Chapter 258: Special Honor

The following decree began with praise for the Ruo Family's generations of loyalty and integrity. It also acquitted the Ruo Family patriarch of past mistakes, posthumously conferring on him the title of Earl Yinyong, and bestowing upon Granny Lei the title of First-Rank Imperial Command.

Next, it recounted the achievements of Ruo Hai, who single-handedly led a thousand soldiers to burn the enemy's grain stores and assassinated two of the enemy generals, forcing the enemy to retreat to Nanyu Island. Then, braving hurricanes and towering waves, he proceeded to Nanyu Island, killed thousands of enemies single-handedly, captured the pretender to the throne, successfully eradicated the remnants of the previous dynasty, and recovered Nanyu Island along with a substantial imperial treasury and a million bushels of grain.
