The due rewards were also given to them during the court meeting.

The two important generals, Zhengxi and Anxi, and the marquis with a fief of 5,000 households were enough to make everyone understand one thing: these two guys were saved.

"I, your Majesty, am ashamed of your kindness."

"Your Majesty, I have come to bid you farewell."

Li Jue and Guo Si were filled with extreme ashamed. After receiving the title, they spent the entire day in shame.

"Oh?"

"Generals, do you think I am mean and ungrateful?"

Dong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

"I feel ashamed towards Your Majesty and the Emperor..."

"I regret my decision."

The two grown men crying made Dong Yu feel annoyed.

"Alright, alright."

"I know what you want to do."

"I understand that you are afraid of death, and I also understand that you judge others by your own standards."

"My father risked his life to protect me, so you are kind enough to show some decency."

"I can pretend this incident never happened, but it is indeed inappropriate for you to continue serving as officials in the court. Return to your fiefdom."

"As long as you behave honestly and do your duty, glory and wealth will come to you."

Dong Yu interrupted impatiently and started to give a warning.

He can pretend that nothing happened, but the prince won't.

The prince is young and can forget many things.

But if they continue to wander upwards, it will only remind the prince all the time.

Even though Liu Mu was hidden, she was destined not to become the queen.

The mother cannot become the queen. Even if the son knows the hidden truth, who can guarantee that he will not have resentment?

This can be considered as the last protection Dong Yu gave them.

After all, thinking of the past affection, I couldn't bear to force them to death.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

"I will defend my fiefdom to the death and will never take a single step out of it."

At this point, this is the best outcome for them, and they naturally will not refuse.

The purpose of joining the army and fighting was to be granted titles and appointed as generals. Dong Yu gave these to them, and they naturally felt relieved after accepting them.

The position of general above the Four Expeditions is not something they can covet. It is not something that can be secured by simply having a lot of military achievements. One needs a strong backing.

It can be said that for these two people who started out as peasants, having a fief of 5,000 households had already reached the pinnacle of their lives, and no matter how much merit they achieved, it would be difficult for them to make any progress.

"Let's go."

Dong Yu waved his hand.

"My lord, please retire."

The two stood up and left the imperial study feeling relieved.

As soon as he walked out of the palace, Li Jue couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, your life is saved."

"You will be blessed in the future. I suggest you don't be too greedy. Give more to the people in your hometown. It will benefit you in the future."

"With the Emperor and His Majesty here, at least we won't be in any danger."

"As for the Crown Prince... never mind him, he'll live one day at a time."

Li Jue looked at Guo Si, patted his shoulder and said.

"Okay, take care of yourself too."

"Is this a happy ending for us?"

Guo Si nodded and smiled.

"roll!"

"I'm still alive."

Li Jue's face turned black and he cursed angrily.

"Hey hey... let's go."

Guo Si smiled innocently.

The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times.

From the moment Dong Yu ascended the throne, he had to cut off all so-called feelings.

Liu Mu naturally could not become the queen. The Xiliang Army understood this, the Jizhou Army understood this, and everyone understood this.

How could Dong Yu, who has been in power for many years and has long lost his youthfulness, not understand?

Since she couldn't become the queen, she might as well take advantage of this opportunity to solve some inconvenient problems.

Li Jue and Guo Si were just chickens used to scare the monkeys.

First, it is to make everyone understand the changes in their identities today.

He is not only a lord, but also an emperor.

It is very important to remind people of identity changes, because there will always be some people who are stupid and cannot adapt without being reminded.

Second, it is to facilitate the smooth recovery of military power.

He conveyed a signal through Li Jue and Guo Si, two senior generals with high prestige and military achievements.

Senior generals like Li Jue and Guo Si can be easily dismissed, and you should do the same. Don't try to challenge the majesty of an emperor.
