Chapter 261: Su Lie's Merits and Demerits
Imperial Palace Xuanwu Hall.
This is an important place to reward military merits.
Even Li Hongru's heart took a long and deep breath that night.
This is not just as simple as accepting the reward, it may involve the crown prince and Wang Fuchou, or it may involve the Jianghu Division.
And that's particularly important.
There is a demon mirror in the palace.
was trained by the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and got the residual demonic energy around his body, and his body had some of the characteristics of the demon body, which couldn't help but make Li Hongru a little worried.
At this time, he could only see if the "Pulse Sutra", which had cultivated to 53%, could cover himself.
After demonstrating several times, he gathered the demonic qi into the empty nest in his body, and sensed that there was no demonic qi overflowing in his body.
With the help of natural adaptability brought by "Hug Puzi", Li Hongru reluctantly settled down.
It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that he had breakfast and called the carriage.
At the noon gate of the palace, hundreds of officials had already entered, and at this time, there were many young generals and literati with extraordinary postures gathered outside the noon gate, and there were hundreds of people.
This is the one who distinguished himself in the great victory against the Khanate.
Li Hongru saw Su Lie and others marching on Dingxiang Road, and also saw Zhou Feiwei and others on Tongmo Road.
The military achievements of the two are not low, and they both stand in the forefront of the position.
The standing position of everyone at this time is quite a bit of a competition between states and counties, and there is also a comparison of merit rankings, that is, the standing position is exquisite.
Looking at the crowd, Li Hongru didn't want to go to the front to say hello.
He hung behind him, looking at people from time to time, and after noon from time to time.
Li Hongru was really afraid that he would get into the palace, and a mirror in the sky would shine down, and then he would tremble and appear there.
In general, they are demonized adults.
When the demon is cultivating, he doesn't know what kind of person he will turn into.
And Li Hongru is a reverse process, refined by the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", he feels that he is a human turned into a demon.
He didn't know what the demon he had turned into looked like.
Maybe his body will have some of the characteristics of the iron-eating demon beast, or his demon power is weak, and he will die when he is illuminated by the demon mirror.
At this time, he held his breath, breathed for a long time, and the demonic power in his body gathered in the empty nest.
Whenever there is any subtle demonic power generated in his body, he will quickly draw it over.
And Confucianism is heroic and upright, the power of qi and blood, and even the golden light of Buddhism is pressed into flesh and blood.
As if there is a needle hidden in the flesh and blood, Li Hongru can only do this.
He had to try more or less, and if he wanted to rely on the imperial court, he couldn't even dare to come to the palace.
Li Hongru shook his head behind him, and then he heard a few shouts in front of him.
"Little Brother Hongru, come here!"
"Brother Hongru, come on!"
I don't know why, Su Lie and Zhou Feiwei looked back and saw the rear.
Dingxiangdao is the first strike group, and Tongmodao is the second strike group, and the two have their own abilities, but their combat exploits are up and down.
Su Lie undoubtedly took the lion's head, far in front of everyone.
This made the people who were in the desert a little unconvinced.
There are some small targets for each other.
"You actually call Brother Hongru a little brother?" Zhou Feiwei was surprised.
"He is a member of my iron general group, of course I am called junior brother!"
Su Lie smiled, and suddenly realized that he had finally gained the upper hand.
"If it weren't for us borrowing treasures and borrowing people from the Desert Dao, how could you have won so completely, so that we didn't even have to drink the soup later," Zhou Feiwei said in a muffled voice.
He was telling the truth.
Wen Wu is the first and Wu is the second, and Su Lie's original bit of comparison quickly fell.
If Dingxiangdao didn't borrow the treasure mirror, and Li Hongru was added, it would be difficult for the record to be so brilliant.
Their assault will require a bit of luck, and Li Jing's army may come a little slower, and the casualties will be difficult to count.
Second, if Li Hongru and Yang He are lacking in fighting methods, it will be difficult to kill Yang He.
"Okay, okay, we owe you a favor from Dingxiangdao, if you don't compare, you won't compare!"
Su Lie muttered, which immediately relieved many of the surrounding generals.
After these two military regions, there are Heng'an Road, Changwu Road, Jinhe Road, and Datong Road.
Except for the regiments of the Great Fellow Dao, who are going deep into the desert and are capturing the Qiang, it is difficult for other military regions to compare with the contributions of these two military regions.
Comparing goods has to be thrown, and people have to die more than people.
The comparison of military achievements is even more embarrassing.
At this time, it is best for everyone to be in harmony.
After all, there may be an opportunity to work together at any time.
Li Hongru was called forward, and was immediately slapped by the two to signal intimacy, attracting some young generals to watch again and again.
"Don't be so heavy!"
was slapped by Su Lie and Zhou Feiwei on the left and right, Li Hongru felt that he couldn't stand it.
The two were full of harmony, but they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the comparison now, and their hands became heavier and heavier, and there was a crackling sound on his body.
Li Hongru felt that he had at least several large handprints on his back.
"Huh!"
"Haha!"
Zhou Feiwei and Su Lie withdrew their hands in embarrassment, and when a long message came from the palace, everyone's faces suddenly turned grim, and they all stopped their mouths.
The side door of the noon door in front of it suddenly opened.
The crowd of people immediately walked quickly.
There are guards in the palace to lead the way, and the speed of running is neither fast nor slow, so that the generals can easily keep up, and the literati do not pant when they run.
Nearly ten minutes later, everyone had entered a palace in the palace.
Li Hongru just raised his head slightly, and saw the three big characters of Xuanwu Palace.
He also fell into his mind at this time.
The mirror didn't fly out to shoot him.
Everything is safe.
The first hurdle has finally passed.
"Xuan! Your Majesty has a decree to recruit all meritorious people into the Xuanwu Palace! ”
After a minute or two, a general wearing gold armor suddenly stepped out of the hall and read it out.
A group of people immediately lined up to enter the temple in turn.
The Xuanwu Hall is extremely wide, enough to accommodate three or four hundred people.
After everyone entered, they stood in turn, and the place still seemed a little empty.
Directly in front, the Tang Emperor and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, whom Li Hongru had seen once, sat down together.
On both sides, many generals and civilian officials stood in two rows.
"Your Majesty is blessed!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Meet the Emperor!"
……
Entering the Xuanwu Palace, a group of people immediately shouted, and all kinds of noises came out one after another, mixed with the dialects of some places.
"Excuse me!"
There are no more people with one person, and it is really difficult to let the people who have gathered from the south and the north of the sea these days speak out in unison.
Emperor Tang didn't care about these politenesses.
After listening to the mixed salutes, he immediately raised his hand and made a gesture.
There were as many as 100 people who met and rewarded him this time, and the reward was not read out by the Tang Emperor.
Among the many people, Su Lie took the lead, and the iron general's battalion was in the elite regiment of the Khanate at the beginning of Dingxiang Road, and he won a great victory at the Yinshan station.
The first to be read out was also Su Lie's exploits and awards.
“…… Awarded Su Lie Zuowu Hou Zhonglang General! ”
"Thank you for your majesty's gift, the minister Su Lie will be loyal to the country for life!"
Among them, Su Lie stepped out and immediately thanked him.
"Excuse me!"
Emperor Tang stretched out his hand, and an attendant suddenly walked out with a feather crown and an official robe.
"Your Majesty, the old minister Xiao Yu has a performance!"
Su Lie got up and was about to stretch out his hand, when he saw a member of the civil official group stand up.
"What do you have to say?" Tang Huang asked with a smile.
"The minister played Su Lie, although this person's military merits are thick, but he is rampant, and his heart is good at plundering, and the arson plundered the tooth tent of the Khanate, resulting in devastating damage to many authentic inheritances, and even many of my Tang Dynasty's treasures are still missing."
"Su Lie has great merit, but Su Lie also has a great fault, the old minister thinks that the reward is too high, if everyone follows Su Lie's behavior, wouldn't my Datang be like that mountain bandit and thief."
"Li Jing, the second minister of the military department, Su Lie is a general under Li Jing, and it belongs to Li Jing who has no way to govern the army if he commits such a mistake, and the old minister asks the judicial department to review Li Jing."
The one who started the chapter was a literati veteran.
Ranked above the court, he can stand up at any time to participate in the government, which is a position that only top-level civil officials can have.
He is over fifty years old, with a good mouth, eyes, nose and heart, but he speaks very provocatively.
Obviously, when it was a great reward, he jumped out.
Among them, there was no shortage of fierce attacks on Su Lie, and it also involved Li Jing, the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march, which was the final spearhead of the other party.
As the commander and the greatest contributor to this battle, Li Hongru did not expect Li Jing to eat such a piece.
