Chapter 264 Zhang Xuan and his subordinates' rewards
"Okay, don't make any noise, this palace has its own opinions." Li Heng waved his hand indifferently.
"Zhang Xuan led the soldiers of Longshuo to open up territory for my Tang Dynasty, which is a great achievement, and it must be praised and rewarded. The title of the military department can be increased, and it is inappropriate to control the soldiers and horses of the three towns. Each of the three towns has its own marshal, and if the imperial court gives Zhang Xuan the right to control the soldiers and horses, I am afraid that Geshuhan in Hexi and An Lushan in Fanyang will be dissatisfied with the imperial court. β
"Someone came, pass on the edict of the palace: Jin Feng Zhang Xuan is the prince of Pingxi, plus the crown prince Taibao, the title of the military department, and the Pingzhang matter under the Tongzhong Shumen, and concurrently serves as the governor of Longshuo and the general manager of the Helong marching army, and has full authority to resist Tubo."
As soon as Li Heng spoke, Yang Guozhong's eyebrows raised, but he also slowly lowered his head again.
And Chen Xuanli, Zhang Jiyong and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief [Mo Prince Taibao, the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Soldiers, and the Pingzhang of the Tongzhongshu Menxia are actually all fictitious positions, Zhang Xuan originally opened the palace and the three divisions, these are just the icing on the cake, adding some more glorious and dazzling halos to Zhang Xuan personally.
It's just that he has been crowned a prince β In the past ten years, the Tang Dynasty rarely canonized a king with a different surnameβ‘ since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Xuan is the first one.
Chen Xian shook his head secretly, he didn't think so, he saw the problem more far-reaching.
Don't look at these false titles on Zhang Xuan's head, they are just in normal times, but at critical moments, these can play an important role, which lays the groundwork for Zhang Xuan to control the country's soldiers and horses in the future.
With these titles, he can legitimately dispatch troops and horses across the country.
So far, Zhang Xuan has replaced An Lushan and become the first feudal town in the country. If the whole country comes to the court and the court gives a banquet, Zhang Xuan, although he has the least qualifications, will definitely be in the first place.
In fact, Yang Guozhong's original intention was to let Zhang Xuan be crowned king. But he knew that if he directly proposed to be crowned king, he would definitely be opposed by the ministers, especially Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiyong, so he changed his angle to retreat into advance.
Temperate the soldiers and horses of the three towns, the military power is too heavy, don't say that Chen Xuanli and others oppose it, even if it is Li Heng, he will never agree.
But Zhang Xuan can't help but be rewarded for such great achievements, so according to the current situation, it is inevitable and the most appropriate to be crowned king.
"Give Zhang Xuan a thousand taels of gold, ten cars of silk and satin, and a hundred altars of imperial wine, Taichang Temple will expand Zhang Xuan's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion according to the prince's system, and the palace will be completed within one month, and the palace will personally go to unveil the plaque for the Pingxi Palace. Pingxi Wangfu is set up outside the merit archway, civil officials get off the car, military generals dismount, no one is allowed to trespass. β
Li Heng then said slowly.
Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiyong exchanged a shocked look, feeling that Li Heng had also been relieved, and it was enough to be favored enough to make the prince, and he even wanted to expand the palace and set up a merit archway for his ministers' mansions, which was the first time in Chang'an City, right?
The two didn't know that Zhang Xuan's status in Li Heng's heart had skyrocketed at this moment, and it could even be said that he felt a little bit like Zhang Xuan. The military power will definitely not be given to Zhang Xuan again, because Zhang Xuan will also become the second An Lushan: but if the military power is not given, he will try to compensate from other aspects.
Zhang Xuan sent a generous gift of "opening up the territory" before he ascended the throne, which was his political achievement as the prince of the prison country, and it played an irreplaceable role in his prestige. Think about it, the old emperor is known as a martial artist, but he has not obtained an inch of land from the hands of the Tubo people, and he, the crown prince, has been able to seize the land of Tuyuhun's hometown within a radius of 500 miles in less than a year and include it in the territory, what glory and brilliance it should be!
This is Li Heng's mood at the moment. As for the fact that he had listened to Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiyong's cups and Li Fuguo's secret music, and was ready to dismiss Zhang Xuan's military power, it was a different mood.
At this time, Zhang Xuan, with his great merits, made him, the soon-to-be-emperor prince, suspicious, unable to be suspicious, so he could only continue to reuse and give gifts.
"Canonized Feng Chong as the governor of Longshuo, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the two rivers: canonized Zhang Xun as the governor of the Longshuo Metropolitan Mansion, Lingwu Taishou and knew the political affairs of Longshuo: canonized Guo Ziyi as the general of Lingwu, the Marquis of Dingyuan: canonized Li Guangbi as the governor of the Hejiao Governor's Mansion, and the commander of the soldiers and horses of Liangning Prefecture,
The Marquis of Anguo and the Taishou ...... of Liangning Prefecture" "The remaining meritorious soldiers in the army will be reported by the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the imperial court will be rewarded according to merit and added officials. β
"Quasi-Zhang Xuan set up the Hejiao Governor's Mansion and Dongxi Ningzhou in Tuyuhun's hometown, and will forever include this place in my Tang Dynasty territory! More than 100,000 people from the Tuyuhun tribe in Lingzhou were immigrated to Liangning Prefecture"
"In addition, the imperial court will send personnel to Longshuo on the same day to reward the three armies!"
Yang Guozhong smiled, bowed down and said, "Your Highness is wise!" The court rewarded Longshuo military horses, and the minister recommended two people to be envoys. β
Li Heng smiled, "Who?" "Your Highness, Li Tan, the king of Jianning, can be the envoy, and Li Bai, the doctor of Guozijian, can be the envoy. It is very appropriate for these two people to go to Longshuo to reward the three armies. One shows that the court attaches great importance to it, and the other shows the kindness of His Royal Highness. β
Yang Guozhong said with a smile.
Li Heng was stunned, he didn't expect Yang Guozhong to recommend his third son Li Tan. Li Tan is upright, young and steady, and is considered an old man among his sons.
Li Heng thought about it and thought it was appropriate, so he nodded in response. Li Heng was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, Chen Xian suddenly stepped forward and said......Your Highness, Hui Hui had sent 10,000 troops to help fight Longshuo, in order to show his merits, it is better to take advantage of the end of the year when the feudal towns enter Beijing to report on their work, His Royal Highness will officiate the marriage, and complete the marriage for Zhang Xuan and Hui Princess Su Hudong." β
Chen Xian stared at Li Heng meaningfully, the two eyes of the monarch and the minister met, Li Heng suddenly woke up, at the end of the year, all the feudal towns entered Beijing to report on their work, which was a good time for him to ascend the throne as the emperor, and chose to let Zhang Xuan come forward to persuade the feudal towns and courtiers from all sides, and then in the name of the old emperor to give an edict to Mu Chan, his emperor position did not run.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Heng nodded excitedly and said loudly, "Quasi-play." This palace is a jade,
into this marriage. Su Khan and Su Hudong, the princess of Hui Hui, were summoned to Beijing with Zhang Xuan at the end of the year, and the palace personally officiated for her marriage. β
Yang Guozhong suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, there is another matter β¨ Xuan wrote, saying that Li Fuguo, the superintendent of Longshuo, violated the military discipline of Longshuo, and during the period of temporarily acting as the governor of the capital, he wantonly issued government orders and military orders in Longshuo without authorization, which made the people's resentment boiling, and it has been taken down by Zhang Xuan" Zhang Xuan asked that Li Fuguo be beheaded to show the public to correct military discipline! Please send another overseer to the imperial court! β
The corners of Li Heng's mouth twitched. What Li Fuguo did in Longshuo, he didn't know, but he could guess it. Although Li Heng didn't want to kill Li Fuguo, at this moment, Zhang Xuan showed that in order to appease Zhang Xuan and Longshuo's army, he had to give up this internal prison.
Li Heng hesitated for a moment, and said coldly, "Quasi-play." Li Fuguo is in trouble with the army's heart, messing with my discipline, and he should be beheaded! β
After speaking, Li Henghuo got up and walked away.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Heng's third son, Li Tan, the king of Jianning, and Li Bai, the doctor of Guozijian, rewarded the Longshuo army and horse envoys for the imperial court of Zhengge's envoys, and arrived in Shuofang a month later, and the Shuofang soldiers and horses commanded the envoy Gu Huaien personally led the army to Lingzhou to escort it.
Li Heng's son, this is equivalent to the future prince, and he can be slack.
And those who rushed to Longshuo at the same time as the imperial court envoys were also representatives sent by the major feudal towns in the world to congratulate Zhang Xuan on his crown.
The first to come to Lingzhou was Jiang Wei, the partial general of Hexi Metropolitan Governor Ge Shuhan, followed by An Yuetao, the son of An Sishun, the Metropolitan Governor of Jiannan. Subsequently, Yang Qi of the Western Regions sent a subordinate general, Li Siye, and Cheng Qianli of Beiting also sent a civil official to the jaw. A representative of Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Henan, arrived with the imperial court.
Even An Lushan sent a congratulatory envoy delegation.
"Metropolitan Governor, General Li Siye of Anxi arrived on the orders of Yang Qi and Yang Shuai, Governor of Anxi."
Zhang Xun walked into Zhang Xuan's study to report to him, and he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to come forward to receive these envoys from the feudal towns. Jiang Zhi and An Yuetao, the son of An Sishun, who arrived before, and Zhang Xuan did not come forward.
"Who? Li Siye? "Zhang Xuan Huoran got up and laughed" "Mo Dao General Li Siye is here, this handsome man has been famous for a long time, when he personally greets him, he has a glimpse of Mo Dao General's demeanor!" β
Zhang Xuan had such an attitude, Zhang Xun was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Governor, why do you favor one over the other?" β
"The envoys from various towns will wait for the arrival of the imperial court delegation a few days later, and they will be invited to a banquet together, so it is not possible to talk about favoritism. As for this Li Siye, Ben Shuai has admired him for a long time, he must not see β it, Ben Shuai did not leave the house to greet him, Master Zhang, you take him to the main hall, and Ben Shuai will meet him. β
Zhang Xuan finally considered the face of the marshals of the towns, and dispelled the idea of going out of the mansion to greet Li Siye in person, and instead asked Zhang Xun to promote Li Siye to the living room and meet him.
This Li Siye is also a well-known Tang Dynasty general, leading the Modao Battalion of the Anxi Army to be unstoppable, and Zhang Xuan is indeed "famous for a long time" as a traverser. He couldn't see it so violently.
Zhang Xun accompanied a burly, square-faced, dark-skinned middle-aged general who strode into the living room, it was Li Siye, a famous general in the Anxi army.
Zhang Xuan got up with a smile and stepped forward to greet him.
Li Siye hurriedly glanced at Zhang Xuan, and bowed down with some flattery, "The last general, Li Siye, meet the handsome!" β
What is Zhang Xuan's identity, he is about to be crowned the king of Pingxi, and his status, rank and power are far higher than those of the marshals of the towns⨠Xuan can stand up to greet him, this is quite a high courtesy, after all, the difference in status between the two is too great.
Zhang Xuan smiled loudly and helped Li Siye up with his own hands, "Mo Sword General in the Anxi Army, this commander has long admired the name of the general, and when I saw it today, it was really majestic and brave, and the name was well deserved!" β
Li Siye smiled respectfully, "The handsome man is too famous, and the last general is really ashamed." β
Although he has some fame in the Anxi Army and has quite a lot of military achievements, what is he in the eyes of a powerful vassal like Zhang Xuan? Li Siye is still very self-aware.
"The marshal led the army to defeat Tubo, took the hometown of Tuyuhun, opened up territory for the imperial court, and made great achievements. The last general hereby by ordered by Yang Shuai, the governor of Anxi, to visit Longshuo to congratulate the marshal on his title of king! β
Li Siye bowed down again.
