"Hey~! Am I making excuses?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, took two steps forward, and continued to say: "You said that I was arrogant, but you can tell me where my old words were so arrogant? Let's not mention Dr. Jin Ziguanglu for now. I, Old Cheng, will continue to follow you. Said Dao Zhaowu Colonel. Didn't you just say that Xiaoxuan has not made any achievements and is not worthy of the position of Zhaowu Colonel?"
"So what~? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Wei Zheng covered his mouth and nose, took two steps back, held his neck and confronted Cheng Yaojin.
"Hey~! Let's not talk about military achievements, let's talk about martial arts~! Xiaoxuan just broke through yesterday and became the youngest martial arts grandmaster in the Tang Dynasty! I know you definitely don't know what a martial arts master is, let me tell you this! Among the military generals of the Tang Dynasty, there are only fifteen martial arts masters, and these fifteen are all battlefield veterans who have led armies alone in battles!"
"Xiao Xuan broke through to the Grandmaster realm at a young age. Do you know what this means to me, the Tang Dynasty? It means that even if one day we veterans can no longer ride a horse or hold a sword or a gun, I There are still people in the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty who can lead the army across the battlefield and protect this land!"
"Heroes are no matter their age. Our military generals have always spoken with their strength. Among our older generation of generals, there are only a handful of generals who can defeat Xiaoxuan in terms of force. Not to mention just a Zhaowu captain, Xiaoxuan If he is willing to join the army, when I, Old Cheng, go north to fight the Turks, I will definitely give him a vanguard officer!"
Cheng Yaojin had long wanted to lure Li Zexuan into the military camp. Today Li Er gave such a good opportunity, how could he not seize it and cherish it? This old guy seemed to be possessed by a god at the moment. Although his tone of voice was a bit harsh, his words were reasonable and well-founded, and he was not arrogant.
After he finished speaking, people in the military camp all turned their attention to Li Zexuan. Some were shocked, some were stunned, and some were envious. No one would have thought that there would be such a young martial arts master in the world, and others had trained so hard. After several decades, one may not be able to reach the level of Grandmaster, but this boy who is less than fifteen years old in front of him... This is really ironic~!
"Okay~! It's a good thing to know~! Your Majesty, I think Li Zexuan's character is absolutely outstanding in terms of character and martial arts, and he is fully worthy of the honorary title of Zhaowu Colonel. Now many of our generals in the Tang Dynasty are like veterans, and gradually As we get older, if the Tang Dynasty wants to remain prosperous, it must start cultivating a group of outstanding young people! Only in this way can we avoid the shortage of talents in the army!"
Qin Qiong did not advise Cheng Yaojin not to act reckless this time. Instead, he stood up and supported Cheng Yaojin's point of view.
"The old minister also agrees that such young heroes must have a place in my camp of military generals of the Tang Dynasty~!"
Yuchi Jingde was moved by Qin Qiong's words and stood up to second his opinion.
"The veteran also seconded the proposal~!"
Niu Jinda came out and said with cupped hands.
"The veteran also agrees that the men in Li County are both civil and military, and should set an example for the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had been unknown in the court for who knows how long, actually took the initiative to speak out today, and it was to support a young man, which really shocked many people.
As a heavyweight in the Tang Dynasty military, Li Jing's statement was of great significance. It represented that the Datang military group headed by Li Jing was willing to accept talents like Li Zexuan.
The other generals with low emotional intelligence also woke up at this time: Today Li Er is not only trying to confer an official title to Li Zexuan, but also wants to test whether the military is willing to accept Li Zexuan, a newcomer!
Li Er’s seemingly absurd reward has a profound meaning!
So the military generals immediately bowed down to Li Er in large numbers, and heard them loudly say: "I second my opinion~!"
Li Er sat above him and nodded secretly with pleasure. What he did today was an impromptu move last night. In line with the principle of making the best use of people, naturally, as much as Li Zexuan has skills, he, as the emperor, must use them. How much!
Back then, when Li Er first learned that Li Zexuan was a disciple of Zhenren Lingxu, he had thought of putting Li Zexuan in the army for training, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Li Zexuan's knowledge was as profound as his martial arts accumulation. Secondly, he was first sent to the Imperial College to teach and educate people. Unexpectedly, he also made many academic achievements.
Yesterday, I heard that Li Zexuan had broken through the Grand Master at a young age. Li Er couldn't help but think of his original intention at the beginning. In addition, what Qin Qiong said was indeed reasonable. The military of the Tang Dynasty was indeed approaching the point of being inexhaustible. Looking at the situation of all the generals, In the next generation, there are only a few promising people, and the rest are mostly unlearned and unskilled people who wander around the flower alleys, and there is no one who can compare with Li Zexuan.
The most important thing is that Li Zexuan has always had a good relationship with the military, and it is relatively easy for him to integrate into it.
So the most bizarre complex of contradictions in the history of the Tang Dynasty came into being: holding both civil and military titles, and also holding a title that could not be distinguished from civil or military. It was really weird!
The boundaries between civil and military affairs are becoming increasingly blurred for Li Zexuan at this moment.
Li Er also wanted to give Li Zexuan a higher-level military honors position. However, as Wei Zheng said, Li Zexuan had never done any military service, so it would be great to be given a military honors title.
But fortunately, the offer he gave was not high, because it was just a sixth-grade martial artist. Wei Zheng made a big fuss. If the grade was higher, wouldn't Wei Zheng dare to demolish the Tai Chi Palace?
"In that case, it's settled! Li Zexuan, I and several ministers have high hopes for you. You must work hard in the future and set a good example for the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty. You must not be lazy as usual. I understand. ~?”
Li Er made the final decision and said in a deep voice.
But when these words were heard by the ministers, they all felt strange. Why did it sound like the elders were lecturing the younger ones? Could it be that His Majesty has something to do with this child?
Some old otakus who usually like to gossip couldn't help but cast their eyes on the faces of Li Zexuan and Li Er, and the fire of gossip was burning in their hearts.
"Ah~? Your Majesty, I haven't... um, I'd like to thank you for your grace! Thank you for your teaching~!"
Li Zexuan was dumbfounded. Mom was selling batches. This group of people discussed it over and over, but they never asked him for his opinion. What kind of thing is this? He actually didn't want to receive this military honors title. As the saying goes, it's easy to get in but hard to get out. Although the rank of Colonel Zhaowu is low, the meaning it represents is not low at all!
Once he accepts it, he will be labeled as a military commander. When the time comes to fight, someone will definitely think of him. Li Er's move was really destructive. Li Zexuan felt like he was being screwed. He was about to say that I didn't agree yet, but Li Er glanced at him with a sharp, razor-sharp look. Li Zexuan immediately changed his words, because from that look, I saw a lot of danger.
Grandma, if a hero doesn’t suffer the immediate consequences, let’s continue first!
