The next day!
The Administrative Hall!
Li Er looked at the officials below with a smile on his face.
Ever since the incident last time, this group of people had become much more well-behaved. The officials of the aristocratic families did not look for trouble anymore. They dealt with urgent matters every day, and the morning court was peaceful.
Li Er was a little bored.
Thinking about it, he still missed the feeling of fighting wits and courage.
Li Er laughed.
"Dear ministers, today, I have something to tell you.”
"Men, bring Qu Yuanli up!”
Li Er instructed.
Soon, two eunuchs carefully carried Qu Yuan Li to the main hall.
The officials were puzzled.
They discussed softly.
They didn't know what Li Er was going to do.
"Beloved ministers, did you see that? This thing is a good thing. Therefore, I want to give the person who invented this Quyuan Plough a title of nobility.”
"Zhen, after thinking about it, I feel that the Duke is not too good.”
"So, I was thinking, what do you think of becoming a hereditary county marquis?”
"Yes, although Zhen also feels that it is a little low, but this is the first reward after all. If he is directly conferred the title of Duke, Zhen will have to give up his position in the future. Haha…"
"Alright, since no one has any objections, then it's settled.”
As he spoke, Li Er was about to get up.
" Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"No, Your Majesty, wait a moment. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!!!”
"Aiya, Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?”
“·····”
When Li Er stood up, the officials below immediately reacted and hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by just a county marquis? Hereditary? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you, you must be joking.”The Minister of Rites stepped forward hurriedly.”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Did the person you mentioned contribute anything? Just this…broken wooden plow?”Pei Ji was also stunned.
F * ck!
Previously, for the sake of the family, he had asked for a few hereditary titles for Li Er. This fellow was secretive as if he was constipated, and in the end, he had not been granted them.
Why was he suddenly so generous now?
He was the hereditary founding county marquis!
Good heavens, you're so forthright. Those who don't know better might think that you're rewarding your son.
"That's right, Your Majesty. I wonder who that person is? You have to let this old minister understand." The assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel said shakily.
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
The voice of opposition was endless.
More than half of the people in the royal court were very old. After all, the officials of Li Tang had not changed since Li Yuan started his army.
Previously, in order to exchange for the support of the aristocratic family, Li Yuan had arranged for almost all the senior fellows in the aristocratic family to be sent.
As a result, the population was aging.
They were almost buried in the ground. They dreamed of getting another hereditary title, but Li Er refused to give it to them!
Now that he was the founding county marquis, they naturally wouldn't allow it.
F * ck!
He didn't even see the person who was conferred the title.
Li Er slowly sat back down on the dragon throne amidst the dissuasive voices.
"Why not?"
"This person has helped our Great Tang conquer the world. This is a great contribution. I think that even a small county marquis isn't enough.”
Li Er narrowed his eyes.
He was here.
This group of old fellows had their own thoughts.
"Your Majesty, for Your Majesty, for the Great Tang, we old subjects have been conscientious and diligent, but we have yet to obtain a hereditary title of nobility. Your Majesty, why are you conferring such a high title to someone who has never even been in court?”
Someone shouted from below.
Immediately, it caused a series of echoes.
Zhangsun Wuji sighed.
They had long known that such a situation would definitely happen. However, they did not expect it to be so violent.
"Because your contributions are not as great as his.”
"Cough cough, I'm not saying that you guys don't have any contributions, but this Saint. Yes, the Saint's contributions are too great. I have no choice but to confer him a title.”
Li Er said.
Saint?
How the f * ck did he become a saint again?
"Then, Your Majesty, why don't you let him go to court to hear the title?”Pei Ji asked.
"Uh…"
"The key is that I can't find him.”
Li Er shrugged helplessly.
Humph!
He hadn't even acknowledged his family yet. If this group of aristocratic families interfered, this matter would be serious.
He knew very well that according to the Golden Guards 'secret agents, this group of people was looking for Li Feng.
"Back then, that Saint left this Qu Yuanli behind and left without seeking fame and fortune!”
"But I can't!"
"We must remember that a Saint descended and made dazzling achievements for the Great Tang!”
"It's fine whether he wants it or not, but I have to give it to him!”
"You should all understand this principle.”
"So, is there a problem with me announcing today that I will give him the title of Marquis of the Founding County?”
Li Er swept his gaze across this group of people. His voice was faint, but it carried an inviolable dignity.
Little guy!
Do you all really think that I can't punish you?
Humph!
There was a moment of silence.
Just as Li Er had said, he could leave without seeking the name, but as the emperor, Li Er couldn't just say that he didn't want it and not give it to him.
He couldn't take the generosity of others as the capital to ignore the achievements of others.
But then again, Li Eryang had said a lot of things.
What about achievements?
This was the most important thing.
He boasted loudly.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. However, I want to know what achievements he has made.”
"If it really benefits the country and the people, Your Majesty, of course, you can confer the title.”
"But…"
Pei Ji spoke.
"Isn't this right here?”
"Qu Yuanli, hehe, very impressive.”
Li Er walked down and stroked the Qu Yuan Li affectionately.
"Your Majesty, this is just a wooden plow. It's not worthy of a hereditary title!”Pei Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Just by relying on this wooden plow?
What a joke.
Your Majesty, are you serious?
"Haha, you will know when you see Qu Yuanli's power. Giving it to a Duke is not too much!”
"Let's go!"
"I'll bring you guys to take a look."
"It just so happens that there is a small piece of land behind the Dew Hall that is enough for a demonstration.”
"All of you widened your eyes."
"Minister of Revenue, Minister Dai, you have to see this clearly. When the time comes, Zhen will let you handle this matter.”
Li Er glanced at the Minister of Revenue, Dai Zhou, and walked back impatiently.
This group of people had eyes that were on top of their heads.
Useless?
Who dared to say that Qu Yuanli was useless!
He hoped that when he saw the demonstration, he could still speak with such certainty!!!!
