Capítulo 1528: Chapter 1529 King of Peace
Su Chengyu sat on the Dragon Chair, first accepting the kneeling of the officials below before speaking a few words to convey the idea that the soldiers had crushed Chilin and returned victorious, which greatly pleased him, and that he would assess rits and bestow rewards.
The first to be granted an honor was An Jing.
Only the eunuch could be heard, holding the imperial edict, loudly declaring, “General An is proficient in both civil and military affairs, having achieved countless rits. Before becoming an official, she did many things beneficial to the people. During her ti as an Agricultural Official, she did even more, greatly benefiting the masses. After crushing Chilin, her achievents are undeniable. Therefore, she is bestowed the title of King of Peace, and she can forego formalities when eting the Emperor and the Kings, hoping for peace in Xiyun for generations.”
Regarding being bestowed the title ‘King of Peace’, An Jing received a letter from Su Chengyu on her way back to the Imperial Capital, which ntioned this matter, so at this mont, An Jing was not at all surprised.
Others, however, were quite astonished. It should be known that in history, no woman had ever been granted a king’s title.
However, everyone thought that Su Chengyu had always been so daring in leading the way for the world, first strongly recomnding An Jing, a woman, to beco an official, and then allowing won to join the military… and so on. Therefore, everyone was only surprised for a mont before accepting it. In any case, opposing it would be useless, so it’s better to accept it.
Furthermore, An Jing’s rits were indeed significant, and besides the fact that An Jing was a woman, there was no reason against bestowing her the title of King of Peace.
Moreover, An Jing was already a Queen, so this was just another title as a king from a different family na. They could accept it, really they could.
Next, Qi Tengfei was granted the title Marquis of Zhongyong, Liu Buli the title Duke of Righteous Valor, Qiao Shouye beca General of Eternal Peace, ng Lanqing beca General of Eternal Stability, ng Zhuqing beca General of Eternal Prosperity, Qi Gaoda beca General of Benevolence and Justice, and Qi Weing beca General of Righteous Benevolence.
Du Aya and Li Wuyu beca Deputy Generals; Su Chengyuan, Shi Shi, and Tobanya beca Chiliarchs; Baoqin, Lie Qi, Ting Shu, Shi Hua, and Liu Feifei beca Centurions.
Because Liu Feifei identified the enemy’s spy, performing a noteworthy deed, she was also granted the title of County Princess.
And so on.
Qiao Shouye never thought he could beco a Great General in his lifeti, and his elderly eyes turned red at once.
Basically, all those who contributed to the conquest of Xi Lin were promoted and titled, except for Ye Zhi, Gong Juechen, and Gong Juese, who were not promoted or titled but received many rewards.
It can be said that the rewards they received were more than what others received combined.
Because of this, no one found any issues within them.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi felt a bit troubled. Su Chengyu still did not trust Gong Juechen, and even Ye Zhi was implicated, receiving only rewards without any promotion.
If Ye Zhi had not been implicated, she would surely have been given a general’s title like Qi Gaoda and the others.
Ye Zhi herself didn’t mind; she was just used to life in the military, and whether or not she beca a general didn’t matter to her.
Gong Juechen actually anticipated that Su Chengyu wouldn’t allow Ye Zhi to beco a general. After all, Ye Zhi was to return to the Capital to marry him, and their relationship had never been hidden, so such a thing could not escape Su Chengyu, the Emperor’s, knowledge. But now, seeing that Ye Zhi only received rewards and was not given a general’s title, Gong Juechen still felt sowhat dissatisfied in his heart.
Feeling even more distressed for his future wife.
His Zhizhi had risked her life for Xiyun so many tis, even nearly dying, and yet, because of him, Su Chengyu would not give his Zhizhi a general’s title.
Though a small general’s title was nothing in his eyes, for Su Chengyu to be so unfair to his Zhizhi indeed aggrieved him.
