Early the next morning, civil and military officials from all over the court gathered on the flagship, and there was a lot of noise on the canal. After an hour, Yang Shou announced the morning court.

"My lords, I will only announce one thing this morning, and that is to confer a title on the champion, Hou Qinhu. Do you have anything to say?"

The ministers' faces were full of joy. No one would be stupid enough to ruin the emperor's interest at this time, so Yang Shou asked Meng Qi to read out the prepared decree.

"Under the imperial edict, Champion Hou Qinhu accepts the edict."

Qin Hu quickly knelt on the ground.

"Champion Hou Qin Hu, the son of a general, has repeatedly made military exploits. I am very pleased. I specially grant the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Minister of the Ministry of War. I remember that his ancestors have served for generations. I met the Princess of Chang'an and chose a day to marry Qin Hu, so I ordered him to be granted the title. Qin Hu, the Prince Consort, has given a reward of two thousand acres to a farm on the outskirts of Beijing. The family property that was confiscated last time will also be returned together. I appreciate this!"

"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"

Qin Hu was totally unwilling, and he didn't know what Yang Shou was thinking about marrying that tigress from Chang'an to him. He didn't care about being such a bullshit consort. That bitch from Chang'an was vicious and ruthless. He is so evil-minded that he will definitely cause trouble when he comes to his house.

He might be killed one day.

"Little tiger, I know that you have always liked Chang'an, and you have made great achievements this time, so I have fulfilled your wish by the way. Are you satisfied?" Yang Shou asked with a smile.

Qin Hu groaned in his heart and thought to himself, how did you know that I like tigresses? My brain is not sick, so why do I like that thing?

"Your Majesty, I am extremely grateful. Your Majesty's kindness is so great that it fulfills my selfishness. I cannot repay your kindness. I will definitely die of exhaustion from now on."

Yang Shou really thought that Qin Hu liked Chang'an, because there were always various small frictions between them. In Yang Shou's eyes, this was actually a kind of teasing attraction between boys and girls.

Of course, he also knew very well that Chang An absolutely did not like Qin Hu, but he did not care about this, because as the daughter of the royal family, Chang An had no such thing as a happy or unhappy marriage. Their highest mission was to make sacrifices for the country and the country.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly emerged among the ministers. A minister stood up with a black face and a white jade tablet.

"Fan Aiqing, what do you want to say?"

Fan Zigai had just joined the army today. After relieving the siege, Yang Shou ordered him to go to the canal to report on his work and report on the situation in the eastern capital.

After he came today, he was full of anger because he felt that his contribution was greater than Qin Hu's.

Because if it weren't for him, Dongdu would have been captured by Yang Xuangan long ago.

In addition, Fan Zigai still didn't forget the hatred of his son being beaten. He couldn't help but watch Qin Hu rise step by step, so he couldn't suppress this evil fire even after a long time.

Fan Zigai thought he had made great achievements and was confident, so he immediately snorted: "Your Majesty, I think Qin Hu's meritorious service is purely a fluke, and his relatives have acted recklessly, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and his subordinates have been defeated repeatedly. If you don't punish or reward, how can you be honored to be honored as a prince-in-law? I ask the emperor to take back his order."

As soon as he said this, many people looked at him sideways.

But there were also some ministers in the center who remained silent, because they all knew that Fan Zigai was not completely talking nonsense, and he had indeed caught some of Qin Hu's pigtails.

And the emperor had just learned about these things.

"Fan Aiqing, what do you say?" Yang Shou was very unhappy. At this time, he didn't want anyone to attack Qin Hu, because Qin Hu was a very obedient person.

Although he was afraid of Qin Hu's military power and always used words to beat him, he actually gave him great recognition for his loyalty.

Especially the series of tests he has conducted on Qin Hu overtly and covertly these days have shown that this boy has no ambitions and is very loyal.

Qin Hu was even more puzzled. He knew that Fan Zigai had a problem with him, so it would not be surprising to impeach him.

But he kept saying that Qin Hu's relatives killed innocent people indiscriminately, and his subordinates were repeatedly defeated in battles. Where did this happen? It didn't exist at all.

Fan Zigai said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am staying in the eastern capital. Zhao Liu'er, the prefect of Jiangdu, once asked me to read a memorial from the emperor, claiming that the prime minister of Jiangdu County, Wang Shichong, had the audacity to trap Liu Yuanjin and surrender 60,000 troops, causing the local people to change.

, gathered again and defected to Du Fuwei's command, the situation became increasingly tense."

"In addition, General Qin's generals Gao Shida and Sun Xuanya fought against the thieves Sun Anzu and Dou Jiande in Hebei. They were defeated in three battles and lost their troops. At present, Sun Anzu's thieves have exceeded 100,000. With such a record, how can they be rewarded?"

"What's more, Wang Shichong was so audacious that he murdered Jiangdu and stayed in Song Jing. He clearly had the intention of treason. I suspect that Qin Hu supported his troops and was disobedient."

"Oh, you Fan Zigai, you are so mouthy!"

Qin Hu didn't know anything about these things Fan Zigai said, because he didn't dare to contact anyone in the past few days for fear that Yang Shou would be suspicious of him.

So he instinctively thought that Fan Zigai was talking nonsense and making things up.

"Whether I am spewing blood or not, all the adults present can testify. General Qin does not need to deny it. He is sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. Let's ask the emperor to make a decision." Fan Zigai was very proud, and he clearly had a chance to win.

Qin Hu suddenly felt uncertain. Thinking of Wang Shichong's virtue before leaving, he thought to himself, could he really have caused such a big trouble?

Yu Shiji suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has also received a secret report. The content is similar to what Sir Fan said. Jiangdong Du Fuwei is indeed besieging Jiangdu, and he is using Liu Yuanjin's subordinates. Some people say that Song Jing is because of his relationship with Wang Shichong.

He had a disagreement and was killed by an assassin sent by Wang Shichong."

"Wang Shichong then burned incense at Tongxuan Temple and swore an oath, promising to forget the blame for converting. Immediately, 60,000 people came from all over the country to gather and surrender. However, Wang Shichong set up an ambush and lured them to Huangting Stream to massacre them all. It was horrific."

"When the rebels in various places heard the news, they were filled with indignation and supported the rebel Du Fuwei as their leader. Indeed, many counties in Jiangdong fell again."

Yang Shou was silent for a moment, and then said with a stern face: "Gao Shida and Sun Xuanya have repeatedly made military exploits and killed countless thieves. Occasionally, small defeats are also common sense. I will never add any guilt."

"Wang Shichong's matter..."

Pei Yun hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Song Jing's matter is not like this. It should be that Song Jing was killed by the remnants of Liu Yuanjin, and Wang Shichong had no choice but to take this step in order to avenge Song Jing. Moreover, I

I believe that these rebellious people must not be tolerated and support traitors. Wang Shichong is right to kill them. If they don’t kill them, they won’t be enough to shock people’s hearts.”

"Fan Zigai, did you hear what Pei Ju said? I know Wang Shichong well. He is loyal, hates evil as much as he hates it, and is familiar with the art of war. I have always advocated the eradication of evil, and it is only right to kill these rebellious people.

, not only will I not blame him, but I will reward him." Yang Shou curled his lips and smiled sinisterly.
