The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 162 Li Yunfei's Promotion

For a time, the entire capital was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and people were proud that the country had such brave and fearless soldiers. The Zhan and Li families also rose again, their family reputations were restored, and their former glory shone again in the world.

However, this victory did not make Li Yunfei complacent. He knew the cruelty and helplessness of war. Every night when it was quiet, he would think of the brothers who died on the battlefield, and his heart was filled with grief and longing. So he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to the country and protect the peace of this land.

The morning sun shines on the magnificent palace, and the court is solemn and dignified. Emperor Tiansheng is the ruler of the country, sitting on the high dragon throne, with a kind and majestic face. The ministers are standing on both sides, respectfully waiting for the emperor's will.

When Li Yunfei entered the court, everyone's eyes were focused on him. He was tall and straight, with a majestic demeanor and steady and powerful steps. Emperor Tiansheng looked at the general with great military achievements in front of him, his eyes full of joy.

"My dear minister! You have worked hard in this battle! I will reward you handsomely!" Emperor Tiansheng said in a loud voice.

Li Yunfei bowed deeply to the emperor and thanked him for his great grace: "Your Majesty, I am just fulfilling my duty."

Emperor Tiansheng smiled slightly and continued, "No matter what, you are a meritorious official of our dynasty and deserve to be rewarded. Come on, give Li Yunfei ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, and ten beauties..."

Faced with such a generous reward, Li Yunfei did not show the slightest joy. Instead, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying sincerely: "Your Majesty, I dare not accept such a generous reward. During the war, many soldiers fought bravely and sacrificed their lives for the country. They are the real heroes. Your Majesty, please give these rewards to the families of those sacrificed soldiers to comfort their heroic spirits."

After hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng was secretly moved. He did not expect that Li Yunfei would care so much about the people and soldiers. This quality is rare. So, Emperor Tiansheng readily agreed and said, "Okay! My dear minister, what you said is absolutely right! As you said, all these properties will be used to provide relief to the families of the soldiers who died for the country. In addition, some additional pensions will be given to them to show the court's respect and care for the heroes."

Li Yunfei was filled with gratitude and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom! This way, the families of the martyrs can also get some comfort."

After the court session, Li Yunfei rushed back to his house without stopping. As soon as he entered the house, he could not wait to tell his family what happened in the court. His wife looked at him tenderly, her eyes full of admiration; his parents smiled and nodded, expressing their support for their son's decision. The children surrounded their father, asking questions curiously.

The family sat together, enjoying themselves. Li Yunfei said with emotion: "As a subject, I should share the worries of the emperor and solve the problems of the people. Although I rejected the reward from the emperor today, I am satisfied to do something for the brothers who died on the battlefield."

After that, Li Yunfei devoted himself to military reform. He studied military tactics and strategies, recruited talents, and trained new soldiers. At the same time, he actively promoted the policy of farming to ensure the supply of military food and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

After several years of hard work, the country's military strength has become increasingly strong, the border is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, leading a happy and fulfilling life. All of this is inseparable from Li Yunfei's hard work and selfless dedication.

Emperor Tiansheng was very pleased and specially appointed Li Yunfei as a first-rank general and granted him the highest honor - to control the military power of the world!

Time passes by like a white horse passing by, and the wheel of years rolls forward mercilessly.

In that year, the Rong tribe in the north suddenly invaded the border without any warning, and the border was frequently in danger. At this critical moment of life and death, Li Yunfei was ordered to lead the mighty army to the front line to resist the enemy. Before leaving, he made a solemn oath to the emperor: he must do his best to defeat the invading enemy and protect the country!

On the battlefield, Li Yunfei led the troops and commanded them with confidence; the officers and soldiers under his command were also full of fighting spirit and bravely moved forward, fighting desperately with the enemy. After several thrilling battles, they finally succeeded in defeating the Rong army and regained the lost territory in one fell swoop.
