As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials frowned and were a little surprised.
Only then was he granted the rank of fourth-grade general to conquer the south?
This...could it be possible that the Holy Spirit still can't trust Li Zhufeng and refuses to entrust him with important tasks?
Zhang Xun frowned even more, thinking again and again, but was still ready to stand up and speak for Li Zhufeng.
But who would have thought that before he could even take a step forward, he heard Emperor Jing Xing speak again: "General Li Changkong of the Tiger Camp of the Qianlong Camp, come forward to listen to the seal."
As soon as this statement came out, all civil and military officials understood it, and Zhang Xun also retracted his outstretched legs.
According to the laws of Daqian, if the father has made great contributions but is not promoted in the court, the credit can be transferred to his son.
Of course, the premise is that the father agrees.
Obviously, Li Zhufeng transferred part of his credit to Li Changkong.
Hearing Emperor Jing Xing's voice, Li Changkong felt mixed emotions in his heart.
For generals, merit is naturally the most important, after all, they are all earned by fighting for their lives.
But for dad, the credit can be given to himself.
This father-son relationship cannot be said to be unimportant.
"Your Majesty Li Changkong, come forward and listen to the seal!"
Li Changkong stood up from the end of the generals' team, walked quickly to the center of the hall, and then said this.
"Promote Li Changkong to the rank of Cavalry General of the Royal Forest Army and command the Qianlong Camp!"
hiss!
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the Zhengde Hall took a deep breath.
Especially Zhang Xun, his teeth were itching with soreness.
General Qiaoqi is a serious sixth-grade general. He can already be regarded as a senior general, not to mention the General Qiaoqi of the Forbidden Army.
Moreover, everyone present knew what kind of army the Qianlong Camp was.
Such an honor, will it be worth it after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne?
Li Changkong must at least have the rank of a third-grade general, no worse than Zhang Xun does now.
The emperor was not only dissatisfied with Li Zhufeng, he was simply too satisfied!
How old is Li Changkong?
It seems that it won’t be called the crown until after the Chinese New Year this year.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is no such thing as a knightly cavalry general, it has not been seen for more than ten years.
This son will be extremely valuable from now on!
The officials present lowered their heads one after another, already thinking about it.
"My lord Li Changkong, thank you for your kindness!"
After Li Changkong thanked him, he stood up and returned to his original position.
After the canonization of Li Zhufeng and Li Changkong and his son, the court meeting stopped doing other things and ended quickly.
On the way home, Li Changkong thought about it again and again, and asked: "Dad, why should you give me this credit?"
"Logically speaking, my son is still young and will have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future, but my father is already old, and merits like this are almost always obtained at the cost of his life."
When Li Zhufeng heard this, he smiled happily at first, but then he did not answer Li Changkong's doubts. Instead, he looked around and said to him: "Changkong, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married."
"In this way, when dad goes down a hundred years later, he will have an explanation with your mother."
"Is there a woman you like in this capital city?"
When Li Changkong heard this, he felt helpless and said: "I have been on duty in the East Palace and Qianlong Camp all day long, and I can't even see the woman's face, so how can I talk about the woman I like?"
When Li Zhufeng heard this, he immediately grinned. It's so good not to have the woman you like!
How can you marry a princess when you have the woman you love?
"Then what do I think of Princess Huaiqing?"
"Ah?" Li Changkong's eyebrows instantly wrinkled. He looked at Li Zhufeng in disbelief and said, "Dad, are you okay?"
"Did you get injured on the battlefield and damage your brain?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Li Zhufeng's forehead and touched it.
"Oh, dad's fine. It's just those bastards from Nanchen. Who can hurt dad?"
"Bah, bah, bah, you've dragged me away. This Princess Huaiqing is a virtuous and virtuous woman. She is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is more than enough to match your boy."
Hearing this, Li Changkong recalled that Huaiqing, who was wearing a palace dress at the poetry meeting, was indeed elegant and generous, with an exquisite appearance.
But..., he still shook his head and said: "Dad, she is a princess, but she may not like us."
Well, the main reason is that Li Changkong feels that he is not familiar with Huaiqing at all.
"What's the point? As a military general, the most important thing is that we are brave!"
"Do you know whose daughter Zhang Shibo is looking for for Zhang Han?"
"The daughter of King Zhongshan! Princess Zhaoyang!"
"It's not that dad looks down on Zhang Han, but isn't my son much better than Zhang Han?"
"He is worthy of Princess Zhaoyang, why can't my son be worthy of Princess Huaiqing?"
"Son, you may not think that I am a princess, but this princess also has to get married!"
"I can marry someone else, why can't I marry you?"
Li Zhufeng's eloquent talk made Li Changkong feel particularly reasonable.
This princess has always wanted to marry, so why can't the person she marries be herself?
Well, actually he thinks Huaiqing is really good-looking, has a graceful temperament, and even... has a particularly good figure, and she is still a princess!
You don’t want this?
As a time traveler, who wouldn’t want to marry a princess?
To put it more simply, he is greedy for other people’s bodies!
In a feudal dynasty like Daqian, free love was too difficult.
In that case, why not find something good-looking?
What's more, food and sex are human nature and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Ninety-nine percent of the men in the world are lustful.
The remaining 0.10% are eunuchs.
"What dad said makes sense! So dad gave me this credit just to make it easier for me to marry the princess?"
"That's right!"
"Dad is old, it's useless to ask for these credits."
"But you are different! The heroic cavalry general of the Yulin Army, a sixth-grade warrior who has not yet reached the highest rank. Looking at the noble disciples in the entire Qiandu City, which one can compare with you?"
"If the princess wants to get married, will it be someone else's turn?"
After hearing this, Li Changkong applauded and could only say that he was awesome.
In order for him to marry the princess, his father was really full of calculations.
"Changkong, remember! Our Li family men must either not marry or marry the princess!" Li Zhufeng patted Li Changkong on the shoulder and said this with a domineering tone!
However, when Li Changkong heard this, he glanced at his mouth and said, "If you have the ability, say this to my mother's face."
"Cough cough cough!" Li Zhufeng coughed twice hurriedly and said: "Don't talk nonsense."
"In dad's heart, although your mother is not a princess, she is better than a princess!"
"I understand, understand! Dad, you are henpecked!"
"What words? What words are these? Dad is not afraid of your mother, but respects your mother!"
…
In the Nuan Pavilion, Queen Lu came in with a bowl of soothing soup, placed it on Emperor Jing Xing's desk, and said: "Your Majesty, after approving the memorial, remember to drink the soup."
"Thank you Queen, I understand."
"One more thing, there is a letter from King Zhongshan."
"Did you get a letter from Xiao Gong?"
"What did you say?"
"Here is the letter, Your Majesty, please read it."
