Zhao Xing said, "If it's true as you said, then this Li Dao really needs to be rewarded."
Looking at the confused expressions of the officials, Zhao Xing chuckled and said, "Are you curious about who Li Dao is in this memorial?"
Without waiting for the officials to answer, Zhao Xing threw the memorial in his hand to Zhao Zhong, "Take it and circulate it to them. If you want to know, just take a look."
Soon, Zhao Zhong delivered the memorial submitted by Yang Lin to an official in the first row.
The official opened it and took a look. Just like Zhao Xing's reaction before, he could read calmly at first, but at the end he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then showed a look of shock.
In this way, as the memorial was passed down bit by bit, almost everyone showed different expressions after understanding the contents of the memorial.
Soon after, the memorial was circulated and returned to Zhao Zhong again.
Zhao Xing looked at the officials and said, "You have read the memorial submitted by the Taiping Gong. What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person closest to the dragon steps on the military attaché's side raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to your majesty, you are so blessed!"
Afterwards, all the officials seemed to have come to their senses and congratulated him one after another.
They also saw clearly that Zhao Xing seemed to admire this person named Li Dao. Even if someone was unhappy in this situation, it was impossible for anyone to stand up and sing the opposite.
"Hahaha, it is indeed a joy to have such a talented person come out of my great work, but the most important thing now is about his reward."
"This young prodigy guarded Fufeng Pass for me, Da Gan. He killed three people at the Northern Barbarian Grandmaster level alone. There were countless innate soldiers, and there were even more ordinary soldiers. It can be said that he has made great achievements in battle."
Having said this, Zhao Xing looked at Yang Lin and said, "Tai Ping Gong, I don't know what kind of reward you want to get for him."
Hearing this, Yang Lin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Li Dao's achievements can be rewarded with a title!"
As soon as these words came out, the Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became quiet.
Soon, many voices of dissatisfaction were heard.
"Tai Ping Gong, it's over. Your request is too much."
"The memorial said that Li Dao is just an ordinary white man. Although he is a young genius, he cannot be promoted to Marquis in one go."
"Yes, that's too much. The real marquis didn't come up all the way. How can anyone say that he was granted the title of marquis as soon as he came up?"
"..."
Yang Lin's words were like poking a hornet's nest, causing all the civil and military officials to explode.
Both military attaches and civilian officials expressed their dissatisfaction.
The specific reason is that some of them have not been granted the title of marquis, and as a result, some people are granted the title of marquis as soon as they come up, which naturally creates a psychological imbalance.
Another part of the reason may be internal fighting.
There are fights wherever there are people, let alone in the court.
On the surface, everyone is amiable, but when it comes to a critical moment, it would be easy to stab someone in the back.
Yang Lin ignored the chatter of these people. He stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Zhao Xingyi who was sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, please judge."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall looked at Zhao Xing.
It's useless no matter how much they talk, they still have to ask this person to speak.
Zhao Xing scanned the crowd of ministers, and then said slowly, "Yang Lin, your dear friends are right, it is too much to ask for a title for him as soon as you come up."
Hearing this, the officials who had objections breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that His Majesty's appreciation for Li Dao has its limits.
But then, Zhao Xing said, "However, if we look at his merits, Li Dao is enough to be named a marquis."
Upon hearing this, the officials' hearts became anxious again.
At this time, Zhao Xing smiled slightly, "So, I thought of a compromise."
"It is definitely not possible to make a marquis for the time being. It is indeed inappropriate to make a marquis all at once, but there should be no objection to making a count."
He looked at the ministers who had objected just now and asked.
After hearing the title of earl, these people suddenly lost their opinions.
Because the earl and the marquis sound only one level apart, but the gap in between is a watershed.
In the imperial capital, earl can only be regarded as a mid-level title.
But the Marquis is among the best.
The two are not in the same circle at all.
The main reason is that the people who can now hold the title of marquis in Daqian either have ancestors with talented people and have maintained their own titles, or they have come from behind and climbed up through little efforts based on their personal abilities.
No matter which one is taken out, it is valuable.
Most of the earls and people below the earl were the same as they were when Li Dao was still Uncle An Yuan, and they had no value at all.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is difficult to become a marquis.
In short, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, it is possible to be granted the title of Uncle, but it is impossible to be granted the title of Marquis. Let him practice more.
Or wait until he enters the court to see if he can take care of the relationship.
If the relationship can be managed well, even if the merit is not enough, as long as the background is strong enough, they can still be promoted.
Seeing that no one spoke again, Zhao Xing looked at Yang Lin and said, "Since I can't be made a marquis, I can't be too stingy. If it's an earl, then I can be made a first-class uncle."
"As for the ban..."
Having said this, Zhao Xing suddenly said with a serious face, "Since he is a young genius, he should use his martial arts to bring peace to the world."
"so......"
"Reward with a title, Wu'an!"
Hearing this, Yang Lin was startled for a moment, then immediately cupped his hands and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Li!"
In fact, Yang Lin didn't expect to succeed in becoming a marquis. He just had the mentality of giving it a try. If he could succeed, it would be fine. If he didn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The first-class uncle is already very good, after all, this is the first time to be rewarded.
What's more, there is a very important key point here.
That's a ban.
Since ancient times, the emperor's attitude towards his ministers can actually be seen from the titles.
Generally, the titles of ministers who were not valued were given casually.
For example: Fulu, Zhiyong and other titles.
Only the emperor who valued his ministers would seriously think of a title and a reward.
And it is not difficult to see how much he values Li Dao by being awarded the title of Wu'an by being able to make Zhao Xing say the words "to secure the world with Wu'an".
With the word 'Wu'an', Li Dao will be a superior being among the earls, and people with a higher title than Li Dao will not underestimate him.
In short, account ban is like an invisible reward.
It seems ordinary, but in fact it has a profound meaning.
I saw that the faces of many officials in the court changed after hearing the title given by Zhao Xing.
Obviously, they all understand the meaning of this number.
After the reward was completed, Zhao Xing looked at Yang Lin and said, "Of course, although Li Dao cannot be granted a title for the time being, I will not let him suffer."
"I will keep the rest of his achievements as a first-class empress. If Li Dao makes great achievements next time, he can use them again to stack the reward."
"In short, I will never be stingy with rewards for those who work hard for me."
After hearing Zhao Xing's words, Yang Lin was startled again.
Because he understood the emperor's meaning from these words.
This means that although you cannot be granted the title of Marquis now, if you can still make meritorious service next time, that will be fine.
So Yang Lin immediately said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty again on behalf of Li Dao!"
