"In that case, then listen to what I have to say."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes, then looked at Xue Li: "Xue Li received the seal..."
"The villain is here."
Xue Lizhi handed over his hands and stepped out.
"I designate you as General Xuanwei!"
Li Shimin then said: "I hope you can make great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and for me!"
Hearing this, Xue Li was also stunned.
He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually give him such a high official position.
For a newcomer who has just arrived, this is not only a great courtesy but also a source of great pressure.
After all, who can be convinced by giving such a high rank to a person without any merit?
Therefore, he needs to use his own ability to fill this favor and courtesy.
If he can't fill it in, he will be the biggest joke.
But before he could thank him, Yu Zhining, who had been silent all this time, stood up.
He looked straight at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
After hearing what he said, Li Shimin turned to look at Yu Zhining and said, "Master Yu, what do you think is wrong?"
Yu Zhining said righteously: "Your Majesty, although Xue Li is powerful, his qualifications are still young."
"Therefore, I believe that he is not capable of taking on this important responsibility!"
You know, General Xuanwei is an official of the fourth rank, and it is also a military position.
It is definitely against the rules for Li Shimin to canonize a person without any meritorious service.
Therefore, Yu Zhining said: "At the very least, we should wait until he has made meritorious service to the court before awarding him a reward..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was a little unhappy.
Is what I have said so easily refuted?
Why is anyone willing to come out and criticize themselves?
"This is a decision I made long ago."
Li Shimin looked directly at Yu Zhining and said, "Do you want me to break my promise?"
"My lord, I never meant that."
"It's just that I feel that the civil and military are members of the same family, and your Majesty cannot favor one over the other."
"This year's new No. 1 scholar in science and technology, His Majesty just gave him the position of Secretary-General."
"But now, as soon as Wu Zhuangyuan emerges, His Majesty will directly reward his general with a title. This is not in line with common sense, let alone etiquette."
Yu Zhining also directly argued, without giving Li Shimin any face.
Li Shimin was also very angry and was about to get angry immediately.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong."
"This year Wu Zhuangyuan has just started Enke, and Xue Li is not just Wu Zhuangyuan."
Changsun Wuji looked directly at Yu Zhining and said: "In the final analysis, liberal arts is just one subject, but this year's martial arts subjects are two general subjects."
"Now Xue Li has won two top prizes in one fell swoop."
"If we really talk about it, making him a fourth-rank general is already an insult. How can it be contrary to common sense and etiquette?"
After all, it was Changsun Wuji.
Not only would he stand up to defend Li Shimin at critical moments, but he would also hit the point directly.
yes.
If Xue Li wins the first prize in only one subject, and he is awarded the title of fourth-grade general, that is Li Shimin's problem.
But Xue Li of the Ren family won the top prize in two subjects at once.
So, what else do you have to say?
Li Shimin also nodded secretly to Changsun Wuji, and then said: "Master Changsun is right."
“Although liberal arts and martial arts are from the same family, they belong to different systems.”
"And martial arts is more difficult than liberal arts."
"After all, while the martial arts department examines martial arts, it also examines literary skills."
"It can be seen that Xue Li deserves the title of fourth-grade general."
"So, who has any opinions on this matter?"
When he finished speaking, Li Shimin glanced at everyone with his stern eyes.
Li Shimin has already said this, who dares to stand up and say more?
Doesn’t that make it clear that you are going against him, Li Shimin...
Everyone also worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!"
And then, it comes to the stage where the reward is as high as the line.
You know, Li Shimin had promised before that if Gao Zhixing could win, he would marry Li Tingxue to him.
Now, Gao Zhixing is also looking at Li Shimin expectantly.
And Li Shimin did not disappoint him.
He said straightly: "General Gao, I promised you that if you defeat Xue Li, I will marry Princess Hanyang to you."
"Now, although you have not won, you have not lost either."
"So, my promise still works."
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "I will personally arrange the dowry for Princess Hanyang soon and choose a day to marry you two!"
After hearing this, Gao Zhixing quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shimin to thank him.
How many years?
How many years have you been waiting?
Now, I finally got what I wanted.
Looking at Gao Zhixing's appearance, Li Chengqian also shook his head and smiled.
This guy seems like a fool...
…
After the end of the dynasty.
Li Chengqian, Gao Zhixing and Xue Li walked side by side.
At this moment, Gao Zhixing was about to come out of the excitement with Li Tingxue.
He said quietly: "You asked me to do it on purpose just now, right?"
It was clear that he was talking to Xue Li.
Hearing this, Xue Li laughed dryly and said: "General Gao is overthinking. You are so brave, how can I defeat you? How can I let you down?"
"hehe."
"Don't think I'm a fool."
"That shot just now made my arm numb and my back sore."
"But your kid didn't even move half a step. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Gao Zhixing took a deep breath and said, "I can accept losing, but I can't accept others letting me down."
As he said that, he suddenly stopped and looked at Xue Li and said, "So, we have to fight again!"
"Hit me!"
Just when Gao Zhixing was confronting Xue Li, Li Chengqian suddenly spoke.
He walked straight towards Gao Zhixing and said, "I'm talking about your kid. Is your kid sick?"
"Everyone is happy now. Isn't it good enough that both of us are doing well?"
"Is the outcome between you two so important?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "How about I go and ask my father to overturn my sister's betrothal order to you?"
Originally, Gao Zhixing still wanted to get along with Li Chengqian for a while.
But after hearing the second half of Li Chengqian's words, Gao Zhixing immediately softened.
He smiled dryly at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, don't be like this, I was joking with him."
"joke?"
"I think you're not kidding."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "You were very serious about what you just said. It looks like you won't let anyone leave without knowing the winner."
"I can tell you, Gao Zhixing, you got a big deal today."
"After all, not everyone is worthy of marrying my sister, Li Chengqian..."
Li Chengqian approached Gao Zhixing and said, "If I hear it, you are not sorry for my sister in the slightest..."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused.
Then, his voice became much lower, and his tone sounded a little lonely: "I will never let you go..."
After saying this, Li Chengqian took the lead and walked away without caring about the expressions of these two guys.
The remaining two people looked at Li Chengqian's back for a long time.
It wasn't until Li Chengqian disappeared that the two of them came back to their senses.
The two couldn't help but look at each other, and Xue Li sighed softly.
He shook his head and said: "Sometimes, winning or losing is really not that important..."
