The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

When Li Yuanqing arrived outside the palace gate, the sky was not clear, about a little more than 4 a.m.

At this time, a lot of chariots and horses had gathered outside the palace gate, one by one, big men in bright red official robes, in twos and threes, rushed into the palace gate.

At this time, he had many inconveniences compared with other aspects of his life.

It's just that Dacheng is a little anti human.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was not a civil servant, not to mention a Beijing official. He only met a great dynasty once in a while, and he bit his teeth and held on. He didn't have to be bothered by it all the time.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing was already famous all over the world, even if he was a three-year-old child, he might have heard of his name and know his prestige.

However, after all, Li Yuanqing is a humble military officer, and this world is still the world of literati.

In addition, there was not much intersection between Li Yuanqing and the literati group.

At this time, although he was tall and conspicuous in the crowd, these red robed men, looking at his military officer's robes, were busy looking away from their eyes and chatting with their colleagues. They directly regarded Li Yuanqing as nothing and rushed inside.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing is not a person who likes to show off. These big men ignore him, but he is still happy.

With Niu Gensheng's command, Li Yuanqing followed the crowd and entered the palace gate.

Although today is a reward granted by the great court, the cabinet has to report the state affairs first and wait for the backlog of military affairs to be dealt with before it is the turn of Li Yuanqing's military officer to reward him.

The ministers went straight to the main hall, while Li Yuanqing was guided by the eunuch to rest in front of the jade carving fence outside the hall.

Li Yuanqing has already had several experience in awarding rewards. Li Yuanqing knows very well that to wait for his reward, at least the sun will come out, and he will get seven or eight o'clock.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing's popularity in the palace was not bad. Soon, a small eunuch brought the food box and respectfully handed it to Li Yuanqing.

"General Li, your servant is a little plum under the command of Duke an. this is the elbow that has just been baked in the imperial dining room. Have a taste of it."

The little eunuch was very kind to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing a smile, casually took out a hundred Liang silver note, put it into the hands of the small eunuch, "thank you, little grandfather. We are still at home. "

The little eunuch was overjoyed. He had heard of Li Yuanqing's righteousness and righteousness, and then he begged for the job of delivering food for Li Yuanqing.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanqing is worthy of his reputation. His hand is one hundred Liang, which is enough for his income for several years.

Busy happy thanks to Li Yuanqing, carefully wait on one side.

Li Yuanqing was not polite. He took the food box and ate it up.

Last night, he was really hungry.

Although the meal cost one hundred Liang silver, the Royal chef's skill is not covered. It tastes very good. There is also a bowl of lean meat porridge.

Satisfied with food and drink, the eunuch quickly picked up the food box and said with a careful smile, "General Li, I'll go and put down my things first, and I'll come to serve you right away."

Li Yuanqing a smile, "you go busy."

"Ah." The eunuch left happily.

Li Yuanqing also has the spirit, scanning around.

Not far behind him, there were still seven or eight generals waiting for the reward.

According to their official robes, there are two deputy generals, one general and several others. They are all guerrillas.

Obviously, they also saw Li Yuanqing who was isolated here. They also saw that Li Yuanqing had a meal just now. Some people obviously wanted to come over and talk to Li Yuanqing. However, the little eunuchs around them were so angry that they didn't dare to act.

Li Yuanqing could not help but smile and walked over, "where are the brothers from? Are you going to join us today

A few small eunuchs see that Li Yuanqing has come and bowed their heads to salute one after another.

An assistant general with sharp eyes and a busy smile said, "yes. Are you, my lord

He spoke with a heavy nose and a strong familiar smell. Li Yuanqing heard it and said with a smile, "brother, are you from Shaanxi?"

The deputy general said with a smile, "your good eyesight. He Chong is the Vice General of Shaanxi Province. This is the humble nephew He Yu. The other brothers are from Ningxia, Yansui and Datong

Li Yuanqing glanced with a smile.

Several people rushed to salute Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was dressed as a commander-in-chief officer's robe, and his prestige was placed here. Even the small eunuchs who dared not look at him were so respectful to Li Yuanqing. How dare they not lower their posture?

Li Yuanqing is also interested in these other generals.

In particular, He Chong's uncle and nephew are from Western Shaanxi.

Li Yuanqing can 't help but think of a Shaanxi born veteran general he Renlong in the Ming Dynasty.

He's family was also a general of generations in Shaanxi Province. Many people also joined the army in the Liao Dynasty. However, due to various reasons, Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island did not absorb the nutrients here and did not have much interaction with them.After a few words of greetings with them, Li Yuanqing soon understood.

They all got the chance of this reward because of their achievements in fighting against the northern prisoners.

However, compared with Li Yuanqing, their achievements are not enough.

For example, He Chong's uncle and nephew only killed the head of level 20 northern prisoners, and he got the chance to reward him.

As for the old man in Ningxia, he was only at level 10, and he also got the chance to be rewarded.

It's really

But think about it, Li Yuanqing also understand.

According to the fighting capacity of the Ming army at this time, it would be a great achievement to capture the head of the Tartars. How could we expect too much?

At this time, the public also understood the identity of Li Yuanqing, and the compliments were not stopped.

No wonder this person can be in the palace like a fish in water, so natural and unrestrained? It turned out to be Li Yuanqing, a powerful man in the world.

As a result, they all felt relieved, as if this was what they should have been.

With them chatting, Li Yuanqing is no longer lonely.

Soon, the little eunuch also came back and stood respectfully beside Li Yuanqing.

When the generals saw this, they paid more and more respect to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile to He Chong: "brother he, I heard that there is a young man named he Renlong in your family, who is very famous?"

He Chong was stunned for a moment, but he was overjoyed. "Li, Li junmen, how do you know he, he Renlong?"

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing a smile, also came to interest, "how? Brother he has heard of this man

He Chong and he Yu are both very happy.

He Renlong is not only a name they have heard, but it is too familiar.

He Chong hurriedly said: "Li junmen, to be honest, he Renlong is a humble nephew of his family, and has not yet taken out the five clothes. Although he is young, he knows how to make trouble. How did you hear his name? "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "young man, just a little bit, this is normal. If a young man has no temper, is he still called a young man? "

He Chong was even more happy and said, "Li junmen, you are a humble man. Now he is waiting outside the palace. If Li junmen doesn't give up, how about inviting Li junmen to drink a glass of water wine when they have time in the future? "

At this time, the situation of Daming, if you want to do meritorious service, the best choice is undoubtedly Liao.

He Chong has been an official for many years. He is not a fool.

Seeing Li Yuanqing's kindness, how could he not seize the opportunity?

Li Yuanqing smile, "since brother he gives Yuanqing face, how can Yuanqing not accept it? I've heard the name of he family in Shaanxi Province for a long time. In this way, where does he live now? If nothing happens today, let's have a good drink in the evening. By the way, he Renlong is called by the way

He Chong was overjoyed and said, "Li junmen, I live in Yuelai Inn not far from Dashilan."

Several people were just saying that it was already light. A small eunuch rushed to Li Yuanqing and said respectfully to Li Yuanqing, "Li junmen, the emperor has a decree, and you will be presented."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "brother he, several brothers, Yuan Qingxian has left. We'll have a few drinks later

Everyone was very happy to see Li Yuanqing off.

Li Yuanqing was no stranger to meet Li Yuanqing. He came to the gate of the hall and kowtowed several times according to the process. Li Yuanqing knelt in the center of the hall.

On both sides are the same color of red official robes, obviously also interested in Li Yuanqing, the eyes have looked over.

But the top did not speak, Li Yuanqing also dare not look up, can only use the remaining light around.

After a while, I heard the eunuch's shrill voice and began to read, "Li Yuanqing, the commander-in-chief of Changsheng Island, has done more than the state and made great achievements in the war..."

After a series of commendations, the text finally ushered in, "promotion, Li Yuanqing is the general of the auxiliary state, and his son, Li Dingbei, inherits the royal guards. A silver medal for an arrow. To supervise the battles in Changsheng Island, Guanglu Island, Fuzhou and Jinzhou... "

"Silver medal arrow?"

Li Yuanqing was still silent in the prize. Duke an, who was standing beside him, whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Li junmen, the reward is over. Thank you very much."

Li Yuanqing responded and kowtowed in a hurry. "My humble duty is Li Yuanqing. Thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"

Overhead, came the soft voice of Tianqi little emperor, "ha ha. Li junmen's contribution is greater than that of the country. Let's get even. "

"Thank you." Li Yuanqing kowtowed respectfully again, and then he stood up carefully.

Emperor Tianqi said with a smile, "gentlemen, this is Li Yuanqing and Li junmen in the south of Liaoning Province. Well, here comes the Lord. If you have any questions about the war in Liao, you can ask him directly. "

Li Yuanqing thought that the reward was over, but he didn't expect that the emperor would push him to the top of the storm and look at the emperor.

But the little emperor of Tianqi smiles and winks at Li Yuanqing.

Next to him, empress Zhang was also there.Li Yuanqing could not help but stand up.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, empress Zhang was not obliged to grant such a reward to the emperor. However, in many cases, except for the important reward, the empress would not participate in it in order to avoid suspicion.

Today, although Li Yuanqing's award is not small, it is still far from the big one. Li Yuanqing is also a little confused about what empress Zhang intended.

Li Yuanqing secretly took a glance at empress Zhang, but found that her pretty face was tight and rigid. She scanned all the people in the hall and looked at Li Yuanqing's eyes as nothing.

"Damn it." Li Yuanqing could not help but spit.

At this time, a white haired Yipin officer in front of the left stood out with a smile, "Li junmen is really a good-looking talent. It's no wonder that I can make such contributions to Daming. Li junmen, what do you think of the war in Liaoning in the second half of this year and the beginning of next year? "
