Eight hundred iron horsemen lined up outside the Qinzheng Building, and Ma Lan ascended the Qinzheng Building under the guidance of the Zhongguan. After bowing to the Son of Heaven, Ma Lan raised his head and saw the most powerful figure in the Tang Empire for the first time.

The emperor, who was nicknamed Xuanzong after his death, once pushed the power of the Tang Empire to the peak, but after being old and mediocre, he also watched the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty be cut in half.

The emperor in front of him was already a sixty-nine-year-old man, but he seemed to be extremely energetic. This is also normal, although he has experienced the blow of the Anshi Rebellion in the original history, Li Longji still lived to be seventy-eight years old.

"What an Angzang man!" Li Longji, the radiant son of the Tang Dynasty, looked at Ma Lan, his eyes were full of smiles, "Ma Shao has a son like this, he can really smile at Jiuquan!" Ma Qing, you killed the father and son of Tubo Zampu, this is a great merit, and this time you brought the head of Absi, how do you think I should reward you? ”

Ma Lan said respectfully: "It is Ma Lan's ambition to win the name of the king in the world and win the name before and after his death." What Ma Lu did was just for the duty of the general, where did he dare to ask for any reward. ”

Li Longji's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "It's the king's affairs in the world, and you have won the name before and after your death!" Okay, these two sentences are good! Ma Qing, I didn't expect you to be an all-rounder, Yang Qing, write down these two sentences. ”

An elegant man in his forties nodded to Ma Lan with a smile, took the pen and paper offered by the lieutenant and waved it.

"It's good to be high and not self-conscious. If all the courtiers are like you, I can rest easy. Li Longji looked at Ma Lan and said with a smile, "Tubo is the great thief of the country, but now it is lost in your hands, such a credit must be rewarded." Ma Lan listened! ”

Ma Lan hurriedly lowered his head, and the people sitting on the Qinzheng Building were all important ministers of the court, and they all left their seats and knelt down at this moment.

The reward given to Ma Lan has been discussed in the court for a long time, and there has been no conclusion, and the opinion of the courtiers has always been noncommittal, and no one can guess what the Son of Heaven is thinking. Now the ministers are all pricking up their ears, wondering what kind of reward the Marquis of Fufeng can get.

"Hou Ma Lu of Fufeng County defeated Tubo, made meritorious contributions to the country, promoted to the king of Fufeng County, the general of the hussars, and the three divisions of Kaifu Yi!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Luan was shocked in his heart and hurriedly kowtowed.

Although it was in front of the king, the courtiers couldn't help but feel a bang.

The Marquis of Fufeng County became the king of Fufeng County, which everyone guessed, after all, there is a precedent for Geshuhan An Lushan to be crowned the king of the county for his military exploits. This hussar general is from the first rank, the highest rank of the military officer, and the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions are also from the first rank, which is the highest rank of the civil officer. Ma Lan alone actually obtained the highest rank of civil and military officials at the same time, which has never been done before, what an honor!

Li Longji saw that the ministers looked shocked, and smiled proudly in his heart. This is what he wants, otherwise who would be willing to do solid work for the court? Li Linfu has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and there are too many flies and dogs in the court, and someone should come forward to set things right.

Seeing that although the ministers were shocked, no one spoke out against it, Li Longji pressed his hands weakly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and threw out a sentence with a smile: "This alone is not enough to reward Ma Qing for his great achievements." An Lushan of Hebei resisted the two captives in the northeast, and was the king of Dongping County because of his merit, and Shuhan, the right brother of Longyou, was the king of Xiping County because of his merit. Ma Qing's meritorious service this time is the first since the beginning of the new century, and the reward cannot be equated with the second general. However, Ma Qing is not a clan, and the position of the county king is the ultimate. Ma Qing, I will make you a flat chapter under the same book. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. With the book under the door of the Ping Zhang, this is the worship of the prime minister!

The next moment, everyone's eyes were on the elegant middle-aged man. Not for anything else, because he is the prime minister of the day. Ma Lan worships the prime minister, and he is bound to take away his power.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, and please ask Your Majesty to take back your life!" The elegant middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he kowtowed loudly.

"Yang Qing, why can't you?" Li Longji looked at the middle-aged man and smiled.

Ma Ling glanced at the middle-aged man, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu is your son-in-law, and your daughters have already lived in Lao Tzu's house, why don't you give Lao Tzu face like this.

The middle-aged man raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although Ma Lan has made great achievements, he is a martial artist after all, how can there be any reason to worship the prime minister?" His Majesty knows the disadvantages of the border general's worship clearly, and it has been banned for more than ten years, why do you want to set this precedent this time? As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles! I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life! ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Ma Lu again, and said solemnly: "Renjie, although you are my son-in-law, it is really inappropriate to worship as a military general." You and I should ask Your Majesty to take back your destiny, this is the way to be a minister. ”

Ma Lan secretly hated in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, what Lord Guogong said is reasonable, Weichen is just a martial artist, and it is really not appropriate to worship the prime minister." ”

Li Longji laughed: "Weng and son-in-law are together, this is a good story, where is there so much to say." But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death, just these two sentences, who can say that Ma Renjie is just a martial artist? If Ma Qing doesn't worship the prime minister, Guozhong, do you want me to make him the prince? He is not surnamed Li. ”

Yang Guozhong hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare!" It's just that even if Ma Lan's chest is a little ink, he is not the prime minister's talent. Weichen is not for his own selfishness, but for the sake of Datang Sheji, so he stopped this matter. Your Majesty, as soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles. ”

Li Longji smiled and said, "Guozhong, you don't have to worry. Renjie, this is just a false title, otherwise, how can I reward him for his first military merit since the beginning of the century? You can't let me equate his credit with that of Geshuhan An Lushan! Renjie has to go back to Anxi to preside over the overall situation, and he will not stay in Chang'an for a long time, my real prime minister is still you, don't worry. ”

This is already a heart-wrenching argument. Yang Guozhong's cold sweat suddenly flowed out, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean this, Weichen didn't have any selfishness......"

"So be it, this matter is settled. From now on, Ma Qing will be the same Zhongshu under the Sect. ”

Ma Luan's expression was calm, but he was ecstatic in his heart. This fucking worships the prime minister, and it's not easy for anyone to be restrained in the future!

Yang Guozhong glanced at Ma Lan, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible!" There are some things about Ma Renjie that I have concealed from Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty for concealing the crime of deceiving the king. ”

"Let's talk about it." Li Longji said with a smile.

Ma Lan secretly hated in his heart, this guy really didn't care about anything in order to monopolize the phase.

Yang Guozhong said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has checked, before Ma Renjie went to Anxi, he used to kill people in Chang'an City......

"Forgive him innocence!"

Li Longji snorted coldly, and his face instantly sank: "Yang Qing, do you really think that I am confused, an important minister who wants to worship the prime minister, will I not check his details?" It's all old things, and the people who kill them are all evil, and they still mention it! Now that you have spoken out, I have forgiven these sins of Ma Lan now! Yang Qing, are you satisfied? ”

Ma Lan heard Yang Guozhong mention the matter of the Chang'an Ranger back then, and secretly said something bad in his heart, but he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would already know about it.

After listening to the Son of Heaven, Ma Lan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, only to realize that his back was already cold and wet.

Turning his head and glancing at Yang Guozhong, Ma Lu said in his heart that this beam is concluded today. This guy said this at this time, this is to trample himself to death. He is not good-tempered, and such a revenge will be avenged sooner or later.

Yang Guozhong's thoughts he also understood, it was easy to wait until Li Linfu died to monopolize power, where to allow others to share power. Now that he has become a member of the Tongzhong Books, how can Yang Guozhong be willing.

Obviously, these rewards were completely arbitrary by the Son of Heaven, and he did not discuss them with Yang Guozhong and other ministers at all.

"Your Majesty! As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles! Yang Guozhong said with a sad face, looking like a dead grandmother.

Where did Li Longji see this, he trembled with anger, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Yang Zhao! It's all up to you? I have the final say in this world! Get out! Get the hell out of here! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, several lieutenants hurriedly went to pull up Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong sighed, and followed several lieutenants down the Qinzheng Building.

Being stirred up by Yang Guozhong like this, Li Longji's mood became a little irritable. However, Ma Luan's matter of Pingzhang under the Tongzhong Book was decided in this way.

Tongping Zhangshi is equivalent to the prime minister, which was originally a fictitious title given by the imperial court after the Anshi Rebellion, known as the envoy, and the first to get this fictitious title was Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others. Ma Lan really didn't expect that he would become the first person to get this false title and the first envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the blank generals sent to Anxi by the lieutenant officer, Ma Lu was even more emotional.

Although the Son of Heaven still knows to check his details before the reward, after all, he is a little confused, and such a reward is really too child's play.

In fact, Yang Guozhong is right, the disadvantages of the border generals are too great, and once this opening is opened, it is indeed endless trouble. Yang Guozhong is obviously not thinking about the country, but he doesn't want others to get involved in the power.

But now he desperately needs more power in order to advance into the river. Although the title of a prime minister is only a fictitious title, it can make him less constrained.

What made him happiest was the sentence of the Son of Heaven, "Renjie has to return to Anxi to preside over the overall situation, and he will not stay in Chang'an for a long time." Because this means that the matter of his continued admiral Anxi has been confirmed by the Son of Heaven Chrysostom Yuyan, and it will not change in the short term. This is the most important thing for him.

……

At the head of the diligent building, the most noble courtiers of the Tang Dynasty knelt on the ground, looking at Ma Lan one after another, and their eyes were extremely complicated.

None of them thought that the Son of Heaven would reward Ma Lu with the title of prime minister.

The king of the county is the title of the first product, the hussar general is the military officer from the first product, and the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions are the civil and scattered officials from the first product......

Titles, civil and military officials, honors, and ministry officials, all four of them have reached the top level of human ministers, and Tianbao has been in the Yuan Dynasty for decades, this is the first person!

In comparison, even Yang Guozhong, who is the prince and prime minister, is dwarfed. It's no wonder that Lord Guogong didn't miss the love of Weng and son-in-law, and tore his face to stop Ma Lu from worshipping the prime minister.

What does it mean to be on the rise? This is the real progress! (To be continued.) )
