Chapter 759: Qingwei, wait a moment, Laodao has a little thing to tell you
After a private conversation between His Majesty Li Yuan and Li Erfeng in the imperial city, the matter about Yulin General Zhang Jin cheating and killing the Yulin Army was dismissed in such an understatement. The next day, His Majesty Li Yuan passed the Shangshu Province,
Issued an edict that concluded the Turkic invasion.
In the edict, His Majesty Li Yuan first reiterated the fact that the battle against the Turks was just, legitimate and necessary, and then gave a group commendation to the participants in the battle...
For example, Princess Pingyang, who risked her own life and besieged the 70,000 Turkic army with 30,000 men, was the first in credit, adding food to 5,000 households; the second in credit, King Qin Li Shimin, commanded Ruoding and took the lead, adding a large number of troops to Jiduji Road;
Dou Gui of Daxingtai on the state road had meritorious service in defeating the Turkic division and was appointed as the general manager of the march on Guannai Road; Shi Li Jing, the governor of the Yangzhou governor's office who inspected the school, had outstanding meritorious service and was promoted to the governor of Yanzhou and so on.
In these lists of merit-based awards, His Majesty Li Yuan quietly inserted Yulin General Zhang Jin into the list, saying that he had meritorious service in fighting, and promoted him from Yulin General to Champion General.
After this edict was issued, although there were still voices of doubt in the government and the public, all the important ministers in the court remained silent. After all, everyone knows that although the position of Champion General is higher than that of General Habayashi and has a nice name,
In fact, he is just an empty-headed general, completely incomparable to General Habayashi, who holds one of the twelve guards.
It can be regarded as a punishment for Zhang Jin... right?
"This time we can say we have won a great victory!"
In Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin, who could not hide his excitement, said happily to his group of right-hand men.
"After Zhang Jin was promoted and demoted secretly, the position of General Yulin he vacated, Aye, has also agreed to be handed over to Maogong. Now among the Twelve Army, we have actually occupied the positions of Guqi, Xuange, and Jing
Yue, Yu Lin, Qi Guan, and the Six Armies of Swaggering..."
"Actually, it's more than that!"
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he saw Zhang Liang, the tongue-curling star, standing up proudly, clasping his hands into fists, and said respectfully.
"Thanks to His Highness's blessing, I have successfully persuaded General Yuanyou Qian Jiulong, Tianji General Fan Shixing, and Zhewei General Yang Mao. They have all promised me that they will join His Highness's command."
"good!"
Excited, Li Shimin slapped the desks in front of him with his palm. He heard a click, and the desks made of solid wood were broken by him.
"……Feel sorry!"
Li Shimin, who found that he was a little too excited, smiled awkwardly at the others.
"Recently, with the opening of Taoist temples of the Quanzhen sect in Chang'an, Emperor Ziwei's faith has increased rapidly, and Gu's divine power has also increased with the tide, and he can't stop it accidentally!"
"..."
The cute new gods in Tiance Mansion were all speechless when they heard Li Shimin's words that could be called Versailles.
Everyone is a god, so why can't they feel the feeling of their faith increasing so quickly? They also really want their divine power to grow so fast that they can't even contain it!
"If you add the Yuanyou Army, Tianji Army and Zhewei Army, we now have the Ninth Army in the hands of the Twelve Guards!"
Although he became a god, Changsun Wuji still looked a little fat, thinking.
"Now there are only Princess Pingyang's Banqi Army, Huo Guogong Chai Shao's Pingdao Army, and that guy Luo Yi's Tianjie Army!"
"Don't worry Luo Yi!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling to the servants on the side to remove the cases he had broken off, and then continued.
"Because he performed well in the battle against the Turks this time, Gu has generously recommended him to take over Li Daozong's position. He will lead the Tianjie Army to station in Lingzhou and be responsible for sending troops to harass the Turks. Even if he wants to support Dalang, he is beyond his reach.
!”
"You don't have to worry if you join the flag army!"
After becoming a god, Fang Xuanling, who looked more and more calm, held a feather fan in her hand and fanned it gently.
"Since Laojun has chosen His Highness as the Prince of Peace, then Master Qingwei will fully support His Highness. And because of Princess Qingwei's relationship, Princess Pingyang will at best remain neutral and will not fall to the side of the Prince, that is,
The only variable left now is Huo Guogong Chai Shao and the Pingdao Army in his hands!"
"..."
After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin's face immediately showed embarrassment.
"Unexpectedly, it was Sichang who stood opposite Gu in the end..."
Li Shimin gently touched the curly beard on his chin with his hand, and a firm look flashed in his eyes.
"Let's do this. Gu will talk to Sichang. If Sichang is stubborn and refuses to realize it, then Gu will have no choice but to kill the family out of justice!"
…
While Li Shimin was discussing the future with his right-hand men in Tiance Mansion, Kong Qing was sitting opposite Qingxiazi in the backyard of the Taishi Bureau of the Imperial City, looking at the edict in front of him in a daze.
"When Xiaodao was promoted to the second Taishi Cheng in the Taishi Bureau, why did the saint suddenly make such a decree without any clue?"
"Who knows?"
Qingxiazi was holding the tea cup and looking at the clouds in the sky in the distance with her eyes.
"Maybe the saint feels guilty for your nameless son-in-law, so he wants to make it up to you; and maybe your sword that cut the sky yesterday scared the saint, so he wants to appease you."
"..."
Kong Qing blinked silently.
How could Master Qingxia go on and on, the reason for her promotion was either nepotism or coercion...
Could it be that His Majesty Li Yuan suddenly discovered that Qingwei Zhenren of the Taishi Bureau was of high moral character and could serve as an example for the Taishi Bureau, so he was promoted?
"Zhenren, does that mean that from now on Xiaodao will be tied with Yin Wenchao, the top ten masters of Louguan Dao, and become the number two figure in the Taishi Bureau under you?"
"what are you thinking?"
Qingxiazi looked up at the sky and answered casually.
"Yin Wenchao, the top ten great masters, has been famous all over the world for decades. You, a junior who has been a real master for less than two years, how can you be on an equal footing with others?"
"this……"
Kong Qing looked at Qingxiazi and said tentatively.
"Is Pindao's fist strong enough?"
Snapped!
An explosive chestnut appeared on Kong Qing's head.
"Nonsense! Yin Wenchao didn't offend you. Do you, Master Qingwei, want to find fault and beat him up? Besides, if you don't use the artifacts you got from Taishang Laojun, with your current strength, you can
You don’t even know if you can’t win!”
After hearing Qingxiazi's words, Kong Qing muttered in a low voice.
"As you said, Zhenmao, equipment is also part of our strength!"
Snapped!
Another big chestnut fell on Kong Qing's head.
"External force is external force, what nonsense is it as a part of strength!"
"..."
Kong Qing touched his head with his hand and looked at Qingxiazi speechlessly.
well!
For those who have never played online games and don't know what soul-bound equipment is, the Tang Dynasty soil that cannot be lost... people just can't understand the truth that equipment is strength.
boom!
"Why are you cheating again, Zhenmao?"
"I don't need to look at it..."
Qingxiazi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly.
"I also know that you are slandering the old man!"
"..."
Kong Qing blinked and looked at Qingxiazi silently.
Why do I feel that Master Qingxia is becoming more and more unreasonable now...
"Then Zhenren, will there be any other benefits after Xiaodao becomes Taishi Cheng, such as being in charge of more departments?"
"How many more departments are in charge? Great!"
Qingxiazi held the tea cup and glanced at Kong Qing with a half-smile.
"I wonder which department you want to manage, Master Qingwei?"
"this……"
Kong Qing touched his chin with his hand and began to think seriously.
"The Astronomy Department is responsible for recording stars and celestial phenomena... The Calendar Department is responsible for recording data, revising the calendar, and determining the agricultural season... These seem to be meaningless. The Optical Department is responsible for judging good and bad luck and predicting disasters through looking at the gas... This kind of magic thing
It’s also very boring. The Engraving Department is responsible for manufacturing and improving magical instruments... Hmm! This seems to be okay!"
As he said that, Kong Qing raised his head and looked at Qingxiazi with a friendly expression.
"Since Zhenren Qingxia and Zhenren Yin are seniors, let him manage the three important departments of astronomy, calendar, and observation, while a junior like Xiaodao will be in charge of the logistics department such as the engraving department and the prayer department.
Do you think this is a good idea for a dangerous department like the Jianbu department that needs to be on the front line?"
"Old Taoist, of course there is no problem..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Qingxiazi smiled but not smiled again and looked at him with a strange expression.
"I'm just afraid that you, Master Qingwei, will feel wronged in the future!"
"rest assured!"
Kong Qing patted his chest and answered without hesitation.
"It's right for a junior like Xiaodao to feel a little wronged. Master, please feel free to hand over the Lukeng Department and the Prayer Department to Xiaodao!"
Whoosh!
A token flew out of Qingxiazi's sleeve and landed in Kong Qing's arms.
"Okay! This is the token of the Luo Ke Department. From now on, the affairs of the Luo Ke Department will be left to you, Master Qingwei!"
"OK!"
Kong Qing put away the Lukengbu token with a smile, and then extended his hand towards Qingxiazi.
"What about the Qiluobu? Master, shouldn't you also give the Qiluobu's token to Xiaodao?"
"hehe……"
Qingxiazi glanced sideways at Kong Qing, with a strange expression on her face.
"Now all the people in the Qinghuan Department have been dragged to Qingdu Temple by your master Qingwei to join the Quanzhen Sect. You still ask the old Taoist for a token. Without the token, you, the Quanzhen Master, can't command those people.
?"
"..."
Kong Qing blinked silently.
It seems so!
Now the entire Taishi Bureau's Prayer Department, except for Wang Gui, the supervisor who is nominally his equal, the rest of the action team members seem to have been pulled into the Quanzhen sect, and they really don't need any tokens!
"Ah ha ha……"
Kong Qing touched his head with his hand and laughed awkwardly.
"If you don't say anything, Master, Xiaodao will forget about this matter. Then, Master, please continue to rest. Xiaodao will go to the engraving department first to experience the feeling of a new official taking office!"
"Qingwei, please wait a moment..."
Seeing Kong Qing stand up and prepare to leave, Qingxiazi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said lightly.
"I have a little thing to tell you!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
In order to determine the situation before the Xuanwu Sect in the early Tang Dynasty, Mengxin found out in the "Cefu Yuangui" the candidates for the commanding generals of the Twelve Guards around the eighth year of Taketori's reign when looking up information, and then Mengxin did some rough calculations.
.
Among the Twelve Generals, Dou Dan of the Banner Army, Yang Gongren of the Drumming Army, Li Shentong of the Xuange Army, Liu Hongji of the Jingyue Army, Sun Shunde of the Qiguan Army, and An Xiuren of the Swaggering Army can all be regarded as Li Erfeng's ironclad supporters.
.And Zhang Jin, who first served in the Yulin Army and then transferred to the Tianji Army, Yang Mao in the Zhewei Army, Qian Jiulong in the Yuan You Army, Chai Shao in the Pingdao Army, Wang Changxie in the original Tianji Army, Fan Shixing in the original Tianjie Army, and others.
He is on the side of His Majesty Li Yuan.
Only Luo Yi, who later served as General Tianjie, could be regarded as Li Jiancheng's confidant, but what attitude a hero like Luo Yi had towards Li Jiancheng is actually worth pondering.
Many people now only saw that Li Erfeng was forced into desperation by Li Jiancheng, and finally took hundreds of people to take risks, but they did not see that Li Erfeng could deploy hundreds of fully armed people in the imperial city without anyone noticing, but
How serious must be the infiltration of the Twelve Guards to avoid being discovered by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
