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

Chapter 331 Wei Zheng’s new position
"I second the proposal."

Qin Jiansheng's brother, Tang Jian.

All the courtiers who were good friends with Li Zheng stood up.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Although Li Zheng has meritorious service, it can't be considered as a contribution to the expansion of territory." Kong Xian stood up at this time, with a righteous look on his face.

Hear this.

Many people in the court looked at Kong Xian unkindly.

With such a great victory and such great joy, he actually dared to come out and talk nonsense.

Li Shimin, who was originally smiling, now had a cold expression on his brows.

"As far as I know."

"Zhenla's attack on Nanzhao was all because of the Zhao family and his son, and had nothing to do with the Zhenla royal family. This time our Tang Dynasty master became famous and put down the Zhenla rebellion, and the Zhenla royal family will be more loyal, and There is still a royal family in Nanzhao. We, the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty, send troops to bring justice to the Nanzhao royal family."

"In this way, all nations in the world will be shocked by our Tang Dynasty and will be even more in awe of our Tang Dynasty." Kong Xianyi said sternly.

To sum up, there is a meaning in his words.

The Tang Dynasty should not capture Zhenla and Nanzhao, but should return the conquered territories to the Zhenla and Nanzhao royal families, so that they would be even more grateful to the Tang Dynasty.

Hear this.

Li Shimin frowned.

If it weren't for his identity, Li Shimin would have wanted to slap Kong Xian twice.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still wanted to return the territory they conquered at the cost of many casualties. Is this a mental illness?

If he returned, how could he, Li Shimin, face the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought bloody battles.

"Wei Qing's advice is reasonable."

"Preach my will."

"Li Zheng of the Jin Dynasty is not hereditary."

"In addition, he will be promoted to the first level of officer, to the rank of hussar general, and to the rank of subordinate."

Li Shimin ignored Kong Xian's nonsense and faced Wei Zheng.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Wei Zheng and Qin Jiansheng immediately agreed.

"emperor..,"

Seeing that Li Shimin ignored him and promoted Li Zheng to a higher rank, Kong Xian became anxious and wanted to speak.

"Except."

"Hou Junji and all the generals of the Liangzhou Army have made great contributions."

"All are restored to their previous titles."

"Li Daozong has made great achievements. After the Zhenla and Nanzhao kingdoms are completely pacified, he will be named the Prince of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin continued to ignore Kong Xian and praised him loudly.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Most of the civil and military ministers in the court immediately agreed.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"These are the heads of the Zhao family and his son."

The first ordering soldier pointed at the box in the hands of the two soldiers behind him.

"Everyone can punish the rebellious ministers and traitors."

"Throw it into a mass grave." Li Shimin said coldly.

"I accept the decree." Several messengers said respectfully.

"The lands captured by Zhenla and Nanzhao need to be managed by our Tang court officials in order to determine the territory and stabilize the people's hearts."

"I need to choose two capable ministers to govern Zhenla and Nanzhao City."

"Wei Zheng, you are immediately willing to share my worries."

Li Shimin smiled and suddenly looked at Wei Zheng.

Hear the words.

With a sense of excitement, Wei Zheng knelt down directly facing Li Shimin: "My lord, I am willing to serve as the emperor and bring shame to the Tang Dynasty."

"You govern Zhenla for the Tang Dynasty. Nanzhao still needs a capable minister. Do you have any loyal ministers to recommend?" Li Shimin smiled and asked Wei Zheng.

"I really recommend someone." "It's just that this person has been dismissed from office and is at home, but he has always cared about the court and the world..."

"He has conflicting words and may have flaws in his character. He is too upright and too conceited."

"But there is no doubt about his ability."

Wei Zheng said respectfully.

"I know who you are talking about." Li Shimin smiled slightly and nodded: "Where is he now?"

"Back to the emperor, he lives on the outskirts of Chang'an City and has not left." Wei Zheng replied immediately.

"You will bring him to Tai Chi Hall to see me tonight." Li Shimin said slowly.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Wei Zheng kowtowed and was very excited.

In this court, although he is known for his uprightness and does not form cliques with others or seek personal gain from others, he is only an admonishing official after all, with a second-rank official position. Although he has a high outlook on the world, in this Chang'an court That's it.

He is now waiting for an opportunity, and now, it is the opportunity he is looking for.

As long as Zhenla and Nanzhao are properly managed and incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, he will have made great achievements.

Not surprisingly, Li Shimin wanted to reuse him.

"How could this be?"

Kong Xian felt very unhappy when he saw Wei Zheng being reused.

Although he is a prince in the court, but because of his family background, he has no real power. What he has is the so-called reputation, and this reputation has suffered since the words "Xiu Jiangbiao" appeared. It was a huge blow, even if it has been suppressed by him now, but if it is ignited again, the reputation of his Kong family will never be restored.

"Preach my will."

"Let Li Zheng and Li Daozong speed up the army's attack and end the war as soon as possible."

"The supply of food and grass to the Ministry of Household Affairs must not be interrupted. I don't want the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who are on the battlefield to suffer from food shortages."

"The Ministry of War is always paying attention to the war and Li Zheng's military reports. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."

"All right."

“That’s the end of today’s court meeting.”

"Dismiss the dynasty."

Li Shimin waved his hand, turned around and left the hall.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

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

The meeting dispersed.

Kong Xian's face was very ugly.

"Master Kong, you shouldn't have spoken just now."

Su Tan walked to Kong Xian's side and said with a very ugly expression.

"What shouldn't you say?"

"As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't I give advice? But the emperor didn't even pay attention to me." Kong Xian hadn't realized the problem yet, and Li An was still the same one with a sense of resentment.

"This time when we, the Tang Dynasty, sent troops, the emperor made it clear that he wanted to annex Zhenla and Nanzhao, and planned a famous annexation."

"You actually want to support the two royal families. I, the Tang Dynasty, will withdraw our troops."

"You have violated the Emperor's taboo."

"Fortunately, the emperor does not have the same experience as you, otherwise you will be severely punished." Su Tan said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this.

Kong Xian was thunderstruck, and his expression suddenly changed.

"But...but Zhenla and Nanzhao are vassals of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it natural for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to rescue them?"

"Why annex them? This...this is so inconsistent with the reputation of our Tang Dynasty." Kong Xian said with an ugly expression.

"Master Kong, do you think reputation can be used to explain everything?"

"The expansion of the Tang Dynasty is in the interests of the country. By annexing these two effects, we, the Tang Dynasty, can obtain more resources. Is it really comparable to the prestige?"

"Besides, our Tang Dynasty has a good reputation this time. Even Fanbang can't find anything wrong with it."

"This battle was fought so beautifully, but you still dare to offend the emperor. You should be careful what you say next time." Su Tan reminded seriously.

After all, he was on his grandson's side, so he naturally wanted to remind him.
