In front of the Tai'an Palace, the red is a piece, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the officials above the fifth grade use the red court clothes, and the blue court clothes are used below the five grades, to distinguish the height of an official, in addition to the color, just look at the patterns of the birds and beasts drawn on the court clothes, as well as the gems inlaid on the official hats.

Li Zhengyan was dressed in a red court robe, and his official hat was larger than his head circumference, because it was bigger, and he could accommodate the silver mask underneath.

At first, when this silver mask appeared, there was a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition, and even a person who didn't dare to show his true face could be worthy of the battle?

But what happened later......

The right prime minister, Shen Tianyun, saw Li Zhengyan with a mask from a distance, he was already a second-class official at a young age, even Shen Tianyun was admired, he pushed a group of officials, and his spirit was impressive, "General Li, it's been a long time since I went on this expedition, General Li is the first merit." ”

Qin Xuning walked beside Li Zhengyan and held back a smile, he took Li Zhengyan and whispered: "Our prime minister has begun to stammer you, I still remember the words before leaving." ”

Li Zhengyan seemed to laugh invisibly, "What did you say before I left?" ”

Qin Xuning snorted, "I remember what I really wanted to say was, don't be in a hurry to come back when you leave, I will burn all the Jin Ge armor to you without stinginess?" ”

"I won't worry about you about this, I'll entrust you with something later." Li Zhengyan stepped forward and saluted, "Prime Minister Shen." ”

Qin Xuning was a close friend of Li Zhengyan's scientific expedition in the same year, hearing this, Qin Xuning couldn't help but tremble, and muttered: "I'd rather you and me take care of it." ”

The ghost knows what disgusting things Li Zhengyan will ask him to do.

Shen Tianyun heard about the marriage, greeted him twice, and said: "Congratulations to General Li for his triumphant return, his future is limitless, our old bones, are not as sharp as you." ”

"Zheng Yan is just a military general, and the prime minister is really joking." Li Zhengyan's voice was cold, and when it came to the scene, he was not taken away by Shen Tianyun's words.

He Wanqing's little apprentice, He Cheng, shook off the dust in his hand, his eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he bent down and said respectfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go to court." ”

"General Li is the first person to make the contribution, and we should let General Li go first." Shen Tianyun laughed heartily, and all the officials echoed it, only saying yes, General Li should be allowed to go first.

Above the court, it has never been a place to be more modest, the corners of Li Zhengyan's lips were slightly hooked, and his cold voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and the prime minister should be invited first." ”

Shen Tianyun looked around, without the slightest sense of shame, and stepped out with one foot first, "In this way, it will be up to the official to take the first step." ”

A group of officials surrounded Li Zhengyan and followed Shen Tianyun's footsteps, and Li Zhengyan's surroundings were vacant, Qin Xuning followed and asked, "Do you really want to give you a marriage?" ”

The corners of Li Zhengyan's mouth twitched, and he entered with no clear meaning.

Not long after the officials stood still, the crown prince and the prince also came in, and the officials exchanged greetings again, only to hear He Wanqing's loud voice shouting with strong penetrating power, "The emperor has arrived." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the officials and the prince knelt on the ground.

Li Ji's face couldn't see the emotion, only from the corners of his mouth, he should be happy, and the voice that was not light or heavy floated down from above, and Li Ji said slowly: "Everyone, Aiqing, please get up." ”

He Wanqing waited for the group to get up before shouting: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

The first book, when there is Li Zhengyan out, Li Zhengyan from the hundred officials, in his hand is a peace document, he holds it in both hands, and the loud voice resounded through the Tai'an Palace, "The minister Li Zhengyan has a book, the battle of Tugu, the Li family army swore to resist, and finally reached a peace agreement with the Tugu Khan Gegro, and the Tugu Khan Gegro was willing to sign a peace document with the Great Zhou, and there will never be a battle in the northwest frontier." ”

"Bring it in." Li Ji was in a hurry, He Wanqing trotted down and submitted the peace document, Li Ji clearly saw that in this peace document, it was written that Li Zhengyan would never go to war with Da Zhou in one day!

"Good! General Li is not a loss, he is a General Li! It's the blessing of my Great Zhou! Blessings to the people! Li Ji laughed, and the negotiation and document were pinched in his hand like a treasure, "Pass the order, the Li family's army, and the generals will each be promoted to a grade, and those who have merit and no merit will be presented by General Li, and I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" The rest of the soldiers will each have a reward, General Li, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, 20 pieces of silk, and 20 pieces of treasures and antiques! ”

"Your Majesty." Li Zhengyan knelt down, and before he could stand up, Shen Tianyun had already glanced at the official department.

The official secretary immediately came out of the ranks, with a little embarrassment in his joy, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

Li Ji's face was dark, and before Li Zhengyan could stand up, the secretary came out first, and Li Ji said coldly: "Aiqing has something to do." ”

Li Zhengyan quietly went into the list first, and the official said: "General Li's victory is really a celebration of the country, but the emperor has rewarded him, and the ministers have this to play." ”

"Aiqing, please speak." Li Ji was quite impatient.

The official department Shangshu saluted and said: "Li general officer is a second-grade general, and the generalissimo above the second grade can lead the world's soldiers and horses, since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the first-class generalissimo can only be crowned when the world is turbulent and needs to level the world, and after the flattening, the generalissimo will return to the general, and now the country is peaceful and peaceful, and General Li is the generalissimo again, it is really ...... There is no precedent for this. ”

As soon as these words came out, many officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites came out one after another, sighing: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is really no precedent for this move, please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

Li Ji's face was dark, and his calm face seemed to be boiling with anger, and then when it came, Li Ji actually laughed, and the officials were stunned, what does the emperor mean by this?

Li Ji smiled and said: "It's my mistake, Fang Cai, I didn't add General Li, General Li's reward in addition to gold and silver treasures, I have my own ideas, as for what it is, in a few days, I will announce it." ”

The official Shangshu bowed deeply and said: "The emperor is wise and martial, we admire him." ”

Li Ji said again: "The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, each choose a few people to come up, and after submitting the list, I will select four people to go to Tugu to sign the peace document." Ministry of Rites, choose some good gifts, don't look stingy, send to Tugu. ”

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites made a list and said: "The ministers obey the order." The minister has this to play, and Lou Yue sent a fast horse, saying that the little princess misses her aunt and wants to come to Kyoto for a safari. ”

Li Ji nodded, but his eyes were thrown to the prince Li Lilin, "Prince, the little princess is also your cousin, you have to take good care of it." ”

The crown prince smiled slightly, "What did the father say, the queen mother said, then the princess's cousin, I want to see the husband chosen by my aunt." ”
