Above the Imperial Palace of Hanyang City, the capital of Chen State.
Li Rui, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had extremely thick panda eyes and was yawning non-stop, without any energy at all.
Some time ago, he indulged too much in Li Wanji's body, and his waist almost broke.
Despite this, he still treats Li Wanji like Aaron Kwok's lyrics every day: He loves her endlessly!
Who knows that Li Wanji has too many sexy underwear, either bunny or nurse uniforms, but what fascinates Li Rui the most is the high heels and stockings!
The man on the dragon chair looked listlessly at the ministers below and asked, "Do you have any reports for your beloved ministers today?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian immediately jumped out with the memorial from the Zhouyi newspaper and reported to Li Rui, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a sluggish expression.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
"General Tiance reports that this time he conquered the Dawan Kingdom in the west and destroyed seventeen countries, and surrendered sixty-three countries. Hundreds of countries in the Western Region accepted their submissions as vassals, and respectfully called His Majesty the Khan of Heaven!"
"Tian Khan?"
Li Rui, who was originally listless on the dragon throne, instantly became energetic after hearing this title.
Li Rui also knew that Khan means leader in both Xiongnu and Khitan languages, and the title of Khan on this day does not mean that he is the supreme heaven.
Li Rui laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, Tian Khan, I like this name!"
"Now that General Zhou has defeated seventeen more countries for me and conquered sixty-three, what do you think I should reward General Zhou?"
Yan Song, the treacherous prime minister who is the leader of the officials, gets weirder and weirder the more he thinks about it, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong.
"With the land of Yongzhou alone, how could Zhou Xingjian get so much food to support the army of the Western Expedition?"
"Could it be that he lied about the military situation and deceived the emperor, who is like a fool, so as to gain credit?"
As soon as Yan Song had this idea, he immediately winked at Grandmaster Wen's favorite disciple Kong Yingxian.
Kong Yingxian, who was well versed in observing words and emotions, had become the third-in-command of the Yan Party. He immediately realized that Yan Song wanted to suppress Zhou Yi, so he took the lead to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, as the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, is also the Lord of Yi and Di. Not being ashamed of his name, but accepting his sycophancy, not following the example of the past, is not enough for future generations."
"Wei Chen thinks that His Majesty's title of 'Heavenly Khan' is the fault of General Tiance, rather than merit!"
Li Rui was naturally unhappy after hearing this, because he himself really liked the title 'Tian Khan'.
"What? Kong Aiqing, do you want to teach me how to do things?" Li Rui asked, looking coldly at Kong Yingxian.
When Kong Yingxian heard this sarcastic remark, he immediately shivered involuntarily.
Yan Song stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the title of Heavenly Khan is extremely suitable for you, the lord of thousands of years and the king of saints. No one in the world can surpass your majesty in your achievements."
"It's just that I have doubts. Didn't General Tiance conquer the Dawan Kingdom in the west? How could he destroy sixteen additional countries in the Western Region and surrender sixty-three!"
Wei Zhongxian was waiting for Yan Song here, and immediately stood up to fight back: "Does the Prime Minister suspect that General Tiance lied about military information and defrauded His Majesty's favor?"
Yan Song did not directly answer Wei Zhongxian's words, but bowed to Li Rui on the dragon throne and returned to his seat.
Although he didn't say a word, Yan Song's performance said everything.
Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly and clapped his hands, and several young eunuchs brought up the surrender forms containing the surrenders of the countries in the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, this is the surrender of all the countries in the Western Regions. In addition, the Royal Horse Supervisor also has twenty fine thousand-mile horses that General Tiance obtained from the Dawan Kingdom. I originally wanted to wait for Your Majesty when you want to go out for a trip. I’ll report to Your Majesty when I’m hunting so I can give you a surprise!”
Emperor Chen and Li Rui couldn't wait to see Dawan Kingdom's thousand-mile horse, and quickly ordered someone to pull the horse into the hall.
Li Rui looked at the horses sent by Zhou Yi. He did feel that these horses were extremely tall, but they were not as handsome as he imagined.
Although the horses that Zhou Yi gave to Li Rui were also blooded horses from the Kingdom of Dawan, they were all used by their mighty guards and were eliminated. Naturally, they did not have the energy and spirit of a real thousand-mile horse.
Wei Zhongxian also realized Li Rui's disappointment, so he helped explain: "Your Majesty, Dawan Kingdom is thousands of miles away from Dachen, and these thousands of miles of horses have just been transported to Hanyang City. The energy and spirit have not recovered yet. Wait until the emperor If the slaves of the horse supervisor take good care of them for a while, they will definitely be able to restore their vitality to these thousand-mile horses!"
After hearing this, Li Rui felt that it was very reasonable, and his expression that was originally a little disappointed instantly turned into a smile.
Wei Zhongxian looked back at the treacherous prime minister Yan Song again, and continued to fan the flames, saying: "But who would have thought that the Prime Minister would actually doubt General Tiance, who guards the border far away and works tirelessly for the country."
"Your Majesty, if what happened today reaches the ears of the general, how sad it would be for the general who is loyal to our court and your majesty!"
Li Rui also felt that what Wei Zhongxian said was true. In addition, the last time Zhou Yi defeated the Xiongnu Wuwan Shanyu, he originally wanted to marry Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi refused with the excuse of "the Xiongnu is not destroyed, why should we take care of the family".
That great achievement was equivalent to not giving any reward to Zhou Yi.
This time Zhouyi destroyed sixteen kingdoms in the Western Region and surrendered sixty-three. If we don't reward him with something practical, I'm afraid it will really arouse the other party's dissatisfaction!
"Xiao Weizi, what do you think is a better reward for me to reward the general this time? I offered Princess Gaoyang a marriage to him before, but the general did not accept it. What should I reward him this time?"
Wei Zhongxian had heard Wang Dachui say the last time that the emperor was too stingy. They had made such great achievements and yet they were not given the Nine Tins, the False Festival Yue, and the swords and shoes to go to the palace to praise and worship.
Wei Zhongxian did not dare to propose the two treacherous rewards of going to the palace with swords and shoes to pay homage to Buming, but he could fight for Zhou Yi's two rewards of Jiuxi and Jiajie.
All the ministers in the court were also very surprised after hearing this.
Jiuxi are nine kinds of ritual utensils given by the emperor to princes and ministers with special honors, and are the expression of the highest courtesy; "Fake Festival Yue" represents the emperor's travels, and ministers who observe festivals represent the emperor's personal visit, symbolizing the emperor's relationship with the emperor. The state can exercise corresponding powers.
Adding these two together, it means that the minister's contribution has reached the sky.
If Zhou Yi is given Jiuxi and Jiajie, then if Zhou Yi makes new achievements in the future, he will be unblockable!
As Zhou Yi's mortal enemy, how could Yan Song let Wei Zhongxian succeed? He immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, what Eunuch Wei said is very inappropriate..."
Just when Yan Song was about to elaborate on the reasons, a messenger interrupted Yan Song.
"Your Majesty is not well!"
"It has been raining continuously for months in the south of the Yangtze River. Dams have broken in many places along the Yangtze River. Dozens of cities in the south of the Yangtze River have been severely affected by floods!"
