C109

Although the positions of Chen Yuyang and the others originally had different rankings, there wasn't much difference. The strangest thing was that this time's imperial edict simultaneously promoted them to the rank of General of the Military Region, but the scope of promotion was different. Some had only risen by half a level, while others had risen by three.

The other strange thing was that the imperial edict didn't mention Gan Jianxuan's subordinates. It was as if all of them had been forgotten.

The imperial edict gave more rewards to Gonggong Xuan, and the garrison allocated funds to rebuild the palace. Many rewards were given to Helian Manqiu. It was the same for the officers and soldiers of the military region. Pensions were given to all families who had lost their lives in battle. Only the subordinates that were willing to give it to Xuan did not receive any rewards.

Helian Manqiu felt someone behind her lightly tugging at the corner of her clothes. She glanced back and saw that it was Chen Yu Yang and Luan City. The two of them had heavy expressions and secretly gave her a look.

He looked around and felt that after the decree was issued, the atmosphere had become heavy. The subordinates that were willing to give it to the mysterious were all looking at them with unfriendly gazes.

"This official is willing to give thanks to the decree. Long live, long live the king."

Giving his thanks, he received the imperial edict with both hands. Helian Manqiu also stepped forward to receive the imperial edict. There were two types of decrees. One was for Gongye and the other was for an ordinary official of Helian Mountain. Helian Manqiu had personally received the decree regarding military officials and warriors.

He secretly cursed that cunning and ruthless old man in his heart, and even announced that he still needed to come up with a lot of tricks. Yesterday, he had organized a barbeque feast to ease the relationship between the Military Region's soldiers and Gan Yuxuan's subordinates.

To sow discord, it was not only to sow dissatisfaction between the soldiers and soldiers of the military state that they had to sow discord, but also to sow discord between the soldiers and soldiers of the military state.

Old fellow!

The messenger who had arranged for the announcement to be sent down to the pavilion, to rest, to be rewarded by the messenger, and to be sent to the library.

He turned around and kneeled on the ground. All the generals of the military region, including Helian Manqiu, kneeled in front of Gan Yuxuan. They lowered their heads densely as they stared at the ground.

Helian Manqiu knelt down. Who else could stand up? Many of the high-ranking officers were clear about what was going on with this edict. They also saw the hostile looks on the high-ranking officers' faces.

"My lord, this lowly general does not have any meritorious service and does not dare to accept the bestowment of the imperial edict. This lowly general has been waiting for the grace of the Emperor to protect his family. I am already extremely grateful. How can I receive more rewards? "

When the Mysterious Master had arranged for the errand boy, Helian Manqiu and Chen Yuyang had discussed a few words in a low voice. They had a tacit understanding with each other, and all the generals had expressed that they would obey the young general's arrangements.

"All of you, rise. The imperial edict cannot be disobeyed."

Helian Manqiu did not get up. She slightly raised her head and looked at Gan Yuxuan as she cursed in a low voice, "The old guy on the throne room is truly an old fox who doesn't care."

Gan Zhixuan's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised as he glared fiercely at Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu's scolding voice was not loud, and it was coincidentally heard by Gan Zhixuan and a few of his trusted aides.

All of the generals who heard Helian Manqiu's insults stared at her with widened eyes. They could not believe what they had just heard. If he dared to insult the Emperor in front of all these generals and in front of the Lord, then he would at least be beheaded if the crime of being disrespectful was investigated.

"How dare you!"

In the end, no one else was present to hear. And now, there were quite a few high-ranking officers present. Although Helian Manqiu's voice was low, it was still heard by more than a dozen of the surrounding high-ranking officers.

"This lowly general understands his crimes, please grant me punishment, this lowly general is guilty."

Helian Manqiu curled her lips as she lowered her head and kowtowed. She knelt on the ground and raised her voice, "My Lord, I am your subordinate. I will obey your commands."

"Cough, cough …"

The trusted aides and guards beside Gan Yuxuan could not help but cough softly. When they heard Helian Manqiu insult the Emperor for his disrespect, although they were shocked for a moment, their hostility and dissatisfaction towards the generals of the military region had suddenly disappeared.

"This lowly general is willing to do anything for my lord. I am willing to listen to my lord's orders and would rather be a little soldier under my lord's command. This is my honor!"

Helian Manqiu was the first to clearly express her thoughts. Her slightly hoarse voice echoed in the hall for a long time.

"This lowly general is willing to do anything for my lord. I am willing to listen to my lord's orders and would rather be a little soldier under my lord's command. This is my honor!"

All the generals of the military region behind him shouted in unison as they lowered their heads and kowtowed.

"Rise, you are all my subordinates, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you're all hostile towards me." I treat all of you equally, and am discovered to have ill intentions. If you have internal strife, you can take the military law from yourself, and I will be merciless! "

"I will obey the Lord's orders."

All the generals of the military region answered in unison. They slowly stood up from the ground, bowed their heads, and retreated to the two sides to stand respectfully.

Chen Yu Yang stretched out his hand to help Helian Manqiu up from the ground and returned her to her wheelchair. He peeked at Gan Dajun's expression. This lord knew that the young general's legs were in good condition, so why did he pretend to not care about the young general's actions and allow the young general to continue his nonsense?

Helian Manqiu bowed once again and kneeled down from the wheelchair, "My Lord, today is the day when the warriors of the military region will have their lives." Helian Manqiu bowed once again and knelt down from the wheelchair: "My Lord, my lord, today is the day when the warriors of the military region have their lives.

After receiving Gan Jianxuan's promise, all of the generals were relieved. They once again kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Gan Jianxuan, thanking him for saving their families and soldiers.

"This is all the grace of the Emperor, and the majesty of his majesty. Thou shalt keep it in thy heart."

All the generals bowed in agreement. Helian Manqiu curled her lips as she could not be bothered to pay attention to what Gan Qianyu had said. Her contempt for that old fellow grew deeper and deeper.

When the surrounding people saw the look of disdain on Helian Manqiu's face, they felt somewhat better.

"My lord, this general obeys my lord's command. Although there is the grace of the emperor, this general is my lord's subordinate and does not have any meritorious services. Thus, I am willing to serve under my lord's command as a pawn."

Gan Zhixuan turned around and sat behind the handsome table, and looked at the generals around him with a deep gaze, "You are all subjects of the Great Hengkong Empire, and are all my subordinates. There is no difference. "Leave the words of the Mighty One here first. You shall practice and rest, and when the future day comes, I shall reward you for your meritorious service."

"Thank you, my lord."

When the news of the royal decree reached the back of the house, Duke Chen was confused. He listened to the royal decree with his eyes lit up. After thinking for a while, he slowly walked back to the house and sat alone in the living room, looking at the cold food and wine.

He didn't know who King Chen was. He just silently watched King Chen eavesdropping on the imperial edict, thinking that the young lord was just curious. After all, only a few people had seen the imperial edict and he wanted to know the content of the imperial edict.

Afterwards, Prince Chen did not hear the words of Gan Zhixuan, Helian Manqiu and the others. As a guest, he could not eavesdrop for too long, so why was he still by his side?

After listening to the imperial edict, Prince Chen went back to the wine table to think.

The royal father had sent out the decree too early. Perhaps the royal father had not received some news about the military state yet, but if he had known what a brilliant and talented person Helian Qingyu was, the imperial decree would have summoned the Helian siblings to the capital, and it would have been best if he could control these two people in his hands.

Right now, he had left Helian Qingyu in the military state as an acting general. However, he had left a huge helping hand for Gan Yuxuan.

This is good too, maybe letting him do this is better than doing it for royal father.

"Pa …"

Gan Yuxuan slammed his palm on the table, then turned around and glared at Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu used a timid gaze to look at Gan Yuxuan. She sat behind him with her head lowered.

"Kneel!"

Seeing Gan Yuxuan's anger, White Eagle Feather, the Hidden Guard, and the others were all shocked. They had never seen their Lord so angry before. They slammed the table in anger. In their hearts, a single glance and a few light words from their lord was enough to make the bravest general under their command kneel on the ground and unceasingly tremble.

Helian Manqiu slowly knelt down as she took off her clothes. She curled her lips and looked like she was about to cry. She raised her head and looked at Gan Jianxuan.

"Don't even try to put on a pitiful face. I won't forgive you today."

He had even submitted the reason that Helian Qingyu was not even fifteen years young, and was the first to act as general of the garrison in the Army Region. He did not expect that Helian Manqiu would dare to speak rudely in front of all these generals today, and that she would be extremely disrespectful to the Emperor.

All the generals in the hall withdrew, leaving only the White Hawk Feather and the Hidden Guard, the trusted generals who had heard the disrespectful words of Helian Manqiu.

These people were all his trusted aides. When they heard that Helian Manqiu was disrespectful to the Emperor behind his back, they didn't think much of it.

In addition, Chen Yu Yang and the other generals who had heard Helian Manqiu's disrespectful words were all Helian Manqiu's trusted aides, and they were willing to stay behind.

The few generals of the military region were all trembling with fear when they saw Gan Shixuan's anger. They peeked at his face and saw Helian Manqiu kneeling on the ground. They felt uneasy.

They had heard Helian Manqiu slander the Emperor behind his back and speak disrespectfully of the Emperor, so it was understandable that the Lord was furious. At that time, there were still many subordinates who were willing to give up the throne to the Emperor, and more than a dozen people who had heard Helian Manqiu's words.

They wanted to kneel down and plead for mercy, but they didn't dare to. They had an unspeakable reverence towards Jia Yu Xuan; even though Jia Yu Xuan had never punished them, they would always be extremely respectful every time they saw Jia Yu Xuan.

Now, they were listening under the banner of Gonggong. They were Gonggong's subordinates and worshiped him as their master. If they were to plead for Helian Manqiu, it would seem that they did not place Gonggong in their eyes.

Helian Manqiu's words of disrespect to the Emperor in public indeed deserved to be punished.

Chen Yu Yang pressed his hand on his back, hinting everyone to stay put for now. They made their move at this time, and it was clear that they were going to get a deeper level of misunderstandings from the imperial edict. The reason why Gonggong Xuan had kept them here was probably to see if they were truly willing to give up their lives to Gonggong.

Zhongda peeped anxiously at Gan's expression and then looked at Helian Manqiu.

Helian Manqiu's gaze swept across the faces of the few generals. Her clear and translucent eyes expressed a certain meaning, she wanted these people to not speak out and plead for mercy.

Today, she had purposely said this in front of Gan Zhixuan, in order to dispel the fear and discontent of Gan Zhixuan's subordinates. Even though she was going to be given a Xuan punishment for this matter, there were only a few people who heard her words. If it wasn't Gouyu's trusted aides or her trusted aides, she definitely wouldn't kill her.
