Li Er also thought about how to reward Li Zexuan for a long time, but he found that Li Zexuan was not short of money and status. As for his position, this guy was lazy by nature. He was still in charge of an academy. If he arranged it again, As for other positions, it is estimated that Li Zexuan will give up his job directly.
That's why he brought this matter to the court, just to see if the ministers had any ideas.
But Li Zexuan, a rising star in the court this year, has risen at an unprecedented speed. How can the ministers think of a suitable reward?
After waiting for a long time and no one spoke, Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it anymore.
Old Cheng Hu took a step forward, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I cannot judge whether Marquis Yong'an has contributed to this cholera, but if he did not take action, our ugly cow would probably die of cholera! So! No matter how your majesty rewards the Marquis of Yong'an, I am willing to give him a hundred households of food as a gift in return!"
"Boom~!"
As soon as Cheng Yaojin said these words, all the officials in the court raised eyebrows. In this era, food not only means an iron rice bowl, but also symbolizes the glory of the family, especially for people like Cheng Yaojin who have risen to the rank of Duke. , Food and fiefdoms are particularly important. Generally, if people of their status have achieved military exploits, Li Er will not be able to upgrade them to a noble title. He will increase their food fiefdoms for them.
Therefore, for them, eating a town is military merit, and eating a town is glory! The repayment Cheng Yaojin gave Li Zexuan was indeed generous!
Of course, what Lao Cheng did was far from being as simple as it seemed. He was forcing other ministers in the court, and he was also forcing Li Er!
Li Zexuan saved my son. I have already shown my sincerity. Are you still embarrassed to be indifferent? Moreover, Li Zexuan also saved your son, Li Er. As the king of a country, don’t you, Li Er, pride yourself on being clear about rewards and punishments? If you don't show some sincerity now, how can you show your clear distinction between rewards and punishments~?
Sure enough, the expression of Li Er, who was sitting on it, changed slightly, revealing a look of deep contemplation.
Cheng Yaojin came forward, why was Yuchi Jingde too embarrassed to come forward? I saw him standing next to Cheng Yaojin without hesitation, cupping his fists at Li Er and saying: "Your Majesty, Yong'an Marquis also saved the old minister's son. The old minister is also willing to give a hundred households of food as a thank you. Please forgive me." Accurate~!"
The court gradually fell into silence, and the ministers saw the most absurd scene in history. Two princes actually asked to transfer part of their food to another person. It was really strange!
When Sun Fujia and Changsun Wuji saw this, they were about to walk out, but Li Zexuan was one step ahead of them, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Thank you Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi for their kindness, but my nephew cannot accept this gift! Yu Gong, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin are both my nephew's students. If the students are in trouble, as a teacher, I should rescue them! In private, Chumo and Baolin are both my nephew's friends. How can I stand by and watch when they are seriously ill?
Even if their disease can only be cured by the thousand-year-old snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain, I will still set foot on Tianshan Mountain to find it for them! Now that their illness is cured, how can I accept such a generous thank you gift from my two uncles? Then don’t I, Li Zexuan, become a villain who repays kindness~? "
"Haha! Okay~! What a good boy~! I, Old Cheng, really did not misjudge you! You are so loyal! It's a pity that you were born thirty years late, otherwise I, Old Cheng, would definitely have your way with you!"
As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin's broad palm fell on Li Zexuan, and then the old man's heroic laughter resounded throughout the Tai Chi Hall!
All the ministers in the palace were speechless, secretly thinking that this old guy is so shameless!
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, and after a moment he stepped forward and said, "Yong'an Hou Gaoyi! But you saved Quan Zi, I have to say thank you no matter what. If you have any needs, I will try my best to satisfy you!"
Li Zexuan curled his lips in his heart and thought to himself that this old fox is really cunning and stingy. What does it mean to "satisfy any needs as much as possible"? He had just said the big words. If he said it to Changsun Wuji now, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
"Lord Changsun, you are so polite! Your son is also my student, and it is the duty of a junior to save him!"
Li Zexuan bowed his hand to Changsun Wuji, and then said something salty.
Seeing his ministers coming and going, Li Er was a little unable to sit still. Oh, no, he must have lost his temper. After all, Li Zexuan also saved his son!
"Ahem! Okay! Li Zexuan has contributed a lot to the rapid suppression of cholera this time. This is a state matter, not a matter for a few beloved princes and their family! It should be rewarded by the court! Li Zexuan, tell me, what do you want? reward?"
Li Er, who couldn't bear to lose face, coughed twice and said in a deep voice.
Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others finally calmed down and turned their attention to Li Zexuan.
Giving rewards is a science, but asking for rewards is also a science. Moreover, the knowledge to be rewarded is undoubtedly more profound, and the appropriateness in it is difficult to grasp.
Li Zexuan pursed his lips. In fact, when he received the notice from Li Er asking him to go to the morning court yesterday, he roughly guessed what would happen in the morning court, so he had already thought about what reward he should ask Li Er for. At this moment He took a step forward, bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, the suppression of cholera cannot be attributed to me alone. Moreover, as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is my duty to do something for the Tang Dynasty! I dare not ask for reward!"
You should be humble when you should be humble. Anyway, if you are humble, the reward will not be lost? Li Zexuan likes to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger the most!
Li Er said angrily: "I want to give you a reward, and you can continue. When did you become so hesitant? Tell me quickly!"
Li Zexuan did not continue to pretend to be humble. Everything should be done in moderation. He bowed and said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. It stands to reason that whatever your Majesty rewards, I should accept."
When Li Er heard this, he frowned. He really wanted to come down and kick this smooth-tongued boy, but he heard Li Zexuan continue: "But I have something I want to ask your majesty, so I want to tell you today. I hope your majesty will be kind to you." allow!"
This kid finally returned to his true colors. Li Er said seriously: "Say it!"
Li Zexuan said: "I want to set up a medical school in Yanhuang Academy. When the time comes, I will jointly train medical students with the Imperial Medical Office. When the time is right, I plan to open medical clinics all over the Tang Dynasty to relieve the suffering of all people, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can I can afford to see a doctor and take medicine! I hope your majesty will give you permission~!"
quiet!
After Li Zexuan finished speaking, the court immediately fell into silence. No one, including Cheng Yaojin, expected that Li Zexuan would make such a strange request. Isn't he wasting an opportunity?
