Chang 'an, Taiji Palace.
Emperor Li Yuan wore a magnificent crown and sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the civil and military officials in the hall.
In the dignified court, the civil and military officials were all arguing endlessly.
"Your Majesty, Chu Xiu of Youzhou is like Han Xin, the Divine Soldier, and the Marquis Champion. He has made great contributions in the past three years.”
"He has roamed the steppe for tens of thousands of li and is invincible, strengthening the might of our Great Tang. Now, he is suppressing the north of the Great Wall and preventing the Western Turks from harming us.”
"This subject believes that such meritorious service far surpasses that of the Marquis Champion of Wolf Juxu, and should be rewarded.”
Chu Xiu raised the prestige of the country and suppressed the barbarians in the four directions.
It was an honor for the officials of the imperial court.
The country is strong and the people are rich.
As the rulers, they especially hoped that the court would be stable so that they could enjoy their power.
Thus, the first to ask for merit for Chu Xiu was not a general, but Li Yuan's trusted aide.
Hearing Pei Ji's righteous words, Xiao Yu also said seriously,"Your Majesty, I agree!"
"That Chu Xiu is valiant and invincible, and he is willing to silently guard the border and perform such astonishing feats. Our Great Tang must reward him heavily. We cannot let his heart go cold!”
After he finished speaking, Pei Ju, Dou Wei, Feng Deyi, and the others also stood out to support his suggestion.
The civil officials had already asked for merit from the generals, so how could the generals of the Great Tang not advance?
Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, Qin Shubao, and the others stepped out together to claim credit for Chu Xiu.
This was the first time in history that all the civil and military officials in the court had agreed.
This was the general trend, and naturally no one objected.
Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King of Qin Li Shimin could not possibly offend such a glorious Divine General. Thus, they also agreed with the officials of the Imperial Court and asked for merit for Chu Xiu.
Li Yuan was both happy and worried.
Chu Xiu made a great contribution to the world and naturally deserved a heavy reward.
However, his informants told him that this person was simply untamed and had no respect for the imperial court.
In addition, he had the authority to cover the sky in Youzhou.
What this meant was self-evident.
The entire Youzhou only knew of Chu Xiu, not the emperor.
Now, he had already made great contributions, and with the loyalty of 100,000 soldiers under him.
How could Li Yuan be at ease?
Li Yuan had his own concerns. He was afraid that raising a tiger would bring disaster upon himself!
But now, he had no choice but to do so because everyone in the world was waiting to see his reaction. He could not afford to offend Chu Xiu at this time.
"Men, draft the decree!"
"Chu Xiu of Youzhou first formed an array in the north, guarding the boundless Great Wall. Then, he destroyed the Western Turks in the steppe, spreading his might across the land and the barbarians.”
"This merit is monstrous and greater than the country.”
" Therefore, I hereby confer upon her the title of Marquis of the Great Wall and the title of First Rank General of the Flying Cavalry. She has the authority to open a residence and set up a tooth. She will be given ten thousand households, a salary of three thousand taels of gold, ten treasures, and three hundred beautiful maidservants. I respectfully accept this."
At the end of the speech, all the officials congratulated him.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Congratulations to the Great Tang! Congratulations to the Marquis of the Great Wall!"
In the Great Tang, there was only one first-rank general, and that was the Heavenly Strategy General of Li Shimin.
The hussars general was only a rank 1 general.
But this time, in order to reward Chu Xiu, since he couldn't be easily conferred the title of King, he could only compensate him from other places.
Therefore, Li Yuan had specially upgraded the General of Flying Cavalry by one rank.
Before Chu Xiu, the General of Flying Cavalry and the Marquis Champion had both referred to one person, and that was Huo Qubing of the Sealed Wolf Juxu.
Since then, these two positions had been vacant. No one had the right to sit in these positions under his light.
Virtue does not match the position, must suffer its sin!
The predecessors were too strong, and the descendants could only look up to their glory, so they could not stand shoulder to shoulder.
Lord Wu 'an, Rentu-Bai Qi.
The Overlord of West Chu, Xiang Yu.
Marquis Champion-Huo Qubing.
The White-robed War God, Chen Qingzhi.
Heavenly King Wu Dao-Ran Min.
These people's titles were unique and difficult to surpass.
That was why there were nicknames such as little tyrant and the god of slaughter.
Of course, those who were able to obtain these titles were all outstanding people of the current era.
But Chu Xiu was different.
His martial strength had already reached a level that the Overlord of West Chu could not reach, and the people he killed would gradually surpass the Lord of Wu 'an, Baiqi. Huo Qubing was the Wolf Conqueror, but he had directly destroyed the country and shocked the world.
Therefore, Chu Xiu was completely worthy of the position that others didn't deserve.
Chu Xiu should even enjoy a higher status.
This was also the reason why no one in the court had any objections to Li Yuan's reward.
Chu Xiu had the qualifications.
If Chu Xiu didn't receive a generous reward.
What qualifications did they have to be rewarded higher than Chu Xiu in the future?
It was for himself and to befriend Chu Xiu.
Everyone expressed that it was meaningless.
The news of the Great Tang Imperial Court spread like wildfire across the nine provinces of China.
All the people in the world cried tears of joy when they heard this. They looked up at the sky and shouted,"Congratulations to the Great Tang, congratulations to the Marquis of the Great Wall.”
"Long live the Great Tang! The Marquis of the Great Wall is invincible!”
On this day, the world was celebrating and pardoning the world.
