Chapter 71 On Meritorious Deeds

Yesterday's ceremony of sacrificing prisoners gave Li Shimin a big face. It has finally gotten rid of the high-pressure form of the northern nomads on the Central Plains country for decades, and the center of the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to worry about being driven straight by the Turks for a long time, and will be killed under the city of Chang'an again.

Today's great court meeting is the first time in the four years of Zhenguan, and it is also an important moment to give the triumphant soldiers on meritorious deeds, the officials and generals of the 16 guards in the capital all came to the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, waiting for the appearance of Emperor Li Shimin.

Li De rode the black dragon to the palace, greeted the unknown he knew along the way, walked into the Taiji Palace, and gathered important officials above the fifth rank of the dynasty at the door.

Fang Xuanling was the first to see Li De striding over, regardless of the official rank, stepped forward to greet him, bowed down to Li De and said, "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

Li De was startled, and Fang Xuanling supported him and said, "Fang Xiang, why is this?" ”

Fang Xuanling said, "Lord, the old minister's unworthy love, this time he followed the back of the army to fight outside the Saiwai, and came back with military merits, the old minister and his wife were overjoyed, thanks to the care of the prince, the old minister asked the prince to come over the house and thank you." ”

Li De heard this and said, "Fang Xiang is polite, this is not my credit, Fang Yiai was born to go to the battlefield, you can let go of your wish and let him join the army, it is the greatest help, Fang Ai can make a contribution this time in exchange for his own efforts, Fang Xiang doesn't have to thank me." ”

Fang Xuanling saw that Li De cared so much, and it was not good to greet Li De at the door of the main hall, "Then the prince remembers to have time to go to the mansion, please have a meal." ”

Later, Du Ruhui looked at Li De and Fang Xuanling talking, and also ran up to take a kick, and said, "Lord Wang, what Lao Fang said is right, you have to let our two old guys thank you well, the two troublemakers of our two families are coming back this time like a different person, you can't postpone it,"

Li Degang agreed, Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice ran over and pulled Li De up, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui shook their heads helplessly.

Li De was pulled into the team of military attachés by Cheng Yanjin, it was really hot, a large group of colleagues pulled Li De to compliment, especially Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and others were the most enthusiastic, no need to explain, their sons could give them these old guys a long face this time, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong followed their colleagues every day to brag about how good and brave their sons were, which caused a lot of white eyes. This time even Duan Zhixuan, who had no friendship with Li De, came to Li De to ask for a relationship, and the military attaches all asked to send their sons to the Beiwei Army to hone their skills, and the next war would be a good background. Now who doesn't know that following the Beiwei army will have merit to be gained, and Li Dezai is still afraid that he will not be able to win.

Li De was embarrassed to refuse the enthusiasm of his colleagues, nodded like a pounding garlic and promised, the Beiwei army has been reduced by more than three layers this time, and it will definitely be recruited again, and it will be expanded to the scale of 10,000 people.

Wei Zheng's original duty as the imperial envoy was to supervise the order of the court, but these guys put the old Wei Liang aside, and this court meeting was also a reward for meritorious deeds, so Wei Zheng didn't care about them and let them talk for a while. Seeing His Majesty's personal eunuch walking in from the side hall, Wei Zheng tidied up his clothes.

Liu San announced loudly, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and the ministers greet him." ”

"Your Majesty is greeted. Long live our emperor"

Li Shimin changed into a new bright yellow dragon robe, the dragon opened its teeth and claws very expressively, wore a crown through the sky, and his face was solemn. Walked to the throne and waved his robe and said, "Everyone, give me a seat"

"Your Majesty"

Li Shimin's majestic eyes swept away, and said to everyone, "Today's court meeting, I should reward him heavily, and someone will come to announce the edict."

Liu San stepped forward and opened the holy decree and read in a deep voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Zhenguan three winter, Dingxiang Road marching chief Li Jing, commander of the three roads of 100,000 troops to go out, Keri to take Dingxiang, cross the white road, break the Turkic Jieli Khan in Yinshan, the army swept south of Yinshan, captured more than 200,000 Turkic soldiers, 100,000 Han slaves, and captured countless cattle, sheep and horses. Jiatong Zhongshu Gate Pingzhang Shi entered the political hall, sealed 600 households and sealed 1,000 households. 2,000 horses. ”

Li Jing knelt down to thank the emperor, "Minister Li Jing, thank Your Majesty Hongen." This reward can be unprecedented, Li Jing completed the grand wish of the general and the Turkic army in the battle of the Turks, and entered the political hall with Shangshu, became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and sealed a thousand households, which is only less than the eldest grandson Wuji's thousand three hundred households. It can be described as a great honor. When Zhang Baoxiang was preparing to trap Li Jing, Li De broke Zhang Baoxiang's plan and failed, so Li Jing was not held accountable for concealing military information as in history. Naturally, it didn't affect the bounty.

Liu San said and said, "King Wei of the Tang Dynasty, the chief general of the Beiwei Army, the hussar general, Li Yuanba, brave and invincible, led 5,000 Beiwei troops to defeat the Turkic elite Golden Wolf Army head-on, and then broke through the White Road, and captured the Turkic Jieli Khan in a battle with Yinshan. Specially sealed the general of the Wei Army, expanding the army by 10,000 and 10,000 gold. ”

Li De stepped forward and bowed, "Brother thank you, Your Majesty"

Liu San's "Tongmo Road marching chief Li Ji, Datong Dao marching chief has outstanding military achievements, respectively, added Yinqing Guanglu doctor, auxiliary general, Juan each a thousand horses. ”

"Chai Shao, the head of the Jinhe Road March, Xue Wanche, the head of the Changwu Road March, has made meritorious service in commanding the troops, and the general of the Fengzhen Army, Juan Qianqi."

"Su Dingfang, the guerrilla general of the Beiwei Army, won the first merit of Dingxiang as a striker, and was named General Xuanwei, the son of the founding county, and a hundred horses in Juan"

"Wei Chigong, Zhang Gongjin, Gao Yongsheng and other generals used their lives in battle, increasing the number of food and 100 households, gold and gold, and 100 horses."

"Back to the history of the army commander, Ma Zhou, sort out the logistics and supply of the army, in an orderly manner, and then assist Li Jing, the acting general manager of the army, meritorious service, Feng Chenglang, the founder of the county."

"Lieutenant generals, captains, soldiers, etc., recorded their respective merits and gave them heavy rewards. Chin this. ”

Li Shimin's pockets are now bulging, not only covering a large territory, but also countless treasures, cattle, sheep and horses into the treasury, and he doesn't mind giving the soldiers double the reward.

Even Li Zhen, Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong, Du He, Fang Yiai, Niu Jianhu and these people have made a lot of credit, and they have been named Xuandelang and Zhaowu Lieutenant.

After Liu San read out Li Shimin's edict, all the ministers thanked Emperor Longen. ，

The eldest grandson Wuji read out another edict on behalf of the political affairs hall: "The political affairs hall, the province of Menxia, the deputy head of the march of the Great Fellow Dao, Zhang Baoxiang, lied about the military situation, intending to create a war between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo to win the military industry, so as to mislead the military judgment of Li Jing, the general manager of Dingxiang Dao. was recognized by His Royal Highness King Wei, and now he is dismissed from the position of General Zhang Bao Xiangyun and the founding county magistrate, and is demoted to a concubine. ”

"The Turkic Jieli Khan, who has repeatedly invaded the Central Plains for many years, has committed heinous crimes, and it is difficult to write about it, and he will be punished by dividing the corpse of five horses at noon tomorrow."

"The Turkic national teacher, Zhao Deyan, as a man of the Han family, aided in the abuse, gave advice to Jieli to poison his compatriots, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be punished with a thousand knives at noon tomorrow. And to tell the world that such traitors should be spurned by the nation. ”

"The former Sui Yang clan was political, except for the Sui King who descended to the Tang Dynasty, and the members of the seal were scattered to ride the squire"

Jieli and Zhao Deyan immediately fainted in the hall, originally according to the convention, Jieli thought that Li Shimin would leave him a small life, and spend the rest of his life in Chang'an. didn't think that Li Shimin was so ruthless that he would actually split his five horses, and immediately fainted.

Zhao Deyan became a traitor, was repaired by Li De, and had no hope of living, but it was enough for him to die, and he had to tell the world that his name Zhao Deyan would always be remembered by history and always spurned, which was more cruel than asking for his life.

Only Yang Zhengdao followed Empress Xiao to descend to the Tang Dynasty, and consciously asked to remove the title of Former Sui, which was accepted by Li Shimin and given him a petty official.

These three people don't know that Li De played a vital role in the middle, Li De, as a descendant, of course, knew that after this reward, Jieli was named the king of the county by Li Shimin, and he also gave him a big mansion in Chang'an, although he was not as good as the Turkic Khan, but he was already extraordinarily generous if he didn't kill him, and finally was used by Li Shimin as a drama often announced that he entered the palace to dance, teasing and ending up. How could Li De let him survive here, even the number of disasters he did couldn't count, and it was simply delusional to give back to the king ,,,of Fengjun, and from now on, Li De will slowly change the virtue of my Central Plains Dynasty who loves to pretend to be forced to throw money. Why did you catch the culprit and not kill it, but still keep it for confession, and kill it directly to relieve your anger.

The two of them were dragged out by the samurai in front of the palace.

Li De felt that a gaze had been staring at him, and when he turned his head, he saw an old man in the civil official group opposite looking at him, as if he had something to say to him. Just as he was about to turn his head and ask Li Jing who the old man was, Liu San announced the dissolution of the dynasty. also asked Li De to go to the side hall to see Li Shimin.

Li De followed Liu San to the side hall, Li Shimin sat on the chair seriously, saw Li De come in and said, "San, come and sit." I have something to ask you."

Li De sat next to Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, what's the matter?" ”

Li Shimin said strangely, "Third child, you see that Li Jing wrote it in the recital, the jade seal of the country was obtained from the former Empress Sui Xiao, and the princess of Yicheng is not dead, what are you going to do?" ”

Li De didn't expect Li Jing to be so sincere, blamed him for not talking to Li Jing in advance, pretended to cough twice and said, "Second brother, it's not like I'm going to hide it from you, I mean, it's better for Queen Xiao and Princess Yicheng to hide, it's not like Yang Zhengdao is in front, don't expose the fact that Queen Xiao and Princess Yicheng are not dead." When Empress Xiao presented the jade seal, she said that she just wanted to return to her homeland and be an ordinary old woman, which was not too demanding."

Li Shimin thought about it, and it was not bad to deal with Empress Xiao's identity in a sensitive and low-key manner, and after nodding her head, she said, "What about Princess Yicheng, do you know how unknown that woman is, why didn't she let her die for a hundred years." ”

Li De stubbornly said, "Second brother, aren't I soft-hearted, she is indeed too hard, and blame the man at that time for being useless, I arranged another identity for her, I am going to arrange for her to take care of those rescued Han slaves, and also let her atone for her sins, second brother, you won't object, right?"

Li Shimin raised his hand and pressed his brows, and said helplessly, "What else can I do, you have arranged it, and asked me what I am doing." Okay, that's it, you remember to hide the righteous city, but don't let those rotten people know, otherwise there will be a headache. ”

Li De saw it and quickly showed his loyalty and wrapped him up.

Li Shimin said, "Okay, let's go to my father's place to have a look,"

Li De shook his head and said, "No, I'll come to see the old man another day, I have an appointment today, that's it, I'll go first." ”

Li Shimin teased, "You kid, do you have a confidant, so you left your brother and father behind." I can tell you, the most women in your house are side concubines, and your sister-in-law is very concerned about the position of this concubine, do you remember? ”

Li De said, "Oh, remember, remember, let's go." ”
