"In that case, just listen to what I have to say."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes, and then looked at Xue Li: "Xue Li received the seal..."
"The villain is here."
Xue Lizhi walked out of the queue with his hands raised.
"I designate you as General Xuanwei!"
Li Shimin continued: "I hope you can make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and to me!"
Hearing this, Xue Li was also stunned.
He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually give him such a high official position.
For a newcomer who has just arrived, this is not only a great courtesy but also a source of great pressure.
After all, who can be convinced by giving such a high rank to a person without any merit at all?
Therefore, he needs to use his own skills to fill this favor and courtesy.
If it can't be filled in, then he will be the biggest joke.
But before he could thank him, Yu Zhining, who had been silent all this time, stood up.
He looked straight at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
After hearing what he said, Li Shimin turned to look at Yu Zhining and said, "Master Yu, what do you think is wrong?"
Yu Zhining said righteously: "Your Majesty, although Xue Li is powerful, his qualifications are still young."
"Therefore, I believe that he is not capable of taking on this important responsibility!"
You must know that General Xuanwei is an official of the fourth rank, and it is also a military position.
It is definitely against the rules for Li Shimin to canonize a person without any meritorious service.
Therefore, Yu Zhining said: "At the very least, we should wait until he has made meritorious service to the court before awarding him a reward..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt a little unhappy.
Is what I have said so easily refuted?
Why is anyone willing to come out and criticize themselves?
"This is a decision I made a long time ago."
Li Shimin looked directly at Yu Zhining and said, "Do you want me to break my promise?"
"My lord, I never meant that."
"It's just that I feel that the civil and military are members of the same family, and your Majesty cannot favor one over the other." >
"This year's new No. 1 scholar in science and technology, His Majesty just gave him the position of Secretary-General."
"But now, as soon as Wu Zhuangyuan emerges, His Majesty will directly reward his general with a title. This is not in line with common sense, let alone etiquette."
Yu Zhining also directly argued, without giving Li Shimin any face.
Li Shimin was also very angry and was about to get angry immediately.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong."
"This year Wu Zhuangyuan has just started Enke, and Xue Li is not just Wu Zhuangyuan."
Changsun Wuji looked directly at Yu Zhining and said: "In the final analysis, liberal arts is just one subject, but this year's martial arts subjects are two general subjects."
"Now Xue Li has won two top prizes in one fell swoop."
"If we really talk about it, making him a fourth-rank general is already humiliating others. How can it be contrary to common sense and etiquette?"
After all, it was Changsun Wuji.
Not only would he stand up to defend Li Shimin at critical moments, but he would also hit the point directly.
yes.
If Xue Li wins the first prize in only one subject, and he is awarded the title of fourth-rank general, that is Li Shimin's problem.
But Xue Li won the top prize in two subjects at once.
So, what else do you have to say?
Li Shimin also nodded secretly to Changsun Wuji, and then said: "Master Changsun is right."
“Although liberal arts and martial arts belong to the same family, they belong to different systems.”
"And martial arts is more difficult than liberal arts."
"After all, while martial arts studies examine martial arts, they also need to examine literary skills."
"It can be seen that Xue Li's title of fourth-grade general is well deserved."
"So, who has any opinions on this matter?"
When he finished speaking, Li Shimin glanced at everyone with his stern eyes.
plum
The people of the world have already spoken out to this extent, who dares to stand up and say more?
Doesn’t that make it clear that you are going against him, Li Shimin...
Everyone also worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!"
And then, it comes to the stage of awarding the highest rewards.
You know, Li Shimin had promised before that if Gao Zhixing could win, he would marry Li Tingxue to him.
Now, Gao Zhixing is also looking at Li Shimin expectantly.
And Li Shimin did not disappoint him.
He said directly: "General Gao, I promised you that if you defeat Xue Li, I will marry Princess Hanyang to you."
"Now, although you have not won, you have not lost either."
"So, my promise still works."
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "I will personally prepare the dowry for Princess Hanyang soon and choose a day to marry you two!"
After hearing this, Gao Zhixing quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin continuously to thank him.
How many years?
How many years have you been waiting?
Now, I finally got what I wanted.
Looking at Gao Zhixing's appearance, Li Chengqian also shook his head and smiled.
This guy seems like a fool...
…
After the dispersion of the dynasty.
Li Chengqian, Gao Zhixing and Xue Li walked side by side.
At this moment, Gao Zhixing was about to come out of the excitement with Li Tingxue.
He said quietly: "You asked me to do it on purpose just now, right?"
His words were clearly directed at Xue Li.
Hearing this, Xue Li laughed dryly and said: "General Gao is overthinking. You are so brave, how can I defeat you? How can I let you down?"
"hehe."
"Don't think I'm a fool."
"That shot just now made my arm numb and my back sore."
"But your kid didn't even move half a step. Doesn't that explain the problem?" r> Gao Zhixing took a deep breath and said: "I can accept losing, but I can't accept others giving up to me."
As he said that, he suddenly stopped and looked at Xue Li and said: "So, we have to fight again!"
"Hit me!"
Just when Gao Zhixing was confronting Xue Li, Li Chengqian suddenly spoke.
He went straight to Gao Zhixing and said, "I'm talking about your kid. Is your kid sick?"
"Everyone is happy now. Isn't it good enough that both of us are doing well?"
"Is the outcome between you two that important?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "How about I go and ask my father to reject the order to betroth my sister to you?"
Originally, Gao Zhixing still wanted to get along with Li Chengqian.
But after hearing the second half of Li Chengqian's words, Gao Zhixing immediately softened.
He smiled straight at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, don't be like this, I was joking with him."
"joke?"
"I think you're not kidding."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "You were very serious about what you just said. It looks like you won't let anyone leave without knowing the winner."
"I can tell you, Gao Zhixing, you got a big deal today."
"After all, not everyone is worthy of marrying my sister, Li Chengqian..."
Li Chengqian approached Gao Zhixing and said, "If you let me hear this, you are the least bit sorry for my sister..."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused.
Then, his voice became much lower, and his tone was a little lonely: "I will never let you go..."
After saying this, Li Chengqian took the lead and walked away without caring about the expressions of these two guys.
The remaining two people stared at Li Chengqian's back for a long time.
It wasn't until Li Chengqian disappeared that the two of them came back to their senses.
The two couldn't help but look at each other, and Xue Li sighed softly.
He shook his head and said: "Sometimes, winning or losing is really not that important..."
