--------------------------------------------

The voice of the Xuanzhi eunuch was very loud, and more than 3000 court officials in and outside the huge Xuanzheng Hall heard the award.Many officials were stunned. The 21-year-old Sangong and the envoy were in charge of the three township Jiedu envoys alone, and they even had pictures of Lingyan Pavilion.

Many Beijing officials with gray hair, all in their 80s and [-]s, feel that they have spent most of their lives in vain.Their official careers have been ups and downs all their lives, and most of them didn't even make it to the fifth rank, even the light scarlet robes and whitebait bags on their bodies, which were only rewarded by the imperial decree because they were old and senior.

But Li Jing is only 21 years old. He is neither a relative of the emperor nor a wealthy family. He was born as a farmer, and his ancestors were only a small frontier military school. What kind of smoke is rising from the grave of his Li family? Unexpectedly, at the age of 21, he was already ranked among the three men, and he was already in Lingyan Pavilion.

Zou, the newly-promoted censor Wang Zou couldn't help but want to stand up and oppose, but soon his colleagues stopped him.The colleague gestured to him with his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned towards those Xiangguo and Sigui who stood under Dan Chi.

The ministers of the political affairs hall headed by Lu Xie sat there peacefully, and none of Lu Xie, Zheng Tian, ​​Wang Duo, Yu Cong, and Li Wei objected.Instead of objecting, they all smiled.Looking at the emperor's side, the four eunuchs Tian Lingzi, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, and Zhang Tai also remained silent.

Anyone with a little discernment can see that this imperial decree was approved by the Zhengshitang and the four nobles.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty ruled the world with all the princes, and in the late Tang Dynasty, he had to add the powerful eunuchs in the palace.On the contrary, the emperor's authority is the smallest. The imperial decree is not what the emperor says. It has to be approved by the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council before the imperial decree can be obtained.Without the consent of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, the emperor's words will not be recognized by the law at all, and the three provinces will not complete this process.

Now that Li Jing's reward is a solemn imperial decree, it means that after the consent of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, the imperial edict was drafted by the Zhongshu Province, rejected and deliberated by the sect, and finally sent to the Minister of Ministers for implementation of the imperial edict.There is not only the national seal on it, but also the political writing instructions of the ministers of the political affairs hall, and all the half of the three provinces have signed and stamped on it. This is an extremely formal decree.

Even if Wang Zou had an opinion, it was useless at all.

Amidst the astonishment of the officials, Tian Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief.

The officials below only said that the imperial decree awarded too high a reward, but they didn't know it. They had never managed politics very much and handed over all political affairs to Tian Lingzi, who was dealt with by the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council. , but very rarely personally involved.And the reward proposed at the beginning was even much higher than this, and the emperor actually wanted to give Li Jing the title of king.Although it was only a county king, there were many kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, but this still shocked several Xiangguo and the Privy Council in the Zhengshitang, as well as the officials of the Xuanwei North and South Courts.

Li Jing did have credit, but his credit was nothing.In fact, according to the rules, Li Jing's original award has already exceeded the limit.Think about the general Gao Pian, in terms of merit, he is much higher than Li Jing.If Li Jing could be crowned king, then Gao Pian should have been crowned king long ago.

After a lot of persuasion from the crowd, the emperor was unmoved.This young emperor also admired Li Jing a little bit, just like he did to Tian Lingzi back then.Regardless of other people's reactions, in the end, Tian Lingzi, the little emissary of Mafang, was promoted to the hottest position today, and he even called him Father.

Although Li Xuan is young, he can be stubborn, but no one can persuade him.

At the time of Guan Jian, Tian Lingzi suddenly had an idea in his heart.He smiled and suggested to the emperor that such a talented person as Li Jing should indeed share more of the burden, but it is not appropriate to be named the county king all at once, after all, he is too young.However, Li Jing can be exchanged for some rewards.For example, let Li Jing concurrently serve as the envoy of Zhen[***], Pinglu Army, Lu Long Army, Datong Army, Chengde Army, Yiwu Army, Yichang Army, and Weibo Eight Towns.

As soon as this proposal came out, all the ministers of the Zhengshitang and several other eunuchs were shocked.

Even the Son of Heaven was shocked, because this reward is nothing compared to the county king.

The five towns of Lulong, Yiwu, Chengde, Yichang, and Weibo together constitute all the territory east of Taihang and north of the Yellow River.If you add Ziqing's Pinglu Town and Liaonan Town [***], and Daibei's Datong Army, then Li Jing's jurisdiction has already occupied more than half of the Kanto.

No matter how good the emperor is to Li Jing, he knows the importance of it at this time.

As a result, Li Xuan was the first to refuse to agree.

However, Tian Lingzi didn't completely retreat. He seemed to have reached an agreement with Li Jing, and he tried his best to fight for Li Jing from the emperor.Finally, Lu Xie, the prime minister who got Tian Lingzi's signal and also followed suit, was added to fight for it together.Zheng Tian, ​​Yu Cong, Wang Duo, Simen Sigong and others were all stunned.

When they hadn't come and fully figured out what was going on, because they didn't object, the emperor finally agreed to Tian Lingzi's request, not to make Li Jing the county king for the time being, but let Li Jing be the town[* **] In addition to being the Jiedu envoy, he also served as the Jiedu envoy of the Daibei Datong Army and the Lulong Jiedu envoy of Youzhou.

Finally, Tian Lingzi took the initiative to propose to Li Xuan that Li Jing be given the official positions of Situ, Zhongshu Ling, and Tongping Zhangshi.

At this time, people like Zheng Tian, ​​Yu Cong, Wang Duo, and Simon Sigong finally understood.

Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie did not reach any agreement with Li Jing, and even Tian Lingzi did not really reconcile with Li Jing. Tian Lingzi played a more ruthless trick against Li Jing.This time, he no longer confronted Li Jing head-on, but played a dirty trick.

He wants to kill Li Jing!

No matter how good Li Jing is, he has worked hard and made great achievements, but he is only 21 years old, and he doesn't have much foundation.If Li Jing was just handsome in front of a town, it wouldn't be too much.But now, Tian Lingzi took advantage of the emperor's nonsense and brought Li Jing directly to the forefront.

It is very insidious to let Li Jing serve as an envoy for several festivals.If the emperor really agreed, it would definitely make the generals of the entire Tang Dynasty jealous, and it would also make the current town commanders resentful.For example, in Youzhou Town, although Li Jing had severely injured Lu Longjun before, he also took advantage of the internal conflicts among the Youzhou soldiers.If Li Jing directly became the Marshal of Youzhou, Hundred Thousand Lu Longjun would never agree.

In addition, Song Wei of Ziqing Town is even Li Jing's adoptive father, and Song Wei was already dissatisfied with cutting Dengzhou from Ziqing Town earlier.If Li Jing wants to replace Song Wei, I'm afraid there will definitely be conflicts between them.If a few more feudal towns are added, it will not be a good thing for Li Jing, but a great disaster.

Although at the moment he only serves as the Datong Army and Lu Long Army concurrently, Tian Lingzi's goal has been fulfilled.

But by this time, even if they objected, it was too late.

As soon as the decree of reward was announced, Li Jing had already thought of Guan Jian after being shocked.If Youzhou heard the news, what would happen?Will Li Keju be willing to be suppressed by him? How will the other forces in Youzhou who opposed Li Keju react now?

Even Li Jing, the military governor of the Datong Army, was unwilling to take over. After all, Daibei has been beaten into ruins and has been robbed of all his people. What will he do next? The north is far away from the south of Liaoning, and there is Youzhou in the middle. This is an enclave at all, and it is of no value to Li Jing now.

Coupled with the three additional titles of Situ, Zhongshuling, and Tongpingzhangshi, it is obvious that it is just nice, but it suddenly makes Li Jing a citron in his early years.

This is someone's plotting against him, Li Jing's eyes swept away, and he saw Tian Lingzi's smiling face became brighter.

But at this time, he had to accept it. This was an imperial decree that went through the emperor's opening, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the three provinces' complete procedures.Besides, he already understood that Tian Lingzi must be plotting against him in this matter, and the little emperor was used as a knife once.Rejecting now, not only can't push it away, but it will also hurt the little emperor's feelings.

Li Jing took the imperial decree and returned to his seat to sit down.The whole person began to think about countermeasures. Now that he has been shadowed by Tian Lingzi, others only see the surface of his beauty, but they don't know it. This is completely opposite to what he wants.He was on the cusp of the storm, and he was worried that the situation in Youzhou, which was finally calmed down, might change again.What's more important is that in the future, Zhen [***] might become the best in the world and be envied by everyone.

The following rewards are still going on, but most of the rewards are to add some titles to honor the official position.After all, the main rewards had already been awarded when they were still in Hedong, and this time it was just to add some glory and officials, and then some kabuki, dancers, and money.Although it also made the generals happy, but with Li Jing's astonishing reward in front, everything is a bit insignificant.

Especially Sage Mihaiwan, Shi Jingcun of Anqing, and Qi Bizhang of Qibibu. Previously, I saw that Tuoba Sigong was awarded the title of Xiasui Jiedu Envoy and Xiazhou Inspector, and Helian Duo was awarded the title of Tiande Army Jiedu Envoy and Fengzhou Inspector. , I have long been envious in my heart, this time I have been staring at the position of Jiedushi on behalf of the Peking University Tongjun, and now that the three of them have failed together, this position was actually taken away by Li Jing, and my heart suddenly felt aggrieved.

Li Jing finally heard that there was Xin Yu's conferment, but the governor of Sizhou returned to the capital after his tenure, and unexpectedly only got a vacant post as a general of Xiaowei, and did not get a real post.And even this vain job, Li Jing estimated that there was a big reason why the emperor was thinking about saving his life in Gaoling City.

He frowned tightly, feeling a surge of anger in his heart.This made him even more uncomfortable than being assassinated twice by Tian Lingzi.After all, now that he is rising every step of the way, it seems to others that he should be proud of himself.

"Damn it!" Li Jing cursed a few foul words in his heart. (To be continued.)
