“This lowly official will definitely make His Majesty die.”

“Minister Yuan, what do you think of the war in the northeast?” Emperor Yuan jing asked.

“Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!” Yuan Xiong said in a clear voice.

The next day, the court Assembly was held as usual.

The Imperial court had been actively discussing the aftermath over the past three days, but the officials all knew that the real show had not begun.

This battle, which was called assisting the demon barbarians and attacking the witchcraft cult, had to be determined.

Only after determining the nature could they announce it to the world and give the world an explanation. The historians also had to know how to start writing, whether to praise or to attack.

Yuan jing had been dragging things out, but some of the more observant old foxes in the officialdom had already figured out something in the past few days.

His Majesty was waiting for someone to voice out a different opinion.

However, this was, after all, a taboo, and the first person to do it would be cursed.

Which civil official didn’t cherish their own feathers?

This matter was different from ordinary party disputes. If you screwed it up, you would be branded as a treacherous official at any moment. Then, you would be cleared out, demoted, or expelled, and even be recorded in the history books.

The sky was still dark, and the Lords entered through the side door of the meridian Gate one by one, crossing the Golden water Bridge and entering the throne room.

The Golden Dragon candles were arranged in rows, and the light from the candles illuminated the magnificent Hall.

Everyone entered the hall and waited for a quarter of an hour. Emperor Yuan jing, dressed in a yellow robe, slowly walked in.The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

After the Emperor and officials discussed the post-war matters, the Minister of

Revenue stepped out and said,

“Your Majesty, the matter of compensation can not be delayed any longer. Please give an explanation to the people of the world and the families of the fallen soldiers as soon as possible.”

This time, Emperor Yuan jing didn’t avoid the topic. He looked down at the court officials and said slowly, “”What do you all think?”

The censor Zhang xingying stepped out and said, Your Majesty, Lord Wei has conquered the headquarters of the witchcraft cult and destroyed Jingshan city.

Majesty to confer Lord Wei the title of first-class Duke of Wei and establish

Zhongwu.

This was definitely the highest honor after Emperor Wu Zong.

First class Duke of Wei was the highest rank.

“Loyal martial” was the highest title of a general.

After all, Wei Yuan was not a scholar from the imperial examination and had no official title. Otherwise, Zhang xingying would have asked for the title of ” Wen Zheng.

The officials in the court looked at each other, but they did not refute, which was rare. This included their former political enemies.

If it was in the past, the Civil officials would have jumped out and slapped him in the face.

But now, there was no need to.

First of all, Wei Yuan’s achievements were worthy of this glory. Secondly, a person’s death was like the extinguishing of a lamp. So what if they gave him a name behind his back? wouldn’t it just show the magnanimity of officials who were born as Orthodox scholars?

The officials of the Wei party stepped out one after another, agreeing with Zhang xingying.

Emperor Yuan jing didn’t say a word. He glanced at the right imperial censor Yuan Xiong, who understood his meaning and stepped out of the ranks, saying loudly, ‘

“Nonsense. Zhang xingying and the others are spouting nonsense. Your

Majesty, you must not be bewitched by these treacherous officials.”

There was a small uproar in the hall, and the Dukes tactically leaned back, wondering what this guy was up to again.

Emperor Yuan jing was also very unhappy. He frowned and said,

“Why do you say that, Minister Yuan? Wei Yuan is my God of War. He sacrificed his life for the country and was my trusted aide. It’s only right to be conferred a title of nobility.”

“Your Majesty!”

Wei Yuan! Yuan Xiong shouted. Wei Yuan’s death is not to be regretted. He’s a reckless man who brings disaster to the country and its people, not a hero.

“You bastard!”

The Imperial censor of the left, Liu Hong, was furious.

Like the Minister of War, he was a core member of the Wei faction. Zhang xingying was also his subordinate.

Pa!

Liu Hong’s angry rebuke was met with the old eunuch’s even louder whipping and scolding, “”Don’t be noisy.”

With someone backing him up, Yuan Xiong did not panic at all. He ignored the cold, hostile, or teasing gazes of the other Dukes and said emotionally,

that’s right. Wei Yuan did take down the witchcraft cult’s headquarters, which is unprecedented in history. Just based on this alone, Wei Yuan’s crime is hard to record.

Zhang xingying squinted his eyes and sneered,

“It’s a crime to attack the witchcraft cult’s headquarters? Your Majesty, Yuan Xiong has colluded with the witchcraft religion and committed treason. Please behead this dog.”

Yuan Xiong wasn’t afraid at all as he snorted,

“The purpose of the Army is to help the demon barbarians and stop the witch God religion’s ambition of annexing the Northern Territory. However, look at what Wei Yuan has done. He led the Army to the headquarters of the witch God religion, Jing Mountain City, and caused more than 80000 of my soldiers to die in foreign lands.

“Wei Yuan is clearly acting for his own selfish reasons. He’s only causing such a huge loss because of greed. Your Majesty, there are more than 80000 soldiers. They have parents to take care of and children to take care of.

“Because of Wei Yuan’s greed for merit, many soldiers died in a foreign land.

How can such a person who brings disaster to the country be conferred a title? How can you lose your title, Zhongwu?

The king’s party’s Qian Qingshu stepped out to refute, ”

“Yuan Xiong, don’t spout nonsense and delude the public with your lies. Was there a better way to help the Barbarian demons and make the witchcraft cult withdraw their troops than to attack the headquarters? After Wei Yuan took down the headquarters, Jingguo immediately retreated. This was the best proof.

moreover, casualties are inevitable on the battlefield. It’s the first time we’ve attacked the headquarters of the witchcraft cult. How can you slander us? ‘

Yuan Xiong chuckled and said,”slander?” If they wanted to force the Jing country to withdraw their troops, there were plenty of ways to do so. Was taking down the fire Country more difficult than taking down Jing Mountain City? Was it more difficult to take down the capital of the Jing Kingdom than to take down Jingshan city?

“Wei Yuan is an expert in military tactics, so he should know these principles. However, he chose Jingshan city, which led to the complete annihilation of the 100000-strong Army.

“Why? He just wants to be the first in history and leave his name in history..”
