Chapter 775: Conferred the title of marquis and appointed as general

The words of several ministers made Wu Ya's face even more ugly. She was already in a bad mood because of the border incident, and now she felt even more uncomfortable.

"My lords, it's in vain that you are still important ministers of the Nanping Kingdom. When something happened, you didn't know how to find a solution. Instead, you blamed your Majesty here. Are there any ministers like you in the world?" At this time, Wu Fan stood up. , faced Qin Wei and others and asked.

"We are discussing national affairs here, how can you have any say in this?" Cai Cheng scolded Wu Fan.

"Wu Fan is my friend, and I allow him to speak freely here!" Wu Ya said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, although he is your friend, he has no official position and is not a minister of our Nanping Kingdom. We are discussing national affairs now, not personal matters. He is not qualified to speak here." Jiao Zhiyuan said.

Obviously, Mr. Jiao, and perhaps several other ministers, do not have much respect for Wu Ya, the new emperor. Otherwise, just because Wu Fan is Wu Ya's friend, they would not dare to visit Wu Ya. scolded Wu Fan in front of others, and did not dare to stop Wu Fan from speaking.

Wu Ya glared at Jiao Zhiyuan, but Jiao Zhiyuan was obviously not frightened. Although his expression was respectful, he showed no fear and had no intention of changing his words.

"Come here and draw up the decree!" Wu Ya said loudly.

The eunuch next to him quickly prepared pen and paper.

"Wu Fan canonized as Marquis of Anping and given the title of General Dingyuan!" Wu Ya said loudly.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, think again!"

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!"

As soon as Wu Ya's voice fell, the expressions of Qin Wei and others changed drastically, and they all tried to stop him.

Zhao Xingnian looked at Wu Fan with a complicated expression and opened his mouth, but did not speak. Liu Zhenyan, the Minister of Punishment, looked at Wu Fan with curious and playful eyes, remaining silent as before.

"I accept the order and thank you!" Wu Fan ignored the ugly faces of Qin Wei and others and directly saluted and accepted the order to thank him.

"Wu Fan, do you really dare to accept this order?" Jiao Zhiyuan glared at Wu Fan and said.

"Why don't you dare?" Wu Fan straightened up and looked at Jiao Zhiyuan and said, "This is His Majesty's decree. Your Majesty is the Emperor, and he has golden words. Since the decree has been issued, if I don't accept it, wouldn't I be disobeying the Holy Will? Mr. Jiao Are you trying to make me resist?"

"Your Majesty made the decree impulsively. How could you be granted the title of Marquis and General with such virtue?" Cai Cheng looked at Wu Fandao with disdain on his face.

He, Cai Cheng, has been in the army for many years. He started as a soldier and accumulated countless credits and hard work. Now he only has a marquis title and the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. But Wu Fan, a newcomer who has not made any achievements, suddenly suddenly How could he accept the title of marquis and general?

"My decision was not made impulsively, but after careful consideration." Wu Ya said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Wu Fan is just your friend and has never made any merit. If such a person is directly granted the title of Marquis and General, I think the officials will be dissatisfied, and the military officers will also be dissatisfied." Cai Chengdao.

"Have you not accomplished anything yet?" Wu Fan looked at Cai Cheng and smiled and said, "How did your majesty come back? Have you forgotten? Your contribution to rescuing him is as great as heaven's. With this contribution alone, your majesty can even grant me the title of king." , plus the title of Minister of War, I don’t think it’s too much.”

"You..." Cai Cheng pointed at Wu Fan, so angry that the beard on his lips blew.

Wu Fan was granted the title of Minister of War, so what did he do? Will you retire and return to your hometown?

Wu Ya gave Wu Fan a blank look. Wu Fan really dared to think about being crowned king and adding the title of Minister of War. Even if she was now the emperor of Nanping Kingdom, she would not dare to do this. There were several princes in Nanping Kingdom before. , however, they are all members of the royal family. After being killed by people from the Shuiyue Kingdom, there is now no prince left in the entire Nanping Kingdom.

Not to mention that Wu Fan had just arrived in Nanping Country. Even if he had been here for a long time and had made great achievements, Wu Ya would not dare to make this man with a different surname king at will.

As for the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Wu Ya looked at Cai Cheng, who was blowing his beard and staring in anger, and felt that this was a good decision. However, it obviously couldn't be now, otherwise Cai Cheng might faint from anger.

"Several adults feel that I am not worthy of this reward. Do they think His Majesty's life is not important? Do they think my contribution is too small?" Wu Fan looked at the crowd and said.

Qin Wei and others glared at Wu Fan, but they could not retort. The emperor's life was naturally precious, and his contribution to rescuing him was indeed great. From this point of view, Wu Ya's reward was not a problem.

However, everyone was very unconvinced when they saw such a young man suddenly reaching a position where he could sit on equal footing with them.

"Well, Wu Fan now has an official position and a title, so he can participate in discussing this matter." Wu Ya said again.

"Master Wu just said that we only care about complaining and don't think about solutions. It is too arbitrary." Jiang Yun said.

"Oh, what solution did Jiang Shangshu think of?" Wu Fan asked.

"Seek peace!" Jiang Yunyu said.

"Seek peace? Is this what you want?" Wu Fan sneered.

"That's right." Jiang Yun nodded, turned to look at Wu Ya and said, "Your Majesty, the only way to solve the current crisis is to seek peace from the Shuiyue Kingdom. Otherwise, our Nanping Kingdom will be in danger of being destroyed. "

"Why is Jiang Shangshu so sure that we are in danger of destroying the country?" Wu Fan said: "This battle has not been fought yet. Does Jiang Shangshu already know the outcome?"

"Fight? How? Are you going to fight?" Cai Cheng said in support of Jiang Yun: "On the surface, it is the Black Water Kingdom that is sending troops, but in fact, there must be the shadow of the Water Moon Kingdom behind it. How can the strength of our Nanping Kingdom be compared with that of the Water Moon Kingdom? Of course, it is normal that General Wu has just arrived and does not know the strength of our army, but it is a serious crime to speak recklessly without knowing the specific situation and try to confuse Your Majesty!"

"Is Minister Cai so eager to convict me?" Faced with the attack from his superior, Wu Fan was not panicked at all: "The result of the war does not only depend on the apparent strength of both sides. If you can judge who will win and who will lose just by looking at the strength on paper, then don't go to the battlefield in the future. Just write the strength of both sides on paper and compare them. The weaker one will just surrender."

"You... make specious arguments! You are eloquent!" Cai Cheng said angrily.

Fortunately, Cai Cheng does not have high blood pressure, otherwise, he might have been angry and sick at this time.

"I'm not making excuses, but Minister Cai is afraid before the battle. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, being afraid before the battle will inevitably affect the morale of the army. This is a taboo!" Wu Fan said calmly.

"It's not that I'm afraid before the battle, but you are blindly arrogant!" Cai Cheng retorted: "It's not that we haven't fought with Shuiyue Kingdom in the past, and we have never won. Now you are blindly arrogant here. You will harm our entire Nanping Kingdom!"
