The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 78
Chapter 78
However, Li Er has already finished his rewards, and all the ministers who accompanied him on the expedition, even Yu Chigong, who guarded the palace, have all received shocking rewards... But Bai Jingyi's figure has not been seen for a long time...

Faced with such a situation, the ministers immediately showed displeasure and doubt.

"Could it be that the little general of the Bai family lost his way!?"

"I'm afraid it's not that the little general of the Bai family doesn't want this reward, so he didn't come on purpose!"

"Could it be that you don't know that the Holy Majesty is conferring a reward today, or that you overslept!?"

The ministers talked a lot, but they didn't dare to stand up and criticize Bai Jingyi.After all, accusing now is meaningless at all, it will fall into the mouth instead...

The court hall fell into silence for an instant, and the gate of the Tai Chi Hall was slowly pushed open only when the morning sun had completely shone into the Tai Chi Hall.

Everyone followed the sound of the door opening, only to see the figure of Bai Jingyi walking in slowly.

The officials looked at Bai Jingyi's figure with complex expressions, some were looking forward to it, some were dissatisfied, and most of them were jealous, after all, his contribution is really too great!

At the same time, some people gloat over others' misfortune. After all, since ancient times, those who have made great achievements have never had a good end.

Bai Jingyi walked unhurriedly to the center of the Tai Chi Hall, casually cupped his hands slightly to Li Er and said, "See Your Majesty!"

Li Er looked at Bai Jingyi with great satisfaction, and he was thinking in his mind: What kind of official position should my good son-in-law take up, which will not cause dissatisfaction among the officials, and at the same time can divide the military power from him!
"Free gift!"

As Li Er's voice fell, the court fell into a quieter situation.

Even the dozing ministers behind them wiped their saliva, straightened their backs, and listened attentively to how the Holy Master would reward Bai Jingyi.

Li Er looked at the curious eyes of the ministers, then smiled lightly and said: "You have made such a contribution, how do you want me to reward you!?"

"Sigh~~"

After hearing this, the people present couldn't help but gasped.

At the celebration dinner yesterday, the Holy One ignored everyone's objections and directly rewarded the two princesses to Bai Jingyi.

Now the Holy Majesty asks Bai Jingyi to say what reward he wants, I am afraid that if the reward Bai Jingyi wants is not too tragic, the Holy Majesty will agree unconditionally.

It was precisely because of this that the ministers present were even more curious about what kind of request Bai Jingyi would make to the Holy Majesty.

But Bai Jingyi thought for a while and said: "I report to the Holy Majesty, I should be named the Great General of Zhenbei, and the official worship is first-rank!"

First-rank General! ?
Everyone couldn't help holding their breath.

Back then, when the Holy Majesty was named Tiance Admiral, he was a first-rank official!The main reason is not because the official position is too high!
It's because a first-rank general has the right to command the soldiers of the world, and also has the responsibility to recruit talents!

Li Er thought for a while, and then looked at Changsun Wuji indifferently!If he is really rewarded with the post of Zhenbei General, he will be sent to the border of Liangzhou.

But if this is the case, wouldn't my daughter go to Liangzhou to suffer! ?

Bai Jingyi smiled lightly and said: "Oh! When I was fighting Luo Yi, the Holy Majesty personally agreed to this official position in front of all the generals! Doesn't the Holy Majesty not want to admit it!?"

"What's more! This is the official position you promised to my father!"

Hearing this, Li Er raised his head just in time to see Bai Jingyi's indifferent smile. He even believed that if Bai Jingyi wasn't named General Zhenbei today, he might just turn his head and leave!
If Bai Jingyi is allowed to leave now, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain and raising the tiger. Moreover, he has torn up the engagement with his own hands, so I am afraid he will still treat my reward as a joke...

Li Er pondered for a while, and then winked at Changsun Wuji. After all, the current situation requires someone to cooperate with him, and a person who is a blush...

After Changsun Wuji felt Li Er's gaze, he immediately nodded slightly to him.

Immediately, Li Er waved his hand lightly and said: "When I quelled all the anti-kings in the world, the old general Bai made great achievements in battle, and now you have made such extraordinary achievements! The title of the Great General of Zhenbei is well deserved, and I thought..."

Before Li Er finished speaking, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "I report to the Holy Majesty, I think this award is inappropriate!"

Li Er was not displeased at all, and asked humbly, "What's wrong with the auxiliary machine!?"

The ministers didn't know why the eldest grandson Wuji did this, it didn't touch his interests at all, why would he stand up to stop it! ?
Without waiting for the ministers to figure out the reason, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "My Majesty, I think that the little general of the Bai family has not yet reached the crown, and he is a hot-blooded young man! It is difficult to command the military power in the world!"

"On the battlefield, as a general, he should be brave and resourceful, not just rely on his blood!"

After Changsun Wuji's words fell, Li Er hurriedly said with a faint smile: "The auxiliary machine is too much to worry about. Although the little general of the Bai family is young, he is indeed a brave and resourceful person! Two Turkic Khans were captured alive in the Turkic army and retreated!"

Changsun Wuji went on to say: "My lord! There are countless generals who fought for the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many people who have made great military exploits! If the sage rewards the young general of the Bai family like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Li Er immediately pretended to be pondering, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart: This official position must be rewarded, but this military power must be dispersed!
However, Bai Jingyi indifferently looked at the two singing together in front of him.He wanted to see what other shows these two had yet to perform, after all, he just wanted the command of the Northern Liang Army!
Li Er said with some embarrassment: "Now I want to designate Bai Jingyi as the Great General of Zhenbei, are you not convinced!?"

He deliberately asked this sentence, firstly to make Bai Jingyi compromise, and secondly to stimulate those ministers of the aristocratic families and students from poor families to stand up and express their objections.The third is to give these generals a signal!
I was telling them in a cryptic way that I don't want to make Bai Jingyi the Great General of Zhenbei, but if you stand up and say something for me, this matter can be postponed...

However, Li Er miscalculated!
Cheng Yaojin immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Hey! My Majesty, if there is no Bai family nephew, it will be difficult to pacify Luo Yi, let alone defeat the Turkic army!"

"If it's about rewards, I, Old Cheng, will be the first to admire Nephew Bai's family!"

Qin Qiong stood up together and bowed to Li Er and said, "I report to you, Your Majesty! The last general is also the defeated general of the Bai family's little general, so it's hard to be dissatisfied in my heart!"

Xu Maogong slightly shook the feather fan in his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "If the little general of the Bai family hadn't been resourceful! This battle is hard to win! It's hard for the general to be dissatisfied!"

The other generals also stood up and bowed to Li Er and said, "I report to the Holy Majesty, it's hard for the last general to be dissatisfied!"
