The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 602 Commendation Conference 2
(Everyone, don’t you have any tickets yet?)

Snowflakes were falling outside, Zhao Yanxun took a chariot sedan, escorted by more than a dozen guards, and rushed all the way to the school grounds.

"Great expensive..."

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's exchange, Lin Dagui, who was walking in front, immediately turned around and said, "The minister is here!"

"Do you know Hu Dabiao?"

I only heard Lin Dagui reply: "Reporting to the lord, he and the minister are both guards of the Imperial Army, and we have known each other since we were in the capital!"

"This guy has a bad temper. Generally, a superior can't suppress him. Recently, he has become more honest under Wang Zong's hands, but he is still frivolous and aggressive..."

Lin Dagui replied: "My lord, he has such a bad temper!"

Taking the official hat from Huo An, who was accompanying him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "A violent temper is also afraid of being tortured. You have a calm personality... You are not inferior to him in terms of qualifications. How about assigning him to be the general banner under your command?"

To be honest, Lin Dagui didn't want to cause these troubles, but he just couldn't refuse.

"The minister takes orders!"

I only heard Zhao Yanxun continue to say: "Gu intends to select a group of elite and loyal soldiers from these forbidden troops who surrendered in a few months, and you will be the commander to lead them. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lin Dagui understood that Hu Dabiao came here not to temper his temper, but to let him take over his position.

Going out from the front of the palace to serve as a commander is undoubtedly a high promotion, but it is far away from the center of power.

Just listen to Lin Dagui's answer: "I listen to the prince's order, because I am afraid that I am not capable enough, and I will disappoint the prince's high expectations!"

Zhao Yanxun said with a smile: "Gu believes in you!"

It is very necessary to set up a new guard post. The upgraded soldiers are simply not enough, and the mobility of the local guard post is also insufficient. Zhao Yanxun's troops in the second county of Longyou North are actually stretched.

This time, in response to the southward invasion of the imperial guards, Zhao Yanxun mobilized [-]% of the palace's combat power to go north, and the south was protected by the local guards, and only Wang Yu guarded Zhenxiguan.

When they talked here, the conversation ended.

Soon the chariot sedan entered the school grounds, and finally stopped at the east side of the high platform. Zhao Yanxun got up and got off the sedan chair. At this moment, the musicians played peaceful music.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun stepping up to the high platform, the "common people" behind were all very excited.

Seeing that some people were already moving around, the etiquette officer who maintained order quickly reminded: "Don't kneel...don't kneel now!"

"Forget what I told you just now? Listen to me!"

While speaking, Zhao Yanxun had already sat down on Zhao Yanxun's high platform, and the music also stopped at this moment.

The scene was quiet and solemn, and a courtesy officer came to the front and shouted loudly: "Your Highness is seated...Kneel!"

With the words of the ritual officer, everyone at the scene knelt on the ground, and then shouted: "Kowtow to Your Highness!"

"rise!"

Everyone at the scene stood up, and the two groups of ministers standing in front adjusted their teams to stand facing each other, leaving the middle empty.

I have to say that it was very cold to stand in this icy and snowy place, so everyone at the scene was shivering with cold.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun said: "The New Year will be in a few days, and this year is not easy for everyone..."

"Soldiers fight on the front line, fighting to the death..."

"The common people and artisans under the rule of the palace work day and night to support the operation of the various departments of the palace..."

This is Zhao Yanxun's opening remarks, and of course it is also his sincere words. Everyone under the jurisdiction of the palace has credit.

"There are more than 20 soldiers and civilians in Longyou, all of whom have made contributions, and all of you here today... are the best among them!"

"You are the meritorious officials of the palace. This king has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. Since you have made meritorious service, you must reward them heavily..."

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

Huo An nodded yes, he turned around and took the edict from the eunuch, and then walked forward.

Huo Anlang said in a loud voice: "All craftsmen, households and peasants come forward to receive the imperial edict!"

The craftsmen and the common people were the first to be sealed. This was discussed in advance, so at this moment several ceremony officials led them forward.

Everyone came to the front, kneeled on the ground under the instruction of the ceremony officer, and kowtowed to Zhao Yanxun on the high platform.

The officer of ceremonies shouted loudly in front: "All artisans, households and farmers receive the edict..."

Huo An spread out the imperial edict and read: "The imperial edict..."

"I have heard that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded for a long time, and those who work hard will be rewarded for hard work..."

"That's why calling you is like this, and the palace rewards you for your merits..."

Huo An read for a long time before he began to pronounce the names of the people who were commended.

After reading the list of rewards, it took a total of more than four minutes before and after, and Huo An's throat was almost smoldering.

Clearing his throat, he had to finish reading the remaining few sentences.

"You have meritorious service, reward one stone of grain, and distribute two batches..."

Money is not very useful, and food supplies are hard currency, and everyone has received a relatively generous reward.

"All the rewards have been distributed to the governments of various prefectures and counties, and you can receive them with the book of honor..."

"Conferment..."

The so-called book of honor is the certificate of honor produced by Zhao Yanxun, which has been used before.

The food and cloth can be used up, but the honor can be kept forever with certificates, which can be used to motivate others to work hard.

After reading the two words of the conferment book, the eunuchs on the left and right came out of the four sides, and came to the front of the team with trays.

The few ceremony officials in front immediately got up and awarded books to these people in the name of Zhao Yanxun, and the latter kowtowed to thank them according to the instruction.

One hundred copies of the brochures were distributed quickly, and these people were full of joy, and were led back to their original places by the ceremony officer.

Next, Huo An began to read out the second edict, which was specially rewarding the sergeants present.

Under the command of the officer, a group of sergeants were brought to the front, and the whole process was similar to the one just now.

Huo An read out the edict of commendation, and finally finished reading the list of recipients.

The rewards for the sergeants are the same as those of the previous group, which are food and necessary supplies. After all, even the most powerful soldiers have to support their families.

Standing in the queue, listening to the rewards he can get, Hu Xiaolin is already thinking about bringing them all home after today's holiday, as a surprise for his wife and husband's family.

It has to be said that after getting rid of the burden and starting a new life, Hu Xiaolin's life has become more and more hopeful.

"I would like to thank Your Highness Long En..."

As everyone kowtowed, today's main ceremony was over, and it took less than 15 minutes.

After the sergeants were brought back to their normal state, Zhao Yanxun stood up, looked at the crowd in front of him with his arms around him, and said, "Masters... the rewards for you today are for your achievements in the past year!"

"But in two days' time, the new year will come, and the whole palace will start a new journey. I hope you will make new achievements in the new year. In the coming year... this king will still be here, and give thanks to those who have made meritorious deeds." Scholars Awards Booklet!"

Under the excited eyes of the soldiers and civilians below, Zhao Yanxun's tone became more impassioned: "My lords... as long as you work hard, your life will be better under the leadership of the palace!"

Having said that, Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, and he made a gesture with Huo An, who immediately notified the etiquette officer ahead.

"The ceremony is over, and I will send you off to Your Highness..."

Zhao Yanxun walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, and everyone at the scene knelt down and bowed to the ground, shouting "Respectfully, Your Highness".

When Zhao Yanxun got into the chariot sedan chair, the soldiers in the county town shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yong, long live..."

"His Royal Highness King Yong, long live..."

This sentence, they all shouted before the roll call in training and before eating, it can be said that it has been engraved into the bones of the soldiers.

As they shouted, it appeared that the common people also shouted "Long live", and the atmosphere in the school grounds suddenly became more lively.
