This reward surprised all the ministers in the study. The emperor was so generous. It would be nice to allow Song Wei to ask for Li Jing's promotion. Adding a rank from the third-rank Jinwu General was a great honor. He even added the third-rank champion general. Although the scattered rank of the imperial court is no longer valuable, local vassal commanders often add the positions of the Jinwu General, the general of the army, even the general, and even the second-rank of Shizhong, the Zhongshu Ling and other second-rank positions, but those vassal commanders are the leader of the town. Although Li Jing made a lot of contributions, he really said that at this time last year, Li Jing was just a farmer. In a year, he was promoted to the third-rank, which is really the so-called one step to heaven.

What's more, he was even given the title of Marquis of Zhendong. The title actually skipped the baron, viscount, and the title of Earl and was directly awarded the title of Marquis. Although this marquis was a third-rank county marquis, the title was Zhendong, not the name of the county, which was the only one. What's more, although the Tang Dynasty treated his subordinates very generously and had a meritorious minister and could be granted the title of King of the other surnames, these titles had a real title in the early days, and now there were basically no food titles. The emperor not only gave Li Jing a marquis, but also gave a thousand households a real title, which was even more amazing.

Even Tian Lingzi was a little jealous and jealous. He started as a small eunuch who was a small Mafang envoy. He followed Li Yan in his early years. With this, he was able to control the government step by step, become the general of the left guard, the lieutenant of the Shence Army, and the envoy of the Privy Council. He was called Afu by the emperor and had to be named Duke of Jin. Li Jing had such a relaxed desire to get a Marquis of Zhendong, which really made him feel a little savage.

"Li Jing is such a powerful general. I want to transfer him to Chang'an, and his Zhendong Army will also transfer him to the capital together, and follow me!" Yu Bushi was shocking and never stopping. Li Yan is now like an excited child. He thought about Li Jing in his heart, but he ignored everything else, as if he was a child, he wanted to give Li Jing a portion of his good things.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The most shocking thing was Tian Lingzi. He was now in charge of the government affairs, except for the emperor and his relatives and calling him Ah Father. The main reason was that he controlled the military power. In the late Tang Dynasty, there were four nobles in the capital.

These four nobles do not refer to four people, but the four most powerful official positions. These four official positions are the Lieutenant of the Right Shence Army and the Envoy of the Right Privy Council.

The Lieutenant of the Shence Army was in charge of the 150,000 Shence Imperial Guards in the capital, and it was said that the central government of the imperial court was in his hands. The Privy Council envoy had a very high status, second only to the prime minister. The eunuchs were always served by eunuchs, and their original power was to act as a role between the prime minister and the emperor, in charge of military affairs. However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs of the Privy Council envoy interfered in the government affairs and even manipulated the abolition of the monarch.

After all, the most important thing for Tian Lingzi to be in charge of the government was that he held two important positions among the four nobles, one hand was torn to the sky. At this time, there was only one Shen Ce Army left in the Southern Ya and Northern Ya of the Tang Dynasty, and the others were all in name only, and they became some empty positions with additional positions. There were no troops at all. The Twelve Guards and Northern Ya were all left with only the Shen Ce Army.

Now that the emperor suddenly wants Li Jing to enter the capital, Tian Lingzi doesn't care, but if Li Jing is asked to come with the newly established Zhendong Army, Tian Lingzi can't help it. Although the Shence Army has 150,000, it has long been decayed and has no combat power at all. But the Zhendong Army is different. Just think about what Song Wei reported to him, Li Jing defeated Qingzhou's Yamen with 5,000, beheaded more than 8,000 prisoners.

Qingzhou Yabingtian Lingzi also knew that it was a very capable army. At that time, Ziqing Town had been in power for more than 60 years and was once the most powerful vassal in the world. Qingzhou Yabing was even the elite. Li Jing could even defeat the elite troops like Qingzhou Yabing. It is conceivable that this was a tiger and wolf army.

This emperor Li Yan is also a man who is tired of the new and old. Li Jing is only in his early twenties and is not much older than the emperor. If Li Jing brought a 25,000-strong army into the capital, it is conceivable that maybe it won't take long, the emperor's father would have no place.

As soon as he thought of this, Tian Lingzi could no longer sit still and jumped up and said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to transfer Li Jing to Beijing!"

Li Yan was excited and said unhappy when he heard Tian Lingzi's words: "Father, what's wrong with it!"

Tian Lingzi's eyes turned, and he thought, "Although Qingzhou has been taken down, the reversible king Jingwu has not been eliminated. Now he has taken the remaining troops to occupy the two prefectures of Zibo and Qi. Song Wei led his troops to attack before, but he suffered a small loss. Now the two armies are confronting each other. If this continues, the two prefectures of Zibo and Qi will be decayed and the people will suffer. The old slave thinks that at this time, Zibo is in urgent need of a powerful general like Li Jing to work hard."

"Didn't Li Jing defeat Wang Jingwu and beheaded eight thousand? Why has the rebellion of Wang Jingwu not yet subsided?" Li Yan seemed to have just remembered it.

Yu Cong quickly explained: "Li Jing led his troops to regain Qingzhou. After the Zishui defeated the rebels, he led his troops back to Dengzhou because he heard that Wang Jingwu's brother Wang Jingwen and Wang Jin led the Dengzhou Navy to rebel. Song Wei led his troops to pursue Wang Jingwu, but he was ambushed by the rebels in Zishui, which damaged many of his troops. Now the rebels are retreating to Zishui, and Song Wei is siegeing the city, but the rebels are fierce and difficult to get out for a while, so he asked the court for reinforcements."

Li Yan frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is Song Wei, a general, not as good as Li Jing, a general under his command?"

"Song Wei is still good, but he is old. I heard that he was injured in the rebellion. When he was chasing, he was in the rear army and the front army was not careful, so he was imprisoned." Prime Minister Lu Xie had a very good relationship with Song Wei, so he hurriedly spoke for Song Wei.

Tian Lingzi took the opportunity to say, "This Dengzhou is an important port and maritime trade route in the northern part of our Tang Dynasty. If the rebels in trouble Dengzhou, it would be a huge loss. General Li Jing returned to Dengzhou and did a good job. At this time, it is not advisable to transfer Li Jing and Zhendong Army into the capital." After a pause, Tian Lingzi seemed to remember something and said, "I heard that a few days ago that Dengzhou has not been peaceful recently. First, the Great Xie Fort Army envoy Feng Zhang colluded with Duli Town in Liaodong to attack Dengzhou. Now the Dengzhou navy is in chaos. At this time, Li Jing, a loyal general who is loyal to the country, is needed to guard the country. In addition, I heard that Li Jing had led his troops to Liaodong to fight several battles and regained two cities and hundreds of thousands of people."

"Your Majesty, it has been more than a hundred years since the Anshi Rebellion, although the land of Liaodong was called Tang, it has been lost long ago. The three towns in Hebei have been repeatedly, and the land route between Liaodong and Liaodong has long been lost. At present, the Bohai Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom are no longer as strong as before. Now General Li Jing sent troops to Liaodong to regain the two states for the court. This is a great opportunity for the court to regain Liaodong. The territory captured by our ancestors is responsible for our descendants to defend the territory. The old slave believes that an excellent general like Li Jing should continue to guard Dengzhou. First, it can quell the Dengzhou Rebellion, and second, it can protect the northern maritime business roads. Third, it can also allow Li Jing to find a way to regain Liaodong."

Tian Lingzi replied: "Your Majesty, I think the court can rebuild the Andong Protectorate Mansion, and I am willing to recommend Li Jing as Andong Protectorate."

In order to prevent Li Jing from entering Beijing, Tian Lingzi had a lot of brains. He also knew that the emperor was like Li Jing at the moment, and if he was forced to stop at this time, the effect might be counterproductive. He threw out the reconstruction of the Andong Protectorate, not that he really wanted to recover Liaodong, but that he could send Li Jing far away. The mixed races in Liaodong were already a chaotic place. Especially since the Bohai Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom were weakened one after another, while the Khitan and the Xi people began to become stronger, Liaodong became even more chaotic, and it was simply a place of melee between various races. The situation in southern Liaoning was better, but the northwards, the situation became more chaotic. Although Li Jing has seized two major cities in southern Liaoning, Tian Lingzi knew very well that if Li Jing really wanted to recover Liaodong, not to mention anything else, just one Duli Town would be enough for him.

What's more, although Bohai and other countries are weak, in fact, Liaodong has always been under the name of the Tang Dynasty and is under the actual half-control of the Bohai Kingdom. Li Jing is fine if he really makes the name of Andong Protectorate, he is afraid that neither Bohai Kingdom nor the Khitan, which is eyeing Liaodong, will not make Li Jing have a good life.

Liaodong is a mud. If Li Jing stepped in with one foot and wanted to pull it out again, it would not be so easy.

Li Yan didn't understand Tian Lingzi's 100% bends. He had been picked up by Tian Lingzi's regaining Liaodong and was responsible for defending the territory. The thirteen-year-old emperor was in his youth and energy. After thinking about it, he agreed to Tian Lingzi's words.

In his opinion, the powerful Tubo, Nanzhao, and Uighurs are now completely beaten by the Tang Dynasty, so what is the small Liaodong?

"Okay, then rebuild the Andong Protectorate, grant Li Jing the Andong Protectorate, and let Li Jing Zhendong recover Liaodong and Liaoxi. After General Li Jing recovers Liaodong, I will then transfer him and Zhendong Army to the capital!" Li Yan issued an order.

A light flashed in Tian Lingzi's eyes, and he didn't expect that the emperor would still want to transfer Li Jing to Beijing. Humph, since that's the case, Li Jing would never think about entering Beijing.

The other prime ministers had their own thoughts, but no one raised any objections. First, they knew that one mountain would not allow two tigers. If they agreed to let Li Jing enter Beijing, it would be offending Tian Lingzi. Second, several prime ministers really didn't think there was any problem with regaining Liaodong. They felt that if Li Jing could really regain Liaodong, it would be a major political achievement in their prime minister's tenure.
