The edicts of the Tang Dynasty are divided into seven forms: books, books, condolences and labor, edicts, edicts, edicts, edicts, and edicts, which are generally drafted by the province of Zhongshu, and the province of Menxia is examined and promulgated, and the examination and promulgation of the province has strict regulations. Minor matters will be signed". Therefore, the first book issued by it is often the word "under the door".

As for the "Fengtian Carrying the Emperor's Edict", which often appears in TV dramas, it was formed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the emperor's enthronement decree often began with "When the heavens are good, he is ordered by Ziming" to clarify the "orthodoxy" of the Son of Heaven; The writing format of the Song Dynasty's holy decrees generally inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and there were some changes, from Song Taizu to Song Huizong, the decrees issued when ascending the throne all began with the word "under the door", and there were many who liked to start with "I Shao Ying Jun Life" or "I Ying Haotian's Dependents"; During the Yuan Dynasty, the opening words of the holy decree were always "In the immortal weather, in the great blessing and shade, the emperor's holy decree." ”

And the one used for the emperor to confer official titles is the "Imperial Decree". These edicts are generally edicts issued by the emperor to confer titles. Of course, for middle-level officials like Li Guangbi and Shi Siming, the edict on the title of official is naturally decided by the prime minister of the political affairs hall.

These edicts were generally issued by the Zhongshu Province, and although they were issued in the name of the emperor, they were not drawn up by the emperor, but by the Zhongshu province. The procedure is as follows: a number of copies of the holy decree are drafted by the Zhongshu Sheren, called the "Five Flowers Judgment", and then one copy is selected by the Zhongshu Decree or the Zhongshu Shilang and slightly embellished to become the official edict, and then the emperor draws an edict to become the emperor's order, and finally sends it to the province. After the ministry reviewed them, these edicts were only legal after they were signed by the servants or the servants under the doors.

Of course, today's edict from the two envoys rewarding the soldiers and horses of the two feudal towns, I am afraid that Emperor Li Longji did have some questions, otherwise he would not have bothered to arrange today's Taiyi siege.

After the lieutenant official who announced the decree finished reading, everyone in the audience said in a loud voice similar to the official words of instructing the emperor to live a long and healthy life. And Li Guangbi and Shi Siming, as well as the soldiers of Hexi and Pinglu towns, even trembled and kowtowed to thanks, and their joy was beyond words.

Even if it is a matter of course, people like Li Guangbi and Shi Siming, who have always been moody, can't help but show joy, after all, being promoted to a knighthood and being a marquis are the dreams of all Tang Dynasty boys who have struggled all their lives.

And like Shi Siming, his heart was even more ecstatic, at this time he was not the Great Sage Yan King who later dominated Hebei and turned the Tang Empire upside down. You must know that his former old partner, the current boss Fan Yang and Pinglu are the envoys of the two towns, and the official rank is the champion general An Lushan, and now his biggest wish in life is just to become the prime minister like his predecessors. And now Shi Siming's greatest wish is to succeed An Lushan as the envoy of Fanyang or Pinglu Town.

Shi Siming glanced obliquely at Li Guangbi beside him, and smiled secretly at the corner of his mouth. Rao is a ruthless and arrogant military general like him, and he can't escape the heart of comparison in front of fame and fortune officials after all. Because before that, even if he was the same as Li Guangbi, he was a soldier and horse envoy in a town, but it was just an envoy without official qualities. As a ranger general who has ascended from the fifth rank to the rank of martial arts, his official rank is one rank and two orders lower than that of Li Guangbi, who is the general of Dingyuan on the fifth rank.

And now on the surface, both of them are also strong generals who have been promoted to the fourth rank of the official rank, and the officials have also received the false title of the sixteenth Wei Zhonglang general, and even the title is the founding baron from the fifth rank. The rewards of other fiefdoms, fiefdoms, manors, and slaves and maids are exactly the same. On the surface, it is a mouthful of water, but in fact, his Shi Siming's promotion speed and promotion range are much higher than Li Guangbi next to him.

Shi Siming knew how much advantage he had taken advantage of, and he also knew that the reason for this must be due to the secret operation of his old partner An Lushan, as well as the favoritism of Li Linfu, the current right minister of the Jin Kingdom, otherwise even if the two of them made war exploits at the same time, it would be impossible to get the same treatment and reward as Li Guangbi +.

As for his own military exploits, only An Lushan's henchmen know the reason. It is different from the Tuyuhun tribe led by Wang Zhongsi to lead the Hexi Army to pacify Shazhou and collude with Tubo. The military exploits he made in the conquest of the Xi and Khitan tribes were because An Lushan wanted to compete for favor with Xuanzong with his side merits, so he took the initiative to invade the Xi and Khitan tribes.

On March 14 of the fourth year of Tianbao, An Lushan was on the table for the Khitan King and the King of Xi to seek peace, and Xuanzong's granddaughter Duhu was the princess of Jingle and married to the Khitan King Li Huaijie; The nephew Yang is the princess of Yifang and is married to Li Yanpet, the king of Xi. An Lushan used Tang Xuanzong's two nieces as bait to paralyze the Khitan and Xi tribes. In September, he led Fan Yang's army to invade the Xi and Khitan tribes. The two kings then killed the princess to rebel, and An Lushan raised an army to break it.

This is the origin of the exploits of the Fan Yang Army and the Pinglu Army. In fact, the situation in Hebei is different from other border towns in the Tang Empire, whether it is Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, Beiting, or even Jiannan and Lingnan, these feudal towns have the threat of enemy countries or the disaster of the fetter tribes, but Fan Yang and Pinglu are not much of a threat under the force of Xue Chuyu, Zhang Shouqi and others. As for An Lushan's predecessor Fan Yang Jiedu envoy, the current Hubu Shangshu Pei Kuan is even more loved by the northern Saibei tribe for his character charm and gentle means, most of the tribes in the northeast of the Tang Empire are no longer a threat, and the Khitan tribe, which was a disaster in the Wu Zetian period, is now also surrendering with peace of mind and no second thoughts. It was only in order to invite merit to obtain the new appointment of Emperor Li Longji, so An Lushan repeatedly invaded the Khitan and Xi tribes.

If it is said that although the temperance envoys of other feudal towns are also bullying the surrounding small countries or tribes, those are more or less ambitious and threatening to the Tang Empire. Just like the later Gao Xianzhi's attack on the stone country in Central Asia, he was accused of untrustworthy and great power powerism and chauvinism. But Shi did collude with the black-clad Arab empire of the Abbasids.

In the ten major feudal towns of Tianbao, only the two towns of Fanyang and Pinglu have reached an absolute advantage over the various ethnic groups and hostile forces at home and abroad, so An Lushan, who wants to invite merit and favor, can only play yin tricks repeatedly, use various means to fight against other tribes, and deceive the center, so as to gain the trust and attention of the emperor and the imperial court.

Shi Siming glanced at Li Guangbi beside him, and snorted softly. People in the world often say that literati are inferior to each other, but in fact, the same is true of martial artists, not to mention Shi Siming, who has always been conceited.

In fact, Shi Siming, who was a Turkic from Ningyi Prefecture, was originally known as Ashina Rangan. Shi Siming, who is a descendant of the Turks, also has an unclear relationship with Shi Guo, one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and he is the same as Li Guangbi, who is a descendant of the Khitan, both of them are Liucheng, Yingzhou, in the Tang Dynasty. These two life-and-death enemies, who later played against each other on the battlefield for many years, were actually fellow villagers. Of course, in the same township of Liucheng in Yingzhou, you can also add another fat man.

Unlike Li Guangbi, who is the second generation of officials, Shi Siming's same year was extremely difficult.

In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, Shi Siming was desperate because of his debts to the government, so he fled to the Xi tribe in the north and was caught by the Xi people. Shi Siming pretended to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty court, and deceived the king of Xi, who was afraid of the Tang Dynasty, to send the most powerful general, Zogao, to lead a hundred Xi tribes as envoys to worship the Tang Emperor Li Longji. Then on the way, he deceived Pei Xiuzi, the general of Pinglu, that Zogao and others were here to attack Pinglu, and Pei Xiuzi believed it and killed all the people except Zogao. At that time, Zhang Shouqi was very happy to see that Xi Ren's most talented Zogao was arrested, and thought that Shi Siming had made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, Shi Siming was prosperous in official fortune, and he was personally approached by Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong, and was given the name "Shi Siming", and his speed of progress was only a little worse than that of his old buddy An Lushan.

Shi Siming's beginnings of fortune were extremely shameless and dramatic. But I have to say that this person is good at building momentum according to the times, and his intelligence, ability, and courage are extremely outstanding. Because of his confidence in his own strength, courage, and intelligence, he naturally couldn't look down on Li Guangbi next to him. Even if he knew that the Hexi soldier next to him was not an ordinary thing.

Li Guangbi's father, Li Kailuo, was originally a Khitan chieftain, and Wu Zetian returned to the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Wu Zhou Yanhe, as General Zuo Xiaowei, he participated in the Battle of Lengcheng in which Wu Zhou conquered the Khitan and Xi coalition forces. In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the tired official Zuo Yulin General was the same as the Duke of Jiguo. As the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, he led the elite soldiers to repel the Tibetans and died on the road.

With the shadow of the door, Li Guangbi served as Zuo Weilang when he first joined the army, and then served as Zuo Qingdao's leader and protector of Anbei, and after being appreciated by Wang Zhonghe, he rose all the way and became a rising star in Hexi Town. His background and circumstances made Shi Siming, who had no ambition in his early years, extremely jealous and resentful.

Therefore, he has never had a good impression of Li Guangbi, the historical enemy, and it should even be said that he has a fatalistic sense of rejection and hostility. Of course, now he is very satisfied with himself and Li Guangbi on an equal footing in terms of official status.

It's just that his hostility still can't be suppressed in his heart, in addition to his different backgrounds, what makes him jealous and crazy the most is Li Guangbi's encounter. Because Li Guangbi, like himself, is also appreciated by his boss. But the difference between the two is that Shi Siming is important to An Lushan, and it is extremely important because the two are childhood companions. And Li Guangbi was completely appreciated by Wang Zhongsi because of his own ability. Even, Wang Zhonghe's sentence "He who wins my soldiers one day, he will be glorious", is already known to the whole world.

Although the position of the Jiedu envoy was the emperor's decision alone, there was no doubt that Wang Zhonghe, who was the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu at the time, would have such a great impact on the emperor. Even within the Hexi Army, it has been rumored that for a few years, if Wang Zhonghei enters the dynasty as the prime minister, I am afraid that it will be Li Guangbi who will succeed him as the envoy of the Hexi Festival. This made Shi Siming extremely jealous and hateful. Because An Lushan does trust him Shi Siming, he is indeed the number two person in the Pinglu Army. But in addition to favoring him, An Lushan also attaches great importance to An Shouzhong, Cai Xide, and Tian Qianzhen. And if you talk about the status in An Lushan's heart, I am afraid that An Shouzhong and Tian Qianzhen are still above him Shi Siming. And the courtesy and favor that Li Guangbi received among the generals under Wang Zhonghei's account are unique. This point was heard even by the Pinglu Army, which was separated from the Hexi Army by 108,000 miles.

Thinking of this, his face was even more heavy, and he unexpectedly snorted with disdain.

After perceiving Shi Siming's hostility, Li Guangbi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he did not show any other expression. A young general of the Hexi Army beside him was furious when he heard this, and when everyone was about to retreat to their respective tents, he suddenly shouted: "I have heard that Shi Zhonglang is the number one archer in Hebei, and his bow and horse archery skills are extremely good. On behalf of the soldiers of the Hexi Army, I am willing to challenge Shi Zhonglang! ”

Hearing this, the audience stopped and marveled. Someone actually wanted to challenge the first archer in Hebei, and the nobles of the Tang Empire were overjoyed when they heard it, thinking that they were going to watch a good show again.

When the generals of the Pinglu Army heard this, they all showed angry expressions. Shi Siming, who was originally a little blocked in his heart, had a dark face when he heard this, and the audience was as if he had been splashed with a bucket of water, and it was suddenly extremely cold.
