Chapter 51 The Great Hall Award (Part 2)

"The soldiers of the Xijun from Xuan'an entered the hall!"













"The soldiers of the Xijun from Xuan'an entered the hall!"













The shouts came down, and after a moment, a group of people walked out of the pavement beside Qifeng Pavilion. There were twenty-four soldiers of the Anxi Army. Some of them were wearing military uniforms, while others were wearing white clothes. This was the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Civilians or soldiers who had no official positions must wear white clothes when they met the emperor. White was the national color of the Tang Dynasty, and white clothes were also noble clothes.

Li Siye held his head up and walked into Hanyuan Hall first, followed by Li Qing'an. The third place was Xi Yuanqing, but Xi Yuanqing led his army to guard Xiao Bolu and could not come to the east to receive rewards. Following Li Qing'an was Li Fei Shouyu, followed by He Lou Yurun, Li Fei Yuanli, Tian Zhen, Duan Xiushi, Bai Yuanguang. The two of them were He Yanming and Han Jinping.

The group of people were all tall and majestic. Although they were only twenty-four people, they gave people an invisible pressure. Everyone in the hall secretly applauded and talked a lot.

"I have such a person in the Tang Dynasty, and the frontier is safe!"

"The person in front is the world's number one sword, Li Siye, the one behind him, I heard that it is Anxi's first arrow, and the bow and arrow are extremely powerful." Someone who knows the inside story quietly introduced to the people around him.

"I heard that the world's number one arrow is Fan Yang's Shi Siming. Can he surpass Shi Siming?"

"Although Shi Siming's archery skills are superb, he may not be as cruel as this man. I heard from the Anxi soldiers that this man would see blood when he shot an arrow. There were countless Tuqi Shiren and Tubo people who died in his hands."

From the moment Li Qing'an entered the hall, he looked at Hanyuan Hall. This palace representing the highest level of the Tang Dynasty. The buildings of the Tang Dynasty were completely different from those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The brackets of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were very small and complex, lacking a sense of momentum. The buildings of the Tang Dynasty supported the roof with complex large brackets and beams and pillars, making the palace show a grand and majestic momentum. Especially the terrain of Hanyuan Hall is very high. Looking out of the hall, it gives people a feeling of being arrogant in the world.

The hall is open, with ministers standing far away on both sides. In the front row are high-ranking officials sitting on the ground, more than ten feet away from them, and each has a spacious seat.

When Li Qing'an walked to the front, he saw Li Linfu. Li Linfu nodded slightly to him, but there was still a person sitting in Li Linfu's head, wearing a golden crown and a red and yellow robe. Li Qing'an realized his thoughts and realized that this person must be Li Heng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Heng was also looking at them calmly, and only glanced slightly, his eyes drooped. He was not very interested.

However, Li Longji's eyes were bright and full of desire to find the truth. They swept through their faces one by one. Finally, his eyes were frozen on Li Qing'an. Yes, this young man is very different from ordinary people. He has a tall and burly figure, a contoured face, and a long scar on his forehead, giving people a man's masculinity and coldness, but these are not his charm. There is an indescribable distinction between his every move. His eyes are calm and sharp, and flashing with a bright light that penetrates the heart.

Li Longji was attracted by him all of a sudden. He smiled slightly. The young man Yang Huahua said was the unique one, which must be this person. He looked down at the document in his hand. Li Qing'an, the captain of the Anxi scout camp, followed by his military achievements in the Battle of Xiaobolu. The vanguard opened the way and wiped out the Tubo army in Jialan City, Qiaodu Polechuan, killed forty-seven enemies in Lianyunbao, seized Anuyue City, and cut off the Tubo vine bridge.

Li Longji smiled faintly and there should be another one, shooting the Tubo princess. Gao Xianzhi thought it was not a credit and hid it, but Li Longji thought it was a great credit. He liked such a man who never cared about the battlefield. This was the real Tang Dynasty soldier.

"I will meet your Majesty, and I wish you a long life!"

The group of twenty-four people practiced etiquette yesterday and bowed to Li Longji together. When the Tang officials saw that the emperor did not need to kneel down, they just had to bow to him.

Li Longji waved his hand and smiled, "Dear soldiers and soldiers are free from gifts!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers stood up. At this time, the young supervisor in the hall opened the imperial edict and read loudly: "The soldiers of Anxi bravely fought against the enemy and made contributions to the country. They should reward them according to their merits. Now the Hanyuan Hall commended twenty-four people and showed them to the world with their heroic deeds. On the first day of April of the sixth year of Tianbao, the army of the Celestial Dynasty left Kucha...."

The young magistrate in the hall was passionate and read it for nearly half an hour. Finally, it was the moment when he was finally appointed. He stopped and looked at Li Siye and said, "Li Siye, the captain of the Modao Zhaowu, sacrificed his life to kill the enemy, seized Lianyun Castle and made great contributions, killed the enemy first, and was specially appointed as the General of the Jinwu Guard and the General Zhuangwu of the Martial Arts, and was awarded the founding county magistrate, with a reward of 3,000 taels of silver and 500 pieces of silk."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Li Siye knelt down on one knee and saluted a military salute.

Li Longji nodded and turned his eyes to Li Qing'an again. He now understood why Li Qing'an's achievements ranked second, that is, he shot and killed the Tubo princess. However, Li Longji did not intend to change anything. When he approved the Ministry of War to issue the military list, he had accepted Gao Lishi's suggestion and raised Li Qing'an for half a level, making him stand with Li Siye. The reason at that time was that Han and Hu were equal.

Shaoqing, the supervisor in the hall, continued to whisper: "Scout Li Qing'an, the vanguard, opened the way, fought bloody battles in Lianyunbao, bravely seized Anuyue City, cut off the Tubo vine bridge, ensure that the Tang army captured Xiaobolu, and made great contributions, and could be ranked first in the first place. He specially named Qianniu Guard General and Zhuangwu General, and was awarded the founding county magistrate, and rewarded three thousand taels of silver and five hundred pieces of silk."

At this time, Li Lin, the Minister of War, was stunned. He remembered that Li Qingan was obviously the fourth-rank prince's official general of the Central Guard, but how did he become the fourth-rank Qianniu General of the Central Guard, and he was ranked first in the first place. He looked at Li Linfu in confusion, but Li Linfu smiled and stroked his long beard. Li Lin immediately realized that this was a different agreement between the top leaders.

Not only the officials of the Ministry of War were stunned, but even Li Qingan himself did not expect that he would be named General of the Central Army, but also named Prince of Kaiguo County and General of Sanguan Zhuangwu. He changed his mind and vaguely guessed one or two, which might be related to Gao Lishi. He quickly glanced at Gao Lishi and saw Gao Lishi lightly closed his eyes, as if an old monk had entered meditation. Just as Li Qingan's eyes were about to move away, Gao Lishi's eyes opened and he smiled slightly at him.

"Li Qing'an stepped forward and was granted a title."

Li Qing'an was overjoyed, but his face was not revealed. He stepped forward and half-kneeled to salute a military salute, and said in a deep voice: "Last general Li Qing'an, thank Your Majesty for the reward."

Just as he was about to get up, Li Longji smiled and said, "General Li, I will reward you with a purple goldfish bag to strengthen the arrow on the vine bridge in the deep ravine."
