Section 43: Li Tian is promoted to official position
Chapter 43 Li Tian’s promotion
Section 43
When Li Tian and Wang Ping's troops arrived in the capital, the city was already in panic, and many people had already begun to flee.
Originally, Li Tian and the others could arrive two days earlier, but Li Tian conducted several offensive and defensive drills on the way, which was a good opportunity for him to learn. Lieutenant General Wang Ping was familiar with military books and analyzed various battle situations.
They were used very appropriately, and Li Tian really learned a lot about military use.
When they arrived in the capital this time, His Majesty the Emperor and all the civil and military ministers came out to greet him in person, which excited Marquis Wang Ping. For them, Wang Ping was now a life-saving straw, and the survival of Da'an depended on him.
.
With an army of more than 100,000, the civil and military officials felt a little more at ease, and everyone came to the Golden Palace. The emperor never let go of Wang Ping's hand from the moment he entered the palace, and the affectionate look made Li Tian go crazy.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Marquis Wang Ping, and they didn't pay much attention to Li Tian. However, there was someone who paid great attention to him. No need to ask, this person must be the Divine Envoy.
The two men followed behind and started talking quietly.
"Li Tian, I almost died in the capital this time. I suffered so many shocks. You can compensate me for my mental losses. Don't ask for more, just give me one hundred and eighty thousand. Also, be honest.
Tell me, how sure are you of guarding the capital? Don't be ridiculous, I want to listen to the truth."
"### Your wife didn't even ask me when we met, she just asked about it. I don't care whether I can keep it or not. You can ask whoever you want."
"Do you still have any fucking feelings? Forget it! I won't ask you to compensate for the loss. Tell me how sure you are."
"I didn't expect you to be so patriotic and care so much about the capital. I can't see it. It's rare. It's rare."
"It's difficult for you ###. All my savings are in my God's Palace. If you can't keep it, I'd better transfer it as soon as possible. Is it easy to defraud me of that little money?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Tian immediately became energetic and his ears almost stood up. He took the magic stick's hand with a smile and asked: "To tell you the truth, if I don't guard it for a day, I won't be able to guard it at all.
Sir, can you tell me how much property you have?"
The magic stick looked at Li Tian's face at a close distance and found that Li Tian's face was extremely twitchy. He threw Li Tian's hand away in disgust and wiped it twice on his body.
"Don't fucking try to trick me, I won't give you a penny."
"Gun, you are already quite old. Even if you want to marry a wife, give birth to a little god, a little god girl, movies and so on, you won't need so much money. According to my observation, your girl's inventory is definitely not less than the national treasury.
."
"Xiao Lizi, don't blame me. I know all the financial income and expenditure of Chaodu. Did you earn less this year? I didn't get a penny. Why do you need so much money?"
"You don't need money to fight the war. I'm here for the people of Da'an. Besides, if the capital falls, you won't even be able to transport a penny out."
"You're cruel, I'll lend it to you first, with five points of interest." The magic stick knew very well that without Li Tian's escort, his large pile of property would really not be able to be transported out of the capital.
"###, you are robbing money, you are giving it to whomever you want, I don't want it."
"Four points of breath~" The magic stick looked at Li Tian without any reaction, and then said: "Three points'"
Seeing that Li Tian still didn't answer, the magician became a little anxious.
"Damn it, you little Li Zi are ruthless. If you give me such a bad face again, I would rather leave it all to the rebels. From now on, we will never have any friendship. I will draw a little man every day to curse you and ask you to have a son."
###."
Li Tian pointed his finger at the magic stick and was so angry for a long time that he said two words: "Deal."
When the two reached an agreement, they discovered that everyone else had already entered the Golden Palace, and they were still standing outside the palace.
Everyone in the Golden Palace was still arguing fiercely. Some said they would go out and take the initiative to attack, while others said they would close the city and defend. Wang Ping couldn't see Li Tian and was extremely anxious.
"Wang Aiqing, whatever you think is good, I will listen to you, and I have decided to appoint you as the Grand Marshal to protect the country, to command the soldiers and horses of the former country to fight against the rebels." When the Emperor spoke, everyone else fell silent.
Come down and look at Wang Ping.
"Thank you for your grace, but it is difficult for me to take on this important task. I would like to recommend someone and be willing to be his deputy."
Oh, even the aloof Marquis Wang Ping is willing to be his deputy? Who is this person? Everyone is quietly waiting for the next step.
"This person is Governor Li Tian who came with me."
When the emperor heard this, even Wang Ping recommended Li Tian and was willing to be his deputy. It's hard to believe that Li Tian was really a genius.
"Wang Aiqing, this is related to the survival of the country, you have to think clearly." The emperor also wanted to ask Wang Ping to think about it carefully.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already thought about it clearly. Apart from him, I really don't have a suitable candidate for you."
The emperor nodded helplessly and said: "Okay then, I will grant Li Tian~~" Only then did the emperor and his ministers realize that there was no Li Tian in the Golden Palace.
Just when they were wondering, Li Tian and Shen Shi walked in with square steps, whispering, and with lewd smiles on their faces from time to time, as if there was no one else around.
Many civil servants are angry. Even if the country is facing a national crisis now, Li Tian is too arrogant. The gods dare not say that he has a transcendent status, but this little Li Tian dares to act in the golden age.
When the palace was like this, several civil servants immediately came out and criticized him mercilessly, making Li Tian feel a little baffled.
The emperor didn't care about these etiquette now. This was the time to employ people, so he waved his hand indifferently and stopped the attack of this group of civil servants.
"Li Tian, just now Wang Ping Aiqing recommended you to me, and I have great trust in you. I will make you the Grand Marshal of the Protector of the Country, grant you the title of earl, and command the Da'an army to fight against the rebels." The emperor paid his dues this time.
The title of nobility is divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron. Li Tian jumped two levels at once and directly accepted the title of earl. This was the first time in the history of Da'an.
"Li Tian, thank you Your Majesty. I am willing to shed my blood and sacrifice my life for my safety." But he said in his heart, wouldn't he be a fool?
"Okay, I saw you right. You are worthy of being the number one scholar in Da'an. Then tell me how we should defend the city now."
Li Tian thought for a moment, then glanced at the civil and military ministers on both sides, and said, "Your Majesty, this is easy to handle. I have a plan to make our capital safe and sound."
When the emperor and the ministers heard this, they all looked at Li Tian in surprise. They did not expect that Li Tian was really capable of such a plan.
The magic stick didn't want to do it anymore, and whispered from the side: "You fucking lied to me, the deal just now is void."
Li Tian rolled his eyes at him and then said: "Your Majesty, you know what is the most powerful weapon in the world."
The emperor looked at Li Tian in confusion, "What weapon?"
"Your Majesty, that is the mouthpiece of people. A good person can be criticized by the mouthpiece, and a good official can be criticized by public opinion as a corrupt official. The greatest wealth of Da'an is not the army, but this group of civil servants. Over the years, soldiers have been
I, Da'an, am nothing at all. Compared with the literati, I have no status at all.
Therefore, I suddenly had the idea that when the rebels came, I would ask the civil servants in the palace to criticize him verbally and in writing on the city wall, weeping and lamenting for three days, and giving him all the sages and saints he could use.
At that time, the rebels will be so ashamed that they will either find a stone to hit them to death, or touch their necks to commit suicide. The rebels can be wiped out without spending a single soldier. This is really a blessing for the great peace and a blessing for the people."
Everyone could tell that this was Li Tian's retaliation for what had just happened, but he also pointed out the shortcomings of Da'an for so many years. The emphasis on civil servants and the neglect of military talents has made no one available now. The civil servants lowered their heads in embarrassment. Many military generals
Li Tian's views have changed greatly, and he feels grateful in his heart. Over the years, someone has helped them vent their bad words.
The emperor also smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "Li Tian, I also know that for so many years, I have valued literature over military affairs and lost the balance of governing the country. Alas, I am sorry for these generals."
The emperor's words moved these generals to tears, and they knelt on the ground and called our emperor holy.
The emperor and everyone calmed down and said to Li Tian: "Li Tian, let's talk about it, but now is a critical moment. How do you think we can defend the city?"
"Your Majesty, I have the courage to express my opinion. In my opinion, what we have to do now is two words, that is to abandon the city. To put it harshly, it means to run away, and to run away desperately."
Li Tian's words stirred up waves. Run away? Do you have to run away desperately??
