Chapter 1090: Dark Tide

"I will say something before rewarding the meritorious people." Wu Shun raised his hand and pressed it quietly, and the Fengshan stage suddenly became silent.

Everyone in the audience was looking forward to it, but they didn't know what Wu Shun would announce next.

"I appointed Cao Cao as the general of Shu Kingdom's expedition to the west, and from now on, we will go west to fight against the unjust officials!"

Wu Shun's words were like pacifying thunder, because no one realized that Cao Cao would be named General of Shu. And on such an important occasion, he would be given priority.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao was out in military uniform and thanked him. The onlookers looked incredibly. Cao Cao, one of the former heroes, had become a member of Shu Kingdom. What is even more puzzling is that His Majesty the Emperor really dared to use it.

"I am here to wish the Western Expedition Army invincible and return victoriously!" Wu Shundao.

"I wish the army of the Western Expedition a triumphant return!..."

When Shu Kingdom was officially established, a large army marched to the west. People spontaneously shouted out their wishes. No matter who Cao Cao was before, he was now the general of Shu Kingdom's western expedition. This reason was enough.

After announcing the Western Expedition, the enthusiasm of the ministers under the Fengshan stage remained unabated. They knew that the next point was the key point, and the Emperor of Shu wanted to reward the ministers.

"Where is Zhang Xiong?"

Sure enough, Wu Shun directly benefited Zhang Xiong, who was the most prestigious in the army.

"Your Majesty, the last one is here!"

Usually, Zhang Xiong calls Wu Shun the eldest brother, but when he feels the different atmosphere today, Zhang Xiong dares not be too casual.

"Zhang Xiong, you are my kind brother, and you have risen from the end of your life. You have experienced countless battles of all sizes and big and small. You are loyal and have great achievements. Today you are specially granted the title of Duke of the People's Republic of China!"

Wu Shun put down the edict in his hand, took it by the free servant, and handed it over to Zhang Xiong under the Fengshan Stage.

Directly enfeoffed the Duke!

It is understandable that Zhang Xiong's achievements were rewarded like this, but the ministers were still shocked and directly conferred the title of Duke. In the future, Zhang Xiong would have another military merit and would face a situation where there was no title or reward.

This situation is dangerous!

"What's wrong? Are you very surprised? Why did I directly conferred a title of Duke?" Wu Shun couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the audience silence.

"Tell you, the achievements of some of you are completely enough to be crowned with a king!"

This sentence shocked the hearts of the ministers. Could it be that Your Majesty really have the intention to be the king? Many ministers thought of this.

"Zhang Xiong, why don't you thank me?" Wu Shun shouted.

"Zhang Xiong thanks His Majesty for his kindness!"

Zhang Xiong knelt down directly. He knew that his elder brother was good to him, so he endured the Duke of Protecting the Country. His loyalty to Shu and his elder brother was a testament to the sun and the moon.

"Where is Xu Shu?" Wu Shun called out another name.

"Your Majesty, my uncle Xu Shu is here."

Xu Shu went out to the streets.

"Xu Shu, you have followed me since Chenxi. As a counselor, you have made every decision. As the commander, you are invincible. Now you are specially appointed as Duke Zhenguo of Shu!"

After Wu Shun finished speaking, Xu Shu knelt down and thanked him. The reward he discussed was not like this. Xu Shu didn't know why Wu Shun wanted to increase the reward level and treatment.

However, now the emperor gave the Duke of Zhenguo, he could only accept it.

"Dongfangqiang!"

"The last one will be here!"

Wu Shun ordered Dongfang Qiang, and all the civil officials and military generals watched quietly. They wanted to know if another duke-level figure would appear.

"Dongfangqiang, you followed me from Yunling to start a business. For more than ten years, you have been doing your best. After taking the position of General of the Suzaku Legion, you are invincible. You have won the title of an unbeaten general. You have won the title of Wuling Army. Today, you are specially awarded the title of Third Class Duke!"

"Thank you, your Majesty!"

Dongfang Qiang knelt down and thanked him. Strictly speaking, he was just a general, and being able to be awarded a third-class duke is already a very high honor. You should know that the Suzaku Legion fought with Wu Shun most of the time, and some of their contributions were to be distributed to the emperor Wu Shun.

Another public level, the ministers had already felt Wu Shun's love for them. The previous few people were rewarded so heavily. When they came to them, they could not be granted a title of a public official, and it was still fine for most people to be granted a title of a marquis.

"Wenpin...third-class official!"

"Wei Yan...third-class duke!"

"Zhao Yun...the third-class duke!"

"Ma Chao...third-class man!"

"Huang Zhong...Marquis Ting!"

"Gao Shun...Marquis Ting!"

"Zhang Liao... Marquis Ting!"

"Zhang Ren...Marquis Ting!"

"Yan Yan..."

"Zhang Xiu..."

“…”

Under the Fengshan Stage, Wu Shun took an hour to read the reward order, and basically everyone took care of it.

The heads of each legion are third-class dukes or above, and the deputy generals and important generals are all granted marquis! Other middle and lower-level generals are not qualified to be written in the edict for the time being.

Just when the ministers thought the reward was over and the ceremony was over, Wu Shun threw another bombshell.

"Anyone who expands the land in the mountains can be granted a title of marquis! Those who expand land for ten thousand miles can be granted a title of Duke! Those who expand land for more than ten thousand miles can be granted a title of king! Those who expand land for ten thousand miles can establish a country and a alliance with Shu!"

Seeing the conditions for being named king, the generals in the army were straightened! The conditions for being named king were to expand territory for Shu. The meaning here was that Shu would always conquer the four barbarians!

After the Fengshan period ended, Wu Shun feasted all the ministers and envoys from various countries in the palace! There was joy in Shu!

At the second day of the Dynasty, Wu Shun promulgated a new official position, changing the system of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to the system of Three Provinces and Six Ministry. The official position was clear, and some people who were free to eat were removed and the ruling system was streamlined. Of course, it further strengthened the centralization of feudal emperors.

As the founding emperor, Wu Shun's power was unparalleled, and the military and political affairs of the whole country obeyed his orders.

At the court meeting, Wu Shun decided to establish an empress and a crown prince, and no one opposed these matters! Regarding the inheritance of the national system, civil and military officials were eager for Wu Shun to make a decision quickly.

Shu Kingdom was officially established and a series of reform measures began to be implemented. People can directly feel the huge changes brought about by the operation of state institutions to their lives.

Wu Shun's new policy was basically some measures that were conducive to restoring production and recovering national strength. The people were happy when the government orders were implemented, but the generals in the army were not so excited.

After the excitement period of Fenggong, there is no war now, so many generals gathered together to discuss friendship on the battlefield.

After moving around a lot, a alliance of interests will naturally form. Wu Shun will not pay attention to such things.

As emperors, we can't limit the generals from interacting with each other.

The rewards of Shu Kingdom are different from those of the previous dynasty and the rewards. In the previous dynasty, once a marquis was granted a fief and fief, and there were also some maids and servants to be appointed. However, the rewards of Wu Shun are more about honor and do not have fiefs or fiefs. As for the rights of officials, they are linked to the official positions they hold.

Most civil and military officials think that this kind of reward is nothing wrong. After all, it is the new dynasty now, and there is another wise and powerful emperor watching there. They can only do things there honestly and seek reputation for themselves and their families.
