Inside the Temple of Manna.

At this time, a ceremony was being held to reward the heroes of counterinsurgency.

Li Er's face was happy, he sat on the dragon chair, and the hundred officials below stood in order according to their grades, as for some generals who were not of enough grades, as well as Li Yu, Meng Wenhao, and Tie Dan, these civilians were all waiting for summons in the side hall!

After the monarch and ministers saluted, Li Er looked at the ministers in the palace and said loudly:

Half a month ago, Cui Junxuan plotted to rebel, intending to secretly capture Luoyang and fight against the imperial court, but fortunately, Li Yu, a reporter from the editorial department of Datang Daily, and Ye Fashan of Nanyang Ye's family, discovered the Cui family's conspiracy and sent the news back to Chang'an through the telegraph.

After that, Li Aiqing led an army of 60,000 to attack Luoyang, Duan Zhixuan was outside Guancheng County, fighting Cui and Zheng reinforcements, and then, Li Aiqing and Liu Renliang in the city should join forces with each other, without spending a single soldier, easily attacking the city, which is the luck of the imperial court and the people of Zhengzhou!

As the so-called meritorious service should be rewarded, and the front-line soldiers should be rewarded for their meritorious counterinsurgency; Cui Junxuan, Zheng Shuwu, and Cui Wenlin committed rebellion, bewitched the people, and rebelled, so they should naturally be punished!

Li Jing, the head of the Henan Road march, led the army to quell the rebellion, commanded and dispatched properly, and completely wiped out the rebels in just half a month, relieved the great trouble of the imperial court, and specially named Li Jing as the doctor of Zuo Guanglu, gave thousands of silk horses, and sealed 400 households! ”

Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty Hongen!" It's just that how can the old minister be so rewarded? I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life! ”

In the final analysis, Li Jing still felt that the elimination of the Cui family this time was still too unchallenging for the imperial army with telegraphs, and he felt that the victory of the imperial army was taken for granted, on the contrary, if it was defeated, it would be called abnormal!

Generally speaking, it is Li Jing who dislikes the difficulty of this "copy" is too low, even if he wins, Li Er does not need to reward her, these are what he should do!

It's not that the enemy army is too weak, but that our army, equipped with telegraph machines, is too strong!

Li Er smiled slightly and said: "The army has quelled the rebels, Li Aiqing, as the commander of the three armies, why shouldn't you be rewarded?" If I don't reward you, won't the people of the world say that I am stingy? ”

When Li Jing heard this, he had no choice but to arch his hand and say: "Old minister, thank Your Majesty for your reward!" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Er nodded, and said: "Qin Qiong, the deputy commander of the marching army, Cheng Zhijie, the commander of the army on the right, and Niu Jinda, the commander of the army on the left, led the army to kill the enemy and kill the enemy's generals. ”

Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Niu Jinda stepped forward one after another and said, "Old minister, thank Your Majesty for your reward!" ”

Li Zexuan, who was standing at the bottom, couldn't help but be secretly happy for these three veterans.

Wei Chi Jingde was a little surprised, this time Lao Li sent a large army to the battle, but he did not let him take command, so he could only wait for the news from the front line in Chang'an, but he was in a hurry!

However, although it is a little delicious, he will not be jealous of Qin Qiong and others, who have been friends for more than ten years, how can he be blushing because of this small reward?

Next is about the local assassins and adjutants who have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion, and their rewards.

For example, Wang Yu, the assassin of Suizhou, Zhao Kai, the assassin of Bianzhou, Ren Can, the pacification ambassador of Henan Province, and so on.

Lao Li's rewards are generally false positions or honors, plus some money and rewards, and few are directly promoted to the official rank, obviously Li Er also knows that judging from the lineup of this counterinsurgency army, as long as he is not a stupid general, he can win!

The reward meeting lasted for two quarters of an hour before Li Zexuan finally said what Li Zexuan cared about.

"Yong'an Hou Li Zexuan, although he did not participate in the war this time, but the telegraph machine he manufactured, as well as the Li Yu of the editorial department of the "Datang Daily", played a vital role in this battle, if there was no telegraph, if there was no Li Yu, the imperial court could not rush to Zhengzhou's aid in time, let alone cooperate with the new army in the city, although he was not on the battlefield, but he contributed great strength to this counterinsurgency! Li Zexuan was specially appointed as the crown prince, and he donated 1,000 horses to reward him with the right to mine three ore veins! ”

Li Er, who was on the dragon chair, said slowly.

Generous reward, this is called generous reward!

It's not that Li Zexuan got more rewards than Li Jing and others, but that Li Jing and others got the rewards from going to the battlefield to fight, but Li Zexuan didn't go to the battlefield at all, but in the end he was able to get a good reward, which really made others a little envious, jealous and hateful!

Li Zexuan was overjoyed in his heart, he was originally waiting for Li Er to reward his students and Li Yu, but he didn't expect to bring Li Er to give him such a show in the end, which was really unexpected by him!

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor~!"

Li Zexuan stepped forward and said respectfully.

From the original third-grade false prince Zhan Shi to the second-grade prince Shaobao, this Li Zexuan doesn't care much, but the latter reward for the right to mine three ore veins scratches Li Zexuan's itch, he is not short of power, not short of money, only lack of mines!

Lao Li gave him the right to mine three ore veins at once, which is not a big deal, although Lao Li didn't say what kind of mine it is, but in the ancient times of the salt and iron franchise, it was already very good to have a private mine!

"Hmmm! Don't be complacent, you kid, I have high hopes for your Yanhuang Academy, and you have to make persistent efforts in the future to make a better artifact for the benefit of the world! ”

Li Er looked at Li Zexuan and said meaningfully.

Li Zexuan understood that Lao Li was urging him to improve the telegraph quickly, so he bowed down and responded: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Er nodded and commanded:

"It is rumored that Liu Renliang entered the palace to join the army in Bianzhou~!"

Since Liu Renliang was only a seventh-rank member of the army, he was not qualified to be ranked in the court, so now he is just waiting for the summons in the side hall.

"It is rumored that Liu Renliang entered the palace to join the army in Bianzhou~!"

Naturally, there was an inner attendant who passed Li Er's words out.

After a while, Liu Renliang walked in excitedly.

Thinking that he was just a small local army, he never thought that one day he would be able to enter this palace that symbolizes the supreme strength of the world, when he was in the side hall, he had already said to himself hundreds of times in his heart, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous", at this time walking on the smooth stone bricks of the Taiji Palace, Liu Renliang's previously restless heart suddenly calmed down.

"The last general, Bianzhou, joined the army, Liu Renliang, see Your Majesty!"

Walking to the middle of the hundred officials, Liu Renliang bowed and saluted.

The voice is full of energy, neither humble nor arrogant!

Liu Renliang's appearance is not bad, but he is quite handsome, at this moment he is not in a hurry, not humble or arrogant, Li Er couldn't help but nod secretly, and said:

"Liu Aiqing, this time you put down the rebellion in Guancheng, you first rescued Wei Zheng in the chaos of the army, and then assisted Li Yu, and sent the news of the Cui family's rebellion back to Chang'an by telegraph in Songyue Temple, and finally you went deep into the enemy camp, united with recruits to open the city gate from the city, let the army outside the city enter the city, and saved hundreds of thousands of people in Guancheng County from danger, which can be described as a great contribution. I have decided to promote you to the right general of the right military guard, add the title of General Ning Yuan, give you 100 silk horses, and 100,000 money! ”

Break a rule to promote!

In the hearts of the ministers in the palace, these four words all popped up at this moment!

From a small seven-rank in the local Zhichong Mansion to join the army, he was promoted to the right military guard camp in the capital as a fourth-grade right general, this kind of treatment can only be described as an exceptional promotion!

Liu Renliang was a little dazed at the moment, after all, although he knew that he had made a contribution in this battle of Guancheng, but he didn't expect Li Er to reward him so much, this feeling was like pie in the sky!

“.... Minister, Liu Renliang thanks Your Majesty Hongen! In the future, the ministers will do their best for my Datang, and then die! ”

Liu Renliang bowed deeply and thanked him.

Li Er nodded, and said, "Pass on Han Li, Meng Wenhao, and Li Yu to the palace~!" ”

Liu Renliang knew that Li Er would continue to reward others, so he wanted to retreat to the end of the hundred officials and find a place to stand, who knows, a young official beside him coughed lightly, looked at him, and pointed to the position next to him, signaling him to stand there.

When Liu Renliang saw the appearance of that person, he was immediately startled, wasn't this the person who was outside the hall before, and Xiao Yu'er called "sir"?

He clearly remembered that Li Yu told him when he was in Zhengzhou that her husband was Li Zexuan, the Marquis of Yong'an!

Liu Renliang knew that his grade was not enough, how could he dare to stand with Li Zexuan? Isn't that a bad rule? So, he hugged his fist at Li Zexuan apologetically, and then slipped to the last row of the general's camp!

At this moment, Tie Dan, Meng Wenhao, and Li Yu also walked into the main hall, and after the three of them saluted Li Er, Li Er was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Yu's face, and couldn't help but be a little stunned!

A trace of confusion and memory flashed in his eyes.

Just looked at Li Yu quietly, seeing that Li Yu was a little uncomfortable, the ministers in the hall didn't hear Li Er speak for a long time, and many people couldn't help but quietly raise their heads and look at Li Er.

"Ahem!"

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want his brother-in-law to be too out of shape, so he "coughed" twice heavily.

Li Er finally woke up from his contemplation, he straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Wenhao, Li Yu, this time Zhengzhou counterinsurgency, the two of you used the telegraph to exchange news, and transmitted a lot of vital information for the imperial court and the front-line army, and the credit is very great, Meng Wenhao is specially given as Wen Linlang, Li Yu is the gold medal reporter of "Datang Daily", and he has the right to hear about it, if you encounter injustices among the people, you can report to me directly!" ”

Wen Linlang is a Jiupin Wensan official, although the control is small, but the significance is significant, which means that although Meng Wenhao has not yet taken the imperial examination, he already has the official body of the imperial gift, this starting point is not ordinary!

And the reward given to Li Yu is even more powerful, the right to hear about things, this is a privilege unique to the imperial history of the imperial court! Now he has given a female baby, which makes the ministers in the palace stunned!

"Boy Meng Wenhao (little girl Li Yu), thank you for your kindness!"

Meng Wenhao and Li Yu thanked him.

At this time, Li Er continued to speak, "Where is Han Li~?" ”
