This reward made all the ministers in the study slightly surprised, and the emperor was too bold. It would be good to allow Song Wei to ask for Li Jing's promotion, and add a false title from the third rank of General Jinwu, which is the grace of heaven, and even added the champion general of the third rank, although it is said that the scattered rank of the imperial court is no longer valuable, and the local marshals often add the general Jinwu, the general of the town army, or even the general, and even the position of the second rank such as Shizhong, Zhongshu Ling, etc., but those marshals are the head of a town. Although Li Jing has made a lot of contributions, it is really said that at this time last year, Li Jing was just a farmer. In one year, he will be promoted to the third grade, which is really the so-called one-step ascension.

What's more, the Marquis of Zhendong was actually added. The knighthood actually skipped the baron and viscount, as well as the earldom, and directly became a marquis. Although it is said that this marquis is the county marquis of Zhengsanpin, the title of the lord is the east of the town, not the name of the county, which is even more unique. What's more, although the Tang Dynasty treats his subordinates very generously, meritorious ministers, and can be crowned kings with different surnames, these titles still have real seals in the early days, and now there are basically no food seals. The emperor not only gave Li Jing a marquis, but also gave a thousand households of real food seals, which is even more amazing.

Even Tian Lingzi was a little jealous, he started as a small eunuch in a small horse workshop, followed Li Yi in his early years, and with this he was able to master the government step by step, becoming the general of the left prison guard and the lieutenant of the Shence Army, as well as the envoy of the Privy Council. He was called his father by the emperor, and he had to be named the Duke of Jin, Li Jing actually got a Zhendong Marquis so easily, which really made him feel a little surprised.

"Li Jing is such a fierce general, I want to transfer him to Chang'an. and his Zhendong Army will also be transferred to the Beijing Division together. Feel free to do it! "The words are not shocking, and they are endless. Li Yi is now like an excited child, thinking about Li Jing well, he doesn't care about anything else, like a child, he wants to share his good things with Li Jing.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The most shocking thing is Tian Lingzi, he can now be in charge of the government, except for the emperor who kisses him and calls him his father. One of the main reasons is that he controls the military. In the late Tang Dynasty, there were four nobles in Beijing.

These four nobles do not refer to four people, but to the four most powerful official positions. These four official positions are the lieutenant of the left and right Shence Army, and the left and right privy council envoys.

The lieutenant of the Shence Army is in charge of the 150,000 Shence forbidden army in the land of Gyeonggi, which can be said to be the soldiers and horses in the center of the imperial court. The Privy Council is also in a very important position, second only to the Prime Minister. Eunuchs have always been filled, and their original function was to act as a link between the prime minister and the emperor, and to be in charge of military affairs. However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs of the Privy Council took advantage of this to interfere in the government and even manipulate the abolition of the monarch.

Ultimately. The most important thing for Tian Lingzi to be in charge of the government is that he holds two important positions among the four nobles, and he holds the sky with one hand. The southern and northern yas of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, there was only one Shence army left, and the others all existed in name only, and they only became some fictitious positions with additional officials and ranks, and there were no soldiers and horses at all. The Twelve Guards and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, only the Shence Army remained.

Now that the emperor suddenly wants to let Li Jing enter Beijing, Tian Lingzi doesn't care, but if Li Jing comes with the newly established Zhendong Army. Tian Lingzi couldn't help it, although the Shence army had 150,000 people, it had already been eroded, and there was no combat effectiveness at all. But the Zhendong Army is different, as long as you think about what Song Wei played in the report just now, this Li Jing defeated the Qingzhou Ya soldiers with 5,000 Zhendong Army, beheaded more than 8,000 people, and captured countless prisoners.

Qingzhou Ya soldier Tian Lingzi is also aware of the Tao, that is a very capable army, Ziqing Town was divided for more than 60 years, once the world's strongest domain, and Qingzhou Ya soldiers are the elite of the elite. Li Jing can even defeat an elite like the Qingzhou tooth soldiers, you can imagine what kind of tiger and wolf army this is.

This son of heaven Li Yi is also a person who likes the new and hates the old, and Li Jing is just in his early twenties, not much older than the Son of Heaven. If Li Jing entered Beijing with a Zhendong army of 25,000 people, it is conceivable that it may not be long before he, the emperor's father, will have no place.

As soon as he thought of this, Tian Lingzi couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly jumped up and said, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to transfer Li Jing to Beijing!" ”

Li Yizheng was excited, and when he heard Tian Lingzi's words, he said with some displeasure: "Father, what's wrong!" ”

Tian Lingzi's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and said: "Although Qingzhou has been taken at the moment, the reversible king Jingwu has not been eliminated, and now he still occupies the two prefectures of Ziqi with the remnants of the rebels. That Song Wei led his troops to attack before, and he suffered a small loss, and now the two armies are facing each other. If this continues, it will inevitably be eroded in Ziqi and Erzhou, and the people will suffer. The old slave thought that at this time, Ziqing Town was in urgent need of a fierce general like Li Jing to work hard. ”

"Didn't Li Jing defeat Wang Jingwu and behead 8,000, why hasn't this Wang Jingwu's rebellion been quelled?" Li Yi seemed to have just remembered.

Yu Cong hurriedly explained: "Li Jing led his troops to recapture Qingzhou, and after Zishui defeated the rebels, because he heard that Wang Jingwu's brother Wang Jingwen and Wang Jin led the Dengzhou Navy Division to make a rebellion, he led his troops back to Dengzhou. Song Wei led his troops to pursue Wang Jingwu, but was ambushed by the rebels in Zizhou, losing many soldiers and horses. Now the rebels are retreating to Zizhou, and Song Wei is besieging the city, but the rebels are fierce and difficult for a while, so they ask the court for reinforcements. ”

Li Yi frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is Song Wei a handsome but not as good as his general Li Jing." ”

"Song Wei is still good, but he is old, I heard that he was wounded by an arrow in this rebellion, and he was in the rear army during the pursuit, and the front army did not notice it, so he would be ambushed." Prime Minister Lu Xi has a very good relationship with Song Wei, and he is busy talking for Song Wei at this time.

Tian Lingzi took the opportunity to say: "This Dengzhou is an important port and maritime trade route in the north of my Tang Dynasty, if the rebels are allowed to trouble Dengzhou, the loss will be great." General Li Jing returned to Dengzhou and did a good job. At this time, it is not appropriate to transfer Li Jing and the Zhendong Army into Beijing. After a pause, Tian Lingzi seemed to remember something and said: "The old slave heard a few days ago that Dengzhou has not been peaceful recently. First of all, the soldiers and horses of Da Xie Qi made Feng Zhang collude with the town of Duli in Liaodong to attack Dengzhou, and now there is a rebellion in Dengzhou, and at such a time, it is necessary for a loyal general like Li Jing to defend it. In addition, I heard that Li Jing had led his troops into Liaodong to fight several battles and recaptured two cities and hundreds of thousands of people. ”

"It has been more than 100 years since the Andong Protectorate was repeatedly withdrawn from Pyongyang, and the most retreated to the present. After the Anshi Rebellion, although the land of Liaodong was called Tang Land, it had already been lost. The three towns of Hebei have been repeated, and the land route and Liaodong passage have been lost early. At present, the Bohai Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom are no longer strong in the past, and now General Li Jing sent troops to Liaodong to recapture Erzhou for the imperial court, which is a good time for the imperial court to regain Liaodong. The territory laid down by our ancestors, we and our descendants have the responsibility to defend the territory. The old slave thought that an excellent general like Li Jing should continue to guard Dengzhou, first, to quell the Dengzhou Rebellion, second, to protect the northern maritime trade routes, and third, to allow Li Jing to find a way to recapture the land of Liaodong. ”

Tian Lingzi played: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the imperial court can rebuild the Andong Protectorate, and the old slave is willing to protect Li Jing as the protector of Anton. ”

In order to prevent Li Jing from entering Beijing, Tian Lingzi spent a lot of brains now. He also knew that the emperor was liking Li Jing right now, and if he blocked him at this time, the effect might be counterproductive. threw out the rebuilding of the Andong Protectorate, not at all that he really wanted to recover Liaodong, but to send Li Jing far away. The land of Liaodong is mixed with all ethnic groups, and it has already become a chaotic place. Especially since the Bohai Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom weakened successively, and the Khitan and Xi people began to become strong again, Liaodong became even more chaotic, and it was simply a place where various ethnic groups were fighting. The situation in southern Liaoning is even better, but the further north you go, the more chaotic it becomes. Don't look at Li Jing now that he has captured the two big cities in southern Liaoning, but Tian Lingzi knows very well that if Li Jing is really allowed to recover Liaodong, not to mention anything else, just one Duli town will be enough for him to trouble.

What's more, although Bohai and other countries are weak, in fact, Liaodong has always been under the name of the Tang Dynasty and the actual semi-control of the Bohai State. It's okay for Li Jing to make a small fuss, if he really wants to play the name of the Protectorate of Anton, I'm afraid that neither the Bohai Kingdom nor the Khitan, which is now eyeing Liaodong, will make Li Jing feel better.

Liaodong is a quagmire, if Li Jing steps into it with one foot and wants to pull it out again, it will not be so easy.

Li Yi didn't understand Tian Lingzi's nine twists and eighteen bends, he had now been provoked by Tian Lingzi's words to recover Liaodong and defend the land. The thirteen-year-old Son of Heaven is at the time of his youth. Just thinking about it, he agreed with Tian Lingzi's words.

In his opinion, the so powerful Tubo and Nanzhao, as well as the Hui Hui, are now completely beaten by the Tang Dynasty and can't raise their heads, and a small Liaodong is nothing.

"Okay, then rebuild the Andong Protectorate, grant Li Jing as the Protector of Anton, and let Li Jing Zhendong Army recover Liaodong and Liaoxi. After General Li Jing recovered Liaodong, I would transfer him and the Zhendong Army into Beijing at that time! Li Yi ordered.

Tian Lingzi's eyes flashed, and he didn't expect that the emperor would still want to transfer Li Jing to Beijing. Hmph, since that's the case, then Li Jing will never want to enter Beijing.

The other prime ministers had their own thoughts, but none objected. First, they also knew that there were no two tigers in one mountain, and if they agreed to let Li Jing enter Beijing, it would be offending Tian Lingzi. Second, several prime ministers really didn't think there was any problem with recovering Liaodong. They felt that if Li Jing could really recover Liaodong, it would also be a great achievement of their tenure as prime minister.

The Andong Protectorate belongs to the Upper Protectorate, and its chief is the Anton Protector, who is the third product, "in charge of Zhufan, comforting, levying, recounting, punishing, and judging the affairs of the government". Even Yu Cong felt that this was a good opportunity, after all, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was one of the six major protectors of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing did this position, which was equivalent to a party leader, and it was not much different from the marshal of a feudal town. If Liaodong can really be recovered, even if it can't enter the court, at least it will be a handsome. (To be continued......)
