Situ Mingyue and his ministers were actually concerned about the current situation in Northern Luzon, which was thousands of mountains and rivers away from the center of the empire. Before this Luzon incident, many ministers even didn't even know the specific location of Luzon. The Northwest County was already remote enough, and Luzon was still west of the Northwest County, so it was indeed difficult to understand its actual situation.

Situ Mingyue nodded slightly, as if she had accepted Wufeng's statement. No matter what, after all, sending troops to protect the people of his own nation, winning reputation for his country, and gaining the empire's reputation. This is a glorious page that has never been seen in the history of the empire in the past one or two hundred years. Even if he is a hundred years later, he will be enough to boast about his descendants. However, he must also have this guy, and he cannot be arrogant because of his favor. Otherwise, if there is a similar situation, he may be a real threat to the empire's imperial power to his Situ lineage.

"My dear friends, Li Aiqing has reported on the situation of sending troops to Luzon just now. What do you think?" Although Situ Mingyue had accepted Wufeng's explanation in her heart, there was no change in expression on the surface.

"Father, I think Lord Li is in that situation at that time, and sending troops without the approval of the empire was a helpless move, not to mention that he has won such a huge reputation for the empire. I think Lord Li should be rewarded or punished." Situ Biao, the sixth prince who was listed, has been proud recently, and his words are concise and powerful.

Situ Mingyue snorted softly in her nose, without saying a word, and her eyes turned to other ministers: "What about your opinions?"

After coughing gently, a thin old man stood up. It was Tian Yi, the imperial finance minister. He smiled and stepped out calmly and said: "Report to Your Majesty, I think that Lord Li sent troops to foreign countries without the approval of the Central Committee of the Empire. According to the court's laws and regulations, he should be punished. However, since the incident suddenly occurs, it is necessary to make a quick decision. Lord Li's move is also an emergency, but this trend cannot be long and should be strictly prohibited. Therefore, I think Lord Li Wufeng can say that his merits and demerits are offset."

Tian Yi is worthy of being a traitor and slim man. No one can match Situ Mingyue's thoughts. After saying this, Situ Mingyue nodded slightly. The other ministers were not tactful and agreed with Tian Yi's words.

"Well, since you all have such opinions, I also feel that although this is a helpless act, I must not indulge it. But if I think you are dedicated to the country, I will pardon you for your mistakes this time. But the merit of expanding the border will be exempted. Li Aiqing, do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I thank you for your grace." Wufeng pretended to be grateful and tears.

"Since this matter has passed, I will not pursue it anymore. I and my beloved ministers are very unfamiliar with Northern Luzon. I want to hear you talk about what Northern Luzon is now? What is it like? What is it different from my empire?" Situ Mingyue looked very interested.

"Your Majesty, although the Northern Luzon is far away from the imperial capital and is very remote, it is also a rich place. It is sparsely populated and backward in economy, but it is far inferior to the land of the empire." Wu Feng was secretly happy to see that Situ Mingyue had transferred his interest to the newly obtained land of Northern Luzon, "I have a few items to present to Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Situ Mingyue was very interested, "Support it to me and see, what a rare thing it is?"

Wufeng immediately asked the messenger at the entrance of the hall to go out to pick up two boxes that had been prepared and sent to the hall. After being inspected by the guards in front of the hall, he presented the imperial case of Situ Mingyue. The two boxes were one big and one small, the small one was a jade box, and the large one was about one meter, which was a rectangular wooden box.

Situ Mingyue happily lifted the lid of the jade box, and the bamboo shoots looked like something that caught my eye. However, the bamboo shoots were very light in color, with a slightly golden white strip, which was not an ordinary product at first glance. What's even more amazing is that there seemed to be a layer of faint smoke on this thing, which did not dissipate for a long time. Situ Mingyue looked at it for a while, but didn't know what it was, so she asked the attendants to show the ministers with this item.

Seeing that many ministers had seen this object and talked a lot, but no one could tell the name of this object exactly. Situ Mingyue was a little surprised, "You are all knowledgeable, don't you know this object?"

The ministers argued for a long time but still couldn't explain the reason. However, the Minister of Agricultural Affairs Qin Yuedong hesitated for a while and stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister looks at this object, which is somewhat like the bamboo shoots written in "Shan Hai Yi Jing", but I have never seen the real thing, I have only seen pictures in the book."

"Oh? What kind of rare thing is this bamboo shoot?" Situ Mingyue asked with interest.

"There is a book in "Shan Hai Yi" that says: 'There are great zodiacs in the continent, which are thousands of miles in a radius, and clouds and fogs that never dissipate all year round. The deep mud produces strange things, which are like bamboo shoots, with a light color in the first color, and are golden in a hundred years later, which is called Tianjian bamboo shoots.' I think it may be referring to this thing." Qin Yuedong shook his head and memorized the article and explained.

"What's so strange about this thing?" Situ Mingyue asked with a smile. Since it is an item written in "Shan Hai Yi Jing", it must be an ordinary thing.

"It is said that this bamboo shoot is a gift from heaven. It is a strange thing that can be encountered and cannot be found. In the vast marsh, clouds and mist are surrounded by mist, and the fallen leaves are also sinking in the mud. The old minister has never heard of anyone having obtained this thing. It is rumored that ordinary people can gain wisdom, boost spirit, and have the effect of rejuvenating old age and returning to children. It is by no means comparable to ordinary supplements. After taking it, people with weak bodies can strengthen their essence, strengthen marrow, replenish qi and increase their vitality, and eliminate the disease." Qin Yuedong wrote one by one the knowledge he learned.

"Is this true? Li Aiqing, is this thing a bamboo shoot?" Situ Mingyue turned her gaze to Wufeng.

"Mr. Qin is indeed very knowledgeable. This thing is the Tianzhao. It is offered by the ethnic minorities living around the green sea swamp. For decades, I have only obtained this branch. I offer it to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a healthy dragon body and a long life." Wufeng pretended to be surprised, which made Qin Yuedong feel proud, and then answered respectfully.

"Well, I'll get your feelings after all." Situ Mingyue's face turned cloudy and sunny, and her mood improved significantly.

"What are these?" He opened the cover of the large wooden box again, and inside it was a picture, a book, and a dark crutch-like thing.

"Report to Your Majesty, these three items are the most important gifts brought back by the Wei Me, and are formal gifts to Your Majesty. They are far more valuable than the previous bamboo shoots." Wu Feng kept a secret.

"Oh?" Situ Mingyue and a group of ministers were both surprised. The preciousness of the bamboo shoots just now was known to everyone, but they were still supporting roles. But these three items are what treasures, and they can afford such praise?

Situ Mingyue picked up the dark crutch and looked carefully. She could not see any strangeness. Just as she was about to ask, Wufeng had already stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this item is called a scepter. It was carefully carved by the leaders of the Northern Luzon people, the specialty of the Northern Luzon people, the black bone tree, which was carefully carved by the black bone tree, which symbolizes the imperial power, that is, the sovereignty of the empire over the Northern Luzon; and the book is a letter of loyalty signed by the representatives of more than 2 million people of all ethnic groups in Northern Luzon and the armistice agreement reached with the Grand Duchy of Luzon, indicating that the people of all ethnic groups in Northern Luzon will always be loyal to the empire and the transfer procedures for sovereignty. As for that picture, it is the schematic diagram of the mountains and rivers of Northern Luzon, symbolizing that the Northern Luzon will belong to our Tanghe Empire from then on."

Wufeng's words immediately caused a huge wave in the hall. Although Situ Mingyue and the ministers also estimated that Wufeng would definitely gain huge benefits when he sent troops to occupy Northern Luzon, they did not expect that in just two months, Wufeng could actually bring all the land and more than two million people living on it under the rule of the empire, and even signed an agreement with the Grand Duchy of Luzon. This was really unacceptable!

I felt a burst of blood surge from my face. His Majesty, who had always been gloomy, couldn't help but stand up, and his face flushed, as if he was even breathing urgently, "Okay, okay, okay! Li Aiqing, I am very pleased that you have made such a great contribution. Li Aiqing has expanded the territory of our empire, and made great contributions. The local people have surrendered, and the people are determined. I want to reward the meritorious personnel. My dear, what do you think?"

His Highness's ministers were also shocked. Although it was expected that Northern Luzon was occupied, it was a miracle to win the support and surrender of all local people in just two months! On the other precedents of occupation, it is sometimes more difficult to gain the hearts of local residents than to occupy. Which place has not been subject to the surrender of the occupied areas through years or even decades of ruling and management, and even the repeated riots in the occupied areas are not new, and this problem has been solved in front of Li Wufeng.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so excited, there were naturally people who understood the gods to cater to him. The imperial business minister Zeng Guohong made a list and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Li has worked hard and made such great contributions to the empire. I think I should be promoted to Lord Li as a commendation."

"Yes, Lord Li is still a marquis. I also think that Lord Li should be promoted to Duke. Please tell me." Another person who came out to agree was Wei Zhongxing, the imperial minister of culture, education and health. Since Wufeng successfully established a relationship with him in the northwest universities, the two quickly and closely related. Wufeng also sent people to send various local specialties in the northwest from time to time, which made the attitude of the old man in the court who had been linked through Guqi obviously tended to Wufeng.

Situ Mingyue nodded slightly. The promotion to Duke was just a trivial matter. He was about to issue an order when another figure stood up, "Langer, what else do you have?" The ninth prince Situ Lang was listed.

"My son thinks it is natural to promote Lord Li to the title of official position. Now that Northern Luzon has been included in the jurisdiction of the empire, it can be regarded as an administrative area of ​​the empire. However, the newly established Northern Luzon has complex external forces and many local ethnic minorities. What's more, it is far away from the central area of ​​the empire and is separated by the Great Hengduan Mountains, which are difficult to cross in the middle. It is only connected with Lord Li's northwest territory. Therefore, Mr. Mr. Li thinks that it is the top priority to clarify the status of Northern Luzon and determine the main administrative officials." Situ Lang, who was full of spirit, said confidently.

"Well, very good, Langer's words are reasonable. Then, according to you, what should we do with Northern Luzon?" Situ Mingyue was in a relaxed mood and smiled.

"My son thinks that the situation around the Northern Luzon has not yet been completely clear. We do not need to rush to turn the Northern Luzon into an ordinary administrative area of ​​the empire. This may intensify the hostility that already exists in this area. It can temporarily be designated as a special area and then make a conclusion after the situation stabilizes in a few years. As for the candidates who shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Northern Luzon region, it is naturally decided by your father. However, Mr. Lang thinks that the geographical location of the Northern Luzon is too biased, and our Tang people are not strong, so we must strengthen military control. Lord Li should be the best candidate, please make a clear decision." Situ Lang's face was full of smiles.

"My dear friends, what do you think?" Situ Mingyue asked calmly.

"The old minister thinks what Your Highness Ninth said is very true. The Empire's reputation spreads far and wide, and Lord Li makes an indelible contribution. Moreover, the Northern Luzon is a special location. If you want to ensure a smooth transition, Lord Li should be the best candidate to bear the heavy responsibility of the Northern Luzon region. Please give your majesty a clear guide." The imperial finance minister Tian Yi promoted the fire.

Seeing this, some other ministers also agreed with their opinions. Who would like to pour cold water on the Emperor's excitement? What's more, Li Wufeng is at the peak of his life now, and he can't win if he curry favor with him.

"Well, Lang'er and all your beloved friends have a deep meaning in my heart, Li Wufeng!"

"I'm here!" Wufeng had already pointed to the ground on one knee.

"I have appointed you as Duke Baisheng and also serve as the governor of the Northern Luzon region. I hope you will not let me down and guard the border for me!" Situ Mingyue said solemnly.
