Chapter 1099 1100 [Promoted to a higher position]

According to the historical records of this world, Pei Yue's Duke of Wei was a high-ranking title in ancient times, ranking higher than the title of Duke of Wei that Wang Pingzhang originally received. This is enough to show that the new king attaches great importance to him.

What's more important is that although Pei Yue's merits are not significant, at his age, he can be awarded the title of first-class Duke, which is naturally unprecedented and is very likely to be unprecedented.

Under the envious and awed gazes of the whole hall, Pei Yue calmly walked out of class, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Pei Yue, thanks you for your kindness."

Liu Xian looked at Pei Yue's figure with excitement. He knew that the reason why he could sit on the throne was his father's choice, but Pei Yue's support could not be ignored. Looking back on the twists and turns and storms he had experienced in the past, he was reduced from the throne of prince to assistant.

The general of the country came back again by taking advantage of the opportunity of marriage and marriage with the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The ups and downs along the way were all related to the young dignitaries below.

He was very aware of the gap between himself and Emperor Kaiping, but watching in silence over the years had not been fruitful. At least in some aspects, he did not want to fall into the same predicament that his father once faced.

Therefore, he said with emotion: "The late emperor once said that Pei Qing deserved to be rewarded for his hard work, and I think so too. Looking back at those years, Pei Qing went to the mountains with the Beijing camp to suppress bandits at the age of dancing spoons, and later

He also fought in the western border, traveled back and forth between the north and south, and led the soldiers of the Western Army to defeat the Wu army, beheading more than 100,000 people. After this battle, the national power of Western Wu was greatly damaged, and it was no longer able to invade the border for several years."

The hall was very quiet, with only the new monarch's voice echoing.

"Last year, Pei Qing was sent as an envoy to the Southern Dynasty to welcome his bride. When the opponent planned a surprise attack, he saw the opportunity and was able to take advantage of the danger. Not only did he protect Jiangling City on the south bank of the Tiancang River, but he also led his cavalry to defeat the Southern Dynasty army and captured Hanyang City.

This move thwarted the Southern Dynasty's conspiracy, expanded our country's territory, and obtained 20 million taels of silver through subsequent peace talks, greatly filling the national treasury."

Liu Xian's tone became higher and higher, and all the ministers were awe-inspiring. Only Guangping Hou Guliang, who stood at the head of Wu Xun's class, secretly sighed in his heart.

At that time, Emperor Kaiping recalled Pei Yue to Kyoto and asked Han Gongduan to take over the peace talks. Obviously, he did not want Pei Yue to take too much credit. Now, the new emperor has changed his story as if unintentionally. This is not necessarily a good thing.

Liu Xian continued: "The traitor Wang Pingzhang colluded with the barbarians in the wilderness to invade the northern border. It was Pei Qing who led the soldiers from the Beijing camp thousands of miles away and went deep into the wilderness to annihilate the barbarian army. After Wang Ni's rebellion, Pei Qing also worked tirelessly.

I trudged across mountains and rivers to rush back to Kyoto and rescued King Qin. I don’t want to deny the contribution of others. I just want to tell the princes in the court that I uphold the late emperor’s will and canonize Pei Yue as the Duke of Wei. It is reasonable, reasonable and appropriate!”

This is the difference between Liu Xian and Emperor Kaiping.

The latter will not explain too much when issuing any decree. The ministers only need to accept and obey, and at most they will give a few words to the important ministers of the two governments.

But Liu Xian was different. Even if no one raised any questions, he still made it clear why he made Pei Yue the Duke of the country. Such a move was in line with his age. After all, not every emperor is as young and mature as Emperor Kaiping. And in

After he narrated Pei Yue's deeds, the jealousy towards Pei Yue in the hearts of the officials involuntarily subsided a lot.

Based on Pei Yue's achievements over the years, if Emperor Kaiping had not deliberately suppressed him, he would have been eligible to be crowned a Duke after defeating the Southern Zhou army last year.

Being in the center of attention of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and feeling the eager gaze of the young emperor on the throne, Pei Yue felt calm and unruffled. He slightly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am so complimentary. I am a white man. Fortunately, the late emperor

respect,

I simply pulled the minister out of the wilderness. Everything your Majesty said is the duty that the minister should perform. In addition, with the trust of the late emperor and the sacrifice of life by all the soldiers, he can achieve some meager achievements. I really can't do it.

Dare to talk nonsense about heavenly power."

It's not that he underestimated Liu Xian, but that city government and skills must be acquired through experience. It is impossible for a person to suddenly become outstanding in strategy in a few days. The reason why he is so cautious is because of Mo Haoli's two sentences before.

Secretly point out that today's court meeting is not that simple.

Now it seems that Liu Xian worked so hard to create a layer of golden light on his body, perhaps in order to weaken his authority next.

However, Liu Xian said gently: "Pei Qing, there is no need to be too modest. I know your character and abilities well. After Wang Ni's rebellion, the capital camp was in turmoil and urgently needed stability. Therefore, Ai Qing should stay as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army's North Camp."

This sentence surprised the courtier a little.

According to the rules of Daliang for nearly a hundred years, Wu Xun was not allowed to directly lead troops after he was granted the title of Duke. Because his title was too high, he could easily escape the jurisdiction of the Xifu and gradually turn his soldiers into his own private soldiers. Pei Yue's situation was even more special.

Not only was he the Duke of the country and in charge of the North Camp, but the military commander Zuo Junji of the West Prefecture was Guliang Hou Guliang of Guangping who treated him like his own son.

In other words, how confident is it that whether it is Xiao Jin, the right-wing military commander, or the new Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, they can overwhelm the distinguished Duke Wei?

However, this article was not explicitly written into the ancestral system. In addition, Liu Xian had previously laid out Pei Yue's achievements, and most of the courtiers did not have the courage or reason to stand up and oppose it.

Mo Haoli, the leader on the left, remained unmoved, while Luo Ting, the leader on the right, and Han Gongduan, the leader on the right, looked at Pei Yue in unison.

They all noticed the details in the emperor's words and did not impose any restrictions on Pei Yue's appointment.

In other words, Pei Yue will continue to be in charge of the Beijing Army's North Camp as Wei Guogong for a long time.

Pei Yue's mind was spinning and he responded calmly: "I obey your order."

However, the reward for him was not over yet. Liu Xian added: "When a man goes to war on the battlefield, what he wants is to make a great contribution to his wife and make him a son. Therefore, I have another gift for Duke Wei. Now there are two people in Aiqing's mansion."

Mrs. Pinhou

, since they are the royal family, they are now naturally the wives of the first-class duchess. As far as I know, Aiqing also has two concubines. The late emperor once decreed that one of them was a seventh-class concubine, so I added the title of Aiqing's two concubines.

The concubine's room is of the fifth grade and pleasant."

Pei Yue moved slightly and saluted: "I thank your Majesty for your grace!"

Many courtiers could not help but change their expressions slightly.

They all know the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Pei Yue, and they are also very clear about Pei Yue's contribution when he was fighting for the throne. Now it seems that His Majesty wants to repay as much as possible, and at the same time let the people of the world see clearly his love for the meritorious officials.

favor.

But this is too generous. Will the cats and dogs in Pei Yue's mansion be rewarded next?

However, Liu Xian's size was just right. From a seventh-grade Ruren to a fifth-grade Yiren, it is not an exaggeration. There are countless similar concubines in Kyoto. In addition, even the title of Duke of the Kingdom and the position of Beiying coach were taken by Pei Yue.

Now if you try to seduce this hot dignitary with two middle-level orders, wouldn't you be asking for more trouble than you gain?

Pei Yue's face remained calm, but he gradually came back to his senses.

Mo Haoli's hint made him think in the wrong direction. Liu Xian did not want to take the opportunity to weaken his authority, but instead tried his best to reward him with favors and favors.

The veteran of the Four Dynasties was well aware of Pei Yue's cautiousness, and he would definitely not accept these rewards easily if he did not say hello in advance.

But what Mo Haoli didn't know was that the reason why Pei Yue had no objection from beginning to end was not because his words had any effect, but because Pei Yue wanted to go deeper.

Liu Xian's performance today was well-founded. He first listed his merits and deserved the rightful place, and then rewarded him and his family members one after another. Moreover, every favor was neither too light nor too heavy, and he controlled the intensity of the gifts extremely well.

Regardless of whether he did this sincerely or for other reasons, the skill displayed in this matter should not be Liu Xian's current skill.

The third volume of "Lun Shu" that was appreciated by Concubine Wu in Jingren Palace came to Pei Yue's mind, and he suddenly understood.

It seems that today's continuous rewards were ordered by the current Empress Dowager Wu, and Liu Xian was just following the script.

Pei Yue chuckled silently, this Queen Mother was really unexpected.
