Li Zhi glanced at the civil and military ministers of the whole hall and asked, "How should you reward the meritorious heroes of the battle against Tibet, do you have any suggestions?" ”

At this time, Li Hao suddenly took out a letter from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal." ”

"Oh?" Li Zhi smiled when he heard this, and said happily, "It turns out that the poet maniac has been prepared for a long time, and he will present it to me for me to see." ”

Xu You presented Li Hao's recital, Li Zhi opened it and looked at it, nodding while watching, obviously quite satisfied with the reward proposed by Li Hao, but the ministers were up and down in their hearts, Li Hao raised the reward by himself, can he make himself suffer, this is really over.

After Li Zhi finished reading it, Li Zhi glanced down with a smile and said, "Well, the reward proposed by the poet maniac is generally feasible, but I have two doubts. ”

Li Hao arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty those two doubts?" ”

Li Zhi said: "First, why is there no reward of your own in this song? ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, doctors can't self-heal, asking the ministers to reward themselves will inevitably be biased and criticized, and the ministers' rewards should naturally be mentioned by Your Majesty and all civil and military officials." ”

"Well, that's true." Li Zhi nodded, and asked again, "There is still a doubt, this time to conquer Tibet, you did not use much grain and grass, Peng Hai and Di Renjie supervised the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, and the credit was not great, why is Di Renjie's reward so high, and the seal is the same as that of the Zhongshu Sect?" ”

Di Renjie below was taken aback when he heard this, and he was in the same book as a book? That's the prime minister, he thinks Li Hao is crazy, he is only twenty-one years old, let him be in the picture, even he himself feels inappropriate.

The ministers also thought like this, and they all thought that Li Hao was crazy, and made a twenty-one-year-old young man the prime minister, and this time he went to Tibet, Di Renjie was only supervising the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, how much credit could this have?

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the most important thing in the march and war is the grain and grass, how can it be regarded as a small contribution?" ”

Li Zhi still shook his head: "This explanation is too far-fetched, I still think it's inappropriate, Di Renjie's matter of worshipping the prime minister will be pressed for the time being, Xu You, listen to the other rewards with Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing will refer to it in detail." ”

Although Li Hao was a little disappointed when he heard this, he also knew that he was a little impatient, Di Renjie was too young and not qualified enough, and this time Di Renjie's credit was indeed not big enough, at least not big enough to worship the prime minister, disappointed to disappointed, but he could see that Li Zhi was still very fair, and there was no mess in terms of employing people.

Xu You picked up Li Hao's recital and read: "Fan Lihua Jin Lantian County Gong, add 500 households, award the Pillar State, seal the second rank of the auxiliary general, reward 1,000 taels of gold, 1,000 silk horses, 100 fine porcelain, 100 good horses......"

As soon as they heard Fan Lihua's reward, all the ministers secretly exclaimed, Fan Lihua's reward was too high, and he was directly crowned a duke, although it was only a county duke, but it was also a duke, and the title jumped directly to the pillar country, and the rank was scattered to the general of the auxiliary country, which was simply a straight line up, jumping several levels in a row, but people with a heart found that Fan Lihua's reward was actually an empty shelf, because there was no change in the position, and the title and title of these things went up.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi said that Li Hao's reward proposal is feasible, this expedition to Tubo, basically led by Fan Lihua, the credit is quite large, not under Li Hao, in the case of no change in the position, the title and title of these things are greatly raised, it is completely feasible.

Fan Lihua is the highest reward in the song, so the first reading, followed by Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi, Di Renjie Peng Hai and others, Di Renjie's proposal was pressed by Li Zhi, only the civil and military titles were raised, and some gold and silver cloth were rewarded, and this is over.

After reading the reward, Li Zhi asked, "Do you have any objections to Li Hao's proposal for a reward?" ”

The ministers did not speak, and the officials of Zhongshu Province led by Ma Zhou replied one after another: "The ministers have no objections. Then the other ministers followed suit and said that they had no objections.

Li Zhi was very happy, and continued: "Then let's discuss Li Hao's reward, although the conquest of Tubo was unsuccessful, but it annihilated the 180,000 army of Tubo, and forced the Tubo army to abandon the capital and flee, it can be regarded as a big victory, Li Hao, as the head of the march, made suggestions, and made great contributions, this merit must be rewarded, Zhu Qing said, how to reward Li Hao?" ”

Everyone, look at me, I'll take a look, how can I reward it, I feel like I can't reward it, Li Hao's martial arts position has come to an end, the title, he is already the king of the county, do you want to be crowned king directly? Or seal the third division? That's the sky.

Li Zhi waited for a long time, but he didn't see anyone talking, and he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Since no one proposed, then let me mention it." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's hearts were full of sighs, who didn't know that Li Zhi and Li Hao had an unusual relationship, and if he offered Li Hao a reward, it would definitely be over.

Sure enough, Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Li Hao was originally the prince and the prince, and now he is promoted to the prince, and he is the title of the emperor, and he is the third product under the door of the same Zhongshu!" ”

"Your Majesty! No! Hearing this, Yu Zhining decisively stepped out and said loudly, "The position of the three princes and three divisions is the most important in the court, how can it be easily given!" ”

Among the official positions of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the general of Tiance Mansion, the three princes and three divisions were the highest, and the three princes were: Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong; The three divisions are: Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, these six positions are a product, the existence of legends, and it is not easy to seal people, and now above the court, only the eldest grandson Wuji has sealed Situ, which shows how awesome the existence of the three princes and three divisions is, Li Zhi now wants to seal Li Hao as the Taifu, no wonder Yu Zhining will object.

Li Zhi smiled indifferently and said, "Yu Qing is too worried, is this easy for me to seal it?" How much credit has Li Hao made to Datang over the past ten years? How many strong country policies have been made? Couldn't Yu Qing see it, Zhu Qing told me that the merits of anyone in the palace can be compared with Li Hao, but I am afraid that the eldest grandson Situ is not as good as him. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhining was speechless, and those who were originally going to seconded the proposal suddenly shrank back, yes, Li Hao has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years, because Li Hao was young, they suppressed Li Hao, and now Li Hao is not young, and he is over thirty, and Li Hao is now in full swing, how can they suppress it, Li Zhi's last sentence is the most hurtful, even the eldest grandson Situ is not as good as it, how can there be such a demeaning person.

Li Zhi just wants to belittle the eldest grandson Wuji and let him have a long memory, in fact, he is very angry about the failure of the conquest of Tubo, if it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji being vomited blood by Li Haoyi in the palace, there are some words, he really wants to scold in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, but seeing that he is his uncle, and he is angry and vomits blood, he can only let him go.

Li Hao's reward this time is definitely the largest among everyone, directly ranked in the third division, and also sealed a title of emperor, this title sounds very awesome, non-Confucian or Taoist masters can not be awarded, as for the three products under the door of the same Zhongshu, that is, the prime minister, Li Hao was originally the same Zhongshu under the door of the Pingzhang matter, that is, with the right to participate in political affairs, now this with the Zhongshu door under the three products, Li Hao is with the Zhongshu order and the subordinate servants of a level, and the affairs of the Zhongshu Province and the door of the province can be inserted.

Li Zhi glanced at the audience and said slowly: "Zhuqing seems to have no objection to Li Hao's reward, since this is the case, then the Zhongshu Province will draw up a decree to reward all the heroes this time." ”

When the ministers heard this, they all sighed secretly, thinking that the eldest grandson Wuji could hold Li Hao down this time, but they never expected that after Li Hao returned to Chang'an, he actually played a big reversal, not to mention the eldest grandson Wuji's anger and vomiting blood, and he also ascended to the sky in one step, ranking in the third division, they felt sad when they thought about it, but they couldn't help it, their little arms couldn't twist their thighs, without the eldest grandson Wuji, they couldn't fight Li Hao at all, and the emperor was obviously partial to Li Hao, which made them the most depressed.

The court meeting is over, the ministers lined up and walked out of the Taiji Palace, Li Hao was in high spirits, walking at the front of the line, finally, seventeen years, he finally climbed to the top of the pyramid, standing on the beam of the court hall overlooking the ministers, and he can show his strength in the Tang Dynasty officialdom in the future, which feels really good.

Looking at the Taiji Square under the scorching sun, blowing the soft spring breeze, Li Hao was relaxed, suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and slowly raised his head, enjoying the eyes and the spring breeze, and the ministers in the rear also stopped and stared at him.

After a while, Li Hao didn't move, Di Renjie slowly came to Li Hao's side and asked softly, "Li ...... Mrs. Li, what's wrong with you? ”

Li Hao suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, he smiled slightly, slowly opened his arms, and said leisurely: "Zhongxing Datang, who else can I be!" ”
