Everyone in the grand hall was momentarily taken aback.
Ling Feng originally held no status in the Li Dynasty; now he is merely the Consort Prince to the Princess, which isn't particularly high in rank.
Yet Li Huang directly bestowed a dukedom upon him, acknowledging Ling Feng's merits and granting him a prestigious position, second only to one.
However, the Marshal title not only puzzled the ministers but also left Ling Feng somewhat bewildered.
According to Li Dynasty's customs, questioning such decisions in the assembly was improper and disrespectful to royal authority.
Therefore, Ling Feng could only thank them without making any inquiries.
The court officials then enthusiastically congratulated Ling Feng, envying his sudden acquisition of two highest honors in the Li Dynasty.
At this moment, Li Huang said, "The original Marshal of the troops was Li Gang, now replaced by Ling Feng, and I imagine everyone is quite puzzled by this, am I right?"
