Chapter 79
Xu Jin and others temporarily camped outside Liangyu City. The news that the battle of Xinze severely damaged Jingguo quickly spread throughout the Chen Kingdom in the next two days, making the people of the entire Chen Kingdom feel shocked.
With a start, I seemed to see a glimmer of hope of turning defeat into victory.
During these two days, Xu Jin stayed in the camp every day and practiced by himself most of the time. Because there were many people outside the city, the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers could not conduct exercises that were too noisy, so they also practiced in the camp.
Practice mana.
In the past two days, Chen Guo's court was also quickly counting the meritorious officials in the battle of Xinze and preparing to reward them based on their merits.
Facing the pressure from Jing Guo, Chen Guo urgently needed a victory. He also needed to give some rewards after this victory to encourage those who fought to defend his country.
In the Palace of the King of Chen, a new day of court meeting began. A group of officials from the Chen Kingdom came to the Yuhua Palace to participate in the court meeting. The main purpose of today's court meeting was to completely determine the rewards for the meritorious ministers.
In fact, for the vast majority of meritorious ministers, how to reward them has been agreed upon in the past two days. There are only a small number of people whose circumstances are slightly more special, and it is difficult to deal with their rewards. This includes Xu Jin.
Waiting for a group of blood owl Taoist soldiers, including Chen Zhe and others.
"For the meritorious officials in the First Battle of Xinze, today we must completely determine their rewards. The rewards for most of the meritorious officials have been discussed. Let's discuss how to reward the remaining ones!" Chen Shougao!
Sitting at the top of the main hall, he said to the ministers of Chen State in front of him.
After hearing his words, everyone present looked at each other, but no one spoke first. After all, the remaining people were in more difficult situations, otherwise they wouldn't have been left at the end.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Chen Shou glanced around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Xing and spoke to him.
"Wu Xing, you were the previous leader of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers. Now you have recommended the new leader. What do you think of the rewards for the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers?"
Hearing Chen Shou's question, everyone present looked at Wu Xing. Under everyone's gaze, Wu Xing took two steps forward, saluted Chen Shou, and then spoke.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that we should use the method of cultivating Taoist soldiers to further enhance the strength of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers and reward them for their achievements. Now there are only more than 80 Blood Owl Taoist soldiers left, and the required spiritual materials are actually not enough.
A lot, if we plan it properly, we should be able to squeeze out this part of the spiritual material."
As soon as Wu Xing finished speaking, a minister stood up and saluted Chen Shou and said.
"I think it is inappropriate. There are only more than 80 Blood Owl Dao soldiers left. Such a small number will not play any role in the battle between the two countries. Instead of squeezing out this part of spiritual materials, it is better to make some other
Rewards, such as land and property, should be enough!"
"No, if the blood owl Taoist soldiers are only rewarded with some land and property for their merits, then the rewards for the meritorious ministers over there in Ueno may be a bit heavy. If it is not adjusted, it will inevitably be suspected of being unfair. But if it is adjusted,
It goes against the original intention of this reward. I think what General Wu Xing just said is more appropriate!" The minister who stood up to object had just finished speaking, and then another minister came out and said.
Seeing someone refute him, the minister who just refuted Wu Xing turned his head, glanced at the speaker, and then continued to speak.
"The contribution of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers lies in their participation in the Battle of Xinze. It seems that the credit is quite great, but in reality, upon closer inspection, it is just that they coincided with the meeting and cooperated with the Crown Prince Chen Zhe to complete some preparations. They may not be able to compete with Ueno.
Comparing all the masters, there is no doubt that the rewards are unfair."
"Besides, at this time of national crisis, of course we must spend our energy in the right places. The remaining eighty or so Blood Owl Taoist soldiers are too weak. Even after they are upgraded, they will not be of much use. To them,
They should be able to understand that there are some shortcomings in the reward. At worst, they can just wait until Chen Guo’s crisis is resolved and then make some compensation!”
After the minister finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Zhe in front of the right side of the hall. Seeing that there was no reaction from the other party, he quickly looked away.
Everyone else in the hall fell silent. Another minister who had previously refuted him wanted to say something else, but he noticed that Chen Shou, who was sitting above, had an expression on his face that seemed to be moving, so he did not speak again.
Seeing this, Wu Xing in the crowd couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. He had already spoken for Xu Jin and others, but it seemed that this opportunity was more difficult to obtain than he had expected. Looking at the current situation, he estimated that
There is no way to help Xu Jin get this opportunity.
As the hall became quiet, Chen Shou seemed to have made a decision in his heart. Just when he was about to speak to confirm the reward for the Blood Owl Taoist Soldiers, Chen Zhe, who was standing in the front right of the hall, suddenly spoke.
"I think that the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers did a great job in the battle of Xinze. If we only reward some land and property, I suggest that we reward the land of Liangyu!"
Chen Zhe suddenly spoke at this time, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to him again. Especially after hearing his words, the expressions on everyone's faces changed. Chen Zhe was originally going to tell the rewards for the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers.
Shou, his brows furrowed slightly.
You must know that the land around Liangyu has been divided up long ago. Wherever there is any excess, it can be used to reward others, let alone a group of Taoist soldiers.
The minister who spoke before hurriedly spoke again: "Your Majesty, the land around Liangyu has long been idle, so we still choose...!"
As soon as the words came out, the minister who spoke noticed that Chen Shou was looking at him with a somewhat unkind look, so his voice became lower and lower. In the end, he only said half of the words before he closed his mouth angrily and retreated into the crowd.
The hall fell silent again, and everyone was waiting for Chen Shou to speak. After about ten breaths, Chen Shou's voice finally rang out.
"The crown prince, Chen Zhe, devoted himself to his duties and did his best when he was the governor of Xinze. When the country was in crisis, he used a strategy to severely damage the army of Jingguo and boost the morale of Chenguo. Together with the talisman of the divine law, he bestowed three plants of earth dragon grass to bring earth energy.
One yuan pill, two earth energy crystals, and some other spiritual spiritual materials. I entered the Liangyu virtual realm to practice three times and was promoted from Xinze Lingshou to Xing Guoyin!"
As soon as Chen Shou finished speaking, the eyes of all the ministers fell on Chen Zhe again, because when Chen Shou opened his mouth, he did not confirm the reward for the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers, but said the reward for Chen Zhe.
The intensity of this reward is actually not low, and the value of what is given is quite high. It is definitely enough to make all the ministers present covetous, and the official position he will be promoted to is relatively high.
But the problem lies in this official position. Xing Guoyin is an official position responsible for dealing with neighboring countries. Simply put, he is a diplomat who needs to frequently travel to other countries. As the prince, Chen Zhe got such a
Does an official position mean that Chen Zhe, the crown prince, has no chance of inheriting the position of head of the country?
"Thank you, father for the reward!"
Facing the gaze of everyone, Chen Zhe acted very indifferently, showing no emotion at all. He bowed to Chen Shou and thanked him, but when he said the words "father and king", he spoke with a slight pronunciation.
A little heavier.
Chen Shou looked at Chen Zhe, who was acting indifferently, and looked away from him. Then he glanced at Wu Xing in the crowd, and then spoke again.
"The Blood Owl Taoist soldiers fought bravely and made many military exploits. Although there are only more than 80 people left now, they have a good reputation in Jingguo. According to General Wu's wishes, some of the spiritual materials were removed and used against the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers.
The training and promotion of Xiao Dao soldiers will be used as a reward. General Wu will be responsible for the specific matters and complete this matter as soon as possible!"
"The last general takes command!"
When Wu Xing heard this, he immediately bowed and replied. At the same time, he was also happy for Xu Jin and the others. He originally thought that he could not win the opportunity, but when Chen Zhe opened his mouth, he got it for Xu Jin and the others.
With the examples of Blood Owl Dao Bing and Chen Zhe, other people whose rewards are more difficult to determine will also specify the specific reward contents. After the court meeting is over, these contents will be included in the official documents.
Delivered to all parts of Chen State.
After Chen Shou announced the end of the court meeting, a group of Chen State ministers walked out of the Yuhua Palace and then left the palace. Chen Zhe, who had stayed in the palace for two days, finally walked out of the palace with everyone.
About half an hour later, Xu Jin, who was in the camp outside the city, received the good news that he and others had received rewards. Just as he expected, they did get the opportunity to be further cultivated and promoted this time.
"Early tomorrow morning at the latest, the official documents from the imperial court will be delivered to you. The person responsible for helping you improve your strength is your former military commander Wu Xing. Military commander Xu can adjust his state in the past few days and prepare to accept the Taoist art of war again.
nourish!"
Tian Yu stood in front of Xu Jin and said to Xu Jin with a smile, but although he smiled, there was a trace of worry on his face.
Xu Jin noticed the worry on his face, so he asked: "I just got some good news here. Judging from your expression, Tian Shuyin, it seems that there is still bad news that you haven't told me. Why don't you
Let’s say it together!”
Hearing Xu Jin's words, Tian Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then sighed and said.
"Hey! There is indeed bad news, but it has nothing to do with Commander Xu. Lord Ling Shou is still too tough-tempered. As a result, he made some mistakes in what he said at the court meeting, which made the king unhappy and pushed Lord Ling Shou to the throne.
Regarding the position of Xing Guoyin, given the current situation in Chen State and your status as an lord, this official position is really hot!"
When Xu Jin heard what Tian Yu said, he instantly realized that the other party was not complaining to him, but was conveying to him in a subtle way Chen Zhe's help to himself and other blood owl Taoist soldiers, so that he could remember this favor.
