With Li Zhi's "decree", a eunuch walked out, unfolded the decree in his hand, and read the decree in his slightly harsh voice: "Edict: the righteousness of the prince..."

In the holy decree, all the officers and soldiers of the Dingxiangdao Marching Department led by Pei Xingjian were praised for their exploits in this counterinsurgency campaign, especially the merits of Pei Xingjian, Liu Yi, and Cheng Wuting were described with more pen and ink, and Liu Yi, a young rising star in the army, was even called "Wei Huo's talent", which made Liu Yi really ashamed, and after these gorgeous words, it was the reward of the generals: "... Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the prince of Puyang County, plus 200 households in the food town, 20 catties of gold, and 2,000 horses of silk..."

"Liu Yixing, the general of the left Qianniuwei of the inspection school, and the general of the left Qianniuwei, and the general of the right Yulin army of the inspection school, the prince of Wuyang County, 300 households of food, ten catties of gold, and 1,000 horses of silk..."

"Cheng Wuting, the general of the Zuo Yulin Army of the inspection school, is the general of the right guard, and concurrently leads the post of the general of the left Yulin of the inspection school, and he is the prince of the plain county, with 500 households, ten catties of gold, and 1,000 horses of silk..."

"Wu Sansi, the general of the right guard, is the general of the right guard, and he will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold and five hundred horses of silk..."

Liu Yi also heard that his two lieutenant generals, Zhang Qianmiao and Yang Yuanyan, were both promoted, Zhang Qianmiao was the general of the right military guard of the inspection school, Yang Yuanyan was the general of the right leading army of the inspection school, and Jing Hui and Huan Yanfan were appointed to the post of the general of the right guard Zhonglang.

After the rewards of these generals who returned to the dynasty were completed, it was announced that the rewards of those generals who stayed in Anbei, Cao Huaishun and other generals had new positions, and this time the rewards were only rewards for titles, food and money.

These generals who stayed in Anbei were also rewarded according to the size of the battle exploits on the battle report presented by Pei Xingjian, and the difference in rewards was not too big, but in general, it was not bad.

Liu Yi is still quite satisfied with the rewards of himself and his generals, but he is still a little unhappy with the not very high reward that Pei Xingjian received, Pei Xingjian led the army to quell the rebellion of the Turks this time, and still has no chance to enter the phase, only the secretary of the ministry, although the title is the county duke, although it cannot be considered low, but Cheng Wuting was awarded the county duke for his exploits in this battle, and he was the same as Pei Xingjian. If you talk about military achievements, Pei Xingjian is far greater than Cheng Wuting, in a war, the role played by the general is too different, no matter what, Cheng Wuting is a general under Pei Xingjian, and he is only a sub-general when he fights, and his military exploits cannot be compared with the general manager as the commander, but it is not fully reflected in this reward.

Even did not participate in a battle, but only led the army to meet Liu Yi's Wu Sansi, and was also promoted, which really made Liu Yi a little angry.

However, Liu Yi also knows that the reward of the generals, to a certain extent, is also the result of the competition between the forces of the DPRK and China, and no one dares to raise objections to such a reward for the generals, at least the heaviest rewards will not have objections.

Liu Yi also thought of some of the words that Pei Xingjian said to himself on the way back to Beijing. Pei Xingjian may not have expected such a scene at the court meeting, and Pei Xingjian did not mention that Pei Yan would attack him again at the court meeting, but the result of the reward was not unexpected by Pei Xingjian. When Liu Yi also said to Pei Xingjian that after returning to Beijing this time, the imperial court would definitely worship Pei Xingjian as his prime minister, but Pei Xingjian shook his head at that time and told Liu Yi that such a situation was basically impossible, and he had no such extravagant hopes. The current situation really proves that Pei Xingjian's prediction is still relatively correct, and Pei Xingjian also expected some trivial things. Since Pei Xingjian has already considered such a result, he must not be surprised by today's reward, which is good, lest his mentor feel lost.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi also eased his mood a little.

After the eunuch read out the holy decree of the reward, Pei Xingjian and all the other generals who were rewarded by the imperial court stood up and thanked the emperor Li Zhi on the throne.

There was a scene of great joy in the hall, and immediately many ministers stood up and praised the generals who went out again, and the generals stood up and were modest, and the hall, which had just been a little dull because of the battle between Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan, also became relaxed.

Emperor Li Zhi seemed to be very satisfied with such a scene, and happily watched the ministers in the palace perform such a performance, and after letting such a scene be performed for a while, he raised his hand to signal quiet.

After the ministers returned to their respective positions and the Xuanzheng Hall was quiet again, Li Zhi spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important matter to announce at the court meeting today!"

Li Zhi paused for a moment before continuing, and his voice was a little higher: "My daughter, Princess Taiping, is eighteen years old this year, and she has already reached the age of marriage, and I and Niangniang have been choosing a good son-in-law for her, and Taiping has high requirements for her husband... However, I have not been able to find a suitable candidate for the colt, and the marriage has been delayed..."

Li Zhi said, stopped again, and looked at Liu Yi in the train in the palace, and the eyes of the ministers also looked at Liu Yi, Princess Taiping likes Liu Yi, not Liu Yi to marry, this has become an open secret, many people even know that before this expedition, Princess Taiping also sent several names to Liu Yi to serve Liu Yi's daily life, Princess Taiping married Liu Yi, it was a matter of time, now Liu Xianli's three-year filial piety period has passed, Liu Yi's marriage can also be considered, plus this time Liu Yi went out with Pei Xingjian, After making great contributions again, it is logical for the emperor to announce the marriage of Princess Taiping at the court meeting today.

Facing the gaze of the emperor and the courtiers, Liu Yi was slightly cramped, but he still stood upright, waiting for Li Zhi to announce the results.

I only heard Li Zhi continue: "The old official department Shangshu, the general of the left guard, and Liu Xianli, the Duke of Ningguo, fought bravely in the battle against the Tubo people, but unfortunately died, and his youngest son Liu Yi was intelligent and agile, brave and brave, whether it was in the court and political suggestions, or when leading the army to go on the expedition, he was quite successful, and his proposed policy for Hu Di won the appreciation of me and the queen mother. He led the army to the expedition several times, and all of them made great achievements, so that the generals were convinced, and all the ministers of the court and the central government praised him, so I announced today that I would marry the princess Taiping to General Zuo Qianniuwei, General Yulin Jun of the right of the inspection school, and Liu Yi, the prince of Wuyang County..."

"Liu Yi took the order..."Li Zhi shouted.

Liu Yi, who heard the order, hurriedly walked out of the train under the gaze of other courtiers and the envious gaze of many people, and made a big salute in front of the palace.

A eunuch ran up quickly and read out another holy decree, in which Liu Yi's talent and achievements were greatly praised, along with Liu Yi's grandfather Liu Dewei, father Liu Xianli, mother Zhang, and Liu Yi's two elder brothers Liu Mai and Liu Yuan were all praised in, a large number of words made Liu Yi listen to a little foggy, he was also wondering whether this holy decree was drafted by Shangguan Wan'er, if it was Shangguan Wan'er's masterpiece, then this beauty must be heartbroken when writing the edict, Liu Yi listened with some guilt as the eunuch read out the holy decree, and when he got to the back, Liu Yi heard the recitation of how Princess Taiping knew how to be knowledgeable and courteous, and the emperor and queen must choose a good son-in-law for her, Liu Yi finally heard the result: "... With General Zuo Qianniuwei, General Yulin Jun of the Right Inspector, and Liu Yi, Duke of Wuyang County, as the lieutenant of the horse... and add the Taiping princess's food to eight hundred households..."

Liu Yi hurriedly thanked him for the order.

Immediately, many ministers stood up and congratulated Princess Taiping on marrying Liu Yi, and many people praised that only an outstanding talent like Liu Yi could be worthy of the most honorable Princess Taiping in the Tang Dynasty, Yunyun!

Li Zhi then announced that he would choose to marry Liu Yi and Princess Taiping, and after the marriage was finished, he announced his retirement from the dynasty.

The court meeting can be said to have ended in a happy situation, and Liu Yi, who walked out of the court, was also congratulated by almost all the ministers in the court, Liu Yi had to stand outside the Xuanzheng Hall for a while, accept the congratulations of his colleagues, and return the salute with a smile on his face.

Several officials and generals who were close to Liu Yi, such as Di Renjie, Zhang Qianqiao, Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan, etc., all smiled and called Liu Yi a concubine, and asked Liu Yi to treat him to a big dinner when he was going to get the reward he got today, and of course to get the beauty of Princess Taiping.

Liu Yi also hurriedly agreed, especially Di Renjie, a rookie in the DPRK who had just returned to the DPRK before Liu Yi set out for the expedition, and a figure who stirred up a lot of romance in history, Liu Yi wanted to make the relationship between them a little more iron.

Today, Pei Xingjian did not wait for Liu Yi to go out, Liu Yi walked out after almost all the ministers who participated in the court meeting, but he had just walked a few steps when a eunuch ran over, saying that His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven had been invited.

Liu Yi, who was not at all surprised, immediately followed the eunuch who came to summon him to the harem.

The eunuch led Liu Yi to Penglai Palace, and asked Liu Yi to wait outside the hall, he went in to report, and after a while, the eunuch walked out, followed by a person, Liu Yi looked at it, it was Shangguan Wan'er that he thought about the most during this time.

The eunuch who led the way gave a salute and left, Shangguan Wan'er saluted Liu Yi, without any expression on her face, and her voice was not a little colorful, "Liu Yuma, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are inside, please come in with the lower officials..."

Liu Yi saw that there was no one else on the side, and called affectionately, "Wan'er..."

Shangguan Wan'er also heard the feelings contained in Liu Yi's soft call, and her body was obviously stunned, but she didn't reply, she didn't stop, and still led the way in front.

Entering the inner hall, Shangguan Wan'er stopped and stretched out her hand to Liu Yi to signal: "Liu Yuma, please..."

When Shangguan Wan'er said this, she glanced at Liu Yi, Liu Yi read a helplessness, resentment, and even some hatred in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, Liu Yi said in a voice that only the two of them could hear when she walked past Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, I said that I was waiting for you in the rented place, you must come..."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he didn't look at Shangguan Wan'er, and walked to the palace...
