Chapter 46: Reward

On the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, the government and the opposition were shaken, and everyone was in danger, but fortunately, Li Shimin came up with the holy decree in time, so that the war did not spread further, and at the same time, he issued a series of generous orders, ensuring that if the prince's party was willing to change their ways, he would not be held accountable, so that everything returned to normal.

On the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and after the ministers bowed, they began to carry out a big reward.

I saw a little eunuch standing beside Li Shimin, reading aloud: "Pei Lin added 900 households, and before the passage was 1,500 households; The eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Junkuo, Wei Chi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other five people, added food; 600 households, the first 1,500 households; Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, the eldest grandson Shunde, Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and other six people added food to 500 households, and the first 1,400 households........... "read it down one by one, and read it for half an hour, and then it was finished.

Seeing that the important ministers below had no objections, Li Shimin cleared his throat and said: "All the important ministers in the court, those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have faults will be punished, the former prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi Li Yuanji, and the king of Yan Luo Yi gathered to rebel, and they should be beheaded according to the law, but God has the virtue of a good life, and the father is also merciful, so he specially exempts the three of them from capital crimes, demotes them to concubines, and imprisons them in the palace of the king of Qi, and they are not allowed to leave the palace without a will!" ”

After talking about the treatment of the prince and others, Li Shimin paused, his eyes swept over the ministers, and saw that they were as docile as lambs, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "There is another thing, this time Li Jiancheng and others rebelled, almost hurt my family, thanks to Li Siyuan of Jingyang County for timely rescue, they did not let them succeed, and this son has made suggestions for the country many times at a young age, and now he is specially named the founding county, and the official worships the prince and the general Ningyuan!" There are 600 households in the food area and 800 acres of Yongye field. ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, a person from Wenchen's side immediately came out and raised his voice to object: "His Royal Highness the Prince, by all means, Weichen has also heard of Li Siyuan's fame, but this person is just a farmer, from a poor family, your reward is so rich, I am afraid that it will make people think that His Royal Highness has the heart to support the poor family and despise the nobles!" Please think twice, Your Highness! ”

"Please think twice, Your Highness!" After the man finished speaking, a large number of officials from the family and nobility suddenly knelt down in the court.

Raising his eyes and looking down, Li Shimin suddenly became angry in his heart: Okay, you Wei Zheng, you are originally Li Jiancheng's party, I don't care about you, but you kick your nose in the face and make trouble for me!

"This matter is settled, no need to discuss it again! And I also want to tell you, whether you are from a poor family or a noble family, as long as you are a truly talented person, I Li Shimin will appoint them all! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Shimin's temper, and the thing he decided was that ten cows couldn't be pulled back, so he hurriedly took the lead and knelt down: "Your Highness Shengming, talents are not distinguished from high and low, with Your Highness, my Datang will inevitably last for generations!" ”

Although those ministers were unwilling, they could only shout: "Your Highness Shengming! So, Li Siyuan's reward was set.

In the afternoon of the same day, someone went to Li's house to read the holy decree, and when they arrived, they happened to see that their family was eating in their burned house.

"Li Siyuan came out to take the order." A duck chirping voice came into Li Siyuan's ears, and he hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and listened respectfully to the contents of the holy decree.

"Disciple: There is a man from Jingyang County, Li Siyuan, who has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and the special reward is ........" The eunuch read the reward again, and said with a smile: "Li Xianzi, get up quickly!" The miscellaneous family was ordered to come to announce the decree, and when he left the palace, the six-eared father-in-law had all ordered, let me say hello to you! Li Xianzi, you were knighted at a young age, this is the first time since the founding of our Tang Dynasty, I can count on you to take care of it in the future! ”

"My father-in-law has an overreputation, and the kid is just lucky!" After finishing speaking, Li Siyuan took out a gold bar from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch, the eunuch made a gesture to refuse, Li Siyuan continued: "This is happy money, father-in-law, don't be too little, you can take it!" ”

"Then the miscellaneous family will not be polite to Li Xianzi, Li Xianzi, if you have no other instructions, the miscellaneous family will go back to the palace to reply to the decree!"

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, please ask father-in-law to say hello to the six-eared father-in-law for the boy!"

The eunuch arched his hand: "I must bring it, then Li Xianzi, we will have a period later!" ”

"There will be a period later, father-in-law go slowly!" After Li Siyuan and the others watched the eunuch leave in the carriage, Mother Li immediately stepped forward to take the holy decree and read it over and over again.

Li Sande glanced at it and walked up and patted his son's shoulder: "Good boy, all of a sudden, this official is bigger than his father!" Hahaha....." After saying that, he laughed and walked away.

"My son is out, and he was knighted at a young age, now it's okay, you can be regarded as having a successful career, so hurry up and kiss Sisi!"

Seeing his mother's relieved face, Li Siyuan also said with a smile: "Of course, getting married is going to be done, but you have to repair the house!" ”

While talking to his mother, Li Siyuan took the holy decree again and looked at it, and then pursed his lips disdainfully, Li Sisi saw this and asked curiously: "You are not satisfied with the reward of the imperial court?" ”

"How can I be satisfied with such a little thing, a knighthood, a secretary, a loose official, except for 800 acres of Yongye fields, there is nothing useful!" Li Siyuan said depressedly.

"Bastard boy, just say some nonsense, take out these things casually, I don't know how many people will break their heads for these official positions, you don't have to be cheap, and you are still selling here!" Mother Li snatched the holy decree and scolded.

"Yes, you are now the youngest county in our Datang, so don't be greedy!" Li Sisi also said on the side.

Glancing at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depressedly, Li Siyuan wisely chose to shut up, but he shut up, but Li Sisi asked: "You just said secretary, what is a secretary?" ”

"Secretary, it's just a chores, haven't you heard that sentence? There is something to do for the secretary, nothing to do for the secretary! After finishing speaking, Li Siyuan raised his eyebrows at him, looking very lightly.

"You're talking about the middle house, right? Although it is a little harder, but when the prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, I don't know how many people are staring at this position, you don't want to be cheap and obedient like your mother said! After finishing speaking, Li Sisi didn't forget to glare at him.

Li Siyuan looked at his fiancΓ©e's coquettish appearance, and thought beautifully in his heart: This era is really good, the beauties here are molested, and they don't know what it is, it's really a man's paradise!
