Chapter 546 Wu Hou Shen Zhui! (Final Chapter of this Volume)
"The imperial court's decree of reward has arrived?!" Shen Zhui immediately rushed out of the secret room and appeared next to Yu Ziqi.
At this moment, many generals from Shenwei Mansion were gathered in the hall.
"Why, how come it's so fast?!" Shen Zhui was also a little excited.
Although the rewards for the previous school captains and captains were coming one after another, when it comes to the appointment of Wuhou, this is a big event.
The position of prince should not be granted lightly, they must be the last batch.
If you want to complete these procedures completely, it will take at least ten and a half days, or even a month.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, the decree has arrived.
"Sir, this is a great victory. The vassal states were opened up and the victory was achieved by using troops to conquer foreign countries. Of course, there will be no obstacles."
"Wu'an Hou's killing of the true god has proved his ability to be crowned king. In this way, all the six departments are of course very convenient. No one will embarrass Wu'an Hou at this juncture." Yu Ziqi said with a smile. "Right now. Once the decree is issued, there is basically no suspense. Once we enter the capital, the face-to-face meeting is completed, and the ceremony is held, the corresponding physical rewards will be issued. Now we are just confirming the title."
Shen Zhui rubbed his hands and nodded heavily.
In the past few years, the ancestral temples were destroyed and temples were destroyed. The whole country was not happy. The court was in urgent need of a big victory to cheer people up. But Wu'an Marquis did it. It was not only a great achievement, but also in line with the court's wishes.
As the saying goes, civil administration and martial arts are the most important things for a monarch, and they are also the things that civil and military officials care about.
In the past three hundred years, there have been many scenes of prosperity in martial arts, but 'martial arts' has been a bit dull.
Of course, there will be very little resistance in this big victory now, and few people will find it difficult.
"Let's go to the Tianxin Palace!" Shen Zhui immediately put on the Zhou Dynasty military general's worship attire and led a group of personal guards to the Tianxin Palace.
…………
Tianxin Palace.
A new map of the Jiuyou Mountains hangs high in the hall, with mountains and rivers on it. Lines circle the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the raging Canglan River.
"Buzz~" Suddenly a strong wind blew on the map, and the miniature scene became blurred. A military boot stepped out of the map, and then a majestic figure appeared in the hall.
"The body of the true god rules the heaven and the earth."
"Once you become king, it seems like a thousand years..." The stalwart figure sighed with emotion.
If this person is not Wu'an Hou Zhao Xing, who is he?
After Zhao Xing came out of seclusion, he swept his mind and immediately discovered many reports lying on the desk.
"Wow~" The holy pages slid one after another, were quickly processed, floated on their own, and were sent to their destination.
Among them, a special letter fell out of this pile.
"Huh?" Sensing the familiar aura above, Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed and he immediately grabbed the letter in his hand.
Time passed and space changed in his eyes. After a moment, Zhao Xing snorted and threw the letter away.
"Whoops~" It was obvious that he didn't use much force, but the envelope broke through the solid space in Tianxin Palace, fell directly into the turbulent flow of space, and then spread thousands of miles away.
Looking in a certain direction, Zhao Xing stared for a while and then ignored it.
"This boy is overly cautious. Thinking that if I become the king, I will kill the rabbit and kill the dog, and hide all the birds? To think that I am really looking for a fight." Xin Zhao chuckled lightly and shook his head.
"But this matter is really tricky..."
…………
Dayuan Mansion, a palace in the Liang Kingdom.
A middle-aged man in casual clothes was fishing in front of the artificial lake.
This opened lake is full of spiritual energy, like a blessed land.
Although the lake surface is calm, there are extremely terrifying auras coming out from under the lake surface from time to time. It is obvious that there are not many small fish and shrimps in this small lake.
"Wow~" The calm lake water suddenly surged, and the space shook.
A letter broke through the space and went straight to the head of the middle-aged man fishing.
A letter can be sent at such a high speed, spanning thousands of miles, and still breaking through space. This shows that it is extremely powerful. If it were hit by this golden blade, even a sixth-level magic weapon would be struck by it.
Divide in half.
Seeing the golden envelope getting closer and closer to the middle-aged man, the man seemed not to notice it and was still looking at the lake, concentrating on it.
When the envelope was only one foot away from the middle-aged man, it seemed that all his strength had been exhausted and he could no longer get closer.
It's just that the buzzing, high-speed letter, even though it was imprisoned like a folding space, still refused to give up and was approaching the middle-aged man's head bit by bit.
When the envelope was only a finger's width away from the middle-aged man, the latter finally showed a look of surprise. He unexpectedly came back from fishing.
Looking at the letter, Xia Wudao reached out and picked up the letter with one finger.
"Pa~" The space was disillusioned, and a dark hole appeared at the fingertips. Space cracks were born from this black hole. The terrifying space rules overflowed instantly and were about to sweep across the entire lake.
"Woo~" Under the lake, many ferocious beasts were so frightened that they ran around, whining sounds kept coming, but they were too afraid to make too much noise.
"Humph!" Xia Wudao snorted coldly, and an aura emerged from his body. The entire lake suddenly became quiet and calm. And the black hole slowly disappeared.
"Bounce~" came a clear sound, and the fishing rod and line suddenly shattered into powder.
Looking at the many huge corpses gradually floating on the lake.
Prince Liang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"
"You have prevented me from being crowned king for two hundred years, and today I will kill two thousand souls of your soul!"
The sound gradually faded away, and the lingering power disappeared completely.
The 'bodies' slowly turning white on the lake were no more and no less than two thousand.
"Zhao Xing..." King Liang's face returned to calmness and he whispered.
"Poof~" A flame ignited from the letter, and the flames engulfed the outer shell, slowly revealing the blank paper inside.
…………
When Shen Zhui arrived at Tianxin Palace, he saw a familiar figure.
Great Inspector, Long Xiao!
Next to Long Xiao were the three Wuhou!
At the same time, there were many figures in the main hall, all of whom were at the Venerable level or above.
Even the people from the Qingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army are here.
Que Feihu, Lan Chenguang, Kong Yangzhou...
Familiar figures were all waiting excitedly and repressedly.
At the bottom left of the main hall, Lu Yuanwei waved to Shen Zhui.
Shen Zhui went over immediately. He originally wanted to stand under his master Lu Yuanwei, but he never thought that Lu Yuanwei smiled and pulled Shen Zhui to the first place on the lower left.
"Master, this..." Shen Zhui was a little frightened.
"General Shen, you are number one in the military merit list. This is where you should stand." Que Tianhu on the side also smiled kindly.
The rest of the people also looked at Shen Zhui with envy or admiration.
When Shen Zhui saw this, he no longer refused. He cupped his hands in all directions and stood at the first position on the lower left.
Not long after, everyone had arrived and the hall gradually became quiet.
After waiting for a while, the first auspicious moment arrived.
The chief inspector, Long Xiao, began to shout loudly.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Wow~ All the soldiers in the main hall knelt down. Even the three Wuhou were no exception.
"Your Majesty, accept the order!"
"The soldiers of the three armies fought bloody battles, cleared the borders, and conquered foreign lands. They opened up territories for the Zhou Dynasty and made immortal contributions..."
"Specially discuss rewards for meritorious deeds to show loyalty."
"Everyone with a military merit list of less than 10,000 will be promoted to one level."
"Within one thousand, all officers will be promoted by two levels."
"Within 100, the official will be promoted to the third level."
"..."
The majestic voice echoed in the hall, and most people showed happy expressions.
Although I had known for a long time that the reward was impressive, when it actually arrived, I still couldn't hide it.
However, this is just a small head.
As usual, the following large-scale reward process is very short. It just draws out a range and promotes promotions without specifically naming names.
Only the roll call for the title of marquis is the highlight!
After a while, the sound of awarding the award paused slightly.
All the soldiers below all kowtowed and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
After a pause, the second edict began.
"Lan Chenguang, formerly of the Qingzhou Army, was promoted from General Fenyong to General Anguo."
"Pei Yan of the Jizhou Army was promoted from General Yongwu to General Zhaoxin. He enjoyed the title of first-class earl and a fief of 5,000 acres."
"The Wu'an Army in Kongyang Prefecture was promoted from a brave general to a brave general. He enjoyed the first-class earlship and a fief of 5,000 acres."
"Jizhou Army Dou Jianming was promoted to General of the Four Seas..."
The sounds of awarding awards sounded out one after another. This time, all generals started from "brave" and jumped up a level, and they all started at least as a third-class earl. The highest was a first-class earl.
This point is basically the limit of most soldiers' lives.
Further up, there is the title of Marquis. The probability is too low. In the past two hundred years, there may not be ten people.
"My lord, thank you for your holy grace!"
After a moment, the third imperial edict appeared!
Everyone's breathing became rapid, because this third imperial edict was to determine the quota of Wuhou and the title of canonization!
How many places are there, and who will be awarded the title of Marquis of Wu?
This is an unknown number, because no one knows how the court will choose. Military merit alone is not the only indicator, there are many factors to consider.
"Boom~" Shen Zhui felt his heartbeat speed up and his breathing become rapid.
But soon, he calmed down.
Ranked first in the military merit list, and with his talent here, if he can't even be granted the title of Marquis, he may have trouble convincing the public.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhui calmed down again.
"Wow~" A golden light shrouded the top of his head and landed on Que Tianhu's head.
Que Tianhu looked excited, and his whole body was enveloped by the golden light, giving him a majestic aura.
Although he is only an eighth-level venerable, Tianhu is as sacred and inviolable as a true god at this moment, giving people a terrifying aura.
"The Jizhou Army defeated Tianhu and made outstanding military achievements. In the battle of the boundary, he killed countless enemies and destroyed many leaders of foreign sects. His command was meritorious. The Jizhou Army suffered the lowest battle losses west of the Canglan River. Later, he fought bravely in the critical land. He defeated the enemy, made great achievements in battle, and finally ranked second in the military merit list."
"In order to show his merits, he is specially named...the Marquis of Wisdom and Faith!"
Wisdom and trust!
The first new Wuhou was born!
No one was surprised by this, but although Tianhu did not sacrifice his life as generously as Lan Hai, nor did he kill the ninth level with one sword like Lu Yuanwei, which attracted the true god to take action.
However, in the western theater where it was located, the Jizhou Army suffered the lowest casualties. It fought steadily and commanded well. In the end, it was the Jizhou Army that gained the most in the fate battle below the Venerable level.
Unlike the Wu'an Army in the Eastern War Zone, there are suspicions of greed for credit and rash advancement. Although the credit is great, the casualties are also high. The same is true for the Qingzhou Army.
In the critical land, Qu Tianhu also killed a lot of enemies. He was an eighth-level venerable, and his final military merit was ranked second, all because of the existence of a freak like Shen Zhui. Moreover, the gap between the two in military merit was actually Extremely small.
As for the title of Zhixinhou, I think it was established by the center based on his past achievements and combat style.
"My lord, accept the imperial edict!" Que Tianhu bowed again and then respectfully accepted the edict.
There are six major seals on the imperial edict, as well as the central seal and the emperor's private seal.
As long as you go to Beijing later, ask for sacrifices, tell the world, and add the jade seal, all the procedures will be completed.
But now, there is no difference between him and the real Marquis Wu.
Everyone continued to kneel down, but there was no sound from above.
Shen Zhui's heart skipped a beat, could this be the end of the title of Marquis?
It shouldn’t be!
Apart from himself, those who are eligible to be granted the title of Marquis, Lu Yuanwei and Xia Feihu, all have a chance.
There is no way there is just such a Wuhou!
After waiting for a moment, Long Xiao's voice finally came again.
"Qingzhou Army, Lan Hai listens to the order!"
"Coax~" There was a commotion in the palace.
Lan Hai was actually granted the title of Marquis!
It was impossible for the imperial court to confer the title of Marquis of Wu to a dead person. At most, it would add an ordinary marquis.
And now that it appears here, that means...
"Your Majesty, accept the decree!" A confused and excited voice emerged from that special imperial decree.
The golden light on the imperial edict is far richer than the previous one.
But when everyone couldn't help but observe with their spiritual thoughts, they found that the golden light quickly dimmed a lot.
Most of them are concentrated in a vague outline.
"really!"
"It's reversal of time and space!"
"The imperial court used its supreme means to reverse time and space and resurrected General Lan!"
"I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to encounter this scene!"
"The divine grace is so great!"
"..."
Lan Hai's figure, completely solidified, jumped out from the golden light, knelt on the ground, and happened to land next to Shen Zhui.
Shen Zhui was also filled with emotion.
His holy words of healing are just for bringing the dead back to life and have an effect on the realm of supernatural powers. But for the Venerable, if the soul is seriously injured, it will have no effect at all.
But now, Lan Hai has clearly been wiped out, but now he appears here intact. Even his cultivation is at the ninth level of the Venerable. It is really amazing!
"The Blue Sea Army of Qingzhou served the country loyally and made outstanding achievements many times. In the battle of the boundary, it destroyed many sects' teleportation arrays and cut off their logistics. They fought for the critical land and killed countless enemies. They died for their comrades. Their loyalty is commendable and the heaven and earth are worthy of praise. Check it out!"
"In order to show his merits, he is specially awarded...the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness!"
The sound fell, the golden light fell, and Lan Hai's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
In fact, he had already passed the age threshold for the title of Marquis and was already dead. Unexpectedly, in the end, the court kept resurrecting him and made him a Marquis of Wu!
"My lord, accept the edict!" Lan Hai received the edict in a trembling voice.
Seeing this scene, the superior Shenjian Hou also showed a relieved smile.
In order to save his younger brother, he lost his arm in the battle between the true gods!
Although it was Marquis Wu An who killed the Sirius King in the end, it was him who paid a huge price and dragged the Sirius King to death at the expense of both sides!
Such painstaking efforts have indeed paid off.
The imperial court gave Lan Hai a chance to resurrect, and at the same time, he was granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, which completely resolved the knot in his younger brother's heart!
Loyalty and righteousness! Both loyal and righteous!
No one has any objections to this account ban.
During the Lanhai War, he broke the mirror, entered the ninth level of the Venerable, and even killed a ninth-level Venerable. However, Lu Yuanwei was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he and Que Tianhu were his deputy. He was not arrogant and even behaved as before. He blocked the gun for Lu Yuanwei. Everyone saw it.
Now that he is resurrected and granted the title of marquis, his merits can be regarded as complete.
"Lu Yuanwei accepts the order!" Long Xiao's voice sounded again.
Everyone was excited.
The third Wuhou!
As for Xia Feihu, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
The second, third and fourth ranks in the military merit list were all sealed, but he was fifth.
There is now the third Wuhou, and the higher the number, the smaller the number.
Fighting against the four Wuhou is the limit, can you defeat Shen Zhui?
"Wu'an Army Lu Yuanwei is extremely talented, has great military exploits, and is both civil and military..."
"To show your merit, I am sending you a special letter!"
"Your Majesty, accept the edict!" Lu Yuanwei respectfully accepted the edict.
The fourth Marquis Wu, Marquis Wenxin!
Marquis Wu is both a title and a military rank.
If one is under the Marquis of Wu, the title with the word "wei" is basically the highest level in recognition of his military power.
Secondly, there is the title of "Five Virtues", namely Yan Yong Wu Zhi Xin.
But Wuhou is different. The five virtues are ranked first.
If the title of Marquis Wu can carry five virtues, it is already regarded as respected, and the addition of the previous word means that Marquis Wu has a certain respected status among civil servants.
This is why Lu Yuanwei has cultivated the magical power of the Holy Word to an extremely high level before he can be recognized by civil servants and receive a letter of honor!
When Long Xiao took out the fourth imperial edict.
Everyone was excited.
Four Wuhou!
Who will be this fourth Wuhou?
Xia Feihu, or Shen Zhui?
Everyone has one heart.
Xia Feihu is from Prince Liang's palace, while Shen Zhui is from Zhao Xing.
Both of them have many supporters. If there is one more Wuhou in the Wu'an army, Shen Zhui and Xia Feihu will have two completely different influences in Zhao State in the future.
"Shen Zhui accepts the order!" The waiting time did not last long. A golden light enveloped Shen Zhui's head.
Xia Feihu's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his head was lowered.
"Your Majesty, accept the order!" Shen Zhui respectfully allowed the golden light to glance at him.
"Wu'an Army Shen Zhui was extremely talented and lurked in the Jiuyou Realm, making the first contribution to the battle in the realm. Later, he destroyed the mountain and sea entrance formations. Under the battle flags of the three sects, he killed several venerables and destroyed the Youming City. Trapped, cure the Heavenly Wolf King’s poison, and countless people will survive.”
"Excellent military exploits, bravely championing the three armies."
"To show his merit, he is specially named..."
"Champion Hou!"
"Coax~" The whole hall suddenly shook!
