In front of the Taiji Palace, countless civil and military officials stood together, discussing with each other, the early dynasty had not yet begun, but the gossip in the court had come out. After all, these people naturally care about things related to themselves and their family's future.

"I heard that His Majesty didn't sleep all night last night, just to prepare for today's canonization ceremony?" A red-clad official whispered to his colleagues, with a hint of anticipation in his words.

"Isn't it? Last night, Lord Li Fu was on duty in the political hall, and His Majesty also sent a bowl of eight-treasure porridge to him, and His Majesty trusted Lord Li Fu very much! Another official was more envious.

"I don't know how many people Your Majesty will canonize this time?" The red-clothed official sighed: "I followed Your Majesty too late, and I have made very little credit, otherwise, I would have been able to get a marquis this time." ”

"You are really joking, most of the feudal marquis are military generals, these reckless men followed His Majesty's side to fight in the north and south, so that there is today's Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty will not reward them, who else will be rewarded? Will the generals be willing? Look over there, tsk, those generals have taken advantage of it this time. Another official's eyes glanced at the military generals on the side, with a hint of disdain.

"It depends on them to fight the world, but it depends on our civil officials to govern the world, wait! Look at the peacetime, how many people will be crowned kings? The red-clothed official said disdainfully.

Everyone next to them nodded one after another, this kind of large-scale reward will only appear in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and when it comes to the era of peace, the role of military generals will be greatly reduced, not only that there are few wars, but more importantly, in order to balance the needs and prevent the dictatorship of military generals.

"Smack!" Suddenly, the whip sounded, and the sound of drum music sounded, and the sound of discussion stopped in an instant, and all the civil and military officials hurriedly stood in shifts and headed towards the Taiji Palace.

The first court meeting of the second year of Hongwu began on the second day of Li Jing's return to the court, and the largest reward of the Hongwu Dynasty also kicked off, which also showed that the Tang Dynasty opened a new page.

"I started the army from Ludi, and after a few years of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, I fought in the south and the north, so that I have today, these rely on the prestige of the ancestors, the second is for the soldiers, and the third is because of the merits of the people. Reward the duke as a knight. Li Jing looked at the ministers below with a smile, as if he could see through the hearts and minds of these people. He waved his hand, and saw the attendant come out with a holy decree in his hand.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Since ancient times, emperors have pacified the world, and they have relied on the strength of their military ministers; And Haiyu tranquility, Zhenlu class teacher, rest soldiers, feudal ministers, excellent travel and recuperation, appreciate the extension of the world, pet the rivers and mountains, and even the grand ceremony! Gongsun Sheng is loyal, restrictive, hard-working, and has the merit of the dragon, and now he is crowned as the Duke of Zhao Guo, and his teacher Luo Zhenren is the true monarch of Qingxu Miaoyuan! Chin this! ”

Gongsun Sheng didn't expect that the first holy decree was actually for himself, this holy decree was not just a holy decree, but it showed that the other party was the first of the heroes, if there was Lingyan Pavilion, it would also be in the first place. Rao He has a calm temperament, and he can't help but be a little excited at this time, so he quickly bowed to the ground and shouted long live.

"Mr. Gongsun has been following me so far, working hard, as it should be, get up!" Li Jing nodded, Gongsun Sheng has followed his side since he was in Ludi, giving advice for himself, Dingding Heshan has played a great role, as the head of the heroes, no one has said anything.

"Li Qiao, Marquis of Wu'an, led the army, expanded the territory, conquered the world, and had the merit of following the dragon, and was crowned as the king of Rencheng County!" The voice of the chamberlain resounded through the hall, shaking the hall, and the second place was actually Li Qiao, and he was crowned the king of the county, and the faces of the ministers suddenly showed a complicated look.

"The Emperor of Fengtian said: ... Prime Minister Li Fu, the minister of the clan, has the merit of coordinating yin and yang, and has the merit of following the dragon, and today he was crowned the king of Pengcheng County! As soon as the words fell, the faces of many ministers in the hall suddenly showed complexity, Li Qiao is the king of the county, and he is the head of the ministers, which means that Li Qiao's power has increased again, but will the strong Li Jing allow a county king to sit in the government hall?

Wang Pu's mouth was open, but he actually thought of something, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of strangeness, and Zhao Ding, Zhang Xiaochun and others on the side also quickly thought of something, and sighed slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Fu's face was calm, and the ancient well was unwavering, so he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

"Uncle Wang has handled the government and assisted me for many years, if it weren't for Uncle Wang all these years, I wouldn't have had an easy time, Uncle Wang has worked hard." Li Jing looked at Li Fu and sighed slightly. Everyone is a smart person, and today's canonization of Li Fu as the king of the county means that Li Fu's Qilin Pavilion scholar is at the end. It is impossible for a county king to become an auxiliary minister, which is not conducive to the unity and stability of the government hall.

Of course, he can be canonized as the king of the county, which shows that Li Jing recognizes him, one is the prince of the clan, and the other is a courtier under one person and above ten thousand people, which one is more cost-effective, it depends on the ideal in Li Fu's heart. However, I think most people will choose a county king, after all, it can be passed on to future generations and shine on the lintel.

After Li Fu, Zheng Guogong Zhao Ding, Liangguo Gong Zhang Xiaochun, British Gong Lin Chong, etc., were all entitled, whether they were present or not, they all got knighthoods, and they were all happy for a while. Maybe these people are dissatisfied in their hearts, but at the very least, they don't dare to say anything on the surface, even if they are dissatisfied, they are only aimed at the ministers around them, and they don't dare to target Li Jing, the world is fought by Li Jing.

"The generals, ministers, and soldiers were sealed, and the decree was passed on, and the generals and soldiers in the army, including the families of the victims, were canonized from ten to fifty acres of Yongye land each." Li Jing looked at the many ministers below, and said with a smile: "It's just that these fields are not in the Central Plains, but in the grasslands and overseas islands, Qingyang Hou Lu Shisang is leading the army into Liuqiu Island, there are many lands on Liuqiu Island, and now most of them are indigenous people, and they are not good at farming, and after seizing Liuqiu Island, these lands can be given to the soldiers, and the soldiers have the right to use the land." The imperial court also did not have to levy taxes on these lands. ”

"Your Majesty." If it is placed in the Central Plains, I am afraid that the land in the Central Plains is not enough, only if it is placed overseas or in the grassland, there can be so much land, and these people can be used to develop the local area, even if they do not collect taxes, but they can also prosper around, and it will still bring benefits to Datang.

"For the soldiers who died in battle, not only should they be nurtured by their descendants and the elderly, but they should also be taken care of in all aspects, without the sacrifices of these people, there would be no Datang today." Li Jing said solemnly.

"Your Majesty is merciful." The crowd shouted again.
