Lin Mu did not argue or refute this. Instead, he waited with his eyes downcast with a blank look on his face.

Regarding the rewards, I secretly inquired about them when I went to Beijing with Zhang Rang. Unfortunately, Zhang Rang did not reveal anything. He only said that His Majesty would receive generous rewards.

However, before they entered Beijing, Zhang Rang still discussed it with Lin Mu, and with Lin Mu's consent, he quickly sent a memorial of meritorious service to Luoyang.

In that merit book, Huang Zhongfeng, Zhong, Zhou Taile, and other civil servants including their deputy army commander Zhang Xiaohu, Liu Feng, Chang Yin, Huang Wen, and even Xun Shuang's two sons Xun Biao and Xun Pei were listed.

There were also some minor incidents, including the big gentry who coveted Lin Mu and wanted to join Lin Mu. Unfortunately, they couldn't get close. Even if they wanted to visit in the middle, they were rejected by Lin Mu.

Anyway, this kind of thing is normal in this era.

Of course, Lin Mu could add people at will, and Zhang Rang also added some of their people after discussing with Lin Mu.

The dragon's veins return to the court, and everyone shares the credit.

"Bring me the imperial edict of reward!

!" After flattering him for a while, Liu Hong, who was flushed with color, shouted loudly.

Zhao Zhong hurriedly handed a roll of imperial edict of reward that had been prepared long ago to Liu Hong, who was standing in front of Lin Mu.

"Due to Huang E's rebellion, the sea was in turmoil. In order to solve the difficulties of all the people, the emperor was decisive, carried out the aspirations of the people, and inherited the will of heaven. In the second year of Zhongping, he sent Lin Mu, the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the east, to lead all the warriors to sail.

.According to the order of the Emperor, he went through all kinds of difficulties and crossed the endless sea eastward to find the Xuanjie Dragon Vein for the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the third year of Zhongping, he sent the Dragon Vein to Beijing. The destiny of China gathered in the divine capital, and the Han Dynasty prospered forever!"

(Now 185 years have passed and it is early 186)

"This is the protection of the great Han Dynasty, and the protection of all the people in the world!"

"At this meeting, we will honor all the meritorious officials, including: Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Lin Mu, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng... Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Zhang Feng... Huang Zhong, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Feng Zhong... Guo Jia,

Xi Zhong, Huang Wen, Xun Biao, Xun Pei..." Liu Hong said the entire list in one breath.

Originally it was Zhang Rang or Zhao Zhong who did such a thing, but Liu Hong, who was excited, went out to do the roll call himself.

Upon hearing the series of names of meritorious deeds, none of the officials present were surprised, as if they had expected it.

As the protagonist, Lin Mu looks like this on the surface, but he is complaining in his heart: "This general is not the number one hero, haha... It's really... interesting!"

It's okay for you to add someone...but putting his name in third place is disgusting.

Suppression...this is suppression!

After that, there will be specific rewards.

Zhang, who was working as an errand boy, asked Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun and Guosheng to serve as ten permanent servants, and he was directly promoted to the title of county lord, with a million households living in the county!

After all, their official positions can no longer be promoted. They can only be promoted through knighthood.

"Your Majesty, the contribution of the Ten Constant Attendants is not that great at all, how can you reward millions of nobles!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your Holy Order!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your Holy Order!"

Liu Hong's first reward made the officials have objections.

Damn it... none of our people have received rewards, but you, the emperor's relatives and eunuchs, are enjoying the rewards. What's the point? You must find fault!

Unfortunately, the strong Liu Hong suppressed them one by one. The reward did not change.

After that, it was Lin Mu's turn.

"General Lin Mu, who conquered the East, has made outstanding achievements. He was awarded the second rank [Yizhou Mu] and supervised the military affairs of Yizhou Island. He was granted the title of [Dongxiang Marquis] in Dongye County and had 100,000 households in Shiyi Township!" Liu Hong's voice echoed in the air.

In the court hall.

"Sure enough!

"After hearing the reward, Lin Mu's heart suddenly sank even though he had been mentally prepared.

The position of second-grade general was still not given to him!

The so-called blank check is to describe Liu Hong's promise...

It is said that the emperor is Jinkou, and he will not change once he opens it. However, when it comes to Liu Hong, it is bullshit. He can change it as he pleases.

"Your Majesty, no! No!"

"Your Majesty, Lin Mu is a stranger, how can he lead a second-grade state pastor?"

"Your Majesty, Lin Mu is a treacherous and sycophantic person. He cannot take charge of the military and political affairs of a place. Otherwise, if his wings are full, he will cause great disaster!"

As soon as they heard that Lin Mu would be the state pastor, the officials immediately exploded.

At present, among the Han Dynasty, there is only one state pastor, and that is Jizhou pastor Huangfu Song.

And he was able to take this position because Jizhou was too influenced by Zhang Jiao and had no choice but to set it up.

As for Lin Mu, it's different. If he also becomes a state pastor, it means that this door will be opened... If someone else gets outstanding achievements and becomes a state pastor in the future, then there will be no chaos?!

However, not all the officials who opposed it, such as Liu Yan, Liu Biao and others, remained silent. It's good to open the door, they will also have a chance in the future!

Lin Mu turned around and looked around, and found that his mentor Xun Shuang and father-in-law Cai Yong were also among those who opposed him becoming the shepherd of Yizhou.

Because he didn't communicate with them, Lin Mu was also a little confused.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he could understand, because they didn't want the Han Dynasty to collapse so quickly. The state pastoral system was a serious problem!

After that, the court began to argue fiercely. There was no concern for the feelings of the parties involved, Lin Mu and Liu Hong.

All kinds of quotations from scriptures, all kinds of ancestral rules of the Han Dynasty... all came out, as lively as a vegetable market.

Unfortunately, until the end of the debate, nothing changed.

"Dragon Veins can return to the court. Lin Mu's contribution is quite great. I have an extra reward. Lin Mu, you can go to the second country's treasure house to select three treasures."

"In addition, you can establish and receive 400,000 yuan for the Eastern Expedition Army and all the materials for its training." Liu Hong returned to the throne while the ministers were debating, and said condescendingly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! I accept the title of Saint!" Lin Mu did not say much and directly accepted all the rewards.

This is an unexpected gain.

After that, Lin Mu heard system prompts in his ears. Lin Mu ignored it for the time being, because there were rewards coming from other people.

What pleased Lin Mu the most was that Xi Zhicai became the prefect of Wu County in Yangzhou!

Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai and others all took the position of seventh-rank general. Feng Zhong took the position of eighth-rank general.

As for Huang Wenxun, Biao Xunpei and others, they all became county magistrates.

It can be said that except for Lin Mu, everyone else’s harvest exceeded expectations.

However, going to the Second Treasury to select treasures made Lin Mu look forward to it. Maybe he would encounter something good.

Lin Mu was promoted to that title, and it didn't matter whether Yizhou Mu was there, because he was originally the governor of Yizhou. On an overseas island, is there any difference between the governor and the governor?

Even in China, the governor gradually has the authority of the state pastor.

No matter what, the high-level officials in the Great Wilderness Territory gradually began to spread.

The great wilderness territory is now flourishing.

After awarding the reward for a long time, Liu Hong's mouth became dry.

And just when Liu Hong finished reading all the rewards and was about to go to court, a terrifying energy wave suddenly rippled out over the palace.

"What happened?!

"The terrifying fluctuations made everyone panic. Even Lin Mu felt an inexplicable panic in his heart at this moment.

“Go out and have a look!

"Liu Hong, who was originally very happy, didn't know what he sensed, and his face was solemn.

Everyone in the court sensed this strange fluctuation, and under the leadership of Liu Hong, they all left the hall.

The sky, which was originally glittering with golden light, no longer had any auspicious signs at this moment, but instead, there was a huge aperture hanging in the mid-air.

And the aperture in mid-air, blessed by some kind of power, continuously shoots out terrifying white energy.

Everyone looked up at the sky and frowned.

"stop!

"At this moment, a burly figure appeared in front of everyone.

This figure was holding a long sword. After a few breaths, the fighting spirit rose.

"boom!

"The next moment, the figure waved his long sword, and a huge sword light suddenly cut through the void and slashed towards the aperture.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, daring to show up without warning in the important place of the palace is a provocation.

This figure was quite familiar to Lin Mu. It was the number one figure on the list of heroes of heaven and earth, [Shadowless Sword God] Wang Yue!

Because of Lin Mu's help, Wang Yue surpassed Tong Yuan and Zhang Ji and became the top spot.

"boom!

"Under the gaze of countless people, the sword light struck the aperture.

"Hey! I didn't expect that there would be such a talented person in the later dynasty. Not bad!

"At this moment, a familiar voice echoed in the sky.
Chapter completed!
