Chapter 159
This imperial edict is of little significance, so what is the reason for its existence?
The emperor himself knew that he could not use Gu Li's family, and the appeal of this imperial edict was not equal. He would still fool the people who didn't recognize their words, and fool the aristocratic family would probably be laughed to death.
Why do I still give this imperial edict? It is to prove to the world that he can still make decisions, use Boss Li's reputation to stabilize the border and stabilize the generals who are not convinced by him.
Boss Li is the most powerful and outstanding famous general in the Li family in a century. He is famous all over the country and shocks the northwest border.
Especially when he is in his prime, he dare not act heavily on the border. If the king and his ministers practice again, who knows whether you are acting together, teasing us, and setting up condoms to beat us.
The other end of the border grassland dare not act rashly. It takes money to launch a war, and it will be even worse if it fails.
The purpose of this imperial edict is to declare to the outside world that the king and his subjects are united, and that Boss Li is still his subject, and he is used by him.
The title of the God of War was not self-proclaimed by Boss Li, but by the people, and was praised by the late emperor.
At that time, the Imperial Heavenly Prison urged the late emperor to enthrone the title and praise Li Boss as the God of War. This was a kind of pardon and a way to increase fortune for the country. It was a bit similar to the emperor's actions of worshiping Mount Tai to worship the sky.
To increase national destiny is to entrust national destiny to Boss Li, forming a central and majestic aura, allowing the army he led to invincible victory and strengthen the fortune of our great country.
The fortune of the country is carried by Boss Li, who defends the country and feeds back the country, and is peaceful and prosperous, complementing each other.
Although it was a bit mysterious, this was something that the Taoist priests of the Imperial Heavenly Prison advised that even the presidency of the Royal Temple agreed, saying that the fortune of Boss Li and the Li family was extremely prosperous and unspeakable, and that the preciousness was the fortune of his family.
After careful consideration, the late emperor agreed. Originally, Li Yu was appointed, and she planned to let her enter the palace to serve him. However, she was too young and was not suitable for anyone, and it was even more inappropriate for her to be with the late emperor. She made people laugh at him for
I don't repair it.
The age difference is too big, and the ages of grandfather and granddaughter cannot enter the palace.
Now this imperial edict shows a problem. The new emperor could not suppress this luck and was backfired. A series of things made him confused and his chair was almost unstable.
The border began to test frequently. If you don’t change your words, you will probably think that the border soldiers will rebel.
In addition, the military pay needs a lot of money, so the new emperor dared not delay and paid off the military pay first, but he couldn't take care of other aspects. Fortunately, he still had the brain and did not dare to deduct the soldiers' money, so he could only go from other places.
Frugality and increase taxes, the people suffer in a miserable way.
Now the new emperor urgently needs Boss Li to surrender, even if he doesn't say anything, he just needs to use his reputation to conquer the grassland cavalry on the border.
A famous general of a generation, he could not find a replacement.
King Ye and Boss Li repeatedly discussed and decided to surrender. It was not because they had no backbone, but because the people on the border needed stability and it was best not to fight.
The people need stability and do not want the war to be poisoned. The new emperor can step down and where should the people live and work in peace.
Boss Li not only considers himself and his family, but also takes a step back with the soldiers who have worked together.
The new emperor was able to give a rehabilitation edict this time, which was also received by the soldiers on the border who jointly submitted a memorandum, and he made a rebellion for his two families.
He had to leave his friends behind injustice, and his brothers were loyal to him, and he also wanted to leave them a chance to breathe and prepare for their future return.
After discussing the matter, the monarch and ministers started from the overall situation and considered the stability of the country. Boss Li chose to bow his head by default.
Geng Li looked at Boss Li's laughing face and opened his mouth to say something, but Princess Ye took the lead.
"General Geng, stay at the forefront of being a human being."
Geng Li hesitated for a moment, grabbed the imperial edict, stepped forward a few steps, knelt on one knee and presented the imperial edict in front of Boss Li.
Boss Li never humiliated him, so he took the imperial edict readily and chuckled.
"Geng Li, you have also served as the General. How do you feel? It's very glorious."
A smile on the corner of the lips.
Geng Li was full of bitter mouth, lowered his head and stood up and returned to his seat. Without saying a word, he raised his glass and drank it all.
So what if you become a general? If you don’t have the ability, you still can’t sit steadily. If you can’t help those veterans, you won’t listen to him at all, it’s useless.
All the civil and military officials looked down on him and were unwilling to get close to him. He didn't know if he had chosen the right person. Is it worth it to be today?
Mr. Li threw the imperial edict aside without even looking at it, and he didn't even move the chair and sat steadily.
If it were put before, Boss Li had to kneel down to receive the order and curry favor with the people who gave the orders. Now, it is Geng Li who kneels on one knee to send him the imperial edict.
Li Yu looked at his father with deep heartache and worry in his eyes.
Boss Li looked up and saw his daughter's worried eyes, grinned and comforted her emotions.
Li Yu lowered his head and did not look at Geng Li again, for fear that he would be too murderous and too deeply hate Geng Li would notice it. He would not dare to look at him again after a glance, for fear that he would reveal his emotions and would ruin major events.
She only held the wine glass and dipped it in her lips but didn't drink it, and kept her mind clear.
Gu Lei and Li Rui just toasted with wine glasses and didn't drink much.
The singing and dancing performance began. Li Yu focused on appreciating the singing and dancing. Since he could not do it, he should be calm. Hunters must have enough patience to capture better prey.
Geng Li was not making trouble, everyone was having fun and laughing.
Everyone left one after another until the banquet ended.
Boss Li led the old man and his wife and daughter back, and Geng Li suddenly called him.
"General Li, we can work with the dynasty. I can give you the general's position. No one in the Li family lives."
"Have you ever thought about the day when the people of the world could not hold back, how should the people of the world view you? Your Geng family was also a loyal and patriotic minister. Do you regret it until today? How should you explain to your ancestors?
Explain to the people of the world?”
Boss Li spoke in a deep voice, looked at him deeply, turned around and helped his wife leave.
Li Yu didn't look back, she was afraid that she wouldn't help but kill him when she turned around.
Geng Li looked at their backs as he walked away, feeling deeply powerless. The situation on the border was getting worse and worse. I don’t know how long it would last.
The new emperor was addicted to alchemy and women, and he did not have the ambitions and pride of the past, leaving only debauchery and disheartened.
The court ministers only know how to fight, and the generals do not work hard to protect themselves. The disaster year has just passed and it has not ended, the people have not recovered, the taxes are getting heavier, and the border still needs military pay.
These questions are like snowballs, getting bigger and bigger, and hatred is still in everyone's hearts. The people have begun to compile songs and call the new emperor a useless snack and go to Avici Hell after his death.
It was simply a joke, and he also became the sinner of the Geng family.
So what about the general? The generals do not recognize him, the soldiers do not accept him, and because of the authority, I cannot openly resist, but I can not do my best.
It is as difficult as climbing to heaven, completely different from what he expected when he was a good master. How could things have come to this point?
My heavenly dynasty cannot be without Li Qi, but Geng Li can be without.
