Chapter 681: Chapter 442: A Battle that Shocks the Heavens, Sealing the Title of Marquis Wuwei!_2
“It’s too late, save yourselves the effort. Today, the people at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau are all booked up, and all those slots for the Japanese captives are filled,”
“Old Deng, what else is there? Is there more?”
Most people were still focusing on what Old Deng had to say next, as the previous few were just interludes.
“Of course, there’s more. This ti, Chen Yuan, as the Green Envoy, glorified our nation and thwarted these Japanese, for which the Emperor himself issued a decree to bestow a noble title upon him.”
“What title?”
“It must be a high one, shouldn’t it?”
“Naturally, it’s high. The Green Envoy, Chen Yuan, was directly appointed as an Earl, with the title…”
“Excellent, excellent!”
“Now, Chen Yuan’s na is truly renowned throughout the Capital. But he deserves it. I’m not jealous; instead, I congratulate him.”
“I heard that Chen Yuan was just over twenty; he must be our youngest Earl in Great Jin. I wonder if the Emperor will grant him a Princess or sothing.”
This talk was widespread throughout Divine Capital City.
This day was indeed Chen Yuan’s most glorious day.
In every street and alley, from high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens, everyone was speaking Chen Yuan’s na.
And the impact doesn’t stop here. Yesterday’s battle will be recorded in the annals of history, especially since it involved foreign barbarians, and must be docunted.
In fact, Chen Yuan’s na was not new to the history books; he had already been ntioned when he defeated all contenders in East Sea Martial Emperor City and claid the top rank.
However, the coverage was minimal compared to this ti.
The battle of the top talents from Central Plains versus Japan had to be thoroughly docunted.
It must also highlight Emperor Jingtai’s discerning eye in choosing people, issuing the imperial order for Chen Yuan to fight, whereas he hadn’t spoken a word about those before him, only actively signaling for Chen Yuan.
And Chen Yuan did not fail the trust placed in him, so how could it be glossed over?
The historians agreed, and Emperor Jingtai would not have agreed either.
Beyond that, the civil officials were also discussing Chen Yuan’s specific title.
On that day, Emperor Jingtai had only ntioned bestowing the title of Earl on Chen Yuan, but the exact title was still for them to research and judge, after all, this was not a matter of one hour.
It had to be sanctioned by Emperor Jingtai.
And concerning this title, those discussing civil officials even had a big argunt over it.
So proposed titles like “Loyal and Brave” or “Loyal and Martial,” others suggested “Peaceful Martial,” so even proposed titles based on Chen Yuan’s hotown, “Safe,” “Nanling,” and so on and so forth.
After endless debate, a highly respected Great Scholar finally made the decision.
The title was to be Wuwei.
aning “to glorify with martial prowess”… perfectly fitting the scenario of that day.
Ultimately, this title was presented to Emperor Jingtai, who nodded in agreent.
With this, Chen Yuan beca the youngest Earl since the founding of the Great Jin.
Earl Wuwei!
…
…
Following the Imperial Decree, Chen Yuan’s position as Earl Wuwei was firmly established, and of course, Emperor Jingtai wouldn’t just grant an empty title without a domain, to make it up to Chen Yuan.
In addition to the gold he had previously ntioned, he also bestowed copious amounts of Spiritual Tea and Spiritual Wine, as well as a set of Battle Armor.
This was indeed the most valuable among the rewards.
Because this wasn’t any ordinary Armor, but Spirit Armor!
If placed on the market, it would cost at least twenty or more Primordial Crystals, but of course, Chen Yuan wouldn’t wear such a thing casually in normal tis.
He normally wore official attire.
Most of the ti, it could only remain stored within the Heavenly Book, gathering dust unless he encountered a formidable enemy and needed to wear it.
Besides the armor, Emperor Jingtai also granted him a mansion in the imnsely expensive Capital.
Previously, it was the residence of a Marquis of Great Jin, but as his status declined and he was unable to retain wealth, he ultimately had to sell it off, and later it was reclaid by the Imperial Family.
Now, this once-nondescript Marquis Mansion had beco Chen Yuan’s foothold in the Capital.
Duke Wuwei Mansion!
From then on, those of lower rank and status than him, in addition to addressing him formally, would also have to call him “My Lord Earl!”
The youngest Earl in Great Jin!
Chen, having strived for many years, had indeed beco a genuine noble of high caliber in Great Jin. While his official rank appeared unchanged, his status had invisibly risen significantly.
His title was equated with that of the four Divine Envoys of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Standing before the Duke Wuwei Mansion, adorned with red silk, Chen Yuan stayed motionlessly, gazing thoughtfully, while Tao Qingyuan by his side was sowhat bewildered; in the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan had not only beco his imdiate superior.
But had also been ennobled as an Earl.
The gap was growing ever larger…
“My Lord Earl, shall we enter the mansion?”
Tao Qingyuan chuckled lightly.
Chen Yuan solemnly nodded,
“Let’s enter the mansion!”
Inside the Duke Wuwei Mansion, besides the main residence, everything else was new. The servants and lower staff were also individuals of clean backgrounds, personally bought by Tao Qingyuan for Chen Yuan.
In total, more than a dozen people bowed to Chen Yuan:
“Greetings, My Lord Earl!”
“Greetings, My Lord Earl!”
“Greetings, My Lord Earl!”
Honestly, through that battle, Chen Yuan’s gains were considerable, not only tempering his mind but also acquiring all these riches and honors, all fought for with his very life.
Originally, Tao Qingyuan had also planned to prepare several beautiful maids to serve him.
But Chen Yuan firmly refused.
He, Earl Wuwei Chen Yuan, does not indulge in pleasures of the flesh!
Of course, fundantally, he also couldn’t trust these won randomly brought in, who knows if they were spies sent by soone?
Now, having risen to a position of high power, it was inevitable that people would want to spy on his intelligence.
Thus, he must continue to be cautious and vigilant.
Until he reached the pinnacle, he would not allow himself a mont’s relaxation.
As for his own Duke Wuwei Mansion, Chen Yuan knew little, only fully understanding it under the guidance of Tao Qingyuan, having delegated these matters to him.
