Chapter 56: The court will be rewarded
Chu Ze slept very well this night, the conditions at home were good, Chu's mother bought a new quilt for Chu Ze, and after the sun, it was warm on his body, with a taste of sunshine.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the sister-in-law had already begun to prepare the family's breakfast, the elder brother Chu Qing was helping in the kitchen, the early riser was running around in the yard, and Chu's mother was sweeping in the yard with a broom.
Chu Ze stretched out his waist and came to the yard, and found that he had gotten up late, blushed a little, coughed embarrassedly, and took the forage to add it to the month.
Chu's mother said with concern, "Ze'er, why don't you sleep more, you've been working outside for so long, why don't you sleep more?" ”
"Sleep well," Chu Ze's face turned even redder.
Looking at this small farmhouse courtyard, Chu Ze thought to himself whether it was time to rebuild the house, before the elder brother had not yet started a family, and the family didn't feel anything when they were huddled together, but now that the elder brother has become a family, the small courtyard is a little small.
Chu Ze made up his mind that when he got the money from the sale of wine by the Great Demon King Cheng, he would renovate the small courtyard to make the family's life better.
After eating at home, under the reluctant gaze of everyone, Chu Ze rode up the moon and ran towards the place where the army was stationed.
Seeing Chu Ze coming, Li Jing handed a stove to Chu Ze, and said with a smile, "I thought your kid would arrive in a while." ”
"How can I make Uncle Li wait for a long time." Chu Ze bowed and said.
After the generals were converging, Li Jing took the lead and led everyone towards Chang'an City.
Outside the Suzaku Gate, there were already many people waiting at this time, and everyone was curious about who the young man who was following Li Jing was.
When Wei Chigong saw Li Jing and the others arriving, he shouted loudly, "Chu boy, you are good, this battle was fought beautifully." ”
Chu Ze said embarrassedly: "Guogong praised it falsely." ”
A voice that seemed to be pinching his throat to speak came: "Ministers, go to the palace!" ”
Chu Ze followed everyone towards the main hall, the whip sounded, and at the edge of the hall, the musicians began to blow the sheng and ring the bell, playing the shao music praising the holy monarch and the virtuous ministers, and the attendants sang loudly with the music. Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others held wat boards, led the ministers to roll call in turn, entered the hall one after another according to the shift, and stood still in the Taiji Palace.
It stands to reason that Chu Ze is not qualified to go to the palace, but as an important meritorious person of this great victory, Chu Ze must go to the palace to accept the reward.
The civilian and military attaches were lined up in two columns, with a clear distinction, and Chu Ze and Cheng Chuliang stood at the back of the generals.
It stands to reason that Chu Ze is not qualified to go to the palace, but as an important meritorious person of this great victory, Chu Ze must go to the palace to accept the reward.
The whip sounded again, and there was movement behind the hall. First, two living quarters came out, they were the attendants who recorded the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, and they stood in the two corners of the hall. This was followed by a group of ceremonial officials holding fans, swords and other ritual instruments. When the ceremonial officer stood up, the melody of the sacred music suddenly rose up to welcome His Majesty Li Er.
Not long after, His Majesty Li Er walked out of the back of the palace, wearing an ochre yellow robe and a flat-legged head, which was the uniform of the Son of Heaven. Worn on His Majesty Li Er, the indescribable majesty and sacredness are like a real son of heaven. Born noble, he has been in the top position for a long time, and he shows the majesty and domineering of the upper position, Chu Ze sighed in his heart, "It is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages!" ”
His Majesty Li Er sat down, the ministers saluted in unison, His Majesty Li Er accepted everyone's kneeling, declared that he was exempt from courtesy, everyone knelt behind the desk, sat upright, bowed his head and lowered his eyes in solemnity.
His Majesty Li Er's majestic gaze swept over the entire court, and he enjoyed this feeling very much at this time.
"Ministers, play!" The slightly feminine voice just now sounded again, and the sound of brilliance filled the Taiji Hall.
Fang Xuanling began to preside over the whole set of ceremonies, began to recite the congratulatory messages that had been prepared to praise the emperor and the imperial court, summarized all the work done by the imperial court, the achievements made, and generally introduced the main planned tasks after that, which was actually similar to the government work report of later generations. Everything is carried out in accordance with the relevant regulations and in strict accordance with the procedures.
His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne and listened with relish, proud of the achievements of the Tang Dynasty under his rule.
Finally, when Chu Ze was about to fall asleep listening, the ministers finished speaking, and the next business was about to begin, and all the ministers in the hall understood that the focus of this court meeting was to reward the victory of the Tuyuhun War.
His Majesty Li Er spoke majestically: "All the ministers are dedicated to national affairs, work hard for the country, assist me in governing the world, and have made remarkable achievements. ”
All the ministers shouted in unison: "Obey the order!" ”
Looking at His Royal Highness's ministers, His Majesty Li Er said, "The Tuyuhun people have been Koubian all the year round, bullying my country, insulting my people, treacherous, and people and gods are angry!" I obeyed the will of heaven, sent troops to suppress the thieves, and the generals sincerely cooperated and fought bloodily to have such a glorious victory as my Datang.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has attached great importance to military merits, and paid more attention to the clear distinction between rewards and punishments. With such a big victory this time, all the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded!"
After hearing this, the generals were all in good spirits, especially the generals who participated in the Tuyuhun War, they were all extremely excited; The victory this time is very big, His Majesty Li Er has never hesitated to reward, and this time it will definitely not be bad.
"Your Majesty, this expedition has achieved an unprecedented victory with very small losses, and Tuyuhun has surrendered the whole country, this is Your Majesty's wise decision, and all the soldiers have worked together to kill the enemy desperately to achieve such results!" Fang Xuanling came out first and patted His Majesty Li Er's ass.
Then the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and others also jumped out and patted the ass of His Majesty Li Er, and the entire court was a scene of hello, hello, hello, everyone.
After the ministers patted their asses for a while, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand happily to signal everyone to be quiet.
"This great victory, played the prestige of my Datang, played the prestige of my Datang, I am very relieved, as the commander of the Xihaidao march manager Li Jing, made a great contribution. It does not fail in its mission, carefully arranges, strategizes, and breaks the valley. ”
Saying that, His Majesty Li Er paused, looked at Li Jing and said, "Pharmacist, you have to take over the position of the right servant of this Shangshu!" ”
Li Jing came out of the queue and knelt down in the tunnel, "The minister is old, and he has an old illness, I am afraid that he will be embarrassed by the great responsibility, and I ask Your Majesty to take back the holy order." ”
"Pharmacist, please get up quickly, this battle, such a brilliant record, as the commander of the army, how can you not be rewarded? The pharmacist is not going to excuse himself. ”
"Your Majesty, although the minister still wants to share his worries for His Majesty, but he can't do it himself, and I ask Your Majesty to recuperate at home!" Li Jingchang couldn't kneel down and resigned.
His Majesty Li Er hurriedly asked the chamberlain Li Jing to pick him up, and then said, "Since this is the case, if I force it again, it will really be against humanity, and I will allow you,"
His Majesty Li Er sighed and agreed to come down, but for Li Jing, he added 500 real food estates, rewarded 2,000 horses of silk, and 20 catties of gold.
"Minister Li Jing, thank God!"
followed by everyone's reward, Chu Ze listened to it roughly, and still took Li Daozong as the secretary of Xingbu, and awarded the rank of general of the town army, plus 500 households; Hou Junji was still the secretary of the military department, awarded the rank of general of Huaihua, and added 500 households..........
After a series of rewards, Chu Ze still didn't hear the rewards of himself and Cheng Chuliang, but Chu Ze was not worried, Li Jing let himself go to the court with him, and he would definitely not have no rewards if he wanted to.
Finally, after a while, "Shanshan Dao marching military captain Cheng Chuliang, young and loyal, good temperament, excellent performance in the Tuyuhun War, crowned the right military guard lieutenant general, special general Qinghe princess to marry him, to be married to adulthood!" ”
Cheng Chuliang smiled and thanked His Majesty Li Er, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Chu Ze, under the command of the general manager of the Xihaidao march, performed exceptionally well in this campaign, and several battles of Liangzhou City, Chishuiyuan, and Dafeichuan were all its main achievements, and the special seal of Yangquan County, 300 households of food, and 500 taels of gold..."
"Chen Chuze, thank God!"
Chu Ze followed everyone and stepped forward to salute.
After the reward for the expedition was completed, he said something that was not nutritious, and His Majesty Li Er announced the dissolution of the dynasty.
