Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 613 Marquis of Juejin County
The first important thing to talk about in the palace is to ask for compensation for the fallen soldiers.

As the coach, this is Li Qinzai's due responsibility.

So many passionate sons died generously for the Tang Dynasty, and everyone shed the last drop of blood for the country. How can the survivors disappoint the sleeping heroes?

Li Zhi suddenly showed a solemn look, and said: "Early before Jing Chu returned to Beijing, I have issued an order to give preferential treatment to the soldiers who died in battle. Jing Chu can rest assured that I will not let the relatives and descendants of the soldiers feel cold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi said again: "I heard that you asked Su Dingfang to send the remains of the fallen soldiers back to Guanzhong?"

Li Qinzai lowered his head and sighed: "That was the last request of the soldiers before they died in battle. The homeland is hard to leave, and the fallen leaves return to their roots. I really can't refuse..."

Li Zhi nodded: "I have issued an order to investigate the native place of the fallen soldiers, and then order the officials where the native place is to be properly buried in their hometown."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a bit heavy, Empress Wu smiled sweetly and said, "Today is a happy day for the reunion of monarchs and ministers, so we should not be sad. Your Majesty, do you want to spread the song and dance of Taichang Temple?"

Li Zhi also showed a smile, and said: "What the queen said is right. It is a great victory and a great joy. How can you act like a woman there? Come and pass on the singing and dancing."

A group of kabuki entered the hall gracefully, and stood in the middle of the hall after saluting.

Li Qinzai noticed that this group of maikos was actually wearing armor and holding swords and shields, and his eyes could not help but concentrate.

The passionate music sounded, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became grand and intense. The maikos began to change formations like an army confronting each other, and the swords and shields in their hands also shone amidst the passionate music.

The songs of the kabukis also sang at the right time.

"The lord opened the Changli calendar, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou. After you see Yange, it will be Taipingqiu..."

Li Qinzai suddenly became solemn, with a dignified and dignified expression.

"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle", the lyrics were written by the famous minister Wei Zheng and others, and later it was an army song in the early Tang Dynasty.The significance of this song and dance is extraordinary to the royal family and subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi arranged such a grand song and dance to welcome him, Li Qinzai couldn't help being extremely moved.

After the song and dance, Li Qinzai bowed to Li Zhi: "I am ashamed to accept this song."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "You can fully afford it. With one person's strength, he earned thousands of miles of territory for the Tang Dynasty. How can a song "Broken Array" fully describe Jingchu's achievements?"

As Li Zhi and Empress Wu looked at each other and smiled, Li Zhi suddenly lowered his face and said seriously: "Li Qinzai listens to the seal."

Li Qinzai hurriedly got up and left his seat, kneeling in the center of the hall.

"You are loyal to the country, guarding the land and expanding the frontier, dealing with the enemy's chieftains without losing his wisdom, trapped in a heavy siege and not easy to be honest, bloody and brave, wise and loyal, I have this virtuous minister and general, and I have the mercy of heaven, How can it not be sealed?"

"Li Qinzai of the Jin Dynasty, the Marquis of Weinan County, increased 300 households in Shiyi, granted [-] acres of land, rewarded [-] liang of gold, and [-] pieces of silk. He was allowed to ride a horse and gave a purple gold fish bag."

"His son, Li Qiao, is the cavalry captain of Jin Fei, and his wife, Cui Shi, is the order of the first rank of Jin."

Li Qinzai was taken aback. This reward was really too heavy. He thought it was just a county marquis. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi not only gave a lot of rewards, but also sealed his wife and children, a typical "wife and son".

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "I have only made minor contributions. Your Majesty should not reward you too much. I am afraid that the court will criticize you and damage your majesty's reputation. I ask your majesty to take back your order."

Li Zhi laughed and said: "It's not serious at all. Jingchu, it is because you have given me face that I have the confidence to award you. If the courtiers have any criticism, you might as well let them argue with me face to face. If they have the ability For such meritorious service, I will not hesitate to add a heavy reward, heh, do they have that ability?"

Empress Wu also said with a smile: "Don't worry about Jing Chu, for the great achievements you have made, your Majesty's rewards are just right, there will be no criticism in the court, and everyone will only admire them."

Li Qinzai sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to say: "Minister, thank you, Son of Heaven."

…………

The gate of Taiji Palace opened slowly, and an eunuch hurried out of the palace gate with a yellow silk in his hand, and went straight to the British government.

The British Government House was being decorated with lights and festoons, and Li Ji stood in the atrium in person, directing his servants to arrange banquets and clean the courtyard.

At the age of more than 60, Li Ji still looks like a green pine tree that never bends down in the courtyard. At this moment, his face is flushed, he strokes his beard and smiles from time to time, and he looks energetic and can live for at least 20 more years.

Knowing that his grandson returned to Beijing today after making great contributions to Tuyuhun, Li Ji has been busy since early in the morning.

After the generals, the most glorious moment is the victory and return to the court. This is the glory of a general. Li Ji has been a soldier all his life. He knows that a general who has experienced life and death in the battlefield needs the enthusiasm of his family after returning to comfort the psychological trauma of the war.

Under the corridor outside the courtyard, Li Siwen passed by with his head drooping. Li Ji saw him with sharp eyes, and immediately said, "Siwen, come here."

Li Siwen walked over quickly and saluted Li Ji.

Li Ji glanced at him, and said: "You have been back from Runzhou for a few days, do you know that today you will return to Beijing?"

Li Siwen bowed his head and said, "I heard from my servant at noon."

Li Ji hummed, and said: "Qin Zai is now promising, and has made great contributions in Tuyuhun. This contribution is so great that even the old man is envious. Are you not happy as a father?"

Li Siwen smiled: "The child is naturally happy, but he must be strict in teaching the child. No matter how much credit he makes, he will not be able to give him a good face. Otherwise, this bad boy will definitely be in a high mood, and one day he will cause big trouble again."

Li Ji shook his head: "It's not good to teach a child too strictly. Besides, Qin Zai has grown up now. I'm not afraid to say that his current achievements and skills are much better than yours."

Li Siwen blushed, snorted uncomfortably, and said, "No matter how capable he is, he is also my son."

Li Ji glanced at him lightly, and said: "Your jealousy is like a long-suppressed piss, and it's about to spit out. I'm not as good as my son. Don't you blush as a father?"

Li Siwen sighed dejectedly: "My boy admits that Qin Zai has indeed become more and more powerful in recent years, and I am not as good as him."

Li Jin hummed, and said: "Be brave when you know your shame. In the future, you will think more about practical things and seek more welfare for the people. Your son sacrificed his life in Shanzhou. To save tens of thousands of people, he did not hesitate to trap himself." Siege, if you have the courage, Runzhou has already become a beautiful city."

The military report from the border town had already spread to Chang'an, and everyone in the whole family knew about Li Qinzai's various deeds.

Li Siwen had nothing to say, really, no matter what, this son seemed to be much better than him.

Li Ji said again slowly: "Qin Zai has entered the palace to face the saint, and he is about to go home after speaking. It's Chinese New Year, don't be as stern as before, or chasing and beating Qin Zai all over the yard..."

"He is now an adult, and he has done a lot of things to honor his ancestors. Our Li family may add a branch of his line, and it will spread from then on. It is not appropriate for you to beat him again."

Li Siwen suddenly felt unhappy: "I am his father, why can't I beat him?"

Li Ji raised his thumb, pointed to his chest, and said calmly, "Because this is what his father's father said, if you dare to beat your own son, this old man will beat his own son too."
