He was dumbfounded!
Dumbfounded!
Li Er's decision shocked Dongfang Wugou, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others!
In the entire Great Tang, the only ones who truly possessed a private army were the Crown Prince's Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace!
Any other military mobilization would require the emperor's order!
But Li Er let Zhang Zhi have a private army of 20,000 people!
What kind of favor was this!
From a certain perspective, he had already completely surpassed Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
After all.
The six armies of the Eastern Palace combined did not even have twenty thousand men!
Gulp!
Dongfang Wugou, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui picked up another cup and poured a cup of water to drink to ease the shock in their hearts.
Their hands were trembling as they held the cups!
Li Er's decision had a huge impact on them!
It was so big that they could not accept it for a moment!
"Your Majesty, you…Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Zhi widened his eyes and asked Li Er in disbelief.
Not only Dongfang Wugou, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others were shocked, even Zhang Zhi was shocked!
This was too exaggerated!
The Right Military Guard, one of the sixteen guards of the Imperial City, could ignore the Emperor's orders and mobilize troops!
Doesn't this mean that he can mess with whoever he wants!？
This Right Guard had completely become his private army!
This was…This was…This was how he treated his own son!？
Zhang Zhi was completely dumbfounded!
He did not understand why Li Er would treat a small doctor like him with such favor!？
Just because he saved Empress Zhangsun?
Just because he had offered a good way to govern the country and invented something to contribute to the Great Tang?
No!
Just based on this point alone, it was not enough for an emperor to favor him so much!
Why was that?
Zhang Zhi was confused. He couldn't understand even if he racked his brains.
"I've never been so serious before!”
"Tomorrow, I will officially confer you the title of Great General of the Right Military Guards at the court meeting. I will also make Qin Huaidao and Chen Liuming your deputies!”
"You're Qin Qiong's savior, so they're on good terms with you. They'll definitely do their best to help you!”
Li Er sat upright and said to Zhang Zhi with a serious expression.
Just as Dongfang Wugou had thought.
Zhang Zhi's talent had indeed moved Li Er, making him want to support Zhang Zhi in his promotion.
All of this was paving the way for Zhang Zhi!
He had obtained the throne through a coup, so he understood the importance of the army to a ruler.
In order for Zhang Zhi to smoothly take over his position in the future, Li Er began to cultivate his own military power for Zhang Zhi from now on.
"Since Your Majesty has already put it this way, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse.”
"Good!"
"I'll accept this matter!"
With the military power in his hands, coupled with Zhang Zhi's system, he had enough confidence to face the methods of the aristocratic families.
......
The next day.
The Imperial Palace, Dew Palace.
Li Ergao sat on the dragon chair, with civil and military officials standing on his left and right.
"Wang De, announce the decree."
Li Er said to the chief attendant beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang De bowed and accepted the order. He walked from Li Er's side to the front of the civil and military officials.
"His Majesty has decreed that Zhang Zhi, the divine doctor, has the ability to dominate the world and is a rare and fierce general. Now that the position of the Right General of the 16 Guards of the Imperial Palace is vacant, Zhang Zhi is hereby promoted to the position of the Right General of the Military Guards!”
Whoosh--
Wang De's voice immediately caused an uproar among the civil and military officials in the court!
His eyes widened like copper bells!
His mouth was wide open!
His ears were as sharp as a fairy's!
Shocking!
Shocking!
Shocking!
All the officials in the court were dumbfounded!
Heavens!
What did they hear?
Zhang Zhi was actually conferred the title of Right Military Guard General by His Majesty!!
A person who had never even been a soldier, a person who had never even been on the battlefield, had actually been directly conferred the title of Great General!!
This was too ridiculous!
Just what kind of dogshit luck did this Zhang Zhi have to actually receive such favor from His Majesty!!？
Countless ministers were so jealous that they went crazy!
Especially Pei Ji.
His gaze was practically spitting fire!
Ahhhh!
Zhang Zhi! Zhang Zhi! It was this Zhang Zhi again!
What was wrong with His Majesty? What was wrong with him?？
Why did he have to favor that lowly commoner so much?？
Previously, he had been conferred the title of Marquis of Wannian County, Duke of Wannian County, and other titles without any real power.
But today!
He was actually rewarded with the title of the Great General of the Right Military Guards, who held real power and controlled the army!!
Once the reward was confirmed, Zhang Zhi's status would definitely be incomparable!!
A great general with real power and a founding county duke without real power were two completely different concepts!
"Your Majesty, I don't think this is appropriate.”
"That Zhang Zhi has never been in the army, has never fought in a war, has no military achievements, has no fame, and is not familiar with any martial arts. How can he take on the position of the Great General of the Right Military Guard?”
"Generals of this level must be like General Qin Qiong, General Cheng Yao, General Jin Cheng, General Hou Junji, General Yuchi Gong, General Yuchi, General Duan Zhixuan, who have been through countless battles and have made countless contributions!”
"How can a mere lowly doctor be on par with them?”
Pei Ji immediately jumped out to refute. He would never watch Zhang Zhi take over the power.
After all.
The battle between the two of them had not ended yet!
His nephew was still locked up in the prison of Chang 'an Local Government and could be executed at any time.
One had to admit that Pei Ji, this old fellow, did not have much ability and was full of schemes and plots.
He pulled Hou Junji and the others into the room.
They were all proud generals, and they absolutely could not tolerate a young kid like Zhang Zhi standing on the same level as them.
As expected.
The narrow-minded Hou Junji was instantly unwilling to accept Pei Ji's provocation.
He was the Great General of the Left Guards who had fought countless battles on the battlefield and used his life to return the favor. How could a brat with an inch of merit be on equal footing with him?
"Your Majesty, I believe that a general needs to be brave.”
"How can you lead an army without extraordinary martial arts? How can we make the soldiers obey?"
"I'm not talented, but I'm willing to learn from Miracle Doctor Li!”
"There's no need for him to defeat me! As long as he could withstand ten moves from this general, it would prove that he was qualified to be the Great General. Otherwise, he was not worthy at all!”
Hou Junji spoke to Li Erjin with a haughty expression and deep disdain.
Li Er narrowed his eyes at Hou Junji's objection, a cold gleam in his eyes.
Hou Junji!
It's fine if the officials of the aristocratic families oppose me, but even you, a minister of Yuancong, want to oppose me!？
Or could it be…You've already clung to those aristocratic families!？
Li Er had not expected Hou Junji's objection.
Li Er believed that even if these ministers who followed him to conquer the world did not understand his methods, at least they would not oppose him like the officials of the aristocratic families.
However, the truth was not what he thought.
He hadn't expected that the first person to oppose him would be his trusted Great General, Hou Junji!
Good!
Very good!
"I agree!"
"Tomorrow, I will personally host the martial arts competition between the two of you!”
"Retreat!"
After saying that, Li Er flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Hou Junji's actions had truly angered him. He had actually colluded with Pei Ji!
but...
You all underestimate my Saint Child too much!
Do you really think that I was lying when I said that Hao 'er is capable of holding a tripod and has the potential to become a tyrant?？
Tomorrow!
Open your eyes wide and see how powerful my Hao 'er is!!!
