Chapter 512 Because He Worth It! (Please subscribe!)
Hearing Jiang Wenjian's words, Emperor Tang wanted to laugh.

Looking at Jiang Wenchai, his eyes were cold and he said: "Jiang Wenchai, you really don't feel backache while standing and talking!"

"........."

These words startled Jiang Wen into a cold sweat.

It turned out that he had been admonishing him many times, and even though Emperor Tang didn't want to see him, he would still call him "Jiang Aiqing".

After speaking, Emperor Tang stood up, looked down at the officials and said, "Are you thinking the same as him?"

He didn't even bother to raise his hand to point to Jiang Wen to pick it up, but the officials are not stupid, so they can naturally know who Emperor Tang is talking about.

But at this time, no one made a sound.

Even the censors who admired and admired Jiang Wenjian just now were rarely silent, because they felt the anger of Tang Emperor, which had never happened before. At this time, it is better not to get into trouble again...

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wenqian wailed even more in his heart, and couldn't help but despise the censors who were fighting side by side with him just now, but he had no choice but to wait for Emperor Tang to speak.

"You can't say that it's both emotional and reasonable, right? Then I'll talk to you today, whether it's reasonable or not!"

After saying this, Emperor Tang sat back and said coldly: "You said that you can just send a civil servant to calm down the refugees. Then when I asked who could help me solve my problems, where were you?"

"........."

Seeing Jiang Wen pick up a livid face and not speak, Emperor Tang roared again: "Ah? Where were you all at that time?"

The officials were silent like cicadas, and the air was freezing cold.

"Don't you dare to say it, right? Then I'll tell you! You were the same as now, shrinking your head and not even daring to say a word! You can speak one by one on weekdays, but why did you talk to the dumb when I needed you?" Is it the same? Come, come, come, Jiang Wenjian, tell me that you think the matter of the homeless people is so simple, why didn't you take the initiative to help me solve my problems at that time?"

Tang Emperor's accusation was shot down like a machine gun. It was better for the others to stand behind, but Jiang Wenjian, who was the first to bear the brunt, was shot and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

Emperor Tang ignored him, and continued: "During the most difficult time of the Tang Dynasty, when I was in the most difficult time, Zhang Twelve always stepped forward to help me solve my problems regardless of gains or losses—"

Speaking of this, Emperor Tang himself felt a little embarrassed. Zhang Twelve is good, but there is one thing. Every time he is asked to do something, he will put forward conditions first. The word "regardless of gains and losses" has nothing to do with him. relation!
But at this time, we should focus on setting up Zhang Twelve's example and educating these civil servants, so the Emperor Tang continued: "The last time the three princes of the Wu Kingdom came to Datang to challenge, who dared to fight? Who could? In the end, it was not because of Zhang Twelve One person turned the world around and turned defeat into victory? Otherwise, Datang would have been the laughing stock of all countries, and Yilan married Wu, so why do you have the face to speak here? It’s the same this time, food prices in the south have skyrocketed, and refugees are rampant , the relationship is intricate, is it so easy to solve? If it is so easy, you are so shrewd, wouldn't you rush to go there long ago?"

All the officials were blushed by the Tang Emperor's continuous questioning, how could any of them dare to answer?

"At that time, Zhang Twelve made such a great contribution. I just named a small county magistrate, which is worthy of his great contribution? At that time, none of you jumped out and said that love and reason would not work. Now Zhang Twelve made another great contribution, and I was going to reward both of them, but you all jumped out, hehe, you are truly worthy ministers!"

"My lord is guilty!"

The censors who spoke before also knelt down.

Emperor Tang also ignored them, this group of scumbags, if they don't get angry, they really think they are pretty and talkative!

"Jiang Wenchao, I'm going to ask you again now, is it reasonable or unreasonable to designate Zhang Twelve as the great general protecting the country?"

Jiang Wenjian was sweating profusely, but reason told him that as a man who dared to speak up, he couldn't be cowardly at this time, and what awaited him next was endless darkness!
He gritted his teeth and decided to give it another go!
"Your Majesty, the old minister is confused and has forgotten the great achievements of Uncle Zhang's defeat of the third prince of Wu State - but this is only reasonable!"

Jiang Wenjian took a deep breath and prepared to make a last effort: "But Zhang Xianbo has been promoted to two ranks, which is unfair to other generals!"

"Your Majesty, I don't think so!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heroic Mo Li stood up from the crowd and said in a cold voice.

All the officials looked at her. Mo Li was also not in Jingzhou some time ago, nor did he go to court. Today was the first time the officials saw her in so many days, so they couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Looking at it like this, they were surprised to find that this female general, who used to look cold, has changed a bit now. They can't tell what the change is. The only thing that can be seen is that she seems to be more beautiful...

Mo Li's words were like a loud slap on Jiang Wenchai's face. Hearing this, Emperor Tang's stern face finally eased a little, and asked Mo Li with a smile, "General Mo, what do you say?"

Mo Li's eyes were clear, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "This time I escorted County Uncle Zhang to Jinling. The journey was difficult and dangerous. Others don't know it, but I know it all!"

So he told the story of encountering killers one after another on the road.

Mo Li is no worse than Zhang Twelve in telling stories, and she doesn't know how to add embellishments, but even so, the things she told still made the officials sweat for them!

Especially Zhang Guogong and Mo Guogong couldn't bear to hear that their grandson and daughter had gone through such a difficult scene.

After finishing speaking, Mo Li glanced at the civil servants who had just appealed, then looked at Emperor Tang, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, the road is so dangerous, as a foreigner going to Jinling to deal with food prices and the flow of refugees, The degree of hardship and danger can be seen! The pressure that Uncle Zhang is under is so great that we can't imagine, so the canonization of Uncle Zhang as the General Protecting the Country, not only has no objection, but also very much agrees, because he is worth it!"

Because he deserves it!

Mo Li said this out of feeling.

She actually didn't want to come back so early, but in order to take care of Princess Yilan, she had to come back again. Along the way, her thoughts were all in the south, all she was thinking about was Zhang Twelve, and every night she had nightmares about Zhang Twelve. Distress scenes, I forgot how many times I was awakened by bad news in my dreams...

It turns out that caring about a person's feelings is harder than fighting on the battlefield...

A trip to the south caused many things to happen between her and Zhang Twelve, and these things also caused some subtle changes in the relationship between the two of them, so now her whole heart is tied to Zhang Twelve, and now some people say Of course she would not agree to Zhang Twelve's bad words!

"Good! Well said!"

After Mo Li finished speaking, Emperor Tang was the first to say "yes", and then the other officials reacted and immediately followed suit.

If you say something against it at this time, it will be really funny.

…………

Mo Li withdrew, because this matter seemed to be a certainty, and the next step was to wait for the Tang Emperor to announce it.

Tang Emperor looked at Jiang Wenchai and others who were mourning his concubine, and felt extremely relieved.

He thought about it, found some negative teaching materials and beat it. Although he could directly order Zhang Twelve to be canonized, it seemed a bit inappropriate, as if the canonization was obtained by suppressing opposing opinions, so Tang Emperor Going to hear some more pros.

He stood up and glanced at the officials, then said with a smile: "My dear friends, do you have any opinions on Zhang Xianbo being canonized?"

At this time, Mu Taishi stood up.

Tang Emperor's current performance is very obvious, he just wants to find someone to say good things, as a person with decades of experience in court, this matter is more difficult than Grand Master Mu.

Zhang Guogong and Mo Guogong must be very happy to say good things, but because Zhang Twelve is inextricably linked with them, it is not good for them to come forward at this time.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two old gods stood still in the crowd, and at this time, Grand Master Mu stepped forward.

Mu Taishi is a relatively special existence in the Tang dynasty.

In terms of status, as a grand master, he is a civil servant, but what is special is that he is not a member of the civil servant camp. On the contrary, Mu Taishi is very close to Zhang Guogong, who is in the military camp. The third generation's Zhang Twelve and Mu Xiangrong still have a marriage contract, so it seems that Grand Master Mu has a closer relationship with the general camp.

However, in the civil and military disputes in the court, Grand Master Mu seldom expresses his position. Generally, he does not support or oppose the abstention status, so regardless of the civil and military camps, his attitude towards Grand Master Mu is similar, neither hostile nor close.

Therefore, it is very appropriate to say a few good words for Zhang Twelve in the capacity of Grand Master Mu!
Seeing Grand Master Mu come out, the Emperor Tang smiled even wider, waved his hand, and said to him, "What advice does Grand Master Mu have?"

Taishi Mu bowed to signal, and then said: "Your Majesty, I can't say that I have a high opinion, but I just talk about some of my opinions! But what I want to say next is just a family opinion. If you colleagues disagree, welcome to correct me!"

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and his posture was very low.

"Your Majesty, I remember that the last great general to protect the country in the Tang Dynasty was Duke Mo. Since Duke Mo became the Duke of the state, the position of the great general who protects the country has been vacant for some years, right?"

Emperor Tang nodded.

The Great General Protecting the Nation is a first-rank military position, and the person who can be elected to this position must be a dragon and phoenix among the people, and only a general who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty can be qualified.

Since Emperor Tang succeeded to the throne, there have been two great generals protecting the country in the Tang Dynasty.

The first one is the current Zhang Guogong. Later, Zhang Guogong was old and was named the Duke of the State, so he voluntarily resigned from the official position of the General Protecting the Country, so the Emperor Tang named Mo Guogong, who was not the Protector of the Country at that time, as the Duke of the State. Protector General.

It was only later that Duke Mo made many military exploits, and he was too old to fight bloody enemies on the battlefield, so Emperor Tang bestowed on him the title of Lord Protector. years.

Because Mo Guogong is the candidate for the last national protection general, and his daughter Mo Li is already a second-rank national town general at a young age. Many people think that Mo Li will be the next national protection sooner or later. The great general can be regarded as an inheritance.

So today Emperor Tang suddenly wanted to put Zhang Twelve in that position, and everyone couldn't accept it.

After receiving the affirmative reply from Emperor Tang, Grand Master Mu continued: "Today's Great Tang, Liang State is in the west, and Wu State is in the east. In recent years, we have been eyeing Great Tang. We should not take it lightly! As the highest military general, The position of the Great General Protecting the Country must be filled by someone, not only to fill in the gaps, but more importantly, to reassure the people and officers and soldiers, and to make those foreign countries that have ideas about the Great Tang fearful!"

Emperor Tang thought of this when he canonized Zhang Twelve, and more importantly, Emperor Tang's health is not very good recently, he made the worst plan for himself, and was also thinking, if he is really gone, everyone Where should Tang go?

The most worrying thing is naturally the tense relationship between the crown prince and Zhang Twelve. During this time, the crown prince has been by his side. Through his observation, he feels that the crown prince has changed from the original, without the original arrogant and unruly character, which still makes him feel uncomfortable. He is relieved.

Therefore, he has to quickly raise Zhang Twelve's status to a high enough level. Even if he is a little unhappy with Zhang Twelve when the crown prince succeeds, but in view of Zhang Twelve's status, he dare not act rashly and can only adopt a gentle strategy.

If so, he would have no regrets.

Emperor Tang nodded: "Master Mu is right, let's continue!"

Taishi Mu laughed again: "As for the reasoning Mr. Jiang said just now, I don't think you need to care about it! All the officials of the Tang Dynasty look at their ability, not their age and experience! Tang said that there are all benefits and no harm! This further shows that His Majesty employs people based on ability, as long as they have the ability, they can work for Datang! At that time, those talented young people will definitely come enthusiastically. It is a blessing to the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty, the minister is finished!"

Grand Master Mu walked back straight after finishing speaking, clean and tidy.

Emperor Tang was very satisfied with Grand Master Mu's performance, and asked again: "All my loves, who else has any objections?"

All the officials were silent, and those who agreed were happy in their hearts, and those who disagreed would not dare to raise their opinions after being beaten to death. Emperor Tang's performance today made it clear that he wanted to push Zhang Twelve up, and whoever objected would follow him Fight against—who would dare to oppose this?
Glancing around, his eyes finally landed on the prince, and he said, "Yizhi, what do you think of this matter?"

The prince didn't expect that he would be named, so he came out in a daze, adjusted a little, Shi Shiran said: "My son thinks that the emperor's approach is right! Zhang Xianbo lived and died for my Tang Sheji, regardless of gains and losses. If Wouldn’t it be chilling if the father couldn’t reward him heavily? If that’s the case, it’s not only Zhang Xianbo’s heart that’s chilling, but also the hearts of the people in the world, so I thought that the father’s canonization of Zhang County uncle was unexpected , but within reason!"
