"Your Majesty, I have a memorial."

No one expected that Li Linfu suddenly stood up.

He first glanced at Guo Ziyi, then looked at Prince Wuyang, then looked at Zhang Jiuling and others, as well as the nine Jiedu governors present.

After glanced around like this, he turned to face the emperor, bowed respectfully, and slowly began to memorial:

"Your Majesty, I think Guo Ziyi's military position cannot be granted."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone looked like this indeed.

However, Li Linfu seemed not to realize it, but his face became extremely serious and said loudly: "No matter how much Your Majesty admires Guo Ziyi, some inherent rules cannot be broken. For example, the upper limit of the military position given by the top scholar in the martial arts department!"

"According to the previous years of the Tang Dynasty, the top scholar of the martial arts was generally granted the Zhechong Duwei. This position was to be in charge of all matters in the local Zhechong Prefecture. The rank may be too high, but it has real power. However, for the people of Guizhou, this is already an promotion to the sky."

"But today, because His Majesty admires Guo Ziyi, he directly gave him the title of general. So when the martial arts department is opened in the future, how should those martial arts top scholars be awarded?"

"The things in the world are not worried about the lack of things, but about the unevenness. If you are not vigilant, it will be the beginning of a chaotic world..."

"Your Majesty may be displeased with my memorial, and even my colleagues present think that I am avenging my personal revenge. After all, everyone knows that I have a grudge with Guo Ziyi!"

"It was me who once sent him to death, and he killed me's son at the festival of Lanterns. So according to common sense, I must be the prime minister, the prime minister, must always stare at him. Once I find an opportunity, I will definitely step on it."

"But, I dare to swear that I have never given up on my mind this time. No matter how Your Majesty views me, or how my colleagues misunderstand me, in short, my humble heart is like the bright moon, and I am really thinking about the stability of the Tang Dynasty."

It is worthy of being a sweet-mouthed sword, and his language skills are really amazing.

In fact, everyone knew that Li Linfu had private messages, but he could not blame him because he had a full argument.

In the past, the selection of martial arts subjects in the Tang Dynasty did have inherent rules, and there was indeed a strict upper limit on the award of martial arts top scholars.

The highest position cannot exceed the Zhechong Duwei.

On the contrary, in terms of grade rank, there is a little elasticity. The reason is that Zhechong Mansion is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The Zhechong Mansion's rank is different in grade rank. For example, Zhechong Mansion's rank can reach the fourth rank.

The Zhechong Duwei of the Central Palace was ranked below the fourth rank.

The rank of the Zechong Duwei of Xiafu is even lower, and he can only be a fifth-grade or even a fifth-grade person.

He is also a Zhechong Duwei, and his rank is several levels apart, but no matter what, the highest position of the top martial arts scholar is Zhechong Duwei.

If the emperor appreciates the top martial arts scholar in a certain martial arts science, and the civil and military officials in the court are willing to show their friendship, then this top martial arts scholar will be awarded the Zhechong Duwei of the Shangfu, and his official position is the fourth rank and is a quick promotion that is rising to the top.

A slightly more serious martial arts top scholar may be arranged to be the Zhechong Duwei of the Central Government, and his official position was from the fourth rank and he still rose to prominence.

The worst-paid martial arts top scholar will inevitably be arranged to guard the lower-level Zhechong Mansion, with only a fifth-rank rank, and even worse than the deputy of the upper-level Zhechong Mansion.

It can be seen that since ancient times, popularity has been the key.

Someone appreciates and no one helps is a world of difference, which is destined to be a different life, and the future will inevitably be a different height.

...

After Li Linfu issued the memorial, he thought that the argument would be successful, so he spoke very confidently and said again: "I have seen it today. Your Majesty appreciates Guo Ziyi very much, but I have just submitted the memorial that the rules of martial arts cannot be destroyed."

"Otherwise, if you start a martial arts department in the future, how can you place the selected martial arts top scholars? Once those martial arts top scholars compete with Guo Ziyi, will His Majesty all be named generals?"

The old thief stopped and suddenly said a little gentle, "However, even so, Guo Ziyi is appreciated by Your Majesty after all, and Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Your appreciation must be considered. Therefore, after careful consideration, the empress thinks that Guo Ziyi can be given a special treatment."

From beginning to end, the emperor remained silent until now, and he slowly spoke, as if he was a little curious, "What treatment are you going to give to Guo Ziyi?"

Li Linfu was obviously confident and immediately smiled and said, "The Zhechong Duwei of the Supreme Mansion is positioned as the fourth rank. This is a rank that can enter the court and is definitely a high-end one. Your Majesty, I suggest you be loyal."

The emperor did not make a statement, but instead looked at Guo Ziyi and joked deliberately: "Did you hear Guo Ziyi? Li Aiqing is willing to help you get a fourth-rank official. Let you take charge of a top-level Zhechong Mansion, and from then on, they will be a real power faction that has risen to the top."

Guo Ziyi pretended not to understand, grabbed her forehead and asked, "Which official position is bigger than the general?"

The emperor laughed, as if he was amused by Guo Ziyi, but secretly conducted popular science and deliberately explained: "The general is in charge of the first guard, and the rank rank is at least a third rank. But if it is an elite guard, the rank rank can be promoted to the third rank."

Guo Ziyi was suddenly 'fury', looked at Li Linfu fiercely, and cursed directly: "You old Zamao is not at ease. Your Majesty has a general, and his official position is the third rank. But you asked me to be the lieutenant of Zhechong, and his official position is only the fourth rank. Male, believe it or not, I will beat your sons to death..."

He cursed so hard that Li Linfu actually spitted himself in his face and said righteously: "The rules cannot be broken."

"Go to the damn rules!" Guo Ziyi's eyes were fierce and she clenched her fists with both hands.

However, Li Linfu was not afraid at all. Instead, he turned around and looked at the emperor again, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please accept advice. The clear heart of the nickname is like the bright moon in the sky."

But the emperor suddenly laughed and slowly stood up from the chair, and then he didn't look at Li Linfu.

The emperor looked directly at Guo Ziyi and said in a deep voice: "Guo Ziyi, come forward and listen to the seal."

Guo Ziyi's heart moved and cooperated with one knee to bow down.

The emperor said in a firm tone and almost word by word: "This time, the position of top scholar in the Tang Dynasty's martial arts department has been decided. I personally chose Guo Ziyi to guard the five prefectures of Shandong South Road, and his official title is General Langya."

After the emperor said this, his eyes quickly looked at Li Guangbi and Pugu Huaien. He hesitated for a moment, and then said in a stern voice: "Pugu Huaien, click to be the second-level martial arts, Li Guangbi, click to be the Tanhualang. Both of them were appointed as the commander of Zhechong, and assisted Guo Ziyi in the area of ​​Zhechong Mansion."

Finally, he looked at the Shandong man and said slowly: "Although you are the fourth place, you are also benefiting from Guo Ziyi's fourth place. Otherwise, with your ability, you may not be able to enter the top five. I will also be named Zhe Chong Duwei and let you hang out with Guo Ziyi, how about it?"

The man grinned and smiled silly, nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm so happy, but I don't know what rank you are giving. I want to ask clearly and tell my mother home."

The emperor laughed and said, "You three Zhechong Commanders, all of you are in charge of one Shangfu. If the five residences on Shandong South Road are not Shangfu, then I will immediately upgrade them to the level. How about it, are you happier?"

The man couldn't help but say, "The Zhechong Commander of the House, am I also a fourth-rank official?"

The emperor nodded and said solemnly: "The fourth rank."

In just a moment, three fourth-rank Zhechong Commanders were granted, and the most important thing was that Guo Ziyi, the general, directly had the power to take charge of the five prefectures of Shandong South Road.

All the ministers present were stunned.

It was not until this time that the emperor finally looked at Li Linfu and said slowly: "Li Aiqing, have you seen it? Although your memorial just now is very good, I, the emperor, can choose not to accept advice."

Your memorial is very good.

But I chose not to accept it.

A slap in the face!

Really slap in the face!

At this moment, everyone could see that the emperor was clearly slapping Li Linfu in the face.

Gu Feng

Li Linfu was almost frozen on the spot, and his whole body seemed to be in a nightmare. Suddenly, his face was pale and a very bad thought arose in his heart.

The emperor acted so recklessly and directly violated the rules of martial arts. If it was inferred according to common sense, it could be understood that the emperor was stupid because of his old age... But if he thought about it carefully, would there be other reasons?

For example, although the emperor was still the foolish emperor, this foolish emperor no longer favored him as a treacherous minister.

Does Your Majesty have a new favorite?

At this moment, Li Linfu was very panicked...

He suddenly realized that no matter how stupid the emperor has been in recent years, one thing is certain that the emperor still has power in his hands.

As the prime minister, he seemed to be in power in the court, but in fact all his power came from the emperor.

Once the emperor no longer favors him, the power in his hands will be lost rapidly.

...

Li Linfu was panicked and couldn't help but want to explain to the emperor, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry today..."

But the emperor waved his hand and directly interrupted him: "Military position has been granted and official position has been granted. I am a little tired now and need to go back to the palace to rest. If Li Aiqing has something to say, keep it in the morning court in the future."

Gao Lishi, who was serving the emperor, took advantage of the situation and shouted, "Your Majesty will return to the palace, and all officials will give you gifts."

The officials present quickly stood up and saluted to the emperor.

Suddenly the emperor turned his head and glanced at everyone present, and smiled and said, "I have a happy event that I need to tell you. Not long ago, I accepted another imperial concubine, her surname is Yang, and she is very beautiful. She is good at singing and dancing, and she is deeply loved by me..."

All the ministers were stunned and congratulated each other one after another.

The emperor seemed to be relieved and suddenly said, "What makes me happiest is that the concubine's family is very good. For example, she has a younger brother, Yang Guozhong, who is a talented person. She is especially good at government affairs and can hold important positions."

All the ministers were moved slightly, and they vaguely guessed that the emperor had some more details.

Sure enough, the emperor smiled again and said, "As long as he is a talent, I will promote him without any restrictions. In the past, Yang Guozhong was just a county magistrate in a small county, and his rank was only a seventh rank, but now he has my appreciation, so he naturally cannot be so low-ranking..."

"So, I decided to remove him into the court and serve as the chief censor."

Damn it!

Almost all the officials present roared in their hearts.

A small county magistrate belongs to the level of Gou Buli, but as soon as the emperor issued the oral order, he was directly promoted to a fourth-rank censor.

This is even more ridiculous than being named General Guo Ziyi.

Although it is unreasonable for Guo Ziyi to be appointed as a general, it is a violation of the conventional rules of martial arts in previous years, Guo Ziyi is extremely powerful after all, and it is considered a reason to be appointed as a general.

But the younger brother of this new concubine, Yang Guozhong, was just a county magistrate in a small county. What he called his talent was probably because the emperor was blown by the pillow.

With a pillow style, the little county lieutenant became a fourth-rank boss.

The ministers were speechless.

Only Li Linfu felt cold in his heart. He vaguely felt the threat of this matter, as if the emperor was coming for him.

But at this moment, the emperor actually looked at him and asked with a smile: "Li Aiqing, are you still opposed this time? I have appointed General Guo Ziyi, and you stand up and comment to oppose it. You are all clear and you are all for the Tang Dynasty. Then I have now appointed another official, and it is also a rapid promotion that breaks the rules. I want to ask, are you still opposed?"

Li Linfu's face turned pale.
