Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After Liu Chan officially sat on the throne of Chang'an and completed the move of the capital, the reward Ji Han had delayed for several months also began.

First of all, it was naturally the merits of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. Liu Chan forcibly added ten thousand households to the Zhuge family. At the same time, he was granted a hundred catties of gold, and his son Zhuge Zhan was made a county prince, with a settlement of 5,000 households.

At this point, Zhuge Liang's family has basically been sealed and has reached the pinnacle of ministerial status.

Zhuge Liang didn't care about these rewards, he just accepted them calmly and then stepped aside.

After Zhuge Liang awarded the reward, the next step was the reward for Ma Di, the greatest contributor to the Northern Expedition. Shang Shutai and Liu Chan had indeed been studying Ma Di's reward for a long time.

This time, Zhuge Liang submitted a letter of resignation before being awarded the reward, officially resigning as general and only retaining the position of prime minister. The highest position of military attache, which Zhuge Liang had been responsible for for thirteen years, was now vacant.

However, although the position of general was vacated, this position was temporarily assigned to Wei Yan as an explanation to the Yuan Cong faction. Ma Su's official position was promoted to General of Hussars, which was the highest military attache position after General.

At the same time, Ma Di's marquis was personally selected by Liu Chan. Ma Di was also directly promoted from the Marquis of Lueyang Township to the Marquis of Wu'an County.

Marquis of Wu'an... How representative this title is. During the Warring States Period four hundred years ago, the fiefdom of the God of Killing was also in Wu'an...

At the same time, in order to compensate for the failure to immediately grant the position of general, Ma Di was granted the title of Grand Sima, and five thousand households were granted additional titles to the city. He also received the most gold and silver awards, even surpassing Zhuge Liang in terms of honors.

Of course, in the end, the most important right to grant rewards and open a mansion was also granted to Ma Di by Liu Chan. He issued an imperial edict to Ma Su to open a government office, to coordinate with the three divisions, and to jointly supervise all internal and external military affairs with General Wei Yan.

Although that is said, the general Wei Yan did not have the power to open the government, so in essence, Ma Di was left to be responsible for all internal and external military affairs.

This reward is basically a clear sign that all military power in the Han Dynasty belongs to Ma Di. The more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country, except for the Northern and Southern Army responsible for the defense of Chang'an, the rest of the military power is under the command of the Hussar General's Mansion, as well as the general...

Of course, the court's favor for Ma Di did not stop there. After Ma Su was awarded the reward, his cronies Liu Yin, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Deng Fan, Zhang Yi and others all had their official positions soared like rockets.

Liu Yin was appointed as the general of Zhengnan, Wang Ping was appointed as the general of Zhendong, Jiang Wei was appointed as the general of Zhenbei, Shu Ji was appointed as the general of Zhengbei, Zhang Yi was appointed as general Zhenwei, and Deng Fan was appointed as the general of Pingbei...

In four battles and four towns, four of them were already Ma Su's confidants. At the same time, Zhang He, who was good friends with Ma Su, was promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry, Wu Ban was promoted to General, and even Yao Hu was promoted to the rank of Central Protector to supervise the affairs of the Northern Army.

Liu Chan gave priority to everyone in Ma Su's group, which is evident from his trust. At the same time in Yongzhou, Li Mu was granted the title of Marquis of the Countryside due to his meritorious service and entered the Shangshutai on duty.

This time can be said to be the most important reward for Ji Han since the founding of the People's Republic of China. At this moment, the military power of the Han Dynasty was basically transferred to Ma Di, and Zhuge Liang basically no longer asked about military affairs.

"This reward is really generous... This is another huge blow to my cause of seeking death." Ma Di couldn't help but sigh while accepting the reward.

Once upon a time, he was still a young man who joined the army on paper, and his purpose was so simple that he just wanted to die and go home. As a result, after many years, not only did he fail to defraud, but he rose to become the most important figure in the Han army.

He was just one step away from becoming a general.

This time, you have to be more careful when seeking death, and you can't die in a hasty battle. After all, as a hussar general, a sudden sudden death may have a negative impact on the army, even more than the Jieting defeat...

Therefore, after Ma Su was granted the title, his top priority may be to find his successor. This can ensure that if one day he really succeeds in defrauding insurance, he will have the least impact on the Han army.

It's really funny to think about abdication as soon as you take office.

While Ma Su stepped aside to think about it, the big man's rewards continued. From Jiang Wan to Fei Yi, down to the miscellaneous generals, basically all participants in the Northern Expedition were rewarded. Even those who had already conquered Zhou and others were granted a title of marquis and given some gold and silver as a reward.

At the same time, the internal political situation in Jihan changed greatly, and various factions changed. Among them, the Guanzhong clan joined the court, and its leader Du Shu was ranked as the ninth minister, and Yang Zhun succeeded Jiang Wan as the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office.

Huang Quan was granted the title of Situ, and was also granted the title of County Marquis. His son Huang Chong was granted the title of Lieutenant Marquis.

The veterans who died of illness or exhaustion during the Northern Expedition also received pensions and rewards.

In just one morning, the Han Dynasty's court had undergone earth-shaking changes. The addition of many new faces and the exit of many familiar faces caused undercurrents throughout the court.

Zhuge Liang, who was watching this scene from above, sighed slightly because of this. He probably would have been busy for a while just to reassure people.

It is worth mentioning that after moving the capital this time and granting rewards, Liu Chan issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world. However, it did not change the Yuan Dynasty, but continued to use the reign name of Jianxing.

This was the result of discussions between Zhuge Liang and other civil servants, who all believed that the Yuan should not be changed now. After all, according to superstition, the Han Dynasty wanted to prosper during the Jianxing period. What if something went wrong after the Yuan Dynasty was changed?

Although Zhuge Liang and his gang are not feudal and superstitious, they still have to be cautious in the face of such major events. Finally, after the capital was moved this time, only an exception was made for amnesty, but the Yuan Dynasty was not changed.

After completing these, the four-hour-long reward discussion was also over. Liu Chan was visibly tired, and seemed... very hungry.

"Disband the dynasty!" Liu Chan insisted on issuing an edict to disperse the dynasty, and all the officials left happily and encouraged.

After that, all the officials needed to complete the remaining moving matters, and Liu Chan also had to move the royal family into the palace.

"You Chang! Now we should call you General Wu'an Hou Hussar! Hahaha..." After the dynasty, Wu Ban immediately approached Ma Su, laughed and hugged Ma Su and said,

"Let's go! It's been a long time since we had a drink to celebrate. Bring your wine and I'll take care of the meal."

"Your real purpose is to get my liquor bar." Ma Su curled his lips, knowing full well Wu Ban's little thoughts.

Wu Ban seems to have been thinking about Liu Xuan since he got Liu Xuan drunk with strong liquor last time, and now he has found an opportunity.

"Want to drink? Take me with you!" Wei Yan also appeared at this time and said with an excited smile.

Since this guy was awarded the title of General, his grin has almost reached his ears. If Zhuge Liang hadn't warned him in advance not to say anything, he might have laughed on the spot.

This group of generals were all very happy, and each one was extremely satisfied with the rewards they received. But not everyone in the army is happy. For example, Yang Yi is very dissatisfied with this.

"Prime Minister! Why should Ma Di be allowed to open the government and take charge of the world's military power? I cannot agree with this!"
