Chapter 621: On Meritorious Deeds
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty understood that this battle could be won so easily, and the losses of the imperial court were minimal, which was really the effort of a hundred schools of thought.
After this battle, the role of the hundred schools of thought was immediately raised to a new height, among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there were gradually other voices of the hundred schools, and it was no longer the words of the Confucian family, which was also what Li Shimin was willing to see, after all, the checks and balances were deeply rooted in the marrow of each generation of emperors.
Of course, Li Shimin did not want to shake Confucianism, after all, the rule of the country still has to rely on Confucianism, but for other doctrines, the DPRK and China no longer have the voice of resistance before.
"Of course, the first personal merit in this battle is Li Aiqing, Li Aiqing has won this battle despite his advanced age and coordinating the whole army." Li Shimin said solemnly to Li Jing.
Li Jing hurriedly came out and said: "This is the honor of Weichen, fortunately, he has not lived up to His Majesty's trust." ”
"Li Aiqing has worked hard and made great contributions to the country, worshipping the right servant of Shangshu and defending the country." Li Shimin said solemnly.
The ministers of the court couldn't help but look at Li Jing with envy, entering and exiting the general is the highest honor for a courtier, and now Li Jing is the first to do it, but Li Jing's credit is indeed the first in the Tang Dynasty, and he deserves such treatment. ”
Li Jing was immediately flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and this Western Expedition has already felt powerless, just barely supporting, and he is really unable to deal with the government." Shangshu's right servant shot the old minister, and he was really powerless. ”
Surprisingly, Li Jing actually refused the position of Shangshu's right servant, even if Li Shimin repeatedly invited, Li Jing resolutely refused.
In the end, Li Shimin said helplessly: "In this case, then Li Aiqing will first take the position of the national prince, and temporarily be responsible for the recruitment plan and the preparation of the military academy." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jing responded.
This is probably the best result, in this way, Li Jing can be said to have left the barracks, no longer commanding the army, the rumors of natural rebellion are self-defeating, and Li Jing has also gotten rid of the restrictions of being in a high position, everyone knows that Li Jing's retreat will no longer be able to lead troops to fight, but with the title of Duke of Weiguo, it is enough to enjoy his old age in peace.
The important ministers who followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north together saw Li Jing retreating, and everyone's hearts seemed to be another big stone falling to the ground.
The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking! This is not a joke, but a bloody tragedy!
Few of the founding heroes of the previous dynasties were able to get a good death, and Li Jing retreated, creating a good ending for the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, which made other important ministers breathe a long sigh of relief.
Even Merton couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the best era, whether it is for others or for the Mo family.
The atmosphere of the entire court suddenly lightened, and both the generals who were being rewarded and the envious Wenchen couldn't help but show a relaxed smile.
"Hou Junji! Feng Chenzhou Thorn History, Chen Guogong. Li Shimin continued to reward.
When the western expedition to Tuyuhun, Hou Junji walked the most arduous southern road, and in the end he still won a complete victory, and the second credit is well deserved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hou Junji said with a rare smile.
"Cheng Zhijie ............," Li Shimin said again.
Cheng Biting Jin expedition to the 800 miles of Hanhai, the head of the ambush Yun returned, the credit ranked third, if it was not for the ambush and the loss of soldiers, the credit would definitely be further.
However, Cheng Yanjin was already extremely satisfied, and bowed down with a happy face at the moment: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Next, Li Daozong, Li Daliang, and so on, all received a lot of rewards, the most conspicuous of which was Su Dingfang.
The original Su Dingfang was just a logistics officer, and at the suggestion of Merton, he set up an efficient transportation team, commanded 8,000 wounded soldiers, and rescued 30,000 soldiers and horses of Li Daoyan.
"Firearms Superintendent Merton!" After Li Shimin rewarded all the generals, it was the turn of the long-awaited Merton.
"Merton led the firearms supervisor Lianke Tuyuhun Sanbao, accurately predicted the tengu eclipse sun, used gunpowder to assist the army to win, used arithmetic to find the enemy's traces, and made many meritorious contributions, and thirty horsemen attacked the enemy army to rescue the left leading army guard......"
Li Shimin read Merton's merits one by one, and all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but gasp, the merits of others were one or two, and Merton turned out to be one after another, and each one of them had already been monstrous if it was put on ordinary generals, and Merton had completed it alone, and this was not over.
Li Shimin glanced at Morton deeply, and continued: "Offering a compass to assist Cheng Aiqing in pursuing Fu Yun, returning with a great victory, the Shandong flood, Mo Aiqing stayed in Tuyuhun to raise enough disaster relief food for the imperial court. ”
After Li Shimin read Merton's merits, the Manchu Dynasty was silent, and even a group of civil officials who hated the Mo family had to admit that in this battle, Merton's role would be irreplaceable by anyone, because of Merton's existence, wherever Merton participated, he had achieved dazzling results.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Many important ministers couldn't help but re-examine Murton in their hearts, everyone had always thought that they looked down on Morton, but they found that they still made the mistake of contempt, as long as the Mo family was given enough platform, they were not surprised how big things this kid did.
Morton suddenly showed a sincere smile, and said shyly: "Weichen is only doing a little bit of effort, thanks to the trust of other generals, he has a little credit for the kid." ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but snort when he saw Merton's smile, and the kid's tail began to again.
"If there is an attack, it will be rewarded, how can I be a person who has no merits or demerits, and I specially ordered Mo Aiqing to be promoted to one level, promoted to the sixth grade, and continue to lead the firearms superintendent." Li Shimin said angrily.
"From the sixth grade." Merton couldn't help pursing his lips, and couldn't help but despise Li Shimin's stinginess, his seven-grade sacrificial wine was already wonderful, and he was also unqualified to serve as a sacrificial wine from the sixth-pin, didn't he see that Kong Yingda's Guozi sacrificial wine was the official position of the fifth grade.
Gao Shilian's heart moved, and he looked at Li Shimin in puzzlement, he went directly to Lanzhou to sit in the town, on the one hand, to stabilize the overall situation in the northwest, on the other hand, it was the official department to verify the merits of the officers and soldiers at all levels in the army, according to the merit book he drew up, Merton should be promoted two levels in a row, for the sixth grade, Rao is so, it is already the result of suppressing Merton.
The hearts of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty moved, according to Merton's merits, he was promoted one level in a row, I am afraid it is not enough to reward Merton's merits, there must be more.
"Marry Princess Changle!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said word by word.
The ministers suddenly realized that it was a great honor to marry Princess Changle, which meant that Li Shimin publicly recognized the marriage in the court, so that there was a reasonable explanation for Merton's promotion to an official position.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Morton didn't expect Li Shimin to be so cheating and reward him with the good things he had promised before, but he had to take it, after all, no matter how big the reward was for him, it was not as important as this recognition of his marriage with Changle.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty for choosing another good son-in-law."
"Congratulations to the Ink Sacrifice Wine."
"Ink sacrifice wine and Princess Changle are really talented men and women, a match made in heaven."
All of a sudden, the entire Taiji Hall was full of congratulations.
There are only two parties who are full of dissatisfaction, Morton despises Li Shimin for being stingy, Li Shimin looks at Morton unpleasantly, this kid will have a secret meeting with Changle for half an hour as soon as he enters Changle Palace, if he doesn't marry again, I'm afraid his daughter's reputation will not be saved.
"The merits of other soldiers will be distributed as usual, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be selected and selected first when the preparations for the military academy are completed!" Li Shimin waved his hand
At this point, the reward for meritorious deeds has officially ended.
