Peerless Headmaster

Chapter 1022 On the Rewards for Deeds
As soon as Lian Hongchen said this, the court immediately fell silent.

Those courtiers who spoke out to dissuade them froze there one by one, their faces were a little helpless, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending the Empress Hongchen.

Although the ministers have the responsibility of admonishing them, they still dare not be too presumptuous in the face of the majesty of the Hongchen Empress.

However, the land of one state was given to Ning Heng in this way, and the officials felt a little uncomfortable. They always felt that Lian Hongchen's reward for Ning Heng was too generous.

Ning Heng also didn't expect that Lian Hongchen would directly give Beishan Prefecture to himself. If so, wouldn't he poach a piece of Beilin Wang's territory under the eyes of Beilin Wang?
Although this was not Ning Heng's original intention, Ning Heng could imagine that once Beilin Wanglian Qingyun knew about it, he would be dissatisfied.

After all, the Northern Kyushu has always been Lian Qingyun's seat. Although the Northern Kyushu is not Lian Qingyun's fiefdom, Lian Qingyun has ruled the Northland for many years. Basically, the Northern Kyushu has been branded with Lian Qingyun's personal brand.

In the simplest terms, Lian Qingyun is the king of the northern Kyushu.

And now that Ning Heng has been granted the title of Marquis of the Protectorate, and has such a large piece of land in Beishan Prefecture, even if Lian Qingyun sits in the northern Kyushu, it is impossible for him to have any involvement in Beishan Prefecture after that.

No one can touch the private fief unless the Queen of the Red Dust withdraws her will.

Once touched, it is tantamount to openly disobeying Lian Hongchen's will.

This is also one of the reasons why the Dugu family can stand above the southern border. In addition to the strength of the Dugu family itself, the will of the Great Spirit Gaozu also played a big role, making no force dare to touch the Dugu family. fief.

Ning Heng is in the same situation now.

But Ning Heng is different from the Dugu family. The Dugu family is strong and does not fear anyone, but Ning Heng is weak after all. Although he still has a Golden Crow Sect, he is not that powerful yet.

A place as big as Beishan Prefecture is completely under the control of Ning Heng, which will inevitably arouse a lot of jealousy.

The most likely one is Lian Qingyun.

Ning Heng could almost imagine that in the future, he might not be as harmonious as before in front of Lian Qingyun.

After all, with the conflict on the territory, even the relationship between foster father and adopted son cannot be completely ignored.

What's more, Ning Heng is also somewhat repulsive to Lian Qingyun in his heart.

Lian Qingyun promised at the beginning that as long as the monster clan's offensive eased, he would allocate troops to rescue the crisis in the imperial capital.

But when the Yaozu's offensive really eased, Lian Qingyun did not fulfill his promise and chose to stand by and watch.

After this incident, Ning Heng knew that Lian Qingyun was actually unreliable.

The most important point is that there is a feud between Ning Heng and Lian Qingyun who killed his son.

This is a point that absolutely cannot be bypassed, and it may erupt at any time. As long as Lian Qingyun knows about this matter, the two will definitely turn against each other.

Ning Heng asked the Golden Crow Sect to respond in advance and secretly dispatched outstanding disciples, not only to guard against the monster clan's comeback, but also to prevent Lian Qingyun from attacking the Golden Crow Sect after knowing the real cause of Lian Qifeng's death.

Now there is no bad news from Jin Wuzong, which means that Lian Qingyun doesn't know about it yet.

"The Marquis Huguo stepped forward to accept the order." Qing'er shouted loudly, interrupting Ning Heng's thoughts.

At that moment, Ning Heng stepped forward slowly under the watchful eyes of many courtiers, and came to the front of the main hall.

Qing'er held a scroll of imperial decree in her hand and looked at Ning Heng.

Ning Heng didn't dare to neglect, he knelt on one knee and accepted the imperial edict with both hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!" Ning Heng said.

Qing'er pursed her lips and chuckled, and stepped back to the side.

Ning Heng stood up and was about to return to his original position, but he heard Lian Hongchen say again: "In addition to rescuing the embarrassment of the emperor, Ning Heng, the protector of the country, also worked hard for the affairs of the north. Hou Ningheng has contributed a lot, if it weren't for his contribution, the Northland would still be in deep flames of war."

A group of courtiers were shocked again.

what's the situation?The easing of the situation in the North was actually due to Ning Heng?How much has this guy done?

Naturally, courtiers like this don't know what Ning Heng has done and the risks he has taken in order to keep the Northland Kyushu.

But Lian Hongchen knew it clearly.

She has been paying attention to the situation in the Northland. Whether it is by Lian Qingyun's side or in the states of the Northland, there are hidden stakes planted by the emperor for many years. Lian Hongchen will know what happened in the Northland.

Even among the monster clan, there are hidden piles of great spirits.

Among those human traitors who took refuge in the Yaozu and were scolded by the world, there are hidden stumps who have not been served by the Great Spirit. They took refuge in the Yaozu because they endured the humiliation and made sacrifices for the human race.

So Lian Hongchen knew about the conflict between the seven demon masters, that the demon master Cangyu had fallen, and even more knew that Ning Heng played an absolutely key role in it.

In any case, Lian Hongchen will not ignore these things Ning Heng has done, and now in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he wants to reward Ning Heng for his meritorious deeds.

"Ningheng, the Marquis of the Protectorate, has made great contributions in fighting against the demon clan and saved the people of the Northland. I specially bestowed the Marquis of the Protectorate Ningheng with the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army. All the Imperial Guards are under the command of the Marquis of the Protectorate." Lian Hongchen said loudly.

The court was completely silent, and the courtiers looked at each other, and for a while, no one knew what to say.

It's nothing more than a feudal marquis, or a fief, but now even such an important official position has been given to Ning Heng.

Commander of the Forbidden Army, this is not a petty official, but a very important position. In the past, only members of the Imperial Family of the Great Spirit were qualified to command the Forbidden Army of the Great Spirit. The position was handed over to an outsider who was not of Lian's blood.

The last commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army was naturally Wu Wenhou, and the entire Daling Forbidden Army was under the command of Wu Wenhou.

Now Ning Heng took over the position of Wu Wenhou and became the new commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army.

Except that he doesn't have the blood of the Daling Lian family, Ning Heng has almost become the second Marquis of Wu Wen.

At this moment, many courtiers above the court realized that Lian Hongchen rewarded Ning Heng with such fanfare, not only to reward Ning for his meritorious deeds, but to let Ning Heng make up for the damage caused by Wu Wenhou's treason. vacancy.

This was intentional by Lian Hongchen, Marquis Wu Wen defected and disappeared, the position of commander of the forbidden army cannot be vacant, otherwise it would be shameful for the huge forbidden army to have no leader.

At present, there are not many people that Lian Hongchen can fully trust, and Ning Heng happens to have credit for him. Instead of choosing a member of the royal family, it is better to directly give Ning Heng the position of commander of the imperial army.

In this way, Lian Hongchen can rest assured, and it can be regarded as not burying Ning Heng's ability and credit.

"Your Majesty! Please take it back!"
