“This lowly official will definitely make His Majesty die.”

“Minister Yuan, what do you think of the war in the northeast?” Emperor Yuan jing asked.

“Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!” Yuan Xiong said in a clear voice.

The next day, the court Assembly was held as usual.

The Imperial court had been actively discussing the aftermath over the past three days, but the officials all knew that the real show had not begun.

This battle, which was called assisting the demon barbarians and attacking the witchcraft cult, had to be determined.

Only after determining the nature could they announce it to the world and give the world an explanation. The historians also had to know how to start writing, whether to praise or to attack.

Yuan jing had been dragging things out, but some of the more observant old foxes in the officialdom had already figured out something in the past few days.

His Majesty was waiting for someone to voice out a different opinion.

However, this was, after all, a taboo, and the first person to do it would be cursed.

Which civil official didn’t cherish their own feathers?

This matter was different from ordinary party disputes. If you screwed it up, you would be branded as a treacherous official at any moment. Then, you would be cleared out, demoted, or expelled, and even be recorded in the history books.

The sky was still dark, and the Lords entered through the side door of the meridian Gate one by one, crossing the Golden water Bridge and entering the throne room.

The Golden Dragon candles were arranged in rows, and the light from the candles illuminated the magnificent Hall.

Everyone entered the hall and waited for a quarter of an hour. Emperor Yuan jing, dressed in a yellow robe, slowly walked in.

After the Emperor and officials discussed the post-war matters, the Minister of

Revenue stepped out and said,

“Your Majesty, the matter of compensation can not be delayed any longer. Please give an explanation to the people of the world and the families of the fallen soldiers as soon as possible.”

This time, Emperor Yuan jing didn’t avoid the topic. He looked down at the court officials and said slowly, “”What do you all think?”

The censor Zhang xingying stepped out and said, Your Majesty, Lord Wei has conquered the headquarters of the witchcraft cult and destroyed Jingshan city.

Majesty to confer Lord Wei the title of first-class Duke of Wei and establish

Zhongwu.

This was definitely the highest honor after Emperor Wu Zong.

First class Duke of Wei was the highest rank.

“Loyal martial” was the highest title of a general.

After all, Wei Yuan was not a scholar from the imperial examination and had no official title. Otherwise, Zhang xingying would have asked for the title of ” Wen Zheng.

The officials in the court looked at each other, but they did not refute, which was rare. This included their former political enemies.

If it was in the past, the Civil officials would have jumped out and slapped him in the face.

But now, there was no need to.
