Chapter 369 Yan Yunding
As Ning Fu proclaimed himself emperor, he also awarded many titles to his subordinates.
Among them, Liu Zheng was granted the title of Duke of Qi, became the Grand Tutor, and at the same time entered the Political Affairs Hall, becoming the first prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, Lu Jiawen, the original Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, became the Chief Minister of Political Affairs, and the two temporarily co-managed the government affairs.
Lu Jiawen was originally a member of Cai Jing's party, but in fact, he had been secretly bribed by Ning Fu. However, he did not know that Ning Fu was going to rebel before. It was only when Ning Fu's army entered the city that he understood everything.
However, Lu Jiawen was a trustless villain and would rely on whoever was stronger, so he immediately expressed his loyalty to Ning Fu, and Ning Fu was also short of manpower. Although Lu Jiawen was a villain, he was quite talented, so he was favored by Ning Fu.
Reuse.
As for the generals who participated in the mutiny, such as Hu Tou and Sun Meng, they were also rewarded based on their merits.
Among them, Hu Tou was granted the title of Duke of the State of Qin, while Sun Meng and others were all granted the title of Marquis. Moreover, this was only temporary. If these people performed well in the future, they would also be granted the title of Duke of the State. After all, it is better not to reward too much, otherwise it would be a disaster in the future.
There is no way to award the reward.
Liu Zheng and Hu Tou, both civil and military, were both granted the title of Duke of the State. However, in addition to them, there were two other Dukes of the State. One of the imperial edicts of the award was quickly sent to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
In Youzhou City, Zhe Keshi was also shocked beyond measure when he received the news that Ning Fu had raised troops and invaded the capital to rebel.
Ordinarily, as a minister of the Song Dynasty, if he learned that there was a rebellion in the capital, he would be able to adapt to the situation and raise troops to march to the capital to help the king.
But after much hesitation, Zhe Keshi finally decided to stand still.
As a result, just a few days later, the news of Ning Fu's founding of the country came again, and then an imperial edict from Ning Fu was sent.
The person who sent the imperial edict was a general in the new army, so he met Zhe Keshi smoothly, and then personally handed Ning Fu's imperial edict to him. Along with the imperial edict, there was a letter written by Ning Fu himself.
Zhe Keshi first opened the letter and read it in detail. In the letter, Ning Fu explained in detail the reason why he started the army and what happened, so that Zhe Keshi could understand Ning Fu's situation at that time.
"Um?"
When Zhe Keshi read the end of the letter, he was suddenly stunned because Ning Fu said at the end that if he had any questions, he could ask Mr. Guo or Guo Ying.
You must know that Guo Ying is Zhe Keshi's wife, and Mr. Guo is his father-in-law. However, Zhe Keshi does not know the relationship between Mr. Guo and Ning Fu, so he is also very puzzled by what Ning Fu said in his letter.
So Zhe Keshi took the letter and walked to his home. He wanted to ask his wife Guo Ying, but he didn't expect that Mr. Guo also came.
Mr. Guo originally led the Guo family army to be stationed in Zhuozhou, which is in the southwest of Youzhou. Mr. Guo and his family used to live there.
"Father-in-law, why are you here?"
Zhe Keshi was surprised to see Mr. Guo at home and asked. After all, Mr. Guo is a general in the army and should not leave his post without authorization.
"Son-in-law, have you received an imperial edict from the capital?"
Mr. Guo was a straightforward person and asked straight to the point.
Zhuozhou is closer to the capital, so Mr. Guo received the news of Ning Fu's army earlier than Zhe Keshi. At the same time, he also received Ning Fu's letters and imperial edicts.
"Yes, but I haven't read the imperial edict yet. Father-in-law, have you also received it?"
As he spoke, Zhe Keshi took out the imperial edict and the letter in his arms and said that he had only read the letter just now, but he had not read the imperial edict yet, but he could guess that the imperial edict must be a reward for him.
"Yes, this is the imperial edict I received!"
As he spoke, Mr. Guo also took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Zhe Keshi very generously.
Zhe Keshi was stunned, but saw Mr. Guo motioning for him to open it.
Zhe Keshi was suspicious, but he still opened the imperial edict. When he saw the contents of the imperial edict, he was shocked.
This turned out to be an imperial edict to confer kingship, and the name of the person to be conferred was Ning Guo.
"Wait a minute, Ning Guo? Guo Ning! What is your relationship with Ning Fu?"
Zhe Keshi suddenly came to his senses and asked loudly and even more shocked. Second Master Guo's name was Guo Ning, and his real name was actually Ning Guo. When he fled to Liao Kingdom, he deliberately reversed his name.
"My real name is Ning Guo. I am Ning Fu's second uncle, and I am also the queen of King Cao of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Mr. Guo stood up straight at this time and replied.
"You...you are actually his second uncle?"
Zhe Keshi also looked unbelievable when he heard this.
But then Zhe Keshi suddenly thought that when he and Guo Ying got married, Ning Fu was indeed very enthusiastic and even wrote a letter to Mr. Guo. At that time, Zhe Keshi thought that Ning Fu wanted to help him, but now he sees
Come on, Ning Fu is actually helping Guo Ying. After all, she is Ning Fu's cousin.
"My lord, please forgive me. It's not that my father and I deliberately concealed it, but that it was really inconvenient to reveal our origins before."
At this moment, Guo Ying also walked in from the outside and said goodbye. She was just outside the door and had long heard the conversation between her father and her husband.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhe Keshi couldn't help but ask further. In his impression, although Ning Fu and the Guo family had intersections, they really didn't look like relatives.
Guo Ying no longer concealed anything at this time, so he told the story of the Ning family, including the previous encounter between Ning Fu and the Guo family, the Guo family's return to the Song Dynasty, etc.
Zhe Keshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this. He didn't expect that his wife's family's origins were so tortuous.
"So, I have become the son-in-law of the Ning family and the emperor's brother-in-law?"
In the end, Zhe Keshi was a bit dumbfounded and said that with Guo Ying's relationship, he had been tied to Ning Fu's chariot without him knowing it.
"Son-in-law, the pseudo-Song Dynasty Wudao, the lost power of our Ning family will naturally be recovered. Now that Ning Fu has proclaimed himself emperor, and son-in-law, you also know Ning Fu's talents and character. If you help me, the world will be stable!"
Second Master Guo spoke again to persuade.
"Father-in-law, I am now the son-in-law of the Ning family. Do you think I have any other choices?"
Zhe Keshi smiled bitterly and said, "I want their family to be loyal and loyal for generations, but now they have to change their families."
"Haha~, I knew you would definitely choose us as son-in-law, but you don't have to worry. Ning Fu is a sentimental person. He named me the King of Liao, and my daughters are all eldest princesses. Take a look at your rewards.
What it is, it’s definitely not low!”
When Mr. Guo saw Zhe Keshi surrendering at the same time, he immediately laughed heartily.
"My wife has become the eldest princess, so am I no longer the prince-in-law?"
Zhe Keshi blinked when he heard this. He never dreamed that a rough man like him would one day be a prince-in-law.
