Chapter Twenty-Three: The Reward is Heavy
Princess Taiping is dead! Princess Taiping, who was as strong as a queen, died in Pei Min's arms. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As she says: she has her pride!
Although Li Dan gave Princess Taiping a way to live, but let Princess Taiping survive as a loser, with her arrogance, it is better to die than to be more happy!
For the future path, Princess Taiping has already decided, either to live in the world as a successful person, or to end up with failure, so she has already prepared poison for herself. In fact, it's not just her, Li Longji is the same, if Princess Taiping wins today, even if Princess Taiping can tolerate Li Longji, Li Longji will not be ashamed to live in the world.
They are one kind of people, Li Tang's world, and they can't accommodate two people with a strong desire for power.
Pei Min felt a little sad in his heart, although he had no regrets about his position today, but he couldn't help but reverie: What would happen if he had let Princess Taiping buy her and serve her sincerely?
It's come to this, it's useless to think about it!
As for Princess Taiping's deathbed advice, Pei Min can only keep it in mind and pay attention to it at all times.
Li Longji's coup d'état was successful, and in the face of the five brothers working together, Princess Taiping was unable to support herself, and she was defeated without losing or being unjust.
After this coup d'état, Emperor Taishang Li Dan was more mournful than dead, and Princess Taiping's suicide caused him to lose his "only" relative. The little bit of enthusiasm for power in his heart became hateful, and he even felt that it was because he coveted that little bit of power and did not give power to Li Longji that led to the cause of the coup, and fell into remorse and self-blame, completely unwilling to pay attention to political matters, issued an edict, handed over all the power in his hands to Li Longji, moved out of Taiji Palace, and lived in the Baifu Palace.
The great empire of the Tang Dynasty has gone through a series of vicious battles, starting from the Wu dynasty, the two Zhang seized power, the Wei family, Princess Anle cholera dynasty, the Taiping people controlled the government, and the forces rose and finally perished, and finally, on this day, everything was settled.
Li Longji also got rid of the embarrassing situation of being in name only, and became a veritable true emperor!
The only thing that makes Pei Min happy is that Li Longji did not kill at the end of this coup, and the important members of Princess Taiping's party in the DPRK and China have long been cleared. For their families, Li Longji adopted a tolerant attitude, and did not rush to exterminate them, but he did not choose to forgive, but confiscated the family wealth and degraded them to other places.
Not only that, but what surprised Pei Min the most was that Princess Taiping's family was also within Li Longji's forgiveness, Pei Min remembered that in history, Princess Taiping except for Xue Chongjian, all her sons were killed by Li Longji. But this time it may have been affected by Li Dan's heartfelt wail, and the murderous intent was not so strong. Although the assets of Princess Taiping's mansion were still confiscated, she pardoned the capital crimes of her other three sons, but demoted them to commoners and exiled them to Bazhou, and they were not allowed to serve as officials or return to Beijing. Xue Chongjian, as in history, was specially dismissed, reinstated as an official, and given the surname Li.
Pei Min saw that Li Longji had missed Hui Fan, so he specially reminded him. He is not a gentleman, and he will not be soft when he can fall into the well.
Hui Fan naturally also sentenced him to death, and when he raided his house, the soldiers and soldiers collected 13 million yuan from his house, and the materials for the raid were second only to Princess Taiping, and the killing was not unjust at all.
As night fell, the purge of the Taiping party in the court also came to an end.
That night, Li Longji held a small celebration banquet in the Wude Palace, the scale of the celebration banquet was not large, but as long as there were civil servants and military generals who had the merit of the dragon, they were invited.
This is also Li Longji's cleverness.
Emperor Li Dan was only a middle talent, when Li Longji launched the Tang Long coup d'état, he was the first to ascend to the throne, and the mountains of government affairs made him one head and two big, and he couldn't handle it at all. Then he thought of a way, when the political affairs came, he didn't have to think about it at all, and directly asked the minister if he had discussed with Taiping, no, he went to discuss with Taiping first. Discussed? That's better, just follow the Taiping method and deal with it directly. Not only are all the major military affairs entrusted to Princess Taiping, but even the power to appoint and dismiss hundreds of civil and military officials is also entrusted to Princess Taiping. Because of this, officials who cling to Princess Taiping for a future are eager to pursue it. led to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, most of whom were the henchmen of Princess Taiping. Now that most of the Taiping has been cleared, there are countless vacancies, and the dynasty is bound to be unstable.
And Li Longji's most trustworthy person is Conglong's minister, these people have made great contributions, they are all waiting for a reward, and they are naturally very loyal to him. Building a team with dragon heroes is also a must for the wise kings of all dynasties.
The seats of the banquet are also very particular, arranged according to the merits of the dragon.
There is no doubt that the four kings are the first to make the first contribution, and this time, the role of the four kings is obvious. As a prince, he has great deterrence and credibility to capture the thief with the holy decree, even if he knows that the holy decree may be false, he does not dare to do anything to the emperor's son. Either you will be killed for the crime of disobeying the decree, or you will not accept the decree, there is no third choice.
The second is Guo Yuanzhen, Guo Yuanzhen's resourcefulness and step-by-step calculation shown in this coup d'état are the highest and well-deserved. Next are Pei Min and Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, Cui Riyong, Zhang Shuo and others. Zhang said that he was far away in Luoyang, so he naturally didn't have time to attend today's banquet. And because Wei Zhigu, Wang Ju, and Cui Riyong have followed Li Longji for a long time, and their qualifications are very old, so Pei Min is under the three. After Pei Min, it was Wang Maozhong, Ge Fushun, Li Xianyan, Xue Jungu, Ma Xu and other generals who first responded to the call, from top to bottom, nearly more than 50 people.
Pei Min is the youngest and the lowest in this group of ministers from the dragon, but the merits obtained are the most eye-catching, and no one dares to disagree. Who can sit at this celebration banquet is not a human spirit, how can I know that after today, this youngest young man will be like a carp that has crossed the dragon gate, and has begun to turn into a dragon and take off.
Li Longji is eloquent, as the host of the banquet, more than 50 people he said his names one by one, counted his achievements, and toasted one by one, and everyone praised the eyebrows and danced, they all felt valued, the future was immeasurable, and they were full of yearning for a better life.
A banquet, Li Longji can be said to have won the hearts of the people.
Pei Min returned to the mansion, looked at the mansion given to him by Princess Taiping, and thought of the female middle school hero who died in his arms, and couldn't help sighing, with a faint melancholy in his heart.
Walking into the mansion, the housekeeper Ning Ze came to congratulate him first. Today, the Taiping Party was punished, and it has long been boiling. Although Pei Min's exploits are not known to the world at present, there are also rumors about it.
Ning Ze and his brother Ning Encai are slightly equal, and they are both qualified to inherit the steward of the Xue family, Ning Ze was unwilling to fight with his brother, so he took a step back and came to Pei's mansion to serve as a steward at Xue Ne's invitation. He saw that Pei Min was extraordinary, outstanding in his work, and he would have an atmosphere in the future, and he would do his best to take care of the mansion for him, so that Pei Min would soar in the future, and he would be honored. But I didn't think that in just over a month, Pei Min had already made a name for himself, and he was very happy.
Xue Ne has been waiting for Pei Min to return, and one old and one young are talking about today's incident in the hall.
Listening to Li Dan's sorrowful voice, Xue Ne was also embarrassed, full of emotion, and heard that Princess Taiping died in Pei Min's arms, and couldn't help but say: "If Princess Taiping is a man, she will do something great with her wisdom, but it's a pity!" Her daughter has given her too many disadvantages to herself, so that she is addicted to power, like a moth to a fire. You don't have to have any pressure, the power struggle of the royal family has always been so cruel and inevitable. Based on my understanding of His Majesty today, today's incident is a great good thing for the Tang Dynasty. ”
Pei Min remembered the glory of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan in history, and the melancholy in his heart also dissipated a lot.
With the subjugation of the Taiping Party, it means that a new era is coming.
Li Longji succeeded as emperor for more than a year, and he has been in the Wude Hall to ask about politics.
On this day, he finally entered the Taiji Palace, and the young Li Jiazaburo was heroic and ambitious, and he only felt that the world was in the palm of his hand, and the Tang Dynasty would definitely take advantage of the situation.
Li Longji killed five prime ministers yesterday, and the phase was vacant, and the first thing the previous dynasty did was to appoint the prime minister and maintain the operation of the Tang Dynasty's institutions: Guo Yuanzhen, Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo, Liu Youqiu and others were promoted to prime ministers. The second event is also the highlight of today's court meeting: the reward for the heroes of Conglong. In the face of the countless vacancies in the imperial court, Li Longji stayed awake all night last night, in order to arrange all the heroes who were willing to follow him to suitable positions, on the one hand, to help him stabilize the court, and on the other hand, to reward them for their help to himself.
Needless to say, the four kings of the first merit are not to mention: but the four kings have a special status, they are princes, and there is no reward for them, and their actual feudal food has been raised to 5,000. Guo Yuanzhen was promoted to prime minister and became the prince of the country. Wei Zhigu was promoted to the rank of servant, entered the Liang Guogong, and was given the actual seal of 300 households. Wang Ju entered the household department. The family committee is special, participates in the politics of Henan, and seals Ziwei Shilang and Zhao Guogong. Cui Ri used the power to inspect the history of the governor of Yongzhou, and the four hundred households before the closure were completed, and the Duke of Qi was sealed. Zhang said that the worship was the order of the Chinese book and the title of the Duke of Yanguo.
One by one, they were rewarded from the dragon heroes, and after Zhang said, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty pricked up their ears.
Yesterday's small banquet, Pei Min's status from the dragon is obvious, as the youngest Conglong hero, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military want to know what height he will climb to the sky in one step!
Pei Min, the director of the Ministry of War, was promoted to serve the imperial history and entered the title of Duke of Liangguo.
When the appointment was issued, the ministers could not help but be greatly surprised, and some people were even very upset, although there were no whispers, so many officials knelt there, but some people felt a commotion at the slightest change.
I all know that Pei Min will ascend to the sky in one step, but I don't want him to jump several levels from a small eight-grade mung bean official to a sixth-grade official at once, and he also added the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, which is actually a grace to this point!
But those who personally participated in the coup d'état were comfortable with it, and although they had envy, they seemed to them to be well-deserved.
If it weren't for Pei Min, the Right Yulin Army would not be so easily subdued, the Right Yulin Army would not be submissive, and it would be impossible for Wanqi to surrender, without Yulin Army and Wanqi, what would Li Longji do against the Nanya Forbidden Army?
What's more, Pei Min also figured out the peace and meticulous work, saved Li Longji's life, and was the first to put forward the proposal of attacking Nanya.
In the entire coup d'état, Pei Min's credit is at the key point, which can be called to determine the overall situation!
