The next morning, Li Shimin stood on the dragon chair in the Taiji Hall, looking proudly at the ministers of civil and military affairs who were separated from the left and right sides with their hands down.

"Yesterday I received a report from General Chen Ling that the Western Turkic merchant group would be able to reach Chang'an the day after tomorrow, and I intend to draw a group of elite forces from the Panmen army and the Jin Wuwei to secretly protect the safety of the merchant group under the leadership of the King of Han. I don't know what you think? ”

When the civil and military officials heard what the emperor said, they turned their heads back and forth, and the originally quiet court suddenly became lively.

Li Shimin stared at Ling Ran for a moment, and when he saw that all the ministers had nervous expressions, he said:

"Fang Xiang, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling walked out of the train, bent down and bowed, "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." It's just that there is one thing that needs to be resolved urgently, and if it is resolved properly, this matter can be relieved. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"General Xu died suddenly the day before yesterday, and the murderer has not been found so far. If we continue to let them go unpunished, we fear that we will cause more trouble. Therefore, we beg the emperor to send someone to settle the matter first. ”

When the other ministers of civil and military affairs heard Fang Xuanling's words, they also echoed and said: "I implore the emperor to send someone to arrest the murderer first, so that the turmoil can be calmed down." ”

When Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin saw this scene, they suddenly felt angry and funny in their hearts. This room full of people can't do anything but wagging their tails and begging for pity. In the end, it is not up to you to save the common people by yourself.

"Ha, so you're depressed about this." Li Shimin smiled dumbly, "Don't worry, this matter has already been resolved." ”

"Oh?"

When the courtiers heard this, they immediately looked at each other, originally according to common sense, they had to wait for the ministers to advise before the emperor could send someone to act. But I didn't want to, this time I would go to the front, which is really a little confusing.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said to Wei Chi Baolin: "General Wei Chi, tell everyone, what kind of process was it at that time?" ”

When Yu Chi Baolin heard this, he knew that the emperor was deliberately giving himself a chance to show his head, so he coughed, clenched his hands into fists, and said in a deliberate tone:

"If you talk about this matter, it has to be that our immortal mana is boundless. Of course, I and the county lord of Zhifeng can also be regarded as both wise and brave. ”

After that, under his colorful narration, the story of Shan Zhuokun's wisdom and fighting sharks to eliminate harm to the Tang Dynasty was displayed in people's minds.

Not only that, seeing the stunned looks of the courtiers one by one, the more he talked, the more refreshing he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but dance.

Although he began to fight on the battlefield with his father when he was young, he became a famous military general. But in the imperial court according to seniority, he has always been excluded and has never gained a real right to speak. Therefore, being able to show his face this time can definitely be regarded as an extremely rare opportunity.

The courtiers were shocked in their hearts, originally thinking that Shan Zhuokun was just a person who was not smart and did not play cards according to the regular rules in everything, but they didn't expect him to have such a means.

"Congratulations to the emperor, Lord Shan is really a blessing sent by God."

As soon as Yu Chi Baolin's words fell, the courtiers rushed to congratulate the emperor.

In the crowd, Wei Zheng was the only one standing still, his expression extremely proud. In his opinion, Shan Zhuokun is just a chicken in a chicken nest, not even a bird, how can he be called an eagle?

In that case, there is no need to give any good face at all.

Li Shimin was also very pleased to see the courtier's behavior like this, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you might as well talk about how to reward Master Shan." ”

"Your Majesty, although Lord Shan is now the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor, his official position is not high." Li Yuanchang saw that the heat was almost over, so he came forward to ask for a performance, "The minister thinks that the emperor might as well promote him from a third-rank official to a first-rank official to show his appreciation." As for General Wei Chi, he can also be promoted to the rank of General Longyao. As for the county lord of Zhifeng, as a member of the royal family, she should have shared the worries of the monarch. According to the minister, the emperor might as well reward her with some precious things from the Hu people and the Western Regions, she will definitely be happy. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, is it? This Zhifeng County Lord is really easy to satisfy. Since the king of Han said so, then the matter should be decided in this way. Gonggong Guo, if I pass on my will, it will be determined according to what the King of Han said. ”

"Yes."

Guo Bin bowed down and answered, he was just about to leave, but suddenly saw Wei Zheng walk out of the train, and said:

"Wait."

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a hesitant look on his face. Although he has long been accustomed to Wei Zheng's practice of blocking everything, according to the Tang Dynasty's method of reward and punishment, now that Shan Zhuokun and Wei Chi Baolin have done such a big thing, even if it is a reward, it is understandable.

"Lord Wei, what do you mean by this?"

In the crowd, Chi Gong, the Duke of Eguo, saw Wei Zheng's behavior, and was afraid that due to his secret obstruction, he would regenerate the right and wrong of the side.

Then he said:

"Since the emperor has spoken, why do you want to push back?"

Wei Zheng glared at Wei Chigong coldly, and then said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister has some heartfelt words, and he must say it. ”

"Wei Xiang, today is the day when I will reward Lord Shan, General Wei Chi and Lord Zhifeng, and your heartfelt words will be left for later." Li Shimin reprimanded.

Wei Zheng is really this guy, even if he doesn't speak, no one treats him as a dumb person, why do you have to do it against yourself?

Li Shimin originally thought that Wei Zheng would accept it when he met him, but who knew that the other party couldn't perceive his thoughts at all, and still said stubbornly:

"Your Majesty, even if you think that the minister has lost his interest and won't let me say it, the minister still has to say it. Although Master Shan and General Wei Chi have made meritorious contributions now, they are still young and young after all, and their qualifications are still shallow, even if they are rewarded, they should not be too grand. Otherwise, even if the ministers agree with each other, they will inevitably be dissatisfied in their hearts. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. What does Wei Zheng mean by this, could it be that he was blackmailed in public. If you give him a good face again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to convince the public in the future.

"Now that I've decided on this matter, let's do so." Li Shimin stood up and said with a straight face, "Others don't have to talk too much here, Guo Bin, you quickly go to draft a decree and announce it to the world." ”

After saying that, he glared at Wei Zheng coldly again, signaling him not to keep quiet, not to be so noisy in front of him again, so as not to be upset.

Although Wei Zheng still disagreed with this decision in his heart, seeing that the emperor had made up his mind at this moment, he could only retreat to the train stupidly, frowning, and secretly sulking.

Shan Zhuokun, Yu Chi Baolin, Li Yuanchang and Wei Chigong became famous because of this time, and they were all smiling.
