Chapter 212: A Sudden Reward

Shanglin Yuan has now placed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In just one year, from the original 3,000 people to tens of thousands, Li Shimin desperately saved the money in the palace and spent all the money on these soldiers and horses. Every once in a while, Li Shimin would personally go to teach these soldiers to ride and shoot. For the sake of this, isn't that what Luo Yan said?

Handing Luo Yan's recital to Empress Changsun, Li Shimin said with some excitement and sadness: "You can also take a look at the last point." When Empress Changsun took it over and read it carefully, she said to herself with a complicated feeling: "Although you scolded me this time, you were right." Although this rapprochement will continue, I think that in a few years, I will definitely do all this as you said. ”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists.

On the side of Empress Changsun, she has always adhered to the principle that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Even if Li Shimin agreed, he only read the last few sentences. has followed Li Shimin for so many years, and the eldest grandson of the person next to him doesn't understand it, and after reading Luo Yan's words at this time, he also felt a lot in his heart. "I didn't expect that Luo Yan was the first to oppose sending troops to the Turks, but now he would say such things. The concubine still wants to see him. ”

Turning around with a wry smile, Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson: "It's not just you, but even I look down on him." Originally, I thought that if what he said was unreasonable, he would have to clean him up. Unexpectedly, I watched myself being scolded and praised thousands of words, but I couldn't even get angry because of dozens of words. Speaking of this, Li Shimin himself was laughed. Empress Eldest Sun also said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Jun Ming is virtuous, so this is a sign of prosperity." ”

In the face of such praise from his most beloved, Li Shimin was also a little colorful. However, he quickly calmed down and said to the eldest grandson: "Luo Yan's words are indeed reasonable. It's just that now that harmony is an established fact in the court, if I change the order of the court, it will be a loss of the way of the king. What's more, this time the harmony is not exactly like what he said, Yu Datang has no benefit. ”

"Your Majesty can discuss these things with the important ministers of the court." Empress Changsun would not give Li Shimin ideas without authorization, so she hinted.

How could Li Shimin not know the thoughts of the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "You." Luo Yangang has only been in office for a few months in Golden State, and it is not good to change functions too frequently. In this case, the New Year is approaching, so he will be rewarded with a hundred pieces of money, five horses of silk, and a hundred copies of the rare books in the Hongwen Museum. But these words were said to the scholars around him. In these years, there are not many people who can have the courage to swim against the current, and Luo Yan is already worthy of Li Shimin's reward with just one sentence.

After speaking, he muttered to himself: "If it weren't for his temperament still being a little jumpy, I really wanted to call him to my side." ”

Fortunately, this sentence was whispered, that is, even the eldest grandson Wujian didn't hear it, otherwise it would have caused a lot of waves in Chang'an. What does it mean to be handed over to the side, that is, to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven. In addition to the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven also served as the scholars and chamberlains. If you contact Luo Yan's rank, it is an official position like Zhongshushe and Julang.

If those who thought that Luo Yan had lost his position heard it, wouldn't their jaws drop at this moment.

When the Zhongshu Province received the will of the Zhongshu Sheren, everyone was puzzled. This is a reward for no reason, and it is clearly out of place. And the object of the reward is Luo Yan, who has recently made trouble, does Li Shimin want to tell people in this way that Luo Yan has not fallen out of favor? After reading the documents, there were immediately old ministers who came out to strongly oppose it, and there were not a few people who should make peace.

Although he has some friendship with Luo Yan, Fang Xuanling can't suppress the opposition of these people under him. In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Li Shimin with the holy decree that had not yet passed.

"Your Majesty, there is no reason or basis for Luo Yan's reward, and the Zhongshu Province has repeatedly discussed it and decided to reject it. I also hope that His Majesty Haihan. Although it was very polite, the result made Li Shimin stunned. There hasn't been much will these days, and Li Shimin actually forgot that Zhongshu Province disagreed, and he himself didn't have a problem.

There is no way, I can only explain it to Fang Xuanling.

"You don't draw conclusions too early, come, let you see the notes handed over by Luo Yan today." As he spoke, he handed it to Fang Xuanling.

This made Fang Xuanling stunned for a moment. Luo Yan's grade is not enough for his recital to reach the heavens, and under normal procedures, shouldn't he go through Zhongshu Province first, and then reach Li Shimin's hands? Why don't you know anything now, Luo Yan's performance is in the hands of Li Shimin.

Looking at Fang Xuanling's puzzled face, Li Shimin explained: "He handed it over through Keming's hand. You've heard of his ridiculous plead, and it's said that he's spent all day in Keming's mansion. ”

As soon as he heard Li Shimin's explanation, Fang Xuanling remembered that there was still such a stubble. Therefore, when he took over the song, Fang Xuanling also replied with a smile: "Didn't Your Majesty already greet both sides of that matter." After all, he was an official in the same dynasty, and Luo Yan was a little bullying the small this time. It only takes the third round for both sides to admit that they are tied, and the remaining two sides each write a poem, with Luo Yan's ability, it is not what he wants. ”

The implication of Fang Xuanling's words is that the questions of both sides are to stump each other, and their own side is ready, so it is not easy to draw with Luo Yan's ability? Although I can't say it, everyone knows what is boring in it.

"Haha, that's a lot of thinking. This time, Luo Yan, this kid, really plans to let Du He play in person, thinking that he is a little arrogant, and he can't do anything next. Li Shimin, who had a brief chat with Du Ruhui, knew the inside story, although he had not yet learned of the existence of "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", but he was quite clear about other things. He didn't know what Luo Yan did every day, but how could he not know Luo Yan's basic living time.

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Fang Xuanling was a little curious, and almost had the idea of going to see it in person when the time came. But the most important thing at the moment is to clarify the reason why Luo Yan was rewarded. It seems that Li Shimin has made up his mind to reward, if the reason is not sufficient, it will not be good to make trouble between the monarch and the minister in the end. Therefore, I opened the music in my hand and looked at it carefully.

Looking at Fang Xuanling, I felt that this matter was a little intriguing. Li Shimin has a tendency to scold or something, seeing that most of them didn't say a good word about Li Shimin at all. On the contrary, there are some direct ironies, which make Fang Xuanling feel a little too harsh. Therefore, Fang Xuanling was a little hesitant, and when he hesitated whether to continue watching, he raised his head and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this is really a bit ......."

Fang Xuanling can't go on, I can't say that you are too fond of scolding.

To Fang Xuanling's surprise, Li Shimin urged him with a slight smile: "You continue to look down." ”

continued to read in surprise, and it was not until the last sentence that Fang Xuanling understood the reason why Li Shimin was not angry. has followed Li Shimin for so many years, how could Fang Xuanling, the character of His Majesty, not understand. The humiliation suffered by Li Shimin in the Turkic matter is obvious to all. Luo Yan used one sentence to cover up all the previous scolding.

If it fits Li Shimin's mind like this, if he is not excited enough to be rewarded, then he is not Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty. said that he would reward Luo Yan, and now the minister has no objection. It's just that since this note is unwilling to take it out, then it is necessary to find a more sufficient reason. Otherwise, even if the minister agrees, the Zhongshu Province will not pass. ”

"It's easy to do. You think that Luo Yan had merit in pursuing Wang Junkuo that day, but because of it, although the merit could not be reached, he had been punished, but the merit was not rewarded. No one would have said anything to reward such a little thing for this reason. Li Shimin is in charge of the overall situation, and a lot of such reasons can be found at any time. The reason given at this moment has been completely able to block the mouths of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

Nodding, Fang Xuanling bowed to Li Shimin, and then said, "Since this is the case, then Weichen will do it." I think that this reason will indeed not be opposed by the ministers. With that, he retreated on his own.

The process of reward is so fast that people are a little unbelievable. The day before, Li Shimin issued the decree to Zhongshu Province, and the next day, Feng Lilang brought a bunch of wealth to pull Luo Yan back from Du Ruhui's mansion. Hearing that Li Shimin had given him a lot of rewards, Luo Yan himself was stunned. originally thought that this time Shangshu was probably reprimanded by Li Shimin. I didn't expect such a result. But this kind of thing can be done once, and no matter how much I am afraid, it will make Li Shimin hold a grudge.

Luo Yan secretly calculated in his heart. Ignoring the fact that after listening to the holy decree, Luo Yan was confused, and the reason for the reward was Wang Junkuo. How much time has passed?

After thanking the Holy Grace, Luo Yan continued to supervise Du He's reading of poetry with full of incomprehension.

In the evening, Luo Yan waited for Du Ruhui to come back, and then asked him privately for the reason. After listening to Luo Yan's question, Du Ruhui laughed and pointed at Luo Yan and said, "You, why are you confused again at this time." I've heard about your soothing, and your majesty was so angry that he threw it to the ground. It happened that Empress Changsun went and persuaded His Majesty. It's barely hard to read. ”

After a pause, Du Ruhui said again: "The book in the room told me the most critical thing, although it is vague, but it will definitely solve your doubts." His original words were that Luo Yan ridiculed His Majesty so much, but he didn't expect His Majesty to extinguish his anger because of the last few words. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and he and Wei Zheng were able to do it to this extent. If it weren't for the fact that he was really out of step with the DPRK and China this time, he would have been able to send this book to the prefecture and county. ”

After hearing this, Luo Yan knew why Li Shimin rewarded him. It turned out that he couldn't let his performance get a bad head, but he said that Li Shimin's heart was in his heart, and this was the reward for being late.

Sighing, Luo Yan bowed to Du Ruhui, and then said: "Luo Yan understands, thank you Du Shangshu for this transfer." Fortunately, His Majesty did not burn his anger on Du Shangshu, haha. Fortunately, Luo Yan offered to leave. (To be continued.) )
