Chapter 180
General Li looked at the emperor with firm eyes. He has been with the emperor for decades. He knows the emperor's character very well, and he knows that if he talks too much today, it will cause trouble for himself and even the Li family.

But when he thought of Li Jing in Jiangbei, even though he was physically inconvenient, he still insisted on being on the front line. Even he, who had always been moderate, was inevitably moved in his eyes.

"Are you trying to sway my decision?"

The emperor was already angry, he questioned General Li in a deep voice, General Li's back was straight, and his head hit the ground heavily.

"Your Majesty, since you were a prince, the old minister has been by your side. For so many years, the veteran's neutral assistant is stationed here. If there is nothing at home, the old minister is unwilling to come back. Isn't this enough to show that the old minister faithful?

Today, even if the old official takes off his official uniform, the old official still has to say something for the fourth prince.

What you saw in the capital was only the result, but when I was waiting in Jiangbei, the food was robbed, Yun Xin died in a hurry to escort the food, and the fourth prince dragged his leg and injured, caring about the food and clothing of the people, you only need to see the result It is enough to open the memorial and see a few lines written on it, but how did we spend those few days, who knows our suffering and sorrow? "

General Li's voice was like a bell, neither humble nor overbearing, the emperor listened with a frown, perhaps because he gathered in a high position, he was used to people's flattery, hearing good advice would inevitably arouse his anger.

"This is what he should do as a descendant of the heavenly family."

The emperor shook his sleeves angrily, looked at General Li with red eyes, but what he said made General Li laugh mockingly.

"The emperor said it lightly. Since the descendants of the Tian family have that obligation, why did the fourth prince who was in poor health go to the disaster area to appease the people? There are so many princes in the court, is there anyone who takes the lead?
Even if the emperor doesn't know who robbed the food, don't you know who made it?

Don't pretend to be confused, no matter how good your son is, he will be chilled because of your favoritism. "

Although General Li is a military commander, he is not good at speaking on weekdays, but today he is really angry, and there is no hindrance when he speaks.

"you……?"

The emperor trembled angrily and pointed at General Li with his fingers. A Liu Yanbo was in front, and here came another General Li, which really pissed him off.

"Your Majesty, I've been used to the days of licking blood with knives, just because I know how much hardship the days of smoldering wars have brought to the people. In today's peaceful and prosperous world, is it because of some people's ambition that the people have to bear the consequences?

Maybe for you, I am complaining for the fourth prince today, but your majesty, think about it carefully, if the locusts are poisonous, we will have no food one day after arriving in Jiangbei, and the food escorted by Yun Xin was robbed. My son also arrived seven days later.

During this period of time without food, how did the people feed their hunger?
He can't even eat enough to eat, so what energy does he have to control the locusts? Because of small thoughts, the emperor is eager to think about it.

Today, the old minister offended Longyan, knowing that death is inevitable, but I beg the emperor to see that the old minister has killed half of his life for you, and give him a way to survive. Today, the old minister will be dismissed and returned to the field, please leave. "

After General Li finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to untie the armor on his body and placed it neatly on the ground.

"Are you threatening me?"

The emperor was annoyed, "Could it be that you became angry from embarrassment because I didn't reward you for your meritorious service in controlling the locusts?"

The emperor questioned General Li, who just smiled coldly.

"I failed my family too much because of the Yuan Dynasty, and now I can go home to spend time with my wife and children. I am old, and it's time for the young people to take on the blow."

General Li got up and left after speaking. The emperor looked at his determined back and didn't know what to say for a while.

How could he fail to see what General Li did? He was right. The emperor only took a fancy to Li Jing and rushed to the disaster area, and had some guesses about his intentions, but in the end it was the common people who benefited.

The reason why General Li was dismissed and returned to the field was just to prove to him that although he helped Li Jing speak, on certain positions, he would rather launch than participate in the practice. "

The emperor sighed helplessly, and shook his head and laughed after thinking clearly about General Li's intentions.

The chief eunuch looked at his face which was cloudy and clear for a while, even if he was an old man who had been with the emperor for more than ten years, he couldn't see his happiness or anger.

The emperor walked back to the dragon table and sat down, looking through the open door at Li Jing and Liu Yanbo who were kneeling outside.

The sharp gaze fell on Li Jing's body, and at this moment Li Jing noticed his gaze and greeted him fearlessly.

The father and son looked at each other from a distance, neither of them gave in. In the end, the emperor sighed helplessly.

"The fourth prince, Li Jing, made meritorious service in controlling the locusts, and was canonized as Prince Jing. General Li has fought in the battlefield all year round. Although he left the station hastily, he thought that the situation was serious at the time, so he did not pursue his fault.

Liu Yanbo made great contributions in governance and was promoted to the third rank.

Yunxin, the grandson of Duke Yun, has made meritorious service in transporting grain, and rewarded him with thousand-year-old ginseng, a thousand mu of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of gold.

Reward Li Moqun with a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold. "

The emperor spoke calmly, he knew very well that Jiangbei's affairs were a big mess, if he didn't make a reward, he might not be able to convince the public.

What's more, Li Jing and others were rewarded for solving his urgent need.

What annoyed him was that none of them obeyed his orders. As a ruler, what he hated the most was that his subordinates did not obey his arrangements.

"The old slave thanked the emperor on behalf of the fourth prince and others."

Who is the chief eunuch, if he can hold this position for more than ten years, he must be an old fritter in the harem.

He can see who among the many princes is the most advantageous one, but after all, it is not easy for him to stand in line in advance, so he can only treat everyone respectfully, so as not to offend others. In the future, the high-ranking person will take the lead and get rid of him.

Seeing that the emperor's anger had subsided, the chief eunuch asked immediately.

"Since the emperor doesn't blame the fourth prince, then he just..."

He prolonged his voice on purpose, and looked at the emperor with his eyes. Sure enough, the next second, the emperor waved his hand impatiently.

"Tell him to get out of here quickly, how decent is he to kneel in front of the Tai Chi Hall?"

The chief eunuch smiled happily, "This servant knows that the emperor loves the fourth prince."

After he finished speaking, he ran out and said to Li Jing who was kneeling on the ground.

"Fourth prince, get up quickly. The emperor is not angry with you, but because of your meritorious service in controlling the locusts, he named you Prince Jing. You are the earliest prince who was named a prince in the history of the Yuan Dynasty."

The chief eunuch's voice was full of compliments, and Li Jing looked at the emperor in the Taiji Hall with dark eyes.

Sometimes a reward is not a good thing, because it is too special, it is easy to become a thorn in the side of others.

Your honey is my arsenic, but this is the truth.

"Thank you, father, Huang Long." Li Jing kowtowed to thank him, and then stood up with great effort under the support of the chief eunuch.

Liu Yanbo was still kneeling on the ground, the chief eunuch hurriedly tried to persuade him.
