Chapter 23: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds (I)
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, and the king of Qin, Li Shimin, is crowned as the crown prince, and the prime minister is in power! The rebel son Li Jiancheng intended to mutiny and rebel and cut off the crown prince. Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, followed the prince to rebel and cut off the prince. The two masterminds have been ambushed, and they will no longer pursue the rest of the party in depth to reassure the people. The rest of the party was handled at the discretion of the crown prince Li Shimin. ”
Emperor Li Yuan issued a holy decree, which can be regarded as the end of this matter. As for how many dirty things are in this, this will not be known to the general public, at most there will be such a reward in the pile of old papers of history, so that future generations can speculate some specious answers from those fragmentary news, or there will never be real answers. No one knows what Li Shimin said to Li Yuan after entering Li Yuan's dormitory, and Li Yuan issued this holy decree to end a bloody coup d'état. And Li Yuan has handed over the power of the whole country to Li Shimin, Li Shimin is the de facto emperor, and although Li Yuan is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it has become history.
"Hahahaha, I'm very happy today, I have become the crown prince, and the prime minister of the whole country is in power." Li Shimin couldn't help but be excited.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!" "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we have been waiting for this day for a long time!" "We got through it!"
"Jun Xian, why don't you speak?" Li Shimin asked again, and he found that Li Junxian did not say a word of congratulations.
Li Junxian said unhurriedly: "The minister is very happy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can show his ambitions, hold the Qiankun pen in his hand, and write his pride on this picturesque country." ”
"Good! This statement is very good, holding a pen in your hand, writing arbitrarily on the picturesque rivers and mountains! This is a good analogy, you bachelors, how can you let a general be compared? Li Shimin said excitedly.
The eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui was a little speechless, they were excited for a while, but they didn't come up with any good words. Now that Li Junxian is in the lead, this is too helpless for everyone. You are a military attaché, why are you so talented? Last time in Xuanwumen, I didn't make a poem that expressed pride, and now there are witty words to praise the prince Li Shimin, which is a bit of a limelight.
Li Shimin sat down, and suddenly said seriously: "All of you who are doing it, I understand what everyone is doing with me in the wind and rain, and even after all these years of bloody rain." Don't you just want to end the troubled times, and gain a reputation for yourself, so that you can be crowned a wife and a son? Now that the world is about to be pacified, only the traitor Liang Shi will act as the last resistance. However, I am very grateful to everyone for killing the traitor Li Jiancheng and obtaining the crown prince for me. I said before that I want to share the prosperity with you, and this is my vow to you. Now, the time has come for me to make good on that promise. ”
When everyone heard Li Shimin's words, they immediately became excited. They have been fighting with Li Shimin for so many years, isn't it just to be able to get a job of sealing his wife and son today? Now that this achievement is in front of us, of course everyone is excited! The reason why they followed Li Shimin's mutiny was, to a certain extent, that their life's efforts were tied to Li Shimin. If Li Shimin can't become the emperor, will they, Li Shimin's hardcore descendants, be any good? And Li Jiancheng also has his own staff, and even if they take refuge, they will not be taken seriously. Therefore, for the sake of their own merits and for the sake of their half of their life's hard work, they are destined to take an adventure with Li Shimin. Now that the adventure has succeeded, it's finally time for them to reap the rewards.
"Be quiet, today, I'm going to announce everyone's contributions!"
"The eldest grandson Wuji, the first person to follow me, is still my eldest brother. For many years, I was born and died, the merit is the first, I am named the prince of the country, and I am the prime minister, no one should object, right? Li Shimin said.
Everyone nodded, it can be regarded as giving Li Shimin face, after all, they are a family, and it is okay to talk about the first credit.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was full of red light, as if his daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law for many years, and now he was about to become the most powerful person in the country, and he was very excited.
"Mr. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, help me with advice, you can be in charge of Shangshu Province, and you can divide the left and right servants, do you have any problems?" Li Shimin asked again.
Everyone present nodded for a while, and they all recognized Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui's contributions. Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui is Li Shimin's most important strategist, although the grade is not high now, but he is really their hardcore strategist. Everyone present knew the credit of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, so it was normal to be called the head of Shangshu Province. And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't expect that they would be able to become Shang Shu's servants, and they were very excited. Among the three official positions of the leaders of Shangshu Province, Shangshu Ling was held by Li Shimin, so everyone dared not think about it. Therefore, the left servant shooting and the right servant shooting are the highest official positions in Shangshu Province, and they are almost the highest ranking among the officials with actual power. Although the grade can be regarded as an absolute embodiment of power, it is enough to show that their status is important, and it may even be no less than the "national uncle" of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Next, Li Shimin said that some important civil officials were rewarded, but the level was not as high as those three people. Then it's time to announce the general's reward.
"Hou Junji, follow me to participate in the killing of the traitor Li Jiancheng, and temporarily be named the general of the Left Guard. Wei Chi Gong, who has followed me into battle to kill the enemy for many years, charged ahead, and killed the traitor Li Yuanji, and temporarily commanded the Wuhou Guard in Chang'an City. Cheng bites Jin Cheng Zhijie and worships the prince's right guard rate. The rest of the generals have their own rewards. ”
Hou Junjiwei Chi Gong and Cheng Yanjin were very satisfied with this reward, and they almost reached the peak of military attachés in one step. They are like Spiegel in their hearts, as long as Li Shimin ascends the throne not long after, that will be the moment when they become the pinnacle of military attachés. They can mix to this extent in this life, and it's worth it.
Li Shimin then looked at the people present, and suddenly asked, "Jun Xian, why don't you seem to care about what reward you can get?" ”
Only then did everyone find out that Li Junxian was still very calm and did not have any anxiety. If you want to say that the person who has the greatest credit in the Xuanwumen Change, Li Junxian is definitely one of them. If it weren't for Li Junxian's two hundred soldiers, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy for them to successfully kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. And now it is not too much to reward Li Junxian, but Li Junxian is very unhurried, which makes everyone a little puzzled.
