Under Lu Sheng's indication, the Emperor decreed to announce the great victory in Gaozhou to the entire nation.
This move seemed to be promoting Chen Mo's achievements to the world, but Lu Sheng had his own intentions as well.
In this decree, Lu Sheng emphasized that Chen Mo acted according to the Court's orders to dispatch troops against Jin Xia.
While this may appear as an attempt to glorify the Court, indirectly, the Court could use this to boost its presence and prestige.
At least in the eyes of the uninformed populace, it seemed that Chen Mo was following the Court's command.
Secondly, with the new Emperor ascending the throne, there had been much talk in the nation. Leveraging the great victory in Gaozhou, it could be shown to the world that the Yong'an era name was auspicious, and it was under the new Emperor's blessing that Chen Mo could win this battle.
In short, his promotion of Chen Mo was also aimed at enhancing the Court's influence.
