shook his head: "I'm not interested."

"In the future, don't come to me for matters related to sacrifices and ghosts and gods. I don't preside over ceremonies, nor do I burn incense and kneel down to worship."

Everyone was not surprised by what Zhang Tian said.

A person who can command the King of Hell and the heavenly generals, I don't know what kind of status he has.

Asking them to worship ghosts and gods is equivalent to asking the prime minister, the minister and other court officials to kowtow to those small officials of the eighth and ninth ranks.

Prime Minister Cai said: "Mr. Zhang misunderstood."

"Letting you take the position of Heavenly Master is not to ask you to deal with these miscellaneous matters, but to lead the world's religions."

Zhang Tian said: "Then I'm not interested either. It's very troublesome to manage these things."

These days, the emperor, the prime minister, the minister and others thought about it and felt that the highest position that could be canonized was "Heavenly Master".

Letting Zhang Tian lead the world's religions is more in line with Zhang Tian's "identity".

Unfortunately, the identity they saw was an illusion.

Zhang Tian had no interest in the "leader of the martial arts world" in this religion.

As for gold and silver, if Zhang Tian had given them away when he was still in Xiangyang, they would have been useful.

Now that he had come to Lin'an Prefecture, Zhang Tian had given the emperor a dragon ball and a gold and silver mine. Giving him gold and silver again would have been a bit of a slap in the face.

Seeing that he did not want the position of "Heavenly Master", the emperor and Prime Minister Cai and others were really in a dilemma.

Finally, Emperor Anyou said, "Since Master Zhang does not like such mundane things, let's just give it up."

"However, Master Zhang has made great contributions to our Nan'an Dynasty, and I have nothing to repay him. Now I can only present a token to help Master Zhang walk in the world with some convenience."

As he said this, he waved his hand slightly.

Zhuo Ping came forward with a token on a tray and presented it to Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian took it and looked at it curiously.

It felt heavy in the hand, and the color was dark gold. It should be made of gold, copper, etc.

On one side is a golden dragon, and on the other side are the words "Anyou".

Zhuo Ping explained in a low voice: "Sir, this is the emperor's personal token. Seeing the token is like seeing the emperor."

Zhang Tian smiled slightly. This should be the "As if I am here in person" token mentioned in TV dramas in later generations.

Except that he cannot mobilize the army, it is almost like seeing an official one level higher.

Once it is taken out, everyone who sees it has to kowtow.

However, Zhang Tian still has some disdain and said: "Emperor, this thing is too heavy. It is inconvenient for me to carry it."

"Uh..."

Everyone was speechless.

They thought that Zhang Tian might refuse, but they never expected that it would be for this reason.

Disliking the emperor's personal token is heavy, this reason has been unique since ancient times.

However, Zhang Tian said the truth.

Since the advent of smartphones in later generations, many people are unwilling to bring even wallets when they go out. Generally, they go out with mobile phones and keys.

As the integration of technology becomes higher and higher, it gradually becomes only smart bracelets when going out.

Electronic certificates are stored in the bracelet, wallets are replaced by electronic payments, and there is a smart door lock to open the door.

Zhang Tian really doesn't like to carry such a heavy thing suddenly.

If he doesn't carry it with him and has to run back home to find it, who can he find instead of a token?

Xu Wen had to persuade him in a low voice: "Master, walking in the mortal world, you can't avoid dealing with some monsters and ghosts. It will be much more convenient to have this token."

"After all, it is the emperor's intention, Master, please accept it."

"Master, if you think it's troublesome to carry it, I am willing to do it for you every time you go out."

Emperor Anyou and a group of ministers looked at Zhang Tian with almost pleading eyes, fearing that Zhang Tian would not accept it.

Not accepting it means that Zhang Tian has no ties with the Nan'an Dynasty and may leave at any time.

At that time, not only will all officials be punished by the emperor, but the Nan'an Dynasty will also lose a great helper.

Zhang Tian had no choice but to say, "In that case, thank you, Emperor."

He took the token and handed it to Xu Wen for safekeeping.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. I would be uneasy if I did not reward you for your merit. I would like to thank you for solving a difficult problem for me."

Seeing Zhang Tian accept it, Emperor Anyou was delighted.

It would be best if Zhang Tian could use it more and owe some favors to the Nan'an Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be difficult to ask him for help in the future.

Only the envoy of Tianjin Kingdom was slightly disappointed.

The closer Zhang Tian's connection with the Nan'an Dynasty was, the more he would be opposed to the Tianjin Kingdom. In the long run, it would be very bad.

Zhang Tian, ​​who had made the greatest contribution, was barely "rewarded".

Next, it was about the rewards for other people in Xiangyang City.

First, the reward for General Guo.

In addition to the usual rewards of gold and silver, the most important reward was to order him to lead the two cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Xiangyang and Fancheng are a whole in terms of strategic defense. If Fancheng is lost, Xiangyang will sooner or later be lost.

Originally, the court had someone else guard Fancheng in order to check and balance.

Now General Guo's rank remains unchanged, but his authorityBut it got bigger.

It can be said that this most important national gate was entirely guarded by General Guo.

This was the highest level of trust that the Nan'an Dynasty had in military generals.

Next, it was the rewards for Niu Er, Tie Nan and other soldiers.

As the leader of the 500 warriors, Niu Er was finally promoted from a lieutenant to a general, an eighth-rank officer.

Niu Er suddenly grinned, unable to suppress his smile, and knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!"

Tie Nan was promoted to the position of lieutenant.

The other soldiers who were not present were rewarded, and they were just waiting for the imperial edict to be sent to Xiangyang City.

Finally, Zhuo Ping took out an imperial edict and sang it in Gao Chang: "The 500 warriors in Xiangyang City are so brave and brave that they have enhanced the prestige of our country. I order them to form an independent army and give them the name Wu Bai! This is the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Niu Er and Tie Nan knelt down together to express their gratitude.

Only Zhang Tian had a faint smile on his face. The name sounded so familiar.

The envoys of the Tianjin Kingdom watched the whole process of the reward.

Emperor Anyou and the ministers did not let him leave. It was obvious that they intended to convey the message to the court of Tianjin Kingdom through his eyes.

Wait until the reward is completed.

Zhuo Ping led Zhang Tian to sit on a soft chair beside him. It seemed that there was something important to discuss.

Xu Wen, who was standing, bent down and asked in a low voice: "Master, is there any particularity in the name of Wubai? I saw that Master smiled when he heard this name."

Zhang Tian smiled and said: "Nothing, this name sounds vicissitudes, and it must be very interesting to sing it."

"Uh..." Xu Wen, Niu Er, Tie Nan and others were puzzled.

This jump is too big. The five hundred warriors were just established not long ago, and there were not many casualties. It has nothing to do with vicissitudes.

As for the singing, did the Master (Shangxian) hint that they should sing military songs?

At this time, the atmosphere in the court changed.

Shi Shangshu stepped out and said solemnly: "Wanyan Envoy, there were two major battles outside Xiangyang City. Your Tianjin Kingdom was defeated and General Nianhan also fell into the hands of our dynasty."

"The emperor of our dynasty wants to inform the emperor of your country to change the Nan'an Dynasty to An Dynasty to correct the name of the country."

"Do you have any objections?"

The envoy Wanyan Jin said calmly: "Shi Shangshu, in the battle of Kaifeng, your court retreated to Lin'an Prefecture."

"Take the initiative to write a letter and use Nan'an as the name of the country, implying that it is in a remote corner and no longer in the north. "

"And he called himself the nephew of the emperor of Tianjin, which earned our country's promise not to go south again."

"Now that we have not obtained the land of Kaifeng, nor have we marched to Zhongdu, it may not be enough to change the country's status by fighting outside Xiangyang."

Shi Shangshu pretended to be angry: "Now that the immortal has come down to earth and entered our dynasty, do you dare to disobey the immortal?"

In order to suppress the envoy's momentum, Shi Shangshu did not care about the taboos of scholars and said "immortal".

The messenger bowed to Zhang Tian, ​​indicating that the following words might be disrespectful to Zhang Tian: "Although there are immortals in your Nan'an Dynasty, there is a misunderstanding between our Tianjin Kingdom and the immortal."

"In the first battle, the soldiers shot arrows at the immortal, which was disrespectful."

"In the second battle, Nianhan wanted to drag away the immortal boat, which was disrespectful."

"It caused the immortal to be angry and punish him, which led to the defeat. It was not your Nan'an Dynasty's power."

"My Tianjin Kingdom will apologize to the immortal, but it is not a reason for your Nan'an Dynasty to change the name of the country."

Shi Shangshu was furious: "Your country's generals are still serving as dragon slaves in Shanglin Garden."

"Humph!" The messenger was not willing to be outdone, "When Kaifeng City was broken, many high-ranking officials and nobles of the Nan'an Dynasty were still farming in Ningguta."

"You..." Shi Shangshu was speechless when he was touched.

Prime Minister Cai stepped out and said, "Mr. Zhang's disciple is a scholar from our Nan'an Dynasty, and Mr. Zhang's sister is also from the Nan'an Dynasty."

"Do you think that the disciples and sisters of immortals are inferior to you Tianjin people?"
