Chang'an, Luo Mansion, Luo Zhang is sitting in his study room, opposite Li Yifu stands. At this moment, Li Yifu has been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. From the third rank, the promotion speed is not unpleasant.
However, compared with Luo Zhang, it is a bit slow. Just yesterday, Luo Zhang's rewards also came down. He was promoted to the second rank of Hussar General and led the Ministry of War. At the same time, he was also called to be the Duke of Yongzhen. This title is He was the first two-character Duke in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Others were conferred titles with one word. It can be said that Luo Zhang reached the pinnacle of his life in one fell swoop. He was directly promoted to the top, and his title also reached the top.
It's not that Li Shimin didn't want to suppress Luo Zhang again, he simply couldn't. Taking down Tubo and relieving the worries of Shu, coupled with the previous war, such an achievement would make others cry with joy.
But all these focused on Luo Zhang, and Li Shimin was helpless.
To be honest, if it weren't for Luo Zhang, it would be really difficult for the East Turks to win. The wooden knot he made is a powerful weapon for the country. With it, the soldiers can be saved from the risk of death in battle.
Not to mention the siege weapons and artillery, which played a great role in the battlefield of Gaogouli and almost single-handedly overturned Gaogouli.
You must know that Liaodong City is not so easy to attack. The Sui Dynasty's army and horses attacked Gaogouli three times, and twice of them were blocked by Liaodong City. It can be said that Liaodong City is the gateway to Gaogouli, blocking many peeps. The enemy of Gaogouli.
However, for such a strong city, under the bombardment of Luo Zhang's several rounds of artillery, half of the city wall was destroyed, allowing Li Jing's army to easily invade Liaodong City and capture the entire Gaoguli.
This is only the achievements on land. There are also sea ships. With the offshore ships and distant sea ships built by Luo Zhang, it can be said that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can beat them, especially when the distant sea ships come out. All of Gaogouli's fleet was crippled, and the Japanese fleet even cowered in its own island and did not dare to come out. It is not an exaggeration to say that Datang was the overlord of the sea.
As for Feng Yi, he was Li Shimin's confidant. Unexpectedly, with just a few words, Luo Zhang was able to get him to go to South Vietnam and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty for him. People were very happy, as if they were afraid that they wouldn't let him go. Li Shimin was really convinced.
It seems that no matter what kind of trouble it is, it can be solved easily in Luo Zhang's hands, and nothing can trouble him at all.
Just talk about potatoes and corn. This solved a lot of problems for him. With these things, the people of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about not having enough to eat. Some only had to worry about the food spoiling if it was too much to eat. .
Adding up all the achievements, Li Shimin couldn't suppress him no matter how hard he tried, so he simply promoted Luo Zhang to the extreme once, so that he wouldn't have to worry about it in the future.
However, the Duke, who is in his twenties, is a second-rank official. Let alone the Tang Dynasty, he is probably the first one in history.
Li Yifu sincerely admired and appreciated Luo Zhang, who was sitting in front of him. Thinking back to the time when he and Luo Zhang took the imperial examination, it seemed like yesterday. At that time, he was still proud and arrogant.
But who would have thought that Luo Zhang's amazing performance during the imperial examination shattered his pride and made him realize what it means to have someone outside the world and a world outside the world.
From that day on, Li Yifu wanted to follow Luo Zhang, and he did so. Thinking about it now, how correct this decision was. Who could be as high as him at a young age, except Luo Zhang? , the whole court was afraid.
If he hadn't followed Luo Zhang, even if he took the high school imperial examination in Li Yifu, he would probably be just a sixth- or seventh-grade county magistrate now. If he wanted to reach his current height, not only would it be very difficult, but he would also have to move back a few decades. , and it may not be able to reach its current position in a few decades.
Just when Li Yifu was distracted, Luo Zhang spoke.
"Has the news from all parties been returned?"
Luo Zhang's words brought Li Yifu back from his distraction.
He hurriedly bowed and said: "The news from all parties has been sent back. Everything is as usual in Japan. Master Liu has led an army to occupy half of Japan's territory. Mainly because there are not enough people and horses, otherwise the entire Japan should have been captured."
