Chapter 272: Reward in the Palace

Along the way, the 'petals' flew all over the sky, and when they arrived in Chang'an City, the army was already wearing a 'red coat'.

There were people everywhere on the side of the road, and when they looked at the past, they couldn't see the edge at all, and the black pressure was full of people, waving excitedly at Su Bai and the others, shouting the words of Datang Wansheng and so on.

When I arrived in Chang'an City, the shops and pavilions on the side of the road were full of people, and even on the branches of the trees there were a few naughty children, hanging on them, staring at the army with big eyes and snot.

It can also be said that they all looked at the Ghost King Army!

It's really that compared to the other armies behind them, the military discipline, quality, materials, and so on are not comparable to them, maybe only the most elite forbidden army can match them!

The whole body is covered in pitch-black iron armor, holding a blade glowing with cold light in his hand, and his waist is straight, what is even more attractive is the sound of their horses' hooves! Uniform! Prove that they are all elite all the time!

At this time, Su Bai was at the forefront of the Ghost King Army! Each commander was in front of his army, and Li Jing was at the forefront with Li Shimin, enjoying the cheers of the people.

Passing through every place, the people will shout frantically when they see Li Shimin, long live Your Majesty! Long live Datang! At this moment, Datang's national cohesion is unprecedentedly strong!

Every citizen of Datang feels that the future of following Li Shimin must be brilliant! Don't you see that even the mighty Turks have now been defeated by the Tang Dynasty? Who else can stop Datang now?

Li Shimin also liked this scene very much, he sat in the luxurious car, stood up straight, stretched out his hands to make a hug and said, "People! This time it's me Datang who wins! Later! The Turks will no longer be our enemies! They also don't qualify to be our enemies! Turkic! Now it's part of our Datang! ”

The people went crazy, and many people cried bitterly, obviously because they were in a great mood.

Jieli Khan almost vomited blood when he heard these words, and the little good impression he had for Li Shimin before disappeared.

Songs and laughter along the way, praise and praise along the way! The army has arrived outside the palace! Su Bai and other commanders who were qualified to go to the court dismounted one after another, and followed Li Shimin to the Taiji Palace in great strides!

Li Tai half-supported Li Chengqian to follow behind, and then there were hundreds of civil and military officials in the imperial court! Li Tai's eyes when he looked at Su Bai were very complicated, there were jealousy, hatred, jealousy and other emotions, all of which were seen by Li Chengqian.

Li Tai seemed to have discovered Li Chengqian's gaze, but when he looked at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian's face was already looking ahead. For this eldest brother he once admired, Li Tai's current thoughts are also a little complicated.

On the one hand, he felt that he was a little sorry for his brother and felt that he was taking advantage of others! But on the other hand, he felt that he was all for the Tang Dynasty, after all, let a lame man be the emperor, and let other countries think of the Tang Dynasty? And that's the throne!

In front of the throne, family affection, friendship, everything can be given up, as long as you sit in that position! You have the world! Got it all!

In the end, all the civil and military officials entered the Taiji Palace, divided into the civil and military ranks, Li Shimin sat on the throne, Li Chengqian stood in the lower position, and Li Tai stood below. Wang Xi's figure is becoming more and more rickety, standing beside Li Shimin without showing the mountain and water, if you don't look for it carefully, you will definitely not see the figure of this old eunuch.

"Wei Guogong! Come forward and listen to the seal! ”

Wang Xi walked to Li Shimin's hand, and used internal force in his mouth, and the sound he made echoed back and forth in the Taiji Palace.

After Li Jing heard this, he pressed the knife in his left hand, held the helmet in his right hand, and strode in front of the hundred officials with the appearance of a martial artist, knelt down on one knee and said, "The minister is here!" Wang Xi picked up the holy decree and said, "This time to fight the Turks!" The defense of the country is a great achievement! Take credit! Specially given goldfish bag, given to the forbidden palace to walk! Horseback riding! 100,000 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of silk, 10,000 acres of fertile land! ”

Li Jing's reward was unusually rich, but there was no improvement in his official title and title! In other words, Li Shimin now feels that Li Jing is a little unelevated! In the ascending is the throne!

Li Jing also heard some meanings, in history, after this conquest of the Turks, Li Jing also lived an almost secluded life, and he was also afraid of being a master!

The hundreds of officials in the imperial court, naturally, many people understood, and even the eyes of Cheng Yanjin and other generals who looked at Li Jing changed from envy to pity! This Tang Dynasty military god, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight any big battles in this life!

After a series of rewards, Li Jing knelt down to thank him, and Wang Xi continued to read, "King Jiangxia! Come forward and listen to the seal! ”

Li Daozong walked in front of the hundred officials, and also knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister!" Li Daozong! Listen to the seal! ”

"Turkic war! Fortunately, thanks to the delay of King Jiangxia, the Ghost King Army was able to capture Jieli Khan alive! Congratulations! ”

Li Daozong's reward is also a lot, and then, Li, Chai Shao and others stepped forward one by one to listen to the reward, everyone's reward is not light, although it is not as good as Li Jing, but it can completely match their merits!

Su Bai's name has never appeared on the list. The order of rewards is actually sorted according to the size of the merit, and Su Bai's merit may be a little worse than Li Jing's according to reason, but why hasn't his name appeared until now?

Did Li Shimin forget? Of course not! All the ministers understand that Li Shimin should be going to reward Su Bai in a big way! They had also received sporadic news before, and most of the family officials were also ready!

They knew what Li Shimin wanted to do, and they also understood that Li Shimin's plan was nothing more than to support Su Bai to stand directly opposite them. Only when the struggle between the Hanmen and the family starts can he sit firmly on the throne!

The eyes of many family officials fell on Su Bai's body, with this little boy, what ability could he have to compete with so many families? Even if one of the family gives him a mouthful of foam, he can drown him alive!

Su Bai's heart was also beating violently, he knew that the storm was coming soon!

"County man! Wang Chouniu stepped forward to listen to the seal! ”

Finally, Su Bai's name echoed in the hall, Su Bai took a deep breath, strode in front of the hundred officials, and like the previous ones, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, "Minister!" King Ugly Cow! Listen to the seal! ”

"The county man, Wang Chouniu, took the early school year to protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty, and set out on the expedition! Capture Jieli Khan! Kill more than 10,000 Turkic thieves! Countless broken cities! Congratulations! ”

After speaking, Wang Xi actually paused, and the needles in the court could be heard, the silence was terrible, and the depression was terrifying. Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Wang Xi, wanting to hear how Li Shimin rewarded Su Bai.

I heard Wang Xi read: "Reward the king and the ugly cow, and the title is promoted to the marquis!" Make such a contribution at the age of early school! Your Majesty is hereby named Marquis! Unparalleled! ”

All the ministers in the court are going to die in their heads, what the hell? The title is not counted, and the title is still given? Unparalleled! Listen, Wushuang! How can this kid be able to do anything! Can he afford a title?

Wang Xi's voice continued, "Special reward, the entire territory of Shiyi County!" At this moment, the ministers in the court finally came back to their senses, and several of them came to the front of the hundred officials in a few steps, bent down and saluted, "Your Majesty!" Ministers are against! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"

"The minister is also against it!"

Immediately afterwards, more ministers reflected it, and came to the front of the palace and said, "The minister is against it!" ”

"The minister is against!"

For a while, at least one-third of the ministers in the court came out, and there were several high-ranking and powerful ones! Even, Wei Zheng also walked out and joined the opposing camp!

Su Bai didn't seem to hear all this, but he still maintained his previous posture, kneeling on one knee and clenching his fists with both hands!

Li Shimin looked at the many ministers below, although there was no reaction on the surface, but he was already angry in his heart! He had been prepared for the opposition of the family before, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people who were opposed!

And Li Shimin also knows that these are not all people! There must be many people in the family who are not in a hurry to make a move, and want to wait and see before making a conclusion!

Wang Xi did not stop reading the holy decree because of their objections, and continued to read in an orderly manner: "This battle! The Ghost King Army has repeatedly performed miraculous feats! Wang Chouniu has trained his soldiers well! The king of the ugly cow is the commander of the ghost king army! The Ghost King's army has expanded to 10,000 people! Belong to the king and the ugly cow are all in command! ”

At this moment, even Su Bai's head is going to die! In terms of official position, Su Bai is now a marquis, and in terms of money, he eats the whole county! Now it has directly given Su Bai the right to fight! Now there are many ministers secretly slandering, could this Su Bai be Li Shimin's illegitimate child outside the palace before? Otherwise, why would he be so gracious?

Didn't you say before that Li Jing was the first to work? But why is Li Jing's reward not as much as half of Su Bai's?

At the moment, many ministers knelt directly in the main hall and began to kowtow with a bang, looking like a dead admonition! Li Shimin's expression still did not change, let them kowtow in the hall with a bang, and did not care about the blood oozing from their foreheads, and said in an unusually calm voice, "Merit is naturally rewarded!" Why is everyone like this? ”

"Your Majesty! Wang Xiannan is only eleven years old this year! The experience and experience are still shallow, so you can't catch Jieli Khan by chance, and reward him so much! A minister in the family also stood up at this time, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

In a word, the exploit of Su Bai capturing Jieli Khan alive is set as a coincidence! In fact, this is clearly saying that Su Bai is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and he is rewarded so much, and his merit is not worthy of a reward!

Cheng Biting Jin snorted and sneered twice, and said, "Lord Tang's words are wrong! Serendipitous Chance? The imperial army is more than 100,000! If it was really a coincidence, why didn't anyone else catch Jieli Khan? ”

Master Tang also sneered back and continued, "Lu Guogong has always had a close relationship with Wang Xianmen, and the old man even heard that Wang Chouniu's wife is Ling Mei's only daughter!" In this matter, please also ask Lu Guogong to avoid one or two! ”

"You!"

Cheng Biting Jin snorted angrily and was about to turn his face, but Qin Qiong beside him grabbed Cheng Biting Jin's hand and stopped him, then looked at Master Tang and continued, "The so-called internal move does not avoid relatives!" Even if there is such a relationship, there is nothing wrong with what Zhijie said before! On the contrary, it was Lord Tang, who said that the merits of the soldiers were a coincidence in a few words, I don't know if Lord Tang has ever been on the battlefield? Have you ever killed the Turks? Serendipitous Chance? Then please give me a chance to see how about it? ”

Qin Qiong's words are stubborn, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong also have some power of the family behind them, and they will be affected to some extent, but at this most critical moment, the two of them still chose to stand behind Su Bai without hesitation.

Master Tang made Qin Qiong a little speechless, just when he didn't know what to do, there was another person among the ministers, who was also a member of the family, he looked at Qin Qiong with a smile and said, "Hu Guogong's words are wrong, we are civil officials, and governing the people is my duty!" If I wait for the civil servants to fight and kill, and the generals govern the people, won't the world be in chaos? ”

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "What Lord Li said is extremely true, since this is the case, I also ask Lord Tang not to point fingers about the matter of my generals!" lest you speak any nonsense and make people laugh! ”

Master Li chuckled and shook his head, "Hu Guogong, Datang is enlightened, and everyone has the right to speak!" Besides, Lord Tang's words were not wrong before, yes, Wang Xiannan took two thousand ghost king troops to the battlefield, and this year is only the year of kindergarten, which is a great achievement! But is that really the case? ”

Master Li's expression slowly turned cold, and he said, "A child, even if he is a genius in the sky, what can he do?" Even what King Jiangxia, Wei Guogong and others have not completed, can he do it with a young son? ”

This sentence is no different from scolding the street, and he also deliberately pointed out Li Jing and Li Daozong, seemingly wanting to pull the two of them into his camp. When Li Jing and Li Daozong heard this, they both shook their heads in unison, and Li Jing even said, "Military merits in the army have always been supervised by me!" What does Master Li mean, is it because he can't believe me, Li? ”

Lord Li was shocked, and said in his heart that he had just patronized the other party, why didn't he pay attention to these details?

Li Daozong also said, "Master Li, what's wrong with the kindergarten? There is a twelve-year-old Ganluo in ancient times! Now that my Datang is also so arrogant, why is it in the mouth of adults, but it is mostly suspicious and ridiculed! ”

Su Bai was a little surprised this time, he could understand that Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong helped him speak before, after all, they were all members of the same camp, but Li Jing and Li Daozong and Su Bai were not better, how could they help themselves speak in this period?

It wasn't until Su Bai saw Li Shimin's eyes that he realized that they were not helping themselves, but helping Li Shimin!
