Chapter 294 Wu Zhi conferred the title of King Yan and granted the fief! Third update!

When Wu Zhi came back, the team was still quite small at the door.

In addition, the people outside the imperial city surrounded them in groups, and they also learned the news. After all, the incident of Wu Zhi defeating 200,000 rebels had already spread.

After so long, many people still talked about what the Duke of the Song Dynasty had done in teahouses, restaurants, and their relatives and friends.

Song Huizong has been in a very good mood these two months and can sleep every day. When I heard that when the traitor was 200,000, he couldn't sleep or eat every day in those days.

Even with Concubine Liu, he was still uneasy and worried that the rebels would attack Bianjing. By then, his official family would be out of place.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi is here!

At this moment, Wu Zhi was paying attention to everyone, and all the civil and military officials in the court were on the scene.

Everyone's eyes flew towards Wu Zhi, including Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Li Yan, Zeng Bu and others, but their eyes were different.

Cai Jing and the others had hatred in their eyes. After all, Wu Zhi killed Cai Jing's son and Wang Fu's son.

Zeng Bu and others were naturally very happy, and there was no need to say that Song Huizong was naturally very happy.

Song Huizong personally pulled Wu Zhi, patted Wu Zhi on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "My Duke Zhenguo is finally back!"

"Before, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were taken back by Duke Zhenguo, but such a big mess was caused under Cai Jing's management. Now Duke Zhenguo has quelled the Yanyun Rebellion and remanaged Yanyun. My Duke Zhenguo deserves the word "District"!"

In the view of Song Huizong, Wu Zhi never disappointed him, the official family.

Every time I get unexpected gains from Wu Zhi.

Song Huizong: "You only led a 50,000 army this time. I am still worried about you. You can win. This shows that the ability of the Duke of Zhenguo is much better than those ministers who can only mess with the court!"

Song Huizong also glanced at Cai Jing while speaking, and Cai Jing lowered his head honestly.

"Tell me, what dangers have you encountered along the way? What is the specific situation of Yan Yun now..."

Although Song Huizong had read the war report, it would be better if he could learn more from Wu Zhi's mouth.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Yun has completely quelled the war, and all the people live and work in peace and contentment. Many rebels have been lifted back to their fields. They now have food and have fields to plant, and their families have returned them. As long as these people have food to eat, they will not rebel in the future!"

"In addition, I have arranged a lot of credible people to manage the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. From now on, there will be no such war in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"

Wu Zhi talked a lot in a row and also talked about the battle process.

Of course, Wu Zhi talked about how dangerous it was, how hard he tried to defeat the rebels and so on.

He also talked about how dissatisfied Cai Jing's son and Yang Jian were, how evil and arrogant he had done so many bad things. In the end, Song Huizong was also indignant and scolded these corrupt officials.

"You did the right thing! It is a great blessing for us to have a person like Zhenguo Duke in the Song Dynasty. With your achievements, you can be called the God of War in the Song Dynasty!"

"Come here, come and get the pen and ink. I will personally pick up the pen for the Duke of Zhenguo!"

As the eunuch took out the pen and paper, Song Huizong wrote down several thin gold-shaped characters in the Song Dynasty God of War in public.

The font is very powerful and powerful, and it was written by Emperor Huizong of Song.

After reading it, Wu Zhi had to admire the wonderful writing of Song Huizong.

In the eyes of everyone, it is also a very high honor to be able to receive the words given to Emperor Huizong of Song.

All this can be recorded in history.

Now that Wu Zhi is present, Song Huizong feels extremely relieved.

After returning to the palace.

Song Huizong held a banquet for Wu Zhi, and all the civil and military officials were together. Song Huizong toasted Wu Zhi, and all the civil and military officials in the court followed to toast Duke Zhenguo.

Cai Jing had to do this, too.

Cai Jing was very annoyed at this moment. His son was killed by this man, and he had to toast with a smile on his face.

This is so frustrating.

He was the left prime minister of the dynasty, but he was so depressed.

Who believes this if you say it?

Everyone drank enough wine and meals, and Wu Zhi became the absolute protagonist of the banquet.

Even Emperor Huizong of Song also had a chat with Wu Zhi, and every word was inseparable from his appreciation for Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi is now in a glorious place.

It lasted for two hours before the banquet calmed down.

When everyone dispersed.

Song Huizong returned to Yanfu Palace.

But he was thinking about a question.

That is how to reward Wu Zhi. This time Wu Zhi made great contributions and always had to give some rewards.

At this moment, Song Huizong and his concubine and the queen were enjoying flowers in the back garden.

When Emperor Huizong of Song looked at the flowers and thought about this problem, he lost the pleasure of enjoying flowers.

Empress Xiansu seemed to see the emotions of Song Huizong, and asked, "Does Your Majesty have any worries? Now that Duke Zhenguo suppressed Yan Yun's rebels, shouldn't Your Majesty be happy?"

Queen Xiansu's face was full of surprise.

I don't know what Your Majesty is worried about.

Song Huizong sighed: "I am naturally happy, but I don't know how to reward Wu Zhi this time!"

"It turns out that Your Majesty is for this trouble!" Empress Xiansu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Zhi is the Grand Marshal of Wu and has the title of the Duke of Zhenguo. In fact, his status is already very high.

However, he has made many military achievements, and it is indeed a problem for Your Majesty to be rewarded. I don’t know what Your Majesty has. Maybe I can share your worries!"

Song Huizong: "Wu Zhi defeated Yanyun's rebels for me and dissolved the crisis. What I thought was that since the sixteen states of Yanyun were pacified by Wu Zhi twice, why not directly sign Wu Zhi as King of Yan and reward Yanyun's fiefdom, so that I can be worthy of his contributions!"

"Without Wu Zhi, Yan Yun is still in chaos at this moment!"

Hearing this, Queen Xiansu was stunned: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Oh?" Song Huizong asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong with it? Or is this reward incompetence?"

Empress Xiansu said: "Your Majesty, in terms of credit, Wu Zhi can naturally be the King of Yan, but Your Majesty cannot do this. Your Majesty forgot that the surrounding areas of our Song Dynasty are not peaceful now. Will the Song Dynasty also have to deal with the Jin and Liao Kingdoms in the future?"

"Have your Majesty ever thought that if the Jin and Liao Kingdoms could only settle the matter, Wu Zhi would have to settle it. When he eliminated these two countries, what should Your Majesty reward him at that time?"

"this……"

This question stopped Song Huizong.

Since ancient times, when there is no one to appreciate, many emperors have no choice but to go to extremes and kill those who cannot be rewarded.

This is a problem.

Although Emperor Huizong of Song didn't think so, he felt that what Empress Xiansu said was somewhat reasonable.

How should we reward the Jin and Liao Kingdoms in the future?

Song Huizong thought about it and although he felt a headache, he obviously did not obey Queen Xiansu's words: "Does Yan Yun be rewarded after he keeps it? I don't think it's appropriate.

Wu Zhi made such a great contribution, so he must have a suitable reward. Otherwise, what should the people in the world think of me?

I think King Yan is good.

Forget it, let’s talk about the future! I have decided, just do it like this!"

"Your Majesty!..." Empress Xiansu wanted to say something, but Song Huizong directly reached out and stopped him: "I have decided!"

Queen Xiansu sighed, she felt that if His Majesty continued like this, what should Wu Zhi have when he was rewarded?

What will the people in the world say?

But these Queen Xiansu didn't know how.

Everything has to be developed in the future. Maybe it may be sacrificed in the war between Wu Zhi and the Jin and Liao Kingdoms. In this way, this problem will naturally not exist.

When I went to court the next day.

Li Yan announced the imperial edict.

At the beginning, Li Yan said a lot of high-sounding words, but in the end he was the main body. The general meaning was that Wu Zhi, Duke of Zhenguo, made great contributions to suppressing Yan Yun's rebels. This time, he saved the Song Dynasty court and suppressed Yan Yun, which made great contributions.

The reward was announced later.

"Given the Duke of Zhenguo Wu Zhi, 3,000 gold, 5,000 cloth, and Taoyuan Garden in Bianjing..."

The rewards are worth more than 3,000 taels of gold, cloth, various antiques and other things. The gold alone is worth more than 3,000 taels.

In addition, Song Huizong also rewarded a Wujinyuan in Bianjing.

Li Yan paused for a moment, and then continued: "Because Duke Zhenguo has made great contributions, I specially awarded Duke Zhenguo the honorary title of God of War in the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun twice, ignored his life to save the crisis in the Song Dynasty, and finally successfully defeated the rebels. I am very pleased that I specially enthroned Wu Zhi as... King of Yan! The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are divided into the territory of the King of Yan. The King of Yan will continue to remain in Bianjing and serve the Song Dynasty. I respect this!"

What!!! As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the court were shocked!

This time Wu Zhi received a reward of money and honorary titles.

This is just a matter of fact.
