Chapter XXII
Li Yuan has long ordered someone to arrange a dinner party in Baoguang Palace, no matter what the old man has with Li Er, the victory of the three armies is always the light on the face of the Tang Dynasty, and he can say that he is also the emperor, and he can't pull back, besides, I heard that this expedition arrested Queen Xiao, I haven't seen this brother and sister for a long time, and now the situation of the two is similar, they have the same disease, maybe they can talk together!
At the entrance of the Baoguang Palace, there were two rows of eunuchs and palace maids, all of whom bent down to greet everyone, and saw Li Er bring the soldiers, Li Yuan instructed the palace maids to hand out a glass of champagne first, and after everyone took it politely, they walked to the conference hall on the first floor and stood and chatted, the whole scene was very in line with the Western-style cold dinner banquet!
Li Er lowered his head and asked the vendor, and after knowing that everything was arranged, he walked quickly to the rostrum and knocked on the microphone on the stage, "Ahem, everyone be quiet"
Everyone hurriedly grabbed the wine glass and stood upright, and listened to Comrade Li Er's speech, "Everyone, I will say more superfluous words, let us drink this cup and spend a good night together"
Then everyone raised a glass together to "congratulate my emperor"
After a glass of wine was finished, Li Er beckoned to the door, "Come on, bring it up"
Li Er's voice was a little abrupt, and everyone didn't know what to serve, so they all looked at the palace maid who came in from the door in confusion!
The palace maids lowered their heads and held a stainless steel tray covered with red cloth in their hands, and the red cloth was thin underneath, and they couldn't see why.
The first palace maid walked to Li Er's side and stood still, smiling generously at the bottom, Li Er also laughed, and everyone was confused when they laughed!
didn't wait too long, Li Er began to praise by name, "This expedition has made you hard work, and your credit is not something that can be remembered by gold and silver, I have been thinking about finding a good way to express your merits, but I have never been able to find it, fortunately, we have a universal national teacher"
Everyone looked at the hawker and smiled, and the hawker gestured to everyone, Li Er glanced at the goods, "The first merit of this expedition to the north should be General Li Jing, Li Jing stepped forward to listen to the seal"
This came out too suddenly, Datang had never done it like this before, Li Jing was almost stunned for a while, until Li Ji behind him pushed him, and then respectfully walked in front of Li Er, "Your Majesty"
"Pacifying the grassland, Li Jing's contribution is the first, Li Jing is crowned the Duke of Weiguo, increasing the number of food towns by 300 households, 100 taels of gold and 1,000 taels of silver, and 100 horses of silk."
After listening to this, Li Jing excitedly swayed, Duke, this is the highest title that non-members of the royal family can achieve, of course, there are also kings, and the fate of ordinary kings of the opposite sex is not much better, so Li Jing never dared to think that it was better to be a duke, and he was ready to bend down and thank Li Er at the moment.
Li Eryi stretched out his hand to stop, "Duke Wei, don't worry, you haven't finished speaking?"
Li Jing smiled awkwardly, he was too anxious, Li Er was very satisfied with the courtier's feeling of being in control, "I will give a medal of the Northern Golden White Tiger as a reward"
Order of the White Tiger? What kind of thing is this, no one present has ever heard of this thing, Li Jing first looked puzzled, and then glanced at the vendor next to him who watched everyone make a fool of himself, and knew that it must be something that was done by Ya.
Li Er lifted the red cloth on the palace maid's plate, revealing the gold White Tiger Medal below, and a majestic tiger-shaped medal with a ribbon appeared on it, carefully picked it up, Li Er beckoned to Li Jing, "Duke Wei is coming, I will personally bring it for you"
Li Jing walked up to Li Er like a marionette, Li Er gently brushed away the non-existent dust on Li Jing's chest, and then put the White Tiger Medal on Li Jing's chest, "Okay, Wei Gong turned around and let everyone see"
Li Jing turned to the people present with a sigh, everyone was waiting to see what the White Tiger Medal was, and when Li Jing turned around, the audience shouted, "It's so beautiful, it's so mighty"
"Tsk, if only I could get one, envy"
"Think about it"
… After Li Jing finished, the second person Li Er called was Li Ji, "Mao Gong is smart and resolute, has a good march plan, is crowned a British duke, increases food by 300 people, gold and silver 1000 taels, 100 silk horses, and gives a gold and white tiger medal"
With Li Jing's example, Li Ji is a little familiar, and today's second Golden White Tiger Medal is out, and everyone is looking forward to who the third one will be given.
The third one was obtained by Chai Shao, this kid is a colt, and he is the head of the Jinhe Road march on this expedition, he is very effective in combat, there is no objection to taking a gold and white tiger medal, and the fourth one was taken by Zhang Gongjin, which is turned by Wang Shichong's subordinates, and now he is ranked fourth to take it, it seems that Li Er intends to comfort some people, and use this method to prove that he is not suspicious of employing people and is broad-minded.
The fifth one was taken by Xue Wanche, and the happy kid didn't know the east, west, north and south, you must know that Ya is only about twenty years old this year, and being lucky enough to get this medal represents an unlimited future in the future, and some older ministers in the crowd began to look at the little handsome guy with a look at their son-in-law.
After Xue Wanche got the medal, he came down and hugged the hawker hard, almost strangling the hawker to death, "Uncle, thank you"
"You let go is the greatest thank you to me" Xue Wanche saw the breathless hawker in his arms, and let go of his hand "I'm sorry, I'm too excited" The hawker waved his hand, holding his knees and panting!
When everyone was waiting for who the sixth medal would be given to, Li Er suddenly announced, "Congratulations to the above five generals who won the Golden White Tiger Medal" and took the lead in applauding after speaking, everyone realized that the Golden White Tiger Medal was gone, and they felt a sense of loss in their hearts!
But it didn't take long for Li Er to wave his hand to let the first palace maid go down, and replace the second one up, everyone's eyes lit up, there was a play!
Sure enough, Li Er began to announce again, "In the battle of the northern expedition, the eldest grandson Wuji's logistics support is orderly....A gold Xuanwu medal is specially given"
Wow! Eh, everyone finally understands the meaning of the medal, it turned out to be evolved according to the four elephants, and the hawkers really spared no effort to promote Taoism, but this expedition is a tiger, and it is a turtle at home, but I don't know what the Vermilion Bird and the Green Dragon represent!
The eldest grandson Wuji always thought that tonight was just to commend the soldiers who went on the expedition, but he didn't expect to have a share in himself, although other rewards are also very good, but at this special time tonight, it is a great honor to be able to get a gold medal!
Under the eldest grandson Wuji, there is a strict wife like a hawker, Fang Xuanling, after the old house got the medal, he considered whether this thing could be exchanged for a few cigarettes when he returned it to the national teacher, the family's management was too strict, and all the money was handed over, and the cigarette money was seriously insufficient!
Under the old house is Du Ruhui, and then there is a character that no one expected: Xiao Yu! When they heard Li Er's name, everyone thought they had heard it wrong, this was Empress Xiao's younger brother, everyone didn't know why Li Er gave him a medal at first, but then after thinking about it, Li Er was showing favor to some people who surrendered to the previous dynasty!
Even the peddler couldn't stop nodding after he understood what Li Er meant, Li Er's trick was amazing, a commendation conference was turned into a dojo to win people's hearts, amazing!
Seeing that one or two of Zhengbei even gave medals to those who supported logistics, Lao Cheng, who was in the crowd, was not happy, lowered his head and didn't know what to mutter!
Suddenly, as if he heard someone calling him, Lao Cheng raised his blank face and looked at Li Er, pointing to his nose, "Call me?" “
Li Er waved at Lao Cheng angrily, "Well, come, this Golden Vermilion Bird Medal is to commend you for your contribution to pacifying the Iron Fang people in the past two years."
"Oh, I thought Your Majesty forgot about me, Your Majesty" and then grabbed the Golden Vermilion Bird Medal on the plate and pinned it to his chest, Li Er didn't react yet, he looked at the empty plate with two paws and smiled bitterly, this old Cheng!
Lao Cheng put on the medal for himself and went down with his chest straight, and walked in front of people with a look on his face, "Look at it, golden, haha, envy?" Envy is right."
The others who were angry wanted to go up and beat him, Lao Cheng didn't care, what we wanted was this effect, Li Er waved his hand helplessly and let the palace maid go down.
"The above is the reward for the soldiers and courtiers who have done their best for the Tang Dynasty over the years, and secondly, some heroes have emerged in this battle to conquer the north, and their appearance has played a role in turning the tide of the war.
Mei Changkong came with the peddler, and when he heard Li Er's call, he immediately appeared like a divine dragon "See Your Majesty"
Li Er looked at Mei Changkong with satisfaction, "The battle of Mei Chang Blank Road, not afraid of hardships and dangers, sacrificing himself for the country, decided on a war, and made immortal military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, defeating the enemy, and specially giving three hundred food towns, one hundred thousand gold and silver, in the name of merit, knighted Krupp"
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Poof, there was a sound of falling to the ground in the crowd, and someone exclaimed and shouted, "National teacher, national teacher, what's wrong with you?" (To be continued.) )
