Your Majesty, Li Jing, was ordered to conquer the Turks. Today I won the victory and presented 100,000 Turks to the cave. Long live your majesty." Under the Zhuque Gate, Li Jing was dressed in military uniform and looked majestic. Under the morning sun, the gray beard under his chin shone with a trace of silver.

Like a god, he is very powerful in front of hundreds of officials.

"General Li Jing, annihilated one hundred thousand enemies, showed his prestige in the world, spread the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in all directions, and made great contributions to the country. He has made outstanding contributions. He is specially appointed as the king of Hexi County and has thousands of households in the city.

"I thanked His Majesty. Li Jing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and bowed his head and obeyed the order. In fact, not only him, but also Feng Wenwen, who was riding in the same carriage as Wang Gang and Lu Zhaoci, did not expect Lu Zhaoci to issue such an imperial edict.

Come. Li Jing was made king of the county at once. Li Jing was not considered a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, but he was still made a prince. He is the only king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty. He is a king with a different surname granted by the current Emperor Zhenguan. This is different from Li Xiaogong.

The princes and titles of others are different. In terms of gold content, Li Jing's title of county prince is far more important than that of Li Xiaogong and others.

"Prisoners presented in the ancestral temple. As Qin Jiudao's shrill voice sounded, the grand prisoner presentation ceremony finally began. This was the victory of defeating the Turks until the Tang Dynasty, after the hard work of three generations of emperors.

I don’t know how many soldiers fought bloody battles for today, and we don’t know how many people on the frontiers made sacrifices to get where we are today.

"The League has decided to erect a stone monument on the square inside the Zhuque Gate Gate to commemorate the lives of soldiers who lost their lives in wars of the past dynasties. Emperors of all dynasties must pay homage every year so that the soldiers who died in war will be immortalized and commemorated with us.

The Tang Dynasty was still here, and his reputation will be resounding throughout the ages."

"The couplet decided to build the Lingyan Pavilion to the east of the Xuande Hall, with calligraphy and paintings on it. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have been running for state affairs, seeking benefits for the people, and making meritorious deeds for the court, so that their names will last forever and leave their names in history.

"Long live, long live!"

"Long live. Long live".

In front of the Ancestral Temple, Lu Zhaoci had a dignified face, a solemn look, and was dressed in a Shanhe Sheji robe. He knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family, and carefully recited the sacrificial inscriptions to inform his ancestors and ancestors. In order to inform the mountains and geography. Ancestral Temple

Outside, there were countless ministers and soldiers. Hearing his words, they let out waves of roaring sounds. The sound of the mountain roar shook the entire city of Chang'an. "Your Majesty, the general is outside asking for an audience.

This is the third day after General Li Jing returned to the court. Both the huge memorial stone monument and the magnificent Lingyan Pavilion are under preparation. The ministers were also excited by the fact that the prisoners were presented to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

State affairs are also full of enthusiasm, but what is surprising now is that Li Jing, the newly appointed King of Hexi County, bends down in the palace every day and begs Lu Zhaoci to take back his title as King of Hexi County.

Very surprised.

"Tell him that the imperial edict has been issued, and it is not allowed to be changed soon." Sheng Zhaoci frowned. He knew Li Jing's character. He knew that Li Jing's move was not the so-called three-step recommendation at all, but

It's his nature.

Li Jing is cautious by nature, and his pursuit of fame and fortune is not as serious as that of Changsun Wuji and others. This is what he really wants, but he has already issued an imperial edict. What's more, canonizing Li Jing as the county king is indeed what he has in mind.

I think there is no other reason at all.

"Your Majesty, since General Li Jing is unwilling to accept the title of the Hexi County Prince, why don't you be a man of beauty and take back the title of the County Prince?" Cui Renshi rolled his eyes and said softly. Li Jing is a highly respected person.

The contribution he made is indeed real. There is no possibility of adulteration. But now he has been granted the title of county king, which makes Master Cui Ren a little dissatisfied. As the Duke of the country, no matter how much food you have, but

Those are all the titles of Duke, but the title of this county king is different. No matter how many houses you have as a county king, you are still a county king. Not only the clothes are different, but everything else is different.

In the future, when Master Cui Ren saw Li Jing, he not only made way for his carriage, but also respectfully saluted Li Jing! This was something he didn't want to do.

"How to become a beautiful person? The great general's contribution is obvious to all. There are some things that Lian must consider clearly, but there are some things that are not necessary." Lu Zhaoci said slightly dissatisfied: "Lian remembers

When Liu Bang, the emperor of the previous Han Dynasty, once said that no one without the surname Liu could be granted the title of king, and no one without the military merit could be granted the title of marquis, but what would happen later? Wasn't the Han Dynasty destroyed by others? General Li Jing was loyal to Lian and granted the title of marquis.

There is nothing special about him as a county king. What's more, his county king is not hereditary. In the future, his descendants will have titles such as Duke, Marquis and so on. What does a county king have?

What about the relationship?".

"Of course your Majesty's move has nothing to do with it. Your Majesty wants to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, but the ministers must abide by the righteousness of the ministers. That is why the general does not want to violate the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. After thinking about it, the text said: "Now the Turks are not

After being trained by Lu, the general expressed his disdain that he had been studying for sixty years, but his spirit was not the same as that of Bei. "A young man like Sichuan will definitely be able to fight for your Majesty in the battlefield in the future. The general will have to deal with these Turks. Once they are destroyed,

The general has destroyed the Turks, so how will your majesty reward the general? Do you have to go up a level and make him a prince? 7 This will not only violate your majesty's friendship for the general, but more importantly, it will be detrimental to the general.

. I think that if your Majesty really loves the general, it is better to take back the title of the county king this time. After the general has pacified the Turks, it will not be too late to reward him. I hope your majesty will be careful."

"Chen Zan discusses!"

"I second the proposal!"

In the Xuande Hall, Changsun Wuji and others also nodded repeatedly, following Ben Wenwen and others. Obviously, these people were not satisfied with Li Jing being awarded the title of County King. However, they were all following Ben Wenwen and others.

.

"Hmph. Of course, the title of a mere county king caused a stir in the whole court. Hum, in our Tang Dynasty, others can not be crowned kings. But only Li Jing can't. Li Jing is an exception. He established a joint alliance for the Tang Dynasty.

After all his great contributions, if he doesn't make him a king, how can anyone else be qualified to make him a king or a duke?" Lu Zhaoci sneered: "This time he defeated Lingli and captured 100,000 people, so he made him a county king.

, in the future, if he annihilates the Turks and the Western Regions, Lian Lian will also make him a prince. After a hundred years of being a general, Lian will also want his tablet to be listed with Lian, enter the Ancestral Temple, and receive royal worship.

"Your Majesty." The expressions of Feng Wenwen and others changed. It is a great honor to enjoy the royal worship. However, if you enter the Ancestral Temple, stand side by side with Emperor Zhenguan, and receive the worship of successive emperors, that is the ultimate goal for human ministers.

Target. When everyone heard that Li Jing was about to enjoy this kind of treatment, they couldn't help but be surprised and envious.

"Not only Li Jing, but also among you, there will be people like Li Jing who deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple. The descendants of Shou Lian will always respect him. Lu Zhaoci snorted: "Lian will tell the world that as long as you will not let down Lian, Lian will not

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I will not be like Yang Guang, the former emperor of the Sui Dynasty. I can be an eternal monarch and minister with you meritorious ministers, and the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers will forever be recorded in the annals of history."

"Long live your Majesty.

The hearts of the ministers were filled with excitement, and their original worries about Li Jing disappeared instantly without a trace. Everyone was aiming for the reputation worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple.

"Go, send a message to Li Jing, asking him to hide the title of the county king well, so that he can fight for Lian for several years. Lian's Qianling Mausoleum is already being built, and his tomb will be next to Lian in the future. Lu Zhaoci swept it

Feng Wenwen glanced at him and said with a smile: "In the future, your grave may be beside Lian."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty." The nerves of Ben Wenwen and others were already numb. They did not expect to receive such huge news today, which hit their hearts hard.

"Haha. The general is the general. Your Majesty has your trust deeply!" The ministers left the Xuande Palace. They asked the general Li Jing who was still kneeling on the ground. Cui Renshi still couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes and said with a smile.

.

"Master Cui, do you know how old the general is this year?" Ju Wen said with a smile on his side.

"The general has gray hair and is now over sixty, but he is still strong and strong, which is very admirable!" Cui Renshi said although he was surprised by Juwen's question.

"Although he is getting older and stronger, he is still in his sixties after all." Du Ruhui said calmly: "The general is here after all, so I am more cautious."

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the words. They naturally divided Du Ruhui's words into two parts to listen to. What they paid most attention to was not the last sentence but the first sentence. Li Jing was already over sixty years old and had been fighting for a lifetime, so he had no physical condition.

I know how many hidden wounds have been left. In this era, people who can live over sixty years old are rare, not to mention, there are so many hidden wounds. How many years can Li Jing live? Because of this,

He was granted the title of a county prince. This was certainly due to the righteousness between Emperor Zhenguan and Li Jing, but part of it was because Li Jing was already old. He didn't have many years left to live, so Emperor Zhenguan didn't worry about others at all.

So he generously made him a county king.

But this is only suitable for Li Jing. On the one hand, the ministers and Lu Zhaoci do not have such a deep relationship. On the other hand, the ministers are still very young. Even Feng Wenwen is not yet fifty years old.

Under such circumstances, how could the ministers be conferred the title of county king by Lu Zhaoci? Perhaps at best they would be honored after death. As soon as everyone thought of this, the excitement that had just surged disappeared without a trace.

.

"General, this is given to you by your Majesty." Feng Wenwen ignored everyone's thoughts and took half of the tiger talisman from his arms, handed it to Li Jing, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also wants the general to conquer the grassland."

"After accepting the order to express my gratitude, Li Jing finally bowed in the direction of Xuande Hall with tears in his eyes.
