Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

The announcement of the bestowal of honors began.

The first to be enfeoffed,

However, it was Zhang Gen, who was about to retire: He was granted the titles of Duke of Gan, Grand Tutor, Pillar of the State, and Grand Master of the Golden Purple Light.

Upon hearing these official titles, the ministers

He immediately realized that Zhang Gen was leaving the court.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to conduct large-scale distribution of rewards.

"My lord, thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhang Gen was extremely excited.

Even though I'm about to retire,

But to be alive is to receive this honor.

That's enough to bring glory to one's ancestors.

The second person to be conferred the title was Li Bao.

The merit of destroying a country

They destroyed the small court in the southeast.

He was enfeoffed as the Duke of Puyang.

The fiefdom has 1,500 households.

Eight hundred households were granted food and property.

Next is——

Zhang Guangdao, Duke of Yangchuan

The fiefdom has 1,400 households.

Seven hundred households were granted food security.

Yang Zhi, Duke of Jiyin

The fiefdom has 1,400 households.

Seven hundred households were granted food security.

Chen Ziyi, Hua Rong, and five others were ennobled as marquises.

Han Shizhong, Yao Pingzhong, and twenty-seven others were granted the title of Earl.

Nearly one hundred people were granted the titles of viscount or baron.

They did not return to Beijing.

They were all leading troops in their respective garrisons.

Chapter 341 Conferring Official Titles and Bestowing Ranks

Han Shizhong mingled among the conferment procession.

I was excited, but also a little guilty.

Because of his seniority and military achievements

Being granted the title of earl this time was really a stretch.

After careful consideration, the only option was to launch a surprise attack and capture Zhijiang County.

Participating in the standoff with the Jin army in the Gyeonggi region

They participated in the recapture of Shouyang County in Shanxi.

He was soon transferred to Shandong for military training.

Faced with the puppet troops who surrendered without a fight,

They recovered more than ten cities in a haphazard and confused manner.

Moreover, his rank was only that of a deputy general.

The only explanation,

It is His Highness the Crown Prince who values ​​it highly.

Not only that, he was also appointed as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Shanxi.

To take over the Zhe family's territory completely.

It's even much larger than the Zhe family's territory.

Han Shizhong looked up at the Xuande Gate tower.

It's too far away to see clearly.

He felt that the Crown Prince was being too kind to him.

This life would be worth selling to His Majesty.

A scholar will die for his confidant.

Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangguo, and others

He was standing in the ranks of the military officials at that moment.

They have been returning to Beijing one after another these days.

He received the appointment very quickly.

They all remained in the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Yao Gu was the first to submit.

Therefore, his official rank was also the highest.

Moreover, they wield considerable real power.

As for Liu Yanqing, Zhe Keqiu, and Liu Guangguo...

The position was neither high nor low.

The arrangement seems reasonable.

In reality, he doesn't have much real power.

They basically just stay in Beijing to retire.

Their focus was not on Han Shizhong.

Instead, it was Yang Weizhong and Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan has been granted a marquisate this time.

He had a multitude of achievements: suppressing the Huainan rebellion, training the Huainan New Army, training the Zhejiang New Army, and participating in the annihilation of Zhong Xiang.

Yang Weizhong was then granted the title of Earl.

His fiefdom was larger than Han Shizhong's.

His achievement was defending Taiyuan twice.

The once-renowned Western Army of the Song Dynasty

It is now clear that Wang Yuan is in charge.

Yao Gu, however, didn't care.

His son, Yao Pingzhong, was also granted the title of Earl this time—Yao Pingzhong's military achievements were not high.

But his subordinates were awesome.

They also counted some of his war merits in the calculation.

The current Ming army

The most powerful are the Sichuan faction.

Secondly, the Gyeonggi system,

Next up is the Shandong group.

Then comes the Western Army faction.

The Hebei faction has not yet fully developed.

Southern generals were mostly just there for show.

A title does not represent everything.

For example, Li Cheng and Zhao Li.

The former only rose to the rank of baron.

However, he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of Shandong.

Zhao Li is also a baron.

He has always served as the main player of the Den Lai team.

He was placed under the direct command of Li Bao.

The crowd kowtowed in gratitude for the reward.

Then the emperor went downstairs.

He led his civil and military officials to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth.

Zhao Yuan rode his horse slowly forward.

Countless eyes were fixed on him.

As the head coach, he achieved a great victory in Hebei.

The emperor surprisingly offered no reward.

Some even suspect a rift between the emperor and the crown prince...

Of course, there are guys who have this idea.

They are definitely not in the core power circle.

Long live the Ming Dynasty!

"Long live the Emperor!"

Among the onlookers, a scholar excitedly shouted,

The people around them also started shouting.

The accompanying troops were clad in gleaming armor.

Mighty and imposing, and with excellent military discipline.

The people naturally feel proud.

Li Hanzhang turned to look at the cheering crowd, thinking to himself:

"If only Bai Sanlang were here,"

"I met the Crown Prince in the countryside of Yangzhou that day,"

Who could have imagined such a grand occasion?

Bai Chongyan was still serving as the prefect of Hangzhou.

It is estimated that he will be promoted to Prefect of Kaifeng next year.

Chapter 342 Monster

Li Renli occasionally turned his head to look at the musketeers.

I've always felt that it was a monster.

He really wanted to steal a few muskets and bring them back to Western Xia.
