The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

"The emperor is here!"

Suddenly, a loud shout sounded.

There were a lot of people in the main hall where they were whispering, and immediately fell silent.

Everyone quickly adjusted their posture, stood up, and all looked up.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Hu Xian, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a luxurious crown, walked out from the side, walking and stepping, with a majestic attitude, and a faint smell of iron and blood.

Lu Pingan still remembered that when he saw Hu Xian for the first time that year, his temperament as a whole was relatively refined and peaceful, while the world's evaluation of him at that time was "the mean".

But after experiencing a great war, Hu Xian's momentum has obviously become much more powerful and tough.

People's evaluation of him naturally increased with the victory of the war.

Many people believe that even in the hundreds of years of history in Cangwu Country, Hu Xian is enough to rank in the top five.

In terms of fighting against foreign enemies, his merits are second only to the founding emperor and Hu Xuanzhang, who has the legendary record of "severing the thirty-two generals of Nanyun Kingdom".

In fact, this war with Dongyu Kingdom is far more difficult and dangerous than the battle against Nanyun Kingdom, but because Hu Xian and Hu Xuanzhang played different roles in their two wars. , So the evaluation is naturally different.

In any case, Hu Xian is now the contemporary Mingjun in the minds of the people of Cangwu, with extremely high prestige.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Hu Xian sat down in the dragon chair, and everyone in the hall shouted in unison and saluted.

All civil and military officials bowed down to meet, and Lu Pingan and others were not courtiers, but at the same time cultivators, so they only had to bow their hands.

Hu Xian said: "Flat body."

And as everyone got up, it also meant that this court meeting officially began.

As Lu Pingan expected, the main content of this North Korean meeting was about the war.

Hu Xian didn't even ask the officials to report anything else, but he directly talked about the war.

He did not use too formal tones and words to describe, but from the perspective of him as a war witness and leader, he described and summarized the battle between Cangwu and Dongyu.

Hu Xian’s tone was sometimes calm, sometimes helpless, sometimes angry, excited, happy and comfortable...

Those officials who were not involved in the war heard Hu Xian's words as if they had experienced it personally, and their emotions fluctuated accordingly.

Speaking of the latter, when Hu Xian made a summary, he focused on Lu Pingan and others, saying that they have made an immortal contribution to Cangwu Nation, and the whole country should be grateful and respect them...

All in all, it was a high praise, which praised them for being extremely brave and awe-inspiring.

Moreover, Hu Xian also asked the historians to record Lu Ping's deeds in the history books for future generations to admire and make them famous for generations to come.

In addition, Hu Xian also mentioned Zhuang Qingxi and Gongsun Ying and others, calling them "unknown scholars", saying that they also made great contributions to the Cangwu country, but due to various reasons, their identities could not be announced. They can be referred to as "unknown persons", but at least people must be aware of this.

After Hu Xian finished speaking, he asked an official to read the imperial decree that had already been prepared.

The content is also about war, but the words are extremely formal, and the focus is on the practical rewards for Lu Pingan and others.

Lu Pingan has long been named the "Cangwu God of War". This was originally a title specially created by Hu Xian to commend Lu Pingan's outstanding military exploits. Moreover, he has reached the point of "God" and cannot continue to reward him.

Therefore, Hu Xian could only increase Lu Pingan's salary and various treatments from twice that of the prince to four times as much!

At the same time, Lu Songyin, the head of the Lu family, was named hereditary marquis, and the title was "Hou Wanqiu".

In fact, Lu Tianhai, who was in charge of the affairs of the Lu Family and Wanqiu City, was promoted from Wanqiu City Lord to Governor of the Northwest.

These rewards from the Lu Family can be regarded as a remedy for Lu Ping's inability to add any more officials.

It is worth mentioning that the troubles that the Lu family had encountered before were solved by Governor Qiu a long time ago, and those who wanted to murder the Lu family were also punished as they deserved.

And since today's imperial decree is promulgated, the Lu Family is a real noble family in Cangwu, and no power dares to provoke them.

Then, it was a reward to Hu Ling, Chunyu Feiqiong and others.

Hu Ling's title was changed from "Princess Taiping" to "Princess Taiping".

Although Chunyu Feiqiong and Meng Shaoyuan were not from Cangwu, they were still given the title of Duke of the Kingdom.

The same was true for Tian He, but what made Lu Ping’an and Tian He himself a little unexpected was that Tian He’s father, Tian Yan, was also named an earl. By the way, Tian Yan was the lord of Wanqiu City. At that time, there was still a lot of merit, and the cause of his death was the persecution of his brother Tian Sheng.

Although Tian He had already avenged his revenge, this incident was a shadow in his heart after all.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xian actually inquired about these things and specially named Tian Yan the knighthood, explained the cause of his death, and rectified his name.

This undoubtedly pierced Tian He's heart and moved him very much. He immediately slammed his hands and shouted, "Thank you Lord Longen!"

In addition to Lu Pingan, Guan Xiantu, Luo Yi, Xue Chengwu and others, as well as other generals and counsellors who played a certain role in the war, were all promoted and awarded rich rewards.

The monks represented by Hong Yang also received corresponding awards.

Those ordinary soldiers who are not present will be promoted and their military pay will also increase.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, they will not be forgotten. Those who have merited knighthood, even a small soldier, will be regarded as heroes, and their names will be carved on the monument of heroes, and their families will receive A large sum of money for pensions.

In short, as long as the people who have made contributions in that war are rewarded by merit, try not to treat anyone wrongly.

This is not over yet. It is mentioned in the imperial edict that taxes will be reduced and exempted to a certain extent for the people, and some criminals who have committed minor crimes will be pardoned...and so on, there are several wills that can benefit the people of Cangwu.

And this can achieve the so-called "national celebration" in a sense.

Those who were rewarded at the venue felt very honored, and everyone else felt that they deserved it.

It’s just that some people will inevitably worry that such a large-scale and generous reward will directly affect the money in the treasury, right?

But in fact, Hu Xian was discussing these matters with the ministers, how could he fail to consider this issue?

These rewards and tax reduction measures will indeed affect the wealth of the Cangwu court, but in Hu Xian’s view, now that the war has just ended, the entire Cangwu country needs to be inspired and re-energized so that it can be as soon as possible. Restore national strength.

Therefore, even if it will shake the national treasury, Hu Xian also believes that this is worthwhile and meaningful.

There are rewards and punishments. After the official read out a series of reward lists and content, he began to recite the punishments for some people.

Among them, Xue Zhengde, Zhang Boshi, and the former Wei Guo Gong Cao Liang, as well as people who are closely related to them, have helped them to do certain things.

Xue Zhengde and Zhang Boshi committed serious crimes and were immediately sentenced to beheading.

Cao Liang had helped contact Qi Zhu before, and Hu Xian had promised to save him from death, so he was only sentenced to death in prison.

The penalties for other related personnel are also quite severe. It can be said that the rewards and penalties are distinct.

Finally, all the rewards and punishments here today will be made into notices in a more simplified way and posted in various parts of the country to inform the world, so that the entire Cangwu country will know and understand these things.

It took a long time for the official to finish reading a lot of imperial edicts, which made him dry and exhausted.

After listening, everyone in the room also deeply felt Hu Xian's wise and kindness and his willingness to make Cangwu Kingdom stronger, and they couldn't help but feel more respect for him.

No one can reward Hu Xian, but what he did will be remembered in people's minds and will leave the reputation of "wise king" in history.

At this point, the most important content of today's North Korean meeting can be regarded as over.

The next thing Hu Xian will discuss with the civil and military officials is the more conventional government, and there is no difference in the peace.

Those things had nothing to do with Lu Pingan and the others, so Hu Xian let them go first.

After that, Lu Ping'an and the others returned to the side hall.

"Haha...From today, I am the Duke of the Country!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Meng Shaoyuan laughed and said.

Tian He shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Look, I'll make you happy."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Such a good thing, isn't it rare to be happy?"

Tian He said: "Although I am very grateful for your majesty's award, as a practitioner, the title given by the court is not important to me. However, I am very grateful for your majesty to chase my father. There is spirit in the sky, I should feel very happy."

Lu Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, your majesty probably knows that title does not mean much to us, so he wants to reward us with this kind of thing. I have to say that your majesty can do this for us. He is already extremely sympathetic and sincere."

Tian He said: "Yes, this kindness of your majesty will never be remembered forever. If there is anything in the Cangwu Kingdom that needs my help in the future, I will definitely help."

Guan Xiantu smiled and said: "Xiaoyou Tian, ​​you are the true biography of the head of Qimen. In the future, you may really need your help with regard to formation."

Tian He directly called out a sound transmission artifact, handed it over, and said, "No problem, just use this to contact me if you have something in the future."

But Guan Xiantu did not answer, saying: "Since you want to thank your Majesty, it is better for you to hand it over."

Tian He said: "Okay, I'll stop by and be alone with Your Majesty."
