Chapter 201 The Golden Palace Rewarded
Golden Palace, Early Dynasty.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking down majestically at all the civil and military officials on stage.After everyone finished performing the state ceremony, the official of ceremonies took a step forward, and a deliberately elongated voice sounded in the hall: "Mo Zhanhua listens to the decree."

The return of the King of War from his expedition was naturally a reward or something. All the civil and military ministers couldn't help but hold their breath and listened carefully.

Mo Zhanhua took a step forward, stepped out and knelt on the ground, "The minister is here."

The ceremonial officer spread out bright yellow, embroidered with the imperial decree of auspicious clouds and flying dragons, and read aloud: "The king of war is brave and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. Seven jade crowns. From now on, all salaries will be distributed according to the Prince's etiquette system, and the titles will be hereditary—" After reading this, several people in the hall were dumbfounded.

Ever since the founding of Southern Chu in Tiancheng, there has been no such treatment as bestowing crowns on ministers, let alone seven crowns!

It can be seen from this that the emperor's reliance on Mo Zhanhua is absolutely beyond human reach.

However, this is only a part of the rewards. The ceremonial officer's continuous voice continued to come from the high platform: "Give a pair of Nanhai night pearls, two carts of silk from the Western Regions, a bloody BMW, and a Tibetan snow mastiff—" This reward surprised people again.The Tibetan Snow Mastiff is a very rare animal. It is said that in the entire Southern Chu, there is only one kept in the imperial palace, and it was used to reward the Lord Zhan!

The ceremonial officer read all kinds of rewards for a long time, so long that people forgot what rewards he had given before, he raised his head and looked at Mo Zhanhua with a smile: "Lord Zhan, accept the order."

"Thank you, minister." He bent down and kowtowed, then straightened his waist, but there was no other expression.

The light and fluffy words disappointed the people standing on both sides.To get these many rewards, one should show some joy to some extent, but looking at the Prince of War in front of him, his expression is clear and cold, and he knows that he came back to receive the reward after winning the battle, but he doesn't know, I thought he had lost the battle and was waiting for the emperor to order punishment!
Fortunately, the emperor had long been used to his appearance, waved his hand, and ordered the chief of ceremonies to deliver the imperial edict.

After receiving the imperial edict, Mo Zhanhua got up and took a few steps back, returning to the queue.

The ceremonial officer took out another imperial decree, "Ma Jian listens to the decree."

"My son is here." Ma Jian stood up from the crowd and knelt down in the center of the hall.

All eyes in the hall then cast their eyes on the prince who also returned triumphantly.I heard that when he returned to the city, he happened to meet the King of War. Although he was a prince, he was extremely honorable, but he had to condescend and take a step back, letting the titled King of War go first.

The emperor was biased, thinking that the third prince's reward should be quite different from that of the war king.

Thinking of this, there was a bit of sarcasm on everyone's face, and they heard the high-pitched voice of the chief of ceremonies resounding in the hall: "Third Prince Jian, brave and good at fighting, defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, and lived up to my high expectations. Title Yuwang, bestow Yuwangfu , enjoy the preferential treatment of the county king."

The difference is as big as clouds and mud.

The sympathetic eyes of the crowd fell on Ma Jian, but they saw him kowtow in flattery, "Thank you for your kindness." After speaking, he took the order devoutly, got up and took a few steps back, and stood back in the queue.

The third prince has never been favored, and he has not been crowned king at the age of 20. No wonder he is so happy, and everyone bows their heads in silence.

The crown prince Ma Qi and the second prince Ma Ning stood at the front of the queue. Seeing the joyful smile on his face, the disdain on his face became even more involuntary.After all, the mud can't stick to the wall, and the emperor rewarded such a small thing, so he was so happy that he could wag his tail!
After the reading was finished, the ceremonial officer issued the last decree: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the virtuous and talented will be appointed. All officers and soldiers in the army will be rewarded. After retiring from the court, the king of Zhan and the king of Yu will make the rewards according to the order. I admire this."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

After leaving the court, he came out of the main hall, and there was a black gold carriage parked directly under the steps, which was driven by Mo Zhanhua.According to the etiquette system, after entering the Chonghua Gate, he could only abandon the sedan chair and take the chariot, but his car was bestowed by the emperor, so the treatment was naturally different from others.

Behind the carriage, there was a long queue of maids and servants, carrying all kinds of treasures bestowed by the emperor in their hands.

A snow-white, fierce-looking dog mastiff was locked in an iron cage, which was particularly conspicuous.
