Li Ji, as the general manager of the march of Liaodong Road and the commander of the three armies, won such a great victory in the Eastern Expedition, and added the crown prince and prince, and gave the fiefdom together with the previous 1,100 households, and awarded the reward of the governor of Yangzhou without any objection.

Goguryeo was destroyed, Pyongyang set up the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to manage its land, Xue Rengui made outstanding achievements, led 20,000 troops to stay in Pyongyang, and awarded Xue Rengui as the general of the Right Weiwei, the title of Pingyang County Duke, and the inspection of the school Andong Metropolitan Protector This people have no objection.

Destroyed Goguryeo, Qibi He Li was promoted to the general of the town army because of his merits, etc., changed the title of Liangguo Gong, Liu Renyuan was awarded the general of Zuo Xiao Wei Xuan, Dugu Qing Yun right Wei Wei General, Shangzhu State, the founding prince of Ruyang County, Pang Tongshan right Jinwu general, Gao Kan was promoted to the general of the left prison guard, even Guo Beifeng was promoted to the general of the left leopard Taowei, and Li Duoqi was promoted to the general of the right Yulin army because he even broke the seven cities, and no one objected.

Only as soon as Di Fengti mentioned the deliberations of the governor of Qianzhou, Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the ministry, was the first to stand up against it, Guo Chen has been filial to Li Jingxuan for many years, and this silver is not in vain. Di Feng killed Guo Chen, if he didn't make some trouble for Di Feng, then who would come to honor himself again in the future?

Li Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "Holy Emperor, Holy Empress, although Di Feng's merits are great, his methods are extreme and despicable, not to mention that King Zhou has just made the governor of Qianzhou, and it is too hasty to change Di Feng at this time." Please also consider the two saints. ”

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian saw that Di Renjie was below and the old god was there, and they also felt that what Li Jingxuan said was reasonable, so they rejected Di Feng's proposal to be promoted to the governor of Qianzhou, but Di Fenggong couldn't help but be rewarded, so Gaozong asked: "In Qing's opinion, how should Di Feng reward Ningzhou Thorn Shi?" ”

Li Jingxuan said: "Di Feng lost the grain and grass first, and then made a slaughter of the city, which is contrary to the principles of heaven. ”

"Li Shangshu's words are wrong", Fang Renyu couldn't listen to it anymore, he came out and interrupted Li Jingxuan and said: "The fault of the loss of grain is not Di Feng, this British duke has already explained it. As for the slaughter of the city, how can the enemy be frightened without some forceful means in the middle of the war, not to mention far away, just say that there are many people who kill the enemy in the pit, and this is not a crime. With Di Feng's age, it is inappropriate to mention Di Feng as the governor of Qianzhou, but Wei Chen thinks that it is more appropriate to let Di Feng replace Wei Chen as the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture. ”

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian listened to Fang Renyu's suggestion, Li Ji is now the governor of Yangzhou, and it is appropriate to let Di Feng go to Yangzhou to make a long history, not to mention that Di Feng's governance of Ningzhou is good, and the official reputation is good, so it can be seen that Di Feng is a good official who governs the place.

Li Zhi was just about to agree, Li Jingxuan retorted: "It is true that I killed the enemy in the pit of the famous generals, but Di Feng's actions are different from those of his predecessors, Di Feng slaughtered not only the enemy generals but also ordinary people, it is understandable to kill the enemy, but it is intolerable to kill innocent people, and then according to Fang Shangshu, let Di Feng go to Yangzhou, Rong Weichen said right and wrong, the British public is also the military department, the cabinet, and other important positions and is the governor of Yangzhou, Di Feng is the person he protects, if he is still with him at this time, is he not afraid of committing a taboo?" ”

As soon as he heard that Li Jingxuan actually involved the topic on Li Ji, Liu Renliang couldn't help but scold Li Jingxuan, "Let it go!" "Xu Shiji is grateful for virtue and meritorious service, and he is also a pure minister." This is Gao Zu's evaluation of the British Duke, how can you, a villain, talk about it in vain. ”

"I'm just talking about things, not personally, why does Liu Zhongshu want to insult me?" As soon as Li Jingxuan heard Liu Renliang say that he was a villain, he immediately confronted each other, and saw that the two were about to fight.

Li Zhi knew that Liu and Li were not compatible, and they pinched each other as soon as they met; He also knew that Li Ji was a pure minister and loyal to him, but Li Ji and Di Feng were both good generals, and Li Jingxuan's words still made him have a trace of concern, so Li Zhi stopped Liu Renliang and Li Jingxuan's bickering, and did not mention whether Di Feng could take over the matter of Yangzhou Governor Shi, but asked Di Renjie: "Huaiying, what do you think?" ”

Di Renjie was also worried that he couldn't see through Di Feng's current thoughts, he was afraid that Di Feng would become greedy for profit and do something rebellious, so when he asked Di Feng to serve as the governor of Qianzhou and the governor of Yangzhou, he didn't say a word, these two positions are real power, not to mention the governor of Qianzhou, a state official can completely dominate one side, and the governor of Yangzhou is the sole ruler of Yangzhou, and the power is no different from the history of assassination.

Now that Gaozong asked about his opinion, Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "Di Mou thinks he is fair, and I know the truth that he is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, but the dog is really young and unstable, and the sage is entrusted with a heavy task with him, I am afraid that it will ruin the court's plan, and Weichen thinks that it is enough to let Di Feng be an official in one of the six departments, and it is absolutely inappropriate to appoint a place." ”

No one thought that Di Renjie would push out such a great reward, everyone thought that this was Di Renjie's Gao Feng Liang Festival, Gaozong Li Zhi laughed when he heard it: "Huai Yinggang is strict and clear, it is true, but if I am not rewarded for my merits, I will not be laughed at, I have an idea, you don't have to fight, when Di Feng returns to Chang'an, I will be rewarded." ”

After everyone dispersed, Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhi and asked softly, "Jiulang, how are you going to reward Di Feng?" ”。 With Wu Zetian's understanding of Di Renjie, she didn't think that Di Renjie's reward for shirking Di Feng was a high-spirited festival.

Di Renjie is fair, but he is definitely not a fake public and private person, and it is exactly like this, if Di Feng is really meritorious, even if Di Feng is his Di Renjie's son, he will not shy away from rewarding Di Feng, which has nothing to do with identity but is related to justice and fairness.

But why did Di Renjie turn down Di Feng's reward? Could it be that Di Feng's military exploits are fake? Wu Zetian denied this idea after thinking about it for a while, Di Feng's military exploits are obvious to all and cannot be faked. So what is Di Renjie for? can make Di Renjie scruples, which made Wu Zetian suddenly interested in Di Feng.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian and replied with a smile: "Di Feng's taxes in Ningzhou have increased year after year, which shows that this person has the ability to control money and grain, so I plan to let Di Feng go to the household department to be a waiter."

"Tobe Squire, is the fourth grade? This reward doesn't match his merits, huh? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of those bloody soldiers? Wu Zetian asked puzzled.

"Of course it can't be like that, I also plan to give Di Feng a knighthood, so that it can always show my generosity, right?"

Since Gaozong succeeded to the throne, the title of the Tang Dynasty has hardly increased, not to mention, in order to collect power, Gaozong is still intentionally or unintentionally withdrawing the title awarded by Taizong, those ministers with high merit are at most to give an honorary official title, no longer awarding the title, just like Li Ji's Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor, don't look at the grade is not the highest but in fact it is an honor. This is not something that anyone other than the imperial family can easily obtain.

And if Di Feng is given a hereditary title, this reward is indeed not small, Wu Zetian asked curiously: "Where are you going to seal him?" ”

Li Zhi smiled evilly and pointed to the map, Wu Zetian followed Li Zhi's finger, and Li Zhi pointed to the land owned by Goguryeo.

Li Zhi is also a child, he has already thought about it, the title will be given to you, but I will paint it for you in Liaodong, where it is the land of Goguryeo, and you also snatched it back for me, so I will be a favor and reward you again. Not to mention that other people's land is far away, it is difficult to govern, and he will not be heartbroken if he gives the reward to the minister. (To be continued.) )
