Cheng Tianlin's title of "Pioneer General" was the official position he received when he went on an expedition against Northern Yuan Dynasty and was ordered to do so in a critical situation.
Although he has the title of general, he is at best a ranger general, responsible for being Xu Rong's advance force.
Now promoted by Emperor Liang to the headquarter of Kaifeng Prefecture, he is equivalent to the commander of the Capital Military Region.
Cheng Tianlin was naturally extremely happy after receiving such a big official position!
After thanking him, Emperor Liang raised his voice and asked again: "Where is General Hufu?"
"The general is here!"
A deep and powerful voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in his late fifties walked up.
He was born with broad cheeks and dark complexion.
He has piercing eyes and a thick beard.
He walked like a tiger, and at first glance, he saw that he was a soldier who had been staying in the camp all year round.
Xu Rong walked to the front of the hall and knelt down in front of Emperor Liang.
Today's reception ceremony will be attended by all ministers and their families.
As the king of a country, Emperor Liang naturally brought a number of concubines to attend.
As the mother of a country, Queen Shangguan sat on the left hand side of Emperor Liang.
However, the prince was banned and his sister was infamous, so Empress Shangguan didn't look very good.
Concubine Shu, the biological mother of the second prince Song De, was sitting in the audience, not close to Emperor Liang.
But when she saw Xu Rong walking to the front of the formation, Concubine Shu couldn't help but straighten her back.
As concubines in the harem, the emperor's favor and the merits of their natal family are all their confidence.
Seeing her brother's great military exploits, Concubine Shu's pride was beyond words.
Kneeling in front of Emperor Liang, Xu Rong was also full of confidence and quietly waited for Emperor Liang's reward.
Cheng Tianlin, the little pioneer general, got the official position of Kaifeng Prefecture Headquarters.
And as General Hufu, he will definitely receive unprecedented praise!
"General Hu Fu will lead the soldiers of Daliang to expel all Beiyuan from the country and restore peace and prosperity to Daliang!"
"Such a great contribution deserves to be praised!"
"General Tiger Appreciation Talisman, one hundred thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"General Jin Hufu is the Minister of Health in charge of Luan Yi!"
Xu Rongzheng lowered his head quietly, waiting for his reward.
But after hearing Xue Hai's words, the smile on Xu Rong's face disappeared instantly.
Instead, there was endless anger and confusion!
Mingming had heard rumors before that Emperor Liang planned to make himself the Marquis of Ping'an.
But now, the Marquis who got it has flown away, and he only got the empty post of Minister of Health in charge of the ceremony!
After being promoted from the first rank to the first rank, he did not gain any actual power in his hands.
How could Xu Rong not be angry and angry!
As a military commander, Xu Rong was filled with joy and anger, and his face immediately turned down.
"General, I thank you, Your Majesty!"
After answering coldly, Xu Rong stood up and returned to his seat.
Not only did Xu Rong look unhappy, Concubine Shu couldn't help but look disappointed after hearing this.
Based on his brother's achievements, it would not be too much to make him a marquis!
But now, my brother has just received a false position with no title.
Concubine Shu was naturally very unhappy.
Emperor Liang was certainly aware of Xu Rong's reaction.
However, Emperor Liang did not intend to pay attention to him, but continued to look up at the ministers.
"Today, in addition to honoring and rewarding the two generals, I also have something very important to announce!"
"The divine arm bow developed by the fourth prince is extremely powerful and will soon be used in the battle to suppress bandits in Liangzhou."
"Fourth Prince, all the ministers are here today, please demonstrate it to everyone in person!"
Song Huan was about to stand up and agree, but he saw the fool Cheng Tianlin on the side volunteering: "Your Majesty, I will do the work for my eldest brother from now on!"
"My eldest brother personally taught me how to use the divine arm and bow."
"My eldest brother is Long Zi. Let the end of the world take care of such laborious matters!"
Seeing Cheng Tianlin who recommended himself, all the courtiers couldn't help but be confused.
The son of the prime minister has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is known for his hot temper.
The prince and the second prince had both intended to win over each other, but he did not want to have too much contact with the prince and refused them all.
But he never expected that on his first day back in Beijing, he would become familiar with the Fourth Prince so quickly!
He even called the fourth prince "big brother" with great affection!
Could it be that the Fourth Prince really had some ability to confuse people's minds and could easily subdue this rebellious young general?
Emperor Liang was also slightly startled, then smiled and replied: "Okay!"
"Then let Mr. Cheng do it for you!"
Cheng Tianlin was very happy, took the divine arm bow presented by the eunuch, and stood calmly opposite the target.
The moment he raised his hand and lowered his bow, Cheng Tianlin had already fired all ten bow and arrows.
When the courtiers saw the power of the Divine Arm Bow, they couldn't help but marvel.
"This gadget doesn't look like much, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
"Yes! I think there are at least a hundred steps from Mr. Cheng's position to the target! But this arrow actually penetrated the target, which shows how powerful it is!"
"The Fourth Prince said before that this divine arm bow can easily shoot a distance of two to three hundred steps. It seems that the Fourth Prince is sincere in deceiving me!"
"Is there a possibility that Mr. Cheng's arm strength is so strong that he can exert the true effect of this divine arm bow?"
"of course not!"
Cheng Tianlin rolled his eyes in the direction of the sound.
"Brother's divine arm bow is so amazing that it makes people applaud!"
"I learned from my eldest brother. At most, I only inherited two or three points of my eldest brother's skills. I definitely can't keep up with half of my eldest brother's skills!"
"It can be said that my eldest brother is a god who uses a god's arm bow!"
"You ordinary people, don't even think about seeing it with your own eyes!"
The courtiers did not expect that Cheng Tianlin would protect the fourth prince to such an extent!
I never expected that the fourth prince, a scholar who had never practiced martial arts, would be able to convince Cheng Tianlin, a general!
Everyone couldn't help but become curious. If Cheng Tianlin's skill was only 20-30% of the fourth prince's, how powerful would the fourth prince be?
Song Huan felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Cheng Tianlin so much, so he quickly reported to Emperor Liang: "Let me tell you, Father, this kind of divine arm bow is convenient, quick and easy to use."
"It's just that if you want to master the tricks, you need special training."
"My son proposed to select 3,000 soldiers who are good at using bows from the barracks to form a 'Shenji Battalion' and train them!"
"In less than three days, they will be able to use the divine arm bow and go to Liangzhou to suppress the bandits."
Song Huan's proposal made Emperor Liang's eyes light up.
"good!"
"The Fourth Prince's proposal is very good!"
"Then the task of selecting and training the Shenji Battalion will be left to..."
