Chapter 10 The Eternal Little Marquis
The closed palace gate, and then slowly opened, under the leadership of the eldest grandson Wuji, hundreds of officials divided into civil and military lines, Yuguan entered the palace gate, and after a while, he entered the magnificent Taiji Palace.
Zhao Chen's figure is mixed among the generals, he has no real position in the court now, and the positions in the school palace and the military academy are not considered to be officials, so if you have to count it, it can only be the general manager of Lingnan.
However, this official, military and political balance, is both a civil minister and a military general, in today's Li Erchaotang, it is relatively special, and it can be regarded as a precedent in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as the civil and military officials entered the main hall, they immediately divided into left and right, holding Chaobei in their hands, and stood respectfully on both sides, quietly waiting for Li Er to come out of the side hall.
That is, a moment later, in the side hall, there was a sound of footsteps, and then, Li Er, who was dressed in a rolling dragon robe, walked out of the side hall surrounded by a group of attendants.
"We're waiting for your majesty!"
The chamberlain in charge of singing in the early dynasty stood above the main hall, and as soon as the voice of singing fell, the ministers standing below, under the leadership of the eldest grandson Wuji, bowed respectfully towards Li Er, and the sound was like a tide for a while.
"Zhu Aiqing is exempt!" At this time, Li Er stood above the main hall, waited until the ministers bowed three times, then raised his arms and spread out to the ministers below, and the majestic voice came down from above.
The atmosphere of today's morning dynasty is obviously a little different from the past, in fact, from the beginning of Zhao Chen's arrival, he has already felt it, because, from the beginning to the end, everyone's eyes have almost looked at him from time to time.
Especially, when Li Er came out of the side hall just now, his eyes obviously glanced at Zhao Chen's side, although Zhao Chen still noticed Li Er's gaze through the pendant on the crown of Tongtian.
Well, it seems to be particularly exciting!
Thinking about what happened outside the palace gate, Zhao Chen was relieved, Wei Jing was right, Lingnan has always been in the eyes of the emperor of the Central Plains. It's a tough bone.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang worked hard and wanted to take half of Lingnan, but it was a pity. In the end, he was defeated, and in the smoke of mosquitoes and insects in Lingnan, he lost the lives of many soldiers in vain and returned home.
Think about the history of the Tang Dynasty that Zhao Chen is familiar with, the entire Lingnan. It has never been controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and later, in the hands of Wu Cao, Wu Cao was bent on taking Lingnan, and the incident of Tu Feng would happen in the end.
Even so, it is only to get rid of the Lingnan Feng family, the big canal commander, as for the actual control, it may not be, it will only be the Lingnan society that was originally okay. It's just completely disrupted.
And now, Zhao Chen has single-handedly, in the past few years, not only got rid of several major canals in Lingnan, but also because of the reasons of Nanfuzhou, the society in Lingnan is almost heaven and earth compared to before.
Now, with the capture of Lingnan, the territory of Datang. Even if it really extends to the sea, if you take the Western Regions again, then the territory will really be perfect.
It's just that Zhao Chen deals with things in Lingnan. I never thought about anything else, but at the beginning, I thought that the wingmen who moved south could have a place to stay.
Later, because of the matter of the hidden gate, I thought about pacifying Lingnan. Give the hidden door a relatively safe environment, but now looking at the atmosphere of the early dynasty, Zhao Chen's heart suddenly reacted.
Back then, in the Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Gongjin united with Shuzhong and had a decisive battle with Cao Cao in the Red Cliff, which led to the later three-point world.
And now, he is alone, going deep into Lingnan, like a lonely hero, killing the Lingnan commanders without leaving a piece of armor, and with the strength of one person, he forcibly captured the entire Lingnan.
Compared with Xiao Qiao's first marriage, the high-spirited Zhou Gongjin, his glorious image can directly blind Zhou Gongjin.
Thinking about it in a mess, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and when he looked at Li Ershi above, his eyes suddenly became hot.
Looking at the posture before and after, Li Er is clearly preparing to reward him, but I don't know how Li Er will reward him next.
Being rewarded by Li Er is always a pleasant thing, although he knows that with Li Er's family background, he may not be able to reward him with anything that makes him happy, but Zhao Chen is still full of expectations.
If you don't reward a princess, if you go out in the future, you should be called the grandfather of the country, like Lao Qin, wearing a purple robe, with a jade belt in his eyes, and he is more energetic.
Zhao Chen was still below, dreaming of Li Er's conferral of conferring the title of his country, but Li Er above had already called someone, moved out a huge screen, and put it in front of the ministers.
As several eunuchs put down the heavy huge screen, when everyone looked up, they saw that the screen was not painted with anything else, but a huge map.
And the eyes moved up the map, and at the top of the map, two extremely eye-catching big characters appeared - Lingnan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have seen it clearly!" Li Er, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, had been sitting there quietly since he moved the screen, and it was not until this time that he spoke.
Hearing Li Er's words, everyone who was originally looking at the screen withdrew their gazes, looked at Li Er in the main hall, and listened to Li Er's words quietly.
"This map was drawn by someone after I received the news of the great victory in the south of the Chang'an Houling!" Li Er sat there, his gaze swept over the faces of the ministers below, and finally stayed on Zhao Chen for a moment before continuing.
"It took three days for the painter to draw this map!" Li Er retracted his gaze, looked at the ministers below again, and said, "However, I have spent hundreds or thousands of years in the world here!" ”
As soon as Li Er's words came out, the ministers below couldn't help but be stunned, even Zhao Chen couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Li Er with an inexplicable face, and said in his heart, how long have you Li Ertong lived, and you have to wait for hundreds of years.
However, this kind of doubt was only for a moment, and then, Zhao Chen reacted suddenly.
Whether it is Li Er or all the emperors above Li Er, aren't they all known as the Son of Heaven, so, according to this statement, as the emperor of the Central Plains, he has indeed waited for hundreds or thousands of years.
Li Er's tone, when he said this, began to become sad, starting from the Qin Emperor back then, and counting the difficulties that his peers had encountered during the southern expedition that lasted for hundreds or thousands of years.
The ministers below were all depressed, and their faces looked like they had just lost the battle, and their expressions were almost tears on the spot.
Zhao Chen listened to Li Er's story at first, and his emotions unconsciously became low.
As a later generation, Zhao Chen naturally knew in his heart that many large areas of land that later generations were accustomed to, in fact, were just a barren land back then, and they were all fought by the ancestors, with blood and sweat, one by one.
Therefore, combined with the knowledge of later generations, and listening to Li Er's narration again, Zhao Chen's heart became depressed for a while, and unconsciously, he fell into what Li Er said.
It's just that, listening to it, Zhao Chen feels a little wrong, it seems that this sounds a little like he is using other people's failures to highlight his own success!
Sure enough, this idea had just fallen, and Li Er's speech had come to an end, and in the main hall, the ministers who had just been silent got up one after another at this moment and began to congratulate Li Er in unison.
Well, I knew it would be like this!
Zhao Chen complained helplessly in his heart, and then, mixed in the pile of generals, followed everyone, bowed to Li Er in the main hall, and congratulated!
"Lingnan is pacified, half of the country has returned, I am very relieved!" Li Er had already stood up from behind the imperial case, waved his hand to let the ministers return to their seats, but his eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and said: "However, this counterinsurgency is indispensable to the Marquis of Chang'an!" ”
Damn, I'm going to be rewarded!
As soon as he heard Li Er finally get down to business, Zhao Chen suddenly threw away the depression just now, and on the surface he was still sitting upright, not squinting, but he had already begun to get excited in his heart.
"Half of Lingnan, this time is peaceful, it is a thousand years of merit!" Li Er looked down and said unhurriedly: "Therefore, I will give the Marquis of Chang'an as the inheritance of all generations, and it will never change!" ”
What the? I don't understand, what the hell is the inheritance?
Zhao Chen, who was looking down and listening to Li Er's conferral of the dukedom of another country, raised his head in surprise when he heard Li Er's words, and looked at Li Er with a confused face, and the whole person felt a little dazed.
Didn't you say a good national prince? Why is it still the Marquis of Chang'an, and besides, it is still a inheritance for all generations!
At this time, as Li Er's words fell, not only Zhao Chen raised his head in surprise, but all the officials present raised their heads at once, with a shocked look on their faces.
These people are not Zhao Chen, as soon as Li Er's words fell, they reacted all of a sudden, and one by one they first showed a look of surprise, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
However, after a while, after confirming that it was correct, a shocked look suddenly appeared on their faces.
Inherit forever and never change!
Don't look at it as just these simple eight words, however, the meaning behind it makes countless people, as long as they think about it, they tremble with excitement.
The titles of the Tang Dynasty are all hereditary, such as Cheng Yanjin's current dukedom, which can be hereditary by Cheng Chumo in the future, but there is a system for this hereditary, that is, every time it is inherited, the title will be reduced once.
In other words, once Cheng Chumo inherits Cheng Zhijin's title, he will be automatically demoted to the county duke, and so on, I am afraid that this title will already be at the end when it reaches Cheng Chumo's grandson.
However, Zhao Chen is completely different, inherited forever and never changed, that is to say, as long as the Tang Dynasty exists for one day, Zhao Chen's marquis can be passed on to his descendants.
The title is still the original marquis, however, because of the addition of these eight words, Zhao Chen's marquis suddenly became golden, and its value far exceeded that of other titles.
"In the end, isn't it still the Hou Ye!" Zhao Chen, who finally figured out the true meaning of the eight characters, suddenly felt powerless, Grandpa Guo's dream was shattered, and he felt that the whole person was suddenly not good. (To be continued.) )
