This reward is actually a bit unkind, after all, Li Xin has made such a great contribution, even if it is not enough to give him a national duke, at least he should add a first-class military officer to do it, but he was only given a military department secretary, and then promoted to a first-class knighthood.

But Li Xin is already satisfied.

He went to the southwest, not to be promoted and make a fortune, but to take advantage of the power of the imperial court to report his personal grievances, and now that his personal grievances are gone, he is too lazy to compete with others for anything in this regard.

After receiving the holy decree, Li Xin knelt down again in front of the Son of Heaven and said in a deep voice: "Minister, thank you for your great reward, but there is one thing, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "General Li, don't worry, the reward I gave you is not over yet." ”

As he spoke, the Son of Heaven waved his hand again.

"Keep reading."

"Yes."

Xiao Zheng didn't know where to go, but he felt out another holy decree and slowly unfolded it, but fortunately, Li Xin hadn't stood up yet, so he continued to kneel on the ground and accept the order.

"Li Xin, the general of the forbidden army, is loyal and brave, and he is very heartfelt, when the prince is young and needs a good teacher, he specially hires Li Xin, the marquis of Jing'an, as the prince of the East Palace, and teaches the prince martial arts......"

As soon as this holy decree came out, Li Xincai, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned secretly.

The three divisions of the East Palace were originally all fictitious positions from the first rank, that is to say, they could be sealed, but there was no real position, otherwise if the East Palace had three teachers from the first rank, it was very likely to threaten the imperial power.

Therefore, the East Palace generally only has lecturers, teachers, and Zhan affairs, but there is no prince and three divisions in power.

If this holy decree is just a simple seal of Li Xin as the crown prince, then there is nothing special about it, after all, Li Xin's merits are also worthy of this false position from the first grade, but with the addition of a word of appointment, and it is also stated in the holy decree that Li Xin is responsible for teaching, it will be very different......

Li Xinxin knew very well that the Son of Heaven wanted the prince to really recognize himself as a teacher.

Thinking of this, the Marquis of Jing'an didn't take the holy decree, but just bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is still young and his virtue is shallow, thanks to His Majesty's fortune, General Ye Da's strategy, and his luck is meritorious, in fact, there is no pen and ink in his chest, I dare not mistake His Royal Highness the Prince's work, please take back your ......."

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "General Li, is this a son who is unwilling to teach me?" ”

Li Xin complained confidently.

What Lao Tzu said just now is clear, Lao Tzu is unwilling, what are you doing when you ask again......

If it was in private, Li Xin could still argue with the Son of Heaven for a few more words, but here is the Great Imperial Council, where all the civil and military officials are watching, and it is impossible for him to go to the Son of Heaven in person, so in desperation, Li Xin can only take this holy decree head-on, bow his head and say: "Minister, thank Your Majesty..."

The Son of Heaven showed a satisfied smile and said with a smile: "It seems that General Li still has something to say to me......

"Yes."

Li Xinli sighed slightly, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is still young, and it is still difficult to lead a forbidden army on weekdays, Your Majesty asked the minister to serve in the military department, and the minister did not dare to disobey, but he could not use it for two purposes, please resign from the post of general of the forbidden army, please be good..."

The Son of Heaven frowned and asked, "What does General Li mean by this?" The right battalion of the forbidden army has just made such a great contribution under your hands, why did you stop doing it? ”

Li Xinxin silently despised this goods.

Why didn't Lao Tzu do it, don't you know in your heart......

"Back to Your Majesty, his virtue is shallow, and he is not competent for ......"

Two years ago, that is, when Taikang Tianzi had just ascended the throne, he urgently needed to take power, at that time he and Li Xin made a plan to try their best to get the forbidden army into their own hands, and the position of the general of the forbidden army at that time was forced to Li Xin by the Son of Heaven.

Now that more than two years have passed, the Son of Heaven has been in this position for a long time, and his subordinates are no longer as they were two years ago, except for Li Xin, no one is available, no one dares to use it, so it is time for Li Xin to send the forbidden army back.

Li Xin didn't mind much about this, anyway, he didn't take the right battalion of the forbidden army to heart, and there was not much difference between bringing it and not bringing it.

The Son of Heaven said in a sullen voice: "In the capital, who dares to say that you Li Changan is shallow?" ”

"In any case, you have done a good job as the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, you have taken care of it first."

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Please remember how hard your ministers have been this year, let the ministers rest and rest......"

The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand to help Li Xin up, looked Li Xin up and down, and sighed.

"Chang'an, you are indeed a lot haggard."

"That's it, you still sit in the position of the general of the forbidden army first, if you are tired, then I will find someone to get used to it for you first, and one day you will almost rest, and then take over again, how about it?"

Li Xin's face was sincere, and he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please resign." ”

Taikang Tianzi played a scoundrel, waved his hand and said: "I know about this matter, let's put it aside for now, and then talk about it in a few days..."

The Marquis of Jing'an secretly complained in his heart.

This is a trick to play with himself, and he has to make the Chinese military officials of the DPRK feel that he is a dead beggar who wants to resign from this position.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more, looked back at the position of the civil and military officials, and after a little hesitation, he stood behind Zhang Qu and Zhang Haoran in the position of the civil officials on the left.

Next, it is a reward for Ye Mao and Mu Ying.

Ye Mao has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and this time he also earned the title of county prince, but this thing is of little significance to him, after all, he is the one who will take over the title of Duke of Chen Guo in the future.

The reward for Mu Ying is much simpler, the imperial court gave him a righteous five-grade Hanzhou general, and when he left Beijing on a certain day, the Son of Heaven patted him on the shoulder and asked him to work hard in the southwest and not to live up to the trust of the imperial court.

In addition to the rewards of these three people, there are other small issues, such as the pension of the Western Expeditionary Army this time, how to reward the Western Expeditionary Army after returning to Beijing, etc., Li Xin closed his eyes and recuperated, standing on the left and did not interject.

Soon, the Great Dynasty Meeting came to an end, and Li Xin was ready to slip away with Zhang Qu and the others, but as soon as he walked out of the two parts, Xiao Zheng appeared behind him, smiling.

"Crown Prince Taibao, Your Majesty please stay and go to the side hall to talk about ......"

Eunuchs are very good at talking, and they will call whatever name is loud, in comparison, the crown prince Taibao does sound much more atmospheric than Jing'anhou, so he quickly changed his words.

Li Xin sighed helplessly, just like a student who was left behind, turned to Mu Ying and said, "Brother Mu, go to my house and wait for me, and let's have a drink together in the evening." ”

Then he turned to Xiao Zheng and smiled.

"Please let Grandpa Xiao lead the way."

Xiao Zheng bent over, took Li Xin all the way, and entered a side hall of Weiyang Palace, he opened the bead curtain, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Prince Taibao, Your Majesty is inside." ”

Li Xingang took a step when he suddenly heard a child's voice.

It seems to be the voice of the prince.

He frowned secretly.

Shouldn't this guy be here, forcing the prince to apprentice to himself, right?
