Chapter 19 The day of the award, appetizers
Cheng Xingzhan is still very prestigious in the Censorate. He has worked as a Censor for many years and has enough connections.
With this, he decided to choose the candidate for the Chief Censor.
Li Linfu is indeed very ordinary in terms of calculating people's hearts.
Under his planning, Chen Xilie and Wang walked together.
One of them is qualified and the other is the most favored. They are combined with each other and can be said to be seamless.
The king knew that as long as Chen Xilie was praised as the prime minister, it meant that there was one of his own people among the prime ministers, and there was also the prophet and the right to speak in major affairs of the country.
In the future, he was promoted to prime minister and had a brick of doorstep, which was beneficial without any harm.
Li Linfu's move directly hit Chen Xilie and Wang's heart, making them closely linked like positive and negative magnets.
Yuwen Rong is asking for the free predecessor, Chen Xilie and Wang are also asking for it, and contradictions are inevitable.
But it was not his own business after all. Although Wang was willing to hurry up for his own will, his strength was limited, and he did not intend to offend the Tang Dynasty's minister for his newly-made allies.
However, after Han Xiu succeeded as the Chief Censor, the situation was completely different.
The king regarded the Censor Zhongcheng as his own possession, and Han Xiu took it away, how could he bear it?
In addition, Chen Xilie's bewitching and Li Yuan's faction completely broke up and began to attack each other in the temple, looking for trouble.
The radicals temporarily withdrew from this fierce struggle because they lost Zhang Shuo's backbone and watched the show.
The current situation has nothing to do with Pei, and he is also preparing for his own affairs.
The day of reward has finally arrived.
Early that morning, Pei and Wang Zhongsi were waiting for the generals of Longyou and Hexi at the main entrance of the palace.
Wang Zhongsi lived with Pei in Pei's mansion, so the two of them naturally went together.
The rest of the generals lived in the inn in Chang'an City, some distance from the imperial city.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Gao Xianzhi, Li Yide, Li Siye, Zhe Huchen, Lei Wanchun and others appeared in front of Pei in formal wear.
Looking at the officials in the court's colors, Pei laughed out loud.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, but you put on this layer of skin one by one. No matter how you look at it, it's so awkward. Only Xianzhi is, she looks a little bit."
These governments were specially tailored for them in recent days, and they fit very well.
But Li Yide, Li Siye, Zhehuchen, and Lei Wanchun all said that there were three or five strong generals. What sounded good was that they were majestic and unyielding, but what was ugly was that they were full of flesh on their faces.
This tiger is dressed in sheepskin, and is essentially a tiger.
Wearing a serious official uniform, they still cannot change the tough temperament on their bodies, and they look inappropriate.
Wang Zhongsi next to him was slightly better, but he was also a great man in Guanzhong. As he grew older, he was already over 1.85 meters tall, and his wide official uniform could not cover up his tendons and muscles. This spacious official uniform was not as good as an official.
Only Gao Xianzhi is very handsome, after all, she is a handsome guy and looks good in everything she wears.
What he said naturally includes himself.
Pei had long been the first-class Duke, wearing the most noble and gorgeous purple robe with goldfish bags.
He is noble and does not lose the demeanor of a general, and looks full of charm.
Li Yide said in a thick voice: "It's so troublesome to wear clothes, it's better to go Longyou!"
Zhe Huchen teased and said, "That's not what you said last night."
Li Yide's face turned red and he stopped talking unexpectedly.
Pei Bai looked embarrassed when he heard this, and knew that the few of them went to Pingkangfang yesterday.
They have made great achievements in their military achievements and received a lot of rewards. They are born and die on weekdays, so they go to brothels to have fun, but Pei doesn't care.
But their statement made Pei couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Especially Li Yide and Zhe Huchen, one looks like Zhang Fei and the other looks like Dian Wei. They are together, the picture...
"Let's go!" Pei didn't dare to think about it and led his group to the palace.
Pei spoke simple rules, and under the gaze of civil and military officials in the court, they walked into the center of power in the world with their chests raised.
"My teacher Pei led the deputy governor of Longyou, Wang Zhongsi, military envoy Li Siye, Zhehuchen, Gao Xianzhi, Li Yide, and the commander Lei Wanchun... to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Li Longji was not familiar with the generals under Pei. Apart from Wang Zhongsi, he had only seen one of Li Siye and Pu Gu Huaien, and most of the others did not know him.
Looking at the mighty and powerful generals, wearing official uniforms, like tigers in sheepskins, I couldn't help but laugh and praise: "With so many wise and brave generals, how can I not win and be defeated in the Tang Dynasty?"
He suddenly stood up, looked at the powerful generals and all the civil and military officials in the court, and whispered loudly: "Since I ascended the throne, I have cultivated civil governance internally, expanded my martial arts externally; I have defended my territory and expanded my territory, and wiped out the four barbarians. Now there are Arabs, Tubo and Nanzhao who are in harmony with each other, and are planning for the territory of our Tang Dynasty. However, how can the villains match our Tang Dynasty lion?"
"In the past, Ban Biao's memorial to Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty said, 'The Han Dynasty has a saying, 'The Han Dynasty has its prestige and powers all nations. The sun and the moon are all ministers.' I also have this intention today. All the sun and the moon shine, the rivers reach, and all the countries will return to the Tang Dynasty..."
"The commander Lei Wanchun is the leader of the enemy of hundreds of battles, and is extremely arrogant. He is appointed as a guerrilla general and is granted the title of Changsong County."
"The Shenwu Army envoy Li Yide, who killed the enemy's vanguard, defeated the enemy's spirit, had great achievements, was as brave as Guan Zhang, who was reborn as a fierce general, was awarded General Xuanwei and was granted the title of Prince of Huacheng."
Next, Li Siye, Zhehuchen, Gao Xianzhi, and Wang Zhongsi were awarded one by one by Li Longji, and even personally told their achievements.
This is also related to the battle report written by Pei. Without Pei's subtle battle report, Li Longji would not have been able to reward the merits and deeds as detailed as today.
Li Siye and Zhehuchen were both martial experts, and were awarded the rank of generals and were granted titles.
Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhongsi were rewarded separately.
Gao Xianzhi crossed two major deserts, crossed Kunlun Mountain, and arrived at the victory. Her extraordinary achievements were second only to Pei and Wang Zhongsi.
Li Longji was not stingy with praise, and appointed Gao Xianzhi as the governor of Beiting, General Yunhui, Zhenggongfu, Earl Changle...
Wang Zhongsi captured Qinghai Lake, captured and killed the Tubo border commander, expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles, and directly appointed the Grand Governor of Qinghai Lake, the General of Huaihua, the Grand Duke of Yinqing Guanglu, the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Marquis of Moli...
Wang Zhongsi is only twenty-five years old this year and has become the most dazzling new star in the Tang Dynasty.
But all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting, and no one spoke about these rewards. They all knew that the real highlight had just begun.
All of this before was an appetizer...
"The governor of Longyou, the governor of the Censor of the Censor of the Hexi, the governor of the Censor of the Censor of the Western Regions, the general of the auxiliary state, the chief minister of the Jinzi Guanglu, the chief minister of the Censorate, and the Duke of Liangguo Pei..."
