The reward has come to an end.

As for money and other rewards, they are indispensable, but for Pei Min at this moment, he has long been an outsider.

The focus of this court meeting is rewards.

After the reward, the court meeting came to an end.

However, before the dynasty was dispersed, Pei Min applied to Li Longji as promised to resign from his rights as Hexi, Longyou Branch Envoy, and the Field Envoy, and dismissed the position of the Great Protectorate of Anxi, saying, "The military situation was urgent before, and it was an extraordinary moment. Thanks to His Majesty's heavy trust, he was granted the Great Protectorate of Hexi, Longyou Branch Envoy, the Field Envoy, and the Great Protectorate of Anxi. Now that the thief has passed, I would like to resign and appoint wise men to take responsibility."

Pei Min's words once surprised many civil and military officials again. He did not expect that at this time, he did not take advantage of the situation to take power, but took the initiative to delegate power.

For a moment, Li Yuanhong even showed a little shame on his face, feeling that he was completely judging a gentleman's ambition with a villain.

Yuwen Rong was as always, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Li Longji was stunned. As an emperor with a strong heart, he didn't mind being loyal to his subjects and how much real power he had.

However, since Pei Min said this, it was difficult to refuse, and said: "Hexi, Longyou Branch Envoy, and the Envoy of the Envoy of the Field Envoy, but the Protectorate of the Anxi Prefecture still has his beloved ministers. Apart from his beloved ministers, I cannot find a second person to suppress the kings of the Western Regions. Moreover, although the Arabs were defeated by Pei Qing this time, they still have strong military power. Jingyuan is responsible for everything in the Western Regions, so I feel at ease."

In this appointment, he did not give Pei Min a chance to speak to all officials: because he was the only choice.

Pei Min could not refuse.

Next, Li Longji held a grand banquet for Pei Min and his fellow heroes, accompanied by officials of the fourth rank and above, and asked the Liyuan group to dance.

Officials under the fourth rank do not even have the qualifications to be accompanying.

But they inevitably rumored the details of the reward, which also caused a sensation in Chang'an.

As time goes by, the original Chang'an topic has long gone.

Only when Pei Min wins a victory or achieves a feat can he hear one or two.

But with his entry into the capital this time, with the title of the first king of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the flowers fell here and the topic of conversation between Chang'an. Many storytellers have always been the old man, and have not changed at all.

At the beginning of the banquet, there was a small episode.

When Li Longji and Pei Min were alone, Li Longji said dissatisfiedly: "I see Jing Jing far away in Hexi, Longyou did a good job. In this Western Regions War, you have a good schedule. Longyou and Hexi are in orderly economic order, and the military garrisons in the Western Regions are all very good. I just remember one person, what is his name? Yes, Niu Xianke. I have read the list he put on, and I still remember it fresh. He once wrote a letter, and I remember it clearly..."

"The monthly payment of 563,621 yuan and 94,536 stones of rice. The figures of his money and grain supply were recorded so clearly that I was surprised. It was a talent. Moreover, according to his statistics, Jingyuan was in Hexi, and the land of Longyou raised 8 million jin of military expenses and 100,000 stones of food and grass. The income from the military camp reached more than 300,000 stones, saving the court more than half a year of military pay and four months of grain supply."

"In this regard, the supporters and field envoys of all generations are not as good as you. Compared with you, those original officials have become useless people. I think you are the most suitable candidate."

Pei Min laughed and said, "This is also due to your majesty's kindness and power, and it has nothing to do with me. Liangzhou and Longyou are the economic and commercial circle of our dynasty after Jingcai and Luoyang. Unlike Jingluo, Jingluo is well-connected and connected to all parts of China. Even if you lose the business trip in the Western Regions, you still have many commercial channels. Even if you lose the business trip in the Western Regions, you will be damaged by the muscles and bones, and you will not be able to hurt the fundamentals."

"The business districts in Liangzhou and Longyou are different. They can replace Taiyuan, and Hebei relies on cross-border trade in the Western Regions. Once the business trips in the Western Regions are affected, their business will be devastating. Merchants, they are smart, can I win? They are completely connected with their business. Ask them to donate some military expenses, as long as they are not fools, they are willing to contribute money and efforts."

Li Longji said: "That was also caused by Jingyuan's convincing him. They believed that Jingyuan could win so that he would donate generously. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have to get that much money."

Pei Min was also very good at speaking and said, "Is it because the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty behind me, and without His Majesty supporting me, where did they get the confidence?"

"That's true!" Li Longji admitted shamelessly.

Pei Min remained silent for a few seconds and said, "There are also some concerns. Some officials in the court oppose foreign ministers' power, their ideas are outdated, but what they say is not completely unreasonable. Therefore, compared to opposing their views, I hope to find a compromise method. There is no good countermeasure at present, but maintaining the harmony of generals and ministers is one of them. The two ministers do not want to see the general, the three powers of grain and wealth are held in their hands. I always believe that the Bian Zheng is loyal to Your Majesty, but everyone has their own ambitions. I have never avoided some sluts in all dynasties. Even in the Zhenguan Dynasty, there was still a Hou Junji who rebelled. Dividing the power of the Bian Zheng from grain and wealth can effectively prevent this."

His words were entirely directed at the Anshi Rebellion.

Li Longji believed in himself too much, believing that he could control a powerful general, so he delegated power without restraint for military merit.

This gave An Lushan the opportunity to rise. Otherwise, how could he provoke chaos in the world with Fatty An?

In order not to repeat the same mistake, Pei Min removed Yang Guozhong, controlled Li Linfu, and took Yang Yuhuan to Liangzhou.

Only An Lushan is still missing. Pei Min feels uneasy if he doesn't get rid of Fat An.

Especially Li Longji is no longer Li Longji in his early years.

Even Pei Min himself could feel that Li Longji now tends to rule inaction and delegate power from ministers, and he has free time to do what he likes.

Pei Min is also powerless in this regard, and Li Longji has this personality.

Pei Min could only persuade him, but could not force him to change.

No subject in history who intends to force the emperor to do something will end up in good terms.

Even famous officials like Kou Zhun were wrongfully demoted and eventually died in Leizhou.

Li Longji could also understand Pei Min's intentions and sighed: "All civil and military officials in the court, Jingyuan, only one of them has this awareness. He cares about personal gains and losses without valuing them, and he is devoted to me. However, Jingyuan is too concerned about me. I am overwhelmed by the power of the world, and the world surrenders, and everyone returns. I don't believe that anyone has ambition and dares to defend against me?"

Pei Min complained in his heart: "Where does this confidence come from this?..."

He said in a muffled voice: "Just be afraid if..."

Li Longji also knew Pei Min's kindness and agreed, "I will pay attention."
