"What? Titled Da Chu? The ministers couldn't believe what they heard, you must know that the title of the prince has always been canonized according to the name of the country in ancient times in this era, and the ministers had already guessed what title the princes would get, but they never thought that Li Kuan would get such a title. Great Chu, although the state of Chu was a powerful country in ancient times, it can only be called the king of Chu, and if a big word is added in front, the meaning is completely different. For example, the current empire is called Tang, but in order to show its supremacy, it will be called the Tang Dynasty, which represents a supreme right. And what is the title of a prince with such a word? The First Prince?
"Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed!" The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to stand up against it, he was the uncle of Li Tai and Li Zhi, for the sake of his two nephews, he absolutely could not let Li Kuan sit on such a title. Because if you recognize Li Kuan's title of Da Chu, then no matter what the title is, my two nephews may only be able to succumb to this Da Chu king Li Kuan, and like this, there can only be one person who adds a big character in front of the prince's title, and the worst thing is that he can only canonize the second one after the next son of heaven succeeds to the throne. In this way, how can the eldest grandson Wuji endure it.
"Eldest grandson Aiqing, I know that this title will make many people puzzled, but I have already decided that it cannot be changed, and Kuan'er deserves this title." Li Er spoke up and stopped what Eldest Sun Wuji was about to say next: "Ladies and gentlemen, Aiqing." Do you know why I gave the title of Li Kuanda, the king of Chu? Attack the Turks in the north. Li Kuan, the king of Chu, went to the battlefield at the beginning, but brought back the jade seal of the country. This is only part of his merits, as for the rest, I don't plan to announce it for the time being, but I can guarantee that the name of the first prince of the Tang Dynasty is well deserved! ”
"Holy ......" The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Er with his hand, and then motioned to the eunuch to continue reading the holy decree.
"Li Ke, the king of Shu, stepped forward to listen to the seal: Li Ke, the king of Shu, is known to be virtuous and virtuous. Now canonized the king of Shu, Li Ke, is promoted to the king of Wu, and 5,000 households are feuded, and he will be vassal on a certain day! After Li Ke walked to the center of the hall and knelt down to listen to the seal, the eunuch read such a sentence in his throat. This sentence made the faces of those former Sui relics change slightly, this matter was a bit unexpected to them, the former prince stayed in Chang'an City, which was a logical thing, and then Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was not asked to go to the fief to take up the domain, and they thought that Li Er would not send these princes out. Unexpectedly, when he came to Li Ke, he actually asked him to choose a day. This makes them a little unacceptable, why is the second Li Kuan not asked to stay away from the capital, but the third Li Ke has to be treated differently?
Li Kuan's title had already made them feel unacceptable before. Now they found that this made them feel that the emperor really favored the king of Chu too much, so this time the former Sui ministers couldn't swallow their anger anymore, they wanted to know where the Wu country was? Far away in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although such a place is said to be a rich place, it is too far from Chang'an, Kyoto. The emperor of the sky is far away, and let the three princes with the royal blood of the two dynasties, who have all their hopes, go to that place. How can you show your talent in front of the emperor, so that the glimmer of hope that there was originally became slim, how can you endure it anymore?
"Your Majesty, why doesn't the king of Chu have to be a vassal domain? And King Wu wants to leave the land of Wu Yue? The land of Wuyue is still full of bandits, and it is not a good land! "The representative of the former Sui ministers, Pei Lin walked out of the ranks of the courtiers, bowed to Li Er and said. He served as the deputy eunuch of Jinyang Palace in the former Sui Dynasty, and was friendly with Li Yuan, and after Li Yuan raised troops, he followed Li Yuan.
"It is precisely because the land of Wu Yue is now full of bandits, so I hope that Ke'er can make some achievements after he goes, as for Kuan'er, his current merits are enough, and I have another task entrusted to him to complete, so Pei Qing doesn't need to say more!" Li Er once again acted arbitrarily, this Pei Lian is actually a member of the family, Jiangdong Pei is also a big family, but it is not as famous as the five surnames and Qiwang, but in terms of strength alone, in fact, this Pei family is not much smaller than the five surnames and seven hopes. Coupled with this Pei Lone, they firmly supported the orthodoxy of the former Sui behind their backs, which made Li Er unhappy for a long time. At this time, how could they still let Li Ke, who was pregnant with the blood of the former Sui royal family, stay in Beijing, so Li Er was dictatorial with peace of mind.
"By proclamation!" Li Er no longer paid attention to this old minister and continued to start rewarding.
Next, Li Tai was canonized as the king of Wei as in history, and Li Er still allowed him to form the Chongwen Pavilion in Chang'an City and stay in Chang'an. This once again drew a heavy line on the hearts of the former Sui ministers. Among the princes who have been able to have a sense of independence, only the third prince Li Ke was sent out of Beijing, what does this mean, how can these people who have been in the officialdom all their lives not understand, this makes them feel sad from their hearts, and Pei Lin is even more sad in his heart, only feeling that his eyes are dark for a while, after returning from this court, this old man will not be able to afford to be sick, and he will die of illness on the couch before the end of the year.
After that, it was the canonization of a group of princes, Li You was canonized as the King of Yan, Li Su was canonized as the King of Shu, inheriting his brother's previous title, and then Li Hun, the King of Tan, Li Zhen, the King of Han, and Li Zhi, the King of Jin. Most of these little princes are attending the court meeting for the first time, and they are shaking their heads and looking around. This made Li Kuan, who was standing at the head of the generals, sigh that time flies so fast, when he was canonized in this Lizheng Palace, he was about the same age as these little guys, but now he is about to win the crown.
The court meeting ended in the congratulatory send-off of a group of ministers, Li Kuan and others walked out of the gate of the Lizheng Palace, a group of civil and military generals mostly went their own way, in a hurry, they all looked different, but most of the people's faces were not very good-looking, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military individuals have their own positions, are ready to stand in line at any time, this time the wind direction does not seem to be right, they all have to think about their own way out, so no one wants to stay, they all want to plan for themselves, what to do in the future. This is a matter related to the life of the family, and it is not careless at all, just like the former ministers of King Li Jiancheng in the past, how many people are still in this court? Except for Wei Heizi, who does not regard himself as a minister but as a mirror, the rest is only Xue Wancheng, a military general.
The military generals are much better integrated into the circle than Wenchen, as long as the skills are good enough and the fists are strong enough, then the military generals circle can get the right to speak, and they can eat meat and drink wine with those gangs of rammers, and then fight on various occasions. This is a military general, simple and does not have many fancy intestines, of course, except for Li Shiji, Hou Junji and Li Jing are full of fancy intestines. These people don't have much popularity in this circle, Li Shiji is okay, with Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong, two good buddies who came over together, Hou Junji is a commodity that everyone hates, if he really has these two brushes, he may be directly squeezed out, and even a guy like Cheng Biting Jin will beat him all day long with a blue nose and swollen face.
The eldest grandson Wuji walked in the front, he was also a half-military general, although he is now a civilian, but he also has some superficial martial arts, in the state of deliberately galloping, his speed is the fastest, he walked out of the Suzaku Gate first, and then got into his own carriage, told the coachman to rush home, and then closed his eyes and thought in the carriage: This matter is strange, the emperor is obviously biased towards the king of Chu today, why is this?
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't understand that Li Kuan, the king of Chu, had always been not very trusted in Li Er's heart, and had always been faintly guarded by Li Er, how could he leave Li Kuan in the capital this time, and he also had the title of 'Great Chu', which was much higher than Li Tai and Li Zhi. There must be something in this that he doesn't know, these things make the balance in Li Er's heart begin to tilt, he can't go on like this, he must find a way to send this Li Kuan out of the capital, otherwise those uncertain guys in the court will definitely fall to Li Kuan's side. Eldest Sun Wuji thought so in his heart, his hands were lightly clenched into fists, as if he was making a decision.
On the other side, Li Kuan is riding to chase the clouds, and there are Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Shiji, Wei Chigong, Qu Tutong, Duan Zhixuan and other generals born in Tiance Mansion, of course, in addition to this similarity, there is another similarity, that is, the sons of these people were all Li Kuan's junior brothers when he was fighting in Chang'an City. At this time, these veterans surrounded Li Kuan and looked at this young man wearing a dark goose feather armor.
"I don't see it, you kid has fine skin and tender meat, how can you fight like this?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Kuan's fair cheeks and slender and slender hands, and shouted incomprehensibly.
"What, General Cheng, do you want to compete again?" Li Kuan smiled evilly and asked Cheng Yanjin.
"Forget it, you kid is a bit evil, and his strength is about the same as my Lao Cheng, but it's very weird, what kind of demon method did you use in the morning? Why did Lao Cheng punch you, half of my arm was numb, and I couldn't use any strength? Cheng Yanjin was like a curious baby, asking the doubts in his heart.
As soon as he said this, the rest of the people were also interested, they heard for the first time that Cheng Biting Jin was known to them, although it was an out-of-tune, but he had never told any lies about his martial arts skills, since he said that Li Kuan was evil, then this situation Cheng Biting Jin must have encountered it for the first time, which also aroused their curiosity, and they wanted to know what kind of powerful martial arts made the old goblin willing to admit defeat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's still in the palace, how can you say this?" Li Kuan excused himself.
"Then go to the eastern suburbs of the horse farm, which is spacious, and it is not far from the station of the women's army, maybe you can meet that group of girls drilling! Haha...... "It's not only Cheng Yanjin who doesn't pay attention, but Wei Chigong is not inferior."
