(Chapter 1 arrives, there will be chapter 1 later, I have something to deal with in these two days, so I'm sorry for the delay in updating)

The evening of the coronation was celebrated with a grand banquet, and various festivities were held throughout Paris. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet hall of the Tuileries Palace was very lively. Everyone was filled with joyful smiles and guessed what kind of award they would get tonight. Compared with the celebrations held during the day today, the content of the evening is what they are most looking forward to. Especially those who followed Xiao Jie in the early years seemed very happy and eager.

At 7:15, Xiao Jie appeared in the banquet hall with Angel on his arm, and the scene suddenly became heated. Everyone shouted "Long Live" and showed their respect to Xiao Jie. Under the auspices of Prime Minister Cambáceres, the banquet officially began. The first item is that Xiao Jie rewards those who have made great contributions to the establishment of the empire.

After looking at the excited people in the audience, Xiao Jie took out the materials he had already prepared: "Subjects of the empire, today is the day for the reconstruction of the empire, a day worthy of celebration by the people of the whole country. Those who have made outstanding contributions to the rebuilding of the empire are sincerely grateful and will be honored at the same time."

The first person to accept the award was Xiao Jie's father, Joseph. Without his early support for Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie would not have achieved what he is today. There is a big difference between the West and the East. Even if the son becomes the emperor, the father will not become the Supreme Emperor like the East. At most, he will be named a prince. Joseph was the prince before, so there was no room for further promotion, so he had to expand the material rewards. During Napoleon's period, the prince could receive a salary of 1 million francs per year, while Xiao Jie raised Joseph's salary to 5 million francs per year. Of course, Joseph is not short of this money, he has a huge family property himself.

Since the other members of the Bonaparte family did not come to Xiao Jie's coronation ceremony, the three who came were all looking for faults, so Xiao Jie did not intend to confer titles on other members of the family.

The next one is the French imperial government. As the prime minister of the government, Campaceres is undoubtedly ranked first. Although he was already the Grand Duke of France in the time of Napoleon, but now Xiao Jie can only restore his title of duke, after all, only family members can be canonized. After him is Foreign Minister Compenny, this time also due to his good performance after Xiao Jie took control of Paris, he was promoted from Marquis to Duke. Then there is the Minister of the Interior, Claire, who was an old courtier during the Napoleon period. He also helped Xiao Jie a lot this time, and was also canonized as the Duke of France. Then Xiao Jie conferred a series of marquises and earls one after another. These are important government officials or people who have helped Xiao Jie a lot. There are also some viscounts and barons who don't need to be canonized by Xiao Jie himself, and those can be handed over to the Ministry of the Interior.

Then came the canonization of the Iberian government. The first place is of course Forbeck. Iberia has developed very well under his management, and Xiao Jie also appreciates him very much. Therefore, Forbeck was canonized as Grand Duke of France this time. Behind them were Foreign Minister Grigio and Interior Minister Shaft, who had also been conferred the title of Marquis of France from their previous counts. After that is Xiao Jie's father-in-law, Iberia's finance minister Otov. Since he is Jewish, he was brushed off in the last bounty submission. But this time is different, Xiao Jie is the emperor, of course he can make decisions about conferring titles, and Angel is already a queen, so Otov was canonized as the Marquis of France as he wished. Autov was very happy, and his eyes filled with excitement, because he was the first nobleman born out of the Jews in hundreds of years. Other cabinet members and government officials have also been canonized.

Now that the government is done, it's the military's turn. The first is the French side. Marshal Davout was canonized as the Grand Duke of France, and Marshals of the Napoleonic period, such as Marshal Bessières, Marshal Lanz and Marshal Oudinot, were also canonized as Grand Duke of France. Saint-Cyr was also promoted to Field Marshal of France, Grand Duke of France. These generals who cooperated with the Iberian army in capturing Paris can be said to have received generous rewards, and other generals who made contributions in the war have also been canonized one after another.

Finally, there is the Iberian military, they are Xiao Jie's direct troops, and Xiao Jie will never treat his subordinates badly. Ranked first is the deputy commander of the 88th Army and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Iberian Army, General Dugor. As Xiao Jie's first partner, his contribution is undoubtedly considerable. In recognition of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal of France and was also conferred the title of Grand Duke of France. Behind him is naturally the Chief of Staff of the 88th Army, the Chief of Staff of the Iberian Army, Lieutenant General Eck. He is also one of the founders of the 88th Legion and Xiao Jie's early partner. In recognition of his meritorious service, he was also promoted to Field Marshal of France, and Xiao Jie canonized him as Grand Duke of France. The third place is somewhat unexpected. Xiao Jie's adjutant in the early years, the former director of the National Security Bureau of the French Empire, Six, made his debut in front of everyone for the first time. When he was the head of the National Security Agency, he provided Iberia with a lot of intelligence. After the fall of France, he also insisted on commanding Iberia's intelligence system in France. His achievements are also very great. In recognition of his meritorious service, he was also promoted from Lieutenant General to Field Marshal, Grand Duke of France. The fourth place is the former surrendered general, and now the deputy chief of staff of the Iberian Army, Misend. After being reused by Xiao Jie, he has been conscientious and has made indelible contributions to the construction of the Iberian army and the victory of the war. Therefore, he will also be promoted to Field Marshal of France, Grand Duke of France. Lieutenant General Petrescu, Deputy Commander of the Cavalry Corps, Major General Brad, Commander of the 1st Division of the 88th Corps, Major General Monty, Deputy Commander of the 1st Division, General Edmund, Deputy Commander, and Major General Mike, Commander of the 2nd Division , Major General Marcos, deputy division commander, etc., were all promoted to General of the French Army and Marquis of France. Xiao Jie's childhood playmates, Dioka and Luo Di, who are currently the directors of the General Armament Department and the General Logistics Department of Iberia, were also promoted to Generals of the French Army and Marquis of France. Karl, Kurt and Thomas, whom he met in the military academy, were all promoted to Generals of the French Army and Marquis of France. Other Army officers were promoted and commissioned, respectively.

After the army, it became the navy. Since the navy has not been in the army for a long time, not many generals have been promoted. The main thing is that the commander of the navy, Burt, was promoted to the French admiral and grand duke of France. Vice Admiral Vassell and Chief of Staff Sucrete were promoted to French Admiral, Marquis of France. Other generals were also promoted and canonized according to their military exploits. The last is the air force. Because the air force showed strong combat effectiveness in the later period of the war, it achieved very great results. Therefore, Major General Baldesius, commander of the Air Force, was also promoted to General of the French Air Force, Marquis of France. The Air Force has become the only one among the three military branches that has not had its generals promoted to marshals. However, with their strong combat effectiveness, I believe it will be very easy for them to get promoted in the days to come.

After this reward, the aristocratic system of the French Empire was initially established. However, there is a big difference between this award and those in the past, that is, this time no matter how high the title was canonized, no land was granted, and land is the root and symbol of nobility. But Xiao Jie obviously broke the rules this time, and did not divide the fiefdoms for these new nobles. As a modern person, Xiao Jie deeply understands that the state within a country caused by enfeoffment will greatly damage the interests of the country, so he asked Yuan to increase the salaries of the nobles, and he is not willing to divide them into fiefs~lightnovelpub.net~Of course, His actions made many people dissatisfied, but under the prestige accumulated by Xiao Jie for a long time, no one dared to object.

As for Louis and the others who found fault at the coronation ceremony, Xiao Jie also directly sent someone to deport them. After all, they were all his elders, and he would lock them up for a while, and it was impossible to really punish them.

On the second day of the coronation ceremony, that is, on January 21, a plenary meeting of the cabinet of the French Empire was held. Not only cabinet members from France, but also cabinet members from Iberia participated in the meeting, because this time there are very important The only thing to discuss was the formal appointment of cabinet and government members and the status of Iberia.

Iberia is composed of the former Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal. Since Xiao Jie occupied Iberia, he has carried out long-term construction work in Iberia, which has greatly improved the economic and military strength of Iberia. It also became the rear base for Xiao Jie to fight for hegemony. But now that Xiao Jie has ascended the throne as he wished, the relationship between Iberia has become a little delicate at this time. If it is still managed separately in this way, it will cause great inconvenience and waste of resources, but if Iberia is merged with France and becomes part of the French Empire, I believe that neither the Iberian government nor the military will agree. . For this reason, Xiao Jie was completely troubled. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in to .QDAN., more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
