Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 481
The Prime Minister of the Great Yan Empire is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Tonight, Lu Hao held a banquet in Changqing Palace to reward the three armies and entertain civil and military officials. It was an incomparable honor to be invited to attend.

The first main legion, headed by Xuanyuan Lingyu, had three deputy generals, as well as more than a dozen people joining the army, including generals, the newly selected Cao Ming and others.

The second main force headed by Liu Ruxu came with four deputy generals and more than a dozen generals, as well as the newly selected Wang Rui and others.

What Lu Hao meant was to let these newcomers enter the army for training and understand the entire combat system, so that they could replace the two beauties in the future.

After all, they were worried about loyalty issues in the early stage, which was why they took over the power of the legion.

After Lu Hao ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, these problems will be solved, and they can naturally return to the imperial capital to rest.

The most important thing is that the two generals are still one of Lu Hao's nine concubines. How can they be allowed to stay in the army?
Many civil and military officials, led by the six ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, also came.

The only person who was not an imperial military official or an imperial civil servant was Xia Wei's father, Xia Peilin, the master of Jintao Pavilion.

Lu Hao handed all the gold and silver jewelry that the empire obtained this time to Jintao Pavilion for auction. He was Xia Wei's father, so he naturally became a special guest at the dinner.

It was the first time to participate in a banquet of this level. Xia Peilin was both excited and worried that he would not do well.

Fortunately, Xia Wei was by his side, which made him feel more relaxed.

Of course, Xiao Yun'er's parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law were also among the special guests, sitting with Mr. Dong Bifang.

On the other side of Hengyang City, National Advisor Liu Rufeng and Chief of Logistics Situ Tianyin came hand in hand, followed by Anguo General Dong Xiaojun, City Lord Liu, Construction Secretary Peng and others.

As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Yi Ruyan came hand in hand with his sister Yi Rushuang, the leader of the Imperial Guards.

Wu Qingyu, as the intelligence chief responsible for the intelligence security of Yandi City, appeared behind the Yi sisters.

Next came the six great ministers of the empire, headed by Tantai Mingyue, the chief and assistant minister of the Military Aircraft Department.

Of course, I don’t know if Tantai Mingyue had any selfish motives for supporting Lu Hao to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Anyway, she was happy that her daughter could become the queen.

Next came the three noble concubines Chen Yuhuan, Dong Xiaowan, and Xiao Yun'er. Nangong Ruoxue supported Chen Yuhuan, obviously worried that something might happen to her because of her big belly.

After everyone sat down, the voice of Mr. Xiao Xizi came from outside, which was very penetrating.

"The prime minister is here!"

Everyone in the hall immediately stood up and turned to look outside the door.

Lu Hao walked over slowly, and Tantai Xiyao held his arm, looking very intimate.

Tonight, both of them were dressed up for the occasion. The man was handsome, the woman was stunning, both talented and beautiful. They made a perfect match for each other.

"Meet the Prime Minister!"

Everyone bowed slightly.

Lu Hao smiled and took the beautiful woman directly to sit on the main seat in the middle.

"Commanders and lords, please excuse me! Please take a seat!"

After Lu Hao sat down, he said loudly.

With an order, everyone sat down and waited for Lu Hao to speak.

"My fellow soldiers, my lords, I led the two armies to bombard Hangu Pass and marched on an expedition to the Eastern Turks. I successfully completed the set task and incorporated the Far Eastern Prairie of the Eastern Turks into the territory of the empire..."

Before Lu Hao finished speaking, someone started shouting.

"The Prime Minister is mighty! The Prime Minister is mighty..."

The soldiers of the two main legions shouted loudly.

The fat piece of meat in the Far East Prairie has now been swallowed up by the Great Yan Empire, and the empire's territory has increased by one-third.

Such a huge national territory is unprecedented in the history of the empire, and it is also the largest empire territory in the history of Qianyuan Continent.

It is precisely because of this that when the civil and military officials saw the decline of the Murong royal family, they supported Lu Hao to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and change the dynasty.

"In this expedition, the soldiers worked together, braved hardships, and fought bloody battles. Their contributions are indispensable. The truth is that rewards and punishments are clear. Each person will be rewarded 5000 taels of silver. Soldiers who died in battle will receive three times the pension..."

"The bonuses for officers and soldiers will be gradually increased according to the size of their official positions and military achievements, with a cap of 10 taels of silver..."

"During the period when the Prime Minister is away, the six ministers and the imperial civil and military officials will handle the imperial government affairs and stabilize the empire's rear. According to the size of the official position and the size of the responsibility, the bonus will be gradually increased, with a cap of 10 taels of silver, and the salary will be doubled."

Lu Hao talked about rewards for merit and announced incentives.

"Thank you so much, Prime Minister! The general and others will follow the Prime Minister to the death!" The Lu family army, led by Xuanyuan Lingyu, Liu Ruxu and Dong Xiaojun, stood up collectively, knelt on the ground, and loudly expressed their loyalty.

"On behalf of the civil and military officials, the veteran minister and others would like to thank the Prime Minister for his love! I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his grace!"

The six ministers, along with all the civil and military officials, knelt on the ground at the same time and shouted in unison.

"The truth has said that I will give everyone a big surprise tonight."

Lu Hao took out a bag, raised it high above his head, and said loudly: "The things in this bag are a surprise for everyone. However, this thing is too precious, and everyone can only choose one!"

"Master Xiang? What is it?"

Dong Xiaojun asked loudly from below.

"General Dong, why don't you guess what this bag contains? If you guess correctly, I will let you come up and pick first."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Master Xiang, can we all guess?"

Pei Yong, who was under Xuanyuan Lingyu's command, asked loudly.

"General Pei, if you can guess it, I will ask you to come up and choose first."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Master Prime Minister, has anyone guessed it? You can choose first?"

Wang Rui, who was under Liu Ruxu's command, asked loudly.

"Of course it is true, but there is only one chance. Now it depends on whether you want it or not?"

Lu Hao raised the bag in his hand again.

This bag used to contain bullets, grenades and other items. The bag is about the size of a backpack.

Although the bag was bulging, there was no shape at all outside.

There was a lot of chatter in the hall, and everyone was obviously interested.

"I'll give you some time. If you can't guess, you can only choose based on everyone's dignity."

Lu Hao said loudly.

"Master Prime Minister, is there gold in your bag?"

Dong Xiaojun asked loudly.

"No, you guessed wrong!"

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Master Prime Minister, are there gold, silver and jewelry in the bag?"

Pei Yong asked loudly.

"no!"

Lu Hao shook his head.

"Master Xiang, are the things in the bag very precious?"

Wang Rui asked loudly.

"Wang Rui, what the Prime Minister can bring out must be very precious, there is no doubt about this!"

Cao Ming, who was under Xuanyuan Lingyu's command, took over the words loudly.

"Yes, very precious!"

Lu Hao nodded slightly.

This time, everyone was even more curious and immediately started talking among themselves.

In fact, diamonds are also found on the mainland, but they are very rare.

However, diamonds are so precious, how could there be such a big bag?
