When Li Mu heard Yu Wentai's rebuke, he burst into tears and burst into tears. He fell to the ground and wailed: "I have been unable to sleep day and night for a long time since I came back. I don't know how to worship my benefactor after I return..."
"Idiot! What's the use of the iron coupon? Even if you are guilty, why should you worry!"
After Yu Wentai heard this, he raised his leg and kicked Li Mu again, and said with a smile, his face no longer as angry as before.
After hearing this, Li Mu shook his head and said: "I was given the iron coupon to praise my merits, not to hide my evil! I deserve to die. How dare I use my sinful body to taint the grace given by the Lord..."
After Yu Wentai heard this, his eyes became gentler, but he still laughed and cursed: "You are really stupid! You have been given before, but you will have nothing afterward? Even if you offend for a while, if you keep this dog alive, you can still hope to be guilty and meritorious. If you die, everything will be done."
Stop it!"
At this point, he looked a little downcast, turned around and sat down at the table, looked at Li Mu and said in a deep voice: "Since the iron coupon is given but not used, it is useless to you, so please hand it over to the mansion immediately!"
"Ah? This..."
The Li brothers originally thought that the matter could be dealt with, at least on the surface Yu Wentai would not pursue any further punishment. After hearing this, they suddenly became speechless.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Yu Wentai then rummaged through the desk and found an edict for the audience to read in front of the audience. It turned out that it was to confer Li Mu as a general.
Li Mu was overjoyed when he heard this award, and he kowtowed quickly to thank him. Yu Wentai said in a deep voice in the hall: "In the battle of Jiangling, Li Xianqing first occupied Jiangjin and then moved to the Xiakou. Jiangling was able to conquer the settlement and made great contributions. He deserves a lot of credit."
Compliment. After you hold an important position, you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds. In order to avoid the chance of giving you a strong iron ticket, I will take it back to the house now. This will serve as a warning and you will not repeat your words and deeds in the future!"
"I must remember the Lord's teachings and never dare to be arrogant!"
After all this tossing, Li Mu was a little overwhelmed with emotions, and the joy of being promoted was not that strong. After hearing this, he just responded respectfully.
After announcing the title of Li Mu, Yu Wentai began to ask about the current military situation in Jiangling. Li Chang and others took a quick look at the flowers and took a quick look. Although there was a lot of content in the report, it was all relatively simple. As for the most important
The important military aircraft matters were not involved much. Li Mu participated in the Battle of Jiangling and must have a better understanding than those people.
Li Mu also made no secret about this and told everything he knew.
"You said that after the Jiangling War, even the small soldiers in the army will be rewarded with hundreds of pieces of silk?"
Yuwentai listened to Li Mu's story and grasped the key elements immediately. He frowned in disbelief and said: "How is this possible? There are 60,000 troops going south, and there are troops in Jingzhou. With such a huge army, even if
How can you get such a huge amount of goods after exhausting Jiangling's treasury? Li Boshan has always acted with lies and truth, are you deceived by him without knowing it? "
If only some meritorious scholars were given a hundred pieces of silk, Yu Wentai wouldn't be surprised. But Li Mu said that everyone should be given at least a hundred pieces of silk. This was completely beyond his imagination. How could this be possible?
!
"It's true. This matter is not a private plan between two or three people. It is a matter of benefit to all parties. It is too difficult to make a lie! Not to mention ordinary pawns, just the minister, I know everything
General, everyone will receive a generous reward!"
Li Mu paused for a moment after talking about this, and peeked at Yu Wentai, who was still frowning, and then quickly introduced the arrangements for the Jiangling military market and war certificates. If it was just a gift of silk, it might really be true.
There is a problem of withholding some of the rewards of soldiers, but this is the circulation and realization of military certificates in the market and exchange for resources, which involves many parties. If there is any reward that is not in place, it will definitely be difficult to conceal it.
At the end of the story, Li Mu took out a military merit coupon with a face value of one hundred from his arms and presented it to him. At the same time, he said: "Your Majesty, this is the military merit coupon issued by Jiangling Camp. I feel guilty and uneasy in my heart, although
As a general, I don't dare to be greedy for rewards. I only take this coupon, which is the same reward as an ordinary soldier, and I have rejected all the other rewards."
"This seems to be what Li Boshan would do. It is best for this disciple to cater to the public's interests with novelty and curiosity, and make people fascinated by it!"
Yu Wentai took the exquisitely printed military certificate and admired it for a moment, then sneered and said, then he looked up at Li Mu and said: "So, all the goods accumulated in Jiangling's treasury must have been scattered among the armies by him.
The officers and soldiers in the army must be grateful. Even ordinary soldiers in the army receive such generous rewards. As a vanguard general, you must be rewarded handsomely, but you directly refused?"
"How can it be that I am brave enough to go south because I am greedy for worldly rewards? What's more, my kindness and honor will come from my own way, so why do I need to look to others!"
After Li Mu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said seriously.
After Yu Wentai heard this, he smiled slightly, and then sighed: "It should be kept, why bother to save the treasure for this? There are many treasures in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if you don't keep them for your own use, you can come back and offer them."
In the mansion!"
This joke was half true and half false. Of course Yu Wentai was very greedy for the wealth in Jiangling's treasury. Part of the reason why he was eager to leave Jingzhou Military Palace aside was that he hoped to collect all of Jiangling's treasury.
He also felt heartbroken when he heard that Li Tai, a prodigal son, had generously distributed rewards to all the soldiers. If so much money and materials could be used centrally, how many great things could be done!
However, it can also be seen from this point that Li Boshan is not as calm as he appears, otherwise he would not be so generous to the masses to win people's hearts. It seems that it is not easy for him to command so many people and stationed in Jiangling.
Therefore, it is more credible that he will not detain a large army at the border.
After learning this, Yu Wentai waved his hand to Li Muqie to retire and recuperate, and invited Li Bi and other important officials to come here to discuss the requests made by Li Tai.
This matter was finally dealt with. When brothers Li Yuan and Li Mu exited, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. They looked at each other and secretly said they were thankful.
"Thank you very much, brother, for helping me this time, otherwise I might not have passed the test so easily!"
After walking a certain distance, Li Mu bowed to his brother Li Yuan again and thanked him.
After hearing this, Li Yuan sighed: "It is really difficult for you to encounter such a situation this time. No matter what choice you make, you will inevitably face troubles in the future. It was also because Zhang Wugong passed away suddenly and the Lord really had no one around, so you were lucky.
You must be forgiven, and moreover, you must be commended. If not, even if you are exempted from the death penalty, otherwise you will inevitably have to suffer a lot of torture and suppression in life. Of course, it is also a shame that you know your own sense of proportion and did not accept the generous rewards and gifts from Duke Taiyuan."
"Actually, I still accepted it, I just didn't bring it back."
When Li Mu heard this, he suddenly looked shy and whispered: "The reward from the Duke of Taiyuan is really too generous, and it would be disrespectful to refuse it. I know where my family is, and it will be difficult to stay in the south for a long time. If I return with heavy goods,
It must be a source of disaster, and my life may not be saved at that time. There is no need to be greedy for goods and risk my life, so I will leave all the wealth to the children working in the south. If I really can't escape this fate, I can also leave an heir in the south."
When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but glared at Li Mu, but after a moment he nodded and said: "This is a self-protection strategy. In short, after this incident, you should try to have as little contact with the southeast as possible. Tens of thousands of troops
He was stranded outside, and Duke Zhang Wudi suddenly passed away. The Lord is indeed a bit lacking in skills at the moment, but when things get better, he will never be willing to part ways with Duke Taiyuan, so that both internal and external affairs will be safe!"
"I listen to my brother."
Li Mu nodded and did not argue about this, but immediately approached Li Yuan and whispered: "It's just that Brother, Alang is a little too sharp! This time I return to the court, I am already prepared to be punished, and I will not
He doesn't mind sacrificing himself to show off Alang. But he is so eager to put aside his moral integrity, and in the eyes of others, it is inevitable that he is a bit cold. When it comes to matters in Kuang's house, who can show off his sharpness, who can be better than Taiyuan? Although Wang Alang is shrewd
, but I am still impatient. If this continues, I may be harmed!"
After hearing this, Li Yuan didn't care. He just waved his hand and said, "My son is now old and he can't listen to you as much as he did when he was young. You go home first, and I will lead him to confess to you later."
After sending Li Mu away, Li Yuan also returned to the hall to participate in the next meeting. His son Li Zhi had already been waiting in the corridor. When he saw his return, he stepped forward and quickly recounted the agenda in the hall in a low voice.
After Yuan listened, he had an idea in his mind. He raised his hand and patted his son on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then quickly walked into the hall.
After Li Bi and others in the hall learned that the 60,000 troops from the southern expedition were expected to return one after another, they each felt much relieved and did not express any objection to Li Tai's request.
After all, the Southeast is actually out of control at the moment. If the court does not grant ratification, then Li Boshan's arbitrary personnel operations in the Southeast will only make the court and the Chinese and Foreign Governments more embarrassed. And if it is given a nominal recognition,
, at least 60,000 new troops can be brought back to Guanzhong.
It's just that the Daxingtai of Kanto Road that was awarded before is somewhat out of date. Now the Chinese and foreign government must firmly grasp the name of war with the Northern Qi. This is the basis for the existence of their Kansai hegemony, so for Li Tai
It was renamed as Daxingtai of Shannan Road, responsible for the system of homage, and specialized in military and political affairs south of the Qinling Mountains.
In addition to this, certain adjustments need to be made in other aspects of titles. Now that Li Tai has been crowned king, of course the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom must also be added, and the title of Shangshu Ling must also be added.
After these issues are discussed, it will be decided to go to Jiangling to recruit the returning personnel of the Fubing division.
When this topic was brought up, everyone was a little silent. After all, it was still an extraordinary period. Yu Jin and others were still there. It was obviously not possible to send a small person there. If the big person was there, would he simply stay and keep Yu Jin company?
?
Just when the atmosphere fell into a strange dullness, Hou Mo and Chen Chong, who were being stared at by several people, said: "Since Chang Shangong's illness has disappeared, why not let him lead the army back? After all, it was Chang Shangong who sent the army before...
…”
As soon as he said these words, everyone around him nodded. If nothing else, even Yu Jin was stunned. It would be difficult for them to scare Li Boshan.
The only one who has some hope is Dugu Xin. He was not even allowed to attend today's meeting. Now his credibility in the eyes of everyone is already negative. If you send him there, you still have to worry about whether he will never come back. Thinking about it this way, it is still a good idea.
