System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

The title of General of Cavalry, with a nobility of eight thousand households, this generous title was obviously sending a signal to everyone present.

The rewards that come after will not exceed this.

Such a terrifying fiefdom as the Marquis of Wanhu could never appear in this newly established country.

There are only so many farmlands in the country. If they were all sealed off, the country's finances would be in trouble.

Although Dong Yu was willing to reform, it would take some time to accumulate and solve the problems caused by so many years of chaos before he could take action.

Before this, fiscal revenue could only come mainly from land taxes.

"Li Ru, come forward and listen to the seal."

Dong Yu looked at Li Ru, the first civil servant.

"I am here."

Li Ru stepped forward and bowed.

"Li Wenyou has assisted our Dong family for two generations with all his heart and loyalty."

"Li Ru was appointed Grand Commandant, given a golden seal and purple ribbon, and granted the title of Marquis of Heyang, with a fief of 8,000 households."

Dong Yu read it aloud, causing Li Ru to tremble.

This has been his lifelong pursuit.

Li Ru was not valued in his early years, and his life took a turn for the better after he defected to Dong Zhuo.

After moving to Chang'an, Li Ru's spirit had been completely defeated.

Dong Yu suddenly appeared and led the defeated Xiliang army to regroup and fight in all directions.

"Your Majesty, I, Li Ru, bow and thank you for your grace."

Li Ru bowed and took the seal handed to him by the eunuch.

The first two people to be enthroned were both Dong Zhuo's men in the true sense.

This signal was to comfort the old people, telling them that even if Dong Yu became emperor, he would not forget their contributions.

But if we continue to appoint these people, what will happen to Dong Yu’s direct subordinates?

"Huang Zhong stepped forward to listen to the order."

Therefore, the next person to be canonized was Huang Zhong, who had the longest seniority and the most outstanding achievements when Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun and others were not present.

"Your servant Huang Zhong, awaits the title."

Huang Zhong stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

His heart was already pounding with emotion, as he knew that the reason he was able to appear so early was more because someone who had made more contributions than him was not present.

"Huang Zhong has fought with the army for many years, achieving numerous military exploits, beheading generals and capturing flags, and commanding the entire frontier. He is now appointed General of the Guards, given a golden seal and purple ribbon, and granted the title of Marquis of Biyang, along with a fief of 5,000 households."

The words of reward coming out of Dong Yu's mouth caused a little commotion among the generals.

After all, Huang Zhong was one of the earliest members. His official position was relatively high, but his fief was much lower.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Huang Zhong was a little puzzled, but this was not the time to talk about anything else.

Perhaps Dong Yu himself was the only one who did not forget one thing, that is, the Huang family had two generals, and they had given too many titles. What would they give titles to in the future?

Give him a higher official position first to appease him, especially since he is your father-in-law.

Things like merit are second only to official positions, and the main thing is titles and fiefs.

After all, Huang Zhong was not the one with the greatest contribution, so the starting point of his fiefdom would not be too high, otherwise it would be difficult to enfeoff Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong and others.

Immediately, Jia Xu, Xun You and Guo Jia stepped forward one by one.

Jia Xu was granted the title of Si Tu, Marquis of Shouxiang, and a fief of 8,000 households.

Xun You was granted the title of Shangshu Ling and Marquis of Lingshu Ting.

Guo Jia was the Minister of the Interior and Marquis of Weiyang.

The reason why Xun You and Guo Jia had low titles was because they still had to be used.

Most of the titles of civil officials were conferred posthumously, but Jia Xu was completely different from them.

Jia Xu is both civil and military, and the other party is old, so it is not easy for him to run around like them.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were given the titles of General Commanding the Army and Marquis of Jiwu, with a fief of 4,000 households, and one of them was given the title of General Guarding the Army and Marquis of Wansui Ting, and they jointly commanded the imperial guards.

The rest of the rewards will not be mentioned for now.

The enthronement ceremony lasted a whole day. The titles of those who had made greater contributions were read out at the court meeting, while those of those who were not in the capital or had made lesser contributions were announced in the form of imperial edicts.

"General Zhengxi, General Anxi, are you two satisfied with my rewards?"

Dong Yu leaned on the dragon throne and looked at Li Jue and Guo Si who were kneeling on the ground.

Dong Yu did not withhold any credit from Li Jue and Guo Si.
