In the Golden Throne Hall of the imperial palace, Crown Prince Ji Yuan sat at the head, bearing a pleasant expression with a smile on his face, as he looked down upon the assembly of courtiers below.
"You all must have heard the news of the great victory at Yan State yesterday, haven't you?" asked Crown Prince Ji Yuan with a smile.
Pausing a moment, the crown prince continued, "This morning, let us set aside other matters. What I mainly want to discuss with you, my dear courtiers, is the matter of rewarding those for their military achievements."
At this, Minister of the War Department Chen Yuanli stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "May I know what kind of rewards Your Highness is considering?"
The crown prince said, "The battle at Yan State was a great triumph, and all the generals and soldiers made significant sacrifices. As they shed their blood and risked their lives for Da Xia, we certainly cannot treat them unfairly."
