The news that Bian Hao's army conquered Tanzhou without blood and the return of the king of Chu soon spread back to Jiangning Mansion.

Not surprisingly, the whole country was excited, and the emperor Li Jing was happy, enjoying the cheers of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. At the same time, after receiving Chen Jue's recital, his face was even more shocked, and the court discussed the two things mentioned in the recital, one was Chen Jue's invitation to lead Chu in the name of Ma, and the other was the glorious deeds of Li Yuansan who rode into the city to say that the king of Chu had descended.

Three days later, the Holy Decree was given.

The first decree was a military order, ordering Liu Renzhan to immediately lead the naval army to attack the strategic Yuezhou, and at the same time sent two generals, Zhang Luan and Li Jianqi, to lead the army to march from the land, all the way south to Guizhou, all the way to the north, and stationed in Yiyang, south of Langzhou. Prepare to occupy the entire Chu State in one go.

Another holy decree is to reward the officers and soldiers of the whole army, promote Bian Hao to be the envoy of Wuping Festival, add the captain of the school, and order him to lead the army to stand by and respond to friendly actions at any time. Chen Juejia is a young master and a servant. The rest of the generals were promoted to one rank.

And Ma Xichong, at the request of Chen Jue, was appointed as the general of Yulinwei and the envoy of Wu'an Jiedu, and Ma Xicao, who was disarmed by the Southern Tang army outside Tanzhou City, was also appointed as the observer of Jiangnan West Road.

However, due to the war and turmoil of Chu for many years and the poor living environment, the emperor was very considerate of Ma Xichong, Ma Xicao and other Ma royal families, and decided to let them go to the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty for sightseeing for a period of time, so he appointed his brother-in-law Li Jingzhi, recommended by Chen Jue, as the deputy envoy of Wu'an Jiedu to "help" Ma Xichong to govern the Tanzhou Mansion.

The overall situation has been decided, some people cry, some people laugh, and some people cry and laugh.

On this day, the holy decree was sent down to the army, and Li Yuan was also ordered to come to listen to the decree.

After Chen Jue and Bian Hao led the generals to listen respectfully to His Majesty's will, the most excited was Chen Jue, who kept moving excitedly, chanting the Son of Heaven Shengming, and even began to snort.

All the generals were rewarded, and they were all full of spring breeze, and they were naturally happy to cooperate with this Chen envoy's cozy behavior.

At such a moment of jubilation, coach Byun Ho's face was gloomy, and without saying a word, he automatically moved away from the crowd, holding his sword scabbard tightly in one hand. Because the emperor gave him the post of Wuping Jiedu envoy, the place of governance is Langzhou, which is a hundred miles away, and it is still the territory of Liu Yan and others. The emperor's intentions couldn't be more obvious, if you want to continue fighting, Langzhou will be yours to fight!

As for the Tanzhou Mansion, which he had been coveting for months, this boiled duck flew right in front of him. Bitterness, hatred!

Suddenly, Liu Shaojian, who was surrounded by everyone and touted in the middle, pushed aside the crowd and shouted with a smile on his face: "Which one is Li Yuan Li Lang?" ”

Li Yuan, who was also depressed for a long time like Bian Hao, heard his name, and subconsciously raised his hand and shouted: "I'm here, the villain is here!" The generals laughed.

I saw this young eunuch Liu tiptoe slightly, walked in front of Li Yuan, looked at it for a moment with a pair of crooked blue eyes, and then smiled: "Sure enough, it's a good man!" This appearance is also good-looking. ”

Hearing such a sharp tone, and seeing that this Young Eunuch Liu had been watching him, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel cold, and quickly clamped his legs and became nervous.

Young Eunuch Liu seemed to understand something, covered his mouth and smiled, and then as if his face changed, he instantly recovered his serious expression, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's dictation, this time to conquer Tanzhou, the king of Chu bowed his head, and Li Yuansan rode into the city, and his wisdom and courage were outstanding, which should be the first achievement." I cherished the talent, and Li Yuan immediately returned to Beijing with another appointment. ”

Fang Cai listened to the will for a long time, and was a little disappointed and hesitant, who expected such a big surprise to suddenly come! Li Yuan didn't have time to think, and while his heart was surging, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

Young Eunuch Liu nodded: "I still understand the rules." Li Lang, let's go back to Beijing today! ”

Li Yuan immediately bowed his hand and said: "Then it will be bothering the young eunuch!" (Note: The eunuchs of this era all have large and small official positions, and cannot be called "father-in-law", and the title "father-in-law" flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties)

Under the envious and surprised eyes of everyone, Li Yuan had already become the focus at this time.

Just as Li Yuan was accepting the congratulations of the generals, Chen Jue mysteriously stepped forward, holding Young Eunuch Liu with one hand and Li Yuan with the other, and the three of them walked to the side of the main hall.

Although everyone was watching, Li Yuan did not resist. Because this move shows that Chen Jue has gradually regarded him as his own. And there are still seven years in history from the first year of Zhongxing (958) when Chen Jue fell, not to mention that he has crossed over this time, maybe there will be variables.

At least at this moment, Chen Jue is still very important in the court. Getting closer to this person, although he may be regarded as a member of the same party, is a temporary backer for himself, a newcomer.

I saw Chen Jue lower his voice and asked, "Young Eunuch Liu, is Your Majesty's Holy Communion okay?" ”

"Envoy, Your Majesty learned that Chu was pacified, and the Sacred Heart was happy, and he specially issued an edict for a three-day feast! It's great! ”

"Good, good, good! The old minister is always thinking about Your Majesty! The old minister is ashamed, this time he finally lived up to His Majesty's trust......" As he spoke, Chen Jue began to feel sad again, wiping his eyes that were not moist with the sleeves of his robe.

Young Eunuch Liu is also a veteran, and hurriedly persuaded: "Oops! It doesn't have to be that way! In this great victory, His Majesty praised the meritorious work of the Prime Minister's army, and also praised the Emperor's plan to present the Prime Minister, so that the Prime Minister should be happy! ”

Li Yuan: "......" was churning in his belly, watching the play quietly.

Chen Juezheng was immersed in his dream after returning to the dynasty, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Yuan out of the corner of his eye, and then remembered his theme: "Young Eunuch Liu, the matter of the queen's mother before the day care is ......."

Li Yuanzheng didn't know what was going on, and was in a daze, but he saw Liu Shaojian pulling Chen Jue closer to him, and whispered: "Niangniang said, Your Majesty admires Li Lang very much, saying that Li Lang is young and talented, wise and brave, and is the family surnamed Li, and intends to stay in Jinling on duty, and when he returns to Beijing, it is advisable to grant the palace to the capital Yu Hou ......" (Note: When Li Jing of Tang Yuanzong reigned, Jinling City had already been changed to Jiangning Mansion, but people sometimes habitually called Jinling)

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Jue was surprised, but Li Yuan was even more angry, his face was full of incredulity, if he was really named the palace Zhidu Yu Hou, he had just turned twenty years old, he was really soaring, and his future was immeasurable!

The armies of the Southern Tang Dynasty are roughly divided into three types, and the Shenwu Army, where Li Yuan is now located, belongs to one of the six armies of the forbidden army, and the six armies can be called the elite troops in the forbidden army; Other forbidden armies other than the six armies are also called miscellaneous armies, such as the Fengjie army in the Bian Ho army, these troops are collectively referred to as the guard armies; In addition, it is the local army under the command of the assassin of each section, and the soldiers and township soldiers of the state and county.

In the army, hundreds of people are the capital, set up the capital, five are the battalions, the battalions are the commanders, the five battalions are the army, the army is the commander, and the ten armies are the compartments, which are generally divided into the left compartment and the right compartment, and the above compartment is the number army, such as the Shenwu Army. The officers above the box level are the commanders of the army, which is also the highest military position in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Although the Dianzhi Army is not an ace force like the Sixth Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty and belongs to the guards of the army, it is a special existence in the forbidden army, that is, to defend the imperial city. Guarding the emperor's ministers up and down, this is really the position of the heart of the empire. The palace is second only to the commander of the army, the deputy commander of the army, belongs to the third person of the entire army, and is a proper senior officer of the forbidden army.

And when it comes to the deputy commander of the battalion appointed by Bian Hao to Li Yuan before, the name sounds very bluffing at first glance, but in fact, he is just a small leader with 500 people, or a deputy, and the deputy commander who belongs to the basic structure of the Southern Tang Army.

Therefore, Li Yuan knew very well that if there was no mediation from Chen Jue, the privy envoy, he would not believe this appointment, and maybe the queen mother might have blown a pillow wind...... This is the classic "there are people above me".

Li Yuan suppressed his excitement, but still adhered to the humble attitude of the young man, neither shirked nor was he complacent, and said sincerely: "The grace of the minister and Liu Shaojian will be remembered in the end!" He will be rewarded in the coming day! But after all, he is still young, and he will have to rely on the two of them in the future in the court! ”

Although the appointment has not been made at this time, Li Yuan no longer calls himself a villain in front of these two hot emperor celebrities, which is a new starting point.

Chen Jue nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands and smiled: "This prime minister first congratulates Li Lang on his promotion!" Well, if you are young but not vigorous, you will become a great thing! ”

Young Eunuch Liu said with a smile: "Li Lang, oh no, General Li Yuhou Li is now his own family, so there is no need to be polite!" Hurry up and pack your bags and hit the road with us, shall we? ”

Li Yuan responded in a proper manner: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Then, he quickly withdrew from the main hall, and the two good brothers Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu were already waiting anxiously. After seeing Li Yuan showing a mysterious smile, the two were ecstatic and couldn't help themselves, and they also knew that it was inconvenient to talk here, so they got on the horse and galloped away with Li Yuan......
