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

Chapter 50 Li Shimin appointed Li Zheng as a third-grade general.

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"May our Tang Dynasty last forever!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

After hearing the news of Li Jing's victory, the civil and military officials of the entire court also acted in unison to congratulate him.

"Li Zheng!"

"Yes, it's Li Zheng again!"

"Li Yaoshi mentioned this Li Zheng separately in the victory reports twice. It seems that he is really the lucky star of our Tang Dynasty. He led the vanguard army, won consecutive battles, pursued Yugu Changdu for 700 miles, and broke through the last royal city of the Turks."

"In addition to the fact that Jieli Khan was captured alive last time, such military achievements must be rewarded heavily!"

Li Shimin was excited and thought of Li Zheng.

This is Li Zheng’s name.

Li Shimin had already heard the news twice.

When he heard Li Zheng's name for the first time, he was a little curious and asked Wang Fangyi to investigate your real file.

Although I was impressed that he could achieve such a feat at the age of fifteen, I felt that Li Zheng was just a capable general.

after all.

Li Shimin himself was still in a weak position, but he took command of the three armies and was invincible against the princes of all parties.

There were also a number of good generals under his command, such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Luo Shixin, etc.

Although Li Zheng left an impression on him, it wasn't too heavy.

But today.

Li Zheng's name appeared again on Li Jing's victory report, which made Li Shimin pay special attention.

He knew Li Jing, and his subordinate's name had appeared in his previous victory reports, but it appeared again and again.

It can only be said that this Li Zheng is really outstanding, and Li Jing appreciates him very much.

It was revealed between the lines that he, as the emperor, should be given a special award.

After all, within the scope of Li Jing's authority, he could only be promoted to the fifth-rank official position, and any higher rank must be personally approved by the emperor.

Li Shimin understood what Li Jing meant.

"Father, this Li Zheng has achieved unparalleled merits for the Tang Dynasty at such a young age. As my father said, he deserves a reward, and he deserves a heavy reward!"

"Not only Li Zheng, but also generals such as Wei Guogong and Zhang Gongjin will be rewarded heavily."

Prince Li Chengqian, holding the good news in his hand, looked at his excited father and bowed.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty spoke in agreement one after another.

"My dear friends, this time Li Zheng has made great achievements again. In addition to the last time he captured Jieli Khan alive and defeated the Turkic royal court, how should I reward him?"

Li Shimin clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Manchao Wenwu Dao with a smile.

"Your Majesty."

"We, the Tang Dynasty, insist that His Majesty establish a reward and punishment system for military merit. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have delinquency will be punished."

"This Li Zheng, who has made such great achievements in this Northern Expedition, deserves to be promoted to one level as an encouragement."

Sun Tai, the fourth-grade Qianniu Guards general, was the first to stand up and speak loudly.

This Gongsun Tai was also a young man. He was the empress because of his aunt. His father, Sun Wuji, was a first-rank official. At a young age, he served as the emperor's personal guard, Qianniuwei General, and was a fourth-rank official.

I heard that at a young age, Li Zheng had already served as General Dingyuan of the fifth rank. The reason why he stood up was to hope that the emperor would rise to the rank of Li Zheng, which would be General Xuanwei of the fourth rank.

He is still one level lower than himself. If he becomes an official in the same court as him in the future, he will not be lower than others.

He was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but he didn't know that this Li Zheng was the businessman Li Zheng who was ridiculed by him and the Qin brothers in Changzhi a few months ago.

Little does he know that Qin Wan'er, whom he has been thinking about deeply, is already pregnant with Li Zheng's child.

If he knew, he would definitely try his best to prevent Li Zheng's promotion.

This guy must not be taken advantage of.

After hearing Changsun Tai's proposal, some ministers also agreed one after another for the sake of the empress and Changsun Wuji's face.

At this time.

Prince Li Chengqian smiled and said:
  "Capturing Jieli Khan, rescuing General Su Dingfang, conquering the Turkic royal court, plus this 700-mile chase to annihilate Yuguqamdu Khan, and leading the vanguard army to conquer the last royal city of the Turks, I think it is too little to be promoted to the first level. "Oh!"

"The prince thinks, how should this Li Zheng be rewarded?"

Li Shimin looked at Prince Li Chengqian with a smile and asked.

Obviously.

Li Shimin was also not very satisfied with Chang Sun Tai's proposal to promote Li Zheng to the first level.

When the prince said that the reward for Li Zheng was too small, he immediately became interested.

"Li Zheng encountered the Turkic army and won many battles. In particular, he led 10,000 vanguard troops to conquer the vast royal city guarded by tens of thousands of Turkic troops. This shows that his ability to command troops is outstanding and he is the best among the young generals of the Tang Dynasty."

"Such a capable general, so young, and so accomplished in battle, the imperial court should reuse him."

"My son proposed that Li Zheng be promoted to two levels of official rank. In addition to showing that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to meritorious officials, it also uses Li Zheng as an example to tell the world that in our Tang Dynasty, as long as those who have made meritorious service to the country, no matter what As long as he has the ability, the imperial court will definitely reuse him."

"By doing this, you can show your father's kindness and majesty, and you can also show the national prestige and style of the Tang Dynasty."

Prince Li Chengqian's words are correct and strict.

"it is good!"

"well said!"

"However, since the prince talks about showing off the prestige and elegance of the Tang Dynasty, I feel that promotion to two levels is still low."

"I need to be promoted to the third level to show the importance and favor our royal family pays to meritorious ministers."

As soon as the prince Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shimin took over and directly promoted the two levels mentioned by Li Chengqian to the third level.

"Yin Kaishan."

Li Shimin looked at one of the generals.

"The minister is here."

Yin Kaishan, acting Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up.

Originally, the Minister of War was Li Jing, Duke of Wei. Because of this Northern Expedition, Li Jing served as the general manager of the Northern Expedition.

So Yin Kaishan, the minister of the Ministry of War, acted as the Minister of the Ministry of War and was responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War.

"You immediately draw up a decree. Li Zheng, Dingyuan General of the Northern Expeditionary Army, has been promoted to the third rank of General Guide because of his repeated extraordinary achievements in the Northern Expedition to Turks."

"I hope he will make new contributions to our country in the future."

"Chin this."

Li Shimin announced with a majestic look.

"The minister leads the order."

Yin Kaishan immediately took the order.

"Prince."

"Li Zheng has awarded a reward. How should the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, and the deputy general manager, Zhang Gongjin, be rewarded?"

Li Shimin looked at Prince Li Chengqian and asked with a smile.

"Reply to Father."

"Deputy General Zhang Gongjin can be promoted to the first rank of Hussars General."

"As for the Duke of Wei... he has already served as the right servant of the first-rank minister. He also leads the military department and the inspection school. He ranks first among the generals. I really can't think of anything to reward him."

"When the army returns to the court, it will be up to my father to decide."

Prince Li Chengqian replied truthfully.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded calmly.

As the prince said, Duke Li Jing of the Kingdom of Wei has already been appointed as the right servant of the first rank of Shangshu. He is also the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Secretary of the Inspection School, ranking first among the military generals.

The next reward is unless it is the king of the opposite sex.

However, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty had never made someone of the opposite sex king, and Li Shimin had no intention of setting a precedent.

It is understandable that the prince could not answer the question of conferring a reward on Li Jing.

Even Emperor Zhenguan himself was in trouble at this time.
