CHAPTER 114
Marshal title, Wushuang!
Dingtian Capital of the Tang dynasty, Imperial Palace, Heavenly Palace.
"If there's something, report it early. If there's nothing, withdraw from court."
"Your subjects are fine."
It was still the old eunuch's formatted answer with the civil and military officials.
At present, the Tang dynasty was at peace and prosperity. The country was prosperous and the people were at peace. There were no natural disasters. Therefore, the civil and military officials only came to the Heavenly Palace to meet with Tang Tianqin every day. Then, they would withdraw from the court and go home.
Tang Tianqin was just going through the motions. If not for the rule passed down by the ancestors that he had to attend morning court no matter what happened, Tang Tianqin would not have attended morning court.
"Leave." Just as the old eunuch expressionlessly closed his eyes and was about to dismiss the court session, a figure suddenly barged in from outside.
The person was dressed in a black robe with red stripes, with a golden badge hanging from his waist. He was dressed as a secret guardian of Jixianwei.
The secret guardian rushed in and ran to the front of the civil and military officials. He threw himself onto the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! Good news came from the Western Wu people! Good news!! "
If anything happened on the battlefield during wartime, the secret guardians could directly report to the Heavenly Palace without reporting. This was also a rule set by the ancestors of the Tang dynasty. Therefore, Tang Tianqin did not blame the panicked secret guardian who ran in. Instead, after hearing the contents of the secret guardian's words, Tang Tianqin hurriedly said, "Speak!"
"Yes!" The Secret Guardian nodded, then raised his head and read aloud, "On the 5th day of the 3rd month of the 50th year of the Tianjin calendar, the Tang dynasty's Marshal Tang Jin led 10 million troops to battle the Wu people's 10 million troops at the Junxue Valley. In this battle, 163,764 of our men died, 398,967 of our men were seriously injured, and 1,493,442 of our men were lightly injured. The enemy has suffered 5,379,771 casualties, and the number of casualties is unknown. "
When they heard of Tang Jin's accomplishments, the Heavenly Hearing Hall was abuzz. All the officials were stunned by Tang Jin's accomplishments.
"Alright!"
The sound of a table being slammed and Tang Tianqin cheering could be heard in the hall. The officials stopped their discussion and looked at Tang Tianqin on the dragon stairs.
"My beloved subjects." Tang Tianqin placed his hands on the table and looked excitedly at the civil and military officials below. He said, "Marshal Ping Xi has actually achieved such a feat! The Heavens are really helping the Tang dynasty! Tell me, what kind of reward should I give Marshal Ping Xi? "
It was no wonder that Tang Tianqin was so agitated. Tang Jin had achieved such a glorious victory. In the future, Tang Jin's name would definitely be recorded in the annals of history. When that time came, even he, the current emperor, would be recorded in the annals of history! Being passed down through the ages, this was an honor that none of the previous emperors had ever received!
The civil and military officials below were also very excited, but after hearing Tang Tianqin's words, they all fell silent, no one saying anything.
Tang Tianqin was taken aback when he saw that no one was speaking. The excitement on his face gradually faded as he slowly sat back down. He supported his forehead with his right hand and began to ponder. Yes, what else could he give Tang Jin? Status? Tang Jin was already the King Of Heaven, and now the Marshal of millions of people. In the eyes of the ancestors, his status was even higher than his own. What could he give him? Treasures? Forget it. The things that he could move might not be in his eyes. Beauties? Let's see why Tang Jin went crazy …
After thinking for a long time, Tang Tianqin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration. As the emperor of the Tang dynasty, he actually had nothing to reward his own meritorious subjects. He was really a failure.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's feasible." Just as Tang Tianqin was worrying, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Dongjing, stood up and bowed to Tang Tianqin.
Liu Dongjing's personal ability could only be considered average, but he was tactful and had many ideas. He was also quite good at flattering, so he was quite liked by Tang Tianqin.
Seeing Liu Dongjing stand up, Tang Tianqin's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Beloved subject Liu, if you have any ideas, just say it. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong."
"Yes!" Liu Dongjing was happy in his heart, but there was no change on his face. "The King Of Heaven was able to achieve such a result. To a certain extent, it has already proved the King Of Heaven's ability to command. I think that since Wang Ye is fighting at the front, we should also give strong support in the rear. First, we should send more troops and horses. Second, we should keep up with the supplies. Finally, Your Majesty should announce the results of this battle to the world and share with the world the results of Wang Ye's battle. Your Majesty should be happy and think that Wang Ye's name is correct. "
Liu Dongjing said so much, but in fact, it was as if he didn't say anything. Sending more troops and supplies would definitely be given in the future. It couldn't be considered a reward at all. Announcing this matter to the world, even if he didn't say it, it was reasonable to do so. Everyone understood that Liu Dongjing stood up this time mainly to help Tang Tianqin out and not let Tang Tianqin be too embarrassed.
"Good!" After listening to Liu Dongjing's words, Tang Tianqin also went with the flow. He nodded and said, "Pass down my order! Send another five million troops to support Marshal Ping Xi. The estimated second and third batches of supplies will be sent to the front lines together. Also, announce Marshal Ping Xi's battle results to the world and bestow the title of Marshal Wu Shuang! "
Bestowing the title of Wu Shuang meant that Tang Jin was no longer Marshal Ping Xi, but Marshal Wu Shuang!
Marshal Ping Xi was only an official position. It was mainly bestowed to the Marshal who presided over the war of the Wu people in the west. But bestowing the title of Wu Shuang was different. This was a title, just like Tang Jin's title of Wang Ye's Prodigy of Heaven. It was unique, and its meaning and status were completely different.
On the same day, the announcement board at the entrance of every city of the Tang dynasty was posted with the announcement of the Tang dynasty, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"On the 5th day of the 3rd month of the 50th year of the Tianqin calendar, the Tang dynasty's Marshal Ping Xi, Tang Jin, led ten million troops and engaged in a great battle with the Wu people's ten million troops in the Junxue Valley. In this battle, 163,764 of our troops died, 398,967 of our troops were seriously injured, and 1,493,442 of our troops were lightly injured. The enemy lost 5,379,771 of our troops, and the number of people who were seriously injured or lightly injured is unknown. In recognition of Marshal Ping Xi's great service, the title of Wu Shuang is bestowed upon him. This announcement is made to the world, and everyone rejoices. "
After reading the announcement, the entire Tang dynasty was shaken.
Whether it was the enmity and blood feud that had been passed down from ancient times, or the deliberate exaggeration of the Tang dynasty, the people of the Tang dynasty hated the Wu people very much. They viewed them as an alien race. However, Tang Jin was able to defeat the Wu people and achieve such a great result, slaughtering the Wu people's army. Therefore, no matter what the rumors about Tang Jin were, at this moment, Tang Jin was the hero of the Tang dynasty, and the God of War in the eyes of the people of the Tang dynasty.
The King Of Heaven, Tang Jin, Marshal Ping Xi, Marshal Ping Tang Jin, once again, his legend spread to every corner of the Tang dynasty.
People respected him.
Wu people, summon the Magi Palace.
The Magi Emperor, who had just been scolded by a Magus warrior, was now venting his anger to the hundreds of officials under his command. Judging by the Magi Emperor's angry look, it seemed that he was about to eat people.
After roaring for a while, the Magi Emperor sat back down on his dragon chair and said coldly, "Send my order! Appoint Wu Ming as the Marshal Ping Dong, and send him to the frontline with the army. We must defeat the human army! Also, send another ten-million soldiers to the frontline. "
At the same time, the spirit beast army and the other top-grade forces started to move as well. In a short while, the detailed records of Tang Jin's battle were placed on the tables of the leaders of those forces.
The records were so detailed that they even clearly recorded which foot Tang Jin took first when he went out of the house.
While the situation in the Pan Gu world was surging, and all forces were busy trying to save Tang Jin, Tang Jin was lying in his own room, moaning weakly.
To be honest, to Tang Jin, even though he was seriously injured, he didn't want to experience the weakness he felt after using the Eye of Heaven Trial.
The weakness he felt after using the Eye of Heaven Trial was complete and utter weakness. Not only did he lose all of his power and become absent-minded, even Tang Jin's immortal thunder body seemed to have softened. The feeling of losing all of his power made Tang Jin especially terrified. Tang Jin could only stay in this half-conscious state for a few days.
This time, Tang Jin was weak for three whole days. After three days, Tang Jin recovered a bit of his strength and spirit power, and it took him another day to fully recover. On the fifth day, Tang Jin walked out of his room.
As soon as Tang Jin opened the door, Cheng Yin, who was already waiting outside, quickly ran in. "Wang Ye! The imperial court has sent an imperial edict. I told them that Wang Ye was in seclusion, and they have been waiting for two days. "
"Oh." Tang Jin nodded casually. After the battle in the Blood Army Valley, Tang Jin expected that the imperial court would send an imperial edict, so when he heard that there was an imperial edict waiting for him, he wasn't surprised.
When he walked to the main entrance of the Marshal's Residence, Eunuch Zhang was already waiting there. It seemed that as soon as Tang Jin woke up, someone had already notified him.
Seeing Tang Jin come out, Eunuch Zhang nodded to Tang Jin, then opened his hand and read the imperial edict, "Marshal Ping Xi, receive the imperial edict."
"This official is here." Tang Jin cupped his hands and replied, but he didn't kneel like the other officials.
After hearing Tang Jin's reply, Eunuch Zhang continued to read, "By the auspicious signs of the heavens, the Emperor decrees: Marshal Ping Xi, Tang Jin, has a brilliant battle record in the Blood Army Valley. He defeated the Wu people and the barbarians. Marshal Tang Jin is granted the title of Peerless Marshal. In addition, an additional five million troops will be sent. The second and third batches of supplies will also be sent out to encourage Tang Jin. "
"This official receives the imperial edict."
Taking the imperial edict from Eunuch Zhang, Tang Jin looked in the direction of the Wu people, narrowed his eyes, and said to Cheng Yin behind him, "Go, inform the generals to come to my residence to see me."
Cheng Yin acknowledged and retreated to inform the other generals.
At the same time, the entire front line of the Wu City battlefield knew that Tang Jin was given the title of Marshal, Peerless Marshal!
