Li Xiao stood on the fragrant manna hall, listening to the emperor's generous rewards to him, and couldn't help but increase his good impression of the young emperor behind the screen.

In the history books, Li Zhi is always one of the Tang emperors who has no sense of existence, compared to his grandfather, his father, his wife and his sons, he is actually an emperor with no characteristics.

In fact, in history, there are several men who not only became emperors themselves, but also their grandparents, wives, and even several sons became emperors. Several of his sons took turns to be the crown prince, and he also took turns to be the emperor, and even his crown prince, who died early, was later posthumously recognized as the emperor.

Grandfather is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, father is Emperor Taizong of Tian Khan, his wife is a generation of empress Wu Zetian, and his grandson is also Emperor Li Longji of Tang Ming.

Li Yuan is sad, Li Shimin is heroic, Wu Zetian is domineering, and Li Longji is also proud, perhaps because of this, Li Zhi, the emperor who made the Tang Dynasty reach the broadest territory during his reign, did not have much sense of existence.

Shot is a founding man, heroic and dry, Li Xiao thinks that Li Zhi is actually quite capable, ordinary people can fight with veterans like Changsun Wuji, and can they still win?

The founding baron of Lantian County, from the title of Wupin, falsely sealed 300 households.

Of course, the biggest advantage of this title is that after having the title, you will become a nobleman, enjoy many political privileges, not to mention any tax exemptions, and you can also give wives and children, so that children and grandchildren can enter the country to study, and when they grow up, they can go to the inner palace as a guard, and they can directly be awarded official positions, becoming a shortcut to the south without going through the imperial examination or recommending.

What's more, Li Xiao, the founding baron, is still a real seal, although it is a false seal of 300 real food and 50 households, it is also a good benefit, which is equal to two-thirds of the rent and tax paid by these 50 families for farming in the future.

In addition, the knighthood also granted the hereditary Yongye Field.

The baron has 500 acres of Yongye land, and he has 500 acres for nothing, and it can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is still a land that is free of rent and tax, such a good thing Li Xiao wants to laugh out loud.

For the succession of titles, the Tang Dynasty has regulations that the titles of non-Murozong can be hereditary if there is a special purpose, and if there is no special purpose, it is a downgraded title. Under normal circumstances, the first two or three generations are relatively small, and those who have no merit in the later generations are demoted to the rank of lord.

Compared with the title of the founding county man, the emperor gave him a third-order promotion, and Li Xiao didn't care too much. Loose level, just on behalf of this product.

Li Xiao is still a corn supervisor, still from the ministry of the sixth grade, and the loose rank is from the fifth grade, which does not affect him to be an official of the sixth grade, which is like those chief clerks in later generations, what is the deputy county magistrate at the department level, etc., in short, it is a high grade and a low position.

There are many such things in Datang, not only high-level but low-level positions, but also low-level but high-level positions.

Li Xiao is a person who will not be polite, he has always been an honest little gentleman, he accepts it if he likes it, and he will not pretend to excuse himself or anything.

Therefore, he happily thanked the emperor, and this time the thanking was quite natural.

Li Zhi kept looking at Li Xiao behind the translucent screen, and when he saw Li Xiao's happy look, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Okay, you are Li Xiao, the left one is not an official and the right one is unwilling to be an official, it turns out that in the final analysis, it is still a small official and a bad minister.

No, I didn't see him shirk last time when he was the corn supervisor of Liupin, and this time I saw the joy when he was crowned a county man.

It turns out that Li Xiao is also the same layman.

Li Xiao was promoted to the knighthood, and the other seven people were also rewarded.

Li Zhi sealed eight titles in a row, including Li Xiao, all eight of them were founding barons, each of whom was actually sealed fifty households, and each of them was promoted to the first to third rank.

Eight people, all of them were given silver scarlets.

These people are overjoyed, especially Qin Xiong, who is getting old, seeing that he is about to retire, he has fought for half his life, he has suffered countless injuries and has not received a knighthood, and now he is retiring but he has to be given a founding man. Lao Qin's tears of excitement were full of tears, and snot flowed down.

If Li Zhi wanted him to die for him at this time, it is estimated that Lao Qin would have no complaints. I have to say that it is worth it for the loyalty of a founding man in exchange for a veteran. In addition to getting a baron, Li Zhi also specially transferred Lao Qin to serve in the Yulin Army.

Li Yuanfang was also made a baron, and he is still the deputy superintendent of corn.

Although Wang Fangyi and Cheng Boxian are all children of famous families, after all, this title was earned by themselves, and they are still very excited.

Many thanks.

Li Zhi is full of ambition, such a young hero, he is all my confidants.

Xie En came out and stood outside the hall, everyone was still a little hard to believe, as if in a dream.

"Lantian County man?"

"Male from Jingyang County?"

·······

"Hahaha, knighted. Let's go, today I will invite guests to the East City Drunken Immortal Building, and I will not return if I am not drunk. Cheng Boxian said boldly.

Liu Jun reminded everyone that they should go through this procedure first.

He can't wait to change into a scarlet official robe, put on a whitebait bag, and it is best to ride a horse to walk around Chang'an Sixth Street for a few rounds, and it is impossible to show off his stinky appearance.

"I haven't gone to Liaodong yet, but I have to give Yinfei first, which is really a good sign." Xue Chuyu was also excited.

I went to the Ministry of History to receive the official notice, got the brocade silk notice, and got the crimson official robe and the silverfish bag, and there was a small silverfish in the silverfish bag.

This is the fish charm.

In the past, the previous dynasties were accustomed to tiger charms, but in this dynasty, because Li Yuan's grandfather was called Li Hu, in order to avoid secrets, he changed the tiger charm to a fish charm. The fish talisman is engraved with the identity and physiognomy of the officials, and this fish talisman is about six centimeters long and about two centimeters wide.

In particular, he is divided into two halves, left and right, and there is a zigzag mortise and tenon in the middle to fit.

This is a proof of identity, equivalent to an official's ID card, and it is also an invention of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

Only officials with more than five grades in Datang have fish charms.

The imperial court gave the officials above the fifth grade a fish talisman, the left talisman remained in the inner court as the base root, and the right talisman was carried by the holder as a proof of identity.

In addition to being an official's ID card, the fish charm sometimes also acts as a military charm, and even the number of left and right symbols is not necessarily treated, and the number is completely determined according to the number and needs of the user.

Its first function is not to identify itself, but to be a certificate of power, which can be used to mobilize the army and appoint and dismiss officials, which is supposed to replace the tiger talisman in the past.

Officials who have fish talismans, when they enter the palace, must also check the fish talismans to verify their identity.

Li Xiao touched the silver-white fish, and felt that the mold of the silverfish was too simple, and the whitebait was not too similar at all, but this kind of silverfish was cut in half, and there was a protrusion of the same word in the middle, so that the two fish fit in line with the design of the time, which was quite unique.

Checking the fish charm is the same as scanning the ID card, take out your own fish charm, and then take out the other half of the fish charm you stored, and the two fish charms are closed in the middle, if they are the same, they can be tightly sealed. If it is not the same pair, the position and size of the same word in the middle are not the same, and one side is convex and the other is concave, and if it is not closed, the verification fails.

I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, and the fish talisman is also specially engraved with the name of the holder and the official characteristics, and it is really difficult to get through the trick.

Officials above the third grade used fish charms made of gold, and also gave a golden fish bag to hold the fish charms. Officials below the third rank and above the fifth rank will be given a silver fish bag with a fish charm.

Officials below the fifth rank used copper fish charms, but no fish bags.

This fish bag is convenient to go out to do things with the fish charm, the requirements of the charm is not out of the bag, the bag is not separated from the charm, the officials to see the emperor, meet colleagues, go out to do business, must first show the fish charm, in order to verify the body, and then can be recognized and accepted by the other party.

Therefore, at this time, there are people who possess the fish talisman, and they are called to be called to the name.

Historically, when Wu Zetian was in the sky, he replaced the fish charm with the turtle charm. In the Ming Dynasty, the fish charm became a tooth card, and in the Qing Dynasty, the crown on the official hat was more obvious and easy to recognize.

"Congratulations!"

The officials in the ministry were full of smiles, and even the official complaint money, official robe money, and fish charm money were confiscated, and the new titles were given silver scarlet, but the emperor had confessed that their official notices and official robe money were all given by the emperor.

Liu Wen smiled and took out a handful of gold leaves, this guy was actually prepared, and even the reward was ready. Copper coins were inconvenient to carry and worthless, so he prepared gold leaves.

"This is a little tea and wine money that the eight of us give to everyone, and everyone will share it together."

"Don't dare, don't dare." The official who did the work said that he didn't dare, and pretended to push a few times, but he had already turned the cuffs sideways to Liu Wen, so that Liu Wen could easily stuff the gold leaf into it.

This can be regarded as an officialdom convention, and everyone is accustomed to it. Although the money was given to one person, the money must have been shared by everyone in the ministry.

Li Xiao estimated that those gold leaves were worth at least a dozen yuan, and I have to say that Liu Wen was really generous.

He really didn't have this idea himself, and he was unprepared at all. Fortunately, Liu Wen gave it directly for everyone, which saved him embarrassment. If everyone rewards and he doesn't, then it is estimated that the people in the ministry will remember him.

The officials received the money more and more politely, and there were people who talked and laughed to help with things.

"Chu Suiliang has been degraded to Tanzhou, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to Chang'an in this life."

"No, it is said that he was demoted to the governor of Tanzhou, but I estimate that he will definitely have to be demoted to a farther place on the way, maybe he will go to Lingnan."

"Actually, it's a pity that Zhao Zhiman is still a pity, but he is also a fierce general, and he actually ended up beheaded."

"Yes, when Zhao Zhiman was a guard in Chang'an, he was hunting with Taizong once, and when a tiger pounced on Taizong's mount, Zhao Zhiman pounced directly and killed a tiger with both fists. Later, when he went to the edge of Liangzhou Town, when he was fighting with the Turks, his horse was shot down, and he caught up with the enemy horse with his legs, kicked the enemy and the enemy and the horse to the ground, and then stepped forward with a knife and cut off the head of the Turkic general and brought it back. ”

"It's a pity that such a person might as well die on the battlefield at the border pass."

The words of several officials surprised Li Xiao, and Chu Suiliang was demoted to the governor of Tanzhou? And Zhao Zhiman is going to be beheaded?
