Yipin Tang

Chapter 515

Xue Rengui's formidable strength shocked everyone, even he himself was frightened by his actions. As soon as he let go, the deformed copper lion hit the ground with a "boom", and the jade floor of the Tai Chi Hall suddenly cracked.

Instead of being angry, Li Erfei laughed and said, "Okay! Sure enough, a hero is born as a boy!"

Only then did Xue Rengui realize that he had destroyed the ground of the Tai Chi Hall, and he looked nervously at Li Er above.

Li Erchao gave him a satisfied smile, and said, "I said before, if you can lift the bronze lion, you will be granted the title of General of Tianfu, and you will be able to participate in the competition of ability users in two days."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Taiji Hall thought of a gasp. The word "Tianfu" is very important. Those who can put this word on top are the top military officers, including Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, veterans who have fought with him for many years. Received such an honor.

In fact, "General Tianfu" is a weakened version of "General Tiance", and the position of General Tiance is higher than that of the prince and Sangong, second only to the title of the first three divisions of civil servants in name. The only person who ever got the position of General Tiance was Li Shimin.

Tiance Admiral Li Shimin, who was appointed in the fourth year of Wude, is the third person in the Tang Dynasty under the current emperor Gaozu Li Yuan and Prince Li Jiancheng. Now he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Although General Tianfu is not as good as General Tiance, he is still the top military officer, which is enough to show that Li Er attaches great importance to Xue Rengui. Even Wang Xiang did not expect that Li Er would give Xue Rengui such great favor.

Xue Rengui didn't know what kind of official position Tianfu General was, so he asked Wang Xiang in a low voice, "Brother Wang, what is Tianfu General?"

Wang Xiang reacted from his surprise when he heard his question, and whispered: "It's a very big official, bigger than most of the people here."

Xue Rengui asked excitedly: "Is that a bigger official than Brother Wang?"

Wang Xiang was stunned when he heard the words, and felt a little depressed. Li Er was always stingy when he appointed him an official and noble, and now he is only a fifth-rank judge, plus a title of Marquis of Jiayuan, not to mention the relationship with General Tianfu. Compared with the position, everyone who can stand in the Tai Chi Hall for discussion has a higher official position than him.

Thinking of this, he is quite envious of Xue Rengui. Although he has no interest in officialdom, he is quite prestigious to have the title of General Tianfu, and he can brag to his father and the others when he returns to the end of the world.

Wang Xiang coughed lightly and said: "Theoretically speaking, General Tianfu is older than my official, but I am your elder brother, so even if you become General Tianfu, I am still older than you, you still have to listen to me, you know?" ?”

Xue Rengui nodded excitedly and said, "Well, I will definitely listen to Brother Wang. If Uncle Li and Grandpa Zhao know that I have become a high-ranking official, they will be very happy."

Only then did Wang Xiang nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "They will be happy for you."

However, Li Er's move obviously made it difficult for many people to accept.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but remonstrated: "Your Majesty, only those who have made unrivaled military achievements can take up the post of Tianfu General. It is probably inappropriate to randomly confer a man with no military achievements as Tianfu General."

Although the others didn't speak, they could tell from the expressions on their faces that they had the same opinion as Wei Zheng. Although Xue Rengui was amazing, but he had just entered the court, hadn't made an inch of merit, and was still young. Decades of veterans are so embarrassing.

And the unrivaled military exploits that Wei Zheng mentioned are impossible to be achieved by anyone nowadays. At the beginning, Li Shimin conquered almost all of the Tang Dynasty, so this can be regarded as unrivaled military exploits. It is Li Jingping's credit for destroying the Turks and merging the Western Regions. It can't be regarded as an unrivaled military achievement, so no one can take the post of Tianfu General.

Li Er had expected that everyone would have such a reaction. In fact, his decision to confer Xue Rengui as Tianfu General was not impulsive. Although he didn't know as much about capable people as Wang Xiang, he definitely knew more than other ministers. The future world will be the world of capable people, and Xue Rengui's strength is definitely the strongest he has ever seen, even Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu are not as good.Also, from Wang Xiang's reaction after hearing the word "Xue Rengui" just now, he could guess that Xue Rengui is definitely not an ordinary person.

"General Tianfu is the leader of the generals, do you think Xue Rengui's strength can surpass the leader of the generals?"

Even Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu felt that they were inferior to others, and of course they would not have other ideas. Wei Zheng said: "Xue Rengui's strength is indeed strong, but General Tianfu doesn't just rely on strength. How can he convince the masses without military merit?"

Li Er has long been used to Wei Zheng's top cylinder, and he didn't get angry. He said lightly: "Nowadays, the Great Dynasty is coming soon. The competition of capable people is not only about the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but also about the stability of the Tang Dynasty. There are frequent appearances of capable people all over the world. Not only my Tang Dynasty has powerful ability users, Fanbang also has powerful ability users."

Li Er paused and continued: "Everyone knows what happened yesterday. The man with Fusang ability is in my Tang Dynasty, in Chang'an, and he openly killed the son of Dali Temple under my nose. Where is the man with Fusang ability now? "

Everyone was silent, and Li Er said angrily: "They injured the soldiers of the patrol team, and they are still showing off their power in Chang'an, saying that they will defeat the ability users of Datang in the ability user competition!"

"Once they win the ability contest, do you think they will be indifferent to the splendor of my Tang Dynasty? The Turks, the Tubo war, and the rebellion of the rebels, I think you can all understand that the current war is based on the strength of the Then there are the tactics of war and ordinary soldiers and horses. A strong capable person is the key to winning a war. I named Li Yuanba King of Zhao and Yuwen Chengdu General Tianbao precisely because they were able to defeat thousands of troops with one man. , can't people like them be worthy of unrivaled military exploits?"

Seeing that Wei Zheng still wanted to speak, Li Er interrupted: "Or if anyone among you thinks that he can be a great power for my Tang Dynasty in the ability contest, I don't think I will treat you badly."

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, finally just sighed, stepped aside and stopped talking, he is not a pedantic person, he also understands Li Er's words, if Li Yuanba and Yu Wencheng are willing, they can completely sway them by themselves Great Tang Jiangshan, and Xue Rengui's power is stronger than Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, if such a person can be used for his own use, no matter how high the official position and title are, it is worthwhile.

Wei Zheng didn't speak, and the others naturally had no opinion, so Xue Rengui, who was only 12 years old, became the general of Tianfu, ranking first among all military officers, and joined Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu in the ability contest two days later.

The 12-year-old General Tianfu soon spread in Chang'an, and the people in Chang'an talked about it with great interest. There were rumors that King Zhao and General Yuwen once competed with the 12-year-old General Tianfu in the school grounds, and no one would know the result. Got it.
