Chapter 187: Rewarding Heroes(1/2)

Wei State, its capital city is Anyi, and its palaces.

In the main hall, courtiers dressed in Wei official uniforms were sitting on their seats, and wisps of smiles appeared in each of their eyes from time to time.

In the past year, whether it was facing Qin in the west or Qi in the east, Wei could be said to have achieved a complete victory.

Through the victory of these wars, Wei's momentum can be said to be at its peak, and its position as the hegemon of the Central Plains is almost unshakable.

As Wei people, how could the Wei courtiers here not feel happy about their country's victory, and how could they not be proud of their country's strength.

Of course, in addition to the joy and pride in their hearts, the Wei court officials present here also inevitably had a few different thoughts in their hearts.

You must know that Wei Feng, as the Marquis of Wei, made a promise before the war started, and during the war, he even gave the rank of general to the frontline general Pang Juan.

Now that the war against Qin and Qi has come to an end, the troops on the front line have also returned one after another, and it is time to reward them for their merits.

If there are no accidents, Wei Hou Wei Feng will reward those heroes who performed outstandingly in this war at today's court meeting.

Do these heroes include myself who worked conscientiously in the war? What kind of generous rewards will the Marquis of Wei give to those heroes?

For the answers to these questions, the courtiers here have some expectations in their hearts.

"Your Majesty is here!"

A loud voice from outside the hall rang in everyone's ears, and then Wei Feng, who was wearing a red prince's robe, slowly walked into the hall and appeared in front of a group of Wei courtiers.

Today, Wei Feng's left hand holding the long sword at his waist was a little harder than before, and the steps under his feet were a little lighter than before, but in a few breaths, he was already standing on the steps in front of the hall.

When the Marquis of Wei settled in his position, and Gongshu Cuo, the head of the hundred officials, stood up, all the courtiers present immediately lined up in front of Wei Feng according to their seats.

"I will pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

Wei Feng's eyes slowly swept across the group of Wei courtiers below. After taking in the expressions on each person's face, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone is safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers was completed and the ministers returned to their seats, Wei Feng's somewhat majestic voice rang out in the hall.

"In the past year, our country, Wei, has been experiencing many difficulties."

"First, the Qin State mobilized all its troops to invade our borders, intending to regain the land in Hexi captured by my ancestor Wen Hou;"

"Later, Qi State dispatched elite troops to attack our city, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of our Wei army's westward transfer to seize our land in the east of Wei Dynasty."

"Qin and Qi are both powerful countries in the world. Facing the east-west attack from the two countries, the crisis of Wei is imminent."

Wei Feng's words were low and powerful, as if he had brought the Wei courtiers present with him to the critical moment when the battle report from the front line arrived.

Looking at the faces in his field of vision that looked solemn because of his words, Wei Feng nodded secretly in his heart, and then his tone became higher-pitched as he changed the subject.

"Faced with these numerous crises, we, the Wei people, did not give in and surrendered to Qin and Qi."

"With the dedicated efforts of the ministers, the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers, and the concerted efforts of countless Wei people, our country, Wei, defeated the powerful enemy, overcame the crisis, and achieved a final glorious victory."

"The reason why our country of Wei is able to win is not because of a few people but because of the ministers, the officers and the tens of thousands of Wei people. You are all the meritorious people of our country of Wei."

"Everyone, please bow to me."

After making an impassioned speech, Wei Feng bowed to the Wei courtiers in front of him with determination in his eyes.

Seeing this scene in front of them, the Wei courtiers present unanimously chose to stand up from their seats again.

After bowing in unison again, the cheers of the Wei courtiers resounded throughout the hall.

"The king has been here for thousands of years, and the state of Wei has been here for thousands of years."

"The king has been here for thousands of years, and the state of Wei has been here for thousands of years."

"The king has been here for thousands of years, and the state of Wei has been here for thousands of years."



The roaring shouts aroused the excitement in Wei Feng's heart, and also inspired the excitement in the hearts of all the Wei courtiers present.

Until the sound gradually dissipated in the hall, until everyone returned to their seats, everyone's face still showed a bit of excitement.

However, no matter how uneasy they felt at the moment, the Wei courtiers below still tried hard to hold their breath and focus their gazes on Wei Feng above.

Obviously, something more exciting is about to happen in this big hall where everyone is.

His eyes once again passed over the faces of the courtiers below, and he saw a solemn look on Wei Feng's face, and a loud voice immediately appeared on the faces of each courtier.

"Where is Sima Gongsun Qi?"

Almost as soon as the voice fell, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Sima Gongsun Qi who was sitting in front of the ministers.

Wei Feng took the lead in calling Gongsun Qi, which actually did not surprise all the Wei courtiers present.

Gongsun Qi's performance in this battle was so amazing that it can even be said that he single-handedly contributed to Wei's victory over Qin in the west and Qi's advantage in the east.

Facing the eyes of everyone looking at him, mixed with envy and admiration, Gongsun Qi slowly walked from the seat to Wei Feng.

"My lord, Sun Qi, pays homage to your Majesty."

Looking at the figure standing in front of him, Wei Feng's face was full of admiration for him.

As time went by, Wei Feng became more and more grateful for the idea of ​​​​inviting Gongsun Qi to join the officialdom in person.

Being able to obtain Gongsun Qi, a national scholar, was a blessing to Wei Feng, and even more so to the entire Wei state.

Thinking of this, Wei Feng looked forward with more respect, and a loud voice sounded immediately.

"Sima Gong and Sun Qi first planned the battle of Hexi for me, so that our Wei State could counterattack Qin's actions with ease;"

"Then he led the central coalition forces to defeat a hundred thousand Qi troops in Puyang. The frontline of the troops even reached the Great Wall of Qi State, which greatly increased the prestige of Wei State."

"Such outstanding achievements cannot be repaid except by making him a king. I have told him to make Gongsun Qi the king of Anyang and grant him four thousand hectares of land."

Hearing the reward mentioned by Wei Feng, even Gongsun Qi, who was usually known as a mature and stable character among the officials, couldn't help but feel a few excitements in his heart at this moment.

Not to mention since Wei Feng succeeded to the throne, even in the decades since the founding of Wei State, the number of monarchs has only been a handful.

Among these monarchs, except for Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo, who was granted the title of monarch because of his merits, most of them were highly respected members of the Wei clan sent by the Wei State in order to appease the local area.

It can be said that the status of the princes of the Wei State at this moment is comparable to that of the princes of later generations, and Sima Gongsun Qi, who was named the prince today, has undoubtedly entered the top level of power in the Wei State.

Thinking of this, the officials below first looked at the relatively young figure in front of them, and then at the already aging Prime Minister, Uncle Cui.

If there are no surprises, after Gongshu Cuo passes away, the person who will succeed him as prime minister should be Wei Feng, the second prince since he succeeded to the throne.

However, Gongsun Qi had no way of knowing what the Wei court officials below were thinking about, or he was so excited at the moment that he no longer had the energy to care about these issues.

Slowly raising his trembling hands, he bowed to Wei Feng in front of him, and heard Gongsun Qi say loudly: "My lord, Gongsun Qi, thank you very much."

Hearing the excitement in his words, a smile immediately appeared on Wei Feng's face, and his voice became a little kind involuntarily.

"Anyang Jun, please take a seat."

"Here."

After a few breaths, when Anyang Jun Gongsun Qi, who was still a little excited, sat down on his seat, Wei Feng's eyes turned to another person below.

"Where is General Pang Juan?"

After Wei Feng's shout rang out, a figure immediately stood up among the officials below Gongsun Qi, and then he was seen walking quickly in front of Wei Feng.

"The last general Pang Juan is here to see you, your Majesty."

Looking at Pang Juan who had arrived below him, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face, and he soon saw him arriving in front of him step by step.

"General Pang Juan, do you still remember what I ordered you to tell me?"

"I will report to you, Your Majesty, and I will never forget your words for a moment. It's just..."

There was a hint of hesitation in his tone of voice. The next moment, Pang Juan and Wei Feng's eyes connected. That hesitation was quickly replaced by determination.

"It's just that Pang Juan is a minister of the emperor and a general of Wei. It is the duty of the last general to lead the army to attack the city and win the victory."

"Your Majesty promised me the position of General before. Please forgive me for not daring to..."

"Hey, why should General Pang Juan be so humble?"

Before Pang Juan finished speaking, Wei Feng's voice interrupted him, "General Pang Juan first defeated the main force of the Qin army at Shaoliang City for a few people, and then led his army to capture Qin's capital, Yueyang."

"A general who has done such a great job, but he still treats the hero poorly, how can he refuse to accept it?"

"Moreover, you have no joke. General Pang Juan doesn't want me to break my promise because of the general, causing the princes in the world to laugh at me, right?"

Wei Feng had already said this, and Pang Juan immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more, I will be willing to accept it."

"That's right." Another solemn look flashed across Wei Feng's eyes, and then he heard, "In this battle in Hexi, General Pang Juan first defeated a hundred thousand Qin army for me, and then led his army to attack Qin.

Du Yueyang."

"On my orders, Pang Juan is specially made a general and given a palace with thousands of hectares of land."

Facing such a generous reward from Wei Feng, Pang Juan felt a little excited in his eyes, and then he saw him giving a military salute in front of him.

"General Pang Juan, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

That is to say, when Pang Juan turned around and returned to his seat, and Wei Feng's eyes moved towards the figure in front of the ministers, Gongshu Cuo, the prime minister, took the initiative to stand up from his seat.

He slowly came to Wei Feng, and after bowing slightly, he heard Gongshu Cuo say softly: "I have something to report to your Majesty, please allow your Majesty."
