The sun had completely set, but the debate in the hall continued.
The civil officials led by Zhangsun Wuji, with the exception of Fang Xuanling, were all desperately trying to persuade Li Er to lower the standard of the reward.
As for the generals, they were not willing to be outdone.
The entire hall was filled with quarrels.
Li Er's expression gradually turned ugly.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has entrusted this servant to deliver a message to Your Majesty.”
The little eunuch Xiao Dezi walked in and bowed respectfully.
"Guanyin maid?"
Li Er was stunned.
The Guanyin maid had never interfered in any discussion, but this time she was going to bring a message to the main hall.
Even though this was not an official court ceremony, it was already very rare.
Even Zhangsun Wuji was stunned. He wanted to know what his sister wanted to say.
"Speak!" Li Er ordered.
"The Empress asked this servant to deliver a message. Li Mo was injured in thirty-three places.”
The eunuch bowed.
"Hiss…"
All the officials present gasped.
Even Zhangsun Wuji's expression started to change.
The military officer sighed.
All the veterans present had been to the most tragic battlefield.
Including Li Er himself, he was also covered in injuries.
However, the fact that he had suffered thirty-three injuries in one battle truly shocked them.
Li Er patted the armrest and stood up. His eyes were red as he said,"Li Mo, for the sake of the country and the people, you have suffered such serious injuries and have contributed to my country!”
"General Tianming, Marquis of Ten Thousand Families!”
His voice, which represented the highest authority in the Great Tang, echoed through the hall.
The officials lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty…"
The unwilling Zhangsun Wuji tried to persuade him again.
"There's no need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind!"
Li Er solemnly bowed and rejected Zhangsun Wuji's suggestion. He said domineeringly,""The remaining rewards will be drafted by Fang Xuanling according to the rules.”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, where should I be conferred the title of Marquis?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Li Er stood still.
The voice revealed the majesty of imperial power.”
"Hiss…"
All the officials in the hall gasped.
Even Li Jing couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at Li Shiming's back.
The Great Tang's Marquis Champion had appeared.
……
At moonrise, in the Hall of Self-Cultivation.
Li Mo finally woke up.
He propped up his upper body in a daze and looked around.
He found himself in a magnificent building.
It was so big that he didn't even dare to call it a room, because it was more than half the size of a basketball court.
Shelves were placed in the four corners, and they were filled with oil lamps, illuminating them as brightly as day.
Beside the bed, there was an incense burner. One could tell that the fragrance inside was high-quality sandalwood.
"Where is this place?"
He opened his mouth to speak, only to find that his throat was dry and hoarse as if it had been roasted by fire.
"Little General, don't move. If you need anything, just tell me.”
An old man with white hair and a youthful face brought over a bowl of fragrant flower tea.
Li Mo took it without hesitation and gulped it down.
"Peach Blossom, quickly report to the emperor that the little general has woken up.”
The old man gave an order to the outside and then said to Li Mo,""This place is the Cultivation Hall of the Imperial Palace.”
"General, you have done a great service. The Emperor has personally ordered us imperial physicians to treat you. Even the Empress has fed you water.”
"Um…"
Li Mo was stunned.
He immediately thought of the golden armored emperor who came to his aid on the battlefield.
"It seems like I have to thank the Emperor and Empress. Also…"
"How are my comrades?" Li Mo asked anxiously. Where's my warhorse? Also, where is my Heavenly Halberd?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
"Hahaha, your comrades are treated by the best military doctors, and your warhorse is taken care of by the Imperial Steed Superintendent. Your weapons and armor can't be lost in the palace!”
A tall and strong middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous white brocade robe walked through the door.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The old imperial physician bowed.
" Student Li Mo greets Your Majesty." Li Mo struggled to get up.
The person in front of him was Tang Taizong, Li Shimin! He was a big shot in history!
"Thirty-three wounds, lie down!”
Li Er waved his hand, indicating for Li Mo to lie down. He smiled and said,"Calling yourself a student, I forgot that you're a scholar. Good boy, you're both good at literature and martial arts.”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am a new scholar in the eighth year of Wude.”Li Mo cupped his hands in response.
Li Er was surprised by Li Mo's natural attitude.
After all, Li Mo was from the later generation, so he was not as respectful to the powerful as the ancient people.
"Yes, you are a piece of gold. In my world, gold will naturally shine.”
Li Er's expression suddenly became serious."Can you attend the morning court tomorrow? I want you to receive the imperial court's reward personally!”
"As long as I am fed, I will definitely be able to stand in the Imperial Court.”Li Mo smiled bitterly and cupped his hands.
His stomach was now empty.
"Hahaha, as expected of my champion!”
Li Er glanced at him appreciatively and left a sentence before he left,""Inform the imperial kitchen to reward the Marquis Champion with ten catties of mutton and a jar of wine!”
The palace maid obeyed the order and left, while the imperial physician was ecstatic.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, for being conferred the title of Champion Marquis!”The old man cupped his hands in congratulations.
Li Mo, on the other hand, was at a loss.
Champion Marquis? That sounds awesome. What kind of treatment?
