At that moment, everyone in Yangxin Palace Hall turned their attention to Wei Jin.
He had exterminated the remnants of the Great Tang and captured Li Youcang alive. In this era of peace and stability, there was no greater merit than this.
If he was the one who contributed the most in this matter, the reward would probably be extremely generous.
At their position, they did not lack anything like gold, silver, or jewelry.
What they wanted more was that they could still move their buttocks.
As for Wei Jin, he was already a ninth-grade Grandmaster martial artist. One step further and he would be a Martial Saint!
And Martial Saint was also his lifelong wish!
If he wanted to become a Martial Saint, he would need an endless supply of cultivation resources.
Unless the entire country's strength was used, it was impossible for him to advance to the Martial Saint Realm.
Wei Jin knew very well that if he wanted to become a Martial Saint, he could not do without the help of the Dafeng Imperial Family.
However, if he wanted the royal family of Dafeng to do their best to help him advance to the Martial Saint Realm, it would all depend on Ji Xuan's will. This required a lot of courage.
In Da Feng, other than him, there were four other people who were also seeking to make a great contribution in order to obtain a large amount of resources from Ji Xuan.
They were the four commanders of the Northern Garrison!
"Your Majesty, this servant believes that the Third Princess should be the one to take the credit for clearing out the remnants of the Great Tang!”
Wei Jin said respectfully.
"Oh? Renzi?"
"How do you explain this?" Ji Xuan raised his brows in confusion.”
Even Ji Renzi was stunned.
He was clearly the one who had been kidnapped by the remnants of the Great Tang.
Why was it that in the end, he was the one who took the credit?
Wei Jin smiled and said,"Your Majesty, if it wasn't for the Third Princess using herself as bait, she wouldn't have attracted everyone's attention."”
"To be honest, the remnants of the Great Tang have been hiding in the mountains for so many years, but they were captured in one fell swoop.”
However, if it wasn't for the Third Princess, we wouldn't have taken this matter seriously. Therefore, if we really want to talk about it, the Third Princess deserves the most credit.”
As Wei Jin's voice fell, the others all stood up.
"The Third Princess deserves the credit!" Everyone replied in unison.”
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up. These people were all crafty and cunning, and they knew the ways of officialdom well.
In order to show the brutality of the battlefield, these guys deliberately wore the tattered clothes after the battle to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
They wanted to indirectly tell the Emperor that they had risked their lives in this battle and even lost a thousand-man Kong Yan.
However, this matter was too big, and none of them dared to be greedy.
If they blamed the Third Princess, Ji Renzi, for the first credit, then they should reward their own family.
However, they were different. Although they did not take the lead, they had contributed a lot.
Your emperor can't let people work for you for nothing, right?
This way, everyone was happy.
Su Ming sighed in his heart. He had really gained some knowledge. These people really had no hair on their heads.
"Renzi, what reward do you want?" Ji Xuan's face lit up with joy.”
Ji Renzi was stunned.
Did he take the credit?
this
Ji Renzi came back to her senses, and her eyes turned as she hurriedly said,""It's your son's duty to share your father's worries. As long as your father can let your son serve you for a few more years, your son will be very satisfied.”
Tch, who would believe this.
If that Ji Longcheng of the Monster Hunting City was handsome and dignified, I'm afraid that your son would definitely pray for my father day and night in the Monster Hunting City.
Su Ming cursed in his heart.
The corners of Ji Xuan's mouth stiffened. This matter had truly stumped him.
"This matter is of great importance. Everyone, go back and rest first. This matter is of great importance. Zhen will definitely reward you according to your achievements.”
Ji Xuan waved his hand.
"Your son will take his leave."
"I will take my leave!"
"I'll take my leave!"
Everyone cupped their fists and bowed before slowly retreating.
"Huo Tongxuan, stay behind."
Looking at the departing figures of the crowd, Ji Xuan suddenly said as if he had recalled something.
Huo Tongxuan was startled and immediately stopped in his tracks.
After everyone left, Ji Xuan couldn't help but say,""Although the Third Princess has contributed the most in this matter, the Northern Garrison Governor has also contributed greatly.”
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's nurturing."
Huo Tongxuan said respectfully.
"Elder Huo, how old are you this year?"
Huo Tongxuan raised his eyebrows and hurriedly said,"Your Majesty, I'm seventy-three years old this year!”
"Seventy-three."
"Ever since my father, Old Huo has been serving in the Northern Garrison," Ji Xuan muttered softly.
Huo Tongxuan seemed to know something and said in a trembling voice,"Your Majesty, this subject's body is still quite strong and can still serve Your Majesty for ten years!”
"Elder Huo, you're old enough to retire.”
Ji Xuan looked at the ragged robe on his body and said with a smile,""Besides, I don't know how to reward you for your meritorious service this time.”
"You are now the governor. One step further and you will be the four commanders.”
"Since the establishment of Dafeng, there have only been four commanders. I can't possibly remove one of them and let you take the position of commander for you, right?”
Huo Tongxuan couldn't help but fall silent.
The four commanders of the North Garrison Department had all made outstanding contributions and were rewarded with a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures by the imperial court. They had all advanced to the Grandmaster Realm.
The four of them were outside all year round, guarding the nine provinces of Dafeng. They could be said to be the four pillars of Dafeng.
He, Huo Tongxuan, was only a Connate Realm expert and had no hope of advancing to the Grandmaster Realm in this lifetime.
To him, the position of governor was already over.
However, he knew very well that his son had died in battle, leaving behind a son and a daughter.
He had to stay in the position of governor and support his grandson in the North Governor's Office.
Once he retreated, he would lose his power.
No matter how glorious he was in the Northern Garrison, after he stepped down from his post, all his power would leave him.
"Old Huo, your Huo family has served Da Feng for generations. Your son also unfortunately died in the line of duty during a mission.”
" I will never forget your achievements," Ji Xuan said slowly." Your grandson, Huo Jinghong, will definitely become a thousand-year-old when his cultivation rises in the future.”
"As for your granddaughter, Huo Chenxi, I'm prepared to bestow her to the third son of the Chi family, Chi Hanfeng.”
" Chi Hanfeng is currently working under Chen Beijiang. After this, Chi Hanfeng will be promoted to the position of a thousand households. Huo Chenxi marrying him is a good match."
"I will give you a death-exemption token. No matter who in your Huo family commits a capital crime in the future, with this token, you will be exempted from death once!”
"And you, Huo Tongxuan, will also be promoted to the position of Xuanwu Commander and retire with honor."
Upon hearing Ji Xuan's reward, Huo Tongxuan seemed to have regained his senses, and a strange glow appeared on his aged face.
He knew very well that under normal circumstances, he might not have the chance to be promoted to commander until the day he died.
However, because of this incident, he was promoted to Xuanwu commander.
However, for the Huo family, having a commander was also an extremely glorious matter.
The Huo family had been in the Northern Town Administrative Office for generations. What their predecessors could not do was finally accomplished in his generation.
Even if he went underground, he would still have the face to meet his ancestors!
A death-exemption medal was equivalent to having an additional life-saving item for the Huo family.
His grandson, Huo Jinghong, and granddaughter, Huo Chenxi, were also covered up by him in this incident.
Huo Tongxuan's tears flowed freely as he cried tears of joy.
He suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
