Chapter 749 Chapter 768: Emperor Master Li Hao
Li Zhi glanced at all the civil and military ministers in the hall, and asked, "Do you have any suggestions on how to reward the ministers who have made great contributions to the war against Tubo?"

All the officials were silent, no one was willing to take this issue, at this moment, Li Hao suddenly took out a memorial from his pocket, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"Oh?" Li Zhi smiled when he heard the words, and said happily, "It turns out that Poetry Maniac has already prepared it, and presented it for me to see."

Xu You submitted Li Hao's memorabilia, Li Zhi unfolded it, and nodded while watching, obviously quite satisfied with Li Hao's reward, but the officials were all upset, Li Hao himself Can you make yourself suffer by offering a reward? It's really over now.

After Li Zhi finished reading, Li Zhi glanced down with a smile, and said: "Well, the reward proposed by Poet Kuang is generally feasible, but I have two doubts."

Li Hao clasped his hands and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty what are the two doubts?"

Li Zhidao: "First, why is there no reward from you in this memorial?"

Li Hao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, a doctor cannot heal himself. It would be biased and criticized by others to ask the ministers to reward themselves. Naturally, the rewards of the ministers should be proposed by Your Majesty and all civil and military officials."

"Well, that's reasonable." Li Zhi nodded, and asked again, "There is another doubt. You didn't use much food and grass for the conquest of Tubo this time. Why is it that Di Renjie's reward is so high, that he is the same as Zhongshu?"

Di Renjie at the bottom was taken aback when he heard the words, did he make peace with Zhong Shumen?That was the prime minister, he felt that Li Hao was crazy, he was only 21 years old, and even he himself felt inappropriate to let him be a prime minister.

The ministers also thought the same way. They all thought that Li Hao was crazy. He appointed a 21-year-old young man as prime minister, and Di Renjie only supervised the transportation of food and grass in the rear. How much credit could this be?
Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used. The most important thing in marching and fighting is the food and grass. How can it be considered that the credit is not big?"

Li Zhi still shook his head: "This explanation is too far-fetched, and I still think it's inappropriate. Let's press Di Renjie's visit to the Prime Minister for now. Xu You, please listen to the other awards and rewards, and you will discuss the details together."

Although Li Hao was a little disappointed when he heard the words, he also knew that he was a little impatient. Di Renjie was too young and did not have enough qualifications, and this time Di Renjie's contribution was indeed not great enough, at least not to the extent that he could worship the prime minister. Disappointment is disappointment, but he But it can be seen that Li Zhi is still very fair, and he has not messed up in terms of employment.

Xu You picked up Li Hao's memorabilia and began to read: "Fan Lihua was promoted to the county magistrate of Lantian, with [-] households in the city of food, awarded honors to Zhuguo, appointed as the second-rank general of Fuguo, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, and fine porcelain. One hundred, ten good horses..."

When they heard Fan Lihua's reward, all the officials exclaimed inwardly, Fan Lihua's reward was too high, and she was directly made a Duke. Although she was only a county prince, she was also a Duke. The honor jumped directly to Zhu Kingdom, The rank of General Fuguo, who has reached the second rank, has risen in a straight line, jumping several levels, but those who are interested find that Fan Lihua's award is actually empty, because there is no change in the position, and titles and titles are all there. rise.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi said that Li Hao's reward proposal is feasible. The conquest of Tubo was basically led by Fan Lihua, who made a lot of contributions and was not under Li Hao. He conferred the title without changing his position It is completely feasible to raise these things substantially.

Fan Lihua was the one who received the highest award in the memorial, so the first one to read, followed by awards from Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi, Di Renjie, Peng Hai, and others. I raised the civil and military titles, and rewarded some gold, silver and cloth, and that's all.

After reading the reward memorial, Li Zhi asked, "Do you have any objections to Li Hao's proposal for reward?"

All the ministers remained silent, and the officials of Zhongshu Province headed by Ma Zhou replied one after another: "I have no objection." Then other ministers also said that they had no objection.

Li Zhi was very happy, and continued: "Then let's talk about Li Hao's reward. Although the conquest of Tubo failed this time, it annihilated 18 Tubo troops and forced them to abandon the capital and flee. A great victory has been won, and Li Hao, as the chief officer of the march, has contributed a lot to making suggestions, and this merit must be rewarded, Zhu Qing, tell me, how should Li Hao be rewarded?"

Everyone, look at me, let me see, how can I reward, I feel that there is no way to reward, Li Hao's military service has come to an end, the title, he is already the king of the county, should he be crowned king directly?Or Feng Sanshi?That would be the best.

Li Zhi waited for a long time, but no one spoke, so he didn't feel annoyed, and said with a smile: "Since no one has suggested it, then let me raise it."

Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat. No one knew that Li Zhi had an unusual relationship with Li Hao. If he offered a reward to Li Hao, it would definitely be the end of the game.

Sure enough, Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Li Hao was originally the prince and Taifu, and now he is the Taifu in Jin Dynasty. He has the title of emperor teacher, and he is the third rank of Jintong Zhongshu sect!"

"Your Majesty! No!" Yu Zhining stepped out decisively after hearing the words, and said loudly, "The position of the Three Dukes and Three Masters is the highest in the court, how can it be given so easily!"

Among the official positions in the Tang Dynasty, except for the general of Tiance Mansion, the three gongs and three divisions are the highest. The three gongs are: Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong; the three divisions are: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. These six positions are the first rank. , The existence in the legend is never easy to seal people. Now in the court, only Changsun Wuji has sealed Situ alone. It can be seen how powerful the Three Dukes and Three Masters are. Li Zhi now wants to seal Li Hao as Taifu, no wonder Yu Zhining would object.

Li Zhi smiled lightly, and said: "Yu Qing is worrying too much, is it easy for me to seal him? How much credit has Li Hao made for the Tang Dynasty in the past ten years? How many strategies have been made to strengthen the country? Can't Yu Qing see it? Now, Zhu Qing told me, who in the palace can stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Hao, I am afraid that the elder grandson Situ is not as good as him."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhining was speechless, and those who were planning to second the proposal suddenly flinched. Yes, Li Hao has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years. At the beginning, because Li Hao was young, they suppressed him. Li Hao, Li Hao is not young now, he is over [-], and Li Hao is now in full swing, how can they suppress him, Li Zhi's last sentence is the most hurtful, even the eldest grandson Situ can't compare with it , How can anyone belittle people like this.

Li Zhi just wanted to belittle the eldest grandson Wuji so that he could have a long memory. In fact, he was very worried about the failure of the conquest of Tubo. Wuji scolded him face to face, but seeing that he was his uncle and he was vomiting blood from anger, he could only let him go.

Li Hao's award this time is definitely the biggest among all the people, directly ranked among the three masters, and he was also awarded the title of Emperor Master. This title sounds awesome, and it cannot be conferred by anyone who is not a great Confucian or a master of Taoism. As for the third rank under Tong Zhongshu's sect, that is the prime minister. Li Hao was originally under Tong Zhongshu's sect, that is, he had the right to participate in political affairs. The waiter has reached a level, and he can get a foot in the affairs of Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng.

Li Zhi glanced at the audience, and said slowly: "It seems that Zhu Qing has no objection to Li Hao's reward. If so, let the Ministry of Zhongshu draw up an order to reward all the meritorious officials this time."

All the ministers sighed secretly when they heard the words. They thought that Changsun Wuji could hold Li Hao down this time, but they never expected that after Li Hao returned to Chang'an, he actually played a big reversal. It hurts them to think about it, but they can't help it. Their small arms can't twist their thighs. Without their eldest grandson Wuji, they can't beat Li Hao at all, and the emperor is obviously partial to Li Hao. make them depressed.

The court meeting was over, and all the ministers lined up and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall. Li Hao walked in the front of the team in high spirits. Finally, after 17 years, he finally climbed to the top of the pyramid and stood on the beam of the court hall to overlook All the ministers, it feels really good to be able to flex our muscles in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Looking at the Tai Chi Square under the scorching sun, with the gentle spring breeze blowing, Li Hao felt relaxed and happy. He suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and raised his head slowly, enjoying the gaze and the spring breeze. look at him.

After a while, no Li Hao moved, Di Renjie walked slowly to Li Hao's side, and asked softly, "Li... Mrs. Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Hao suddenly opened his eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, smiled slightly, slowly opened his arms, and said leisurely: "Zhongxing Datang, who else can I have!"
