(Thanks to the support of the little flying dragon sword and half knife zsz, thank you!) ）

Chang'an, a gallop came.

"Great victory, Li Situ, the Duke of Qi, led the Zhenguo army to defeat the Goguryeo and Bohai coalition forces, annihilated 100,000 enemies, recovered the Liaodong Peninsula and Pyongyang, and raised the prestige of our Tang army! Hurry, Qi Guogong, strong, Zhenguo Army! ”

On the notice wall in front of the market, a half-old scholar with a moon-white robe and a gray beard looked excited, pointed to the notice that had not dried the ink, and recited it loudly, his voice was subdued. In the back, countless people gathered in the market, and more and more people gathered around.

"Qi Guogong Li Situ? Is it the same Li Dashuai who led the troops into Beijing the year before last? Someone asked.

"Except for this Li Dashuai, who can have such ability. It's amazing, the Tang Dynasty has lost Liaodong for more than 100 years, and I never thought that Li Dashuai would be so powerful, and in the first battle, he defeated those Hu Lu outside the Guan, annihilated 100,000 enemies in one fell swoop, and recovered the peninsula and Pyongyang. ”

"Where's Pyongyang?" Someone else asked.

"This Pyongyang, I heard that it was the royal capital of Goguryeo in the past, and it was 3,000 miles from Chang'an to Youzhou, and there were 2,000 miles from Youzhou to Pyongyang. It's a long way from us! ”

The distance of 5,000 miles, in the hearts of many people, is a distance that can never be crossed. I didn't expect Li Situ to be so powerful, and he fought all the way to such a far.

Huaqing Palace in Lishan, Li Yi, the Son of Heaven, is soaking in the soup pool here, Zhang Tai in Chang'an Daming Palace received the news of the victory of Lijiabao in Liaodong, and immediately rushed to the Huaqing Palace to report the victory. Li Yi heard that Li Jing had won a great victory in that place he had never heard of, annihilating 100,000 Hu troops in the first battle, and recovering the entire Liaodong Peninsula from the mouth of the Yalu River to the south of the Liaohe estuary. plus south of the Yalu River, Pyongyang and its surroundings. I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Destroy 100,000 enemies? Has the news been confirmed? ”

Zhang Tai hurriedly said: "It has been confirmed." Li Situ has been preparing after taking the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula last year. As soon as the ice melted in the Liaohai Sea in February, he immediately quietly gathered an army of 80,000 troops, set out from the sea, and went directly behind the Goguryeo and Bohai navies to catch them by surprise. First cut off the retreat of the Bohai people and then cut off their grain routes, besieged but did not attack in the first two months, and when the enemy's food ran out, forced him to break through and meet the enemy in the city. Wait for work at ease, turn passive into active. A series of battles were fought very excitingly, and the Goguryeo and Bohai people had the advantage of strength, but their army was divided into several parts, first the Khitans were kept out of the Liao River and the Great Wall of Goguryeo, and then the Bohai people of Liaodong City and Buyeo were blocked north of the Qianshan Mountain Range on the first line of Anshi City. Each one is broken, Li Situ is really like a god with soldiers. ”

"Fight well, increase the prestige of my heavenly kingdom!" Li Yi, who is already sixteen years old, is getting older, and he is gradually paying attention to Li Tang's state affairs. As early as the time when Empress Wu was in power, Li Tang had almost lost control of the land of Andong. After the Anshi Rebellion, it was completely out of control. Li Jing has been the protector of Anton since he took office. did not ask the court to divide a penny and a soldier, but with the power of a town, he fought successively, from the recovery of southern Liaonan to the recovery of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, which really greatly increased Li Tang's prestige. He is also very excited.

"I want to reward Li Jiyu again!"

His Majesty, Li Zhenguo sent someone to deliver good news, and at the same time, he also sent someone to send a gift list, and the offering worth five million yuan was on the way to the west. There are Silla women, prisoners of war in the Balhae, and slaves of Goguryeo, as well as war horses, eagle harriers, Dongqing, Dengju salt, and Dengju glass, wine, perfume, and so on. ”

Hearing that Li Jing had sent so many offerings, Li Yi couldn't help laughing. Recently, although Huang Chao was driven south of the Yangtze River by the official army, this thief has also made the imperial court's tax and wealth source black, and the government hall has reported that half of the states in the southeast will not be able to pay taxes this year, and the loss is great. Or Li Jing is reliable and loyal to the monarch and patriotic. not only helped the imperial court recover the Liaodong Peninsula, but also always sent a large amount of money and silk when he needed it.

"If all the ministers in the world are half loyal to Li Jiyu, the Tang Dynasty has already prospered and will continue to prosper. Zhang Tai, you said that Li Jiyu is so loyal, what should I give him a reward? ”

Zhang Tai smiled: "Li Situ's loyalty is known to the world, no matter how His Majesty rewards him, thunder and rain and dew are all gentlemen. After a pause, he said, "The messenger sent by Li Situ to deliver the letter also had a request letter to be sent to the political affairs hall, but it was vetoed by Lu Xiangguo. ”

"What request?" Li Yi asked.

"Here's the thing, after Li Situ recovered Liaodong, he re-established prefectures and counties in the recovered land, and now the Liaodong Peninsula is set up as Jinju, Jiju, Jianzhou, Anju and Xiuzhou, and Pyongyang is set up as Cheongju. In the land of the six states plus the two states of Pingzhou and Denglai, Li Situ temporarily promoted the officials of Kyushu and various counties, and this time he hoped that the imperial court would approve it and make a formal appointment. ”

"Lu Xi didn't agree?" Li Yi asked.

Zhang Tai nodded, Lu Xi did not agree, it was because Tian Lingzi did not agree. Li Jing now owns the territory of nine states, plus the territory of fifteen counties in Ziqing Town, and Li Jing occupies a huge territory. Although Li Jing's development in Liaodong made Tian Lingzi lower his vigilance for a while, it only took Li Jing less than three years to take down the Liaodong Peninsula, which was still out of Tian Lingzi's expectations. Li Jing is developing too fast, and if Li Jing is given time, Li Jing will be able to level the entire eastern and western Liaoning. At that time, Li Jing had a heavy army, who could really balance him. Tian Lingzi felt that he had been deceived by Li Jing, and Li Jing crossed the sea to run Liaodong, making him think that Li Jing could not threaten him anymore, who would have expected such a result.

Under such circumstances, he wanted to infiltrate Li Jing's territory. Li Jing wants to appoint state and county officials himself, and he must not tolerate it anymore.

Li Yi thought about it and roughly understood some of the reasons for Lu Xie's refusal. He had long known that Lu Daotian Lingzi and Li Jing were at odds, but as he got older, he began to have a better understanding of the way to control the subordinates. Tian Lingzi and Li Jing were both his important ministers, and they fought, and earlier he hoped to resolve the conflict and reconcile them. But now, he felt that the discord between the two important ministers was actually a good thing for him. Li Jing and Tian Lingzi are at odds, the referee is him, and they all need the support of the Son of Heaven. And he. It can allow the two to check and balance each other.

Tian Lingzi kept saying bad things about Li Jing in his ear. said that Li Jing supported the army and respected himself. Arrogant and domineering. However, Li Jing doesn't see it that way, Li Jing may have some shortcomings, but Li Jing's loyalty to him is still very sincere, at least until now, Li Jing has not shown the slightest disobedience. He needs Li Jing, Li Jing's generous dedication, and Li Jing, a powerful courtier, and his soldiers and horses. With a capable minister like Li Jing, the feudal towns of the world can be a little more respectful to the imperial court.

As for saying that Li Jing has a heart of self-respect and self-respect, Li Yi doesn't believe it very much. He asked Li Jing to serve as the envoy of the Ziqing Festival. But Li Jing only controlled half of the territory of Ziqing Town, and even ceded half of the territory to Wang Jingwu. If Li Jing really had a heart of disobedience, how could he give up Qingqizi and other places to Wang Jingwu, and instead of developing in the Central Plains, he would develop towards overseas Liaodong.

At least, when Li Shidao seized Qingzhou, he developed towards the Central Plains and seized the territory of the Tianping Army and the Taining Army. Li Jing does not develop to the Central Plains, which means that Li Jing does not have such a disobedient heart.

"When I appointed Li Jing as the protector of Anton, I made it clear that Anton's affairs were up to him. The imperial court should support his decision on the appointment of officials in the new prefectures and counties of Liaodong. This thing. The Council and the Government Hall explained to the public. ”

On the same day, Li Yi returned to Beijing. The next day, he convened the ministers of the political hall and the left and right envoys of the Privy Council, the envoys of the north and south of the Xuanwei Yuan, and the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army to discuss the matter together.

"Li Situ recovered the Liaodong Peninsula and Pyongyang, and restored most of the old land of Andong, and made remarkable contributions, raised the prestige of our country, and restored my territory, I am very pleased, and I decided to greatly reward Li Situ and give Li Situ the title of King of Andong County!" As soon as Li Yi sat down, he immediately said an astonishing sentence.

When the prime ministers and the powerful eunuchs here heard this, they were all stunned for a moment.

There are many people with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, but every king with a different surname is a great person, and he has the merit of recreating the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, such as Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County, and Li Guangbi, the king of Linhuai County, even ascended to the throne of Linhuai when he was the emperor, and the prince and so on.

Li Sheng, who was known as the one who had the merit of rebuilding the Tang Dynasty, was first crowned the king of Hechuan County because of the great destruction of Tubo, and then was also renamed the king of Xiping County because of the pacification of the rebellion during the Jingyuan Mutiny. Ma Sui and Hun Xuan, who were contemporaries of Li Sheng, were also named the kings of Beiping and Xianning because of their efforts to overcome difficulties.

There were also some powerful feudal vassals with different surnames, such as Tian Chenghei, Li Huaixian, Zhu Xicai, and Li Xilie, who were unable to control and threatened the imperial court, and the imperial court made kings to appease them, or crowned kings to contain other feudal towns.

In addition, there are some who rebelled first and then surrendered and were crowned kings, such as when the imperial court conscripted Li Shigu to make the Ziqing Festival, Li Shigu's subordinate general Liu Wu was the first to rebel and then surrender, and he turned against the court to defeat Li Shigu.

There are more than 100 kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be the largest number in all dynasties. However, since Xianzong, there have been very few kings with different surnames, and there are even fewer kings with different sexes due to merit.

Those who changed their surnames to Wang with the words "An", "Ping", "Ning" and "Ding" in their titles are all because of their merits and different surnames Wang, Li Sheng, Wang of Xiping County, Li Xilie of Nanping, and Ma Sui of Beiping.

Li Yi, the Son of Heaven, wanted to give Li Jing a different surname and the title of King of Andong County, which was a king with a different surname, not to appease the king because of the power of the feudal town. Although Li Jing's surname is Li, he is not the king of Li Tangzong, and he is the king of a different surname. After being crowned king, he enjoys the same rights and treatment as the kings of the clan, and the king of the county is from the first rank, but the shadow son is a five-grade official, and even the descendants can attack the lord. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong discussed feudalism with his ministers and formulated a system of different surnames and non-meritorious kings.

Although today's Tang Dynasty is not as strong as it was at the beginning, and the king is not as glorious as it was at the beginning, the prince is still not something that ordinary people can get. Since the three dynasties from Xuanzong to Yizong and the current Son of Heaven, there has never been a king with a different surname.

The Son of Heaven wants to crown Li Jing as the king of Andong County, which is the first king with a different surname since the Three Dynasties.

The generals were dumbfounded, and they didn't react for a while.

"Immediately prepare an edict to announce the world, add Li Jing to the king of Andong County, and seal 5,000 households with real food." Li Yi did not discuss it with the ministers, but directly gave the order. "In addition, Li Jing has asked the list of officials from all states and counties under the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate to play, and I have seen all of them, and they will all be allowed to play, and the officials will immediately issue an official notice." After finishing speaking, Li Yi got up directly and left.

Tian Lingzi sat in the hall, watching the figure of the Son of Heaven go away, and then turned around and disappeared, with an indescribable loss in his heart. He knew that in this matter, he couldn't reverse it! (To be continued......)
