Datang all-rounder

Chapter 202

Just when Wang Ke was thinking wildly, he heard Li Jing's voice. Wang Ke quickly came back to his senses and opened his eyes to look over.I saw that Li Jing had already stood outside the queue at this time, and he cupped his hands at Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness King Wu has made great contributions to our Great Tang this time. In my opinion, there should be some rewards." Please allow the emperor!"

As soon as Wang Ke heard Li Jing's words, she knew what Li Jing was planning.Li Ke's contribution this time is not small. Everyone knows that Comrade Li Er will definitely show something, but how to reward him needs to be carefully considered. If Li Jing said this, Comrade Li Er will express his position now. up.

In Li Ke's capacity, it is impossible to award titles anymore, so he can only make decisions on official positions.According to Comrade Li Er's thinking, Li Ke now controls the most important department of Datang, and it is absolutely impossible for Comrade Li Er to let Li Ke lose control of this department and send an outsider to manage it.

Then, if Li Ke is to be rewarded now, he can only be promoted to Li Ke's military rank. In this way, even if Li Ke is firmly tied to the military side, Li Ke may not show anything now. However, no one dared to say when Li Ke would be able to play an inestimable role for the military.

Wang Ke couldn't help secretly admiring Li Jing, an old fox, who really spared no effort for the interests of the military, even if he was an idler, he would never give up.

Comrade Li Er wanted to reward Li Ke yesterday, but he didn't know how to reward Li Ke. After all, Li Ke is his son, and now he is a prince. The department he manages is also a new department. Datang's armament construction is very important. If Li Ke is promoted, then someone has to change to manage the place. Change it to an outsider. If you can't rest assured, change it to your other son. No one understands this stuff now. , and have never been in contact with it. It is probably impossible to imagine that Li Ke managed everything without any omissions, so Li Ke can't leave yet, he can only guard this stall.But just rewarding some gold, silver and silk satin will not show the great contribution this time.

Comrade Li Er thought about it all night and couldn't make up his mind on how to reward him. Now Li Jing stood up and asked, and Comrade Li Er immediately threw the question to Li Jing again: "Li Qing's words are good, thanks to the credit for this time." It's not ordinary big, but it should be rewarded well. In your opinion, how should I reward it?"

Li Jing was just as Wang Ke expected. Before he stepped forward, Li Jing had already thought about it. Now when Comrade Li Er asked him, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the department managed by His Highness King Wu is very important. It's not something that ordinary people can manage. I thought about it carefully, and it's really difficult to handle. However, His Highness King Wu's military rank is still the rank of major general. With His Highness's achievements this time, it should be mentioned. The emperor will also It would be better to reward some money and things.”

Li Jing's proposal was stated, but he didn't explain what the military rank referred to.

Li Jing's purpose in doing this is actually very simple. To what extent this should be raised is up to you, the emperor.My task is to tell everyone that this incident was done by people from our military!To put it bluntly, this time it is our military that has completed everything, and it has nothing to do with you civil officials. Although the emperor asked you civil officials to take the lead in the beginning, it is only our military that can do it in the end. From now on, your civil officials Don't always think that our military can't do anything other than fight, you have to know that now that we have a prince with us, the military still has a say!

Comrade Li Er didn't know Li Jing's thoughts, but he still agreed with Li Jing's idea, so he followed Li Jing's words and said: "Very good, according to what Li Qing said, the rank of Ke is promoted from major general to lieutenant general Let’s give another ten catties of gold, twenty catties of silver, and fifty bolts of silk. If you have something to play in the future, you don’t need to report, you can come to see me directly.”

Comrade Li Er didn't have any other rewards, but the last sentence was a bit serious. Although Li Ke is his son, he is still a minister according to the rules.If there is something to play, it must be reported to the higher authorities according to the procedure, and only after Comrade Li Er's permission can he enter.When you are free, you can't just enter the palace. You have to be summoned by Comrade Li Er or the queen and your own mother and concubine before you can enter the palace.

Now that Comrade Li Er said this, it means that Li Ke can enter the palace at any time, not as before, and it also shows that Li Ke's status in Comrade Li Er's mind has been greatly improved.

As soon as Li Ke waited for Comrade Li Er to finish speaking, he quickly knelt down to thank him. Anyone could see the excitement in his heart at a glance.

Wang Ke was also quite happy at this time. Comrade Li Er's reward to Li Ke was the last point that Wang Ke valued the most. This was a good thing for Li Ke, and it would also benefit Wang Ke invisibly. It will be much more convenient for Li Ke to do something for him.

While Wang Ke was thinking wildly, Changsun Wuji had already drawn up the reward for Li Ke as an imperial decree, which was announced on the spot after being approved by various ministries and handed over to Comrade Li Er for seal.

After Changsun Wuji finished reading, Comrade Li Er said: "I want you to come here today, just to let you share this matter with me. Now that this matter is over, you will go to the court to deal with your own affairs." Let's go."

Eunuch Yang waited for Comrade Li Er to stand up, and hurriedly shouted: "Separate the court!"

Civil and military officials knelt down to send Comrade Li Er off before standing up, congratulating Li Ke one after another.

Standing outside the circle, Wang Ke looked at Li Ke who was bowing his hands to thank the officials with a smile. He waited for the officials to leave one by one before walking forward, patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness!" Ah, this is the lieutenant general. How about it, Ke invites His Highness to the humble house, how about letting Ke celebrate the victory of the lieutenant general?"

Li Ke smiled and punched Wang Ke lightly on the chest and said: "Brother Wang, don't laugh at me. Even if I am promoted to lieutenant general, I am still lower than Brother Wang. Brother Wang is now a general. No In the past, Ke was very willing to spend time at Brother Wang's house. Why don't you just leave now!"

The two came to Wang Ke's house talking and laughing. When Nanping heard Wang Ke talk about today's events, he also kept congratulating Li Ke.

Wang Ke stood aside and said with a smile: "My wife, I'd better go to the bar for food and drink. I invite His Highness to come here today to celebrate him."

Nanping looked at Wang Ke and said, "The general already remembers the third brother, why don't you call the sisters-in-law together!"

Wang Ke said with a sneer: "I really forgot, please ask my wife to call someone to ask for it."

Nanping nodded and went to work on his own, and Wang Ke took Li Ke to the study and sat down.

The servant who didn't wait for the tea left, Wang Ke couldn't wait to ask Li Ke: "Tell me quickly, what did you do to Hou Junji during the negotiation, where is he now? Why didn't you see him when you came back this time?" Is he coming back with you?"

Li Ke pointed at Wang Ke and laughed loudly. After laughing, he said: "I know that Brother Wang has no good intentions in letting Hou Jun lead the army, but Ke has made a lot of trouble for the surnamed Hou this time!"

When Wang Ke heard this, he was very happy, and urged him again and again: "Hurry up and tell me how you tormented him!"

Li Ke deliberately wanted to make Wang Ke anxious for a while, so he picked up the tea in a leisurely manner, took a sip carefully, and aftertaste, seeing Wang Ke's unbearable appearance, he slowed down. Slowly said: "Before leaving that day, Brother Wang found Ke, and what he said to Ke made Ke Shi's cottage suddenly enlightened. All the way, Ke was reminiscing about the method that Brother Wang said. Don't say it. I used that a lot when negotiating..."

As soon as Li Ke started talking, Wang Ke waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Li Ke's words, and said anxiously: "Stop talking about this, and tell me how you tormented Hou Junji!"

Li Ke shook his head and said: "Okay. As for the reason why Brother Wang asked Hou Junji to lead the troops at the beginning, Ke still couldn't figure out why. It was obviously a credit. Why did Brother Wang let Hou Junji go? Well, it was only later that Ke realized that the leader of the army must be restrained by Ke, and Brother Wang must want Ke to give him a good torment."

As soon as he said this, Wang Ke gave Li Ke a thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "Not bad, that's exactly what I think. Even if he has merit, he can't easily get it, don't toss him How can it be enough?"

Li Ke looked at Wang Ke, and said with a regretful face: "Ke made a fuss about the Hou, but the soldiers of the Left Guards also suffered, and Ke felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he belonged to Datang. Elite!"

Wang Ke spread his hands, and said with regret on his face: "There is no other way. No one can do it by tossing Hou Junji. Let the brothers of the Zuowei Army participate in a tough training."

Hearing what Wang Ke said, Li Ke felt that he could only think this way, nodded and continued: "Ever since we arrived at the negotiation site, and before the negotiation started, Ke has never made it easier for the surnamed Hou to bring his team into the town. Instead, let them station in the wilderness, practice non-stop every day, and from time to time cross the border between Datang and Tuyuhun to harass me. Ask him to pull the team out to show off. This scares Tuyuhun a lot, and tortures Hou Junji so much that he hasn't had a good rest for a day. But let alone, the reaction of the left guard soldiers now is comparable to that of the newly arrived When I was there, I was much more sensitive, and I did everything a lot faster, and if I really went to war, I should be much braver than before!"

Wang Ke said with a smile: "In Chang'an before, the soldiers of the Left Guards were only guarding the palace, and their training was extremely limited. We have trained an army that can be used at any time."

After all, Li Ke is not stupid. He immediately understood what Wang Ke said, and asked tentatively: "Brother Wang, what do you mean to say, my army in the Tang Dynasty should be pulled out from time to time like this, so that we can get better results in the actual combat environment?" Only through training can such a team meet the needs of actual combat!"

Wang Ke nodded slightly and said: "That's it. If you blindly build a car behind closed doors, you can't do it. Only by combining it with actual combat can you train your soldiers well and be invincible on the battlefield in the future!"

Li Ke looked at Wang Ke with strange eyes and asked, "Brother Wang, you already knew about this problem, why didn't you tell Father?"

Wang Ke smiled bitterly and said: "How should I say, I haven't done this before, even if I say it, it won't help much. Now you feel it, you should go and talk to the emperor about it. As long as the emperor pays attention to this issue, Every year, the army of our Dynasty is rotated according to a certain ratio, and this kind of training is carried out at different times. I believe that it will not be long before our Tang army will be raised to a higher level, and it will be much stronger than it is now."

Li Ke looked at Wang Ke thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Wang is going to give this credit to Ke! Ke has benefited from Brother Wang not once or twice, but this time Ke dare not do it again." Commander, it's better for Brother Wang to talk to Father Huang!"

Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "You are wrong. It's not that I give you credit. It's because you have a lot of feelings when you go out this time. You can tell the emperor much more clearly than I can. This is of great importance to me. Who can say that the benefits are not the same. Don't refuse."

Although Wang Ke said so, in fact, everyone knows that as long as this matter impresses Comrade Li Er, it must be a great achievement.

Wang Ke has a clear understanding of his current situation. He has just been promoted, so it is useless to take credit for it.But Li Ke is different. Although he has just received a reward, it is impossible to advance again immediately, but this will greatly change his position in Comrade Li Er's mind.Moreover, Li Ke has just come back, so this incident can be regarded as having just experienced it immediately. It is normal for Li Ke to gain some experience from it. Now it is very appropriate for Li Ke to talk about Comrade Li Er.

Seeing that Wang Ke had made up his mind not to go, Li Ke had no choice but to agree and let him speak.But he thought it over, he must not be alone in this matter, one thing is to say that he was inspired by Wang Ke, so he figured out the key to it, and if he wants to make achievements, he must bring Wang Ke together.

Seeing that Li Ke agreed, Wang Ke didn't expect Li Ke to have such a plan, so he was happy, and asked again: "You haven't told me how Hou Junji is now, why didn't you come back with you."

Li Ke then smiled and said: "As soon as the treaty was signed, Ke sent him to lead the left guards to station in Tuyuhun, let them settle down first, and Chaoli can slowly arrange other teams to replace them, so that we can start early Let Tuyuhun fulfill the terms of the treaty!"

Wang Ke stared blankly at Li Ke. It seemed good to be stationed at this time, but it was actually quite difficult.Everyone knows that the treaty has only just been signed, and no preparations have been done yet. Just going in like this, I don't know how much hardship this team will suffer.

Hearing Wang Ke's question, Li Ke said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? It's just to let the surname Hou suffer for a few more days. The soldiers should be trained. What's there to say. What Ke is thinking now is, I don't know what this is The one surnamed Hou can hold on for a few days, but if he can't hold on and runs back, it will be fun."

Wang Ke pointed at Li Ke, and for a while really didn't know what to say about him.

At this moment, Nan Ping came in and invited them to go down for dinner. Li Ke ran downstairs as soon as he heard this. He was the most active at this time.
