In addition to being awarded the title of General Wuhou of the Right Force, Li Yin's "envoy festival" in this reward is also a great power that should not be underestimated. Ｘ

The so-called "festival" is urgent, "with Mao as it, the top and bottom are heavy, and the bamboo is like a bamboo joint", which is a token given by the emperor to officials and generals, and has a similar role as "Shang Fang Sword".

Officials and generals can be divided into three types: envoys, festivals, and false festivals, in which the power of envoys is the first, the second is the second, and the false festivals are the bottom.

The three types of bestowal festivals all have the power to cut first and then play, but the authority is subdivided. The envoy can kill officials below the third rank, and the envoy can kill people without official positions, but if he governs the military, he can have the same authority as the envoy, while the false festival can only kill those who violate military orders in the military.

Therefore, Li Yin was awarded the "envoy festival" this time, and his power suddenly increased a lot.

As for the Shangshu Order of the Shaanxi East Road Daxing Tai in the reward, there is another kind of exquisiteness.

During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou, Zhou and Zhao were divided into two centimeters and ruled by Shaanxi, with the east under the governance of the Duke of Zhou and the west under the governance of the Duke of Zhao. "Shaanxi" generally refers to Shaanxi, the west is called Shaanxi, and the area to the east is called Shaanxi.

The eastern Shaanxi region, in fact, is the area east of Tongguan, which is commonly known as the Kanto region, with a wide geographical range, Li Yin, the Daxing Taishang Book Order of the Eastern Shaanxi Province, is said to be very powerful, but now most of these areas are in the hands of Wang Shichong, Meng Haigong and others, so Li Yin's Daxing Taishang Book Order of the Eastern Shaanxi Province is actually just an empty shelf.

However, if Li Yuan sent Li Yin to attack the eastern Shaanxi region, he would be able to use his position as the great executive of the Eastern Shaanxi Province, and at that time, he would have the right to appoint officials and deal with civil affairs every time he captured a city or a place there.

In general, Li Yin is still quite satisfied with this reward, the honor and prestige have been obtained, and the real power has also been greatly improved.

……

On the second day of the twelfth month, Li Yuan issued an edict to enshrine Yang Yu in the Tang Dynasty as the Duke of the Kingdom (in the previous 184 chapters, Yang Yu was mistakenly written as Yang, which has been changed), and posthumously named Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui, as Emperor Yang.

(xi) It is only a small county in Shandong, Li Yuan named Yang Yu as the prince of the country, and he is quite disrespectful to this emperor who has only been the emperor for more than half a year, and Yang Guang's nickname is "Yang", which is the same as Xia Wei and Shang, from which it can be seen that Li Yuan has no kindness to the Sui family at all.

After the promulgation of this edict, no one in the court objected, which shows that the people's hearts are no longer attached to the Sui room.

After that, Li Yuan sent the imperial servant Qing Yu Wenming to appease and comfort the area east of Kunshan Mountain, and appointed Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, as the governor of Shaanxi.

At this time, the world was still unstable, and all remote and important prefectures and counties were set up to command the armies of several states, and the power of the governor was very large, somewhat similar to the Jiedu envoy who led to the secession of feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty.

On the third day of the first month, Li Yuan issued an edict appointing Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, the general of Youyiwei, as the pacification ambassador of Shandong Province, and all the soldiers and horses in Shandong accepted his command; With Cui Min, the squire of the Yellow Gate, as the deputy envoy.

When all the trivial matters are dealt with, Datang has to deal with an important matter that is very important.

After Li Mi was defeated and left Hanoi, Xu Shiji still occupied part of the territory that originally belonged to Li Mi, with five or six counties, west to Ruzhou, east to the sea, north to Wei County, and south to the Yangtze River, and he did not belong to anyone at this time.

The counties that Xu Shiji now controls were all taken over by the local governors who took the initiative to let Xu Shiji take over after Li Mi was defeated and fled to Hanoi.

Xu Shiji has always been the most benevolent and righteous, and since the territory he controlled was originally Li Mi's, it is not impossible for him to return it to Li Mi.

But Li Mi was afraid that Xu Shiji would be unfavorable to him, and after the defeat, he not only fled directly to Hanoi, but also laid heavy troops on the border with Xu Shiji's controlled territory, making it clear that he did not trust Xu Shiji, so Xu Shiji did not post it and send the territory to Li Mi.

After Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he almost occupied the Central Plains, and his strength was strong, posing a serious threat to Li Tang.

Therefore, whether or not Xu Shiji can be persuaded is of great strategic significance to Datang.

Xu Shiji and Li Yin are brothers, the two have a very good relationship, it stands to reason that persuade Xu Shiji to surrender, Li Yin is the most suitable to go out, Li Yin also took the initiative to ask Li Yuan for this, but Li Yuan refused on the grounds that it was too risky to pass through Wang Shichong's territory.

In addition to Li Yin's initiative to ask Ying, Wei Zheng also wrote a letter requesting to appease the area east of Tongguan, which was adopted by Li Yuan, who took Wei Zheng as his secretary, and took a boat from the Yellow River to Liyang after leaving Tongguan, and wrote to Xu Shiji, persuading him to surrender to Tang as soon as possible.

Before Wei Zheng set off, Li Yin was afraid that Xu Shiji would be confused and unwilling to surrender, so he wrote a handwritten letter to Wei Zheng, asking him to bring Xu Shiji, move him with affection, know him with reason, and ask him to think that he has been thought of by all the people in the world, return to the Tang Dynasty, and help the Tang Dynasty calm the troubled times.

Under the persuasion of Wei Zheng and the persuasion of Li Yin's letter, Xu Shiji thought for a long time, and finally decided to go west to the Tang Dynasty, and sent his subordinate Guo Xiaoke to Chang'an with Wei Zheng to surrender to the table, and transported the grain from Liyang Cang to supply Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who was the ambassador of Shandong Province as an ambassador.

After Li Yuan learned that Xu Shiji agreed to surrender, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict to grant Xu Shiji the governor of Lizhou, Shangzhu State, Fenglai Guogong, and gave Xu Shiji the surname Li, and Xu Shiji was renamed Li Shiji (in history, Xu Shiji later removed the "world" in the middle of the name in order to avoid Li Shimin's obscurity, and finally named Li Ji, and "Ji" was written in some words).

Not long after Li Yuan rewarded Li Ji with the title of "Gang Out", he should have been named the Duke of Cao Guo, and he should be crowned the general of the Right Wuhou, give him 50 hectares of good land, a high-class mansion in Chang'an, and let Zongzheng record the name of Li Ji.

Since the Li family entered Chang'an, the number of people who belong to Chang'an is countless, but when it comes to kinship, Li Ji can be said to be at the top of the list, before him, no one has ever received such a big reward as soon as he surrenders, this is because Li Ji's strength is too important to the Tang Dynasty.

After that, Li Yuan also wanted to crown Li Ji's father Li Gai (formerly known as Xu Gai) as the king of Jiyin, Li Gai resolutely did not accept the prince, so he should be the Duke of Shu Guo, and the favor of Li Ji's family was granted to the Lingzhou Assassin History, which was unmatched for a while.

Li Yuan knew very well the way to employ people, and did not edict him to come to the court after rewarding Li Ji, but let him continue to lead his soldiers and horses against Wang Shichong, and used Guo Xiaoke as the assassin of Songzhou, and let him and Li Ji plan together to deal with the area east of the tiger prison and get the prefectures and counties.
