Kyoto Imperial Palace, Taian Hall.

The five people who stood at the head of the dust, returned yesterday near the evening, the prince went to the study, and after a brief debriefing, the main event was all left in the morning court.

He Wanqing went up to court with a sharp voice, and all the officials, big and small, were waiting for Li Ji.

When the emperor sat on the dragon chair, He Wanqing said: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from." ”

The crown prince held the document in his hand and said: "Father, the son and the retainer successfully signed a peace document with Tugu, and the Great Khan of Gegro promised never to go to war during his reign, and the two sides exchanged trade and exchanged contacts with each other. ”

Li Ji was overjoyed after hearing this, even if he had heard the news yesterday, and listened to it again today, this kind of joy could not be controlled, he said: "Hurry up and submit the proposal and documents!" ”

The prince took two steps forward and presented the peace document with both hands, and He Wanqing took the peace document and presented it to Li Ji.

Li Ji held the peace document in his hand, each of the two countries on this scroll held a copy, the Tugu soldiers were strong and strong, and the Great Zhou had always been an enemy, and the Great Zhou had already been exhausted by the continuous war.

In the center of the peace document, there is a very clear directive, General Li Zhengyan has great favor to the Tugu Khan Gegro, and General Li will never go to war with the Great Zhou for one day.

The corners of Li Ji's lips smiled slightly, this was a rare smile for all ministers, and he was infinitely emotional.

Li Ji said: "The prince has worked hard, and this peace document is an important moment for my Great Zhou. ”

The prince returned to the queue, and his joy was uncontrollable, and this time he also took the first responsibility.

Li Ji said: "This time, thanks to General Li Zhengyan, the last time I rewarded the three armies, I never mentioned the reward for General Li. ”

There was silence below, knowing what Li Ji meant, probably to reward Li Zhengyan.

Li Zhengyan stood in the queue, the emperor was very interested, and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, General Li, his military exploits, and the country have made great contributions, do you Aiqing have any good opinions?" ”

Li Ji swept over a group of ministers, and the crown prince and the right prime minister Shen Tianyun glanced at each other. The queen deliberately wooed Li Zhengyan, but she didn't know what to do, the crown prince glanced at the ministers, and Shen Tianyun smiled.

Liu Yuande, the court doctor, came out and said: "The ministers ask for advice, the general Li has high merits to help the country, and he should be crowned with a promotion, or the king of the county." ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "Ministry of Shangshu, do you have any suggestions?" ”

The official secretary clenched his fists and said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Not only the Ministry of Officials, but also the rest of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, etc., all came out and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Many of the people who seconded the proposal here were friends with Shen Tianyun and Li Yanlin, and this reward seemed reasonable, and this was not really a means for the queen to win over.

Li Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Seal and upgrade, the king of the county...... Good offer. ”

Many ministers whispered softly under their heads, this position is really good. Li Zhengyan has been wearing a mask, and he can't see any emotional waves.

Li Ji glanced at the ministers, the majesty of the king was self-evident, and he said coldly: Zhong Aiqing's proposal is really good, but it's just ...... I have a better proposal in mind. ”

The ministers fell silent for an instant.

Li Ji stared at Li Zhengyan with cold eyes, and said, "General Li stepped forward to listen to the seal." ”

Li Zhengyan lowered his eyes and stepped forward, remained silent, knelt down and said, "Minister, Li Zhengyan listens to the order." ”

Li Ji said majestically: "The general Li Zhengyan, the second grade, Xiangguo meritorious, special ...... Seal the left prime minister, give the prime minister's house, and seal the left prime minister. ”

"Minister......

"Your Majesty!"

Li Zhengyan was about to speak, but was directly interrupted by the officials behind him, and the official secretary knelt down and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty must not, never allow, General Li is a martial artist, how can a martial artist be a civil official, and the minister, as a minister of the ministry, has the responsibility to advise!" ”

"Oh?" Li Ji glared at the official department and said coldly: "There is no one else!" ”

Li Yanlin and Shen Tianyun were stunned for a moment, they never thought that Li Ji would come to such a hand, and they didn't even discuss it with the Sixth Ministry, and directly gave an order!

This Li Zhengyan is the person they want to woo, do you want to advise!

Just as he was thinking, one after another ministers knelt down, and above the court, half of the officials knelt down, "The ministers advise!" ”

Li Ji stared at these kneeling ministers, and then put his eyes on his son, and said: "Prince, right prime minister, King Xiang, King Ning, King Cheng, King Yuan." What about you? ”

The prince didn't know what to do, and he didn't look at Li Zhengyan, he still had the order of the queen mother, and he was at a loss at the moment, the prince suddenly remembered his cousin, and stepped forward and said: "Erchen still has an idea." ”

Li Ji was quite interested and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"Princess Lou Yue is Erchen's cousin, and she has always liked General Li, why don't Erchen be a matchmaker here? The father ordered that General Li and his cousin should be married forever, which is a good story. General Li, life is beautiful. Li Zhengyan looked at Li Zhengyan with a light smile.

Li Yanlin is using Princess Lou Yue to test, if Li Zhengyan intends to become their person, then Lou Xuewei should be taken down.

Li Zhengyan took a step forward and was about to speak, but Li Ji didn't even give him a chance to speak, and said: "Princess Lou Yue's marriage should be proposed by Lou Yue, not my Da Zhou, and we will discuss it later!" ”

This is not even a chance to give Li Zhengyan a chance to express his position.

King Ning Xiangwang stepped forward and said in unison: "Father, the sons feel that their father's reward is just right, the post of Prime Minister Zuo has been empty for five years, General Li is deeply loved by the people, and he should have the ability to deserve the position of Prime Minister Zuo." ”

King Cheng Yuan is *, the prince has not yet spoken, and they do not dare to speak.

"No one else, any comments?" Li Ji threw his eyes on Qin Xuning and Chao Sheng, and said, "The servant of the Ministry of Officials, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." The two of you are important ministers of the Great Zhou, come, let's talk. ”

Qin Xuning and Chao Sheng are both Li Zhengyan's party, the two glanced at each other, Qin Xuning said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that General Li is responsible for the position of Prime Minister of Zuo, and Master Fang Caishang said that General Li is a martial artist, and General Li and Weichen are both people who can enter the examination, and Weichen thinks that his talent is not as good as General Li, and General Li can be civil and martial, and he is the pillar of the country." ”

Chao Sheng said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

Li Zhengyan had already made up his mind, and took the opportunity to say: "The minister was originally a servant of His Majesty!" ”

Li Zhengyan had already thought of today's situation, and discussed with Qin Xuning and Chao Sheng yesterday, and had already thought of all the things in the court today, and even Qin Xuning's words were good with Li Zhengyan in advance.

Li Ji nodded with satisfaction, "Nengwen and Wu, if you are really the pillar of the country, I will give ...... you"

"Your Majesty......" Shen Tianyun interrupted at the right time, and said: "Weichen admonished, General Li has never passed the examination, if he rashly seals the left prime minister, it may be difficult to block the world's secluded mouth." ”

The crown prince said solemnly: "Erchen also thinks that if General Li has no leader, what should he do. In the world, General Li is still needed to defend it. ”
