I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 165 Li Zheng is promoted again

"We used 20,000 cavalry to forcefully attack more than 100,000 rebels, tear apart the rebel formation, and successfully kill two rebel leaders."

"how did you do that?"

Wei King Li Tai looked shocked, and even his tone changed.

For many people in the court, they had never been on the battlefield, so they could only think of the disparity in military strength from the battle reports. However, Li Tai followed the Tang Dynasty God of War Li Jing to enter and leave the northern Xinjiang battlefield very early to confront the Turks.

He knows very well about war and battlefields.

He knew very well that facing the attack of hundreds of thousands of rebel cavalry, it was impossible to charge into the formation with only 20,000 cavalry.

In a head-on confrontation, this was almost a fatal situation, but Li Zheng suddenly brought him to life.

He forcibly defeated Xue Yantuo's hundreds of thousands of rebels.

"Li Zheng, that's awesome."

"It's a pity that he belongs to the prince. If he really becomes an enemy in the future, will I be his opponent on the battlefield?"

Li Tai's heart trembled at this moment, and he thought suddenly.

Thinking of this, he became uneasy.

"Hahaha."

At this time, a burst of laughter resounded in the Tai Chi Hall, which also brought the officials in the court to their senses instantly.

On the dragon throne, Li Shimin laughed and was extremely excited.

"My dear friends."

"Did you all hear that?"

"This is my general of the Tang Dynasty. Who among you can achieve such a result?"

"With twice the strength, we defeated more than 100,000 rebels and beheaded two of the rebel leaders."

"Only Li Zheng can do it."

Li Shimin said excitedly.

"emperor."

"This is the head of the rebel leader."

The victory soldier said respectfully and opened the two wooden boxes in his hands.

Li Shimin stood up, took a look, and then withdrew his gaze: "You are a rebellious person who doesn't know how to live or die, and you dare to offend my great power of the Tang Dynasty. Throw him to the dogs."

"Yes."

A group of Yu Lin soldiers entered the palace and directly took the two heads down.

"In less than a month, Li Zheng has brought us two surprises."

"Hahaha."

"I feel so relieved."

"My dear friends, Li Zheng has made such great achievements again. What do you think we should reward him for?"

Li Shimin glanced at the court with smiling eyes and asked loudly.

"Li Zheng has made such extraordinary achievements and deserves a heavy reward."

Wei Wang Li Tai immediately stood up and said loudly.

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

"Li Zheng will be given a great reward for his great achievements."

All civil and military officials in the dynasty agreed.

Nowadays, Li Zheng is very popular in this court, and no one dares to offend him, especially now when Li Shimin is so excited about the good news. Anyone who is not a fool can understand Long Yan's joy at this moment, and to offend Li Shimin, that is court death.

"You're right."

"Li Zheng has made such a great contribution and deserves a heavy reward."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face.

What he was waiting for was the words from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Such great achievements, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, will naturally be rewarded according to merit, and no one can find fault with it.

"Look, gentlemen, should we promote Li Zheng or give him a title?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile again.

He must let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty speak for these things.

This effect is much better than what he said himself.

"Your Majesty."

"I think so."

"General Li can be promoted to one rank in rank and one rank in rank."

"To show His Majesty's grace."

Du Chuke, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up directly and started playing loudly.

"I second the proposal."

"With General Li's ability, he deserves it."

Wei Zheng, the admonishing doctor, also immediately stood up. Everyone in the court was surprised by the two people's comments.

Du Chuke has always been an arrogant person. In addition to having close contacts with Wei King Li Tai, he also has old ties with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and other princes. He is almost invisible to others. Now he is the first to stand up for him. Li Zheng spoke.

As for Wei Zheng.

That goes without saying.

The number one remonstrator in the Tang Dynasty, even Li Shimin wanted to give him three points.

He speaks impartially and always puts serving the country first.

However, he got along well with Li Zheng.

"I second the proposal."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

"Well."

"I will follow what the ministers say."

"Now I will be promoted to the first level of Li Zhengguan and the first level of nobility."

"After the rebellion of the Youzhou rebels is completely suppressed, we will give you heavy rewards."

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction.

Subsequently.

Waved his hand: "Prepare the decree."

"Promoted to the first level of Li Zheng official rank, promoted to champion general, and enjoys the salary of the third rank."

"Promoted to the title of Li Zheng by two levels, from hereditary Duke to hereditary Duke."

"There are two copies of the decree. One will be passed to Li Zheng's wife, and the other will be sent to Youzhou immediately."

"Also, spread this good news to the world, so that the people of the world know about the great power of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin said loudly.

As soon as these words fell.

The ministers were surprised.

None of them expected that Li Shimin would be directly promoted to two levels of the title of Li Zheng. A hereditary prince would be promoted to a hereditary uncle, which was one level, but a hereditary uncle would be promoted to two levels.

But seeing how excited Li Shimin was, naturally no one dared to raise objections.

They all shouted: "The Emperor is wise."

"alright.

"Dear ladies, is there anything else you can do?"

"If not, let's disperse."

Li Shimin laughed, his worries about Youzhou and his prince completely gone.

Judging from the current results, it only takes a few months for the rebellion in Youzhou to be completely suppressed, and with the rebels defeated, the real danger is gone.

His prince should not be in too much danger.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed to Li Shimin and watched the latter leave the Tai Chi Hall.

The meeting dispersed.

Ministers came to Qin Jiansheng one by one.

"Lord Protector, congratulations."

"Your Qin Mansion has really found an outstanding person as your son-in-law!"

"If a daughter from the Qin family marries Li Zheng, it is really due to the good fortune of the old prince!"

"Congratulations."

One by one, the ministers congratulated Qin Jiansheng.

"Hahaha."

"Thank you, my lords."

"Thank you all for your concern for the Qin Mansion and your love for your brother-in-law Li Zheng."

"When Li Zheng comes back, I will definitely let Li Zheng hold a banquet to entertain you all."

Qin Jiansheng naturally laughed and cupped his hands.

Li Tai, King of Wei, left the Tai Chi Hall silently with some deep thoughts on this matter.

"This Li Zheng is becoming more and more favored now."

"In the future, I will definitely become an important minister that my father and the prince rely on."

"If it is true as the minister Wei Ting said, something will happen to the prince when he goes to Yangzhou this time. He may get an incurable disease. As the legitimate son, I may have a great chance of succeeding in the throne. When the time comes, I must send Li Zheng to the throne. Recruit them."

Li Tai was thinking as he walked.

Here I saw how powerful Li Zheng was.

It also reminded him that if he couldn't recruit them, then they would really have to fight each other in the future. Would he be Li Zheng's opponent?
