After a long time, the crown prince asked, "Chief Wang, how can our father show weakness to us?" ”

Wang De replied: "Your Majesty hopes that His Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and King Qi can write a letter of repentance to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, regretting that he was blinded by hatred and made a big mistake, and I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Qin can forgive." ”

Qi Wang Yuanji jumped like thunder and said: "This is impossible. No matter what the prince's brother does, I can't do it anyway. ”

Wang De, the chief eunuch, said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, with the dignity of His Majesty, now he has to show weakness to His Royal Highness the King of Qin. If you don't write a letter of repentance, will Your Highness spoil Your Majesty's great affairs? ”

Qi Wang Yuanji stopped talking and looked at Wang De with resentment.

Wang De didn't care at all, and said slowly: "The two highnesses of the crown prince and the king of Qi, as long as they can get through this crisis, Your Majesty can completely control the situation in the entire imperial capital, with Your Majesty's love for the two highnesses, will Your Majesty let the two highnesses suffer such a big grievance in vain?" ”

The crown prince Jiancheng asked: "Does the chief manager mean that after the father and emperor control the situation, he will severely punish the king of Qin?" ”

Wang De said: "The power of King Qin is too great, and Your Majesty is also forced to show weakness, severely punish King Qin, Your Majesty will definitely do it." ”

The crown prince Jiancheng looked at Qi Wang Yuanji.

Qi Wang Yuanji gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Since my father and emperor have shown weakness, this time, we admit our mistakes." However, another day, I must let Li Shimin, the king of Qin, double it back. ”

Wang De said: "Okay, that's good." The crown prince and the king of Qi are so concerned about the overall situation, Your Majesty will definitely be very pleased to know it. ”

Soon, Wang De returned to Chang'an, the imperial capital, with the letter of repentance of the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji.

Qin Wangfu, the study of Li Shimin, King of Qin.

Wang De, the chief eunuch, said to Li Shimin, the king of Qin: "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Rites to choose the nicknames for the two generals Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin, General Li Daoxuan's nickname is tentatively set as 'Lie', and General Luo Shixin's nickname is tentatively set as 'Yong', Your Highness, can you see it?" ”

After the death of the ancient princes and generals, the imperial court gave them a title according to their life and deeds. It is the official evaluation of them by the imperial court, and it is also their final conclusion on the coffin, the name is important, and the imperial court is also very cautious and fair. 'Lie' and 'brave' are both praises, indicating that the Tang Dynasty's evaluation of Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin is still very positive, and they think that they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, said after a deep sigh: "Shixin is brave, he is a rare warrior, a brave word, the evaluation is objective, and it is in line with his life; Dao Xuan is brave and fierce, a strong word, which is also quite in line with Dao Xuan's life. I understand my father's painstaking efforts. But Dao Xuan's nickname, I want to change it. ”

Wang De asked, "I wonder how His Highness wants to change it?" ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, said: "Change the word martyr to the word Zhuang, I want to tell the whole world through Daoxuan's nickname, tell the whole world that Daoxuan they died tragically, they were built by my Tang Dynasty prince and framed by Qi King Yuanji." ”

Wang De sighed: "Your Highness still has anger in her heart." However, His Royal Highness mentioned it, and the old slave told His Majesty that General Li Daoxuan's nickname was set as a strong character. ”

As he spoke, Wang De took out the letters of repentance of the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji, handed it to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the prince and the king of Qi are sincerely repentant, this is their letter of repentance, you can take a look." ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, took the letter of repentance from the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi, Yuanji, and watched it carefully.

Wang De persuaded on the side: "Your Highness, the crown prince, and the king of Qi are brothers of the same mother after all. Before His Majesty was proclaimed emperor, the relationship between His Royal Highness and the crown prince and the king of Qi was very harmonious. The old slave saw that it was also true. In the entire imperial court, who does not envy His Majesty's godson in a good way, His Royal Highness's three brothers, brothers, friends and brothers? His Royal Highness and the King of Qi's calligraphy and kung fu were all taught by His Royal Highness the Prince, at that time, the Prince, His Royal Highness, and the King of Qi were really harmonious. In the past two years, although the prince, His Royal Highness, and King Qi have some misunderstandings and some unpleasantness, whether it is His Royal Highness, the crown prince, and King Qi, they all have this brotherly affection in their hearts. Your Majesty is old, he has always hoped that His Royal Highness can live in harmony with the crown prince and the king of Qi, and has made a lot of efforts, he has reconciled, and also let His Royal Highness live closer and communicate more. Although the effect is not great, it is also a piece of His Majesty's good intentions. ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, fell into deep thought with nostalgia on his face. I secretly said in my heart: "What a beautiful time it was." At that time, I still admired my brother Jiancheng, and Jiancheng was so gentle and polite. At that time, the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was suspicious of his father, and his father Li Yuan tried his best to eliminate Emperor Yang's suspicions, and he was tired of coping with it, and he had no intention of family affairs at all. They were all built by their eldest brothers, and they fulfilled their responsibility to take care of their brothers, sheltering them from the wind and rain and preventing them from being harmed. At that time, he and Yuanji were young, and they both faithfully followed Jiancheng, and Jiancheng did his best to protect them and educate them. ”

Thinking of this, Qin King Li Shimin's tears couldn't help but flow.

Seeing that King Qin was in tears, Wang De, the chief eunuch, was calm on the surface, and he was overjoyed in his heart.

A few days later, the bodies of Li Daoxuan, the king of Henan and the eastern capital, and Luo Shixin, the prince of Tan Guo and the governor of Jiangzhou, were transported back to the imperial capital of Chang'an from the eastern capital Luoyang. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led Li Xuan, Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and other confidants of the Qin Wangfu to meet him in Gaoling County, forty miles away from the imperial capital Chang'an. Seeing the corpses of Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, cried loudly: "Daoxuan, Shixin, my brother, my poor brother, you died unjustly." ”

The henchmen behind Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also wept bitterly.

In the Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Li Yuan summoned his ministers and ordered: "All the officials of the imperial capital Chang'an, big and small, should walk twenty miles to Fuping County, the imperial capital, to welcome back the two generals Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin, who died in the battle for my Tang Dynasty. ”

In Fuping County, when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led the henchmen of the Qin Palace, he was moved when he saw that Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, personally led the officials of Chang'an, the imperial capital, to greet him.

Emperor Li Yuan stretched out his arms, hugged Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and said: "The crown prince and the king of Qi have done too much, and the grievances of Daoxuan and Shixin's death, you don't have to be too sad, I will uphold justice for Daoxuan and Shixin, and let their funerals be beautiful." ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, wept bitterly.

Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict: "Posthumously presented Li Daoxuan as the king of Henan in the Tang Dynasty, nicknamed 'Zhuang', and posthumously presented Luo Shixin as the Duke of Tanguo in the Tang Dynasty, nicknamed 'Yong', hereditary replacement." ”

After hearing the words hereditary recklessness, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty were taken aback, this honor is really too rare, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no courtier has won this honor. Unexpectedly, today's Tang Emperor Li Yuan actually gave this honor to Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin.

Since the Qin Dynasty Shilong Emperor Qin Shi Huang, after the unification of the world, in order to combat the hereditary power of the aristocracy, the founding heroes, all the ministers will only pass on the title of prime minister for three generations, each inheritance, the title is reduced by one level, after three generations, the title is eliminated, and the hereditary system of meritorious heroes is canceled. Later dynasties such as the Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, and the same was true of the Tang Dynasty, where all titles were only passed on for three generations, and after three generations, the titles were eliminated. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Tang Emperor Li Yuan opened his golden mouth, he gave the honor of hereditary recklessness to Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin. Hereditary replacement is the ability to pass on the title from generation to generation, and the number of hereditary successions is unlimited, and the title will not be downgraded.
