Song Li said that these words were indeed sincere. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He's not wood. As a nobleman, he naturally has to think about the country. It's just that some people stand up and are willing to contribute generously to the country, and Song Li has to support them more or less on the surface. It's just that Yang Tianhong's decision really shocked Song Li, and then he felt sincere admiration.

Meng Qi smiled, got up from the chair, bent down at Song Li, and said, "The above is what my son-in-law said personally, and I ask Master Hou to bother more." My son-in-law said that this forging pill is a pair. There is one left, and when he leads the army back to the court, he will go to the Hou Ye's mansion and offer it with both hands. ”

......

Diligent Palace.

Looking at the group of ministers standing in front of him, Emperor Shunming had no expression on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest joy, anger or sorrow.

Dai Gongcheng, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, had a solemn face and painstakingly persuaded: "Your Majesty, in the battle of southern Xinjiang, our dynasty will win a big victory." However, it is really inappropriate to canonize Yang Tianhong as a marquis. The minister thinks that meritorious service must be rewarded, but the reward cannot be too generous. If every battle is rewarded, the court will let the warriors sit big. Over time, I am afraid that he will become arrogant and difficult to contain. ”

Emperor Shunming raised his left hand, pressed his faintly aching temple hard, and asked in a heavy tone: "Can't you be a marquis?

Mei Shengsheng, the servant of the ministry, stepped forward and said: "The ministers have discussed, Yang Tianhong should be rewarded as an earl this time. If you make a great contribution next time, it's not too late to make a marquis. ”

Emperor Shunming asked noncommittally: "Then, what about the food yi?"

Li Shengjie, the head of the household department, bowed down and said, "Five hundred households immediately." The victory of Pingnan Dingman was not the founding battle. Our court has already made a decree to increase the number of food estates, one is to violate the system, and the other is to reduce the income of the imperial court. The ministers thought about it and rewarded up to 500 households. Absolutely no increase. ”

Dongfang Kong, the chief attendant, stood on the side of the dragon chair, bowed his head, and silently stared at the ground under his feet. The light coming in from the window dragged his figure for a long time, blocking out a trace of anger in the depths of his eyes.

The decree to reward Yang Tianhong has been prepared. According to Emperor Shunming's meaning, Yang Tianhong made great contributions to this battle. can be re-sealed and brave, and there are 5,000 households.

In the last resignation, Emperor Shunming always felt that he owed a lot to Yang Tianhong. Of course, the Lord of Yiyong must be slightly higher, and the five thousand households have not violated the regulations. It's just that the holy decree has not yet been written, and a group of ministers led by Li Shengjie, the head of the household department, are asking to see him outside. When he entered the Qinzheng Palace, he asked Emperor Shunming to reduce his reward for Yang Tianhong.

The reason is also sufficient: it is natural for a military general to kill the enemy. If every reward is so generous, then it will be so great. How do I get a reward?

Emperor Shunming casually took out a book from the fold on the table, threw it at the feet of Dai Gongcheng, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and said lightly: "Zhou Lingjie, the Tongzhi of Luding Mansion, is your protégé, right? This is the fold he handed over last month, claiming to have exterminated more than 500 thieves in Luding Mansion. Tell me, how do you get a reward?"

"And. ”

Emperor Shunming took out another copy of the recital, put it flat on the table, and looked at Li Shengjie, the head of the household department: "Your nephew Li Gang is in the position of capital in the Guanghua Army in the north. This month, the Guanghua army engaged Rong Di and beheaded fifty levels. Guanghuajun's side invited him to be an earl. I don't understand. Is Rong Di's head much more valuable than the Yue Man? Fifty of them is comparable to 100,000 Yue heads?"

Li Shengjie did not respond. He accentuated his tone: "How to calculate the Guanghua Army's combat exploits is a matter of marching knowledge. If the invitation is heavy, His Majesty will veto it. However, Yang Tianhong's contribution to this seal cannot be too heavy, even if he is a marquis, it is absolutely impossible to give 5,000 households. ”

In the shadows that no one saw, Dongfang Kong's eyes released a cold light of disdain.

This is the case with Wenchen. As soon as the matter involves itself, it will immediately give in. Previously, one by one shouted that Yang Tianhong must not be crowned. Now that the two books were thrown out, they suddenly changed their words, but they still firmly grasped the problem of food and did not let go.

Emperor Shunming looked at the ministers sitting down with a smile: "I intend to reward Zhou Lingjie, the fellow governor of Luding Mansion, with food." There is also Li Gang, the capital of the Guanghua Army. These two people have made war exploits, and they are not rewarded or rewarded, but they can't be justified. After all, the border between China and the DPRK is in a state of distress and we need qualified personnel. ”

Dai Gongcheng and Li Shengjie looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty, no." ”

What are you kidding, 300 bandit heads, 50 Rong Di heads will be rewarded with 3,000 food yips...... This is obviously roasting Zhou Lingjie and Li Gang on the fire. In this way, Yang Tianhong's reward has become logical. This is definitely not the result that Dai Gongcheng and Li Shengjie are willing to see.

"Enough, do you think I'm the furnishings of the court?"

Suddenly, Emperor Shunming burst out with a roar: "Behead 100,000 levels and save the people of a state, such a great achievement, in your opinion, even the feudal marquis is not enough." Don't think I don't know what you're going through in private. All the abacus is very fine. The matter was so decided, Yang Tianhong was named Yi Yong, and there were 5,000 households in the city. Oriental space, now to the purpose. ”

Li Shengjie raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise and urgency: "Your Majesty, no." This matter must not be rushed, and we need to discuss it with all the ministers and ministers tomorrow morning before making a final decision?"

"Conclusive?"

Emperor Shunming said indifferently: "If this matter is handed over to you, even if it is discussed for several months, it will not come to a conclusion." ”

Mei Shengsheng, the servant of the ministry, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, such a reward is too much. Even if Yang Tianhong's achievements in this battle are rich enough, the maximum number of food towns is 500 households, where can 5,000 households be rewarded?"

Emperor Shunming glanced at the minister standing in front of him, and said coldly, "Is it? Dongfang Kong, in the holy decree specially noted: Yang Tianhong fiefdom is under the rule of Anzhou, and the Xuanhuo Army is changed to Anzhou garrison. In addition, Yang Tianhong was crowned as the envoy of the Anzhou Festival, and he took office on the same day. ”

Li Shengjie was a little stunned.

He stood there for a moment, subconsciously turned his head, looked at Mei Shengsheng and Dai Gongcheng who were standing next to him, and found that the other party's eyes were also full of surprise.

Anzhou Festival Envoy?

The festival envoy is the real local master. All matters of military affairs and government affairs are under the control of the Jiedu envoys. Under this, although there is also the position of the assassin, but in the state capital where the Jiedu envoy is appointed, the assassin history will become dispensable, and even all the power will be occupied by the Jiedu envoy.

In the history of the Chu State, there have been dozens of envoys to the festival. However, these knots made the army self-respecting. The imperial court also relieved them of military power one by one. It is no exaggeration to say that throughout the history of Great Chu, all those who were awarded the title of envoy were first favored by the emperor, and then gradually fell out of favor and became suspicious. Finally, cut power. Either he fell from the high clouds and became a lonely man, or he was killed on the charge of rebellion. In short, the Jiedu envoy can indeed take over the local power, but the result is a tragedy.

If Yang Tianhong was awarded the post of envoy of the festival, Li Shengjie and other ministers would only think that Emperor Shunming had lost his mind.

However, the Anju Festival is completely different.

The number of Anzhou people is scarce, not even a million. Looking at Dachu, under the rule of any state capital, the number of people far exceeds that of Anzhou.

The Yue people enter the prison every year. Anju is a real war-torn place. Fighting was frequent, even surpassing the Northland. Anyone who works in Antario will feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

Anju is a piece of chicken ribs, which is a matter recognized by the ministers of the DPRK and China. With the current military strength of the Chu State, it is impossible to run Anzhou at all, and the household department has no extra money and food to support it. The best way is to evacuate all the officials and people of Anzhou to Suizhou. Seal the Rock Pass.

Li Shengjie suddenly understood, in the will of Emperor Shunming. It doesn't matter if Yang Tianhong is awarded the title of Yi Yong, and the 5,000 households are not the point. His Majesty is also concerned about the excessive power in the hands of military generals. It's just that if the reward is less, the generals below will look cold. If the food and the jurisdiction are transferred to the boundary of Anzhou, then everything will become logical. Don't worry.

Thinking of this, Li Shengjie had no resistance in his heart. He bowed solemnly: "Obey Your Majesty's will." Yang Tianhong is brave and martial, and he is indeed the best candidate for the Anzhou Festival. ”

Emperor Shunming let out a cold snort from his nostrils: "Then tomorrow's court meeting, do you still have to discuss this matter?"

Dai Gongcheng, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, said: "This matter is based on His Majesty's decision. In the meantime, the military department and the official department are meaningless. Ministers will not object. ”

Now that the matter has been decided, there is no need for Li Shengjie and the others to continue to stay in the Qinzheng Palace. After a while, a group of people withdrew from the hall one after another, leaving only Emperor Shunming and Dongfang Kong.

Looking at the empty room, Emperor Shunming only felt tired. He closed his eyes, slowly kneaded the middle of the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and said sullenly: "Am I too cold? But if you don't, you won't be able to account for it. Even if the edict was issued, it would not be recognized by the six ministries. ”

Dongfang Kong picked up the pen and persuaded with a smile: "Yang Tianhong is a reasonable person, and he will definitely understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts." Speaking of which, this trick is to retreat into advance, and it is also a clever trick that Princess Jing'an came up with. No matter what, Yang Tianhong got the position of Yi Yong, and there was no discount for 5,000 households. Based on this precedent, in the future, officers and soldiers will also be rewarded for killing the enemy, and it will definitely not be said that it is unfair rewards and punishments by the imperial court. ”

Emperor Shunming still couldn't be happy: "Having said that, it's still a bit too much to make him the envoy of the Anzhou Festival." In that place, those Yue barbarians...... Alas!"

Dongfang Kong put down the pen in his hand, turned around, bowed to Emperor Shunming, and said, "The old slave doesn't see it that way. ”

Emperor Shunming raised his head, a little surprised: "Oh?"

Dongfang Kongdao: "Yang Tianhong became famous in one battle and beheaded 100,000 people." It's not just one person who can do it. The Yue people are not clay sculptures and wood carvings, and they will not honestly stand there and let the sword slash and kill. Cao Hui, the assassin of the assassin, wrote clearly in the newspaper that the Xuanhuo Army only had 10,000 in total, and the Ruifeng Battalion and the Iron Armor Battalion did not arrive until after the war. The individual generals have an immediate opinion. Since Yang Tianhong won this time, he should also have corresponding moves for the Yue people. In short, the old slave felt that this Anzhou Festival envoy was probably only something that Yang Tianhong could do. If it is someone else, I am afraid that this time next year, the head will be cut off by the Yue barbarians. ”

......

Guiyuan Sect, Lingshui Temple.

When Zhang Xuanru walked out of the inner hall, she saw her master Liu Xuebing, who was already waiting outside, and a few colleagues who were usually close.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuanru knelt down heavily in front of the hall master Liu Xuebing with great excitement, with tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, and trembled: "Master...... Disciple...... The disciple finally succeeded. ”

Liu Xuebing and several disciples behind him were also so excited that they couldn't control themselves. She clenched her fists hard, and quickly opened her ten fingers, helping Zhang Xuanru, who was kneeling on the ground and crying silently, to help up, slowly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and showing a satisfied smile on her face.

For Qi refining cultivators, foundation building is the tallest obstacle on the path of cultivation. The most difficult threshold. I don't know how many people have been blocked out by the word "building the foundation" and will not be allowed to enter for life. Only when you have truly crossed the level of foundation building can you step into the path to the Heavenly Dao.

Even Liu Xuebing didn't expect that Zhang Xuanru would become a Great Consummation of Qi Refining in such a short period of time. In just two days, the foundation has been successfully laid.

The process is not complicated to say, and it is truly surprising. It's still Zhang Xuanru's age.

She's just too young. Liu Xuebing remembered that when he was the same age, his cultivation was only the eighth layer of qi refining.

Zhang Xuanru is just an ordinary qualification. This point has been repeatedly confirmed by Sect Master Zhong Yuanyu and the elders.

Spiritual roots are very microseconds. It may appear in a one-year-old child, or it may be buried too deep in the body to show up at the age of ninety-nine. The so-called "old man is wise" refers to the spiritual root. It's just that age is unforgiving, and I'm old. It's half buried, and then it's smart, and there's a fart?

Perhaps, Zhang Xuanru will show her spiritual roots at some point in the future. But if the spiritual root appears too late, it will have no effect on the monks.

If Zhang Xuanru hadn't made meritorious achievements in the Spring Day Contest and hadn't received a large number of pills from the sect, it would have been impossible for her to cultivate by leaps and bounds, let alone succeed in building a foundation at this time.

Wang Yanfeng was out of the customs half a month ago. He is also a successful foundation. is older than Zhang Xuanru. But no matter what, Wang Yanfeng's success. Still causing a stir up and down the Temple of Fire.

Many people remember that a few years ago, during the Spring Competition, Wang Yanfeng and Zhang Xuanru, the hard-working mandarin ducks, discussed to escape. If you turn your back on your master at that time, you won't be able to talk about the success of building a foundation and becoming a monk who is in the limelight now.

No matter what sect, every monk has succeeded in building a foundation. These are all major events worth celebrating. This means that the strength of the sect has been improved, and the number of monks who can stand up to defend the interests of the sect is also one more than before.

With envious eyes, the brothers congratulated Zhang Xuanru one after another. Zhang Xuanru also returned the gift one by one. It is an essential process. Of course. There will definitely be people who are jealous, and this is also a stimulus and motivation in disguise. Seeing others succeed, I will also have a strong competitive mentality, and I want to reach the corresponding height.

The congratulatory crowd gradually dispersed, and Zhang Xuanru followed Liu Xuebing into the secret room of the Lingshui Palace.

Casually released two layers of prohibitions, Liu Xuebing sat down on the seat of the hall master, but felt that his heart was excited and difficult to calm down, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room.

"Your success in building the foundation today is a great event for my return to the Yuan Sect. ”

Zhang Xuanru was taken aback by the master's words: "Master, what do you mean by this? The disciple is just a foundation building monk, how can he afford this?"

"Hehe, of course. ”

Liu Xuebing walked up to Zhang Xuanru and said seriously: "Others can't see it, how can you not know your realm as a teacher? You not only succeeded in building the foundation this time, but also jumped into the second level of the foundation building realm. This kind of vision, as a teacher, has only been seen in the sect master. ”

Zhang Xuanru nodded honestly. This is indeed an accident of her foundation building. Under normal circumstances, after the foundation is successfully built, the realm is at most the first order of the first order, and it is very rare to reach the second level standard like yourself. This also means that in the future cultivation path, he will take fewer detours than ordinary foundation building cultivators, and he will surpass ordinary people in both understanding and realm.

Liu Xuebing's face was full of smiles: "Taking the Yuan Qi Pill in advance really helps your cultivation a lot." It is said that **************, you must not forget who gave you all this today. ”

Zhang Xuanru's expression was solemn: "The disciple would rather die than forget the kindness of Yang Tianhong's junior brother." If it weren't for Senior Brother Yang, Xuanru would have become a wasted person long ago. My disciple swore that the grace given to me by Senior Brother Yang will never be forgotten and will be rewarded. ”

"That's right. ”

Liu Xuebing bowed her head slightly, and sighed: "Speaking of which, being a teacher has also received a lot of grace from Yang Tianhong. I just don't know how to give back to him. ”

Zhang Xuanru was a little surprised, but she didn't want to ask, she just looked at her master in confusion.

Liu Xuebing didn't say a word, Pingping stretched out his right hand and used the spiritual energy in his body. Suddenly, a ball of silver-white light the size of a ping-pong ball rose from the palm of his hand. With the palm as the core, an incomparably violent air flow suddenly rolled up in the secret room. This energy revolved around the white ball of light at high speed, and after a few seconds, it had been firmly suppressed by Liu Xuebing with a powerful cultivation, forming a slowly moving band of light around the light cluster. At first glance, it looks like a miniature star with a halo.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanru couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her left hand involuntarily covered her lips, and her eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

This is the unique move of Liu Xuebing, the master of the Spirit Water Palace. The silver-white light cluster in the palm of his hand was extremely powerful, comparable to a top-quality flying sword. If it is released with all its might, even the Yuanying Monk will be seriously injured. However, this trick requires a lot of psionic energy to be used, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a final life-saving trick. Two years ago, Zhang Xuanru once watched Liu Xuebing practice. At that time, the master still felt that it was difficult to perform it, and he had to exhaust most of the true elements in his body. After that, you should meditate cross-legged immediately and take the pill continuously until you recover after a few hours. (To be continued.) )
