Chapter 135: Rewards for meritorious deeds
"Li Linfu will never rebel. This matter has ended here, so you must not continue to discuss it." Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Guozhong was not disappointed, because he could hear that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was already suspicious of Li Linfu. Although he was just suspicious, once he had doubts, no matter how trusted he had, he would no longer trust in the future.
Li Linfu was able to be prime minister for more than ten years without falling down because of the trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Without the trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Linfu would fall from the prime minister's position in a short time, so Yang Guozhong was not in a hurry.
If the rebellion is finalized, then we will naturally reward you according to the merits.
Yang Guozhong undoubtedly replaced Wang Hui as the Minister of Revenue and other participants. Yang Guozhong originally held fifteen positions, but now he has served as several other positions that originally belonged to Wang Hui. The number of positions has reached twenty, second only to Prime Minister Li Linfu. Not only did Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he also rewarded Yang Guozhong with a lot of gold, silver, cloth and land. With great honor and favor, Yang Guozhong was greatly promoted and he had a faint momentum to compete with Li Linfu.
As for Gao Lishi, because he was an eunuch and had already had the title of Duke of Bohai County, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang only rewarded some gold, silver and cloth to encourage him.
As the "anti-army" who defeated Xing Jian and "captured Xing Jian and others", Li Fei's contribution seemed to be greater than Yang Guozhong and was the "first contribution" to rehabilitation. Yang Guozhong had won so many honors and favors for his rehabilitation, which Li Fei could not say much.
An imperial edict was also sent to Li Fei's mansion.
"The emperor ordered the emperor to be loyal to the heavens and said—————”
Li Fei was originally a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Justice. He was so great that he was only promoted to one level. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang hesitated for a moment and promoted Li Fei to two levels, and promoted Wang Hui to one of the official positions he had just vacated was from the fourth-rank Jingzhao Yin, and also from the title of the Censor of the Secretariat, the Zhanshi Shaoshen Mansion and other four idle positions. The highest-ranking one was the third-rank.
Including Jingzhao Yin, who has real power, Li Fei is also a person with five positions, but it is still far from Yang Guozhong's twenty positions and Li Linfu's more than forty positions. However, Li Fei seems to have achieved this point at the age of only seventeen this year, and I don't know how many people have envied him.
The advantage of having more idle positions is that the monthly salary can be paid more. For example, Li Fei's original salary was only more than 100 taels a month. After being promoted and adding so many idle positions, he could be paid at least 300 taels a month. Of course, Li Fei did not see the salary of just a few hundred taels a month.
In addition to Jingzhao Yin's real power position, other idle positions are just icing on the cake. After all, Li Fei already has the title of Duke of Wu, which is worth more than any idle position.
The "rehabilitation" was also relieved. Wang Hui committed suicide fearing his crime. Wang Hui and others who actually launched the rebellion were searched for the house and beheaded. The rewards were also discussed. The rebellion storm seemed to have completely passed, and Chang'an City would return to its former peace.
But Li Fei didn't think so, because Li Linfu had not yet fallen, the Minister of Revenue could not satisfy Yang Guozhong's ambitions. Yang Guozhong also liked Li Linfu's position as prime minister.
Therefore, there will be a more intense mutual attack and fraud in the future until one of Yang Guozhong or Li Linfu fell. As a future generation, Li Fei knew too well that Yang Guozhong was the winner in the future. After all, Li Linfu was already old and was about to be seventy years old, and lost the absolute trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. How could he fight the "young" Yang Guozhong?
"Madam, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Husband, last year you said so sure that Wang Hui would be knocked down within a year. Why are you so clear about it?" Lin Shiyue was very surprised.
Li Fei laughed dryly and said, "Your husband knows a lot of things, just be your husband's predestination. Not only did I know that Wang Hui was about to fall, but Li Linfu would not last a few months."
"But husband, I don't believe in the Unpredictable Prophet. Husband, you must have some secrets." Lin Shiyue's Qiqiao Lingqing's heart was very clear, and she didn't see many things like ordinary women. She didn't believe in the Unpredictable Prophet at all.
"There must be secrets, and there are many, but I won't tell my wife, and I don't know how to tell her, so it's better not to ask. If my wife really wants to know my secret, just explore it yourself. Anyway, we have a lifetime." Li Fei said with a blink of an eye.
Only when Lin Shiyue's insight is unaware of the truth and knows that she can stop, Li Fei dares to tell her so much.
Lin Shiyue has an excellent wife and mother. She is suitable for a big house in any family. Even in the palace, she is also a person like Wei Zifu and Empress Changsun.
Sure enough, Lin Shiyue's bright eyes turned around. Although she was obviously curious, she really didn't ask questions. She must have really explored them slowly in her heart. Anyway, she had more time in her life.
Noting Lin Shiyue's expression, Li Fei smiled happily.
To use another point of view, Li Fei actually did it on purpose. He knew that Lin Shiyue had such a personality and did this. He wanted to be loving Lin Shiyue for the rest of his life. Lin Shiyue's curiosity about him and his continuous exploration of him are definitely a good way to make Lin Shiyue love him more and more, and their relationship becomes deeper and deeper.
Changsun Lanxin saw that Li Fei was also strange. In order to prevent her from marrying Wang Shen, Li Fei also believed in front of her that Wang Hui would collapse. The Wang family was a fire pit. Unexpectedly, Wang Hui was really collapsed in just a few months, and the Wang family was really killed.
However, Changsun Lanxin didn't ask anything. She was not as clear as Lin Shiyue, and she didn't think much about it at all. Anyway, Li Fei was very nice to her. She lived a peaceful and stable life in the Duke of Wu's Mansion. She was already very happy and too lazy to think about other things.
After marrying Li Fei, Changsun Lanxin liked to study gynecology more. She was only interested in why Li Fei had so many gynecological techniques in her mind, and she boldly asked Li Fei for advice from many things she didn't understand.
Li Fei likes Changsun Lanxin to ask him for medical advice the most. He will only explain this kind of thing to Changsun Lanxin at night.
Before that time, Changsun Lanxin was always very thin-skinned. Every time she cursed Li Fei for not being a human being, but I don’t know why Changsun Lanxin still cooperated with Li Fei to the end every time. The charm made Li Fei unable to stop.
After being promoted to the position of Jingzhao Yin, Li Fei's life was still very peaceful, not much change from the original one. He just went to the Ministry of Justice to work in the business of the Ministry of Justice to work in Jingzhao Yamen.
Jingzhao Yin is actually equivalent to the prefectural prefects, county magistrates, etc. in other places, who are in charge of public security, crimes, etc. in Chang'an City.
There are not many people who dare to commit crimes openly at the feet of this emperor, but there are more playboys. If they don’t care about those playboys, although Jingzhao Yin is in a real position of power, there is basically nothing to do. Didn’t you see that Wang Hui, as the Minister of Revenue, also served as Jingzhao Yin and more than ten other positions? It means that Jingzhao Yin can actually be regarded as a free position. Even if he doesn’t work in Jingzhao Yamen all day long, few people will care.
Of course, Li Fei, who had just been promoted, could not really be a free job and even a yamen, as that would be too disrespectful to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Maybe Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was secretly sending people to pay attention to him. Who made him too young? He was also a relative of Yang Guifei.
