“Sir Xu, what’s wrong? Sir Xu?”
Xu Yu’s colleagues in Cloudcenter’s officialdoreatly alarmed They quickly moved over to support him Compared to before, however, when they all seemed to be of the same opinion, there were far fewer of them That was just how hypocritical the world of bureaucracy was People could already tell that his accusation of ood awaiting him
The most important part was that Zu An now had such a powerful backer, Yan Xuehen Paired with his other identity as the crown princess’ pet, he was already practically unstoppable There didn’t seem to be any hope for Xu Yu to make a comeback
Zu An, of course, didn’t feel a shred of sympathy If he had lost instead, his end would only have been more miserable
In theconcern for his subordinate, saying, “Have so hiht him away in a flurry of motion
Then, the emperor asked seriously, “Since you all feel that Sir Zu has earned great contributions, what kind of reward is appropriate?”
Sang Hong felt a chill when he heard that The e to do with hiation were completely unrelated to him However, all the court’s insiders knew that if not for his tacit approval, the trial would never have happened
Considering Sang Hong’s understanding of the emperor, if he really wanted to reward his subordinate, he wouldn’t need to speak such auous words Instead, he would at least provide the subjects with a direction to discuss the details
Sure enough, the people present were all sly and cunning, noticing the emperor’s attitude They all looked at each other, yet none of the’s voice was loud and clear as she broke the silence “Sir Zu has saved the lives of countless people, putting an end to a potential huge disaster Inhi too far”
According to the court’s unwritten rules, only the children of the royal fa The title of duke was already the highest noble title possible for those without the i knew that suggestion wasn’t too realistic, but only starting boldly would leave rooh, some officials quickly said, “In these past few months, Sir Zu has already risen from a civilian to a baron, and then quickly rose up to viscount If we raise him to the rank of duke, will that rate of pro said coldly, “The reason why our Zhou Dynasty has been able to triumph in every battle is because when there is merit, there is inevitably reward Thus, if the speed of promotion is cited as the issue, will that not make those who serve our country feel cold?”
Many ministers rolled their eyes There have been so ht back more achievements, and yet which one of them has risen up as quickly as Zu An?
Bi Qi orried that his daughterexcessive enmity He cleared his throat and said, “Sir Zu’s contributions should be rewarded, but he is still too young Rising up i This subject proposes that we pro was left in ads they say don’t offend anyone, and even Zu An hi to pass on soestion was close to what he had intoo far, but he wouldn’t feel too happy about it if he had to give tooZu An a countshi+p was perfect He said, “Then he will be promoted to count Those present iven”
When they heard that the e Zu An to the rank of count, those present in Cloudcenter Coht have had higher official positions than hi, and yet he had already become a count There hadn’t been ht?
nobility rank and official position were different Not only did counts have the ability to collect taxes; their title was so that could be passed down to their children! Of course, unless every single generation was outstanding, such noble ranks would usually fall with each successive generation However, the rank of count was already high enough to be passed down several tie advantage in es within the true circles of aristocracy
Zu An was also quite happy However, that wasn’t because he was now a count; rather, it was that he could finally get rid of that dareen hat’ slang in this world, he still felt a chill whenever he thought about it
After the court’s subjects discussed a themselves for a bit, they quickly reached a conclusion
Pei Shao suggested, “A recent report says that rated to Great Lady City, so perhaps we could designate that as Sir Zu’s territory?”[1]
The eive Zu An the title of Great Lady Count This emperor is tired, so let us end the court session here”
Bi Linglong naturally knew that Great Lady City was extre to its poor environment and its problerated there were nothing ees
The reason why the Pei clan had suggested that territory was purely to get back at Zu An as much as they could Unfortunately, the emperor had already decided before she even had ti the decision anyh Great Lady City is a bit poor, at least Zu An is a count now, for better or for worse It’s not too bad, she thought to console herself
