Chapter 28 Conquering the King?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Do you know about the previous Tubo War and the Turks' attack on Chang'an?"

"Of course I know."

Everyone nodded. That battle could be said to be the easiest battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Could it be that Li Shimin planned to reward people based on their merits?However, this war suddenly happened, and these veterans did not play an important role, and it was not their turn to be rewarded based on their merits.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and said with a smile: "General Cheng, is the new equipment easy to use?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this steel knife is really powerful. Those Tibetans are not opponents at all, and the weapons in their hands will collapse in one blow."

"And the grenade, we wiped out the opponent's Khan without a single soldier."

"It's a pity that the prince-in-law gave me too little, otherwise I wouldn't have killed him in the northern Turkic positions."

As he said that, Cheng Yaojin still had a resentful look on his face.

Su Feng shrugged and said, "Don't complain, Lao Cheng, I only have so much on me, and it's hard to make manpower."

Want to make grenades?Don't be ridiculous, ordinary gunpowder can't satisfy this kind of power at all. If you want to make a grenade, you have to solve the problem of gunpowder.

"What, such an artifact was actually made by the son-in-law?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

When Cheng Yaojin said this, all the ministers present widened their eyes.

How could a villager make such a thing?

Even the legendary master craftsman Lu Ban couldn't make it.

Fake, definitely fake.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng almost tore off the beard on his chin.

He had seen that steel knife before, it cut iron like mud, it was not at the same level as Tang Jun's weapons.

And that grenade, it is said that one shot wiped out the entire camp, including the opponent's Khan, and the general was gone.

This weapon is simply a divine weapon.

Fortunately, it is difficult to create and cannot be used on a large scale. Otherwise, once this kid rebels, it will definitely be a hidden danger.

"I'm going to reward Yan County in Youzhou to the son-in-law, and let him be a county king there, which can be regarded as an explanation of his identity. What do you think?!" Li Shimin thought for a while, and looked at it seriously. everyone said.

After all, Su Feng is now a white body, and Zhier follows the white body Su Feng, which will naturally attract dissatisfaction from everyone.

In this case, he might as well give Su Feng the title of king, which would be worthy of his royal status.

"Wow!"

Su Feng was happy, but the people headed by Wei Zheng were unwilling!
To know.

The status of a county king is not something ordinary people can do. Even the piece of land given by Li Shimin is not very good. If it is given to anyone else here, these guys may not accept it.

but.

Rules are always rules!
They have followed Li Shimin through life and death for so many years, but they have never received such a grand reward.

How could this consort get such a grand reward?

Just because of his white clothes?
Even if he is a son-in-law, it is not his turn to be the county king?

Who is not more senior than him?Which one does not have great military exploits?Why should it be his turn to be the king?

Moreover, what if the other party harbors evil intentions in the future?
In fact, in today's era, the status of a prince-in-law is not very high, and many people actually look down on these people.

In other words, to put it in ugly words, these guys are just relying on their status as princesses and have absolutely no abilities of their own. They are actually a bunch of trash!
Especially Wei Zheng, who didn't like Su Feng at first, and was worried that he would threaten the court in the future. When he heard that Li Shimin was going to give Su Feng a land, his heart almost jumped out.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, be careful with this matter!"

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling hurriedly stopped them.

"The matter of the king's obeisance to the prime minister is related to the important affairs of the court, so it should not be done lightly."

Other ministers also echoed again and again.

Although this son-in-law contributed a lot of strength to the Tubo War, the laws of the country are the laws of the country and should not be trifled with.

"Damn it, everyone looks down on the young master?"

Su Feng is a little unhappy, what do you people mean?Look down on my uncle?
Give me some time to let you know what slapping is.

When Cheng Yaojin saw that Wei Zheng was the first to stand out, he was a little upset, this old man, when you have merit, you don't remember who, but when you don't, you remember clearly.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wei Zheng was a veteran, he would have been angry a long time ago.

For the scene in front of him, Li Shimin had already expected it...

Li Shimin originally wanted to tell what he saw and heard in the village. After all, this was the thing that had the greatest impact on the ministers of the DPRK and China.

He believed that as long as he let Su Feng show his flintlock, he would be able to shut up these guys.

But soon he hesitated again, the power of the flintlock was too great.

Not only on the battlefield, but also in politics. The appearance of the grenade is already a miracle. If people know that Su Feng still has such terrifying power, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble in the future.

As the saying goes, big trees attract wind, many times... Even if you don't provoke others, once you are too powerful, people will naturally come to make trouble for you.

Li Shimin understands the truth of the crime of embracing biscuits better than anyone else!

What he didn't expect was that the officials of the court had such a big reaction.

Especially those led by Wei Zheng.

Just when Li Shimin was about to say something, Queen Changsun spoke.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a suggestion, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Seeing Empress Changsun speaking, Li Shimin knew that she was trying to help him out, so he nodded and said, "Guanyin, just say it, it doesn't matter."

Empress Changsun said slowly: "My son-in-law is a great talent, and this concubine agrees."

"But the matter of conferring the king and worshiping the prime minister should not be rushed."

Just when Wei Zheng thought the queen was speaking for them, Empress Changsun changed the subject.

"I think it is better to temporarily hand over the management of Yan County in the north to the prince-in-law. If the prince-in-law can make the people in the north have good weather and the country is peaceful and the people are safe within two years, what if we can make him the King of Yan?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience sighed.

It's not that it's easy, it's that it's too difficult.

Not to mention Guotai Minan, it is simply to solve the problem of eating and drinking for the people, there is no solution at all.

Most of the water and soil in the north are not suitable for planting, and there are droughts and floods all year round. Even if Chang'an has entered the rule of Zhenguan, there is nothing to do with the north.

More importantly, the northern Turks often went south to burn, kill and loot the people. If they want to solve the basic necessities of the people, they must solve the Turkic chaos.

But is this possible?
As a mountain villager, even if he can make steel knives and grenades, he may not be able to withstand the vast Turkic army.

If it weren't for the Great Wall built during the Qin Dynasty, the entire Tang Dynasty would have suffered from the Turks.

Is this exile in disguise?
It seems that His Majesty still has his heart towards the old minister.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth, and then he stepped forward and bowed in salute.

"The queen is wise!"

As soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, other ministers also bowed their hands again and again.
