Chapter Seventy-Four: Can't Cheap This Kid
As soon as these words came out, the court immediately fell silent.
That's right, it seems that it was Li Zheng who pacified the Yinshan War in the first place, although this time the negotiation shows that there is no Li Zheng on the surface.
But everyone knows that Li Zheng's credit is indispensable for this matter.
Moreover, Li Zheng also taught the method of cooking crab insects, which made crabs, which have always been disgusted by people, a delicacy
Why don't you give Li Zheng a reward?
Li Shimin thought in his heart, my treasury is about to run out of rats, and he Li Zheng is the richest!
Is it too little to give Jingyang 20,000 yuan a year?
Give him a reward back?
Looking at the courtiers, Li Shimin was depressed in his heart, didn't any of the courtiers think about me?
What kind of life I lived, I lived frugally every day, and I had to be careful even when I ate meat.
Is it easy?
What kind of life is he living, big fish and big meat all day long!
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent and had a straight face.
Cheng Yanjin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! The minister has something to say. ”
Seeing Cheng Biting Jin coming out, the ministers below immediately held their breath, everyone knew that Cheng Biting Jin and the old man Wei Zheng did not deal with each other, it seemed that there was a good show to watch.
Li Shimin said with a calm face: "Speak." ”
Cheng Yanjin turned to look at Wei Zheng, who was standing in the court, and said, "Wei Zheng, old man, why do you say that Your Majesty will not give Li Zheng a reward." ”
Wei Zheng said: "Then why haven't you seen the edict come down for a long time. ”
Cheng Yanjin raised his chin and sneered, first saluted Li Shimin and said: "It is rumored that Your Majesty is close to the people and loves the people, but he is the emperor of the world, how can His Majesty not give Li Zheng a reward, even if the reward is delayed......"
Delayed......
Cheng Yanjin turned and said: "Your Majesty has not given the reward for a long time because Your Majesty has not thought much about it, how to reward it!" ”
Li Shimin: "......"
Cheng Yanjin bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty, is what the minister said right?" ”
"Li Zheng's reward, I really have to think about it."
Li Shimin had no choice but to follow Cheng Yanjin's words.
The six ministries of the three provinces read out their respective reports, and Li Shimin also hastily retired from the court.
Two days have passed, and Li Shimin still has not given Li Zheng a reward.
This time, the people and officials in the court were also anxious.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"Why didn't you give Li Zheng a reward for a long time?"
"Could it be that Li Zheng has offended His Majesty somewhere?"
"How could it be! Li Zheng has done so many things for the DPRK, how can he offend His Majesty. ”
"I think Your Majesty should also be rewarded too late."
Li Shimin sat in the Ganlu Hall and watched more and more officials hand over the chapters, and was willing to reward Li Zheng himself.
It is biased to say that there is no reward.
Not rewarding them will also disappoint courtiers who want to make meritorious contributions.
That is, the emperor of the world should reward the heroes.
Li Zheng has meritorious service with the country, and he can be rewarded for his territorial expansion.
Li Shimin had the strength to support his body weakly, and watched it one after another.
I used to feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in being a Mingjun.
Now I think about why it's so tiring to be a Mingjun.
Obviously, I should be happy.
Li Shimin put all these pieces aside, and was in a depressed mood and ready to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is here."
"What is he here for?" Li Shimin didn't have a good face, so he had to nod and signal for him to come in.
Li Chengqian came to the Ganlu Hall and straightened his clothes and said, "Father." ”
Li Shimin said with a dark face: "Speak." ”
Li Chengqian bowed down and said, "Father and Emperor thought that Li Zheng should be rewarded. ”
Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian with his eyes and asked, "Is it?" Why do you think so. ”
"Erchen thinks that it is not a bad thing to have clear rewards and punishments, and Li Zheng is indeed meritorious."
Li Shimin said with a calm face: "So you think Li Zheng should be rewarded?" ”
Li Chengqian said solemnly: "Many courtiers also think so. ”
Syllable!
Li Shimin suddenly took up the case, which frightened Li Chengqian.
"Is there something wrong with Erchen?"
Li Shimin shouted loudly: "What qualifications do you have to come to Li Zheng to invite merit and reward." ”
Li Chengqian's heart was flustered, "Erchen ......"
"I asked you to preside over the affairs of the alliance, what did you accomplish in the end?"
Li Chengqian's face turned pale.
"It's not that Li Zheng instructed Ke'er to do a bandit act and complete this alliance, but you!"
"But here you are asking me for merit and reward Li Zheng?"
"Li Chengqian! I named you the prince, are you going to do what the prince showed me? ”
Li Chengqian knelt on the ground with a puff, "Erchen is guilty." ”
Li Shimin shouted: "Where is your sin? ”
"Erchen ......"
Li Chengqian couldn't say where his sin was.
"Do what the people in the court say? You don't have any ideas of your own, do you just follow the crowd? ”
Li Chengqian lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
Li Shimin shouted: "Get out of here, reflect on it for a month and think about it behind closed doors!" ”
Li Chengqian walked out of the Manna Hall with a disgraced face, how could his father be so angry today.
"Has anything happened to my father lately? Why are you so angry? ”
The eunuch whispered: "I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty, I've been inexplicably angry recently, and it's related to Li Zheng every time?" ”
Lee? Could it be that Li Zheng offended his father somewhere?
Remembering what his father said to him again, it is true that his actions this time were a little reckless.
It should be more thoughtful.
It would be nice if Li Zheng was giving advice by his side, but unfortunately let Li Tai take the lead.
After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin sat upset.
None of his sons are promising!
It is difficult to be an emperor, it is difficult to be a king, and it is even more difficult to be a father.
The eunuch came to report and said, "Your Majesty's room is here. ”
"Let him in." Li Shimin said with his eyes closed.
Fang Xuanling walked into the Manna Hall and saluted, "Your Majesty! ”
Hearing Fang Xuanling's voice, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "Are you also here to petition Li Zheng to let me reward Li Zheng?" ”
Fang Xuanling bowed down and said: "Your Majesty thinks that the method of eating crabs should be spread in the Central Plains, not only in Chang'an, there may be a crab disaster, but if there is a crab disaster in other places, it can also be done." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Very good, let's arrange it like this." ”
Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "Your Majesty has one more thing. ”
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Li Zheng should be rewarded. ”
"Do you even think so?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "Now that Li Zheng is still young, he can't give too much reward. ”
Finally hearing different words, Li Shimin still nodded and motioned for Fang Xuanling to continue.
Fang Xuanling continued: "The minister thinks that Li Zheng should also make a choice, if Li Zheng is willing to become a member of His Majesty's command, he can get more rewards. ”
Listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin understood in his heart, but Li Zheng, a kid, didn't get in the oil and salt.
Li Shimin knows that Li Zhen and Li Zheng have a personal relationship, do you want to use their daughter to coerce and lure?
No way! It's a loss, it's too cheap.
