Late Tang

(Chapter 8 has been delivered! Thanks to Inca's Sun Brothers for their monthly ticket support, continue to ask for monthly tickets!)

Tian Lingzi was wearing a purple official gown and a beam crown today, and when he stood there, he looked very dignified.Seeing Li Jing approaching, he greeted him with a smile.

"Marshal Li in Duke Qi's servant?" Tian Lingzi asked with a chuckle, while rubbing his pair of ambergris-soaked water. "Sure enough, he is the pillar of the country, handsome and extraordinary."

Li Jing looked at Tian Lingzi expressionlessly, but was a little surprised at the forbearance of the eunuch. He had assassinated him twice and was burned out by Li Jing just now, but now he still came forward with such a proactive smile.

"The commander-in-chief is still angry because of the previous incident? The commander-in-chief misunderstood me. There was some misunderstanding between us earlier, but we thought these things should be over, don't you think so?" Tian Lingzi's smile was a little dry.

He took the initiative to make peace in such a humble manner, but he felt that Li Jing was not his most urgent enemy now, and Li Jing's weight in the emperor's heart was beyond his expectations, so he wanted to go first. Make peace with Li Jing, in this way, you can gain some points in front of the emperor, so that you can concentrate on dealing with Ximen Sigong and others.But at the moment, the hot face actually has a cold butt, which makes him not annoyed.

Just when the smile on his face became more and more ugly, Li Jing burst out laughing suddenly, and even stretched out his hand to pat Tian Lingzi's purple robe full of flower fragrance a few times, "Tian Gong said that it fits a certain idea." A little misunderstanding, now that it is clarified, we should turn this page. After all, we are both ministers of the emperor, and we need to rely on each other in the future."

Hearing what Li Jing said, Tian Lingzi narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart trembled a little, and then he immediately showed a bright smile, grabbed Li Jing's hand, and the two of them walked forward happily, Talk and laugh.This made Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong, who had been secretly staring at the situation here from a distance, unavoidably disappointed for a while. They thought that there would be a fight between dragons and tigers, and a wonderful drama would be staged, but who knew that these two people could still laugh in the end.

But both of them are old foxes. Of course, they don't believe that Li Jing and Tian Lingzi can reconcile so quickly after going through so many things.There is only one real truth, and this is just a play for the emperor to see.

"Little fox!" Both Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong couldn't help but softly commented on Li Jing in their hearts.This guy really can't regard him as a martial artist. The performance just now is enough to make Xing Duo's veteran officials feel inferior.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhenguo and all the generals have an audience!" Tian Lingzi reported loudly in front of Yu Ren.

Li Xuan sat on the jade lap and stretched out his hands to lift the twelve crowns on the crown, and said excitedly: "Immediately announce that the commanders will come forward."

After Li Jing and Zheng Congxun and others came up, they immediately bowed to the mountain and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The voice was neat and loud, and Li Yan was very satisfied. He stretched out his right hand to support him, and said loudly: "My loves, please stand up!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing and the others thanked En for getting up and standing on both sides.

Li Xuan had already seen the young Li Jing among the commanders, and Li Jing was wearing a set of golden armor given by him.The first time he saw Li Jing, the little emperor fell in love with him.Li Jing is not only famous for his bravery, but also looks dignified, talented and heroic.Especially after wearing this golden armor, compared with the other commanders, he is even more outstanding.The other commanders-in-chief were either civil servants and soldiers. Even though they were wearing armor, they couldn't show that kind of heroic spirit.Either General Hu, Tuoba Sigong and others looked very different from the people of the Central Plains, with a left lapel hair and a messy beard, the young emperor didn't like it at first glance.Only Li Jing, who had the aura of a general and the elegance of a scholar, made the emperor very fond of him.

Li Xuan said kindly to Li Jing with a smile on his face: "Is Li Zhenguo feeling better?"

Li Jing hurriedly bowed: "Report to the emperor, and thanks to His Majesty's blessings, Weichen's health has recovered."

Li Xuan nodded and said: "When I heard you were assassinated in the palace, I couldn't sleep or eat in my heart. Fortunately, you finally recovered."

At this moment, Tian Lingzi said: "The old slave has already apologized to Li Zhenguo just now, the previous misunderstanding has been resolved, and we will definitely live in harmony in the future."

Li Xuan calmed down and was very satisfied when he heard this. "That's good, that's good. My father is the person I rely on most, and Li Zhenguo is the pillar of the country. Now you follow Zhao Guozhi's Lin Xiangru and Lian Po and become the peace of generals and prime ministers. I am very happy."

Afterwards, the emperor personally inspected the triumphant soldiers and horses in Yuluo, and took the prisoners of war to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors.

After all these things are done, it will be almost dusk.

Li Xuan climbed to the top of the Suzaku Gate in the imperial city, and publicly announced the decree, to all the soldiers and horses of the three divisions of the eight towns who were reviewed, and those who already had official ranks would all be promoted to the first rank, not to be added to the honorary rank.And those soldiers without official ranks also gave the towns two hundred to one thousand ranks to report blankly.Zhen [***] was the most favored by the emperor, Li Yan waved his hand, and directly asked the Ministry of War to give Li Jing [***] a thousand military rank officials who had come down from the ninth rank to accompany the vice-principal.

Although it was only the lowest rank of Wu San, and it was only a rank official rather than a service officer, it still shocked everyone.After all, such a small official can actually be appointed by Li Jing himself as a town commander, but there is still a huge difference between the conferment by the feudal shogunate and the conferment by the emperor himself.The difference between them is glory, which is bestowed by the Son of Heaven.

After the award, all the reviewing troops will go out of Mingde Gate along Zhuque Street and return to the Bashang camp.However, Li Jing and other officers from rank five and above could not leave, and they still had to participate in two important trips tonight.

First, the emperor will reward the generals of the triumphant towns in the Xuanzheng Hall, and then go to the state banquet hall Linde Hall to accept the banquet.

Originally, the award of the Golden Palace was to be awarded tomorrow morning, but the emperor Li Xuan seemed a little impatient, and ordered that the evening court be held today.

After Li Jing and others entered the palace, someone soon came to lead them to take a bath and change clothes.Li Jing also changed his armor, and put on the purple robe of Sanliang Jinxian crown.

Jin Diance was appointed in the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace.

Xuanzheng Hall is the second largest hall in Daming Palace in Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty. It is located behind Hanyuan Hall and in front of Zichen Hall.In front of the hall is the Xuanzheng Gate with three gates side by side. Outside the east corridor are the Menxia Province and the History Museum.Xuanzheng Hall is surrounded by corridors and verandas to form a huge palace with a width of more than one hundred feet.

In Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Hall is not the largest.

The Xuanzheng Hall is called the Zhongchao, and it is the place where the emperor meets his ministers, listens to politics, and holds Shuowang worship.

The largest hall of the Daming Palace is the Hanyuan Hall, also known as the Outer Dynasty. It is the first hall of the Daming Palace. Important national celebrations are held in the Hanyuan Hall.However, the canonization and other grand ceremonies are generally held in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Normally, the Xuanzheng Palace only had two morning courts in one month, but today it unexpectedly held the late courts. Officials above the ninth rank in the capital, and foreign officials in Beijing, were all treated as such. The scene was extremely grand.

When the group of officials entered the hall, officials from the third rank and above all had seats to sit and listen to the government, while officials above the fourth rank stood behind, arranged in order of three provinces, six departments, nine ministers, five temples, and scattered officials.

There were whispers in the main hall, discussing the content of today's evening court, and there was only one topic in the evening court today, which was to reward the three departments of the eight towns for their achievements in destroying Shatuo on behalf of Beiping.

Tian Lingzi stood beside the emperor's throne, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind, but from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the young man sitting under Dan Chi from time to time.He wears a three-beam Jinxian crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and a purple robe.His eyes were calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Today, this young man stole the limelight.His Zhen[***] army is at its peak and extremely sturdy, even stronger than the Shence Army.And the emperor loves this person even more than before. Previously, on the Tianjie, he had the honor of riding a horse and sword, and was young. The position of Duke of Qi.And with the emperor's youthful heart and surname, he likes Li Jing so much now, I'm afraid that Li Jing will have more rewards in today's Golden Palace.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

The young supervisor in the hall gave a long shout, and the officials stood up one after another. The hall was very quiet, and Li Jing also stood up. He stood with his hands down, waiting for the emperor to come.The more favored the emperor is, the more low-key Li Jing is now.

After Li Xuan arrived, after some etiquette for the emperor and ministers, he said to the ministers with some excitement: "The soldiers and horses of the eight towns and three tribes wiped out the Shatuo rebellion, replaced the north with might, and revived our great Tang Tianwei. Reward. I have decided to invite envoy Zheng Congxuan to add the title of Grand Master to Shangzhu Kingdom and give [-] guan in money. To recruit Deputy Envoy Yu Yu, he will also be awarded the title of Taiwei and Shangzhu Kingdom to give [-] guan in money."

The supervisor in the palace read out Li Xuan's will in a loud voice.

Li Xuan nodded, and said again: "This time the generals were able to put down the Shatuo rebels and win the Great Victory in Daibei. Although the soldiers of the towns have to use their lives, Li Jing, the governor of the town [***], has made great achievements and should be the number one. One. I want to reward Li Jing very much today, Xuan Li Jing stepped forward."

"Xuanzhen[***] Jiedu envoy Li Jing stepped forward to accept the seal!"

Li Jing got up, went out to the bottom of the jade steps, knelt down and listened to the seal.

"Minister Li Jing listens to the seal!"

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and nodded to the supervisor in the palace. The supervisor in the palace immediately stepped forward, opened a jade box on the imperial case, and took out a copy of the imperial decree that had been drawn up.The imperial decree was read out by the eunuch, and there was a Zhongshu Sheren standing next to him to remind the eunuch to prevent the eunuch who announced the decree from making a wrong sentence or encountering an unknown word.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an imperial edict: General Zuo Xiaowei, General Fuguo, Shangzhu State, Anton Duhufu Daduhu, Dengzhou Governor, Zhen[***] Jiedushi, and the provincial servant under the school gate , Duke Li Jing of the State of Qi is loyal to the country, utterly loyal, courageous and resourceful, led the town [***] to participate in the Beiping rebellion, and bravely killed the enemy. Now, Li Jing, Situ, and Zhongshu Ling are specially granted, and they are in the same office as Zhongshu. They worship Zhen [***] Jiedushi, Datong Army Jiedushi, and Lu Longjun Jiedushi, and the portrait graphics Lingyan Pavilion! Add Shiyi One thousand households will be sealed off with solid food."

Hearing this result, Li Jing himself was stunned, and he didn't react until he heard the supervisor in the palace loudly remind him to accept the order to thank him.

"My minister Li Jing took the decree to thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" (To be continued.)
