Chapter 154 Liang Guogong
Li Haochen approached the room by Li Jiancheng and reported to Li Jiancheng about his trip to Yanshan. Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Li Haochen's achievements. When he said that he was suddenly in Tang and Jie Li died, Li Jiancheng was walking back and forth in the room in surprise, with an extremely excited expression.
Li Haochen knew that any king's hope could achieve the achievement of expanding territory, and Li Jiancheng was no exception. Looking at Li Jiancheng's happy expression, Li Haochen also showed a knowing smile, and the feeling of a soldier dying for his confidant was raised in his heart.
Li Jiancheng then asked the eunuch to tell the story of Tuli and his group to come to the palace to see the emperor. Tuli and his group came in and bowed to Li Jiancheng. In fact, Tuli was the Tuli Khan himself who did not have to give a big gift to Li Jiancheng, but now Tuli has already joined the Tang Dynasty, that is, the subjects of the Tang Dynasty naturally wanted to bow to Emperor Li Jiancheng.
Tuli's courtesy also showed his willingness to join the Tang Dynasty. Li Jiancheng looked at Tuli in the middle and said, "You have repeatedly invaded our Tang Dynasty and should have sent troops to suppress it, but God has the virtue of living. Today, you can repent and let the people of the world avoid a catastrophe. It is also a merit. I will no longer pursue your crimes for invading my borders. The Lecheng Hou has reported to me, which is very consistent with my wishes. I wonder if you have anything else to say?"
Tuli didn't expect that he was beaten by Li Jiancheng just after he joined Tang. He felt very uncomfortable, but I was a fisherman. Even if Tuli was dissatisfied with him now, he did not dare to show it at this moment. He quickly said, "The grace of the heavenly priest, your majesty is kind, Tuli is already very grateful and dare not ask for anything."
Tuli didn't know that his performance was exactly the same as the emperor's mind. If Tuli now wants an official position and title, he might give him very little in the end, or he might not give him anything at all. Now he is very obedient, so Li Jiancheng was in a good mood and said, "Tuli Khan knows that he will submit to my Tang Dynasty. I will definitely not treat you badly. Tuli hears the title!"
When Tu Li heard this, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately. He immediately smiled happily and bowed again, waiting for Li Jiancheng's following.
Li Jiancheng did not let Tuli wait, but after Tuli surrendered, he said, "I will grant Tuli the title of King Anle, and will be inherited from generation to generation and granted Yanzhou. From now on, my northern border will be handed over to you!"
Yanzhou is the gateway to the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. This city has extraordinary strategic significance. Li Haochen never expected that Li Jiancheng would be happy to seal Yanzhou to Tuli. If Tuli had two intentions, he could completely cut off his land and stand on his own. This was a matter of endless troubles.
Li Haochen wanted to say something, but seeing that Li Jiancheng was in a very good mood, he simply didn't say anything. Besides, the emperor was a golden word after all, and it would definitely be bad if he refuted in public. It seemed that he could only find time to persuade Li Jiancheng later. Thinking of this in his heart, Li Haochen just opened his mouth and said nothing.
Tuli naturally knew the superiority of the geographical location of the city in Yanzhou, and immediately thanked Li Jiancheng with joy. Li Haochen looked at Tuli's expression coldly and sighed in his heart, "It seems that this King of Anle of the Tang Dynasty doesn't want peace!"
Li Haochen looked at Tuli several times with a warning. Tuli seemed to understand Li Haochen's concerns, and his expression, which had just been happy, instantly calmed down.
Just when Li Haochen warned Kuli with his eyes, Li Jiancheng looked at Xue Rengui again, and then said, "General Xue, I heard that you killed Jie Li, right?" After receiving Xue Rengui's affirmative reply, Li Jiancheng spoke again, "No! Very good! The young general can make such great contributions at such an age, even if Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are not enough! He really has the style of being a father, and he will be the pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future! God loves you, and there are successors in the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty!" After sighing, Li Jiancheng said with a serious expression again, "Xue Rengui listens to the title!"
Xue Rengui quickly knelt down and said, "My little minister, you can make such a contribution all thanks to Your Majesty's protection and adoptive father's command. My little minister dare not take credit for it. He also asked Your Majesty to take back his orders. My little minister wants to learn more with your adoptive father for a few more years!"
Li Jiancheng didn't expect that Xue Rengui was so aware of advancing and retreating at such a young age. He was in a very good mood. He laughed and said, "General Xue, you don't know what I want to reward you, so why do you just worry about rejecting me?" After saying that, he paused and said, "I have appointed you as Uncle Zhongwu and are still following Hou Lecheng. When you become an adult, I will choose a house for you and let you open a mansion!"
Xue Rengui did not thank him immediately, but looked at Li Haochen. Although Li Haochen felt that it was not particularly suitable for Xue Rengui's title at such an age, Li Jiancheng had already said that he could not let Xue Rengui reject Li Jiancheng in public, so he nodded secretly.
After getting Li Haochen's nod, Xue Rengui kowtowed to Li Jiancheng and thanked him.
After Xue Rengui thanked him, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen and said, "Haochen, you have made great contributions to me this time. I want to reward you with great reward!"
Li Haochen heard this and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is as kind as a mountain. It is my duty to share your worries. Even if you have made a small contribution, it depends entirely on Your Majesty's benevolence and the soldiers' lives. I dare not take credit for it! Please take your Majesty back and make your life!"
Li Jiancheng pointed at Li Haochen and laughed, "You, you, the father and son are really similar! Do you remember that I told you before that you can only take what I give you, but you can't take what I don't give you?"
Li Haochen heard this and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty's teachings, I will always remember them, and I will never forget them for a moment!"
Listening to Li Haochen's words, Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak, "Then I will tell you another word today, that is what I reward you. You must, you cannot refuse!" After that, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen with a smile on his face.
Li Haochen knew that Li Jiancheng had a joke, but being with the king was like a tiger. Li Haochen did not dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I remember your Majesty's teachings!"
Although Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Li Haochen's careful response, he still said, "I just joked with you just now, Haochen doesn't have to take it seriously!" After saying that, Li Jiancheng paused, and his expression became a little serious and said, "Li Haochen, the Housing of Lecheng, pacified the Turks for my Tang Dynasty and made unparalleled contributions. I specially appointed Li Haochen as Duke of Liang!"
Li Haochen did not dare to refuse Li Jiancheng's words, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him. After the reward, Li Jiancheng left everyone to celebrate the dinner, which was to celebrate Li Haochen and his party for the sake of Tuli.
