Official Worship as Chang An Marquis, Li Er Giving Three Mirrors
Looking at the officials below the stage, Li Shiming nodded,
"We also believe that Minister Fang's suggestion is the most reasonable reward. If it weren't for Li Feng's timely appearance, if he hadn't recklessly killed the Jie Li Khagan, our Great Tang would have been trampled under the feet of the Turks.”
"Duke of Qi, I heard that Li Feng is your relative. Your Zhangsun Clan has also produced an extraordinary talent. Congratulations.”
"This subject is terrified! Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"
Zhangsun Wuji quickly walked out and bowed to Li Shiming.
However, who knew the bitterness in Zhangsun Wuji's heart?
Li Shi Min looked at Li Feng and said,
"Since none of you have any objections, then Li Feng will be conferred the title of Defender General and Marquis of Chang An. He will be rewarded with a mansion and ten thousand taels of gold!”
Defender General!
Marquis Chang An!
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the entire court was shocked.
Even Li Jing and the other two were stunned.
They had thought that Li Feng would only need to be given the title of Inner Pass Marquis, but they hadn't expected Li Shi Min to be so direct, even giving him the title of Everpeace Marquis.
One must know that Chang 'an was the imperial capital, so the Marquis of Chang' an would naturally rise with the tide.
"This subject has received the decree!"
Hearing Li Shi Min's reward, Li Feng strode out of the formation and replied loudly.
Behind Li Feng, the officials were also jealous.
After all, they had worked hard for so many years, but they were only standing at the back of Taiji Palace.
Li Feng was only twenty years old, but he had already become the Defender General and the Marquis of Chang An. It could be said that he had reached the heavens in one step.
Even Li Feng himself was stunned when he heard Li Shiming's reward.
"Li Feng, do you know why you were conferred the title of Everpeace Marquis?”
Li Shi Min looked at Li Feng who was neither servile nor overbearing and asked with a smile.
"It seems that His Majesty wants me to train a new army for His Majesty, and I will be the commander of this new army.”
Li Feng replied without thinking.
Hiss…
The officials behind Li Feng couldn't help but gasp.
He did not expect Li Feng to be so bold as to guess the Saint's intentions.
One had to know that if Li Feng guessed wrongly, the Sage would most likely punish him.
Even Zhangsun Wuji was worried for Li Feng.
As Li Shiming's brother-in-law, he had never heard of Li Shiming preparing to form a new army.
However, Li Shi Min, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was obviously interested when he heard Li Feng's words.
Li Shi Min asked curiously,"
"Li Feng, then tell me why I asked you to train the new army.”
"First of all, from the Turkic invasion, it can be seen that the northern defense line of our Great Tang is not strong enough. This is a fatal weakness.
Second, although the Turks have been defeated, our Great Tang has suffered a great loss of money and food because of the Turks 'invasion.
Most importantly, our Great Tang is currently short of money and food, and there are many things we need to do. Thus, this army can only be strong with fewer people, and I'm good at defeating many with fewer people.”
……
Because it was June and July, the morning in Chang 'an was still a little hot.
In Zhangsun Wuji's residence, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Feng with a helpless expression.
On the table between them was a yellow scroll with dragon patterns. It was the imperial edict.
After the court session, Li Shiming had a eunuch send the imperial edict to Zhangsun Wuji's residence.
The imperial edict even arrived before Li Feng and Zhangsun Wuji.
"Little Feng, you scared me to death today. I was afraid that if you said anything wrong, His Majesty would pull you out and kill you.”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Feng and said with lingering fear.
"Uncle Sun, it's not like that. No matter what, His Majesty is a wise ruler of a generation. Even if I really said something wrong, His Majesty won't make things difficult for me.”
Li Feng looked at the worried Zhangsun Wuji and said in a warm and helpless manner.
"What a wise ruler. I didn't expect my Everpeace Marquis to have such a high evaluation of me. Could it be that he's complimenting me because of the reward I gave him?”
Just as Zhangsun Wuji and Li Feng were chatting, a bold voice interrupted.
Hearing the voice, their expressions changed.
They were familiar with this voice. Just an hour ago, the two of them had heard this voice speak.
Zhangsun Wuji quickly pulled Li Feng and bowed to Li Shiming.
"Alright, this isn't the Imperial Court. Wuji, Li Feng, there's no need for you to bow.”
As he spoke, Li Shiming stepped forward to help Zhangsun Wuji and the others up.
Li Feng, don't say these flattering words to me again in the future. As the saying goes, with copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes and hats. Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall of the country; Take people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses. I still hope that you can always reflect on yourself so that you won't make any big mistakes.
Li Shi Min looked at Li Feng's tender face and couldn't help but start to educate him.
Zhangsun Wuji was also very happy to see Li Shiming educate Li Feng.
This meant that Li Feng still had a place in Li Shiming's heart.
However, this was hard for Li Feng, who was a bad student. He could only listen to Li Shiming's teachings seriously, and occasionally nodded twice to show that he was listening carefully.
