Yan Cheng cut it off and said nothing.
At the same time, Zhou Han's trusted confidants were all killed in one fell swoop.
As a result, all the people in Zhou Han died, and the living people turned towards Zhou Che.
Zhou Che, Chen Zhibing and others also took advantage of the opportunity to defeat the thieves.
What nonsense is that?
Zhou Han almost went berserk on the spot!
Cao Zheng, the Minister of War, watched it with his eyes, and Zhou Han stopped.
What he has to do now is not to continue attacking Zhou Che, but to protect himself - to distance himself from the relationship with Yan Cheng!
Therefore, at this moment, Zhou Han could only grit his teeth and say: "In that case... Yan Cheng deserves to die!"
He suddenly raised his head again and said to the emperor: "Father, I will go to the riding camp that day..."
"alright."
The emperor directly interrupted his explanation and waved his sleeve: "There is no need to investigate. The fact that Yan Cheng killed the prince is enough to convict him."
"Come here and prepare an edict."
"yes!"
"Yan Cheng, the former lieutenant general in the river guarding camp, conspired to kill the prince. He was so audacious that the Yi tribe..."
The emperor suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Han deeply: "Destroy the nine tribes!"
"yes!"
According to the laws of Daxia, destroying the nine tribes is an exclusive honor involving rebellion.
Yan Cheng murdered the prince, but it did not mean that he wanted to overthrow Daxia and the emperor - obviously, this was a severe punishment.
He was both appeasing Zhou Che and beating Zhou Han!
For Zhou Han, Yan Cheng died for him, so Zhou Han should protect his family.
But what about now? Even the nine tribes were shoveled together!
Zhou Han was sweating on his forehead and did not dare to refute at all.
Seeing Zhou Han's demeanor, the emperor seemed satisfied and looked away: "The school captain Fang Yan, the other department's Sima Wang Ning and others ransacked their homes and destroyed their clans."
The eunuch wrote vigorously and quickly.
The eldest prince Zhou Yuan said: "Father, those who commit crimes should be punished, and those who have done merit should also be rewarded."
Lu Huang quickly shouted: "What His Highness said is true!"
The ministers did not miss this opportunity to be a good person and spoke out one after another.
The emperor nodded, announced that all participants in the war should enter the palace, and asked Chen Zhibing to explain the battle situation, achievements, etc.
"Chen Zhibing, the captain of the river guarding cavalry camp, is good at changing situations and making decisions. He has made great achievements in breaking thieves and protecting the soil. He was promoted to the general of the cavalry camp."
Chen Zhibing was overjoyed and fell to the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, the person he was most grateful for was not the emperor, but Zhou Che beside him!
Last night, he took a gamble with Zhou Chehao and let him directly take Yan Cheng's position.
From being a lieutenant to being a lieutenant-general, it may seem like a step, but it often takes a lifetime to make the leap!
The general positions are different from the school positions, one is a carrot and the other is a pit. Yan Cheng and others were promoted because of the newly established river protection camp and the promotion of the second prince.
I have low qualifications and no one in the government. If I hadn't had the opportunity last night, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to take this step in my life.
In addition to Chen Zhibing, the two commanders of the cavalry camp were also promoted to one level and took over the vacant position of captain.
"The prince of the Marquis of Pixiang."
When the emperor saw Zhen Wu, he couldn't help but smile: "Your family is very rich, and you have contributed to the salt method. You can inherit the title, why not become a civil servant?"
The emperor's meaning is very straightforward: Your family is so rich, there is no need to fight and gamble with your life.
Zhen Wu's eyebrows were dancing: "The left and right are officials, your Majesty, please give me a military attache!"
The emperor was stunned, but then he agreed: "In this case, I will give you the position of infantry captain."
"In addition, take a pair of treasure armor from the royal private treasury and give it to Zhen Wu."
Zhen Wu ignored his injuries and bowed before him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The leading officer ordered Prime Minister Li He to be promoted to the Prime Minister of the Department of Agriculture, with full authority to assist in the opening of new salt mines."
As for Gai Yue and Qian Hongxue, they were Zhou Che's retainers or even domestic slaves. They had complete personal dependence on Zhou Che, and their official positions in the imperial court were meaningless to them.
According to the rules, even the emperor could not bypass Zhou Che and reward them - in a sense, this was an infringement of Zhou Che's 'sovereignty'.
They don't need official positions either. The status of such people comes entirely from their lord.
If their lord is defeated, they will have nothing.
Once the master accomplishes something, they will follow suit - just like the former retainers of the emperor, they may control the world, or they may use force to intimidate the people, or they may occupy important positions in the chancellery, or they may simply seal a border.
Finally, there was Zhou Che himself.
The emperor stared at him for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Lao Liu, tell yourself, what do you want?"
"I……"
"Be more reliable!"
As soon as Zhou Che opened his mouth, the emperor suddenly reminded him.
Damn, it makes me very unreliable... Zhou Che was speechless and raised his hands seriously: "Father, the thieves in the east of the river are rampant. I would like to gather troops at the north ferry of Mang Mountain to fight against the thieves in the east of the river!"
Time waits for no one. If you want to secure your position as heir on the coronation day, you must make a decent achievement.
And military exploits are undoubtedly the toughest!
In addition, war and military exploits are the fastest way to strengthen your troops!
What Zhou Che said attracted unanimous approval.
The ministers may not agree with Zhou Che as a general, but they definitely agree with punishing the thieves.
The Hedong thieves have become so rampant that if they are not wiped out, the personal safety of all the gentlemen will not be guaranteed, let alone the face of the court.
After all, these thieves even dare to kill the prince, let alone them?
"Hedong Guo thief really can't stay."
The emperor nodded, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Even if Hedong turns into white land, the Guo thieves must be eliminated!"
"Father!"
At this time, Zhou Han stood up and said: "To suppress the Guo thieves, we must use a large army to fight. Although Lao Liu was lucky enough to win last night, he has no experience in leading an army."
"The stakes in this battle are too high for him to take on this responsibility."
"My son is willing to lead the army and supervise the troops to defeat thieves!"
