Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 389

Uh……

Li Xian raised his head slightly, looked straight at the edict that Eunuch Rong had denied, and was only a little hesitant in his heart.

On the way back to Beijing, I really thought about how to reject Li Er's kindness countless times.Use the threat of making firearms, or the temptation of vegetables and delicacies, or call Li Er brothers as before.However, since the East Palace incident, Li Xian suddenly became cowardly.

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, everything seems small and powerless, and even his salted fish dream has also become out of reach.

He could have relied on his former temperament and hastily found some excuses to get involved, but right now, it's all vain.

Xizheng and his party, he had brothers who were born and died, and Baiqi who shared weal and woe, and he also knew the desire of the people on the frontier for the stability and relatives that he had ignored before, which made him dare not think about being so reckless before.

[Li Er, Li Er, you are rushing ducks to the shelves!Why did you confer such an official position on me! 】

[Speaking of quickly, how can I, Li Xian, be worthy of this high position? 】

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Xian still took the imperial decree back into his palm and held it up, thanking the saint for his grace.

"Li Xian leads the decree, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Shimin, who was sitting high on the dragon seat, half closed his eyes, and a sense of relief suddenly rose in his heart.

It seems that this kid is much less mature than before during his trip to the West Frontier, and he knows how to judge the time and seize the time.

You are so powerful, and you only want to be comfortable in your free time, how can I let you do whatever you want.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, raised his sleeves and waved in the air.

"This western expedition, Li Xian, you have contributed a lot."

"Originally, according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, such a battle would shine through the ages and leave a name in history. But after all, it is your first battle, and I can overwhelm your merits. Young people, there are still many opportunities like this."

"This time is my test for you."

Hey ~
There seemed to be a slight sigh on the left side of the main hall, several civil servants headed by Changsun Wuji looked at Li Xian who was kneeling on one knee, and a look of sadness flashed in their eyes.

In the ranks of generals on the other side, Gao Shilian who clenched his fists slowly relaxed his fists, and the figure beside him burst into cheers, which seemed to be more joyful than the return of the army.

The same words fell into Li Xian's ears but became another interpretation.

Ok?
test?

It seems that Li Er is also a little uneasy!
Why didn't I take this opportunity to pry his mouth and make him take it back?
Thinking of this, a light and shadow floated in Li Xian's eyes, he raised his head solemnly, raised the imperial decree and bowed respectfully to the head of the hall.

"His Majesty."

"This minister thinks that this reward is indeed a bit heavy, and this minister deserves it."

Ok?
The figure on the dragon seat was stunned, and there was a trace of doubt in the eyes staring at His Highness.

"Are you ashamed?"

"Just tell me, where does this shame come from?"

Keeping the gesture of handcuffing, Li Xian seemed to see a glimmer of hope to live a life of salted fish again.

"His Majesty."

"During the battle in the western frontier, everyone said that our Baiqi tribe was quick-witted, and we cleverly broke through the city gates and came up with more clever tricks. In fact, we were surrounded by the army and had to do so. There is no wisdom at all."

"Also, in the depths of the lone army, it is entirely the result of my father's hard training of the soldiers under his command. If there were no such brave and courageous soldiers, like me, who has no courage to charge against the unarmed barbarians, how can I go from here? Escape from those treacherous regions."

"Therefore, in this battle, I, Li Xian, just relied on my official title to say a strategy that these soldiers dared not to say. There are so many clever tricks passed on by word of mouth."

There was a pause in his words, his eyes swept over the surprised eyes around him, and Li Xian smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth.

"His Majesty."

"The Tang Dynasty emphasized that rewards and punishments should be clearly defined, and I feel that this reward is too heavy, and I deserve it."

"Although the hundred cavalry are small, the generals among them have all internal organs. If His Majesty wants to reward them, we should reward Wei Chenhui's soldiers based on the facts."

wow.

The whole court was completely boiling.

"You are ashamed of yourself, kid? May I ask whether the horseshoe and the firearm that will be released soon are from your hands? Regardless of the important guidance of the military staff in the war, these two tools are enough to take on such a position."

"Yeah, even if you listen to these soldiers, even if you are forced to be a rogue, the final direction of the tribe depends on the wishes of the highest military officer. What kind of tricks are you going to play? Put the military industry on others and fight a battle , your head is scared out of your wits?"

"Hey, it seems that from the bottom of my heart, Li Xian is not far from working hard in the ranks of military generals, and it seems that he still prefers the matter of farming and sang. You see, as I said earlier, what Li Xian wants in his heart is not fighting and killing. life."

"Nong Sang is good. This kid was able to separate poisonous salt before, and he can also reform the coal that everyone fears. How many miracles and surprises have been created for the lives of the people of Tang Dynasty! If we work hard on this aspect, when the time comes Tang Zimin's life can be raised to a new level."

Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chu, who were also in the queue, silently watched Li Xian who was kneeling in front of the crowd, feeling inexplicably lost in their hearts.

I had thought about the same question before awarding the reward, but when I thought about the loss of a comrade-in-arms who would accompany me in the battle in the future, I always felt a little empty in my heart.

This feeling is very strange, not a scolding, not a grudge, but an understanding of this former comrade-in-arms.

Perhaps as Qin Huaidao said, the two of them and Li Xian were not from the same place.

The hall gradually became noisy and chaotic, Li Shimin pressed his palm to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Li Xian."

"Since I said that, let me ask you, what kind of position do you want?"

Looking at Li Shimin in the hall, Li Xian was speechless for a while.

[Your Li Er's head is not a joke, is it?Could it be that you, a king, can't understand the meaning of the words? 】

[I said that I want to be at ease, create some new inventions occasionally, satiate myself, teach some to the people by the way, or develop some novel gadgets for you? 】

[You just rewarded me with the position of general, isn't this completely bound?When you want to make something, you have to go to war, like when you want to see the exotic scenery in the war, why do you want to hide in the mansion and wait for inspiration and invention? 】

Uh……

Li Xian cupped his hands slightly, smiled and said tentatively.

"Why don't you give this humble official a spare job, Your Majesty?"

"After all, my minister is still young, and all affairs in the palace still need to be adjusted..."

I understood Li Xian's heart, but this time Li Shimin was in trouble.

It seems that what Li Xian said has some truth.

After all, the position of general has a lot of shackles, and the battlefield is unpredictable, even going deep into the front line can't completely guarantee life without worry.

But if this kid's wish is fulfilled, eating and drinking in the mansion all day, wandering around will inevitably lead to playfulness and waste of talent.

Gently stroked the beard under the chin for a long time, the tiger's eyes fell to the laughing figure, Li Shimin frowned slightly, swept his gaze to the hall, and spoke slowly.

"My dear friends, what do you think?"
