Chapter 5288: Meeting His Highness

Finally, the Golden Throne Hall became quiet.

Ji Tianxing couldn't help but stroke his forehead, looking a little tired and uncomfortable.

Originally, it took only three days for the Northern Frontier to return victorious, so he should be happy, but what happened in Tiancheng made him extremely upset.

The cabinet elder saw that Ji Tianxing was upset and was still thinking about what had just happened, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the generals and commanders who returned from the Northern Frontier are waiting outside."

Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's depressed mood improved a little. After taking two deep breaths and adjusting his mood, Ji Tianxing nodded.

"Call them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon after, dozens of strong men in heavy armor lined up to enter the hall in order of strength and status.

"Commander, Ziyang Taoist, pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Commander, Lieying, pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Commander, Feng Qingyun, pays respect to His Majesty!"

"General Qi Ruhai..."

Everyone saluted Ji Tianxing with great respect, and Ji Tianxing couldn't help but smile.

"My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Tell me about your military exploits." Ji Tianxing followed up.

Although Ji Tianxing already knew roughly who had made more contributions and who had made less contributions, it was a court meeting after all, so he had to let everyone hear how much these people had contributed, and then make reasonable rewards.

Taoist Ziyang was the highest position here. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, I led the army and killed no less than 300,000 enemies!"

Lie Ying followed closely: "We killed 200,000 enemies!"

Feng Qingyun also said: "We killed more than 200,000 enemies..."

Others reported their military exploits one after another. It turned out that everyone's military exploits were not bad, because the army led by Feng Qingyun was the first to attack the Xihuang Imperial Capital, so they captured the most members of the Xihuang Imperial Family.

However, for the sake of military exploits, Taoist Ziyang still raised his butcher knife after Xihuang surrendered, which is why he killed 300,000 enemies, and there were not too many strong ones among them.

Everyone present knew this, but no one dared to say it out loud. After all, Taoist Ziyang had a great relationship with a big force on Dragon Island. That was why he was not called by his position even in the court, but by his Taoist name.

After listening to everyone's reports, Ji Tianxing smiled and said: "Okay, Ziyang and Lieying, you have made outstanding military achievements. Each of them will be rewarded with 2 million immortal yuan, and each will be rewarded with a Taoist immortal-level magic weapon..."

Then, there are some insignificant rewards, such as empty titles, etc. In short, they are not given real power. Ji Tianxing has no extra positions with real power, so leave them.

Then, it was Feng Qingyun's turn. Ji Tianxing pondered and said: "Feng Qingyun, you are young after all. Although you have made outstanding military achievements, the rewards will not be so rich. I will let you go to Zhendu Prefecture and serve as the deputy lord of Zhendu Prefecture."

"In addition, I will reward 1.5 million immortal yuan and confer Qingyun the title of Marshal!"

The Marshal is actually the same title as the commander. There is also a difference between real power and no real power. Sometimes it is not as good as the commander with real power on the front line. It is a false title.

After all, Shenxia's treasury was tight, and there was no way to give out extra immortal yuan for rewards, so the rewards for this great victory were a bit shabby, but no one objected.

Ji Tianxing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Next, the remaining immortal yuan for each person's expenses will be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers according to their military merits."

After some arrangements, the rewards were considered over, and the court meeting ended immediately.

Ji Tianxing didn't want to stay for a moment, and soon disappeared.

Seeing this, Ye Wudao walked towards Feng Qingyun with a smile on his face, and Ji Youlan and the others followed behind.

"General Feng!"

"Hello, Lord Ye!" Feng Qingyun clasped his fists in gratitude and bowed, then noticed Ji Youlan and bowed: "Hello, Your Highness!"
