Chapter 1163 Reward (Part 2)

The reactions of the people in the hall fell into Huangfu Chaobo's eyes one by one. A few years ago, Huangfu Chaobo had pretended to be 13 in front of Lu Zhi, and finally made Lu Zhi's two sons really join his army.

Although I want to be a marquis, I only hope that the sea waves will be calm!

Thinking about it now, Huangfu Chaobo felt that he was panicking.

Everyone wants to climb up, Huangfu Chaobo is like this, and so are the people in the hall. They joined Huangfu Chaobo, isn't it just to win a title of marquis and be appointed as a prime minister, glorifying their ancestors?

Otherwise, how could there be the saying "being a marquis and being appointed as a prime minister"?

Otherwise, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's "Kings, princes, generals, and prime ministers, who are all of a kind!" would be echoed by so many people?

Otherwise, why would there be the helplessness of "Feng Tang is easy to grow old, Li Guang is hard to be a marquis"?

As for whether there are really people in the world who are indifferent to fame and fortune, Huangfu Chaobo knows that there must be some, but there are too few such people. Let alone one in ten thousand, there is probably not one in a hundred thousand or a million. Now, everyone present should be an ordinary person, even the calmest Tian Feng is no exception. The bright color that just flashed across his eyes was still noticed by Huangfu Chaobo, although it was fast.

Seeing the eunuch on duty come out again, everyone in the hall cast their eyes on Huang Zhong, the leader of the military generals, thinking that Huang Zhong should be the next one.

"The king has ordered that the prime minister Tian Feng come forward to receive the reward!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and Tian Feng was also stunned. He didn't expect that he would be the first powerful official to be awarded besides the five old ministers. Tian Feng knew that his king had several considerations for the reward of the first five people. One of them was to appease them. You know, whether it is the Grand Herald or the Grand Master of the Imperial Household, they are not important official positions. Even Zhu Jun's Taiwei is probably just a show. The real power is still in the hands of a few people.

However, he quickly reacted, calmed down, walked quickly to the hall, bowed and replied: "I am here!"

"On November 15th, the third year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian issued an edict: Tian Feng, the prime minister of the Tang State, is a man of outstanding talent and great power and strategy... Now he is recommended by the Tang King Huangfu Chaobo, and he is specially granted the title of Guanting Hou and 200 households to show his merits... I decree this!"

After hearing this, Tian Feng hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed to thank the emperor: "I, Kong Rong, thank the emperor for the reward, thank the king for the reward!"

For Huangfu Chaobo, Tian Feng was grateful from the bottom of his heart. Although he used some bad means to frame himself from Jizhou to Luoyang, he had always trusted and valued him. Tian Feng, who came to Luoyang to work, was many times better than when he was in Jizhou. Therefore, Tian Feng has always been dedicated and conscientious to handle every government matter for Huangfu Chaobo.

Now that he was appointed as the head of the civil officials, Tian Feng was even more grateful, but Tian Feng never thought that he would be the first to be rewarded except for the five veterans.

After Tian Feng, General Pingdong Huang Zhong was granted the title of Dongwu Tinghou, with a fief of 200 households; General Pingbei Zhao Yun was granted the title of Xiguan Tinghou, with a good fief of 200 households; General Wuwei Dian Wei was granted the title of Hua Tinghou, with a fief of 200 households; Lou Gui was granted the title of Changmen Tinghou, with a fief of 200 households; Zao Ji was granted the title of Yangguan Tinghou, with a fief of 200 households; General Du Liao Chen Jing was granted the title of Guannei Hou, with a fief of 100 households; General Zuojun Zhang An was granted the title of Guannei Hou, with a fief of 100 households.

Five Xianghou, six Tinghou and two Guannei Hou, these thirteen titles were awarded, making all the officials of the Tang State in the hall red-eyed. There were about 400 Han, but only a few hundred marquises were awarded. It can be seen how difficult it is to get a title reward, especially when the world is peaceful, there are very few officials and generals who can be awarded titles.

At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu conferred titles on 18 marquises at one time, known as the 18 marquises of the early Han Dynasty. Then, with the rest of the awards, there were only dozens of people in total. It became even more difficult to be conferred titles later. For example, Li Guang, a famous flying general in history, experienced the three dynasties of Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han, fought more than 70 battles with the Huns, but never became a marquis until his death.

According to records, except for the royal family and relatives, the number of people who were conferred titles in these three dynasties was 10 during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, 18 during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, and 75 during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, totaling 103 people.

From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to be conferred titles.

Now the world is in turmoil, and when Huangfu Chaobo was conferred the title of king, there were 13 people conferred titles this time alone. Among them, except for the five people including Zhu Jun, there were eight others who were conferred titles. These people are the best examples for officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty. How can this not make a group of officials and generals envious?

Among these eight people, there are three civil officials and five military generals. Except for Tian Feng and Zhao Yun, the other six are all loyal ministers who followed Huangfu Chaobo from humble beginnings. Tian Feng and Zhao Yun both joined after Huangfu Chaobo entered Luoyang, which gave hope to those who came later.

In fact, among the eight people who were rewarded, Chen Jing and Zhang An, Huangfu Chaobo did have the intention to compensate them, because their abilities were really limited. This time, he was able to make them marquises while he was being crowned king, but their titles should only stop at Guannei Marquis. In the future, the most they could do was to add another one or two hundred households to their fiefdoms. As for the three Dugu brothers, even if Huangfu Chaobo wanted to give them a title, because the military merits of the three were really too low, Huangfu Chaobo only considered compensating them in other ways. As for Hu Yandu, if his military merits could be accumulated later, he might be able to meet the conditions for being crowned marquises.

"My dear friends, this time I took the opportunity of being granted the title of king. I specifically asked the emperor of Chang'an to grant the title of marquis to these thirteen important ministers. The emperor valued it and none of them rejected it. This is a lucky coincidence. The world is in turmoil today. A lot of fame and honors are waiting for you, and I ask you to work together to bring peace to Xiaoxiao and bring peace to the world."

"A few years ago, before the Lu family collapsed from illness, I once said a sentence: It is not my intention to be a prince, but I only hope that the sea will be peaceful. Today I use this sentence to win you over: It is my intention to be a prince, but I only hope that the world will be peaceful. . If you can restore the world to a peaceful world, why would you want to be a marquis?"

When everyone in the palace heard this, their faces turned red with excitement, and they all came out to prostrate themselves and said: "We are willing to follow the king and bring peace to Xiaoxiao, in exchange for peace in the world, peace in the country and peace in the country, and a bright future for the world!"

"Okay, let us, the monarch and his ministers, work together to quell Xiaoxiao in exchange for peace in the world and peace for the country and the people!" Huangfu Chaobo stood up and said loudly;

"I will obey the king's orders! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Everyone responded in unison;
