Chapter 19 Qin Qiong raises the cauldron and bargains with gold [Please recommend and collect]
at this time.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were both confused.
The two looked at each other calmly, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Qin Qiong's eyes were still a little worried.
Because this incident proves that what Su Chen said is right, doesn’t that mean that the future of the Cheng family is in doubt?!
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were a little excited.
Everything Su Chen said was right. As long as he followed Su Chen's instructions, he could resolve the lottery.
It's better than him not knowing anything.
Li Shimin said that he would not award the reward until he retired from the court, and continued to discuss matters at this time.
"The Turks invaded the border and Li Jing was trapped. I was very angry and planned to send elite soldiers and strong generals to assist and defeat the Turks in one fell swoop."
"It was decided some time ago that Duke Hu would lead the troops in person. During these days, Duke Hu was ill. I originally planned to change the general today, but Duke Hu seemed to be in good spirits, so he continued to serve as the general and went on the expedition. However,
Have a question?"
Qin Qiong immediately stood up and patted his chest, "I can still eat five meals a day, and eat three kilograms of meat and half a bucket of rice every meal."
Everyone exclaimed.
Li Shimin was also pleasantly surprised, "It's really gratifying that the old general is still able to eat."
Yuchi Gong was worried that his old brother was just faking it, and he also wanted to go on an expedition to gain military glory, so he went out to the army and said, "Since Brother Qin has real ability, why not show it off?"
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Many generals in the court wanted to go on an expedition, and they all expressed their intention to let Qin Qiong show off his skills.
Qin Qiong laughed loudly, with a heroic air, and said: "Okay, there is a cauldron above the court, I can flick it away with my fingers."
Everyone was shocked.
I saw Qin Qiong arriving in front of the huge cauldron in the Taiji Hall. The huge cauldron was ten feet tall and wide, and could accommodate more than a dozen people.
However, Qin Qiong actually held the foot of the giant cauldron with one hand and lifted it up, shocking everyone.
Before it was over, Qin Qiong threw the giant cauldron high into the sky and caught it three times. On the third time, he flicked the giant cauldron and flew it outside the gate of Tai Chi Hall.
boom!
The stairs outside Tai Chi Hall were pulled out into three deep grooves.
"Good job!"
"Hu Guogong's ability is still as good as before."
"More than that, he is even more powerful than before. I'm afraid he has surpassed the average great master."
"As expected of me, a hero of the Tang Dynasty."
All the soldiers were convinced, and Yuchi Gong was also convinced, cupping his fists and bowing to him in salute.
Li Shimin stood up even more excitedly, "Haha, good, Duke Hu is so capable, he is worthy of being the pinnacle of our Tang Dynasty. Princess Hu will fight this time, and our military power of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be famous among the Turks."
Qin Qiong clasped his fists and retreated to the crowd of ministers.
After doing all this, he didn't blush or breath, all because Su Chen had cured all the old diseases in his body.
Not only that, the true energy of Changchun Gong also revived the meridians in Qin Qiong's body, making his skills greatly increased after he returned, and his body seemed to be ten years younger.
Li Shimin was very happy and said: "Okay, okay, I have decided to reward the general to strengthen the military power and serve Duke Hu!"
As soon as this move came out, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and other civil servants frowned, feeling that it was inappropriate.
But there were cheers from the generals, and everyone was extremely excited.
Only Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were shocked.
Coming.
here we go again.
The Heavenly Master is worthy of being a Heavenly Master, and he really knows things like a god.
Wei Zheng immediately came out to object, "Your Majesty wants to strengthen the military power, so just reward Hu Guogong. It is not necessary to reward all the generals. Moreover, this may lead to arrogant soldiers and strong generals, which is really inappropriate."
All the generals were furious, pointing at Wei Zheng's nose and shouting curses.
The civil servants were not used to them. After all, many of them were able to go to Lingyan Pavilion later, and they all had the merit of following the dragon.
So the two sides spat at each other and almost started a fight.
Li Shimin did not stop them, but let them scold them for a long time. When someone was about to take action, he stopped them with words.
"Okay, this is the Tai Chi Palace. You are all the pillars of this world. How can you yell like a village woman?!"
"Prime Minister Wei also makes sense. If this is the case, then reward a few generals with higher prestige in the army. After all, the generals will have both successes and defenses. If there is no balance, the guards will inevitably slack off."
Wei Zheng heard that the reward was not for the whole army, but for individuals. Although he was still dissatisfied, he said no more.
After all, the emperor gave in.
If the fight continues, I might as well give up the throne to him.
Li Shimin said: "The Duke of Hu was granted the title of Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, leading an army of 100,000 troops; the Duke of Chen was granted the title of Hou Junji, the Border Guard Ambassador; the Duke of E was granted the title of Lieutenant Chi Gong..."
Once the reward was announced, Cheng Yaojin became more and more nervous.
finally.
Li Shimin said of him, "I appointed Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin as the general in charge of the army and the general in charge of Chang'an City..."
There were a lot of people behind them, which confused all the soldiers.
Yuchi Gong was even a little jealous. The emperor must have been too kind to Cheng Yaojin, with such a generous reward.
Wei Zheng and others all frowned. Cheng Yao's gold reward was too generous, which made them feel that it was against the rules.
But they also felt that it was Cheng Yaojin who commanded Chang'an city defense, which was probably the emperor's stabilizing move.
Only Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin felt cold in their hearts after hearing this.
Before the emperor could finish speaking, Cheng Yaojin quickly knelt down, while Yuchi Gong said: "Cheng Zhijie, there are too many rewards. You don't even have time to be happy, so you have to thank me?"
All the generals laughed and made a joke, which was considered as a way to get out of anger.
Li Shimin also stopped and said with a smile: "Gong Lu, I haven't finished the reward yet, so there is no need to be in a hurry to express your gratitude."
Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, you have given me a generous reward, but I don't deserve it."
All the ministers were stunned.
How could official fan Cheng Yaojin be so enlightened?
Li Shimin said: "The Duke of Lu's merits are unparalleled, and he deserves this award. I have made up my mind and there is no need to refuse."
Cheng Yaojin said: "If your Majesty really wants a reward, please reward my son Cheng Chuliang."
Everyone was confused.
Cheng Yaojin was so shameless that he asked for a reward for his son.
However, they also understood that Cheng Yaojin did not want a reward because he wanted to give it to his own son!
Li Shimin said: "Just give them a reward together."
Cheng Yaojin shook his head directly, "My son, Cheng Chuliang, has done nothing but merits and should not be rewarded. If Your Majesty wants a reward, I am willing to reward him at a discounted price for his merits."
Everyone laughed.
Yuchi Gong smiled and said: "How can anyone discount their merits and reward them to their children?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "I, old Cheng, have received enough rewards, but my children have no abilities. They will just eat and wait to die in this life, so I want to get some rewards for them."
Everyone laughed and shook their heads.
At this time, they all felt that at the height of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was really too early to seek official positions for their children.
Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaidao was still a prince-in-law, and he was only a junior official of the sixth rank.
They just feel that the days ahead are long.
Li Shimin smiled more and more, "Since Lu Guogong wants to give the reward to his son at a discount, although it is a bit absurd, he loves his son and it is nothing wrong."
"Then how about making Cheng Chuliang the Duke of Dong'a County and Duke of Lu?!"
Cheng Yaojin was almost scared to death and said quickly: "Your Majesty, he is not worthy."
The ministers also felt that giving it to a county prince all at once was too exaggerated, and they all opposed it.
Li Shimin had no choice but to say: "Then make him the Duke of Dong'e County. Duke Lu doesn't want to take any credit for his great achievements. I want to give my son a title. A county Duke should have it."
It's hard for everyone to say anything.
Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to end the reward and also end the court meeting.
but.
Cheng Yaojin, however, refused to give up and said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Everyone was a little angry, and Li Shimin also felt that he had given too much, which made Cheng Yaojin inflated. The reward was not enough, and he asked for more?!
However, he is not angry.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lu Guogong, speak directly if you have anything to say."
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my son Cheng Chuliang has grown up and now has a noble status. He is about to be sent out to serve. I would like to ask for a marriage from your Majesty."
"Wow!"
There was an uproar in Tai Chi Hall.
"How dare you, Cheng Yaojin, stare at His Majesty's daughter."
"It's too much."
"Cheng Zhijie, you don't know what is good and what is evil."
Everyone was criticizing Cheng Yaojin, but only Qin Qiong understood that Cheng Yaojin followed Su Chen's teachings and resolved the issue.
