Chapter 168: Emperor Taishang Cup Athletic Match
The most terrifying thing is that Yan Liben didn't know how to get the mold, there was a word on each wat board, such as "Liang", which was for Liang Guogong Xuanling, such as "Wei", which was for Wei Guogong Li Jing, this "Zhao" was obviously for Zhao Guogong's grandson Wuji.
The wooden box is very thick, so Leng Feng will not be burned when he holds it and rides a horse, and when he arrives at the Taiji Palace, the glass wat board can already be touched with his hands.
The emperor's ministers in the Taiji Palace have dealt with some government affairs, the most important of which is the revision of the criminal law.
Palace punishment, beheading, dismemberment, belly cutting, Ling Chi......... As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were these disgusting punishments, but Dai Xuan believed that the most fundamental meaning of the law was to restrain people's behavior, no matter how great the sin, it was only one death, so why torture the prisoner before death?
Amending the law, abolishing these corporal punishments, and giving pleasure to those on death row was also a merit and a sign of the reign of the "holy king."
Pulling the banner of "Holy King" is a good messenger, although Li Shimin has repeatedly said to the courtiers that he hates treachery and flattery, but he is still very useful when someone really pats him on the back.
Therefore, Li Shimin did not hesitate to pass Dai Guan's proposal, allowing the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department to re-sentence, many major crimes, the most evil beheading, the second evil hanging, that is, the major crime of rebellion, and only the main evil beheading, the second hanging, and not even the parents, wives and children, at most degraded to the lowly status.
For a time, all the officials in the court, including Wei Zheng, gave Li Shimin a sycophant.
It was not the right time for Leng Feng to come, Li Shimin saw Leng Feng coming in, and the interest just now retreated directly......... Gotcha, here's the trouble!
The eldest grandson Wuji still remembered the appearance of the generals choosing people to devour just now, and hurriedly got up to meet Leng Feng: "Oops! Gong Xi Guo, it's just a joke just now, how can you take it seriously........."
Leng Feng didn't answer Eldest Sun Wuji's words, he wanted to send the wat board down quickly.
"Oh, Zhao Guogong, you came just right, come on, come on, this first wat board is yours."
As he spoke, Leng Feng tentatively touched the glass in the wooden box, but fortunately, it was just warm now, not hot.
The eldest grandson Wuji took the wat board handed by Leng Feng, and the whole person was dumbfounded!
The Duke of Xi really has a glazed wat board!
Leng Feng glanced at the second one and said, "Yo, this is the wat board of the Fang Xiang, come on, come on, Fang Xiang, take the ........."
Leng Feng was there to divide the wat board, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the wat board in his hand, this is a good glass! Moreover, the whole body of the wat board is bright, and there is a raised "Zhao" character on it, and the edge of the word is a beautiful pattern.
The two sides of the wat board are smooth as jade, and the middle feels a little rough, and the ink characters left on it will not be intermittent. This alone is stronger than his jade wat board, because after he writes on his jade wat board, it will fall off many times.
Li Shimin watched Leng Feng give the hundred officials a wat board from the throne, and couldn't help but secretly curse why the emperor didn't need a wat board, there was only a piece of glass in his treasure house that was not round or square, and he spent a lot of money to get it in the early years.
Compared to the wat board that Leng Feng issued to the courtiers...... It's rubbish!
Stuffed the last wat board with the word "E" to Wei Chigong, and the number of princes in the court was one.
As for the rest, if you don't have it, you won't have it! They occupy the position of the prince of the country, but in fact, they are all empty.
At the beginning of the establishment of each dynasty, the heroes will be divided in a big way to appease their hearts, and Datang is naturally no exception.
The title of "Guogong", at the beginning of the establishment of a country, was actually the same thing as the "consolation prize" of the supermarket lottery, but it just sounded good.
There are also strong and weak national dukes, one is to look at real power: at this time, there are not a few people who have the title of national duke but no real power. And Fang Xuanling, Liang Guogong and Prime Minister, even if he does not have the title of Duke of Guo, he is also a big man.
The second is to look at the fiefdom food yip: like Leng Feng, there was no fief food before Leng Feng, so it is said that Leng Feng's "Xiguo Gong" is a false title, and Datang does not have Xizhou Xixian or something.
The third is to see if it is hereditary replacement: a serious title is only valuable if it is hereditary replacement, although when the son is a son, he will be demoted to become a county duke, but at least the son can have a worry-free life.
Leng Feng can't be hereditary, speaking of which, he didn't get the edict of the duke, and it's no wonder that Leng Feng was not famous in the court before. There are more princes, but the real bigwigs are sitting in front of the court!
After dividing the wat board, Leng Feng returned to Yu Chigong and sat down.
The Thunder Arrow and Thunder were exposed, and the Natural Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army were also exposed.
Leng Feng can now wear the name of "big guy" on his head, if not because of anything else, just because he has an army of 1,200 under his command!
At this time, those who had an army under them were definitely heavyweights in the court, because even Li Jing did not have the power to command the army in ordinary times.
Li Shimin jumped from King Qin to emperor by grasping the military power, how could he release the military power again, so just like Cheng Yanjin, the original commander was Zuo Wuwei, and now although he also commands Zuo Wuwei, it is only nominal.
Now, as long as it is non-wartime, the generals can only hide in the mansion to raise their fat, and cannot command the army to fight a single soldier, and commanding it is equivalent to a major crime of rebellion. Only when there is a war at the border pass, and after the emperor appoints it, they can play as they want.
(Ahem, it's far away, back to the court.) )
Fang Xuanling didn't expect Leng Feng to really get the glass, or this kind of crystal clear and ingenious glass that is not enough to describe. He held the wat board with the word "beam" on it, for fear that he would accidentally fall to the ground and break it, I am afraid that this thing is not available in the palace, and it can already be kept as a family heirloom.
Although Li Shimin was greedy on the throne, it was too embarrassing for an emperor to ask his subordinates for things in the court, so he could only ask someone to invite the emperor, and then he had to discuss the policy of "letting all the sergeants practice arrows and throw".
He thought about it all night, and he didn't think that this policy could be linked to "solving the boredom of the emperor".
Li Yuan returned to the court, and Li Shimin returned to stand at the bottom of the stairs.
After sitting down, Li Yuan said to Leng Feng: "Let's talk about it, the emperor said that it was your suggestion to let me go to the court this time, and also said that it was related to the strong army, I have been ignoring the government for more than a year, and today I was brought out of the deep palace by you, it is not an amazing policy, I will punish you for your crimes." ”
Leng Feng stood up, bowed to Li Yuan, and said, "Emperor Taishang, you have seen the two things of thunder arrows and thunder, and those who practice very often cannot use them proficiently. Therefore, it is necessary to find alternative ways for the sergeants to practice often. ”
Li Yuan nodded: "That's true, but what does this have to do with me?" ”
Leng Feng said with a smile: "The biggest component of my Tang army is the government soldiers, and they usually have to farm, so it is difficult to mobilize their enthusiasm for training archery and throwing, so Weichen has the cheekiness to ask the Emperor Taishang for some silver taels and hold the 'Emperor Taishang Cup Competition'." ”
"The Emperor's Cup?" Li Yuan was very interested in this competition named after him, and said: "Tell me in detail, what are the rules and regulations of this competition?" ”
Leng Feng said: "It's very simple, start the selection from the soldiers of the Zhichong Prefecture, the strongest one in a prefecture can get your reward from the Emperor Taishang, the winners of each prefecture in a state continue to compete, and the strongest in a state can still get a reward."
Until the winners of each province compete in Chang'an, the best government soldiers in the country can get the final reward.
I would like to give you the gold cup you drank as the ultimate reward, so I named this tournament 'Taishang Huang Cup Athletic Tournament'. ”
Thank you for the monthly pass of the flower language!
