The scribe who swept Luo Yan's eyes was called Zhao Deyan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the Central Plains was in turmoil, the literati had no power to protect themselves, and this one was so ruthless that he actually threw himself into the Turks. Originally, the Turks were bitter and cold, and they were never liked by the people of the Central Plains, coupled with dietary habits and humanistic habits, etc., which made it difficult for the Turks to obtain talents from the Central Plains.

And most of those who have read books despise the Turks and such barbarians, who are willing to be grandchildren of the Turks.

No, Zhao Deyan, a second-rate scholar in the Central Plains, was immediately reused by the Turks after arriving in the Turks. Jieli has double trust in Zhao Deyan.

What makes Luo Yan feel funny. Zhao Deyan was accustomed to the life of the Central Plains, and brought the Central Plains' set of respectful and inferior etiquette and laws to the Turks. Originally, the nomads were free by nature and wild in nature, but now they were forcibly imprisoned by Zhao Deyan with so many confinements, Jieli felt happy, but his sons and daughters felt unhappy. It can be said that when Zhao Deyan was reused, it represented the beginning of Turkic civil strife

So Luo Yan had to be curious about such a strange character. Fortunately, this product can be regarded as making an alternative contribution to Datang, so Luo Yan is not good at saying anything.

Back in Chang'an, Li Shimin felt like he had fought a big battle. When the garrison arrived at the Turks, they had begun to withdraw their troops, and there were many scouts scattered along the road, watching the men and horses of the Turkic brigade slowly return to the grassland with the harvest from this trip, Li Shimin, who got the report, was finally relieved.

Everything is back on track. It's time to reward the heroes. Although some people's official positions were raised very high before, official positions and merit are not the same. According to ability and need, it is conferred on the officer; But according to merit, it is knighthood that is awarded. Official positions can be changed, but titles will not change as long as they do not commit the most heinous crimes.

Li Shimin formulated a very detailed ranking based on his previous achievements. On merit, Sun Wuji was the first, then Li Xiaogong, then Du Ruhui Fang Xuanling, and then Wei Chigong Gao Shilian...... In short, many civil and military forces, sorted one by one, are known to everyone, Li Shimin is based on the Xuanwu Gate as a reference, plus past achievements, this is the order.

Why do you say that. When the eldest grandson Wuji was fighting the world with Li Shimin, he basically had no credit. Gao Shilian not to mention, this martial artist has only been in Datang for five years, and he has missed the time since then, where are there any military exploits. Not to mention the merits of war, there is not much hard work.

But it's just that someone is blind and comes out to make a fuss. This person has no other, it is Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an.

This well-known and often defeated prince in the royal family, at this time, he had to make a fuss, saying that he had great achievements, why was he still ranked behind Fang Xuanling and other scholars.

For Li Shentong's trouble, Li Shimin did not have the slightest politeness, counted his defeats over the years, and robbed Li Shentong of all the whites, making him embarrassed. In the end, the eldest grandson Wuji and these people were all named the princes of the country, and they were actually given thousands of households.

But among these people, there is a reward that really surprises everyone.

Yes, it's Luo Yan.

Among Li Shimin's rankings, Luo Yan ranked ninth. There are so many heroes, all of whom are over 30 years old, and there is such a young man in his early twenties.

But people who know how this ranking came up are a little convinced that Luo Yan occupies the ninth, and some people even feel that the ninth is low. Looking at the performance of the eldest Sun Wuji in the change of Xuanwu Gate, it is not much different from Luo Yan, and he is ranked first. Not to mention Gao Shilian, he is still in front of Luo Yan.

Seeing that these people were all crowned the Duke of the State, Li Shimin also had a good intention, not only promoted Luo Yan to the author Lang, and was in charge of the Writings Bureau of the Secretary and Supervisor, and since then he has the qualifications to be a senator in the early dynasty, but also named Luo Yan as the Duke of the State, and actually awarded 900 households. It stands to reason that this reward is indeed worthy of such a reward.

However, to the courtier's surprise, Luo Yan's resignation came up the next day. The reason is unknown, anyway, I just insisted on not giving it. This embarrassed Li Shimin, how to fix it?

There was no way, so I called Luo Yan to say hello in person.

"Why isn't Qing rewarded?" Annoying, Li Shimin has a feeling of love and hatred for this courtier who often does not show his head, but resolutely cannot be underestimated.

"We're bold. The minister told His Majesty before that Weichen was young, and he was afraid that he was not talented and virtuous, and he was unwilling to enter. Luo Yan replied very respectfully. At this time, Li Shimin was already the emperor, although Luo Yan regarded him as an ordinary person in his heart, but this superficial effort still had to be done.

"In the case of Xuanwumen, Aiqing contributed a lot, and saved the widow's life, is this credit not enough for Aiqing to be a prince?" For meritorious officials, to be honest, Li Shimin is a good person in the forefront of history, and he killed Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, two people who took the initiative to rebel in the decades before and after, that is, Wei Chigong was arrogant and rude in the future, and Li Shimin also used some means to let him stay in the Guogong Mansion and live in peace, and his treatment did not change at all.

"The minister knew His Majesty's earnest intentions, but because of this, the minister was afraid and didn't dare to accept it. In the final Han generation, Han Xin, the king of Qi, was killed, and Zhou Bo, the marquis of Jiang, was imprisoned, is it just because the people are not benevolent enough? Holding heavy power, arrogant and unrestrained, the king does not punish him, and he is also proud to die. Weichen has one in twenty this year, his life is long, and once he has power in his hands, he can't get carried away. Your Majesty gave me a high-ranking official, but in fact gave me a way to die. "Luo Yan can't care about the suspicion of insinuating that Li Shimin is not Renjun at this time.

Li Shimin was furious after hearing this: "Aiqing looks at me like this." ”

Luo Yan was really anxious at this time, he knelt on the ground with sweat on his head, and said urgently: "It is precisely because I am afraid of losing Your Majesty's wisdom that the minister dares to refuse like this." In the past, how can the young always be steady, and once they lose their proportions, disaster will come. When the time comes, it's too late to regret it. ”

Li Shimin thinks about it, Luo Yan, to be honest, it is indeed too early for a prince to be a prince at this age. If there are any more merits in the future, will you always be rewarded with food? This is impossible, there must be a fixed number of food for the prince, and the wanton reward will damage the national capital. Is it even more impossible to give a county king in the end, and the foreign surname is not allowed to be crowned king, which is the rule of the common name for many years. Li Yi, who was named the king of Yanjun at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, is now a little uncontrollable.

So Li Shimin asked Luo Yan the reason for refusal, and agreed to Luo Yan's request. But agreeing doesn't mean that there won't be a reward, otherwise how will the DPRK and China view themselves.

After letting Luo Yan leave, Li Shimin called his brother-in-law.

"Auxiliary, you've heard about Luo Yan." In the face of the person he trusts the most, Li Shimin naturally speaks very casually.

"Your Majesty, don't say it's me in this matter, I'm afraid that the entire Chang'an City will be boiling at this time. Who has ever seen that he thinks he is an official, this Luo Yan is really too nonsense. The eldest grandson Wuji was also made to cry and laugh by Luo Yan's somewhat incomprehensible approach.

"I looked for him just now. Guess what he said? ”

"Could it be that he is not lucky enough to get in? It's impossible, Your Majesty's reward, naturally there is a credential, how can it be Xingjin, this Luo Yan is really too nonsense. Luo Yan had previously told Li Shimin that he was not fortunate to enter, and it was really rumored. Some say that Luo Yan sells straight, some say that Luo Yan is stupid, and some say that Luo Yan sells at a price. However, to this day, Luo Yan's approach does not violate his original statement.

There is a reason for that. But there is also a set of arguments, saying that he is too young, Chad's high position, if he gets carried away, he is afraid that he will become Han Xin's second in the future. You say that you are not angry, am I a mediocre person like Liu Bang? Li Shimin looked down on Liu Bang a little, although this is the founding emperor, but in the history books handed down, in addition to employing people, other Wen Taowu strategies are not good. Thinking about Luo Yan's remarks just now, Li Shimin was still a little angry.

This made the eldest grandson Wuji laugh, can he not be afraid of insinuating that Li Shimin is a faint king, so Luo Yan dares to do this. "Your Majesty is naturally different from Liu Bang, but what Luo Yan said is indeed reasonable."

Nodding, Li Shimin said, "I came to you for this matter." He doesn't want the country, and he doesn't want the food, but he can't help but reward it. But if the reward is less, it will also cause criticism, this Luo Yan, but it has given me a big problem. ”

"I have heard for a long time that Luo Yan has been alone since he was a child, but he was sponsored by his brother-in-law before he could study in Chang'an to take the exam. If not, Feng Luoyan is the founding county duke, and his food is added. Then he named his righteous brother as the founder of the county, and the food was as usual, in order to show his benevolence and righteousness. In this way, it can also make the courtiers have nothing to say. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's move can indeed be called clever. Everyone is working so hard, isn't it just to gain fame and seal his wife and son? Now that Luo Yan is alone, this letter to his wife is naturally an empty word, but in Luo Yan's network, there happens to be such a righteous brother, and what people do is indeed worthy of praise.

Since then, although the sum of the two people's food is indeed not as much as that of a national duke, it is a very generous reward to be able to pass on the reward of merit to others, so in this way, it can not only block everyone's mouth, but also tightly pull Luo Yan together.

The next day, Li Shimin issued a holy decree specifically for Luo Yan's reward. Feng Luoyan is the prince of Lujiang County, with 500 households, and he is still awarded the book. There is Feng Chang in Luzhou, many righteous names, and he is specially named a man in Shucheng County, with 50 households.

As soon as the reward came out, the government and the opposition shook. Everyone naturally knows who Luo Yan is, but who is this Feng Chang who suddenly appeared, everyone muttered. Someone who inquired carefully learned that Feng Chang of Luzhou was Luo Yan's brother-in-law. This time it was very lively, Li Shimin passed on the reward to his relatives, this is a precedent, everyone is warm in their hearts, for the sake of their families, they must also contribute well to the Tang Dynasty, you don't see it, Luzhou Feng Chang, just because of Luo Yan's relationship, he got a baron for nothing.
