Chapter 332, Asking for Reward

Many officials who are not very sensitive to political smell look at Qinghuang who is laughing wildly and feel inexplicable.

More than one million taels of silver and more than two million stones of grain, piled up in front of them at first glance, really gave people a shocking visual impact.

But in fact, this wealth is not much, and it is not worth Qinghuang to be so excited about.

You must know that Daqing occupies the richest place in the Central Plains, even if the population withers due to the war, and everything is in ruins.

But after several years of recuperation and recuperation, the wasteland has been reclaimed, and now the tax revenue of Daqing for a year is a full 5 million taels of silver and nearly 20 million stone grain.

In other words, the gold, silver and grain offered by Li Chengjing are at most one-fifth of Daqing's annual financial revenue.

For individuals, it is naturally a lot of dazzling, but for a court, it is not so much.

However, the officials with a keen sense of political smell looked very ugly at the moment, and they were not at all happy because Daqing suddenly got such a windfall. 33

Even Qinghuang is a human being, and they know why Qinghuang is so happy.

Not only for wealth, but also because the money and grain in front of him represent the hinterland of the border of Yan State, and the land of a county has been completely emptied by Li Chengjing.

If Yan wants to repopulate the population and replenish grain and grass, it will be an extremely long process.

It can be said that these money and grain prove that the Yan Kingdom has been unable to crusade eastward within a few years.

Emperor Qing has always wanted the Northern Expedition, why can't he act for a long time.

In addition to the fact that Qingguo has just recovered a little bit of vitality now, and the treasury is empty, it is difficult to support a battle to destroy the country, it is to use the possibility of Yan State to march eastward at any time, so that Qingguo will suffer from the enemy on his back, so that Qinghuang will not be able to set off the Northern Expedition for a long time.

Now, the threat of Yan is almost gone, and only a strong army of Chen Bing on the border of Qingyan is enough to ensure the safety of the rear of Qingguo.

For Qinghuang, when he was really sleepy, someone sent him a pillow, how not to make him so happy.

Hearing Li Chengjing ask him if he wanted to change places and continue to release the grain, Emperor Qing gradually put away his laughter.

Looking at Li Chengjing's gaze, it was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, no matter how you look at it, it feels pleasing to the eye.

It was not only Li Chengjing's move that eliminated the threat theory of Yan State, but also made Emperor Qing see more room for use.

With so much gold and silver grain, with only a small wooden box, it can travel thousands of miles from Yan Country to Qingguo Jingshi.

What does this mean, it shows that the army's grain and grass transportation, the most headache of loss and tear, can be easily solved.

As long as there are enough allegimates, and there are monks like Li Chengjing who are willing to be loyal to the imperial court, Qingguo will no longer have to work hard to recruit people and transport grain and grass for thousands of miles.

Not only does Daqing not have to be conscripted in Guangzhou, which makes people angry, but also allows the grain to be transported almost 100% quickly.

All kinds of strategic significance have made Qinghuang excited.

In the final analysis, Li Chengjing still lacks the gaze of a real superior, if he has the height and vision of Emperor Qing, everything he has done before can actually be omitted, and the use of the strategic level of the Xuanmen monk is enough for Emperor Qing to keep Li Chengjing at all costs.

Because, today's Li Chengjing, for those Xuanmen cultivators, is the golden horse bone.

Tell all the cultivators, come to me, I will protect you and bless you.

"Okay, don't waste mana, I know that the accumulation of mana for monks like you is not so easy, and I still need Aiqing to put away these grains temporarily."

Emperor Qing only said grain, and as for the silver, it naturally went into his inner treasury.

After all, this was given to him by Li Cheng Jingjin, not by the imperial court.

Back in the main hall, most of the officials were silent.

Emperor Qing asked with a smile in his eyes: "Since you have already been wronged by Li Zhaoguan before, then now you think that what reward should be given to us as a great hero?" ”

When they heard this, they were silent.

Li Chengjing is not a member of any party in the DPRK and China, and when he has not figured out who Li Chengjing intends to take refuge into, he rashly shows favor is tantamount to making a wedding dress for someone else.

Guan Shengshuai said first: "Your Majesty, Li Zhaoguan led the troops and made such a feat, which is obviously more suitable for the army, so it is better to make him a general and defend one side." ”

When Emperor Qing heard this, he just nodded and did not say anything.

This is not what Qinghuang wants.

For Li Chengjing, now in the eyes of Emperor Qing, he is a treasure, how can he let it go.

Although it is said that Li Chengjing's battle is indeed incredible, Qinghuang also believes that if Li Chengjing leads the troops, he will indeed be able to conquer everything.

But Li Chengjing's identity is really sensitive.

After all, he is still a monk of Xuanmen, a person in Xuanmen, and he is very taboo to participate in the affairs between mortals.

When the time comes, it will be their Daqing soldiers who will blow the loss.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and now Li Chengjing is just one person, how to fight with the entire Xuanxiu Sect.

However, with Guan Sheng's beginning, other officials also put forward various opinions.

But there are also people who question the impropriety of Li Chengjing becoming an official of the imperial court on the basis that Li Chengjing is a Xuan Xiu.

In short, until the retreat from the dynasty, there was no one answer.

"Xuan Li recruits officials to enter the imperial study of Taiwei Hall to meet him."

When the ministers were about to leave, the great eunuch immediately stopped Li Chengjing, who was also about to leave.

followed the big eunuch all the way to the Taiwei Palace, and Emperor Qing was not here.

The big eunuch smiled and said: "Li Zhaoguan can rest on the side first, His Majesty didn't sleep in the starry night last night, dealing with official documents, and now he is resting." You may need to wait a little longer. ”

Li Chengjing nodded and said, "There is labor!" ”

This is most of the day.

It wasn't until after noon that Li Chengjing was called by the eunuch to the Taiwei side hall to accompany the emperor to dine.

There is no luxury as imagined, only a dozen dishes with meat and vegetable pairings, and a pot of fine wine.

Qinghuang changed into a regular dress and sat upright.

"My hero is here, sit next to me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengjing sat on the right side of Emperor Qing in the midst of many envious eyes.

The palace maid on the side immediately poured wine for Li Chengjing.

Qinghuang looked at Li Chengjing and said, "I'm old, I was just a little tired last night, and I was already tired." ”

"Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, you need to cherish the dragon body, and you must not overwork!"

After a few rounds of words on the scene, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Emperor Qing said: "This is private, not the court or the imperial study, let me ask you, what do you think yourself?" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengjing looked at Emperor Qing and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Emperor Qing smiled: "You should also know that it is impossible for you to go back to Yizi City now, so you can only stay in the capital." Since you want to be an official in the capital, what do you want to do, say it boldly, and don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Li Chengjing smiled: "Say it casually? ”

"Say whatever!"

Li Chengjing said: "In this case, why don't Your Majesty make a vassal a national teacher?" ”

Emperor Qing was stunned and looked at Li Chengjing in amazement.

It's not that Li Chengjing is too demanding, but too low.

The so-called national teacher is not an official position, but an honorific title.

There are many meanings, such as a national teacher's table, such as a kind of honorific title of the Taishi, such as the praise of the Tao, the monk and the virtuous person.

Nowadays, in Daqing Beijing, Huangji Hall and Wuxiang Temple, Xiaowuxiang Temple, Sanguan Temple and other large and small temples, there are not fifty people with the title of national teacher, but also thirty or forty people.

Even a few days ago, the monk Nafatong also had the title of national teacher.

This so-called national teacher is already rotten in the capital.

That's why Emperor Qing was surprised that Li Chengjing would want such a false name and no practical things.

Li Chengjing explained: "Today, above the court, there is an official who is very right, the minister himself is a Xuan Xiu, and such an identity, no matter what official position he holds, is not suitable. It will inevitably lead to the impeachment of the Xuanxiu sect on the mountain, causing endless trouble for His Majesty. However, if he is enshrined as a national teacher, he is not a rank official of the Nine Rank in the Lower Rank, and the sect on the mountain has no reason to harass His Majesty. Second, this is also the reason why His Majesty justifies the name of the minister, just like the people of the world are not evil demons, and it is also the reason why the Xuanxiu on the mountain is eliminated and the minister is troubled with righteousness. ”

"Therefore, this false name has real benefits, and it benefits three parties."

When Emperor Qing heard this, he laughed, saw that Li Chengjing was more and more satisfied, and said: "It's a pity, you have already entered the Xuanmen, if you can become an official, I can have one more capable minister!" ”

"But, if it's just a false name for you, then wouldn't I want to poke the backbone behind the world's back. I agreed to the matter of the national teacher, but the reward is still not enough, so tell me, what else do you want? ”

When Li Chengjing heard this, he looked at Emperor Qing, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does still have what he wants, but I don't know if His Majesty dares to give it to the minister." ”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing suddenly fell silent.

Li Chengjing actually put on such a look, obviously what he wanted was definitely not trivial, and it was definitely not a matter of money.

After a long time, Emperor Qing stood up and said: "Since I ascended the throne, I have swept away the old evils, reformed the rule of officials, swept away Liuhe, and conquered the world. Say, I want to see how much you can open your mouth today. ”

Li Chengjing laughed, got up and raised his glass, drank it all, and said: "Please allow Your Majesty to allow the ministers, open the mansion and build teeth, and the three divisions of the same ceremony!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

All the eunuchs and palace maids looked at Li Chengjing with a madman's eyes.

What is the difference between this kind of request and asking Emperor Qing to give him the title of marquis and prime minister.

Daqing is not without this kind of people, they are all virtuous enough, but the merit is lacking, and Emperor Qing is inconvenient to be a marquis, so he will reward such kindness.

But now looking at Li Chengjing like this, where do you want this kind of honor, it is clear that you want to really open the government and recruit subordinates.

Even Emperor Qing was stunned, he didn't expect that Li Chengjing would make this request.

After a long time, Emperor Qinghuang laughed loudly, patted Li Chengjing's shoulder, and said, "Good boy, really a hero is a young man!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
