Chapter 306: Soldiers?

On the high platform, Li Shimin sat down and couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian, and when he saw Li Chengqian's ugly face, he was not happy in his heart.

Directly signaled the scholars to come to Ji to read the will:

Awarded the rank of meritorious. If you are not excellent, there will be no persuasion award. Now destroy Xue Yantuo, who has meritorious service from the battle and the battle arrays of all armies, and listen to the accumulation of high grades.

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard the edict, what does this mean by rewarding meritorious deeds?

Then he began to read the list of meritorious soldiers.

Li Ke, King of Wu, Li Shiji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Li Daliang, General of the Right Guard, and Zhang Shigui, General of the Tunwei......

Originally, I thought that this pilgrimage was just a process of worshipping the envoys of the feudal domains on New Year's Day, but I didn't expect Li Shimin to come first to reward meritorious deeds.

If you want to say that Wang Qun is useless, when he was in Chang'an, Qiu Shenji had already monitored the Taiji Palace, and Li Chengqian could know what was happening around Li Shimin.

Now Li Chengqian and Li Shimin live together in the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, but they don't know anything about such a big thing as Li Shimin's meritorious deeds.

The most hateful thing is that in the end, all the middle and low-level generals who followed Li Shimin from the south to the north to fight generals, even partial generals and other generals, were awarded special titles, but none of the generals who followed Li Chengqian from north to south were promoted, no matter how much merit they had.

Li Chengqian's face became more and more ugly, but Li Shimin's side became more and more happy. Especially after the official announced the decree, when all the entitled generals stood on the high platform and saluted him together, Li Shimin stood up from the throne happily and laughed.

Li Shimin took a few steps forward and looked at the generals below saluting respectfully, and waved his big hand: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers straightened up.

"Haha...... I have such loyal and brave soldiers, how can the world be uneven? How can Siyi not be appeased?......" Li Shimin delivered his speech with great anger, but his eyes drifted to Li Chengqian, whose face was ugly, from time to time, and secretly said in his heart: Today, I will let you know how to buy people's hearts!

Of course, Li Shimin didn't plan to let the generals of the East Palace completely separate from him, after all, they were all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, he just wanted to teach Li Chengqian a lesson and regain some face.

So in the end, Li Shimin still said in front of the ministers: "The generals of the East Palace have also made meritorious contributions to follow the prince, but this time they did not report the merit book in time, and they cannot be sealed in one piece, so they only need to return to Chang'an to sacrifice to the Taimiao and then seal it." ”

Li Chengqian's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and it was clear that because of Li Chengqian, he would not seal you for the time being.

After the meritorious soldiers are sealed, the next item is for the leaders of each department to worship the Khan.

The generals returned to the original train, and Li Shimin also returned to the throne, waiting for the leaders of the various departments to come to worship in turn.

The first to enter the courtyard were the leaders of the Turkic tribes, and the Turkic tribes of the three tribes outside the courtyard surrendered the earliest, and this time the destruction of Xue Yantuo was a meritorious service, so Li Shimin was the first to meet them.

Seeing several leaders of the Turkic tribe walking in side by side, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, which seemed to mean that he was saying that if you did a good deed, let them have another internal dispute.

"Ministers, see Tian Khan!"

"Presumptuous!"

Seeing that several Turkic leaders were still wrapped in animal skins, and they just bowed down in the face of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian couldn't hold back any longer.

He took a step forward and scolded angrily, looking at the faces of several Turkic leaders with frost on their faces.

When several Turkic leaders saw that Li Chengqian was angry, they threw all the etiquette taught by the Ministry of Rites out of the clouds, and hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground to make a five-body bow to Li Shimin.

But when Li Shimin saw this, his face sank like water: "The prince must not be rude!" ”

Li Chengqian turned around, held back his anger and bowed to Li Shimin on the high platform and said: "The leaders of Yidi who are the emperors don't know the etiquette, and the sons and sons specially teach one or two. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is nothing wrong with them bowing down." Zhongshu Sheren came out with a gloomy face.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian slowly turned around and looked at Lai Ji with disdain, and shouted: "Seeing the king bow down and salute with his fists in his fist, it is the gift of my high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty. You open your eyes and see where they look like high-ranking officials of my Datang?"

In the past year, Li Chengqianguang has ordered more than 10,000 people to be beheaded, and the killing aura on his body is extremely heavy.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, 'If you enter Huaxia, if you go out, you will Yidi', since they have attached the Tang Dynasty, they should treat it as a person from the Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling had to stand up.

Li Chengqian heard the anger hidden in his eyes, and said coldly: "Liang Guogong, you are confused, right?"

Fang Xuanling was stunned, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so fierce now.

"The prince is rude, don't retreat quickly!" Li Shimin hurriedly spoke out to suppress Li Chengqian.

Today's ceremony was carefully designed by Li Shimin, in addition to destroying Goguryeo in the future, he really can't see any more glorious moment than this time, how can he allow Li Chengqian to destroy?

But Li Chengqian is also anxious, there is still a big drama to sing later, if he can't explain Hua Yizun's humble argument clearly, how can he sing the drama later?

Li Chengqian didn't reply, and directly scolded Li Shimin: "My father has always claimed to be able to admonish him, why did my father order my son to retreat before he spoke?"

"You, you are rude to the minister!" Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Li Chengqian pointed at Fang Xuanling and said loudly: "It's this minister who is incompetent. ”

Below, whether it is Wenchen and the military generals, they all gasped when they heard this.

Did you hear that right?

Fang Xuanling is incompetent?

Fang Xuanling was still calm when he heard this, but Li Shimin was laughed at angrily, and looked at Li Chengqian coldly with a smile: "I want to hear how Fang Aiqing is incompetent?"

said that he really sat back and waited for Li Chengqian's next words.

Li Chengqian saw that this was exactly what he wanted, so he looked at Fang Xuanling fixedly and said: "Liang Guogong said that they have attached the Tang Dynasty, and the Lone King should regard it as a person from the Tang Dynasty. ”

As he spoke, he stared at Fang Xuanling with two eyes, stepped forward and said loudly: "I want to ask Liang Guogong when did you treat them as Tang people?"

Fang Xuanling was about to answer, but saw Li Chengqian take another step forward, pointed to a few Turkic leaders lying on the ground and asked, "Are the Tang people dressed like this?"

When the ministers in the courtyard heard this, they couldn't help but look at the several Turkic leaders lying on them, and felt that the Tang people really shouldn't dress like this, but when they thought about them, the Turks ......

Fang Xuanling was Fang Xuanling in the end, and in the face of Li Chengqian's almost strong questioning, he still said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but in the end they are Turks.

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "Oh! That is true? Since it was the Emperor's decree that the Emperor obeyed his customs, don't you know that when they meet the Heavenly Khan, they should bow down to the ground with five bodies?"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately concluded, how could it be reasonable to engage in double standards.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, they are now coming to worship me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, naturally they will perform my Tang Dynasty salute." Lai Jiqiang argued.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he sneered and said: "Come to Zhongshu, since His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to perform my Tang Dynasty salute, why don't you tie your hair and change clothes?"

What kind of Tang courtesy is it that you don't tie your hair and make it easy to wear?"

Come to Ji Wen Speech.

Li Chengqian didn't let him go, and pressed tightly: "These people are all assassins who were sealed by order of the imperial court, don't they have official uniforms?"

"Alright! Tell them to go down and change into official clothes, and then go to worship. ”

Li Shimin saw that today's affairs were entangled again, so he could only stir up this worship ceremony, and let the Turks change into the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty to worship, and it would be good for the historians to write it down in the future.

When Laiji heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to take these Turkic leaders down, and then hurriedly went out to inform the other leaders to change their clothes.

Li Chengqian turned around and bowed to Li Shimin on the high platform and said, "Father Emperor Shengming!" But Erchen still has a few words to say. ”

"Humph!" Li Shimin snorted angrily and turned his face away, saying that he didn't want to listen to him.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian took it as Li Shimin's acquiescence, and continued to walk slowly in the middle of the room while saying to the crowd: "Today, the lonely king did not deliberately disturb this worship ceremony, but to explain a little reason to everyone......

The ministers of civil and military affairs present had never seen such a cheeky person, and they all listened to Li Chengqian's speech with great surprise.

"You can recite what kind of scriptures you go to on any mountain, and in China it is natural to talk about benevolence and love for the people, but when you go to the land of Yidi, you must follow the rules of Yidi, and don't get something out of place."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling said: "For example, what Liang Guogong did today, talking about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty with a group of Yi Di with left hair, even the resurrection of Confucius can't educate Yi Di." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please be cautious." Hearing that Li Chengqian even pulled out the sage Kong and whipped the corpse, Yang Hongli couldn't stand still.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Yang Hongli solemnly and said, "Why did the Lone King say it wrong?" Confucius traveled around the world and no one used him, why didn't he go to the north to educate Yidi?"

A group of ministers were speechless, and their faces were ugly.

Li Shimin on the high platform was also as face-like as the bottom of a pot, and said again: "The prince retreats!" ”

Li Chengqian was about to say the key point, but how could he step back. said directly: "Erchen's words haven't been finished yet." ”

Then he turned to Yang Hongli and said: "Confucius never said that Zhou Li could educate the barbarians, he only said that Guan Zhong could defeat the barbarians with his troops. 'Micro tube Zhong, I am all wearing left hair. ’

This is where the wisdom of Confucius lies, unlike you stupid people, who talk to barbarians at every turn. ”

"Ahem", looking at Li Chengqian's teeth and claws, Li Shimin couldn't help but remind him with a cough.

In the Tang Dynasty, "Mencius" was not popular, so the ministers did not enjoy the sophistry of the dead duck's mouth, and half of the civil officials in the court blushed when they heard this, but they couldn't say a word.

"It's the same now, Datang has always been polite to Xue Yantuo, and has never lost them in terms of etiquette, but what is Xue Yantuo doing?

is waiting for an opportunity to invade Datang. ”

Li Chengqian was a little angry when he said this, and looked at Fang Xuanling and the others and asked loudly: "If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty warriors who fought to the death against Xue Yantuo regardless of their lives, would you still be able to stand here and talk to the Mobei tribes about etiquette and benevolence?"

These words clearly showed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the way Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling dealt with the Mobei tribes.

But at this moment, both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling felt that Li Chengqian was too open-minded, and his words and actions were too extreme.

If he hadn't been the crown prince of the dynasty, and in front of so many people, I'm afraid he would have been scolded for being brainless, how could he have the heart to think about whether what he said was right or not.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Li Chengqian turned around and asked the general: "Why do you think you should talk about etiquette with the Mobei tribes?"

Although the generals were unwilling, they were all wealthy people, so they naturally did not dare to stand up and support Li Chengqian at this time.

Li Shimin, who was on the high platform, looked at Li Chengqian and said for a long time, no one agreed, and he was in a good mood.

Just when everyone in the courtyard, except for the generals of the East Palace, thought that Li Chengqian was alone, a Qianniuwei suddenly ran in from outside and said loudly: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of soldiers have gathered outside Lingzhou City to ask to see Your Majesty......"
