Chapter 66: This Dollar Is Not the Other Element
Li Shimin's second edict is here, and there is only one theme - reward.
Bai Luo Yi opened the house with three divisions, and the food was sealed 1,200 households.
Luo Yi himself is the king of Yan, the governor of Youzhou, and the general of Zuo Yiwei, and his position and title are already very high, maybe he is not a very good minister, but he is definitely a leader among the courtiers, and he is in a high position.
Now, Li Shimin treats him even more kindly.
The opening of the palace and the three divisions means that Luo Yi can open the palace and build teeth, establish the subordinate officials of the palace, and cultivate his own system of ministers, and even soldiers and horses.
What does this mean?
Although there are not a few princes and dukes who have received this reward, most of the time it is only an honorary nature, showing status and grace, such as Yang Su, the Duke of Yue in the Sui Dynasty.
But for Luo Yi, it is completely different, he is a powerful figure, and he is on the border, and he still has a large army in his hands, so he is self-respecting.
Now, the emperor has given him the right to divide the party.
The 1,200 households of the food yi are even more extraordinary graces, you must know that the prince of the Li Tang Dynasty and the king of Qin are only a few hundred households.
Seeing such a reward, Luo Yi was a little speechless for a while.
What is this?
Li Shimin is ignoring his past suspicions, and intends to win himself over?
But after thinking about it, Luo Yi became apprehensive.
followed Li Jiancheng at the beginning, but he offended Li Shimin ruthlessly, even if he had the strength, he would not be so generous.
Maybe......
Is he trying to confuse and paralyze himself with a reward, and then hide a knife in his smile?
When Luo Yi was thinking like this in his heart, an uninvited guest came to the door.
The person who came was not very old, only in his twenties, with a handsome face, politeness, and a lofty appearance.
There is no doubt about it, the children of the family.
"Meet King Yan."
"Who is you?"
"It's not enough to worry about the unknown."
"No name always has a surname, right?"
"Liu!"
Luo Yi suddenly frowned, Liu is a big surname, and he has been a big surname since the Han Dynasty.
At the beginning, it was a royal surname, but it had declined in the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially in the Wuhu era, and a large number of Xiongnu Xianbei and Qiang people who moved inward changed their surnames to Liu.
makes this surname complicated, no longer a high-ranking noble, and even a decent county can not find a few famous families.
This is where Luo Yi wonders.
The young man in front of him is so generous, it is not surprising that he comes from a family of five surnames, at least he is also a noble son of a high-ranking family.
The sudden appearance of a surname Liu is really surprising and suspicious.
Luo Yi smiled: "Young man, since you came to visit the old man, don't hide it, where does your surname Liu come from, or which family do you have a relationship with?" ”
The young man knew that he couldn't hide it at will, so he thought for a moment and said softly: "Yuan."
"No wonder!"
This time, Luo Yi was stunned, and there was an unexpected feeling.
There were not many later generations with the surname Yuan, but it was a dignitary in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Because the surname Yuan originated from Tuoba, it was Sinicized from the Northern Wei royal family Tuoba and was a descendant of the Xianbei royal family.
It is a pity that the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided, and finally the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty were successively replaced by the ministers, and then to the Sui Dynasty, and today's Tang Dynasty, which can be described as a vicissitudes of life, and the situation has long been different.
Although the Yuan family is no longer a royal family, it is still a famous family, and there are still many people who were officials in the Sui Dynasty and also participated in the rebellion against Emperor Yang of Sui.
However, Yuan's experience was similar to Yang Xuangan's, they were both people who started earlier, so they were also attacked and strangled by the strongest counterattack of the Sui army, and suffered heavy losses.
However, Yuan Li, who served as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, finally avenged the clansmen and was the helper of Yu Wenhua and Jiangdu to kill the king.
But unfortunately, when Li Tang was established, he looked down on them, traitors and thieves who killed the king, or imprisoned or abandoned, resulting in a miserable end.
Yuan Li is also one of them, and the Yuan clan, which is already losing day by day, is becoming more and more unbearable.
Now a child of the Yuan family who claims to be surnamed Liu, Luo Yi is not surprised at all.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Yuan family is also the emperor's family, Guan Long is noble, and the children of the Yuan family are educated and reasonable.
As for incognito, maybe this person has something to do with Yuanli!
The young man actually knew it in his heart, and he knew that Luo Yi had probably guessed wrong.
If it's wrong, it's right, he has no intention of correcting it, and many times it's just a wrong move, and it's crooked, so you don't have to force it.
Luo Yi took him for granted as a child of the Yuan family, and did not inquire too much, he cared more about the purpose of the person than his background.
"Why are you here?"
"Bring the truth of Xuanwu Gate to King Yan."
"Oh?"
Luo Yi naturally heard the rumors for a long time, but what happened in Chang'an, he still didn't know the details of Xuanwu Gate, and now that someone brought it, he couldn't ask for it.
"Say it!"
"Li Shimin killed his brother and brother, brutally killed his son and nephew, and persecuted his father, and everyone and God were angry."
In just a few words, without describing more details, you can already think of what is going on.
Sure enough!
"Does King Yan have any plans to avenge the crown prince?"
The so-called prince, Li Jiancheng, who has died, is also.
Luo Yi was silent, as a general and courtier that Li Jiancheng relied on in the past, it seemed to be an obligation to avenge him.
But......
If revenge and the current prince Li Shimin turn his face and the entire Tang Dynasty, to put it bluntly, he is a rebellion, a rebellious minister and a thief.
Although it is said that the prince is the winner and the loser, when he thinks of the invincible Li Shimin, he can't help but feel a little worried and a little afraid.
Even if you raise an army, can you win the war?
He was not sure, so naturally he did not dare to be rash.
After all, the relationship with Li Jiancheng is only to that extent, but it is quite a tacit understanding, and the so-called grace of acquaintance, not father and son.
The memorial is due, but the revenge is obviously a bit excessive.
If it's not necessary, why do you have to tear your face with Li Shimin? Why push yourself to the brink of extinction?
It is the instinct of hostages to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Luo Yi will inevitably have some concerns and some hesitation.
I didn't want the young man surnamed Liu to say: "Is King Yan really confused by Li Shimin's little reward?" Today's reward may be the shackles and charges of the coming day, and King Yan can't help but be careless. ”
"Do you know the reward that Li Shimin gave to this king?" This time it was Luo Yi's turn to widen his eyes, the holy decree had just been received, had anyone seen it first?
Impossible!
The Holy Decree is different from other things, it is absolutely time-sensitive, it is something that is strictly controlled by someone, and it will never be leaked in advance.
"Guess."
The young man surnamed Liu laughed: "Throughout the ages, there have been countless such practices, and Li Shimin's reward is just a means to temporarily appease King Yan."
When he frees his hands and feet, I'm afraid ......"
"Will he definitely attack this king? Wei Zheng and Wei Ting have been released, why bother......"
"Wei Zheng and Wei Ting are Wenchen, don't worry, but King Yan is different, you have a large army, and you have a close relationship with the East Palace in the past, can Li Shimin rest assured?"
The young man smiled: "Instead of worrying all day long, it is better to do it once and for all, does King Yan still have illusions about Li Shimin?" ”
