Chapter 256: Rewarding Officials

Whenever the emperor was enjoying the cool in the Agarwood Pavilion in the summer, he ordered the imperial kitchen to serve a cool and delicious side dish, and he remembered the person who offered this dish. This person was once given by him as the crown prince, but later he didn't expect that when he came to Li Ying's side, he could also shine and offer Li Ying a strange plan to get out of financial difficulties, which made him jealous. Only then did Li Heng operate a little and send him to the Western Regions.

The emperor thought to himself, it is impossible for a person to be excellent in all aspects, and a person who can create his own delicacies will have no worries about food and clothing in this life with this skill alone. It is even more remarkable that he can be as good at wealth as Yu Wenrong. When you go to the Western Regions, you have no specialties to play, so you should be like everyone else. I didn't expect him to stand out again, which was really surprising and gratifying.

As soon as Li Longji thought of this, he carefully read the dozens of small characters related to Li Siye's merits, which read: Fumeng led his troops into Julan, and Siye was captured and returned, and offered advice in the starry night, saying: 'The enemy led the team to cut the grass outside the city, and the heir was willing to summon fifty jumps, annihilate him, and sneak into the city as the internal response. 'The husband is allowed to enter one night, two days of hibernation, three watches burn grass to seize the door, the sound of the hammer resounded through the sky, and the city was broken. The heir has his own wisdom and bravery, and the minister specially invited him to be promoted to Huaihua Lang General.

The deeds are shortly converted into literary texts, but it does not prevent the emperor from completing the plot in his mind, so he was surprised again, he didn't expect this kid to fight hard, and he dared to take only fifty people into the city to seize the door, and let him succeed. Since there is such a merit in breaking the city, the Huaihualang of the fifth grade will be slightly lower. However, at this banquet, mentioning Li Siye will remind people of Li Ying in the past, and the emperor frowned slightly and decided to put this matter behind his back.

Gai Jiayun and Fu Meng Lingcha and the others stared at the sage without blinking, paying attention to the subtle changes in the dragon's face, sometimes the corners of their mouths were slightly upturned as if they were happy, and sometimes they frowned slightly as if they were worried. Could it be that the marching secretary wrote something that should not have been written?

Li Longji folded and closed the paper, handed it to Gao Lishi, and said to Gai Jiayun: "The meritorious deeds of the Anxi generals played by Gai Qing will be approved one by one later." ”

"Regarding the reward appointment of Gai Qing and Fu Meng Lingcha, you two stepped forward to obey the order."

Gai Jiayun and Fu Meng Lingcha hurriedly stood up from the front of the case, walked to the hall and bowed to the ground: "Minister, the last general will be ordered." ”

"Gai Qing's merits are outstanding, he took the town of broken leaves, pacified the civil strife of the Tuqi, sealed the envoys of Hexi and Longyoujie, and gave thousands of brocades and fifty pieces of gold."

"Fumeng Lingcha led the army to take Talas, broke the tagging and built the city, so that the prestige of my Tang Dynasty was all over the Western Regions, and the deputy capital of Anxi was sealed, and the four towns were all known soldiers. and gave him a thousand pieces of brocade and thirty pieces of gold.

"Promote Mohe Dagan to the general of the right Xiaowei, canonize the king of Bakhana, Asiranda as the king of Fenghua, and confer the title of hussar general. Canonized the king of Shi Mo Helu Tutun as the king of Shunyi, and the king of Gabai Shi Si Jinti as the special jin. ”

Gai Jiayun bowed his head again: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Fumeng Lingcha also followed him, but he had a little regret in his heart, Gai Jiayun had become the envoy of the two towns of Hexi and Longyou, but the envoy of Anxi still did not have his turn, maybe it was still lacking in qualifications, or maybe he was not smooth enough to open up some joints as soon as possible?

After Gai Jiayun thanked him, he stood up and offered a speech to the emperor: "The minister asks Your Majesty to canonize Ashina Xin as the ten Turkic Khans, and crown the Yellow surnamed Tuqi Shihe Modagan as the Turkic Shi Khan." ”

Li Longji readily agreed, and the two monarchs and ministers considered going together.

Although Fu Meng Lingcha, who was standing behind Gai Jiayun, felt inappropriate, he did not speak. It's not just that he feels that people are soft-spoken, but also because the Tang Dynasty has a lineage of trust and closeness to the Ashina royal family, since the Zhenguan year Ashina Misha and Ashina Buzhen descended to the Tang Dynasty one after another, the Western Turkic Ashina family has taken over the indissoluble bond with the Li family, which can be called four generations of loyalty. When the Tang Dynasty needed an agent in the Western Regions, the first thing that came to mind was the Ashina family. Even if their influence among the ten Turks is getting worse day by day, and they become Adou who can't be supported, they still can't change their irreplaceable position in the Li family's heart.

Needless to say, Gai Jiayun is needless to say, as a general of the Beiting family, his proximity to the Ashina family is directly proportional to his dislike of Tuqishi, in this environment of the bloodline theory, and the Tang Dynasty's love for the Ashina family, in other words, one is raised by his mother, and the other is the child of other people.

He Modagan dreamed of becoming a Turkic Khan, but in the eyes of the imperial court, he was just a greedy villain.

They each bowed to the saint and returned to their seats.

Gao Lishi presided over every aspect of the banquet, and at this moment stood beside the emperor and waved the dust: "Sacrifice song and dance!" ”

A group of palace ladies dragging long curtains walked into the banquet hall, waving their long sleeves and dancing the palace dance, they all had slender waists, smart movements and dust, and a neat and uniform beauty; Accompanied by the string music played on the side of the hall, people are unconsciously immersed in it.

Gai Jiayun was pleasing to the eye, stretched out his hand to pat the table, shook his head gently, and unconsciously enjoyed himself. Now that he is at the peak of his life, he has surpassed most of the achievements of his life, and it is time to relax himself and enjoy the treatment he deserves.

Li Longji didn't think about it, the six palaces were all vulgar fans, not to mention the light dance palace in front of him. Since the death of Concubine Wu Hui, the emperor has been depressed. The year before last, he sent Gao Lishi to the south of the Yangtze River, looking for a peerless beauty, named Jiang Caiping, and summoned into the palace to give the first product of the imperial concubine, because she was particularly infatuated with plum blossoms, called Concubine Mei. Now the Holy Grace is in full swing. How can the longevity of the twelve people in front of him be compared to one person dancing lightly?

The banquet in the Calyx Tower soon ended, and the emperor left first. The crown prince Li Heng wanted to go forward to congratulate Gai Jiayun, but Li Linfu stood in front of Gai and said a lot of words of encouragement and comfort. As the crown prince, waiting for such a long time would cause people to misunderstand, so he had to lead the eunuch Li Jingzhong next to him to leave depressedly.

Gao Lishi stepped forward, waved the dust and said with a smile: "Gai Zhongcheng, General Fumeng, Your Majesty has a decree to order the two of you to stay in the Agarwood Pavilion for a while." ”

The two of them were overjoyed, thinking that His Majesty would summon them alone, so they thanked Li Linfu and Niu Xianke and rushed to the Agarwood Pavilion by the Dragon Pond.

The door leaves under the pillars of the agarwood pavilion corridor are opened, the breeze on the dragon pond blows here, so that the yarn tent at the four corners of the pavilion floats, Gai Jiayun and Fumeng Lingchamai stone steps go up, walk to the pavilion and look up, the dragon pond water is rippling, and the most beautiful scenery of Xingqing Palace is in full view.

Gai Jiayun was in a heroic mood, stretched out his hand and pointed to the Calyx Xianghui Building in the southeast corner, and said with high interest: "You and I are martial artists, and the highest honor in this life is to give a banquet to the Calyx Building, which is the real glory, much more real than what is like Lingyan Pavilion." ”

"Yo, I love to hear that." A mellow and shrill voice came, and the two hurriedly turned around and crossed their hands respectfully: "Meet the general." ”

The person who came was Gao Lishi, who was holding the dust in his hand, and on that fat face like a bun, others would never see what he really thought.

"Gai Zhongcheng, General Fumeng, Your Majesty has an edict."

The two hurriedly bowed and crossed their hands, waiting for the oracle.

Gao Lishi opened his mouth: "Gai Jiayun, the border land is bitter cold, Chang'an is prosperous, cherish your body." General Fumeng, the new envoy Tian Renwan is about to come to Chang'an from Yizhou to receive his order, and you must do your best to assist Shangguan. ”

After Gao Lishi said these seemingly tasteless words, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said to Gai Jiayun: "I almost forgot, Your Majesty asked you, can Li Siye be promoted to Zhonglang Jianghu if he is a general?" ”
