Dou Wei heard this and looked at the others.

More news has been sent these days.

Yanzhou is now basically stable, and it is only for the court to deal with Yuan Li and reward the King of Yan.

The second prince, the third prince, the crown prince and other princes felt sad.

The news from the palace was that their father seemed to be in a good mood.

I highly praised the King of Yan.

However, they knew that their father was very fond of merit.

It would be strange if the King of Yan made such great contributions that he would not take it into himself.

But even so, they were still jealous.

Even the prince was unwilling to speak for the King of Yan at this time.

Zhao Heng glanced at the ministers and saw that the officials of the Si clan in the court looked cold.

Obviously, they were unwilling to give merit to the King of Yan.

And this was within his expectations.

At this court meeting, he wanted to take advantage of the fear of the powerful clan against the King of Yan to achieve his goals.

Not only did the powerful tribes satisfy them, but he also showed them to the King of Yan that he did his best to reward him.

"Is the great thing the emperor wants to say is a reward to the King of Yan?" At this moment, Ma Yuan suddenly spoke.

He is back.

And he has reported to Zhao Heng’s own affairs in Yanzhou.

Zhao Heng was very happy and praised the King of Yan, who meant to hand over all the seven counties of Yanzhou to the King of Yan.

So, now the officials don’t want to take on this conversation, he insists on taking it.

For him, no one can erase the contributions of the King of Yan, and the emperor also had this meaning.

"This time, the King of Yan defeated the Yuan family and attacked Yanzhou, and then defended Yan Pass. He made outstanding contributions. The emperor, I think he should be rewarded." Yang Feng stepped out and said loudly.

"I will discuss it at the end." Mo Kuan also stood up at this time.

Zhao Heng nodded, secretly delighted.

When Ma Yuan came to see him, his plan for this reward began.

He deliberately revealed the news to Ma Yuan, just to let Ma Yuan cooperate with him in the court today.

So he said: "As the Censor Ma, Duke of Yiguo, and General Mo said, if there were no King Yan, Beidi had taken Yan Pass this time, I am afraid that my Dasong would have been full of war. It was the King of Yan that allowed Dasong to save Dasong from the suffering of war. Such contributions were unprecedented. After thinking about it over the past few days, I decided that the remaining five counties in Yanzhou would be merged into the Yan King's territory. In the future, the King of Yan will assume the responsibility of guarding Yanzhou and Yan Pass."

As soon as Zhao Heng said this, Dou Wei and others were all fading.

They thought that the reward to King Yan would be very high this time, but they did not expect that Zhao Heng would confer the entire Yanzhou to King Yan.

In this way, the King of Yan will truly become the king of Yanzhou.

"Emperor, although the King of Yan has made great contributions this time, if the soldiers of Yanguan fought bloody battles, how could they defeat the people of Beidi? I think that this contribution cannot be all due to the King of Yan." At this time, an official came out, and this person was the Minister of War.

Dou Wei was slightly proud when he saw an official leaving the list.

This time, neither he nor the Six Ministers would argue directly with Zhao Heng, but secretly envoy other officials to speak first.

In this way, they can just breathe in.

"It's simply nonsense. No one denies the contributions of the Yanguan soldiers, but the Yanguan soldiers cannot defend Yanguan. Even the Yanguan generals said this in the memorial." An official looked at each other and scolded Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows the methods of Dou Wei and others.

When I went to court, I was already prepared.

"Emperor, even so, he cannot hand over Yanzhou to the King of Yan. An example of Yuan's rebellion is right in front of him. If the King of Yan rebelled in the future, who can restrain him?" an official shouted loudly.

"It's ridiculous, ridiculous. At the beginning, I don't know who said that King Yan and General Mo colluded with him. The Yuan family suffered injustice. What was the result? You defended him and became traitors, and you suspected that you saved Dasong. Now you dare to make such nonsense." An official snorted coldly.

"The King of Yan is indeed wronged now, but after he obtained Yanzhou, who can guarantee that his ambitions will not grow? Even if the emperor is there, he will not rebel. What if the new king succeeds to the throne?" At Dou Wei's warning, another official left the list.

He does have his own selfish intentions in this matter.

But he was also considering Da Song that the Yuan family's sole control of Yanzhou was a heart-wrenching problem for the court.

To make the King of Yan take charge of Yanzhou, it means that the old illness has just passed away and the new illness has returned.

On the dragon throne, Zhao Heng deliberately looked dissatisfied and continued to watch the officials quarrel.

At this time, another official said, "Emperor, the King of Yan has indeed made outstanding contributions, but it is inappropriate to enthrone the King of Yan and enthrone the King of Yan. It is enough to enthrone the two counties."

"Since the founding of the Dasong Kingdom, eight princes have been in charge of the land of a state. These princes rely solely on favor and have not made any achievements. Is it impossible for the King of Yan to make such a wonderful contribution now?" Some officials confronted each other.

"The slander of these eight princes is not in the border area, and Yanzhou is the throat of my great sang. How can I hold it to one person again?"

“…”

Officials said something, and I said something, and soon the court was in chaos.

At this time, when Zhao Heng saw the time coming, he snorted angrily: "Shut up, my intention has been decided this time. The King of Yan deserves this reward for this merit, so there is no need to say anything more."

Dou Wei heard this and exchanged glances with Han Zheng and others.

Zhao Heng's attitude is very firm.

But even so, they won't give in easily.

The current great song is that the power clan and the royal family rule the world together, and it is not the emperor's only one who has the final say.

So he said, "The emperor, I am also thinking about the great praise. It is not for the King of Yan. The two counties have been granted land. This is already a great reward."

"Emperor, the prime minister's words come from the heart, I will discuss them!" Han Zheng said.

"I also agree." Liang Kai left the list at this time."

"I'm going to discuss it." Prince Andao.

"I'm asking." Xie Duan took a step forward.

Zhao Heng pretended to be down, "What if I don't agree?"

"If the emperor does not agree, I am willing to take off my court robes and dismiss the office and return home." Dou Wei said.

"You..." Zhao Heng pointed at Dou Wei and others.

Then he slapped the armrest of the dragon chaise with a helpless look of compromise, "Since that's the case, I will give Pingjun and Liaojun to the King of Yan, and allow his personal soldiers to expand to 120,000 people. Moreover, Yanguan will be guarded by him in the future, so no further discussion will be allowed, and the court will be dispersed!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and turned around and left.

Ma Yuan frowned and looked at Dou Wei. Since the emperor ordered him to do so, he could not change it.

Dou Wei won this time.

Dou Wei noticed Ma Yuan's gaze and returned with a proud smile.

For them, this is the best result.

There are seven counties in Yanzhou, four counties in the north, and three counties in the south.

Among them, the four northern counties are the most barren, and the three southern counties are the most wealthy.

Even if the territory of King Yan was expanded to the four counties, he was afraid he would not be able to support 120,000 soldiers.

The next thing to consider is how to check and balance the King of Yan in Yanzhou.

"Yuan Family." Dou Wei looked at Han Zheng and saw that Han Zheng was also looking at him.

Although the Yuan family suffered heavy damage this time, its foundation is still there.

And there is no evidence of Yuan Li's rebellion.

Perhaps the Yuan family can still use it, after all, the hatred between the King of Yan and the Yuan family will only be deeper after this battle.

And who cares about whether the Yuan family rebelled?

As long as Yanzhou is stable!

...

Three days later.

A team of imperial guards set out from the palace, and Liang Cheng was among the guards.

At the order of Zhao Heng, he went to Yancheng to announce the imperial edict in person to show the emperor's grace.
