"Phew!"
The heavy breathing of the officials could be heard in the hall.
What sort of person was Zhangsun Wuji? His sister was Li Er's wife, Empress Zhangsun of the Great Tang.
Zhangsun Wuji was the number one contributor to the incident at Xuanwu Sect and Li Er's most trusted confidant.
Even though Zhangsun Wuji had yet to become the Prime Minister, in everyone's eyes, it was only a matter of time.
However, such a person was removed from his official position by Li Er just because of a doubtful statement. Li Er's intention was self-evident.
Li Yuansheng's words were unquestionable!
"I, Zhangsun Wuji, have received the decree. I will definitely shut myself in and meditate on my mistakes.”
Zhangsun Wuji bowed to the ground.
Zhangsun Wuji had already come to his senses and understood Li Er's intentions.
He was also a shrewd person and immediately expressed his repentance.
Li Er nodded slightly and waved his hand to dismiss him.
Without a doubt, he still needed Zhangsun Wuji. However, he had to deal with him now to make an example out of him so that no more idiots would come out and ruin his good plan.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Li family's ancestors have appeared and protected our Li Tang Empire. This is the protection of the ancestors. We should worship the heavens and announce it to the world.”
Fang Xuanling came out to report.
Li Er smiled brightly when he heard this. Fang Xuanling was still mature and sensible.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
……
All the officials in the court expressed their agreement, and no one objected.
"Since that's the case, then let's announce it to the world and order the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to choose an auspicious day to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and ancestors.”
Li Er shifted his gaze to Li Yuansheng.
"Yuan Sheng, you have made illustrious contributions to the Great Tang. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?”
"This subject has been ordered by master to assist the Son of Heaven and protect the Great Tang.”
Li Yuansheng hurriedly declined.
Since Li Er had already admitted to this matter, the most important thing now was to confirm that he was the disciple of the Grand Supreme Elder.
After all, accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger.
Although Li Er usually didn't kill meritorious officials, Li Junxian was an exception.
However, as long as he could prove that he was the disciple of the Grand Supreme Elder, Li Er, then he could rest easy.
As a disciple of the Old Lord, in terms of seniority, he was even many generations higher than Li Er.
Of course, he couldn't be serious about such things.
"Yuan Sheng, you have made such a great contribution, how can I not reward you? Wouldn't the world laugh at my unclear reward?”
"Your Majesty!"
Li Yuansheng could only speak when he saw Li Er's sincerity.
"I have a request."
Li Er smiled.
"Just say it."
"This subject has a wish. I wish to wipe out the Turks and clear the seas. I only hope that one day, when Your Majesty goes out to attack the Turks, you can use me as the vanguard.”
Jieli Khan was dead, and the Turks had been defeated at the Battle of the Wei River. However, the Turks were an alliance of tribes, and now that Tuli Khan was still around, the Turks were still powerful.
"Good! Yuan Sheng, I'm proud of you for having such ambitions. It's not in vain for me to confer you the title of Champion Marquis.”
Li Er patted Li Yuansheng's shoulder hard.
"We promise you that when the Great Tang conquers the Turks in the future, you will be the vanguard.”
Li Yuansheng hurriedly thanked him.
Li Er changed the topic and asked,
"You don't want any other rewards?”
Li Yuansheng was a little helpless. Li Er was too unhappy. Couldn't he give him more money?
Li Er clearly knew that what he lacked the most was money.
After all, the family property that he had inherited had long been squandered.
Li Yuansheng could only speak.
"Your Majesty, can you give me a few clothes to wear? I can't always wear this.”
Li Eryi was stunned and immediately laughed out loud.
Li Yuansheng's clothes were tattered, but this was also his merit. Therefore, when they were giving the banquet, they did not let Li Yuansheng change his clothes.
This was also a kind of favor, indicating that the Emperor remembered your contributions. He also wanted to let the ministers see how the Marquis Champion killed the enemy for the country.
Hearing Li Yuansheng mention it, Li Er teased.
"Don't tell me that a dignified Marquis Champion doesn't have any clothes to wear?”
"Well, not only do I have no clothes to wear, I don't even have a house to live in.”
In fact, Li Yuansheng had a large courtyard in Chang 'an.
But he was the prodigal son of Chang 'an's No.1 Heaven!
Before he went to Yunzhou, Li Yunsheng had sold his house.
After that, he spent a few months in Yunzhou and squandered all his wealth.
Now, he really had no place to stand in Chang 'an.
Hearing Li Yuansheng speak so bluntly, Li Er laughed out loud again.
"Zhen will give you a house, a thousand mu of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of gold. Are you satisfied?”
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I am very satisfied.”
Li Er lowered his voice and asked,
"Then tell me, how long do you plan to squander all these assets?”
Li Yuansheng was slightly stunned. Li Er still didn't believe him.
It seemed that the prodigal from before had left a deep impression on Li Er.
Although Li Yuansheng had learned a lot of skills, Li Er did not believe that his personality could be changed so easily.
After all, a leopard could not change its spots!
This prodigal was really…wronged to be the scapegoat!
However, this seemed to have its benefits.
With the reputation of a prodigal, he could do whatever he wanted!
Thinking of this, Li Yuansheng felt relieved.
"With so much money, it should be able to last for a few years.”
This time, it was Li Er's turn to be stunned.
This was really the same prodigal nature!
A few years, so much money, how many years are you going to spend it all?
Li Er originally only wanted to remind Li Yuansheng not to learn from the past.
Unexpectedly…
Forget it, I've been defeated by you!
"Do you need anything else?" Li Er did not say anything more and asked again.
"Your Majesty, this subject's body is riddled with injuries. Please send the Imperial Physician Wei Feiyan to treat this subject.”
Li Yuansheng blurted out.
Li Er looked at him deeply.
"Alright, I promise you."
