Now above the court, Prince Qizhu only has two people, King Xu and King Yu.

Over the years, these two people have also made meritorious achievements, and King Tang is a monarch with clear rewards and punishments, and he will not refuse to reward these two people because they have wolf ambitions.

The true holy monarch will not be stingy with rewards, and the way of controlling people, regardless of character, the meritorious should be rewarded; Whoever has done the wrong will also be punished.

Only in this way should be the way of the king.

Tang King Li Muchen has always adhered to this, the empire will be thriving, prosperous for a while, and even more chaste and prosperous, it can still be seen that Tang Wang is a qualified and good emperor.

And King Xu and King Yu have also made a lot of contributions over the years, if they are mediocre, how can they be crowned the Prince of Qizhu? It can be seen that these two people have also done something.

Merely......

For Li Changsheng, it has only been a few months since he came to Chang'an City. has just gotten married, and his political performance is also mediocre, and now he is named the prince of Qizhu and concurrently serves as the household servant, so it's amazing.

Prince Qizhu didn't say anything, and the household servant assisted Shangshu to assist in handling the relevant government affairs of the household department. That's the money bag in charge of the Empire.

How do you say a word? Oh yes, "petty officials are hugely greedy", in important positions, even small officials can become giant corrupt officials.

The household is the beauty that everyone yearns for, and dealing with money all day long, it makes me feel excited to think about it.

King Changping only won the first place in the Great Martial Arts Trial. There are some achievements, but King Tang's reward is too heavy.

King Xu gave a look, and sure enough, someone stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the method of rewarding this is inappropriate."

The person who spoke, the official residence Taishi Ling, his profession is in charge of drafting documents and ordering hundreds of officials, of course, his main responsibility is to record historical books.

"Tai Shi Ling! You are in charge of the annals, how can you disagree with my decision? Tang Wang asked.

Taishi Ling Zhang Qian is the person of King Xu, and it is not a secret in the court, over the years, King Xu has tampered with a lot of history with the help of his hands, which erased a lot of the achievements of King Yu, and added a few of his own merits to the history books.

Although the status of historians is not so high, who doesn't want to leave a name in history, especially those nobles and princes, who want to leave a strong mark in the long river of history.

"Although the minister is a historian, he is also an official of the court, Your Majesty's law is inappropriate, and the minister should bring it up." Zhang Qian said.

There are ministers who oppose it, and it was expected by Li Changsheng that it touched the forbidden area of the interest faction, and they will inevitably stand up to block it.

"What about Tai Shiling's rebuttal?"

"According to the minister's words, Your Majesty's reward is too heavy." Tai Shiling said, "I don't deny it, although King Changping is meritorious, he is also the Prince of Sanzhu, if he is promoted by leapfrogging, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm everyone's hearts." ”

Some people have worked hard all their lives and have always been a scribe, but Li Changsheng was promoted to the prince of Qizhu and the head of the household because he won the top prize in the big martial arts test, and he was promoted to the prince of Qizhu and the head of the household.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites also stood up and said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Zhang said is very true, King Changping won the champion and won face for the court, and he should be rewarded, but he should not exceed the rules." ”

The Ministry of Rites is the place where the rules are the most, not to mention the belonging of the Ministry of Rites, from the perspective of etiquette, it is indeed inconsistent with etiquette.

"The minister also felt that this law was inappropriate, and since ancient times, he has paid attention to 'rewarding meritorious deeds', and made rewards and punishments according to meritorious deeds. The biggest taboo is to rely on your heart. ”

……

Not only did King Xu's people oppose it, but even King Yu's people also opposed it, although King Yu thoroughly investigated the drought in the south and was no longer in court, but those interests absolutely did not want their rights to be diluted.

Seeing the voice of rebuttal above the court, King Tang did not change his tone and listened carefully to what each of them said.

There is no refutation, no approval, no remarks.

There was a lot of chatter in the audience, and there were few people who spoke for King Changping, and it was also seen through this incident that Li Changsheng had no connections in the court.

If you want to gain a foothold in the government and the opposition, you must establish your own faction, and the struggle between the party and the henchmen cannot be avoided by that dynasty.

Even the Holy Virtue Emperor can't be eliminated, and since it can't be destroyed, why not use it? Constrain each other through the parties.

When the voices of the courtiers fell, Tang Wang asked: "Listed as a minister, have you finished speaking?" If that's all I say, then I have a few more words to say. ”

The emperor has already spoken, and there are still those who don't have long eyes to stand up and speak, unless they don't want to live.

After a while, seeing that all the ministers had nothing to say, Tang King Li Muchen slowly spoke: "I listen to all the ministers who oppose my reward. I don't blame you, I am very pleased that you can say the most direct thoughts in your heart, which shows that the monarchs and ministers of our empire can speak frankly with each other. ”

The king of Tang is the king of Tang, and the ministers are ready for Li Muchen to refute them, but they didn't expect the first thing people said. But it's to praise everyone.

This act is surprising, although I know that this is the king's trick to control people, but there will still be a faint touch in my heart.

This kind of touch is what Tang Wang wants, both grace and power, and both soft and hard talents are fundamental.

"Just listened to what you said. It is not that the credit of King Changping is too small, and some people say that 'on meritorious deeds are rewarded', since you have said so, I will have a good debate with you. ”

The ministers of the court and the central government all know that when Li Muchen, the king of Tang, was a famous debater when he was young. But there are few enemies.

"According to what you said, winning the first place in the 'Great Martial Arts Test' is not enough to be rewarded, but what does this mean?" Tang Wang asked.

All the ministers nodded, it is true, King Changping has made great achievements. They may not have much to say.

However, the champion of the great martial arts test is undesirable for ordinary people, and for those who hold important positions in the temple, it is as big as a sesame mung bean, which is really difficult to enter the eyes of the law.

"That's right. You are all ministers entrusted with important tasks by the Tang Dynasty, and your official character is supreme, and you really look down on the petty officials who are not in the stream, and it is not a great merit? ”

King Tang did not deny what they said, and they were right, in Chang'an City. Officials are not officials, and there are countless princes and nobles.

"Then I ask you, how much is the face of the court worth? And how to calculate the credit? ”

Everyone was puzzled, how could this have something to do with the face of the court?

A minister said: "The Tang Dynasty stands at the top of all nations, and it should be a model for all nations, and its face asks how can it be calculated with money and merit?" It's priceless. ”

Tang Wang snorted. Said: "It doesn't count. ”

"Now, King Changping has won the champion of the Great Martial Arts Test with his own ability, raised the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, let the ministers of all countries see the strength of the empire, and boosted the face of the Tang Dynasty, do you still think this merit is small?"

There is some truth in this. The prince concealed his identity, won the champion, and overwhelmed the crowd, which undoubtedly contributed to the face of the Tang Empire.

"This ......"

The ministers were in a trance, and King Tang's words were like a slap in the face, and they were stunned all of a sudden.

The regional competition has risen to the national level. This statement is inevitably a bit exaggerated, and the ministers who stayed out of the matter, such as: Chu Suiliang, Lin Dong and Song Rubing, they were the henchmen of the Tang King, and they maintained a neutral attitude from beginning to end, so they listened to the words of the Tang King. All of them showed a sly smile.

Tang Wang's henchmen all know that he is the best at sophistry, and after careful thinking, it is not difficult to find that this is Tang Wang's sophistry, but as a person in the bureau, they can be insiders. But it is difficult to see through for a while, and this is the so-called obsession with the authorities.

King Tang spoke again: "Putting these aside for the time being, let's talk about whether King Changping's exploits are really as you say, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

"Your Majesty, please show me!!"

All the ministers said together.

"The Great Martial Arts Test is an important competition for the selection of talents in the empire, and it is the foundation of our country, in the eyes of the ministers. What can't Dawu calculate? But let me ask you, what is behind the prosperity of a country? ”

"Some of you are also from poor families, and now that you live in a temple, is it possible that the parents who raised you are also small and light?"

The body is skinned, the parents are received, they are from a poor family, and the day of the phoenix is not forgetful.

Tang Wang used this as a metaphor, but it is also very ingenious, at this time, if anyone dares to refute, it is unfilial.

Those who are not filial are all spittle.

"I think you already know that there are spies involved in this great martial arts test, trying to kill the young people of the empire, if it weren't for the King of Changping to suppress the audience, the spirit snake plan was shattered, so the credit is also negligible in your opinion?"

Spirit Snake Tissue. A terrifying organization whose existence seeks to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and usher in a new era.

Therefore, the extermination of the Spirit Snake Organization has always been an urgent matter for the imperial court.

Any major event that disrupts the organization's plans is definitely a great achievement.

If it weren't for King Tang's mention, many people would have almost forgotten about it. Blocking the spirit snake's plan to infiltrate the interior of the court is definitely a great achievement.

Sure enough, many people had nothing to say, because the words of King Tang were irrefutable.

Li Changsheng said: "What I said, do you still think that the credit is too small? ”

After Li Muchen's heated debate, the people present really had nothing to say, which was worthy of being able to speak well, and everyone present had nothing to say.

Having nothing to say does not mean that you are convinced.

At this time, Chu Suiliang stood up and said: "The minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

"The prime minister has something to say."

"According to the minister's opinion, your lords feel that the reward is too high, Your Majesty thinks it is just right, why not compromise, and be named the Prince of Wuzhu, isn't it beautiful?!"

The golden mean, again.

However, this time, Tang Wang did not refuse, and even showed a smug smile, as if it was planned.

"Okay, I'll obey the prime minister's wishes, and crown King Changping as the Prince of Wuzhu, do you have any opinions?"

"There is no objection from the ministers."
