Chapter 53: Awarded the title of county lord

"Your Majesty, this is the brocade box you hid earlier."

Yu Chi Baolin came to Li Shimin, fell to the ground on one knee, raised the brocade box above his head with both hands, and replied respectfully.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take the brocade box, only to see a thin layer of water stained on it: "Yu Chi Aiqing is a good martial artist, you have worked hard, go down and rest." ”

Yu Chi Baolin stood up, clenched his fists, and then came to the same place and stood still.

Shan Zhuokun looked at him with a smile, stretched out the thumb of his right hand, and made a gesture of approval.

"Immortal, can you reveal this mystery for us? Where did the emperor hide this brocade box? Wei Chigong couldn't help but be curious, and asked bluntly.

Hearing him say this, other civil and military officials also echoed him, hoping that Shan Zhuokun could say the answer.

"Your Majesty, can I say it?" Shan Zhuokun looked at Li Shimin with a smile, he saw that the other party bowed his head slightly, and immediately pretended to have an unfathomable expression, and turned his head to look at everyone present, "My lords, the place where the emperor just hid things is very secret. That place can't go up to the sky, it can't go down to the ground, there's only a layer of air in the middle, guess what kind of place it is? ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all frowned suspiciously, and whispered the riddle just now.

Yes, although every part of this palace is very strong, it is really rare to see a place where it does not reach the sky, does not touch the ground, and there is only a layer of qi in the middle. After a long time of whispering and discussion, people still couldn't think of the right answer.

"Shangxian, don't play dumb riddles with us anymore." Wei Chigong shouted in a loud voice, "Hurry up and tell the answer to the riddle." ”

Shan Zhuokun was still unhurried, and said to Yu Chi Baolin with a smile: "General Wei Chi, since everyone can't guess the answer, it's better for you to announce it." ”

Yu Chi Baolin grinned, and the picture of looking for the brocade box just appeared in his mind again. Not to mention that others can't guess this answer, even if they have spent a lot of effort.

"The place where this brocade box is hidden is in the Imperial Garden." When Wei Chi Baolin said this, he glanced at the emperor and saw that he looked light and breezy, so he continued, "The emperor asked the soldiers to hide the brocade box in the river against the rockery, and it was all green algae. When the night breeze blows, the mist disperses, and naturally it becomes a thin layer of water vapor. Therefore, the upper immortals said that they could not reach the sky or the earth, and there was only a layer of qi in the middle. ”

"Oh." When everyone heard this, they showed a convincing look at the same time.

"How did the immortal know where this brocade box was?" Fang Xuanling said suspiciously.

As the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is naturally a person with a story. Over the years, I have seen a lot of strange people and strange things, but no one has ever had such a clever way of guessing things.

"This ....." Shan Zhuokun shrugged his shoulders and made a posture without comment, "This is the Tao." ”

The meaning of his words couldn't be clearer, since my brother is so virtuous, should you be afraid of it in the future? At least don't use me like a vase anymore, right?

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was spoken, it immediately got the fastest feedback.

The ministers of civil and military affairs played one after another, and Bao promoted Shan Zhuokun to be the secretary of the imperial superintendent, and the scene was so hot that it was the same as the opening of the supermarket.

Seeing this, Wei Chigong looked at Wei Zheng on the side, and said with a smile:

"Wei Xiang, what's the matter, this time it's not just my father's guarantee. Since all of you have this good intention, ...... the matter of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor? ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that this Wei Chi Gong usually looked very aggressive, but his mind was the size of a needle's nose, which was really annoying to the extreme.

Thinking of this, he glared at the other party fiercely, and then lowered his head and said no more.

However, it is just a small detail, but it has not escaped the eyes of the emperor who has always been discerning.

For an emperor, if he wants to stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China, the most important thing is not to expand the territory of the east and the west, but to use the art of checks and balances. Only by placing the most powerful civil and military generals under his command in the most reasonable position, so that they can become the sword in the hands of the king to slash at his companions while only the king's life, this is the most interesting thing.

There is no doubt that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Wei Chigong are the four black and white chess pieces in Li Shimin's hands.

The four of them can not only cooperate with each other, but also compete with each other, if used properly, it will definitely bring the Tang Dynasty to the eternal stability and solve the king's worries.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said happily: "Since all the ministers have the intention of sponsoring Shan Shangxian to serve as the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor, then I will also fulfill everyone's wishes, so this matter will be decided." Shan Shangxian, you will go to the Imperial Heavenly Prison tomorrow to report. ”

When Wei Chigong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and urged Shan Zhuokun repeatedly: "Shangxian, don't hurry up and thank you." ”

Shan Zhuokun saw that everyone was looking at him, so he clenched his fists with both hands and fell to the ground. learned the lines in those film and television dramas I watched before, and said a little funny:

"Thank you to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Li Shimin bowed slightly, and then moved his gaze to Li Zhifeng, who was standing beside Li Yuanchang and looking at Shan Zhuokun with a smile.

"There is one more thing that I want to explain to all Aiqing."

When the civil and military officials saw that the emperor suddenly showed such a solemn expression, they all fell silent, and the huge courtyard instantly became silent.

"The Duke of Eguo and his family went on this trip to northern Xinjiang, and in addition to meeting the help of the immortals, they also found their half-sister who had been separated for many years. It was also God's mercy that finally led to the reunion of my family. When Li Shimin said this, he was quite emotional. He paused for a moment, and then called out in a voice full of tenderness, "Zhifeng, come to my side." ”

When Li Zhifeng heard the emperor call him, he suddenly felt nervous in his heart, and his eyes instantly moved to his brother Li Yuanchang on the side, and saw him nodding to himself with a smile. He took a deep breath, slowly walked to the center of the courtyard paved with red felt, and slowly walked towards Li Shimin.

At this time, she is different from the usual, and she is no longer the handsome man's clothes. Instead, there was a lilac bandeau skirt, and under the careful combing of the palace maid, the black hair was erected high, becoming a beautiful cloud, and the whole body and gestures were with the unique elegance and tranquility of the palace daughter.

"The people's daughter Li Zhifeng asked the emperor for peace." After a while, after coming to Li Shimin's face, Li Zhifeng bowed down slowly and said Wanfu, and said gently, "Long live my emperor." ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, walked quickly in front of her, and stretched out his hands to help her up.

"Lord Zhifeng doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my imperial sister Li Zhifeng, who has been awarded the position of county lord from today onwards and has been naturalized. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, it attracted a lot of discussion from the ministers, and the palace suddenly turned into boiling water, bubbling outward.
