"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1312
"Give Lin Yu a first-rank military marquis!"
"Give Peng Dashun a first-rank military marquis!"
"Give Cheng Feng a first-rank military marquis!"
While Chen Ziang canonized the living soldiers, he did not forget the many brothers who died in the bloody battle.
For these brothers who died in battle, Chen Ziang also selected some representative ones and presented them with titles posthumously.
For all the deceased brothers who were posthumously titled, their immediate family members not only received the death pension from the empire, but also enjoyed the same treatment as orphans of the same level of title.
"Your Majesty really values ??love and righteousness."
"The spirits of the brothers who died in battle can rest in peace."
"I didn't expect His Majesty to remember the brothers who died in battle."
Seeing Chen Zi'ang posthumously presenting gifts to those brothers who died in battle, the meritorious ministers filled with joy were also deeply moved.
After all, many of the brothers who died in battle were people they were familiar with.
They were able to live until now to become the meritorious ministers of the empire, while those brothers turned into a pile of bones.
Chen Ziang's posthumous titles to those brothers who died in battle undoubtedly enhanced his image among the crowd.
Chen Ziang actually wanted to confer the title of Grand Duke Chen Ru, the old man, but when communicating in private, Chen Ru declined.
Chen Ru also knew how much he had. If it hadn't been for Chen Zi'ang's efforts to turn the tide, the Qinghe Army would have been disintegrated and destroyed.
The Qinghe army didn't make much progress in his hands, but it was almost wiped out.
Therefore, Chen Ru felt that he had no credit for it, so he refused the award of the title, not wanting to be in the limelight.
If he forcibly obtained the title of Duke, he would have the right to speak in the court and have the status of a handsome man, which would arouse suspicion instead.
What's more, he used to be Chen Ziang's immediate boss, but now that Chen Ziang was knighting him, he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
Therefore, Chen Ru is planning to completely withdraw from the court disputes, and wants to spend his old age in peace.
His daughter, Chen Xiaoyu, has already married Chen Ziang, and he only has such a daughter, so he feels that as long as Chen Ziang treats Chen Xiaoyu well, if he has another son and a half daughter, it is much better than making himself a prince.
Facing Chen Ru's request, Chen Zi'ang finally agreed, that is, he did not reward Chen Ru with a title.
"The empire can have what it is today, and the Qinghe Army can have what it is today, thanks to the old commander!"
Although Chen Ru didn't want the title reward, Chen Ziang also gave great affirmation to Chen Ru's achievements in public.
"The old man regards fame and wealth as dung, and insists on not being rewarded with a title. I admire him very much."
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, everyone also looked at Chen Ru with admiration, and Chen Ru's image suddenly became taller.
They were still worried about why Chen Ziang simply forgot the old man, but now they didn't expect that it was Chen Ru who refused the title on his own initiative.
"In order to commend the old man's achievements, I have thought hard and decided to give him three thousand pieces of cloth, one thousand acres of land, one house, and a pair of iron certificates to avoid death"
Chen Ru didn't want fame and titles, but just wanted to spend his old age peacefully, and Chen Ziang naturally fulfilled that.
Chen Ziang bestowed a large amount of money on the old man Chen Ru to clothe a house, and at the same time, he also had a pair of iron certificates to avoid death, so as to prevent anyone from targeting him in the future.
Facing Chen Ziang's kindness, Chen Ru naturally readily accepted it. After all, if he died, these things would eventually be left to his son-in-law Chen Ziang.
In addition to the veteran Chen Ru's refusal to accept the award, Shen Xiuxiu, the person in charge of the Far East Chamber of Commerce, was also unwilling to accept the award.
Shen Xiuxiu used the guise of the Far East Chamber of Commerce to collect intelligence for the Qinghe Army, which can be regarded as a great contribution.
Now the Far East Chamber of Commerce has more than 500 caravans, not to mention countless shops, it is the first-class chamber of commerce in the empire.
But no one would have thought that the person in charge of maintaining such a large chamber of commerce turned out to be a weak woman.
Facing Shen Xiuxiu's insistence on not wanting to be knighted, Chen Ziang finally had to compromise.
In order to compensate Shen Xiuxiu for his meritorious service, Chen Ziang also bestowed on the Shen family five iron certificates to avoid death, and at the same time planned to promote Shen Xiuxiu's younger brother, Shen Lian, as the head of the Ministry of Commerce.
? Chen Ziang is planning to promote Shen Lian as a trader.The head of the company, this position is second only to the chief of the Ministry of Commerce, and it can be regarded as a high position.
Of course, it's not all about Shen Xiuxiu's face, because Shen Lian himself also deserves credit.
When Li Changqing led his troops to venture deep into the enemy's rear and was active in Baishan Province, Shen Lian not only relied on the Far East Chamber of Commerce to provide information, but was also responsible for the governance and logistics of the occupied area.
It can be said that Li Changqing was able to gain a firm foothold in the Baishan Province where the Wolf Cavalry and Zhendong Army were stalemate, and contained a large number of enemies. Shen Lian also contributed a lot.
In addition to promoting Shen Lian's position, Chen Zi'ang also decided to build the Far East Chamber of Commerce into the most powerful business group in the empire, which was regarded as a reward for the Shen family's long-standing support.
Of course, these things are all later. After all, the information collected by the Far East Chamber of Commerce is something that cannot be seen, so it is not easy to talk about it openly.
If it is said now, the Far East Chamber of Commerce will probably be resisted and vigilant by various forces in the future, and it will be difficult to do anything.
After all the meritorious ministers were conferred one by one, all the faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
However, the matter did not end. Amidst the ceremonial officer's singing and drinking, Chen Zi'ang began to reward his two wives.
As the old man's woman, Chen Xiaoyu once charged in the battlefield and made great contributions to the Qinghe Army.
Chu Yue used to be in charge of the intelligence and investigation department, collecting intelligence for the Qinghe army and inquiring about the enemy's situation. She also contributed a lot.
Now these two have become Chen Ziang's wives, but they don't have an official title yet.
Therefore, Chen Ziang also used this canonization ceremony to let everyone bear witness and canonize the two wives as the queens of the empire.
Chen Ziang wants to confer the title of two queens at once, which can be said to be unprecedented.
However, Chen Ziang is now the emperor of the empire, and the civil servants and military generals have just received imperial titles and are in high spirits, so besides blessings, they are still blessings.
Amid the sound of drum music, Chen Ziang personally put on the wind crowns that symbolized the status of queens on the two wives.
Although Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue are actually mistresses, they do not have the title of queen since Chen Ziang became emperor.
Now that Chen Zi'ang personally made the two of them queens in front of everyone, and wore the wind crown, the two of them also wept with joy.
"I hope that you will unite with sincerity and respect the world, and live up to my high expectations."
Chen Ziang cast his eyes on the two graceful and luxurious queens, and also gave them earnest advice.
"The concubine obeys."
Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue also bowed profusely and agreed in unison.
Chen Ziang's canonization of the two wives as queens became the finale, and the entire canonization ceremony came to an end. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
