The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 311 Commendation Conference
On the first day of December in the 24th year of Tai'an, the sky was fine.

Inside the palace and outside Yong'an Gate, a large number of officials gathered here.

Today's Great Court Meeting will be held in the Yong'an Hall, so the officials are waiting outside the Yong'an Gate.

As three drums sounded from inside the palace gate, the civil and military officials immediately stopped chatting, and then stood up in order.

After a while, Dianyizheng Ma Baokun walked out of the palace gate, stood on the steps and looked down, and said loudly: "Ascension to the imperial court!"

It has to be said that there are more and more places where Prince Yong's Mansion has overstepped, and it is an emperor's ritual to ascend to the imperial court.

But everyone doesn't care about it.

Because Zhao Yanxun has proved by facts that he is the chosen one, even if he proclaims himself emperor, he has extremely high legitimacy.

The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Yanxun can prove that he is the son of heaven, can the emperor of the capital?
Of course, no one would think about these now, Yuanyang and the capital are too far apart.

Following Ma Baokun's shout, the officials lined up and entered the Yong'an Gate neatly. In front of them was the Yong'an Hall towering on the platform.

On both sides of Danbi outside the main hall, there are well-equipped front guard soldiers. At this moment, they all stand solemnly with swords in their hands.

In the latest round of recruitment, Dianqianwei has also been expanded, and now the total number has reached more than 100.

Lin Dagui and Zhang Meng each led about [-] people and had five small banner officers under them, but they still called them General Banner.

At this moment, Lin Dagui and Zhang Meng were standing outside Yong'an Hall with arms crossed, their eyes scanning the officials entering the hall like torches.

The tall palace and the murderous guards, these two alone put great pressure on the civil and military officials.

The officials lowered their heads and quickly entered the main hall, where everyone stood separately.

On both sides of the main hall, female musicians have been placed this time, and it is obvious that they will play music later.

This is also based on the setting of the imperial palace. During the Great Court Meeting and other important seasons, a band will be set up in the Huangji Hall.

At this moment, the throne on the top of the main hall is empty, obviously Zhao Yanxun has not arrived yet.

The civil and military officials were all solemn, and everyone waited for Zhao Yanxun's appearance without saying a word.

A few minutes later, the officials tensed up when they heard footsteps coming from behind the hall.

Zhao Yanxun, dressed in Tuanlong robe and Yishan crown, slowly stepped onto the throne.

After he was seated, Huo An shouted loudly: "Ascension to court!"

"Your Majesty waits to kowtow to His Highness!"

"Excuse me, gentlemen!"

A group of officials stood up and lined up to wait for Zhao Yanxun to speak.

"Zhu Qing, Tai'an has been in 24 years, and there is only one month left to pass..."

"A lot happened this year, we encountered many dangers and difficulties, but in the end we got through it together!"

Having said that, the officials below are already thinking about what happened in the past year. As those who have experienced this difficult time, they deeply understand the difficulty of this year.

The changes in the past year are more than the sum of what they have encountered in their entire lives.

It can be said that the universe is hanging upside down, and the people are dying...

Fortunately, there is the palace and His Royal Highness King Yong.

"In this extraordinary year, we have made great achievements, and many role models have emerged during this period!"

"This king has always distinguished rewards and punishments. Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded with serious injuries, so as to encourage those who come later!"

Immediately, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Huo An and said, "Let's announce the edict!"

Huo An picked up a written edict from the tray held by the little eunuch beside him.

"Great King's Edict..."

Next, Huo An read out the imperial edict aloud, which mentioned the civil and military officials who had received awards.

First of all, there are two chief historians of the palace. All the affairs of the palace are handled by them. There have been basically no mistakes in the past six months, which is a great achievement.

In addition to the chief minister of the palace, there are also officials in charge of production and transshipment of materials, and those who perform well have been awarded.

After rewarding these civil servants, the military officials will follow.

The first ones to be rewarded are the four guards and hundreds of households. They have fought all the tough battles in the past half a year, and naturally they have contributed the most to the expansion of the territory.

Next, there are two privy envoys.

Military officials should also be affirmed for their contributions to the allocation of armaments, rations, and intelligence analysis and campaign planning.

The one who came down to receive the reward was Cui Xing'an, deputy Qianhu.

Cui Xing'an has proved that soldiers and horses can fight tough battles. Zhao Yanxun regards him as a model for the whole army and calls on the whole army to learn from him. At this time, it is natural to push him out.

After being pointed out, Cui Xing'an knelt on the main hall, kowtowed and said: "I thank you, Lord Long En!"

Cui Xing'an was the last to be commended, and the other thousand households and deputy thousand households had no share, and the comparison was not weak.

Of course, Zhao Yanxun has absolute authority, and no one dares to show dissatisfaction at this moment.

In today's commendation meeting, even if the first agenda item is over, the second agenda item will follow immediately.

Earlier, Zhao Yanxun asked the Privy Council to select small banner officers with outstanding military exploits.

At that time, the given quota was 30 people. Later, the remaining three counties were taken down, and the system opened up more promotion quotas, so Zhao Yanxun increased the promotion quota to 72 people.

At this moment, outside the main hall, there are 42 small flag officers and [-] soldiers waiting.

The small flag officers and soldiers in this play are the result of the selection of the best in the army. After being promoted, they will definitely go to the next level and play a better leading role.

In fact, upgrading the officers and soldiers of the Bingma Division is not only to reward their meritorious service, but also to show that they value them.

More soldiers will be needed in the future, but the number of upgrades is very limited, so the construction of soldiers and horses is particularly important.

Under Majesty Dan, the little flag officers and soldiers who lined up walked up the steps one after another after hearing the eunuch's edict from His Majesty Dan.

Standing outside the main hall, everyone was very excited, but they all maintained a strict military appearance.

Soon, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the hall.

The 72 officers and soldiers all knelt down, saluted and said: "I will see you, my lord!"

"You are all loyal, have made many contributions, and are worthy of great responsibilities. Today, the king bestows on you the power of martial arts and martial arts. I hope you will do your best and follow the king to sweep away the troubled times!"

This sentence has become a cliché, and Zhao Yanxun will say it every time someone upgrades.

"Your Majesty's instruction, ministers, please remember it!"

Immediately, Zhao Yanxun took the Meteorite Iron Saber awarded to him by the system from Lin Quan, and came to one of the small flag officers.

Picking up the scabbard and pointing it at this person's head, Zhao Yanxun silently said the word "upgrade".

"Give you the power of martial arts, and you can sweep away the troubled times with your loneliness!"

"Ding, the upgrade is complete, and you have obtained a first-level sword and shield soldier!"

At this stage, Zhao Yanxun is upgrading to sword and shield soldiers, and fighting zombies is mostly close combat, so it is most suitable to upgrade to sword and shield soldiers.

After upgrading the first one, followed by the second and third...

A mysterious feeling, blending physically and mentally with a group of small flag officers and soldiers, giving them a feeling of being reborn.

But at this moment in the main hall, a group of civil and military ministers once again witnessed the sanctity of Zhao Yanxun, such a talent is the real destiny.

After the upgrade was completed, someone yelled, "His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"

Immediately afterwards, all the kneeling soldiers and flag officers on Danchi shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, Long Live!"

"His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"
