In Central Asia, when the Arab Empire and Byzantium were in turmoil, the Jingshi of Fujian on the banks of the Ganges River was still as calm as ever.

Unlike Chang'an, which went to the court before dawn, Fujian held a court meeting until the three poles on the day of *o'clock, and let the ministers and the king of Min sleep early in the morning, which once made the old Confucian who was diligent and loved the people criticized for a long time, but later most of the officials remained silent and still kept it.

In the morning, you can leave the hot quilt nest with a kick of the 'legs', but it is really not so easy to do it, especially the Fujian State is still 'very' to take care of the officials, and those who come to be officials from all over the country have built comfortable collective dormitories for officials who have no place to live, compared to their colleagues in Chang'an, and even the prime minister sleeps in the temple is too comfortable.

But today, not only the ministers and generals, hundreds of people are waiting in front of the palace of the King of Min to enter the palace, one by one, as if they have eaten Xuanmai, Huan Shi paced back and forth, constantly asking when the palace 'gate' guards will go to court, and the dozen or so guards who asked were also crying and laughing.

They are not allowed not to be excited, after the matter is closed, I don't know who initiated it, and an atmosphere calling for the king of Fujian to be the emperor suddenly hung up and down in Fujian.

It is also true that now Fujian is millions of square kilometers in circumference, the territory is not smaller than the Tang Dynasty, the population under its jurisdiction is 15 million to 17 million, and now it occupies the entire territory of Tianzhu, completely conquering a foreign civilization, the territory is vast, the country is rich and the army is strong, the barbarian monarch of a slap-sized country during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms dares to call the emperor, relying on his own great martial arts to expand the territory and lay down such a large country, but also to be able to command the Tang Emperor of Chang'an, the King of Min is not qualified to be the emperor, who is qualified to be the emperor?

It's a pity that Li Jie doesn't want to be the emperor.

The pinnacle of power, who doesn't' Yan 'Mu, even if Li Jie is a traverser from later generations, he can become an emperor, dominate one side, and leave a name in history, he is not exempt from vulgarity, the problem is that now is not the time to be the emperor, he knows how aggressive the Islamic Empire is like fire around him, and Europe is not fuel-efficient even in the distance, etc., several crusades after a few hundred years have even Europe's own historians have identified it as a catastrophe, and the Ganges Plain has always been a big cake with honey, Li Jie does not want the Chinese civilization that he finally led here to disappear under the sword slaughter of the rest of the barbarians after centuries。

Li Jie, the peculiarity of the Chinese nation, understands it too well and is too smart! It is too easy to fight between smart people and smart people, currently subject to the Tang Dynasty, there are challenges both inside and outside, Li Jie can also condense the Fujian Kingdom into a force, if he is called the emperor at this time, it is difficult to say what these guys will be like after being satisfied.

However, the enthusiasm of the ministers to be motivated was not so easy to dispel, so Li Jie had to come up with a compromise plan with a headache.

Knighted!

Although the King of Min did not claim the title of emperor and satisfied everyone's desire to sit on an equal footing with the Central Plains, it was also beneficial to have a title to give, especially the generals who had fought for so long and the ministers who followed the Fujian State for thousands of miles, always worried that the achievements they had finally made were as fleeting as the moon in the well and the 'flowers' in the water.

Once knighted, it's like entering a safe, even if the descendants are not angry, they can be rich for three or four generations, and with the title, they can also raise their eyebrows and relatives of those big families in the Central Plains, so as soon as they get the news of the knighthood, even if the prime ministers who are usually dignified are a little unable to sit still at this time, everyone is calculating in their hearts what wars they have fought, what they have commanded, and what titles they can be awarded.

"Oh, hurry up, what's the rubbing?"

Just when the hundred officials were worried, the delicate voice sounded coldly in the corner of the palace 'door', in Fang Yiai's helpless eyes, Gao Yang's girl pulled his collar and dragged it to the side corner of the 'door', seeing the envious and jealous eyes of his colleagues around him, Fang Yiai really wanted to die.

At this time, everyone wants to know what title they are awarded, even if they don't have their own share, they know a standard of hard work, and they will strive for it in the future.

It's a pity that his wife's life cannot be violated, in Fang Yiai's depressed and apologetic gaze, he was still dragged into the palace by Gao Yang, seeing the jealous eyes of the officials and generals around him, it is better to 'mix' with Fang Yiai, Qin Huaiyang and Su Lie are grinning and laughing on the side.

"Hey, there is such a daughter-in-law, Lao Fang estimates that he will not be able to turn over in this life." Full of schadenfreude, Su Lie's friend Pei Xingjian, who was still in his thirties, laughed happily, but there was always a sour taste in his voice.

This kid is Su Lie's friend, Zhenguan twenty-three years as Su Dingfang's left battalion lieutenant a 'fan' 'confused' 'confused' into the Fujian country, this time to conquer Nan Tianzhu from Su Lie's right guard to make war exploits, he is also anxious whether he can get the title of Fujian country.

"Hey, Lao Pei, you are jealous, you can marry the most favored sister of King Min, how many years of struggle less, let's just say Decan, several large coal mines and iron mines have been contracted by Princess Gaoyang to coax King Min with a small mouth, these riches are enough for your kid to drink wine on Third Street for a few lifetimes." He knew his subordinates' 'sex' too well, and Su Dingfang also deliberately stabbed him with a smile and 'provoked' him, and sure enough, after 'touching' and 'touching' the shriveled pocket, Pei Xingjian lowered his head again.

"Then it shouldn't be because of the official abolishment of 'private', all the ministers are waiting outside the palace 'gate', in this case, the brother should abide by his duty as a minister, and wait for His Highness to summon him together, how can he blindly connive at his wife?" Full of righteousness, Qin Huaiyang said a little unevenly, but this kung fu is still the corner 'door' that Princess Gaoyang has just entered, and Li Xueyan, the ****** of his family, also poked out his neatly combed Pan Yun's head, beckoned and shouted: "Lang Jun, hurry up and come here, King Min summons!" ”

At this moment, Qin Huaiyang's embarrassed old face turned red, but he didn't go or not, Su Lie almost laughed and got angry, after a while, Su Dingfang pushed Qin Huaiyang's shoulder forward and said, "Okay, Brother Qin, it was summoned by His Royal Highness, and it doesn't go against your way of being a minister, go ahead." ”

"Then, the brother will go, and the brothers will see you back."

The tangled steps were unsteady, and Qin Huaiyang entered the corner 'door' like a girl, causing Pei Xingjian and the others to laugh non-stop.

Or full of anticipation, or laughing, hundreds of Fujian ministers also constitute a small picture of life, interspersed in one of the corners, but there is an incompatible character, wearing a black 'color' military general's uniform, leaning on the palace wall and holding his arms, slightly bowing his head, but a pair of eyes like the Himalayas blowing through the cold wind, coldly looking at the ministers of life.

But the strange thing is that he is obviously a Tang military general, but he is wrapped in a white 'colored' turban like an Arab, and there is a large beard on his young cheeks.

At this time, the main 'door' of the palace wall of the King of Min was suddenly half opened, and the eunuch Sporatita led a few guards out of the 'door'.

"Father-in-law, is the court meeting held in advance?"

"Does the King of Min have a will? Can we enter the court early? ”

"The King of Min has an order, and today's court will be delayed for half an hour."

The Chinese spoken in Sporatida has become more and more standard, and even the taste of Guanzhong has brought out a lot, but unfortunately at this time, the ministers did not have the heart to sigh the taste of their hometown, and asked one by one in surprise: "Why postpone?" ”

"Miscellaneous family will ask King Min for you?"

This is a damning statement, Li Jie is the lord, does he need to explain to the ministers if he wants to postpone the court meeting? With a word from Sbratita, a group of ministers of four or five grades dispersed.

After looking left and right, Sporatida shouted in a long and loud voice: "Lord Hou Jie of the Central Protector is not here?" His Royal Highness ordered Xuan Ru to enter the palace as soon as possible. ”

Leaning on the corner of the wall, the figure who had been indifferent stood up, and under the surprised gaze of the ministers, Shi Shiran walked towards the palace 'door'.

Seeing Hou Jie swaying 'dang' and 'dang' towards the court, the ministers of the Min State behind him stared at his back and couldn't help but talk noisily.

"Isn't this Hou Jie, the middle general? Didn't he fall out of favor because of his arrogance and domineering, and he was relegated to the Punjab border army? How did he get back? ”

"Yes, looking at him like that, it seems that he still believes in the evil cult of the Great Food Country in the West, I don't know if His Highness hates this kind of cult the most?"

"It seems that Hou Jie relied on Princess Hou to be favored and came back to find death, thinking that his father Hou Junji was ......"

"Brother be cautious!"

In all kinds of discussions, Hou Jie didn't seem to even hear it, and still went his own way into the palace in a daze, and followed Sboratida to the palace of King Min.

Or the left hall behind the main hall, Li Jie's office, what is funny is that he just found a relationship and went in to inquire about the title of Qin Huaiyang's husband and wife, and the princesses of Gaoyang are now waiting awkwardly at the 'door', and they haven't entered for half a day, but some soldiers of the forbidden army who look ordinary, and even some government soldiers and guards are constantly called in twos and threes.

smiled contemptuously, and Hou Jie didn't care about entering.

"What's the matter with finding me back? If it's a knight, you don't have to, I'm not interested. ”

In the study, Li Jie was frowning and bowing his head to study this, there were already more than ten people kneeling in front of the table, Feng Ge ordered Wu Meiniang, Wang Xuance also followed the counselor on the side to do something, and entered the 'door', but Hou Jie didn't care about the big grinning voice, and Wang Xuance couldn't help frowning when he heard Wu Meiniang, Li Jie waved his hand with a wry smile.

"You kid, you can't be serious, I was originally going to knight you, but now that the title is gone, there are still drudgeries sent to you, do you dare to take it?"

The head wrapped in the white turban shook, Hou Jie knelt down on one knee, arched his fist, and exchanged glances with Wu Meiniang, Li Jie reached out and threw away the letter he had just read.

"Let's see, Constantinople Yang Qiong's letter, can you take it?"

Very casually picked up the black 'colored' letter wrapped at his feet, and after reading it, Hou Jie raised his head again full of recklessness: "Do you want me to save your little lover?" ”
