Chapter 262: Sticks and Turnips

In the court, the sword light and blood shadow were gone.

The mouth of a literati, the sword of a military general.

is just a mouth, and then a lot of credit is wiped out.

The many generals who were waiting for the reward suddenly stared back and forth.

There was a murderous atmosphere in the Xuanwu Palace.

The senior general Li Jing has the heaviest credit, and among the second generals, Su Lie is the most credited.

This represents two waves of people, the imperial court general and the military region's heavy general.

But as soon as the reward began, it fell to the point of initiating and even impeachment review.

"Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy head of the Datong Dao March, has captured Dubi, and in the interrogation, Dubi does not have many treasures from my Datang!"

"In this expedition to the Khanate, only Hongluqing Tang Jian recovered the Dingtang Knife, and the whereabouts of the other treasures are unknown!"

"If Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, can restrain his subordinates, maybe we can welcome back Chongbao, even if we can't find it at that time, as long as Yang He is forcibly interrogated, there will definitely be a chance to know where Chongbao is."

Xiao Yu opened his mouth again and again, and even Emperor Tang frowned.

"What Lord Xiao said is extremely true, and Minister Wen Yanbo seconded the proposal, with Li Jing's behavior, I am afraid that our Datang will be ridiculed."

Xiao Yu's side, another important minister came out to agree.

"What does Li Qing have to say?"

Emperor Tang looked at Li Jing at the front of the military generals.

"The minister has nothing to say!"

Li Jing came out of the ranks, he looked at Emperor Tang, and then looked at Xiao Yu on the side.

Halfway through, he spit out a word.

Even he didn't expect to be impeached in this way.

But what Xiao Yu said is the truth, and he is irrefutable.

"Conniving at the plundering of his subordinates is not strict in governing the army, and it is even more ridiculous and generous, we obviously have a system of rewards and punishments, why did Li Qing govern his subordinates to adopt such a radical method."

"You have been fighting on the march for many years, and you should know the dangers of this indulgence and plunder."

"A moment of indulgence will fill some people's greed, and they will no longer have the motivation to struggle."

"You will not only lose the treasure of Datang, but also the fierce generals under you."

"If you have thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of family wealth, how many people are still willing to fight and charge."

"Ridiculous! Confused! ”

"Are you guilty?"

Above the hall, Emperor Tang opened his mouth again and again, directly reprimanding Li Jing.

Emperor Tang opened his mouth, which made some courtiers who had participated in the performance suddenly close their mouths.

"The minister is guilty!"

In the Xuanwu Palace, Li Jing kowtowed and apologized.

The civil officials of the imperial court were theoretical, and the Tang Emperor had never personally conquered them, so Li Hongru felt that there was not much problem with Li Jing's indulgence in plunder.

This was Datang's first major war with the outside world.

This kind of big war cannot be lost.

And the khanate had a lot of bad names in the past.

If there is no special incentive, who is willing to go out and fight.

Not only Li Jing's Dingxiang Dao, but also Tongmodao have let go of this unspoken rule of private.

It's just that Dingxiangdao caused something big.

Li Hongru couldn't help but think of his Qiankun bag.

But he couldn't contribute the nine magic weapons of the fairy yuan that he finally obtained, just to get the little reward from the imperial court.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and he can't be so selfless.

If there are no measures to open up all the measures, it is impossible to expect him to fight with Yang He and count on him to join the Iron General Regiment.

Since joining the war, Li Hongru has been running for all kinds of benefits.

If he really wanted to wait for the victory to receive the imperial reward, then he would have quit a long time ago.

"Chen Su Lie is guilty!"

Li Jing surrendered, Su Lie's face squirmed slightly several times, and finally he knelt down unwillingly.

This made the atmosphere of the Xuanwu Hall seem inexplicably weird.

It was originally a reward conference, but it seems to have evolved into a situation of settling accounts after the fact.

Many people were solemn and silent.

After almost a minute of silence, I could hear the Tang Emperor in the court speak.

"In the previous dynasty, I once attacked the Khanate, and I did not reward the important generals for their merits, and they were killed for their crimes, and finally lost the country, but I will not do this, I will forgive you for the crime of not being able to govern the army, and I will record your exploits in defeating the Khanate."

"Xuan, add the secretary of the military department Li Jing as Zuo Guanglu's doctor, give 1,000 silk horses, and enjoy 500 households."

Tang Huang's words changed, and the repeated reprimands were also accompanied by rewards afterwards.

He even made a personal call on an ad hoc basis.

After getting off the dragon chair and personally supporting Li Jing, who was kneeling, Xuanwu Hall suddenly dispersed in all clouds, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The imperial historian Xiao Yu initiated this kind of impeachment at the time of the reward, but I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate, and Chen Wei Zheng said that it is incomprehensible!"

As Emperor Tang spoke, one person suddenly stood up.

"The participation of the imperial historian Xiao Yu almost chilled the hearts of my Tang soldiers, but I am afraid that there are some other thoughts."

"I heard that some people hated Li Shangshu for killing the demon queen Yang He because of some personal affairs in the previous dynasty."

When someone took the lead, two more people stood up one after another, and there was no lack of targeting for Xiao Yu in their words.

This made Tang Huang frown slightly.

"Today is the reward conference, Your Majesty only makes a reward, you Aiqing don't want to talk about anything else!"

When there was a slight confrontation, the emperor and queen came out to make a round.

With a slight cough, the small voice in the court suddenly stopped.

Li Hongru raised his head slightly, and when he stared at the emperor and queen, he saw that the other party's body was full of golden light, and there were many black rays entangled.

When he looked at it, he also saw the emperor and queen glance over, and immediately lowered his head.

"Yes, today I will only do a reward, and nothing else."

Emperor Tang nodded again and again, and then waved his hand, which allowed the attendant who read the will to continue to speak.

"Zhou Feiwei stepped forward to listen to the ......"

In the decree that was read out, the rankings were based on military districts, merit, or official positions, which looked a little messy.

But the messy order also makes many people feel balanced in their hearts, and they just feel that there is nothing wrong with this ranking.

Even the order in which the prize is received involves some sort of arrangement.

Li Hongru only felt that it was difficult to be a civil official in the palace.

The sword light and sword shadow above this court are even more difficult to prevent.

It's no wonder that Wang Fuchou can't stand it, so he can only lie at home to pass the time.

"Li Hongru stepped forward to listen to the reward!"

Nearly half of the number of people, Li Hongru heard the waiter snort, and he suddenly walked out of the queue.

He doesn't have a military position, but the credit is not bad.

This puts him in the middle of the pack.

This kind of ranking is also just right, it will not attract too much attention, trigger targeting, and not be cold.

Li Hongru only felt that this arrangement made him quite comfortable.

"In the year of Li Hongru's weak crown, Bai Richeng and Yang He fought the law, broke his wind and snow technique, and entered the iron general camp in Dingxiang Road, and the killing was meritorious, and he was entangled with Yang He's fighting method again, so that Yang He could be ambushed, and His Majesty personally gave Li Hongru a student of the country, a bounty of one hundred taels!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Li Hongru thanked him.

The reward is inseparable from the personal approval and delivery of newspapers by the commanders of major military regions.

The bounty of one hundred taels was Zhou Feiwei's reward, and Xu Maogong really reported it.

This money was held comfortably, which made the Li family, who had bought a big house, suddenly feel a lot more comfortable.

Li Jing's recommendation is a Guozi student.

This made Li Hongru purse his lips.

His time in Taixue was very short, just over a month.

The Four Gates Pavilion is the highest institution of learning that civilians can enter, while Taixue needs to have a backer behind it.

When he was a son of the country, if he was not talented in Taixue, he would be a son of a high-class family in the court.

Li Hongru has neither, and it is impossible to enter the country.

But the Tang Emperor personally gave it and turned the impossible into a possibility.

After all, the emperor has the final say.

With the will of the Tang Emperor, no one will say anything, and there will be no confrontational incidents.

Like Yuan Tiangang, he can be regarded as a pilgrimage, and there are still people who want to show goodwill.

"I heard you also beheaded the golden eagle?"

After receiving the bounty and getting the waist card, the chamberlain began to read out, Li Hongru was about to retreat, and suddenly heard the Tang Emperor ask.

This is about the golden eagle.

"Yes!"

Li Hongru replied respectfully.

He didn't know if the royal family wanted the broken golden eagle claws, but it was no problem to do it at this time.

As for whether Wang Fuchou can get rid of the charge of demagoguery in "The Secret Record" in the future, he can only take one step at a time.

"When you were weak, how did you kill this kind of big demon, can you tell me about it and let me solve my doubts?"

Seeing Li Hongru's admission, Tang Huang was also quite curious.

It's no problem for a strong martial artist to kill a golden eagle at close range, and after a strong Yuan Shen is out of his body, he also has a chance to kill a golden eagle within a certain range, but Li Hongru's level is ......

He thought about Li Jing and Xu Maogong's report, and the other party could still fight with Yang He, and he knew it in his heart.

This is probably a thin fate, and I met a nemesis, no way.

Yang He is so.

The same is probably true for golden eagles.

But he was also curious about how Li Hongru killed the golden eagle soaring in the sky.
