The next day, morning court.
In Taiji Palace.
Even though he had slept very late last night, Li Yuan was still radiant and looked like an emperor.
"Greetings, Emperor."
All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Everyone, please rise."
At the beginning of the morning court session, the civil and military officials began to report to Li Yuan about the recent events in the Great Tang, and Li Yuan responded to them one by one.
After a while, when the matter was settled.
Li Yuan sat on the dragon throne.
"Luo Shixin, come forward and listen to the seal."
Luo Shixin was stunned. Li Yuan had already rewarded him yesterday, so why was he rewarded again today?
The civil and military officials were also extremely puzzled.
"My son, Luo Shixin, is loyal and brave, unparalleled in the world. He has been specially conferred the title of Golden Guards General, leading six thousand Golden Guards to protect the Imperial City.”
Luo Shixin was stunned.
The Great General of the Golden Guards was a fifth-grade official. Although it was not very big, with Luo Shixin's current official rank, logically speaking, he should not be a fifth-grade minor official.
However, everyone knew very well that the Golden Guard Great General represented the person closest to the Emperor. Only the person closest to him and the person he trusted the most would lead this position. After all, this concerned the Emperor's personal safety.
Li Yuan made Luo Shixin the Golden Guards General, which meant that he trusted Luo Shixin.
In fact, the idea of bestowing Luo Shixin with the title of Golden Guards General was something that Li Yuan had only thought of after he returned from the banquet last night.
After returning from the banquet, Li Yuan took out the merit book that Li Shiming had given him. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Luo Shixin was trustworthy. The most important thing was that Luo Shixin was powerful. Even his son, Li Yuanba, who was regarded as a god, was defeated by Luo Shixin.
If Luo Shixin protected the Imperial City and protected him, no one in the world could hurt him.
Thus, Li Yuan immediately made the decision to let Luo Shixin take over the position of Golden Guard General to protect his safety.
However, before Luo Shixin could step forward to accept the reward, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Imperial Father, your son thinks this is inappropriate.”
The one who spoke was none other than Crown Prince Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng strangely and said,""My son, Shixin is incomparably brave and invincible. With him protecting the Imperial City, all the villains are terrified. Why can't he take the position of the Golden Guards 'Great General?”
"Imperial Father, although the Great Tang reigns supreme and your majesty is unparalleled, the world is still not at peace. Liang Shidu is wreaking havoc in the west, Gao Zhandao in the south is restless, and Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong's remnants are also secretly moving. Most importantly, the Turks in the north have always had the intention of invading the Great Tang from the south.”
" A mighty general like Fourth Brother should be on the battlefield, expanding the territory of the Tang Empire and establishing military merits on the battlefield. It would be a waste of talent to arrange for Fourth Brother to be in Chang 'an and only lead a small General of the Golden Guards.”
"Your son is feeling unfair on behalf of fourth brother.”
Li Jiancheng's words resonated with many people. Even Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and the others thought that Luo Shixin should be killing the enemy on the battlefield instead of staying in Chang 'an to protect the Imperial City.
" Father, the Crown Prince is right. Fourth Brother is an invincible general on the battlefield. He should be allowed to make contributions to the Tang Empire on the battlefield, not guarding the Imperial City in Chang 'an.”
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng reached a rare agreement.
Now that the two most important princes of the Great Tang had spoken, the officials began to agree.
For a moment, Li Yuan was caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, he truly did like Luo Shixin and wanted to keep him by his side. On the other hand, Li Jiancheng's words were true. The world was not at peace yet, and the Turks were still stirring in the north. A peerless general like Luo Shixin truly should appear on the battlefield.
Li Yuan looked at Luo Shixin.
"Shixin, my son, what are your thoughts?”
"Father, your son is willing to kill enemies and make contributions in the border areas.”Luo Shixin said.
It was true that it was still the fifth year of Wude, and the battle between Li Shiming and Li Jiancheng had not reached a white-hot point, but the two of them had already begun to fight for the position of the Crown Prince.
Luo Shixin did not want to get involved in the battle between the two too early. Now, going to the border was the best choice.
"Imperial Father, our Great Tang's interior is now stable, but the Turks in the north are our greatest enemy. Your son believes that sending Fourth Brother to Bingzhou to intimidate the Turks is the best choice.”
Li Jiancheng's words caused an uproar among the cultural relics.
Bingzhou was the northernmost part of Youzhou, and the steppe was the Turks.
Sending Luo Shixin here was equivalent to directly confronting the Turkic army.
Li Shiming's expression turned cold. Others might not understand the meaning behind this, but he understood what Li Jiancheng meant.
Moving Luo Shixin so far away was to cut off the connection between him and Luo Shixin so that he could mediate between them.
However, Li Shiming had nothing to say. After all, Li Jiancheng was right.
"Shixin, are you willing to go to Bingzhou to attack the Turks?”Li Yuan asked.
"Your son is willing to go!"
"Alright, I've specially appointed Luo Shixin as the Governor of Bing Province. He will be in charge of all military affairs and has the power to act first before reporting. We'll set off on another day." Li Yuan said.
"Your son has received the decree."
"Alright, that's all for today's morning court session.”
Walking out of Taiji Palace and onto Vermilion Bird Street, Cheng Yaojin's expression was a little ugly. He approached Luo Shixin and whispered,""Shixin, you have to be careful on this trip to Bing Province.”
"Why?" Luo Shixin was stunned.”
"The walls have ears. Let's talk when we get back."
