As soon as the reward was released, the ministers immediately whispered. The soldiers of Huaixi congratulated Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yuyu and other descendants one after another, but Liu Bowen did not say a word. Li Shanchang looked ugly. As a prime minister of a country, after awarding the marquis, he heard his name. How could he feel? Looking at the constant gaze, Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some angrily breath and said to himself: "Your Majesty, I, Li Shanchang, have been to you for the past few years, and the residents are safe; I have transferred troops and transferred funds, restored money, deal with Huai salt, established tea laws, set iron smelting, set fish taxes, and the country's use is more abundant, but the people are not trapped and hardworking. Is it really not as good as those soldiers who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

Liu Bowen, who was standing beside him, also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving him and Li Shanchang without rewarding him. He really couldn't guess what Zhu Yuanzhang meant this time?"

In Fengtian Hall, the voices that had just been discussed were heard. As Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon throne did not say a word, no one dared to speak. Everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to speak out for a moment. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little depressed.

After a while of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and picked up an imperial edict from the dragon desk, handed it to Eunuch Li, and said coldly: "Read again!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Li bowed and slowly launched the imperial edict, saying: "In accordance with the heavenly power, the emperor ordered Duke Xuan, Li Shanchang, the prime minister, to protect the generals, to use people according to their talents, to make them each get their place, be skilled in rhetoric, learn stories, handle government affairs, make decisions like flow, generals and officials obey, and residents are safe; to transfer troops and transfer wages, restore money, deal with Huai salt, establish tea laws, open iron smelting, set fish tax, and the country's use is more abundant, but the people are not trapped. For my Ming Dynasty, I made many military achievements, so I specially named Yinqing Ronglu Dafu, Shangzhuguo, and record important military affairs. Li Shanchang, the Secretary of the Secretariat and the Prince's Young Master Xuanguo, was appointed as the founding minister of the civil service, and was specially promoted to Guanglu Dafu, Zuozhuguo, Taishi, and the Secretary of the Secretariat, and was appointed as the Minister of the State Council. He participated in the military and national affairs, and had 4,000 stones of salary; his descendants inherited; Iron Book, and I was exempted from death two times, and my son was spared from death one."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Before Eunuch Li finished speaking, Li Shanchang hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

At this time, the soldiers in Huaixi shouted, while the soldiers in Zhejiang were surprised. No one could have imagined that the six kings who were awarded were not Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, or Liu Bowen, but Li Shanchang, who did not kill one of the enemies and left a plan. How could such a result not be surprising?

Among the people, Yang Xian was the most unhappy. He thoughtfully created this scene, hoping to arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's disgust towards Li Shanchang so as to reduce the reward. In this way, with his current status, it is not impossible to fight him, but Zhu Yuanzhang has not reduced the reward. The reward he gave is truly unprecedented and unparalleled, which makes him envious and jealous.

Li Shanchang seemed extremely happy and glanced at Liu Bowen from the corner of his eyes. Now that the reward of the entire hall has ended, he is the only one left, but this person cannot be given a duke, and the marquis has also been awarded it. There is only one count, the Count and the Duke, which is really one from heaven and one from underground. This result has to be said to make him feel extremely happy.

Everyone was in the same mood as Liu Bowen, and at the same time they were secretly looking at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon throne. I wonder what kind of reward would this emperor who sat on the dragon throne have for this military advisor who knew astronomy and geography, yin and yang, and made first-class and first-class achievements in the battle of Poyang Lake and Pingjiang?

Liu Bowen bent and stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Through the analysis just now, he had already expected that this would be the result. At this moment, he was relatively calm and did not feel any impatient.

Zhu Yuanzhang once again took out an order from his arms, stared at Liu Bowen for a long time, as if he was a little hesitant, but his eyes fell on Li Shanchang's figure, gritted his teeth and handed over the imperial edict.

Eunuch Li took the imperial edict and slowly unfolded again. He paused for a moment, and his sharp voice resounded once again in Fengtian Hall.

"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered that Liu Ji, the chief censor and the scholar of Hongwenguan, was well-versed in classics and history, understood astronomy, and was excellent in military tactics. He was well-educated and had great talents. He was very upright and had great talents. After a long time of discussion, he galloped through the ages. When he was in trouble, he controlled the country. He was generous and had long-term principles. He was the leader of the country and the country was the first to use troops. You can speak, and I can judge and use it. As for today, I have achieved success. He was specially awarded the title of "The founding country, the official and the official, the official, the guardian of the official, and the guardian of the country, and the title of Chengyi Bo, and the salary was 241 stone!"

"This—?" Yang Xian, who had been waiting secretly, could hardly believe his ears. With Liu Bowen's contribution, he only had an earl, and his salary was only 241 stone! Is this really surprising, too unexpected?"

Liu Bowen stepped forward without moving, kneeled down and said, "Thank you Lord, Longyou!"

Everyone was stunned. Even Li Shanchang was stunned. He was not stupid about Liu Bowen's contribution, so he could naturally see that he was planning and winning thousands of miles away. He was able to bear the four-character comment of "My son's house". He thought that with this contribution, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to go with a duke, but he was given an earl and his salary was the lowest. This made him look at Zhu Yuanzhang a little strangely, but what surprised him even more was that Liu Bowen was not dissatisfied at all? This made him unable to guess what medicine Liu Bowen sold in his heart?

Liu Bowen had some opinions on this result. Not to mention that over the years, he had proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang that he had formulated a strategy for Zhu family, "first destroy Chen Youliang, then destroy Zhang Shicheng, and then north to the Central Plains, and unify the world." The strategy is comparable to the Longzhong versus Zhuge Kongming of Shu. This contribution is no problem to be named a marquis and a prime minister, but Zhu Yuanzhang only gave him a Zhengyi Bo, and his salary was only 241 stone, which was the lowest among the count. Compared to Li Shanchang's ranking as the leader of the Six Dukes, the difference is too big! He can only accept this title so calmly, but he still has to thank someone for staying with the Marquis Zhang Liang.
