The night passed quickly.
Early in the morning.
Lin 'an was like a machine that had been regulated by law and began to operate in an orderly manner.
All the courtiers in the city, big and small, sat in their own carriages and rushed to Duancheng Hall to attend court.
As everyone arrived one after another, they discussed what would happen in the court today.
The most important thing was how much the government would reward Yue Fei for recovering Bianliang!
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
Footsteps came from afar.
Yue Fei's tall and straight figure entered everyone's eyes.
In fact, everyone had been officials with Yue Fei for several years. Logically speaking, they should be familiar with each other.
However, for some reason, everyone felt that there was something different about Yue Fei today.
However, they couldn't tell exactly what was different. In short, they felt that Yue Fei's temperament seemed to have changed.
At this moment, a eunuch walked out of the room. When he saw Yue Fei, he smiled and greeted him. Then, he looked at the crowd and said loudly,"Xuan! All ministers, enter the court!"
"Yes, sir!"
The group of ministers did not bother to look at Yue Fei. After agreeing, they took off their various swords and shoes and entered Duancheng Hall. They were arranged according to various official positions.
Yue Fei slowly walked to Han Shizhong's side. This side was filled with the generals and the warmongers of the Great Song.
He had always been standing here.
"Peng Ju!"
Han Shizhong stroked his white beard and said cheerfully,""I knew you wanted to rest yesterday, so I couldn't disturb you at night. I haven't congratulated you yet! Recovering Bianliang is the common dream of all our generals. I didn't expect you to accomplish it!”
"You're too polite!"
Yue Fei saw that there was still some time before the court session, so he said to Han Shizhong,""Pengju only did what he should have done!”
"Peng Ju!"
Han Shizhong didn't say anything. They were all martial artists, so there was no need to be polite with scholars. He said softly,""Don't worry, you won't be able to escape the credit. We will definitely fight for you. The position of High General is yours!”
"Thank you, Privy Council!"
Yue Fei nodded slightly to express his gratitude!
At this moment, Zhao Gou had already sat down.
Seeing this, Han Shizhong didn't say anything else.
At this moment, the eunuch next to Zhao Gou shouted,""Ministers, if you have something to report, then leave the court!”
Han Shizhong was the first to step forward and shouted,""Your Highness, I have something to report!"
"What's the matter, Minister Han?" Zhao Gou asked in a deep voice.”
"Your Highness!"
Han Shizhong looked at Yue Fei and said loudly,""Yue Fei recovered Bianliang some time ago and captured Wanyan Wushu. This is a great event for our dynasty. I hope Your Highness can reward him!”
"I've already discussed this matter with Prime Minister Qin yesterday!" Zhao Gou said with a smile.”
Then he looked at Qin Hui and said,"Prime Minister, you shall announce this matter!"”
"Yes, sir!"
After Qin Hui agreed loudly, he stepped out and turned to look at the crowd."Yue Fei recaptured Bianliang in the eleventh year of Shaoxing and captured the Fourth Prince of the Jin Kingdom. Yue Fei was promoted to General and Xiangyang Jiedushi. He was also granted the title of Prince and was named Xiangyang! And give him the privilege of opening a residence!"
"Boom!"
After Qin Hui finished speaking, the entire imperial court exploded like boiling oil meeting water.
All the ministers who didn't know about this matter were discussing animatedly. Even Han Shizhong, who had asked for Yue Fei's merit, was stunned on the spot and looked at Qin Hui in a daze.
However, he had experienced a lot of things and immediately realized that Xiangyang was not a good place at all!
Furthermore, Zhao Gou was praising Yue Fei to death!
One had to know that it had been a long time since the Song Dynasty had a king. Although a county king was the lowest among the kings, he was still a king!
This time, Yue Fei was conferred the title of king and even promoted to the position of general. It would definitely make many people jealous!
As expected, when he turned around, he saw the dissatisfied expressions of many ministers. Not to mention the civil officials who advocated peace, even the military generals who advocated war revealed unconvinced expressions.
"Your Highness, isn't this reward too much?”Han Shizhong said with a straight face. As he spoke, he glanced at Yue Fei, hoping that Yue Fei would understand his painstaking efforts.
"Yue Fei, I wonder if you will accept the reward!”
Zhao Gou ignored Han Shizhong's words and looked at Yue Fei.
To be honest, Yue Fei was also a little stunned.
Before he went to court, he had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought that Zhao Gou would confer him the title of King!
Could it be that Zhao Gou had changed?
However, even though thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, Yue Fei still calmly walked out of the formation and said,""Your Highness, this subject!"
"Yue Fei, this Regional King has conditions!”
When Zhao Gou saw Yue Fei step out to accept, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. He thought to himself,"You're so capable, but you're still greedy for power!”
However, on the surface, he interrupted Yue Fei's words calmly,""Since you have been conferred the title of King and promoted to Xiangyang Provincial Governor, then you will have to build your own Jin army! I wonder if you can accept it!"
Hearing Zhao Gou's words, everyone understood!
So Zhao Gou had been promoted in the open and demoted in secret. The so-called title of King and General sounded nice, but if the court did not give you money, what was the use?!
