What does it mean?

Li Yun's apprentice can't be sealed?

Do you old guy want to provoke him, don't you know that the lord of Bohai dares to turn his face against the emperor. Don't think that you are the great Zongzheng of the Li family, I am afraid that you will still fight if you provoke the lord of the Bohai Sea.

But seeing that Dazong was speaking again, he asked everyone with a smile: "The title of the lord of the country is a prince, so the apprentice should be lowered by one level, but what about Li Baiding, what about his reward?" ”

The ministers present were stunned again.

Oh, yes!

What should Li Baiding do?

Li Baiding is actually Li You, this is Li Shimin's own son, although his name was cut by Li Yun, but he was a prince before he was cut.

If you give a reward casually, the damage is Li Shimin's majesty, and then others will say that the dignified Tang Emperor guards the heavens, but the son born can only be a small lord, and the world will not ridicule Li Baiding's knighthood, people will only think that Li Shimin, the emperor, is incapable.

But it is also not okay to raise the reward, because things will also become unreasonable.

Why?

The reason is simple.

After all, Li You is no longer Li You now, but Li Baiding, a disciple of Li Yunmen, the master is still a prince, how can the apprentice overshadow the master. If the reward given to Li You is too high, it will damage Li Yun's majesty.

The seal was low, damaging Li Shimin's majesty.

The seal is high, damaging Li Yun's majesty.

However, one of these two people is the emperor and the other is a prince, and the entire Tang Dynasty has to rely on the two of them to support the façade, so Dazong Zheng will say, 'The disciple of the lord of the country, I'm afraid it will be difficult to seal', the real meaning of this is actually to say that I don't know how to seal it.

Li Shimin suddenly glanced at Li Yun for some reason, but found that Li Yun was also looking at him, the two of them looked at each other with some feelings, and suddenly turned their heads to look at Da Zongzheng at the same time, pretending to make a mistake: "Da Zongzheng can solve this matter?" ”

The two originally thought that Da Zongzheng must have a way, otherwise he would never ask a question in front of the ministers, but the old man shook his head suddenly, and said very simply: "The old man has no ability, I can't think of any way." ”

"Then you're talking!"

The crowd suddenly stood up with a goods, Li Xiaogong, the king of hob meat in the Tang Dynasty, but when he saw this goods, he seemed to be unhappy, and stared at Dazong Zhengdao: "Old man, I have seen that you are unhappy, Your Majesty called you out to solve the problem, but you opened your mouth and added a lot of trouble, do you want to be a big Zongzheng?" If you don't want to be, let me sit down! lest you occupy the pit and not, and be ridiculed for the lack of capable people in the Li royal family. ”

Da Zongzheng's eyes glared directly, and he scolded: "Rabbit cub, how can you talk? The old man is also your fourth uncle no matter what. ”

Li Xiaogong also glared at him, but when he saw this thing, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the civil and military officials, and said shamelessly: "You have to see clearly, now it is a court discussion, you and I are both courtiers, why do you come to uncle and nephew?" If you always want to go crazy and make a score, then you have to wait until after the dispersal of the dynasty, and then it will be beaten or scolded, you see me Li Xiaogong's teeth jumping half a 'no'......"

The implication is not self-explanatory, it clearly means that we are only talking about official positions now regardless of family affection, everyone is an official in the court, I don't need to treat you as an elder, as for whether you will find fault after the dispersal of the dynasty, it's a big deal that I Li Xiaogong squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and let you beat him, it's not that he hasn't beaten him, this is a routine operation.

The reason why Li Xiaogong gags, and even provokes regardless of the order of the elders and young, is actually very simple, he wants to change the topic of rewards.

Since there is a dilemma in the reward, then someone must stand up and block it, otherwise if it drags on like this, it will damage the majesty of Li Shimin and Li Yun first, think about it, an emperor and a prince, but they lost face by the reward, this is no longer a matter of damaging the majesty of the two, and the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty will be accused of having no ability.

That's why Li Xiaogong jumped out to make trouble and diverted the topic in an almost shameless way, in the past, most of this kind of thing was Cheng Yanjin's appearance, but now Cheng Yanjin is not there, and he can only bear it.

Li Yun understands this kind of black pot thing, and Li Shimin also understands it.

The civil and military officials present were silent, as if they were drowsy from the sun, and there was no fool who could mix with the court, and no one would jump out to show themselves at this time.

If you want to jump out to show off, you can solve the problem of rewarding first, otherwise jumping out will not be a show, and it is likely to provoke the emperor and Li Yun at the same time.

Just when everyone wanted to confuse this problem, suddenly heard that Dazong Zheng suddenly smiled again, and said: "Although the old man can't solve this matter, can't the Manchu Dynasty civil and military solve it?" If you can't solve all of them, then don't blame the old man for recommending a stunned young ......"

Uh-huh?

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

Li Yun's heart moved slightly.

This old guy has something to say!

Thinking about what he had just done, and listening to the current language, the old man clearly had a plan, and seemed to take the opportunity to nominate an appreciative person.

What kind of person the hell. Would you make Dazong so attentive?

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yun with deep meaning, Li Yun shook his head at the emperor silently, and the uncle and nephew communicated in an instant, and they both knew that the person who was recommended was not a hint from them.

Since it wasn't the two of them hinting at it, then it was Da Zongzheng's own meaning.

Li Shimin and Li Yun turned their heads at the same time, and the emperor was the first to ask: "I don't know where the stunned Qing is as Dazongzheng said?" ”

Dazong Zheng smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it to the side, this old man is not young, the strength in his hand is quite small, everyone saw him directly pull up a person, carrying the other party's neck and collar to move forward.

The person who was picked up shrank his head and shrunk his head, and at this time he was sneakily shrunk his head into his clothes, and his mouth seemed to be crooked twice, and he lowered his voice and complained: "Old man, you hurt me, what is this good opportunity?" I asked you to help me attract the attention of His Majesty and the Lord of the Bohai Sea, but I didn't ask you to ......roast me on the fire."

"That's all!"

Da Zongzheng's eyes widened, and he scolded: "You are the one who asks the old man, and you are the one who complains about the old man, who are you when you are?" Qinghe Cui's descendant? If you are the descendant of the Cui family, I am afraid you don't need the old man to help you find opportunities! ”

"I was looking for a chance to climb up, but I didn't want to find a chance to roast on the fire, since ancient times, gentlemen don't stand dangerous walls, I just want to do cheap things in my life, old man, what are you carrying me up for? You hurry up and take me back again......"

Dazong Zhengqi laughed angrily, and couldn't help but scold: "If you don't want to do something, go back and sit by yourself." ”

The person who was picked up by him was Cui Hao, who was still sneakily shrinking his head at this time, and said crookedly: "You took me out, Your Majesty and the Lord of the Kingdom have paid attention, if I sit back by myself, Your Majesty and the Lord of the Kingdom will immediately feel that I am a turtle with a shrunken head, so please take me back again, so that Your Majesty and the Lord of the Kingdom will think that I am helpless." ”

"Shameless!" The face of the bulk of righteousness is bulging.

Cui Hao still shrunk his head, humming and chirping: "Shameless is shameless, shamelessness is the ability, it was taught to me by your old man, and the way to be an official is the first priority." The younger generation is better than the blue, why do you old man scold and scold......"

His voice of complaint was extremely low, and at most two or three people around him could hear it, but Li Yun was born with super ears, and the corners of his mouth hooked unconsciously when he heard the words.

"This person is a little interesting......" The smile on the corner of Li Yun's mouth became thicker and thicker.

Li Shimin also seemed to have a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with deep meaning: "Maybe it's another Cheng Zhijie!" ”

The uncle and nephew glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of appreciation in each other's eyes, and suddenly their eyes became cold together, and they pretended to be Sen Ran and said to Cui Hao: "The grandstander is incompetent, and the one who disturbs the court will be beheaded immediately!" Incompetent, how can he be an official, where is Jin Wuwei left and right, drag out this troublemaker and cut it down......"

Aren't you bent on climbing up? I just gave you the big hat of an incompetent! Aren't you shrinking your head? I just scared you into dragging it out and cutting it!

Although Li Shimin and Li Yun were just scared, Cui Hao didn't dare to take scare as a scare, but when he saw this thing Ling Ling shuddered, his head that had been shrinking suddenly stretched out, and he roared urgently: "You can't cut it, you can't cut it, Weichen is a capable person, it's a pity to cut it casually." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yun and smiled and motioned for Li Yun to take over.

Li Yun smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly shouted at Qi Yanran, pretending to be angry: "Bring me my drum urn and golden hammer, and the main country will personally smash him into meat paste." ”

Smashed into a pulp?

Cui Hao was dumbfounded, his face was full of fear.

Where did this thing dare to shrink his head, and suddenly a righteous statement appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can Weichen sit back and watch His Majesty make difficulties, even if the future is full of difficulties, even if he fights for his life, the minister will move forward and be willing to drive the Tang Dynasty......"

What an iron-clad loyal minister's face.

Li Yun snorted, deliberately turned his head to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe it?" ”

Li Shimin pretended to hesitate, and said with doubts: "It sounds a little righteous, but I don't know what my ability is." ”

Li Yun followed closely and cooperated, and said: "If it is outstanding, it will naturally be reused, and if it is exaggerated, it will be killed if it is killed......"

The two of them are clearly still acting, and they deliberately act very fake, but unfortunately even if they are fake, what can they do, with their identities, the fake drama can become a real drama at any time.

Cui Hao didn't dare to let the fake play come true, at this moment he simply burst out with super initiative, but when he saw this thing crawling forward, he said with a hurried face: "The matter of rewarding people is difficult for everyone, but Weichen has a good strategy, which can be called a stroke of genius, Your Majesty, the lord of the country, we can use the ancient system, and the reward is no longer a problem......

Uh-huh?

Li Shimin's eyes moved slightly.

Li Yun looked thoughtful, and vaguely guessed Cui Hao's method.

Sure enough, I saw Cui Hao's mouth not stopping, and then he said: "In the ancient system, the emperor is the son of heaven, the supreme, the son of the supreme, the prince of the princes, the son of the prince, the king of the domain, give a single word, under the vassal king, for the county king, the county king gives two words, it is a second-class king......"

Fang Xuanling suddenly said, "This is actually not the ancient system that was too long ago, and all the dynasties have been using all the sealing systems in it. ”

"Not bad!" Cui Hao nodded hurriedly and said: "What Prime Minister Fang said is right, all dynasties will continue to use some ancient systems, so it is not abrupt for us to recover a little, and it can just solve the problems encountered in today's reward." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yun, then cautiously pointed to the two children Li Yun was holding, and first pointed to Hong'er and said: "The seventh apprentice of the lord of the country, female, if you are originally sealed according to the Tang Dynasty, you should be a second-class county lord, but after we restore the ancient system, the female apprentice of the lord of the country can be compared to the princess." ”

said and pointed to Li Baiding, and then said: "The eighth disciple of the lord of the country, male, if according to the original feudal system of the Tang Dynasty, only two words are given the title, and he is barely called the king of the county, and the title is slightly low, but if the ancient system is restored, the lord of the country is the prince, and the son of the prince is more than the vassal king, so Li Baiding can give a single word, and the title is still a first-class king." ”

This remark will not be a big deal in the eyes of later generations.

But in ancient times, it was a shocking thing.

Why?

Because this is to raise the reward of the entire Tang royal family to a higher level.

The son of the emperor is no longer a prince, but a prince.

The sons of the princes can be knighted, and their status is equivalent to that of the previous Tang princes.

It still doesn't sound like a big deal.

But if you think about it, you know how scary it is.

Why?

Because this reward system has an extra princely class.

If you want to give the princes, the first premise is to build a country, that is to say, there will be many more vassal states in the Tang Dynasty......

How to build a vassal state?

Where did the land of statehood come from?

Expand your territory!

If there are countless vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the prince, is the Son of Heaven above the princes, and as there are more and more vassal states, the Tang Dynasty will be upgraded to a huge empire.

Although the emperor now also calls himself the Son of Heaven, this Son of Heaven is actually a bit self-defeating.

Since the fall of the Yin Shang dynasty, barely counting the Western Zhou Dynasty, since ancient times, only the emperors of three dynasties can be called the Son of Heaven, which is the glory that only eight hundred princes can be qualified to enjoy.

Not only glory, but also strength.

The Tang Dynasty now has only one vassal state, and it is still in the process of building it
