Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"What did you say! Fan Xin died for his country?" Yao Chong paused and asked in disbelief.

"Back to Prime Minister Yao, the Duke of Guo fought until the last moment and jumped off a cliff!"

Li Lang's eyes turned red and he swallowed.

"What a fine Fan Xin, what a fine Duke of Yan. I have been an official for decades, and you are the first person that makes me admire you!"

Yao Chong took a deep breath, came to Li Lang, and personally helped him up.

"General Li, don't be sad. King Yan died a heroic death for his country. I must report this to Your Majesty and the court immediately!"

"Let the world know what great achievements I, the number one hero of the Tang Dynasty, have accomplished!"

After saying this, Yao Chong suddenly turned to Song Jing and said.

"Prime Minister Song, Fuqi's great victory is related to the honor and disgrace of all the people in the world. How about you and I joining forces?"

Song Jing looked solemn and arched her hands.

"I have no obligation to refuse!"

Ong!

The big bell of Shangyang Palace rang one hundred and eight times for the first time.

More than three hundred ministers of the fifth rank and above came to the main hall together.

The guardians whispered to each other and asked if the emperor was in mourning.

Because the Shangyang Palace bell has never rung one hundred and eight times since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Only when matters of national life and death are involved will the two sides collide.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials are waiting to welcome you!" In the shrill voice of the chamberlain, Li Xian wore a yellow robe and sat on the dragon chair, with Princess Anle sitting under it.

All the officials bowed and saluted in turn.

"I see you, Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the civil and military officials straightened up, Li Xian looked at Yao Chong with a smile.

"Yao Aiqing, the imperial court will only hold court meetings on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. What do you mean by ringing the bell of Shangyang Palace in Fengge Luantai this time?"

As these words came out, all the civil and military eyes of the court immediately turned to Yao Chong and Song Jing.

The two looked at each other, stepped out of the queue together, and said sadly.

"Your Majesty, during the battle of Fuqi, the Duke of Yan led an army of 20,000 soldiers and guarded Fuaigu City for fifteen days."

"The 180,000 Tibetan army was severely damaged, so that there were less than 6,000 Tibetan soldiers left!"

"So far, all the Western lands that have fallen since the Tang Dynasty have been recovered!"

"Our Tang Dynasty has won!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderous shock, and everyone stayed in place.

Shocked!

Ecstasy and disbelief!

No one expected that Fan Xin led 20,000 people to defeat the Tibetans with an army of 180,000.

How can this be?

You must know that the Tubo people's military strength was several times that of the Tang Dynasty.

There are so many people who can't be killed even if they don't move.

How could Fan Xin's 20,000-strong iron army be so powerful? This is incredible.

a long time.

Li Xian came back to his senses and asked uncertainly.

"Yao Aiqing, are you saying that Fan Xin defeated the Tibetan army with 20,000 people while guarding the isolated city?"

Yao Chong nodded and replied.

"It is absolutely true that the local state capital has officially taken over the occupied land, and it will not take long for the documents to be delivered to the court."

Song Jing on the side also echoed.

"Your Majesty, this matter has caused a sensation throughout the Western Region. It is said that after Prime Minister Chita returned to China, he was dismissed from his official position and sent to prison that day."

"The King of Tubo was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out."

Seeing the conclusive words of the two Zhuguo ministers, the last trace of doubt in Li Xian's heart disappeared.

He immediately stood up and laughed loudly.

"What a good Fan Xin, no wonder he is highly valued by the Emperor!"

"Based on this record alone, who else in the world dares to compete with him!"

"Quickly, summon Fan Xin back to Luoyang immediately. I will hold a ten-mile-long banquet to celebrate his success!"

However, compared with the emperor's high spirits, the two ministers of the Zhu Kingdom looked regretful.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Fan Xin won't be able to see you. In the battle of Fuqi, all 20,000 Tang Dynasty iron troops were killed."

"In order to avoid being captured by the Tubo people, Duke Yan and his men all jumped into the cliff."

"The body is on its way back to Luoyang!"

quiet!

The celebrations in Shangyang Palace suddenly stopped, and everyone stared blankly at Yao Chong.

There was intense disbelief in his eyes.

If Fan Xin defeated the 180,000 Tibetan army, they were deeply shocked.

So the news of martyrdom for the country at this moment is undoubtedly like a huge explosion wave, giving everyone a strong impact.

"Yao Aiqing, what are you talking about? Fan Xin really died for his country?"

Li Xian trembled his lips and asked with a trembling voice.

Yao Chong nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Fan Xin was ordered to do so in the face of danger. He will defend the dignity of our great country at the risk of his own life. He is a loyal and brave man."

"I sincerely request the imperial court to reward him generously!"

"I second the proposal!"

Led by Song Jing, Wei Yuanzhong, the six ministries and nine ministers, and the civil and military ministers all knelt on the ground.

Looking at the civil and military officials of the court, Li Xian couldn't calm down and slapped the handrail heavily.

"Come here and draw up the decree. The loyal heart of King Yan can be seen from heaven and earth, and can be expressed by the sun and moon. He is actually the number one civil and military minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Therefore, the Fan family is specially given a plaque of "Zhonglie Mansion". Anyone who encounters it will be ordered to dismount from the sedan chair and the military officer from the horse. Anyone who violates it will be punished as treason!"

"The three generations of King Yan, regardless of their descendants, will all be treated with the fourth grade of treatment!"

At this point, Li Xian hesitated and said to the ministers.

"As the King of Yan, Fan Xin's title has reached its peak, and his martial arts has reached the peak of being a hussar general."

"My dear friends, what do you think the court should do?"

"This……"

The ministers looked at each other, a little confused for a moment.

Only then did they remember that Fan Xin was already a highly respected minister, and there might be nothing to reward him except the emperor's throne.

While the ministers were thinking hard, Yao Chong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Cavalry General is only from the first level and has not reached the peak. There is still another one above."

"You mean to promote Fan Xin to General Tiance?" Li Xian hesitated and asked.

Before Yao Chong could say anything, all the ministers gave up and immediately jumped out and held their hands.

"Your Majesty, no, General Tiance is an official position established by the Tang Dynasty for Emperor Taizong."

"How can Fan Xin, a minister of the imperial family, enjoy the same honor as Taizong?"

"Yes, even if there is no reward from the court, we can still start with his family members."

"I heard that the Fan family will hold a banquet in a few days to celebrate the little princess's birthday."

"Your Majesty can personally issue an edict to show that you value him!"

Faced with the strong backlash from the ministers, a woman with a pretty face stood up.

Feng Mu glanced at the ministers coldly.

"What happened to General Tiance? Fan Xin even lost his life to defend the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't he enjoy this honor?"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Wan'er, who returned to the palace, turned around and bowed to Li Xian.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask the imperial court to appoint Fan Xin as a first-grade Tiance general!"
