After the indispensable etiquette of the monarch and the courtiers, the court meeting began in earnest.

The Tang Dynasty is divided into ten provinces and 360 states, the territory is vast, a lot of things happen every day, with Gao Lishi said "all the ministers can start playing", the ministers have come out to play, it is now the end of the year, there are many things, the three provinces and six ministries have to make a summary, but also to discuss sacrifices, pardons and other things, there are also proposals for the appointment and dismissal of certain officials, one after another, Zheng Peng is about to doze off when he hears it.

"Wang Shangshu" Zheng Peng suddenly lowered his voice and said to Wang Hui, the secretary of the military department in front: "How long will the court meeting last?" ”

Unconsciously, most of the hours passed, but those ministers seemed to be endless, just now for the vacancy of a waiter in the household department, Pei Yaoqing, the secretary of the household department, and Yang Chongli, the secretary of the household department, fought for red faces, and their sleeves were rolled up, and even the scolding words of "Tian Shenu" were also thrown out in the court, and in the end, it was Li Longji who suppressed the sentence "postpone the discussion".

There is no regulation on the length of the court meeting, if the officials disperse early, they can also go home to make up for a sleep, if it is open for a long time, the imperial dining room will prepare "food under the corridor" for civil and military officials, Zheng Peng does not want to eat under the corridor on such a cold day.

Zheng Peng planned to visit Zheng Wan and Zheng Li's two cousins at noon, and heard Lu Shu say that Comrade Xiaobai was average, Zheng Peng hadn't looked at him for so long, and wanted to see how the future poet was doing, Wang San said in the letter that he hoped to meet him as soon as possible, and Zheng Peng also wanted to see how much he had grown.

By the way, when he went out, Lu Shu said that he would go to find Lan Duo at dawn, and he didn't know how to talk about it, but now Zheng Peng has a feeling that he is in the court, and his mind has already flown out.

Wang Hui thought that Zheng Peng was in a hurry to be rewarded, and lowered his voice and said: "There are a lot of things at the end of the year, and it is not strange that the court meeting will be held until noon, but General Zheng can rest assured, everyone knows that the theme of this court meeting is to reward the meritorious deeds of the Western Army, and they will also postpone unimportant matters with interest. ”

Overcoming the curse of Tubo, making up firearms, a weapon against the sky, and destroying Tubo that had been entangled with the Tang Dynasty for more than 100 years with only 10,000 people, this credit is too great, that is, the emperor gave Zheng Peng the position of secretary of the military department, and Wang Wei will not be surprised.

I misunderstood what I meant, and Zheng Peng couldn't explain it, so he could only say that he wouldn't say to Wang Yan.

Wang Jian was right, the court meeting went on for another quarter of an hour, and finally, no minister stood up again, and they waited for Li Longji to propose today's theme with interest.

Seeing that there were no ministers to come out again, Gao Lishi stood up again and said loudly under Li Longji's signal: "Ministers, do you still have something to play?" ”

Most of the ministers of civil and military affairs present laughed and said nothing, waiting for the last topic, which is also an issue worthy of the excitement of the Tang dynasty and the opposition.

Wang Xuan turned his head and looked at Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng knew that he should play by himself, nodded slightly, and said loudly after saluting: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”

"Exactly! Zheng Aiqing stood up and spoke. Li Longji said simply and directly.

Zheng Peng Xie then stood up and said loudly: "Tubo has repeatedly violated the border of the Tang Dynasty, committed many crimes in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the cruelty of the means, the profound impact, the bamboo is difficult to write, the last general was ordered to secretly train the new army to crusade against Tubo, bless the Tang Dynasty, but also thanks to the emperor's blessing, Weichen fortunately did not disgrace the emperor's trust, the Tang people's expectations, led the western army to sweep away all the forces of Tubo that did not obey the Tang Dynasty, so that Tubo this wild land bathed in the emperor's grace again, the culprit leader Chi Dezu Zan committed suicide in fear of sin, and the new king of Tubo, La Pabu, and his family followed Weichen into Tang to ask for guilt, Now wait outside the palace and ask the emperor to make a clear decision. ”

Datang is a state of etiquette, and some things are settled, and a good ending is also required, which comes from the maintenance of Datang's image.

Before the lines arrived in Chang'an, the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War prepared for Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng only needed to follow the steps, as for the new king of Tubo, it was to make the pitch of La Paib more meaningful, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites were combined.

He is from the Tibetan royal family, and he is also the only adult man in the royal family, so it is most suitable for him to temporarily replace the new king of Tibet.

No one has an opinion, the victor is the king and the loser, and history is written by the victors.

"Good, good!" Li Longji said loudly: "Xuan." ”

Gao Lishi immediately shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "The emperor has a decree, announce that the new king of Tibet, Lapabu, will see you in the court!" ”

"The emperor has a decree to announce that the new king of Tubo, Lapabu, will see you in the court!"

"The emperor has a decree to announce that the new king of Tubo, Lapabu, will see you in the court!"

The sound came out like a relay, and soon, Lapabu, who had been refreshed and dressed in the traditional Tubo costume, came in with an entourage with some trepidation, and when he came in, he looked at the officials of the court and the central government very nervously, and secretly glanced at Li Longji, who was sitting at the top, but he just glanced at it in a hurry and looked away, as if he was afraid that he would be hurt.

"The greatest Heavenly Khan under the sun, the humble Pilab, pleads with you and begs the Heavenly Khan for forgiveness." After approaching, Lapabu knelt down on his knees and gave Li Longji the most solemn bow.

Lapob was a little scared, and some couldn't understand, in Mingdemen, he obviously gave in to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty once, but now he was ordered to ask the Tang Emperor again on behalf of Tubo, and in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and some foreign envoys, he personally admitted Tubo's mistakes, and finally presented the seal representing the power of Tubo with both hands, as well as the saber representing courage.

In order to survive, where can Lapaib manage so much, let him do whatever he wants.

After the seal and the golden knife were handed over again, Li Longji had a smile on his face, reprimanded Lapabu a few words, and issued an order to deprive Lapabu and others of their noble status and demote them to commoners, and finally let go of the lives of Lapabu and other Tubo royal families.

Chide Zuzan did not hurt Princess Jincheng at the last moment, and Li Longji couldn't be too stingy, so he repaid the favor and left them alive after Lapabu cooperated with Li Longji to put on a good show.

Of course, the rest of the lives of Lapabu and the others will be under the supervision of the Datang secret agency.

Accepting the seal and golden knife of Tubo, in the singing and reciting virtue of the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Lapabu was escorted down by the guards in some frustration, and from this moment on, Tubo ceased to exist and was drowned in the long river of history.

After the singing and reciting virtue calmed down, Li Longji signaled everyone to calm down, and said loudly: "This time I was able to conquer Tibet, and the army of the West worked hard, Zheng Aiqing is even greater, Zheng Aiqing, you have done too well this time, say, what do you want to reward you?" ”

The civil and military officials in the court made a burst of amazing voices, looking at Zheng Peng's gaze, with admiration and envy.

The emperor asked Zheng Peng what he wanted, according to this situation, as long as Zheng Peng's request was not too much, Li Longji would satisfy him, it was simply the ancestral tomb that smoked from it.

Just when Zheng Peng wanted to speak, suddenly a discordant voice suddenly came out: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to start." ”

At this juncture, it was said that there was something to start, and the ministers looked at the imperial official Tai Yushi Ou Yangming like idiots.

Not only did Li Chaoyin, the chief of the Imperial History Observatory, look puzzled at his subordinates, but even Li Longji, who was smiling, also showed a look of displeasure in his eyes.

Li Chaoyin stepped out, frowned and said, "Ouyang Yushi, now is the time to commend meritorious officials, if there is nothing important, postpone the discussion." ”

Jumping out at this time, it's too ignorant, but this person is still his subordinate, if he is in the Yushitai, Li Chaoyin will send someone to fork him out without saying a word, but this is the court, so many civil and military officials are looking at it, even if they are in a bad mood, they can only mention it euphemistically.

As the supreme official of the Imperial History Observatory, Li Chaoyin remembered that there was no major event, and besides, the New Year was approaching, even as the Imperial History, he also knew a little fun, restrained himself, and let others have a good year, what did he want to do at this time?

By the way, just now I seemed to see Li Linfu, the servant of the ministry, as if he gave Ou Yangming a look, this guy won't be a knife in someone else's hand, right?

Ou Yangming turned a blind eye to the strange gazes around him, and said to Li Chaoyin with an expressionless face: "Doctor Li, this matter cannot be delayed, because the person who wants to be impeached is Zheng Peng, the general of Zhengxi. ”

What the? Impeachment of Zheng Peng?

Crazy, crazy, Li Chaoyin's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, and there was a sound of surprise in the court.
