Early the next morning, Li Yunze, who woke up from a sound sleep, saw Hu Yan and Lin's heads when he was having breakfast.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be very disgusting, but Li Yunze, who has been fighting for many years, has long been used to this kind of thing.

Even after the battle, on the battlefield where the smell of blood filled the four fields, he could eat and drink calmly.

After a glance, Li Yunze motioned to take away the wooden box full of lime powder smell, "Whose merits?" ”

"The King."

Gongsun Hong, who is mainly responsible for all kinds of statistical work, respectfully responded, "It is the victory of the pro-guard cavalry school and the young man." ”

"Oh."

Li Yunze looked surprised, Wei Qing was not known for his outstanding force.

"The King." The main father Yan, who was accompanying the dinner on the side, explained: "Last night, the Huns attacked the camp, the Huns collapsed and bombed the camp, and some of the routs broke all the way to Quyang. The Han cavalry pursued for dozens of miles, killing hundreds of routed soldiers along the way, and finally caught up with this fang, and Wei Qing captured its head. ”

"This luck," Li Yunze smiled and shook his head, "Do you know who this chief is?" ”

"The captive has been found and verified, this fang is the left bone of the military minister under the royal court, and his name is Hu Yan and Lin."

"Hmm."

Li Yunze nodded and asked Gongsun Hong, "How should I count my merits?" ”

Gongsun Hong immediately responded, "It is a great achievement to kill the enemy chieftain in battle, and the words of the Marquis of the left bone should be a meritorious five turns." Wei Qing's title at this time is a hairpin, and he should be promoted to the rank of public passenger with this merit. ”

"After all, it is the left bone of the royal court, and with one more merit, it will be the five doctors."

Naturally, there will be no objections.

Smart people naturally know why Li Yunze still wants to raise Wei Qing to the next level.

The reason is very simple, compared to the public ride, the five doctors are the apex of the eldest doctor, and they can already touch the threshold of the lord.

If it is a public ride, it will take one more turn to make meritorious service in the future.

Now the five doctors, as long as they make meritorious service, they can be included in the list of Qingju.

There are 20 levels of military merit awards in the Han Dynasty, which are divided into four levels.

The most ordinary gentleman, the middle-level lord, the lord who connects the previous and the next, and the marquis that everyone dreams of.

Wei Qing definitely belongs to the type that rises quickly, but everyone doesn't care much.

After all, what is much faster than his upgrade is that he can quickly advance to the knighthood by capturing the flag and jumping first.

Not to mention snatching a certain part of Xiang Yu, he can directly seal the marquis.

There was also Wen Xi before, because he caught the Aries King and was directly crowned a marquis.

Here in Dahan, relying on military merits to ascend to the sky in one step, it is really not an impossible thing.

There is another point in the title system of the Han Dynasty, that is, the apex of the knight is not changed, and the title cannot be promoted simply by winning the first rank.

Usually it is not even the tun chief, and it is necessary to decapitate the merit by collective beheading.

However, there must be an exception, and that is the identity of the enemy that has been captured.

The military ministers are only in the left bone of the royal court, and the weight is definitely very heavy, enough to be promoted quickly.

Li Yunze thought about it for a while, and instructed Zhidu, who was in charge of rewards and punishments, to "give Wei Qing five hundred gold." ”

"Whoa!"

At this time, Wei Qing was scrubbing and combing his beloved horse.

Last night, he was able to chase dozens of miles, run faster than others, and finally caught up with the enemy chief and won the victory, relying on this handsome horse.

"If you return to Chang'an City, you must repay the grace of Pingyang Hou for giving horses."

Chang'an City, Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Cao Shou, who was smiling, sent Tian Wei to the outside of the house.

Witnessing Tian Wei's carriage leaving, the smile on Cao Shou's face suddenly fell.

Back in the house, Princess Pingyang, who was smiling and groaning, stepped forward to greet her, "How is it?" ”

"How?"

Cao Shou, who had a calm face, immediately responded, "When is this happening, you are still thinking about jointly recommending the king of Jiaodong as the crown prince, crazy, right?" ”

"Why are you crazy?"

Princess Pingyang, who is Liu Yu's sister, responded dissatisfiedly: "You are Yu'er's brother-in-law!" ”

Cao Shou, who said this, sighed repeatedly, and had to soften his tone, "I am naturally willing to help King Jiaodong, but the current form is impossible to succeed at all." ”

"Why can't it?"

"This still needs to be asked, with the King of Zhongshan here, it will not be the turn of the King of Jiaodong no matter what." Cao Shou persuaded bitterly, "If it is really a joint recommendation, not only will it not be of the slightest use, but it will also hate the King of Zhongshan." ”

Tian Wei ran around to make contact, and on the surface, he was looking for a momentum, and recommended King Jiaodong as the prince on the grounds that the crown prince was in the air.

But in reality, it's a test.

If you refuse to recommend it jointly, you naturally don't have to think that they will do great things together.

Princess Pingyang is not stupid, naturally she knows that the king of Zhongshan is the general trend.

Although they are all younger brothers, there is naturally a difference between half-brothers and half-brothers.

Needless to say, I know that Princess Pingyang must be biased towards Liu Yu.

She asked unwillingly, "Is there really no chance at all?" ”

"Absolutely not."

Cao Shou held Princess Pingyang's hand and explained seriously, "Zhongshan Wang Wentao and Wushu are all outstanding, and they also won a great victory over the Xiongnu and moved the world." At this time, he was a general and was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Unless. ”

Princess Pingyang hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" ”

"Unless something happens to the King of Zhongshan. Otherwise, the king of Jiaodong will never have any chance at all. ”

Something happens!

Even if I had such thoughts in my heart, I didn't dare to say it.

Princess Pingyang, who was full of loss, sighed repeatedly, and Cao Shou on the side comforted, "Don't get involved in these things, just live your own life." ”

Even Princess Pingyang, who is Liu Yu's sister, is reluctant to participate in it, and the attitude of others is naturally conceivable.

Tian Wei hit walls everywhere, and he was about to despair.

He knew very well that as long as Liu Sheng returned victoriously, it would be his own death!

It's a life-and-death battle.

Maybe Liu Yu will survive for a while for the sake of face, but a pawn like himself will inevitably be easily solved after the crown prince is established.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and when Tian Wei came to the prime minister's mansion on this day, he finally met good news.

Zhou Yafu naturally didn't see him, and his relatives were naturally not qualified to be personally received by the prime minister.

However, Zhou Yafu's son Zhou Yang had a very happy conversation with Tian Fen.

As for the joint recommendation of King Jiaodong as the crown prince, Zhou Yang also solemnly said that he would persuade his father to join it.

When he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tian Wei was in a good mood.

You must know that before Zhou Yafu became the prime minister, he was a general.

It has a great influence in the army, and if it stands on the side of King Jiaodong, it will inevitably play a great role.

Moreover, the prime minister is the chief of a hundred officials, which is of great significance.

It's just that Tian Wei's good mood was lost in the place of Tangyi Hou Chen Wu.

"I can't do this." Chen Wu received Tian Wei politely, but he didn't mean to participate in it at all, "I listen to the princess." ”

Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu is not famous, but his wife's reputation is very great.

His noble princess is the princess of the pavilion.

You must know that Chen Wu's daughter is Chen Ajiao, and Liu Yu, the king of Jiaodong, is his son-in-law.

Under such a relationship, he didn't even dare to recommend his son-in-law to be the prince, which really disappointed Tian Wei.

Chen Wu's meaning is naturally the meaning of Princess Guantao, this time Tian Wei came over, Princess Guantao didn't even see him.

It can be seen that Princess Guantao has already given up on Liu Yu.

She didn't want to give up, but she couldn't help it.

Princess Guantao's backer is the Empress Dowager Dou, but at this time, even the Empress Dowager Dou no longer opposes the prince as the crown prince, what can she do?

Her influence is only in the Empress Dowager Dou.

At her imperial brother Liu Qi, she really couldn't speak.

Or rather, there is no such thing as a big thing.

"A dignified marquis, like a slave, what a waste."

Leaving the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion, Tian Wei on the carriage looked down on this Marquis.

is also Princess Shang, Cao Shou is much stronger, at least he can get ideas.

Where is such a soft bone as Chen Wu, he doesn't even dare to say more.

Looking at the Hou Mansion through the car window, Tian Wei spat angrily, "Want to jump ship now?" It's not that easy! You are the son and daughter of the king of Jiaodong, do you really think that Liu Sheng will let you wait? Dream on! ”

Tian Wei, who was full of indignation, went home to clean up his mood, and went to visit Liu Wu, the king of Liang, the next day.

Liu Wu drank in the mansion and admired the slender posture of the dancing girls.

For Tian Wei's visit, he also didn't care.

Since he sent someone to assassinate Yuan An, who ruined his good deeds, Liu Wu has ruined his reputation.

The reason is very simple, the courtiers and nobles are all in danger.

If Liu Wu can assassinate Yuan Ang today, will he be able to assassinate himself tomorrow?

The most basic right to life is not guaranteed, and the courtiers and nobles will naturally make trouble.

In the face of the collective opposition of the ministers and nobles of the court, even the Empress Dowager Dou had to compromise.

And this is the most fundamental reason why Empress Dowager Dou had to give up Liu Wu.

Previously, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was very dissatisfied with Liu Wu not staying in his feudal country, and camping in Chang'an City all day long, and drove him back to Liang at every turn.

But now, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, is doing whatever Liu Wu likes to do, and even often behaves like a brother and a friend and brother unusually.

Without him, Liu Wu would no longer be a threat to him.

Liu Wu also knew this, seeing that the great position in his heart had nothing to do with him, his mental state was also depressed, and he was either touring the mountains and rivers or eating wine and watching songs and dances all day long, and finally lived the daily life of the kings of the Liu family.

Seeing Tian Wei coming to visit, Liu Wu, who was lying on his side and his head resting on his sister's lap, didn't bother to raise his eyelids, "Come to find this king, what's the matter?" ”

"The King."

Tian Wei saluted respectfully: "A certain person came to visit the king today, but he had something important to discuss. ”

"Say."

"This." Tian Wei looked around and said softly, "Please also ask the king to retreat." ”

"Hmph, there's a lot going on."

Liu Wu waved his hand impatiently, and asked the group of people to go out, "Say, this king wants to listen, you have any big things to disturb this king's fun." ”

"The King."

Tian Wei took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "We are interested, please make the king the emperor's younger brother!" ”

'Dangchang! ’

The golden cup in Liu Wu's hand fell directly to the ground.
