The best ring

"Minister, I accept your order!" Li Yang bowed.

In fact, Li Yang, like the old emperor, did not take the rebel forces too seriously. In his mind, those people did not even have many weapons and were not trained, and they were not even soldiers. If they had not wanted to gain military merits and compete with the civil service group before, the rebel forces might have been suppressed long ago, and would not have developed to this point.

The enemy in Li Yang's mind was only the demon army, and now the demon army invaded. For the people, it was definitely not a good thing, but for him as a soldier, it was a time to make achievements, which was not a bad thing.

His Majesty had conferred a soldier of the grain transport team as a baron some time ago, which gave Li Yang great hope. He was now an earl. As long as he made more military merits, it was not impossible for His Majesty to give him a higher title with the current mentality of His Majesty.

"Anything else to report?" asked the old emperor.

At this time, a man walked out of the civil servants' team, saluted the old emperor, and said, "I have something to report!"

"What is it?"

"Some time ago, your majesty awarded a captain of a grain transport team the status of a baron. I think this is inappropriate!" The minister said, "As a captain, that person has the responsibility to kill the enemy and serve the court. It is his duty to capture the leader of the rebel army. For this, he is awarded the status of a baron. I think this reward is too heavy."

"I second the motion!"

Another civil servant stood up and said, "Your majesty appreciates his bravery and can reward him with more money. There is no need to reward him with a title. Baron is such a noble status. In our dynasty, only those who have made great contributions to the court can be granted a title. The contribution made by that captain is not enough to be awarded a title."

"I second the motion!"

After that person, another civil servant stood up and bowed.

Then, five or six civil officials came out to second this matter. It was obvious that they had discussed it and were ready to attack at the same time today. They didn't even know Wu Fan's name. It was not aimed at Wu Fan, but at this matter. They didn't want His Majesty to reward officials in the military system, and it was a title, the most honorable reward.

"I don't think what you said is right." A military general stood up and said: "Although that man is a small captain, he is not afraid of the strong enemy, and he can turn the tide in desperate situations and capture the enemy leader. It is because of his performance that the situation on the scene has changed. Otherwise, their grain transport team may die on the way like other grain transport teams."

"Yes, I think there is no problem with your majesty's reward. With such a reward, others can be more brave to kill the enemy and establish merit when facing the enemy." Another military general said.

Here it comes again, here it comes again!

The old emperor felt his eyebrows twitching all the time. He was holding back his anger. He knew that the fight between the people at the scene had nothing to do with the captain, but the collision between the two groups again.

The reason why the old emperor gave Wu Fan the status of a baron was indeed because he hoped that others could kill the enemy as bravely as Wu Fan. Now the court was facing internal and external troubles. If there were more people like Wu Fan, the crisis of Yanfeng Country would be much smaller, and even completely solved. If the reward of the title could change the current situation, the old emperor would not mind rewarding more.

However, the people at the scene only knew how to fight each other, which disappointed the old emperor.

"Don't say anything!" The old emperor said. He knew that if he didn't say anything, the scene would turn into a more intense quarrel: "I have already decided on this matter, and the decree has been issued. Do you want me to slap yourself in the face?"

The people of the military group looked at the civil officials with some pride. The civil officials were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"As long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly. It is not impossible to promote you to a higher position, give you a wife and children." The old emperor continued.

Sure enough, the ministers on the scene were slightly excited. Promotion, giving you a wife and children, these are their greatest pursuits as officials. Now, they are facing domestic and foreign troubles in Yanfeng, and it seems that it is time to make contributions.

"Okay, today's morning court is over, and we will leave!" said the old emperor, and with the help of the eunuchs beside him, he left the dragon throne.

The ministers knelt down and saluted.

When he walked to the back of the hall, he could not see the ministers. The majesty on the old emperor's face disappeared, replaced by fatigue and worry.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, you should pay more attention to rest." The big eunuch on the side said.

"Rest? Do you think I don't want to rest? But there are so many things inside and outside the court, and no one can share the burden for me. Everyone only knows how to intrigue. How can you let me rest?" said the old emperor.

The eunuch didn't dare to interrupt casually about such matters involving state affairs, and just lowered his head.

"My sons are also useless! I really don't know what will happen to the country when it is handed over to them in the future." The old emperor continued.

"The third prince is not bad." The eunuch said casually.

"Hmm?" The old emperor stopped immediately and looked at the eunuch sharply, without any trace of fatigue just now: "You are very close to the third prince?"

"No, I dare not!" The eunuch was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, his face pale.

"Go down, and don't appear in front of me again." The old emperor said.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never say anything more. I won't, I won't, please forgive me this time." The eunuch kept kowtowed. Although they were all eunuchs, they were different. Those who served the emperor naturally had more power and lived better than other eunuchs. If they were away from the emperor, they would be just ordinary eunuchs and it would be difficult for them to survive in the palace.

However, the old emperor ignored him and turned away. If it weren't for the fact that this eunuch had followed him for many years, he would have ordered him to be executed. How could an eunuch discuss the throne casually?

The old emperor also knew that as he got older, the princes' ideas about the throne became stronger and stronger. They wanted to get that position through various means, and winning over some ministers and eunuchs to speak for them was also one of the means.

However, the old emperor obviously had his own ideas. He did not want the people around him to be involved in this matter and thus affect his judgment.
