Chapter 451: A Bowl of Water is Flat
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, in addition to rewarding his eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other henchmen, he was not stingy with his brothers and sisters, but it was only limited to his brothers and sisters, others like some cousins, uncles and the like, if they did not make contributions, the title would not only not be promoted, but would decline, because Li Shimin would not raise idlers at all.

According to the rules, Li Shimin ascended the throne, and his sisters and sisters naturally became the eldest princess, and some titles will also be changed, and the fiefdom will also increase greatly, but only the title of Princess Pingyang Li Shimin does not dare to move, because he doesn't know if he changes the title of Princess Pingyang without authorization, will it cause Princess Pingyang's anger?
"Then what do you mean, Your Majesty, do you want to change Xiuning's title?" Li Xiu saw Li Shimin's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but ask at the moment.
"That's true, after my father ascended the throne, my sisters and sisters all got the title of princess, but because of the rush of time, the title is not too particular, for example, the title of the third sister is Pingyang, but the title of Pingyang is not a very good title, so I want to change the title of the third sister." Li Shimin nodded.
Speaking of the word "Pingyang", the first thing that comes to mind in later generations is probably the sentence "Tiger falls in Pingyang", and the location of the place name Pingyang is also very controversial, some people say that there was Pingyang County in ancient times, probably located in Shandong, some say that it is located in Henan or Anhui, and even some people say that it is located in Shaanxi or the south and other places, and there are very few records of Pingyang in history, and with the credit of Princess Pingyang, this title is indeed not worthy of her.
"Your Majesty's meaning is understood, but I am just the opposite of Your Majesty's thoughts, Pingyang is the most suitable title for Xiuning!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"Oh? Why? Li Shimin also looked at Li Xiu in surprise when he heard this, and he couldn't understand what Li Xiu's last sentence meant?
"Your Majesty, Xiuning is different from ordinary women, throughout the ages, it is extremely rare to be able to cross the battlefield like her, and a woman who has made contributions to the country is extremely rare, and can even be called unique, so for Xiuning, it doesn't matter what kind of title, because no matter which title, it will go down in history because of her!" Li Xiu said proudly at this time, it was also his blessing to be able to marry such a woman.
When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's words, he couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes for a while, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Li Xiu, what you said is also reasonable, I didn't expect this, with the talent and prestige of the third sister, the title of Princess Pingyang has indeed become brilliant because of her, and our brothers have been compared to her, since this is the case, then I will not do it much!" ”
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, although what he said just now was not a lie, but it was not comprehensive, the reason why he didn't want Li Shimin to change the title of Pingyang was also worried that Princess Pingyang would be angry, firstly, this title was given by Li Yuan, and secondly, her relationship with Li Shimin was so stiff, she would definitely not accept Li Shimin's canonization, if Li Shimin's holy decree came down, and was rejected by Princess Pingyang, the faces of both parties would not look good.
"But the title remains the same, but the fief can't be missing, I have added a lot of fiefs to the other sisters before, and the fiefs on the third sister's side seem to be less, it is better for me to add some fiefs to the third sister, in addition, Jin'er was also born, and I, who is an uncle, also have to give him a title, since I can't give you the title of king, then it's better to compensate for it on Jin'er, and simply give your father and son a national duke, what do you think?" Li Shimin said with a smile.
It seems that Li Shimin really did not miss any opportunity to repair the relationship with Princess Pingyang, but Li Xiu was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you have made Jin'er the prince of the country, what about my other son Ping'anlang?" ”
"This ......" Li Shimin didn't expect Li Xiu's face to be so thick-skinned, and he took the initiative to ask about the title of his other son, which made him hesitate for a moment and finally spoke, "You and Pei Ju are both my humerus ministers, for your son, I naturally will not be lazy, I think I will give him the title of county earl, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Wuji's son, only your son has such treatment!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is a little unfair, Jin'er is the prince of the country, but Ping'an Lang is only a county uncle, and the grade is far behind, as a father, I don't want the two sons to have such a big gap!" Li Xiu shouted dissatisfiedly at this time, he was not greedy, but as a father, he was naturally a bowl of water to his son, and he didn't want to favor one over the other.
"You...... Why do you ......" Li Shimin didn't expect Li Xiu to be so ignorant, and he was choked by his words at the moment and didn't know what to say?
But at this moment, I saw Li Xiu suddenly smile slyly and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to be like this, I don't want that prince of Jin'er, why don't you just change two county dukes, and then how about two sons and one for each other?" ”
"......" Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Xiu speechlessly when he heard this, if it was another person who said this kind of bastard words, I'm afraid he would have scolded a long time ago, after all, the title he was rewarded, as a courtier, he only had to accept it, how could there be a bargain like Li Xiu?
"It's okay to change the county duke to the county duke!" Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin didn't speak, and finally gritted his teeth again and said, it seems that the Guogong has suffered a loss by replacing it with two county dukes.
"No! Although the sons are all yours, but their mothers are from different backgrounds, how can they be treated equally? Li Shimin finally couldn't help but say at this time, he really couldn't agree with Li Xiu's point of view.
"Your Majesty, although the mothers of the minister's children are different, they are all the sons of the minister, for me, there is no difference between Jin'er and Ping'anlang, if I am rich, then I will divide my family property into two and divide them fairly, if I am poor, even if there is only one cake left in the family, I will give them two points of the same size, and there will be no bias, so if Your Majesty's reward to Jin'er and Ping'an Lang is different, then the minister would rather not reward them!" Li Xiu raised his head and stared at Li Shimin's eyes.
"You ......" Li Shimin was choked by Li Xiu's words again, and was even a little annoyed, but at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, Li Xiu's performance today was completely different from before, even as if he had changed people, and there seemed to be a deeper intention hidden in his words?
