You must know that being recognized by Heaven as a decorated general can be regarded as the highest praise for a general. It depends on whether he serves under Emperor Wuji or not.

But as long as their names can be heard from the mouth of Bai Yuqi, a living god, it is already equivalent to the absolute approval of heaven.

But Bai Yuqi, the Wuji Emperor, refused to say anything about life and death. He only vaguely revealed that in the lower world, the fate of those who have achieved success and fame should not be too low... which means: don't worry, everyone has a chance!

It made Li Shimin's generals feel itchy and couldn't help but feel itchy at the root of their teeth. What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?

This is just like a person who is capable may not be an official.

No matter how high your destiny is, you must be able to get a job in the upper world in order to be recognized by heaven.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like those strangers with unappreciated talents, who can only drink to drown their sorrows in self-pity, and no one will appreciate what they have learned?

"Your Majesty, it is a great blessing for me, the Tang Dynasty, that Shu Bao can get this opportunity to serve as a general under the emperor's throne!"

"In the early period, the old minister and Shu Bao served as ministers in the same palace under the emperor, so they could take care of each other and serve as pioneers for the Tang Dynasty!"

Qu Tutong, who seemed to be looking younger and younger with such little skill, and who seemed to be only forty or fifty years old, said cheerfully: "You can't let the ancestors of the upper world look down upon you!"

The kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were stunned when Qu Tutong said, right?

In this upper realm, it's impossible that only the Tang Dynasty's military exploits are qualified to ascend, right?

There are so many famous emperors and virtuous ministers and generals in the past dynasties. According to the standards stated by Emperor Wuji, the ruthless people at the founding of the country must be qualified to ascend to the upper world. In other words, among the heavens in this upper world, they are definitely the best.

A place where all the heroes gather!

As a new dynasty that changed the world, the Tang Dynasty had far less accumulation than the previous dynasty. After its ascension, its power in the upper world was bound to be the weakest.

But now that the Tang Dynasty has the care of Emperor Wuji, as the prince of Emperor Ziwei, the "Four Palaces and Twenty-Eight Guards" under his command will not be empty shells, right?

There are ready-made heavenly soldiers and generals under his command, so what is the use of setting up a team of "four palaces and twenty-eight guards" in this lower realm after he descended to earth?

It couldn't be that he was planning to use it to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and kill Li Shimin, right?

If Emperor Wuji really wants to do something that dares to change the appearance of heaven and earth, will he need to reorganize the heavenly generals? He can burn the entire Taiji Palace to the ground by himself, right?

As a result, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty came back to their senses.

Emperor Wuji helped the Tang Dynasty to recruit virtuous ministers and generals who were qualified to ascend to the upper world and trained under him in advance.

Once the cultivation is successful and a certain organizational structure is formed, and when His Majesty the Imperial Dao ascends to the upper realm in a few years, wouldn't it be possible to directly lead a group of Lingcheng who came from the Tang Dynasty and the heavenly generals to conquer all heavens and all realms?

Once they figured this out, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty looked at Bai Yuqi in the wrong way.

Those fiery eyes made Bai Yuqi confused. What are you looking at? Why don't you want to come under the master's seat and become a spiritual minister?

"Emperor?"

After Qu Tutong awakened the emperor and his ministers of the Tang Dynasty, he cheerfully asked Bai Yuqi for advice: "I wonder how many days I have left to live?"

"It can be as long as half a month, or as short as seven days."

"After your Yang life is over, your mortal body will undergo seven days of spiritual transformation and completely transform into an innate spiritual body!"

After Bai Yuqi used [Appraisal Technique] to explore his physical condition, he gave a deadline: "By the time you are here, you will no longer have anything to do with mortals!"

"in this way……"

Qu Tutong suddenly turned his head and said to his two sons, Qu Tushou, "Why don't you hurry up and arrange my funeral?"

Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan are actually quite young.

But when his old father scolded him, he could only listen to him honestly.

But when they heard Qu Tutong's request, the two of them couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Aren't they still dead? Should we have a funeral now?

"Why can't I have funeral arrangements while I'm still alive? Isn't it about time I died?"

"I have to lie down while you guys are eating and drinking outside. Is it considered a funeral while you eat and I watch?"

"Hurry up! Not only do we have to do it, we have to do it in a big way! Don't even think about saving money! I have to spend all the money I have earned before I die, and leave the savings to you unfilial sons to squander it!"

Qu Tutong blew his beard and glared: "Go! Book the Dingzu Building for me! I'm going to have a big banquet for guests, and invite friends from the court to have a banquet! Then go and invite all the best opera troupes...

"

Qu Tu Shou, Qu Tu Quan and other children of the Qu Tu family broke out in cold sweat after being lectured by the old man Qu Tu.

Seeing that the old man's words were getting more and more outrageous, he was about to invite the young lady. A group of filial sons and grandsons of the Qutu family quickly agreed, but the emperor was still there.

The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were present couldn't help but look at each other in awe. They had never encountered the situation of holding a funeral for a living person.

But the problem is that since Qu Tutong signed the [Guardian Spirit] contract, his body has actually begun to transform into spiritual matter.

This can be seen from the faint white light that always glows on his body, so theoretically speaking, he can no longer be regarded as a living person.

Old man Qutu has reached the age where he can do what he wants without breaking the rules. Before he died, he wanted to personally attend his own funeral, eat, drink and enjoy it. It was not too much.

Li Shimin was also a little bit dumbfounded, and simply ordered: "Confess Jiang Guogong as Shangshu Zuopushe, grant him access to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, give gifts to Sikong, and order the Ministry of Rites to handle posthumous matters..."

Shangshu Zuopushe is equivalent to the position of prime minister.

At this time, the reward is almost equivalent to a half-level promotion before the veteran cadre retires.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple is a place where the emperor's ancestors and previous emperors are worshipped. Only the emperor's ancestors can enjoy this honor.

If a minister who has made great contributions to the country can enjoy the incense from the Ancestral Temple after his death, he will be buried with a lavish funeral as expected by a county king. This reward is not a small reward.

However, it is estimated that the officials of the Ministry of Rites who received the emperor's order also looked confused.

They were holding a funeral for Jiang Guogong, but Jiang Guogong himself was hosting a banquet for guests at the Dingchu Tower in Daluotian City.

Now that they have completed the process and dug the hole, do they have to ask the old man to come over and visit the site in person to inspect and see if they are satisfied?

The two big bosses, Bai Yuqi and Li Shimin, naturally would not be an eyesore at the scene, disturbing old man Qu Tu's farewell party with his relatives and friends before his "death".

Therefore, after Li Shimin presided over the succession of Qu Tutong's eldest son Qu Tushou to the title of Duke of Jiang, he also gave the Qu Tu family a large amount of grain and cloth as a "compassion" and returned to the palace.

Bai Yuqi was quite curious about the scene when the ancients had a banquet for guests. I wonder if they would invite a large number of ragged ladies to join in the fun or something?
