Chapter 336: Shang Guangsi Comes to Beijing (Second Watch)

"According to the holy decree of His Majesty, the commander of the Western Expedition, the general of the Right God Ce Army, and the concubine Liu Kui, who has made meritorious contributions to the recovery of Longyou, canonized as the Marquis of Wulan, and rewarded 1,500 acres of fertile land, a pasture, and a few other money!"

“。。。。。 Wang Jian, the governor of Songzhou's Governor's Mansion, has made meritorious contributions to the recovery of stacks and two states, canonized as Pingliangbo, rewarded 1,000 acres of fertile land, and a number of property. ”

。。。。。。

With a series of rewards that have been predetermined for a long time, the whole court meeting enters the next process---- the dedication ceremony.

This reward is mainly the canonization of officials above the fifth grade, as for those who are not present and those with lower ranks, there are also chamberlains and brocade guards to read it, so as not to waste time in this court.

"Xuantaozhou Tubo Thorn Shi Shang Guangsi to meet you!"

At this moment, Zhang Wei, who was standing in front of Li Ye, took a deep breath, and with a voice in his throat, the entire court meeting entered the stage.

This dedication ceremony is the highlight of today, otherwise Li Ye would not have held a court meeting in the Taiji Palace.

The number of people attending the court meeting today is not less than that of the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting, except that there are no representatives of the feudal towns, but there are many meritorious soldiers, but most of them are waiting outside the palace.

Looking at the majestic Taiji Hall in front of him, Shang Guangsi was shocked, but after being reminded by the eunuch next to him, he took a deep breath, glanced at the Taiji Hall on the steps, and stepped on the first step.

In a group of ministers and soldiers who participated in the court meeting, they saw Shang Guangsi, who was wearing the costumes of the Tibetan nobles, walking a little nervously, holding a wooden plate in both hands, and walking from outside the Taiji Hall with a bowed body.

When he came closer, Shang Guangsi said in a non-standard Chinese voice, "Shang Guangsi, the leader of Taozhou Tubo, leads 10,248 Tubo tribes in Taozhou, and returns to His Majesty the Heavenly Dynasty, long live Your Majesty."

Shang Guangsi came here, in addition to offering the household registration of more than 10,000 tribes in Taozhou, there are 5,000 high-quality war horses and 100 horses! Your Majesty, please! ”

Five thousand high-quality war horses?

Hearing Shang Guangsi's big stroke, the ministers and generals present were also a little shocked, although Taozhou produces horses, but after all, there are so many people and places, after five thousand high-quality war horses are offered, doesn't it mean that they are self-tied?

And now the imperial court is already short of high-quality war horses, not to mention the hundred horses dedicated to His Majesty!

"Haha! Well, that's good! Someone, bring it in! ”

Although he was just going through the motions, Li Ye was still shocked when he heard the news. This should be regarded as the first foreign tribe to submit to the Tang Dynasty since he ascended the throne, as for Li Wangjie, he is actually a lost dog, if it is not for the gold to buy horse bones, he will not get a count.

Moreover, these five thousand war horses were not in the content promised by Shang Guangsi before, and they were obviously temporarily increased.

After getting Shang Guangsi's letter of surrender, Li Ye read it carefully, and when he saw that the tone was humble and sincere, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly, "The leader of Shang is willing to raise his clan to submit to my Tang Dynasty, and his attitude is sincere, I am very pleased, from today on, Taozhou is the territory of my Tang Dynasty, and the leader of Shang is also the minister of my Tang Dynasty." ”

After speaking, Li Ye motioned to Zhang Wei on the side, and Zhang Wei took out a holy decree and began to read it, "Your Majesty has a decree, Shang Guangsi, the leader of Taozhou Tubo。。。。。。。 Specially canonized Shang Guangsi as the five springs, rewarding thousands of acres of fertile land. Chin this! ”

"Chen Shang Guangsi, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

The end of the city dedication ceremony does not mean the end of today's court meeting, looking at these ministers and generals in front of him, Li Ye said lightly, "Longyou Xinding, in order to ensure that Longyou is under the rule of my Tang Dynasty, I want to follow the law of my ancestors and re-establish the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in Lanzhou, responsible for governing the states of Longyou." ”

Only a small number of people knew about the re-establishment of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, so as soon as these words came out, many ministers and generals were surprised, and they immediately talked about it.

Li Ye waved his hand, and then continued, "Since September of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong established the Anxi Protectorate in Jiaohe City, and until the death of the Anxi Protectorate in the third year of Xianzong Yuanhe, my Tang Dynasty has lost control of the Western Regions.

I am deeply ashamed of my ancestors, and I am also ashamed of the Anxi soldiers and civilians who died for our Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and now the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is to restore the former glory of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and restore control over the Western Regions, so as to comfort the souls of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and the soldiers and civilians who died in the war in Anxi.

Liu Qi, the general of the Right God Ce Army, stepped forward to listen to the seal! ”

"The minister is here!"

"I have appointed you as the first Metropolitan Protector of Anxi, and I hope that during your leadership of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, you will stabilize the situation in Longyou, train soldiers, and make unremitting efforts for the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to return to the four towns of Anxi."

"The minister will live up to the grace of God!"

"Wang Jian of the Songzhou Governor's Mansion stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

"The minister is here!"

“。。。 I order you to be the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protector's Mansion... ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Where is Wuquan Bo Shang thinking?"

"The minister is here!"

"I have appointed you as the deputy 。。。。。 of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that he was appointed as the deputy protector, Shang Guangsi was like a dream, that was a real high-ranking official, I didn't expect that he was actually appointed to this position, but what should Taozhou do?

Li Ye seemed to guess what Shang Guangsi was thinking, so he asked with a smile, "Uncle Wuquan has a younger brother, named Shang Guangming!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Since Aiqing has been appointed as the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, it is not suitable to continue to manage Taozhou, so I issued an order to use Aiqing's brother Guangming as the assassin of Taozhou, and govern Taozhou for me and the imperial court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yeyi's continuous rewards made it difficult for most courtiers and generals to digest in a short period of time, which contained too much content, and the imperial court's strategy for the next step in Hexi and the Western Regions was also exposed.

Although some people feel worthless for Liu Kui, but thinking that Liu Kui is not only a marquis, but also has received so many rewards, it is also His Majesty's compensation to Liu Kui. And Liu Kui's age is indeed not suitable, after all, Longyou is newly determined, and Liu Kui's performance on the battlefield is good, but it does not mean that he can govern Longyou well.

In addition to the personnel appointments of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the forbidden army also underwent some changes. Liu Qi served as the protector of the capital, so he no longer served as the general of the Right Tiance Army, and was replaced by Yuan Zhiqing; Gu Yanlang, the general of the Right Shenwu Army, also succeeded Wang Jian as the governor of Songzhou.

Of course, careful people also found some things, that is, Li Ye transferred one-third of the people in the imperial examination in the first year of Qianning to the command of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and Zheng Gu, Wen Xian, Yang Wending, Kong Chongbi and others were all transferred to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the positions were high and low.

Zheng Gu, who was originally the champion, did not go as fast as the second place Wen Xian, although the battle of Fuqiang made Wen Xian suffer a lot, but it can be regarded as a bittersweet end.

。。。。。。

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, whether there is good news, bad news will follow.

Li Yi is seriously ill, don't mention it, since the New Year, his body has not improved, even if Li Ye asked the doctors in the Tai Hospital to try their best, there is still not much improvement, and it is difficult to even get out of bed now.

At this time, the medical conditions were not good, and some incurable diseases could not be detected and treated.

Of course, Li Ye has always had a bottom in his heart, although he is a little irritable, but he is helpless.

The bad news here is that Zheng Zheng is no longer good.

Last year, Zheng Jin's health was not very good, so he resigned from his position to recuperate at home, and this year it is even more serious. Not long ago, the doctor diagnosed that there may not be a few days left to live.

Hearing that Zheng Zheng was critically ill, Li Ye was actually very uncomfortable.

Although Zheng Zheng had a close relationship with the eunuchs at this time, he left a very important mark in the late Tang Dynasty in history.

Huang Chao attacked Chang'an, forcing Li Yi to flee to Chengdu, when there were many feudal towns around Guanzhong, but he did not dare to fight Huang Chao. Only Zheng Jin, who was the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival at that time, stood up and led the Fengxiang army to block the pursuing Huangchao army, and passed on the text to crusade against Huangchao, otherwise the Tang Dynasty might have ended more than 20 years earlier.

Of course, Zheng Zheng did not change the predicament of the Tang Dynasty, because his father Zheng Ya participated in the party struggle, and he had a close relationship with the eunuchs, and he was also involved in the party struggle, was excluded by the powerful, and because he offended Tian Lingzi, he was removed from office, and then died of depression.

In this time and space, although there is the appearance of Li Ye, Zheng Jin can be regarded as having a lot of tribulations, but he is old, and he has not been under Li Ye for too long, before Li Ye ascended the throne, Zheng Zhen resigned due to illness.

Despite this, Li Ye still respects Zheng Zheng very much.

So when he learned that Zheng Zheng was critically ill, Li Ye personally brought the queen Liu Chenyan, Concubine Li Sun Mei, as well as the eldest son Li You and the second son Li to visit Zheng Jin.

This specification is not grand, Li Ye came in person is already very grand, but he also brought the queen and Concubine Li, which makes people a little confused, but they can see Li Ye's respect for Zheng Jin. It means that as long as Zheng Ningji is not too stupid, under the shadow of his father, he can also be reused by His Majesty, which is envied by many people.

Of course, there is another problem, that is, Ding Wei, the Tang Dynasty called service discipline.

The discipline system of the Tang Dynasty was originally that the mother died and the father was still alive, and he only needed to serve the discipline for one year to get rid of it; When the father dies, regardless of whether the mother is alive or not, he needs to serve three years of discipline. Of course, during the Wu Zetian period, the discipline for his mother was also changed to three years, although it changed, but during the Tang Xuanzong period, this article was set by the system, and there were no major changes later.

But this involves a problem, resignation for three years, has a great impact on officials, many people in order not to affect their careers, there are no honest discipline for three years, there are many reasons for this, there are officials themselves are unwilling, and there are also people in power who need talents to do things.

According to later records about the Chinese mourning dress system, in the entire Tang Dynasty, the number of people who honestly completed the six-year service discipline system may not be more than ten.

Whether it's true or false can't be determined.

But Zheng Ningji is indeed facing this problem, after all, the current Zheng Ningji is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he has joined the cabinet as a university scholar, and he is worthy of the name of a minister in the center of power.

Therefore, whether he resigns depends on Li Ye's attitude.
