"There is Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, who is self-denying and loyal。。。。。 Jing Xuan can visit the school Situ, accept the service, and seal the Duke of Liang! ”

"Minister Chen Jingxuan is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Chen Jingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to take the edict and said respectfully, the smile on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

Can Chen Jingxuan be unhappy? Although this servant is only an honorary prime minister, not the actual prime minister, he is also the prime minister, and at the same time, he is also the inspector Situ, and his status is higher than that of the actual prime minister. In addition, Chen Jingxuan was also named the Duke of Liang, plus Tian Lingzi's Duke of Jin, which is equivalent to a two dukes.

If this can't make Chen Jingxuan happy, how can there be anything to be happy about?

Li Ye didn't expect that this court would actually read such an edict, and looking at Zheng Yi and others who were surprised, it was obvious that Li Yi had not consulted with a few prime ministers beforehand, and the ministers were obviously confused, and Chen Jingxuan and Tian Lingzi were not very surprised.

As for why Li Yi suddenly conferred the honorary post of prime minister on Chen Jingxuan and crowned Liang Guogong, it is also very simple, because Gao Renhou quelled the rebellion of Han Xiusheng and Qu Xingcong, and restored the supply channel of the eastern front in Xichuan. I don't know how Tian Lingzi did his work, so Li Yi suddenly felt happy, and read out this edict without consulting the ministers.

Once the edict is issued, can it be reversed? Apparently not.

However, Li Yi's approach made several prime ministers very dissatisfied, and after Chen Jingxuan received the order to thank him, Zheng Yi strode out and made a courtesy to Li Yi, with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and it should be rewarded, and it can be awarded to Liang Guogong, but the minister thinks that the honorary prime minister should not be higher than the actual prime minister, otherwise will the ministers and other people be subject to Lord Chen's moderation in the future?"

The minister seconded. Your Majesty, even if Lord Chen has meritorious, he can be awarded the position of the Duke of the Kingdom, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. Xiao Yu on the side also stood up and said.

Everyone knows that Chen Jingxuan was able to quell this rebellion, relying on Gao Renhou, not himself. Although Chen Jingxuan was a festival envoy, he did not directly participate in the counterinsurgency, in fact, he was awarded the post of the other party's national duke, and there were many opposing voices present. Just put down a small rebellion, and grant it to the prince, if you make some more merits, wouldn't you have to be crowned king?

Li Yi's face was a little displeased, and he said with a straight face, "Chen Aiqing put down the rebellion, shouldn't he be rewarded?" What I said is Chrysostom, do you want me to be a man of his word and untrustworthy? ”

"Don't dare!" Zheng Yi hurriedly said, I didn't expect Li Yi to refute it like this, what could he do?

"If you don't dare, it's settled. If you can make great achievements, I will not hesitate to reward them. Li Yi shook his hand, slightly dissatisfied.

Seeing that Zheng Jin and the others were deflated, Chen Jingxuan showed a smug smile on his face, thinking of the Nanzhao mission asking for his own affairs, he had a plan, so he suggested, "Your Majesty, although the rebellion is initially decided, the land of Xichuan is in ruins, and it is not suitable to fight in a short time. The Nanzhao delegation and his entourage have been in Chengdu for more than a month, but our dynasty still has not made a decision on the matter of peace and kinship, and if it drags on, it will not damage the majesty of our dynasty. ”

"Chen Aiqing, what do you mean?" Li Yi looked at Chen Jingxuan and frowned slightly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the matter of peace was originally proposed by our court, and as a state of etiquette, since we have already said it, we should not go back, wouldn't this damage the majesty of the court and Your Majesty?

Moreover, Nanzhao is close to Xichuan, and has invaded several times before. Although they were defeated by the imperial court several times, the Nanzhao people did not die. If the imperial court refuses to make peace, and then the Nanzhao delegation adds fuel and vinegar, won't it annoy Nanzhao, and then the border will be unstable.

Now that the Huangchao Rebellion is undecided, if there is a war in the southwestern border, the imperial court will inevitably be unable to quell the rebellion with all its might, and it may even be attacked by the Nanzhao army into Xichuan. Chen Jingxuan is serious.

"Lord Chen, as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, can't he take on the responsibility of defending the land?" Zheng Ji scoffed.

"Zheng Jin, you 。。。。。" was squeezed by Zheng Jin, Chen Jingxuan was a little short of words, and he didn't know how to refute for a while, but Tian Lingzi on the side stood up and said, "Lord Zheng is too stingy, could it be that because of what happened just now, Lord Zheng deliberately targeted Liang Guogong?" Liang Guogong's move is also for the sake of His Majesty's safety, if Nanzhao invades on a large scale, even if we can defeat the invading enemy, it will be ruined.

Now that the situation has finally stabilized, it is all the more important to maintain this situation. And the matter of harmony was indeed proposed by the imperial court first, and it was delayed for some reason before, so what's wrong with continuing now? This dynasty is not without a precedent for a princess to marry outside, if marrying a princess can return decades of peace between the two countries, why not?

Doesn't Lord Zheng want to see such a situation happen? ”

"Nanzhao is a small country, how can you marry a princess." Xiao Yu immediately retorted, "Nanzhao is now greatly injured, and he has no strength to fight with the imperial court at all. Your Majesty must not agree to make peace, this will fuel Nanzhao's ambitions. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, as long as you give the minister a few years, the minister can ensure that Xichuan is worry-free, and when the time comes, there will be a minister in Chengdu to deter Nanzhao, and Nanzhao will not dare to attack. What the ministers lack now is time, the previous two rebellions, resulting in a great loss of Xichuan's vitality, at this time it is better not to fight with Nanzhao. Chen Jingxuan hurriedly said.

He received a lot of rare treasures from Yang Qiqiu, as well as beauties, and received so many things, it was naturally impossible not to express it. And he really doesn't want to have trouble with Nanzhao, if he really wants to fight, it will be his troops that will be lost.

Li Yi thought about it, now that Chang'an has not been recovered, if there is a fight, won't Chengdu also be affected? Thinking of this, he was a little moved, he didn't have much affection for the sister of the eldest princess of Anhua, it can be said that he was not impressed, and it didn't matter where he married.

However, seeing that Li Ye has not spoken below, this is very different from before, although the attitude towards this imperial brother is a little subtle, but the other party is also giving him money every year, just think about it and don't do too much. It just so happens that after Princess Anhua's marriage is decided, Li Ye should also get married, and when the time comes, he can transfer the other party away from his side, so as to reduce the trouble, so as not to let Tian Lingzi keep chattering in his ear.

"King Shou, why don't you speak? I remember that you were against peacemaking, why don't you say a word now? Li Yi said with a smile.

Li Ye seemed to have just recovered from his contemplation, and was stunned for a while before he said, "Brother Huang, for his relatives, the younger brother obeys the will of Brother Huang. ”

Li Ye's answer obviously surprised many people, especially Zheng Jin, Xiao Yu and others, they all knew that Li Ye was a firm and pro-oppositionist, and it was precisely because of Li Ye's attitude that they were more confident to argue with reason, but they didn't expect that now Li Ye suddenly changed his mind.
