Fengtian Hall!
Guo Ying, Lan Yu, Li Jinglong.
As well as the many generals who had gone on campaign, standing according to rank.
"Your servants pay respects to Your Majesty. May Our Emperor live ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years."
The generals were all clad in armor as they bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang on the high seat.
Everyone present held a noble title, so there was naturally no need for them to kneel.
"Rise, my ministers."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly and raised a hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The generals thanked him in unison, then straightened up and looked respectfully yet anxiously at Zhu Yuanzhang on the high seat.
"Reporting to Your Majesty."
"In this expedition against the Northern Yuan, we carried out the Northern Expedition under Your Majesty's command. After eleven months, we were fortunate not to disgrace our mission, achieving victory in the Northern Expedition and pacifying the Northern Yuan."
"We await Your Majesty's instructions."
As Great General, Guo Ying respectfully reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"In this Northern Expedition, the Great General's contributions were indispensable."
"We are deeply gratified."
"Beyond the Great General, every one of you generals rendered distinguished service in the Northern Expedition. Your merits cannot be overlooked."
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang praised the generals.
"Everything for the Ming Dynasty."
Upon hearing the praise.
Led by Guo Ying, the generals answered in unison.
"Father Emperor."
"Now that the generals have returned triumphantly, it is only right to assess their merits and bestow rewards."
Zhu Biao, standing on the steps, reminded him with a smile.

Guo Ying and the other generals all showed expectant expressions.

Without question.
At this moment,
