The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 263 Asking for Rewards Directly
Chapter 263 Asking for Rewards Directly
Seeing Li Chengqian's cautious appearance, Li Er also said guiltily: "Gao Ming! Sit down!"

"My son obeys the order!" After bowing his hands and saluting, Li Chengqian sat beside Li Er.

However, the father and son were driving in the same car, and always felt that there was a lot to say, but the words were taken back when they came to their lips.

In the end, the person in charge tacitly avoided talking about that topic.

Li Er said to Li Chengqian lightly: "Although I can't let you worship the King of Beiliang as your teacher!"

"But on weekdays, if you spend more time with the King of Beiliang, I will definitely turn a blind eye and pretend that I don't know!"

"After all, he is the king of Beiliang, he is an important minister in my court, and he is a first-rank official!"

"You must not wait until I pass on the throne to you, and then establish a relationship with the king of Beiliang!"

After Li Chengqian heard this sentence, he bowed his hands to Li Er very happily and said, "Thank you, Father!"

"My son must live up to my father's high expectations, and keep a certain distance from the King of Beiliang!"

Li Er nodded lightly, and said slowly: "I hope you know how to advance and retreat in your heart!"

After the words fell, the father and son fell into silence again.

It seems that apart from Bai Jingyi, there is no other topic between them.

The team came quickly, and when they reached the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Li Chengqian bowed to Li Er and said, "Your servant will leave!"

"Wait a minute!" Li Er quickly stopped Li Chengqian's figure, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to say: "Don't do stupid things again in the future!"

Li Chengqian turned around through the curtain of the carriage, bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "My son is guilty!"

Then the whole team left the Prince's Mansion slowly.

Coincidentally, Li Er actually felt his heart beat a little faster.

He even laughed at himself and said, "Haha! I am so urgent to face my son! If Guanyin's servant finds out about this, wouldn't he want to laugh at me!"

After watching the team walk away, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, his heart was filled with infinite gratitude to Bai Jingyi.

At the same time, Bai Jingyi suddenly realized that he had not yet been rewarded for his contributions.

When the Turkic army was repelled back then, Li Er said that he would give him a reward, and he even proposed to Li Er.

He rewarded himself with all the Shandong gentry, but Li Er didn't mention it.

Tomorrow morning, this matter must be brought up again!Otherwise, this Li Er definitely knew it in his heart, but he pretended not to remember...

When the next day, the sky brightened.

Li Er led the civil and military officials in the daily morning court!
Today Li Chengqian was even more energetic, as if he was a hundred times more active than usual.

This made Li Tai very puzzled, and he thought in his heart: "Could it be that the king of Beiliang accepted the invitation of the emperor's brother!?"

"Otherwise, why would Brother Huang be so hard to hide his joy today!?"

What puzzled Li Tai the most was that Li Chengqian stood beside him this morning.

Although Li Tai was puzzled, he just glanced at him sideways and didn't speak.

And today, Xu Maogong, who had disappeared for a long time, finally came back.

Li Er looked at the dusty Xu Maogong, and said with a little reproach: "I have ordered you to support the Liangzhou battlefield!"

"But until today, I have only seen your figure, openly resisting the decree, what should you do!?"

Xu Maogong said in embarrassment: "Return to the Holy Lord! The old minister knows that the situation is very urgent! So he led the army to travel by water!"

"However, on the way, soldiers from Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos to attack the Tang border!"

"Under extreme desperation, the veteran can only divide his troops into two groups, but when the reinforcements arrive in Liangzhou! The war is over, and the Holy One has already returned to the court!"

"The veteran delayed the military plane, please punish him!"

After listening to Xu Maogong's words, Li Er snorted coldly and said: "Hmph! These barbarians of different races always like to take advantage of the fire to rob us and disturb our Tang border!"

"Wait for my Tang Dynasty to recuperate, and when the army is strong and the horse is strong! Goguryeo must pay the price it deserves!"

However, after the officials heard what Li Er said.Most did not speak.

Only those old ministers who followed Li Er stood up one after another, bowed to Li Er and said, "Goguryeo is a barbaric country, and it is right to send troops to conquer it!"

"Let the blood prove it, my Great Tang Tianwei is inviolable!"

Even though he said that, none of the old ministers of the previous dynasty, including those ministers of the aristocratic family, said anything.

After all, the former Sui Dynasty was not only emptied of power by the aristocratic family because of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, but also led to the demise of the prosperous dynasty.

So they always felt in their hearts that Li Er's words were just empty talk.

Li Er also knew in his heart that what he said was just to divert the attention of civil and military officials.

After all, I only said that I would go to conquer Goguryeo when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and I didn't say that I would go to conquer now.

Now that the attention of civil and military officials has been distracted, the next step is to announce the punishment of Xu Maogong.

"Although the enemy attacked halfway! But the death penalty is inevitable, and the living penalty is inevitable! After all, it was you who delayed the military plane!"

"If it wasn't for the courage and strategy of the king of Beiliang, who defeated the Turkic coalition army, I am afraid that my Tang Dynasty will be baptized by the flames of war again!"

"I will fine you a year's salary! Do you have any objections!?"

Xu Maogong quickly bowed to Li Er and said, "Old Chen has no objection, he is willing to be punished!"

Such an understatement of punishment was tacitly understood by all civil and military officials.

After all, this is just a verbal punishment, how could a founding hero care about a year's salary...

After this matter was dealt with, before Li Er continued to talk about the next political matter.

"Squeak~~"

Suddenly the door of Tai Chi Hall was pushed open.

Bai Jingyi walked into the Tai Chi Hall without haste.

After walking to the center, he bowed to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "My minister sees the Holy One!"

Normally, any official entering the Tai Chi Hall to participate in political affairs needs to be notified.

Although Li Er was a little displeased, it was impossible for him to open his mouth to say anything.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not dissatisfied with Bai Jingyi.

After all, those present all knew that the aristocratic family intended to win over Bai Jingyi.

Secondly, Bai Jingyi worships a first-class official, no one wants to offend Bai Jingyi's bad head...

Li Er's face changed and he said, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

After thanking him, Bai Jingyi bowed directly to Li Er and cupped his hands and said, "I would like to tell you my Majesty! I came here this time, and I just want to know whether the rewards from the Majesty on the battlefield can be counted!?"

Although Li Er was furious in his heart, he still smiled lightly and said: "Bai Aiqing has made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty! He even risked his life and repelled the Turkic barbarians!"

"I keep my word, and the rewards I promised on the battlefield will definitely be counted!"

The civil and military officials looked at Bai Jingyi in amazement.

They didn't expect that Bai Jingyi would dare to come to the court so blatantly and directly ask the Holy One for a reward.

Normally, as long as the Holy Majesty does not open his mouth to mention the reward.

They will never beg for money from the Holy Majesty above the court, this is simply disrespectful...

However, what made it even more difficult for them to understand was how much this Bai Jingyi was favored by the Holy One.

Not only did the Holy One not feel displeased at openly asking for rewards in this court, but he even said with a faint smile: "..."
