"Your Majesty has arrived!" the ceremonial officer announced loudly, elegant music played, and Qin Youzhen, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, walked out of the gorgeous ceremony.

Many officials, feeling regretful that they could not see the good show, put away their expressions of spectatorship.

After performing the Shanhu dance and completing the ceremony according to etiquette, Qin Youzhen took his seat and motioned for the officials to sit down.

"Today is not a court meeting, so you don't need to be too formal." He said with a smile, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Everyone knows that this banquet is to celebrate the return of Douchuan Pass, and it is also to celebrate the heroes who took back Douchuan Pass!"

After saying this, Qin Youzhen raised his hand to signal, and the eunuch beside him immediately stood up, held up the imperial edict and read it out.

The general idea is that the recovery of Douchuan Pass this time is extremely important to Bei'an's national security, so the heroes who recovered Douchuan Pass should also receive heavy rewards.

The first meritorious king, Qin Xinglie, gave Youjun as a fiefdom and made him take charge of Douchuan Pass, as well as all kinds of gold, silver, cloth and silk. The most eye-catching thing is that Qin Youzhen gave King Li "hereditary substitution".

qualifications.

This really shocked everyone.

According to the custom, the royal family throne in Bei'an is inherited by descending the title, and only in the eighth year of the founding of the country, the favor is hereditary but not replaceable.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Xinglie is a prince. After his son succeeds, he can only be a county king. In the next two generations, he may be a duke or marquis. If there are no special circumstances, he will slowly disappear from everyone.

Become an ordinary citizen.

In fact, the Bei'an court has been secretly weakening the power of these nobles, so the Eighth Founders and Dukes are all gone now.

At this time, Qin Youzhen actually gave King Li a "hereditary" qualification, which meant that Qin Xinglie's descendants could always inherit King Li's princely title. This was a great favor.

Qin Xinglie stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Next, the imperial edict mentioned Gu Zhao again, saying that in order to regain Douchuan Pass, she faked her death and concealed her name, lurked for many years, went through hardships and dangers in Douchuan Pass, and finally successfully completed the mission, cooperated with the death-seeking army, and recaptured Douchuan Pass. Her hard work was highly rewarded.

Gu Zhao also stood up and listened to the eunuch's sharp voice announcing his reward.

In addition to the gold and silver cloth, Qin Youzhen rewarded Gu Zhao with a mansion close to the palace, the position of an earl, and appointed Gu Zhao as the commander of the He Control Division, responsible for assisting Zi He in commanding and dispatching the He Control Division personnel.

Gu Zhao's expression remained unchanged, but he understood Qin Youzhen's intention in his heart.

The Commander of the Crane Control Division is an official position that has never been achieved before.

Is Qin Youzhen trying to use himself to oust Dian Fengnian? Is he going to take her out and compete with Dian Fengnian in the ring to compete for the command of the He Control Division?

It seems that she has not been in the capital in the past few years, and the Control Bureau, as mentioned before, believes that Qin Youzhen is not a wise king, and its support for him is very limited.

Qin Youzhen probably felt that with her grandmother's shadow, her outstanding achievements, and Qin Xinglie's support, she could compete with Dian Fengnian.

Gu Zhao chuckled in his heart, how could he think that she would be on his side?

Moreover, before making such a big decision, Qin Youzhen didn't even talk to her or discuss it in advance, and wasn't afraid that he might get the wrong look?

Recalling the previous situation where Qin Youzhen had just pretended to have a chat with her, but was interrupted by the queen, Gu Zhao understood a little. At that time, Qin Youzhen probably wanted to tell her this.

Then Qin Youzhen is really unlucky.

Qin Xinglie and Gu Zhao, as the two people who contributed the most to the recapture of Douchuan Pass, were named and rewarded, and the others were not qualified to occupy the imperial edict.

After the imperial edict was read out, the two of them bowed to express their gratitude. Qin Youzhen asked them to stand up with great joy, "Uncle Nineteen and Mr. Gu are both talented people in Bei'an. I am very happy to have such a talent."

"We are holding a banquet here today to celebrate the achievements of all the heroes. Please don't be formal, just feel free to do so."

He also knew that no one could let go of his presence, so he raised his glass, drank three glasses with the officials, and then left the hall.

As soon as the emperor left, the hall immediately became lively.

People kept coming to congratulate Qin Xinglie and Gu Zhao. Although these two were not good friends, the key point was that these two were obviously very powerful and they might fall into someone else's hands in the future.

If you don't establish a good relationship in advance and wait until something goes wrong, the Buddha may not necessarily give you face.

Qin Xinglie sat on his seat and stopped all those who were toasting to Gu Zhao.

"Here, I will take care of you." He raised the wine glass. The ferocious mask covered his entire face. How could he drink?

But who dares to complain and ask Qin Xinglie to take off his mask and actually have a drink?

After the first people who came hit a wall, others learned their lesson and did not dare to come again.

Gu Zhao also got clean.

As a result, everyone had to turn their interest to other aspects, and soon some people left the lobby and walked outside.

Changyang Garden has a huge garden, a large lake, and a vast hunting ground in the distance. The scenery is magnificent and quite impressive.

Although it is only the beginning of spring, all kinds of flowers specially cultivated in the greenhouse in Changyang Garden are also displayed today. They are colorful and particularly attractive, attracting many officials to stop by and admire them.

Qin Youjin was already sitting on pins and needles in his seat.

As long as he saw the pair of figures in front of him once, he felt as if he had been severely humiliated.
