Chapter 1822

"Since you are all marquises of our Great Qian, I ask you to remember: A hundred battles in the yellow sand wear out the golden armor, and we will not return until the Xiongnu are broken!"

This statement directly blocked the mouths of the hundred officials present.

Great Qian was thriving, and the Xiongnu, who had always been regarded as Great Qian's formidable enemy, were beaten up by Gao Yang.

Wu Zhao's majesty was also raised to an unprecedented level, and no one dared to speak out in disobedience.

Plus this ancient great victory, and Zhao Bushi and the others had real military merits, the hundred officials were somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts, but they sensibly didn't speak out.

Next.

Inside Jin Luan Hall, two more people were ennobled as marquises, one was under Gao Yang's command, a relatively sturdy Great Qian general, and one was a Xiongnu small king who surrendered to Gao Yang and worked for Great Qian!

Counting Pu Duo, just in this battle of Hexi, seven marquises were born!

This number could not be said to be terrifying!

Merit was rewarded, and next was punishment.

The first to bear the brunt was Wang Zhong.

Because he lost the battle and caused too many Great Qian soldiers to be lost, Wu Zhao fined him a year's salary, and he also had to pay ten thousand taels of silver, otherwise he would be judged for his crimes!

Qin Zhenguo and Zhao Ponu were the same, just better than Wang Zhong, the loss wasn't that big, fined four months' salary, and had to pay five thousand taels of silver.

Lu Zhen's merit and demerit offset each other.

The faces of Wang Zhong, Qin Zhenguo, and Zhao Ponu turned green, and their toes almost dug through the Jin Luan Hall.

Shameful!

Truly shameful!

Besides watching these young generals being ennobled as marquises one after another, what was even more embarrassing was that they were actually punished in public.

Except for Gao Yang who couldn't be ennobled anymore, Wu Zhao said she would think about it, and the rest were rewarded according to merit.

A morning court session ended accordingly.

"Although you have made great contributions, you must also remember your father's teachings, you must be cautious and not arrogant, you must not be happy or angry, you must not be noisy, you must be as calm as your father, I will wait for you outside the hall!"

Gao Feng stood straight, carrying one hand behind his back, his serious face tightened, not smiling, his voice extremely calm.

After speaking.

He walked toward the outside of the hall.

As Gao Feng expected, as soon as the court ended, the hundred officials gathered around Gao Yang one after another.

Even Song Li, Yan Zheng, and others came to greet Gao Yang actively, with smiles on their faces.

Regarding this, Gao Yang naturally wouldn't mock them.

He smiled indifferently and dealt with the hundred officials.

Soon.

Everyone retreated.

Wang Xiao, Li Erji, Zhao Bushi, and others all came to Gao Yang with excitement.

Their eyes were full of gratitude.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "No need to thank this Chancellor; you can be ennobled as marquises, all thanks to Your Majesty's holy grace, and your own brave performance on the Hexi battlefield!"

Although he said so, everyone knew very well.

The battle of Hexi was a monstrous merit, but wanting seven people to be ennobled as marquises together was absolutely impossible.

Especially the Xiongnu surrendered generals!

Since ancient times, even if foreigners won a victory, so what? The victory was already won, could time flow backward?

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, so they must prioritize rewarding their own people, and foreigners can just be sent away.

Human hearts have always been like this, and killing the donkey after the mill is the normal state of the world.

And the reason why they were all ennobled as marquises was all due to Gao Yang!

Wu Zhao valued Gao Yang, and Gao Yang tried his best to fight for them, which led to fair rewards and punishments, and their ennoblement as marquises!

"Chancellor Gao, the brothers all know that there are many people with great military merits in these years, but there has never been such a fair reward, so please accept a bow from me!"

Saying that, Zhao Bushi wanted to kneel.

Pu Duo also didn't say a word and wanted to kneel.

Li Erji and Wang Xiao were about to follow.

But Gao Yang helped them up, "There are many people, do you want to leave a suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain? Your status is different now, and you must pay more attention to your actions."

Gao Yang reminded them, and everyone was shocked.

"Chancellor Gao is right, then we will visit your mansion in a few days, and then we will kneel!"

Zhao Bushi said.

"Marquis Polu's praise is wrong!"

Pu Duo also said, "Then in a few days, we will visit Chancellor Gao together, and then we will bow to thank Chancellor Gao for his holy grace, so as not to give people something to talk about!"

Gao Yang: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned and left.

It's better to have less contact with these few idiots.

"Eh, where is Chancellor Gao?"

"I don't know, he was just here!"

"Where is he?"

"I guess he couldn't listen anymore and left." Wang Xiao said.

Li Erji was furious, "Who said something? It actually made Chancellor Gao speechless to the point of leaving, stand out!"

Pu Duo looked innocent, "I don't know!"

"..."

Outside Jin Luan Hall.

"Hahaha!"

"May the ancestors of the Gao family bless us, may the Buddha bless us!"

Gao Feng let out a loud laugh, he looked into the distance, his heart was unprecedentedly happy.

He found a spot on the side, waiting for Gao Yang to come out of Jin Luan Hall.

As a result, a scene he didn't expect happened; the hundred officials gathered toward him one after another, and there were more and more people.

This instantly made Gao Feng dumbfounded!

This... what is the situation?

"Minister Gao, please, Chancellor Gao is so dazzling, in just one year, he grew from the biggest playboy in Chang'an City to the Tiger of Great Qian today; how did you do it?"

This middle-aged minister who spoke, Gao Feng knew, and was very familiar with.

He was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Xing Hu, who had a playboy at home, extremely unlearned and unskilled; of course, compared to the previous Gao Yang, he was still far behind in all aspects.

"Yes, Minister Gao, we work together, you can't hide your secrets!" The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel also spoke.

His own wicked son was also extremely playboy, which gave him a headache, and he was even angered to the point of fainting once.

Therefore, the more the hundred officials gathered, the more people spoke out, especially some old generals, who were full of eagerness.

When it comes to leading troops to fight, they are extremely good at it, but when it comes to educating children, this is a huge problem.

Everyone says that a general's gate has a tiger son, and a tiger father has no dog son, but the fact is often that a general's gate has more dog sons.

They urgently need Gao Feng's experience.

After all, Gao Yang's transformation is a living example before their eyes!

Under the spotlight, this is the feeling he, Gao Feng, is seeking!

Gao Feng put his hands on his hips, spitting everywhere, his voice extremely loud and proud.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, how can I, Gao, hide my secrets?"

"To tell you the truth, my son can have today's merit, it is no exaggeration to say that this is all my, Gao Feng's, merit!"

"Educating children is actually very simple; you all make it too complicated, one word, beat, four words, beat hard, seven words, hang up and beat hard!"

"As the saying goes, if you don't beat, you won't become a vessel, and conversely, the more you beat, the more you become a vessel; this is the word of the sage, how can it be wrong? My son Gao Yang, under my, Gao Feng's, day and night beating, transformed amazingly!" ===== CHAPTER 1824 =====

"As the saying goes, 'spare the rod and spoil the child,' and conversely, the more one is beaten, the more refined one becomes. These are the words of the sages; how could they be wrong? My son, Gao Yang, has undergone an astonishing transformation under my, Gao Feng's, day and night beatings!"
