The big teaching field in the capital city is opened, the flags are displayed, and the drum music is noisy.

The soldiers of the four guards of Yulin lined up in a neat line, holding their breath one by one, holding their heads high, waiting for the angel to convey the court's reward.

Zhang Yongde held Huang Cancan's edict in his hand, slowly walked up to the platform, facing south and north, standing in the center, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict!" ”

Li Zhongyi solemnly clenched his fists, and the generals who followed him knelt on one knee and listened to the holy oracle.

The respect of the prime minister, the courtesy!

As one of the eight ministers of Tuogu, Li Zhongyi is qualified to stand and listen to the edict, and this so-called way of the imperial court to meet important ministers is also!

"Under the door: the country uses Bangjie to arrest Xi Zheng. If you go out, you will be a vassal, and if you enter, you will talk calmly. Tui Zhong conspired with the meritorious heroes, Haidong disposed of the ambassador, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, Lu Longjie envoy, Shangshu right servant shot, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Chonghui Lingguan envoy, Hanlin bachelor Chengzhi, Shangzhu State, Yan Guogong, 35,000 households in Shiyi, 10,000 households in Shishi Feng Li Zhongyi, Tongyin Yide, into the praise of the two dynasties, repeatedly broke the Beiyu, Erping Haidong...... But: Specially awarded the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu, the Pingzhangshi of the Tongzhongshu Men, the envoy of the Linggong Palace, the scholar of Jixian Palace, the Duke of Chu, 20,000 households with food, and 5,000 households with food, and 5,000 households with food. The Lord does it. ”

"Edict." Li Zhongyi shook his head to the ground and respectfully accepted the edict handed over by Zhang Yongde himself.

"Boom!" Zhang Yongde's uncontrollable complexion changed greatly, and a chill was rising from the bottom of his heart, Li Zhongyi actually accepted the edict, he actually accepted the edict, and he accepted the edict like this?

Before Zhang Yongde announced the edict, he had been wondering whether Li Zhongyi would take advantage of the privileges possessed by the prime minister to resign from the title this time. But he didn't think about it, Li Zhongyi didn't shirk it at all, and accepted the court's reward smoothly.

There are eight phases in the imperial court, all of which are in the same book as a regular minister, and all the ministers have the same position as usual. According to the convention, the ministers have different positions in the library, and their status is also high.

As long as he has the title of Jixiandian University Scholar, he is worthy of the name of the second minister of the political affairs hall, commonly known as Jixian Xiang, and his status is second only to the prime minister Fan who has the title of Shobunkan University Scholar.

Previously, in order to highlight the prime minister's status, the imperial court deliberately suspended the scholars of Jixian Hall in the air, and did not award any political ministers.

Today, Li Zhongyi not only holds the military power of the four guards of Yulin, but also gathers the virtuous ministers, which can be described as monstrous.

The generals kneeling behind Li Zhongyi, although they all knew a lot of words and could understand the official documents in the army, were mostly stunned by the edict of the imperial court.

Liu Heyang is different, he has lived in Kaifeng for a long time, and he is a general of the forbidden army, and he is a person who has seen the world. Before following Li Zhongyi, Liu Heyang also received several edicts from the imperial court, and more or less knew some of the rules and taboos of the imperial court.

Unlike the jubilant generals, the behind-the-scenes subtext that Liu Heyang tasted through the edict was really chilling.

Because Shi Jingjiao, the dog of the Shatuo tribe, recognized Beiyu as his father and took the initiative to sacrifice the sixteen states of Yanyun, and that land has been in the hands of the Khitans since then. This led to a strange situation, Li Zhongyi's previous envoy to the Lu Long Festival was actually just an empty title of a remote leader.

However, the Pinglu Jiedu envoys were very different. The Tang Dynasty's Pinglu Jiedu envoy was stationed in Yingzhou, with the purpose of dividing Fanyang Jiedu envoy's too large power. In the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy moved south, except for the later Jin Dynasty, which briefly abolished the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, its jurisdiction has been very stable, including: Qing, Zi, Lai, Qi, Deng.

Compared with Liu Heyang, the Kaifeng Tong, most of the middle and senior generals in the Li family's army can only be regarded as uninformed buns. Others may not know the twists and turns, but Liu Heyang's heart is clear.

Li Chongjin, the nephew of Guo Wei, the Taizu of this dynasty, was named the envoy of Huainan Festival because of his military exploits in the Battle of Gaoping, and the scope of his jurisdiction was only four states.

As for the ambitious Li Yun in the north, there is only the land of Sanzhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that after Li Zhongyi took over the important task of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, he has become a veritable first feudal town of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

More importantly, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy area is the land of Shandong, from Qizhou to the south of the capital division, only a few hundred miles away, the threat to the imperial court can not be overemphasized, it can be described as an elbow trouble.

However, the imperial court gave Li Zhongyi such a sensitive envoy of the Pinglu Festival, which had never been awarded to anyone since the founding of the dynasty. It can be seen that the imperial court's fear of Li Zhongyi has become superficial.

Not only that, the title of Duke of Chu given by the imperial court actually has a deep meaning, and the temptation of Li Zhongyi is almost clear, and Liu Heyang can't help but be extremely frightened after thinking about it.

Zhang Yongde has been staring at Li Zhongyi intently, seeing Li Zhongyi's calm demeanor, as if he was strolling leisurely, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, Li Wuyi, whose wings are already extremely full, is really a smart person!

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if the imperial court sincerely rewards meritorious officials, it cannot change the fact that Li Zhongyi has already made great achievements, and the tail is not lost!

Even if Li Zhongyi continues to choose Tao Hui, it will be difficult to escape the crisis of the imperial court devoting all its efforts to reduce the feudal domain, so it is better to accept the reward of the imperial court and confirm the status of the first feudal town.

Before coming to announce the edict, Fan Zhen asked Zhang Yongde to secretly teach the opportunity and analyzed the possible situation in detail, but he didn't expect that Li Zhongyi actually didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, and he obeyed the edict confidently.

Zhang Yongde brought a number of edicts, and everyone under Li Zhongyi's heavy generals had a share, and the four guards of Yulin, which originally belonged to Li Zhongyi's sole control, were also separated.

In addition to Song Yunxiang, the rest of the generals, such as Yang Lie, Liu Heyang, Liao Shanhe, and Ma Guangda, were all commanded by the four guards on the left and right sides of Yulin.

What is particularly noteworthy is that Yang Lie, Li Zhongyi's most trusted protégé, was only appointed as the commander of the Yulin Right Guard, while Liu Heyang, who was originally born in the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, served as the commander of the Yulin Upper Guard, who had the highest status.

Not only that, while the imperial court rewarded the founding marquis, it specially crowned Liu Heyang as the founding county prince.

Clear-eyed people know at a glance that the heart of sowing discord is obvious.

Ma Guangda was also born in the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, but before he followed Li Zhongyi, he was never as good as Liu Heyang.

Liu Heyang was promoted to the founding county prince, Ma Guangda was very unhappy, but because Li Zhongyi and Zhang Yongde were present, it was inconvenient for him to sneer.

If it is said that among the important generals present, who has not reaped the benefits the most today is none other than Song Yunxiang. He, the commander of the Fifth Army, was appointed by Li Zhongyi when he reorganized the Li family's army, and his official position and title in the imperial court were much lower than those of the above-mentioned four generals Yang, Liu, Ma, and Liao, so he only got an earl.

Song Yunxiang silently glanced at the beaming Liu Heyang, not only did he not have any sense of loss in his heart, but he was very satisfied with the arrangement of the imperial court.

Song Yunxiang, who was originally a minor official in Lingzhou, knew better than anyone else that the official position or title rewarded by the imperial court was a vain thing, and his position in the mind of the lord Li Zhongyi was the most important great future!
