The ministers' slightly calm mood became excited again.
All the princes in the court will be confused and will not respond!
Even with the help of Li Chengzhi's powerful and weird thunder, it is an indisputable fact that Liangzhou's remaining troops used thousands of armored cavalry to destroy Du Lun's twelve tribes and conquer Touman City.
And for such a powerful brigade to voluntarily stay in the north of the mountain, willing to become the forerunner of the imperial court and the six towns to resist Rouran, it is a great joy.
And because he and Rouran have a deadly feud, he doesn’t have to worry about backstabbing from his followers, so it’s the best of both worlds.
There are only two cases, Li Chengzhi killed them first and then reported them, and agreed to the request of the Yanyu Liangzhou Relic Ministry, which is almost negligible.
Furthermore, after experiencing a series of shocks such as the sudden change of fertile fields, the invasion of Rouran, and the sudden pacification, the ministers have already understood an extremely profound lesson and truth: as Li Chengzhi said, things that can be solved with money can only be solved with money.
It never counts.
Fortunately, Chaoyan still has money for the time being.
From Yuan Cheng on down, Qi Fu looked at the expressions of his colleagues one after another, and most of them guessed what they were thinking: Compared with his ability to destroy Du Lun and the significance of Jisi Mountain North, what is his origin?
As Li Chengzhi expected, no one would be confused about where the Liangzhou Relics came from at this juncture.
All the ministers glanced at each other and bowed down in unison: "I have no doubts about this, please just ask the Queen Mother to make a decision with Your Majesty..."
Gao Ying felt like she had eaten honey, and she was very happy for her high vision. In addition, she was also a little disappointed: she was working hard and was ready to fight for Li Chengzhi.
"According to the advice of the princes, I can respond to all the requests of the deceased. I immediately issued an edict and rushed 800 miles to the fertile field. I asked all the ministers to order the ministers to prepare grain, grass, cloth, etc. today and transport them to Liuzhou as soon as possible.
Town..."
Gao Ying replied and then hesitated, "Do you think that Sikong's dispatch of troops should remain as before?"
"I thought that the fertile fields have been leveled and the Du Lun tribe has been overthrown. Even if the ugly slaves of Yujiulu are angry and want to raise troops for revenge, it will not happen overnight. The most urgent task is to control the six towns, so there is no need to send troops so urgently.
..."
Gao Zhao paused for a moment, then raised his hands to Yuan Cheng and Yuan Jia: "Gao thought that in addition to the food and fodder given to the deceased, he could also choose a general who could be used, and he could only lead three to five thousand more troops.
After going to the fertile fields, His Royal Highness King Qinghe can be at your disposal..."
Yes!
As one of the Gu Mingmen, Yuan Yi was not sent to the six towns just for decoration. Since there was no need to fight for the time being, there was no need to send so many troops, and there was no need to send Gao Zhao for another trip.
Otherwise, God knows what mishaps the Queen Mother will cause...
Yuan Cheng was deeply convinced and said: "What Sikong said is great!"
Yuan Jia and Zhu Fu also nodded gently and agreed one by one.
Relatively speaking, the atmosphere in the Wei Dynasty Hall at this stage is quite harmonious. Just because all the ministers know that they are facing a formidable enemy, they should work together and deal with the outside world. After the world is calmed down, it will not be too late to fight for power...<
/p>
Several resolutions were agreed upon in this way, and all the ministers felt relieved and their confidence became much greater.
Li Chengzhi was able to handle even such sudden changes with ease, as were Yuan Huai, Yuan Li, and Yu Zhong from Liangzhou.
His contribution is not insignificant, but neither the Queen Mother nor the assistants mentioned a word about how to reward Li Chengzhi.
First, there is currently only Li Chengzhi’s battle report. Yuan Yi, Luo Jian, etc. have not sent a single word, which is too one-sided. Therefore, we need to wait for the news from all parties to be sent to Beijing before discussing.
Secondly, Li Chengzhi has already respected him as a county prince at this time, and he has only been promoted for a few months. If the reward this time is too high, how should he be granted it after he pacifies Yuan Huai?
All the ministers were in a daze: How old is Li Chengzhi, but he has no reward or title?
As for Gao Ying, she has made up her mind that she will never treat Li Chengzhi badly. She will just wait for him to win again...
It was like a collective amnesia, and no one mentioned it again. However, Yuan Ying suddenly had a whim and asked curiously: "Having captured Dou Ling alive, why didn't you bring him to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?"
"Dead!"
Yuan Jia stroked his beard and said nonchalantly: "I think he was too worried. He fell ill as soon as he set off from Woye Fang. He was frightened and sick all the way, and died before reaching Guanzhong... But he brought the body over and underwent martial arts.
The Duke of Yi County (Li Ping), Cui Shangshu (Cui Liang) and other officials in the Siyi Pavilion identified him and said that he was undoubtedly the leader of Dou..."
As long as he is the real leader, it will be fine, and everyone knows Li Chengzhi's temperament, and he should not be able to do things like "Li Dai Tao Zhi" or "Fake his head and pretend to attack", so no one cares.
Everything has been decided, and there are various offices and provinces. Gao Ying has not long been in charge, but at this time he still has a little understanding. He just told the ministers not to discount and let the posthumous ministers look down on the imperial court.
After a while, the court meeting broke up. Gao Ying returned to Shiqian Hall and hesitated for a long time, but finally did not dare to write.
She was originally going to write a letter of praise to Li Chengzhi, so she could include a private letter.
It's not just a heartfelt confession, but she always feels that whenever they get along in private these days, Gao Zhao always has something in his words, seeming to hint at what she should do.
I always feel like I have some bad intentions...
……
The sun is closer to the west mountain, and its light is much fainter. It is like a huge fire disk, reflecting the sunset red for half a day.
The smoke from the kitchen is like a veil, covering the city. It is like a beauty lying on the couch, vague and hazy.
Farmers carrying hoes and old oxen came to the city gate one after another. Li Chengzhi got off his horse, took Li Liang and all the guards to the end.
"After entering the city, stay in the guest house with peace of mind. Try not to show yourself in public, and don't worry about me. Furthermore, Guanzhong is settled, Xi is guarding and governing well, the officials are fairly clear, and I, Sir, have excellent martial arts, so what's the worry?
Yes?"
Li Chengzhi confessed in a low voice, but Li Liang had a bitter look on his face.
Lang Jun, do you know that you are now the Duke of the county and are no longer the unknown soldier you were a year ago. Even if you are safe, you can't just surrender and do whatever you want?
If I were Xi Zhenshou, I'm sure I wouldn't think that you can't even trust him...
Li Liang was still hesitant, but Li Xian came up and said calmly: "Lang...Lang Jun, I want to take a look at home, can you?"
Which other home could it be?
Of course it’s Lijiabao...
Before Li Chengzhi responded, he first heard a crisp "pop" sound, and then saw Li Xian covering the back of his head and lowering his head.
"Why did you hit him?"
Li Chengzhi said dissatisfied, "Li Xian is already twenty-two, and his eldest son is already five years old. Even if he says something wrong, even if you are your biological father, you should save some face for him in front of outsiders. Don't treat him like a child anymore."
Treat it as usual..."
"Lang Jun taught you a lesson!"
Li Song said he was respectful, but he was very disapproving in his heart: If Li Xian could achieve even half of the potential of Lang Jun, I would not only give him face, but even let me call him my father instead...
After a pause, Li Chengzhi persuaded Li Xian in a gentle voice: "You can't go back home. Not only can't you go back, but you can't even get even close to your ancestral home county... Remember, this is Jingzhou, not the capital. I recognize your father."
, Li Da, how many people are there with your two brothers? Once someone recognizes them, can they still think that you and others are pretending to be resurrected?"
Over the past year, Li Xian has been obeyed by Li Songzhi, and he has awakened a lot. He still dares to argue like he did a year ago, just admitting his mistakes.
While they were talking, everyone lined up at the city gate.
Starting from Woye, Li Chengzhi first went to Xiazhou and then to Bogulu. He was delayed for several days, so he was slower than Yuan Zhi.
At this time, Yuan Zhi had already joined Li Shao. And since entering Guanzhong, Yuan Zhi held up the Emperor's Banner and swaggered past. Therefore, everyone thought that Li Chengzhi had already arrived in Qizhou.
But he came to Jingzhou quietly...
There were only more than 200 Li family retainers who supported Li Chengzhi when he went south. In addition to the more than 60 people originally from Luoyang, Li Song picked another 100, along with Li Zhang and a group of artillery.
Li Chengxue is still temporarily in charge of the west sea, and Huangfu Rang is in charge of the northern part of the mountain. Li Chengzhi also told them that when the imperial edict comes, the two of them can start moving their troops eastward.
It is a pity that we have cultivated the fields in the West Sea this year, as well as the mines and factories.
But in the long run, it can be ignored: there is everything in the West Sea and the Hetao. Such as water sources, various mines, and good horse breeding land.
What Li Chengzhi is most envious of is the paddy fields in Shannan that can be cultivated with a little cultivation.
After all, no matter how many weapons, armors and explosives are made, they cannot be used as food, right?
Food is the most important thing for the people. At this stage, the earth is the foundation...
Seeing that among the farmers lining up to enter the city, there were suddenly dozens of tall and strong men, all holding horses and wearing knives. The guards on the city tower suddenly became nervous.
Just when he was about to ask, Li Liang took the first step and handed over the customs clearance document. The guard saw that it was issued by Xiazhou. After another cross-examination, he said that it was an order to confer the governor of Xiazhou to deliver a message to Xi Zhen.
It’s just a letter, why do we need so many guards?
He's not a big shot, is he?
Suspicious in his heart, the guard dutifully checked the gates, checked everyone's certificates (household registration certificates), and even checked their appearance and appearance several times.
For Li Chengzhi today, it is not too easy to create several real identities for Li Song and others, and it really cannot be real anymore, so no matter how carefully the guards check, they can't find any problems.
When it was Li Chengzhi's turn, Chengmen Zhuangshuai was slightly surprised, thinking that he was indeed a big shot, otherwise why would his appearance be so outstanding?
I just don’t know that at such a young age, my hair turns gray first?
When everyone entered the city, Li Song, Li Liang and other retainers went to the official residence, while Li Chengzhi only took Li Rui and Li Cong to the Governor's Mansion.
Looking at the blackened city wall and only half of the city caves that had been repaired, Li Chengzhi couldn't help but sigh.
A year ago, I was almost burned to death in the city wall by Liu Huizhen.
It was also at that time that he shot Hu Shichang, the governor of Jingzhou, with one arrow, and completely formed a deadly feud with the Hu family in Anding.
Nowadays, things have changed, and the Hu family is gradually declining, while the Li family, the ancestral home of the common people a year ago, is now at its peak.
At that time, I was still ignorant and only wanted to save my life. When did I dare to think that one day I would be a prince and the pillar of the country?
Sighing secretly, Li Chengzhi walked slowly through the streets.
As far as Guanzhong is concerned, this year has been a good year with good weather and good weather. Except for the military disaster at the beginning of the year, there have been no major disasters.
If you have clothes on your body and food at home, the people's customs will naturally be upright. In addition, Xi Kangsheng is vigorous and vigorous, pays equal attention to kindness and power, and the officials are clean and honest, without any excessive extortion, so Jingzhou can still live and work in peace and contentment.
It can be seen from the faces of the farmers I met outside the city and the businesses that are closing down in the city that the happiness index is quite high.
In fact, ordinary people are the easiest to satisfy, and their requirements are very low: nothing more than filling their bellies and covering their bodies...
He walked slowly like this until it was completely dark and soldiers patrolling the streets appeared. Li Chengzhi stopped wandering and went to the government office.
In fact, as soon as Li Chengzhi entered the city, a gate guard reported to the governor's office. The official in charge of foreign affairs only heard that he was an eighth-grade soldier, and what he sent was just an ordinary letter. Seeing that he did not go to the Yamen immediately,
I guessed it was definitely not important, so I didn’t care about it.
He also thought that he might not come until he went to office tomorrow, so even the servants in Xi Kangsheng's house didn't know...
The official looked at the order letter in his hand, and then looked at Li Chengzhi carefully, feeling a little unsure.
If it is an urgent report, there will be corresponding orders and procedures, not to mention Zhang Sima and Da Xi Zhonglang, even meeting the guard Xi Kangsheng is not a problem.
But it's just a normal business trip. I can just send it to the Yamen tomorrow. What do you mean by coming here after dark?
You claim that you are old friends with Zhang Sima and Da Xi Zhonglang. It is natural for you to come to visit, but you should also send in your greetings, right?
He obviously looks very young, but he has a white head, but he is extremely beautiful and has excellent appearance. At first glance, he is a young man from aristocratic family...
The official hesitated, then respectfully raised his hands towards Li Chengzhi: "The captain will wait a moment, and please allow me to come in first to report."
Li Chengzhi responded politely and asked Li Rui to take a piece of copper collar and give it to the ninth-grade official.
He also knew that it was very presumptuous. If it were not Xi Kangsheng, but someone who was petty and had no friendship, he would probably remember it in his heart.
However, the military situation was urgent, and Li Chengzhi did not dare to disclose his whereabouts, so he could only secretly come to see Xi Kangsheng...
With my thoughts spinning in my mind, I heard the crisp sound of hoofs falling on the stone slab from behind me, and I subconsciously turned my head.
More than a dozen soldiers, each riding a tall horse, came surrounded by Daxi.
I'm a lot stronger and darker.
My beard has grown longer, I can already hold it and stroke it, and I look much more stable.
Li Chengzhi looked at Da Xi with a smile and remained silent.
The sky was very dark, and the lantern could only illuminate a few feet in front of him, so Daxi could only vaguely see a few people standing at the door, but could not see their specific faces.
He didn't care and dismounted. Hearing the guard's greetings, he just nodded. But when he stepped onto the steps and stepped one foot over the threshold, Da Xi stopped again and glanced back suspiciously.<
/p>
Why is it that he is also a fifth-grade Zhonglang and a disciple of Xi Zhenshou, but these three people heard his name and didn't even say hello?
When he raised his eyes, he felt that the figure looked familiar. Da Xi took a closer look and his eyes bulged sharply.
Did you actually see Li Chengzhi?
Afraid of being dazzled?
Seeing that he recognized him, Li Chengzhi bowed politely: "Brother Daxi, are you okay?"
