Chapter 53: On Meritorious Deeds

Li Yuan was old, tired for a while, and was already tired, so he rested for a while, eased his spirits, and only then met with 21 generals headed by Li Jing, Luo Shixin, and Li Shiji in the Taiji Hall of the main hall of the Taiji Palace.

"Turkic tigers and wolves, repeatedly invade the border. When the time comes, start to ask for it. Li Jingyi, the governor of Lingzhou, the acting prince, did not avoid the enemy, intelligently observed the subtleties, densely packed with sharp soldiers, and pointed to the generals. Winning a thousand miles, there is no last resort, to Chen Shiju brigade, beheading the prisoners. Then he broke the Turks and northern Xinjiang, and captured the head of the thieves and Chang'an. Wei Zhen Beidi, only the ancient famous general Bai Han Weihuo can be compared, specially sealed the military department of Shangshu, added the seal of Zuo Guanglu doctor, gave thousands of silk horses, and sealed 400 households. ”

Li Yuan's voice fell, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

Li Jing pacified the Turks and won the world's miraculous merits, and there must have been a lot of awards, but no one expected that Li Yuan would directly make Li Jing the secretary of the military department, directly in charge of the military department, and also crowned Doctor Zuo Guanglu and awarded Wenxun as a military general.

One of the six Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the first nickname was Da Sima, and was the chief executive in charge of the military of the whole country, and Li Jing directly became the head of the military attachés and was in charge of military affairs.

This is not the most critical, the most critical thing for Li Jing is to crown Doctor Zuo Guanglu. This military general was awarded the honor of Wenxun, which means the transition from a military general to a civilian official.

The Tang Dynasty was heavily martial, and generally speaking, the status of military generals was higher than that of civil officials, but the real influence of the imperial court, and the civil officials above 10,000 people under one person were always unchanged.

Li Jing's transfer from martial arts to literature will undoubtedly be a prelude to the feudal marquis and worship the prime minister.

Li Jing won such an honor......

The civil ministers and military generals who understand the truth are all envious and enter the phase. Participating in state affairs is something that all civil and military people dream of.

Li Jing's face was simple, his expression could not show joy and anger, and he accepted the reward very calmly.

Li Jing was followed by Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin as the main force to attract the Turks head-on. His amazing appearance was the key to this great victory, and he was also a disciple of the disciples, and his merits were higher than Li Shiji's achievements on the other side.

"Tan Guogong, the general of the town army, Luo Shixin, the governor of Xiazhou, entered the tomb of the tiger and killed the whale salamander in an instant. The long drive into the wasteland is about to be heard, and the resounding resounding is in the northland. Hold the soldiers, and win the hearts of people. The enemy of Gawanfu has been intimidated by the fierce spirit, and China and foreign countries are called fast. He was specially punished by the Ministry of Justice, and was awarded the title of General of the Auxiliary State, giving 800 horses of silk and 100 households of food. ”

This is a reward. Wenwu had another whispered discussion.

Following Li Jing. Luo Shixin was directly transferred from the general on the edge of the town to the central government and became an important member of the organ. Those with a keen sense of politics have already detected a little unusual movement from it, and it seems that there will be such a huge political change in the near future.

Moreover, although the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has the atmosphere of a military attaché, he is a real civilian official.

Li Jing was awarded the title of Wenxun by a military general, and Luo Shixin was also transferred from a military general to a civilian official, and concurrently served as a noble military general such as an auxiliary general.

Li Jing is just that, Luo Shixin is only a few years old, and he is also a civil and military officer. That's a lot of weight.

They knew that in Li Yuan's eyes, Luo Shixin was a trusted family member, and in Li Shimin's eyes, Luo Shixin had "meritorious service from the dragon" to him. The status of oneself is very different.

Luo Shixin was also stunned for a while, this Jin Feng Auxiliary General is understandable. In recent years, he has repeatedly made military exploits, no one can compare, the auxiliary general is well-deserved, even if he goes to the next level, he is not much criticized as the hussar general.

But the secretary of the criminal department asked him to manage the criminal department, so did he manage it?

The Criminal Department is one of the six ministries, in charge of the law order, criminal law, and the prohibition of the country, he is a general who is good at fighting, let him do this?

However, this reward is below, and Luo Shixin has to accept it. In order to fight the Turks, he unfortunately sacrificed two years to reunite with his wife, bored his head in Gyeongju, trained troops in Shuofang, and now the Turks are peaceful. Even if he is demoted and transferred back to Chang'an, he has no opinion.

The secretary of the criminal department is a real political official, a Beijing official. Regardless of whether he can serve or not, it is a happy event to be able to return to Chang'an.

"Thank you!" Luo Shixin shouted his order.

The next person to be entitled was Li Shiji, Li Yuan transferred Li Jing and Luo Shixin back to Chang'an, and the border also needed to be guarded by one person to deter the grassland tribes. Li Shiji deservedly accepted this favor and was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou, responsible for guarding the borders of the Tang Dynasty to deter the grasslands.

The next Su Dingfang was canonized as the governor of Shuofang, Liu Renliang was the Sima of Xiazhou, Mo Huer was the governor of Yanzhou, Xue Yong was the governor of Suizhou, and the rest were well rewarded with the merits in the merit book.

Hearing the following reward, Luo Shixin also reacted: He has now been canonized as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the secretary of the Criminal Department is an important position in the central government and holds an important position in the central government. Now he can no longer hold the power of the army. Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Mo Hu'er, and Xue Yong, who followed him, have all grown up and made enough meritorious contributions to be able to take charge on their own.

Thinking of this, Luo Shixin's expression was a little complicated, they were all comrades-in-arms who followed him all the way, brothers who shared life and death, but now it was time to separate.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sad.

Like Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Mo Hu'er, and Xue Yong also showed the same expressions one by one.

Luo Shixin usually has no fight, he mingles up and down, and he often shelters them in wartime, and they all have a feeling of happiness when they mix with such generals, but now they want to share their own things, and they feel sad when they think about it......

Thinking of this, it was clear that they had all been promoted and rewarded, but everyone was not happy.

After this meritorious deed, it is naturally a celebration banquet.

Li Yuan set up a banquet to celebrate the victory.

Luo Shixin led Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Mo Hu'er, Xue Yong and others on the way to Chengtianmen, and everyone didn't say a word and walked silently.

At this moment, the fragrance blew in, and a person moved to his side.

Luo Shixin glanced sideways, but it was his beloved wife Pingyang.

Pingyang, as the left and right guard general of the Tang Dynasty, is also one of the hundred civil and military officials. Ailang, who has been looking at Li Yuan behind and making great contributions, is reluctant to blink her eyes, if it weren't for this public, she would have already left her reserve and come forward to tell the pain of lovesickness.

Luo Shixin's abnormality, she was the first to notice, and she was also thinking in Ailang's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "This gathering and dispersion is human nature. Lang Jun is a hero in the world, worthy of the name of Huo Hussar in the world, and the road in the future will only go farther and farther. I heard my father say that if it weren't for the pharmacist who took up the position of the secretary of the military department, this secretary of the military department would be none other than Lang Jun. Lang Jun is only twenty-five this year, and it is not a matter of time before he will enter the phase. Even if you don't separate today, tomorrow the day after tomorrow, there will be a time to part, I know that Langjun is reluctant to be a brother, but your expression falls into the eyes of people with a heart, doesn't it become a love for military power? With the improvement of status, the safest thing is how far away and how far away is the military power. It's not that there will be no chance to work together and get along with each other in the future, with Lang Jun's ability, once there is a war, there will be less Lang Jun. As long as you go on the expedition, you still don't have a chance to get together? ”

Luo Shixin listened to Pingyang's words of consolation, and his heart was also tight.

Thinking about the current situation, I gradually looked away.

All dynasties and dynasties have been on guard against the generals who hold military power, and the Tang Dynasty is the same.

Unless he continues to stay in Xiazhou as the governor, or as a general on the edge of the town. Otherwise, it would not be possible to hold the power of the army. No matter how favored Luo Shixin is, it is impossible for Li Yuan and Li Shimin to break this death system for him.

As the governor of Xia Prefecture and the general of the Zhenjun army, he made such a great contribution to sweeping away the Turks and transferring him back to Chang'an for appointment, and it was impossible to demote him to the rank of general of the Twelve Guards in order to let him lead the troops. It is even more impossible to let him lead the border soldiers remotely after he is promoted to enter the political field, which is inevitable.

In the future, he may be promoted to prime minister with military merits, which makes it even more impossible for him to hold military power when he becomes prime minister.

When the prime minister holds the military power, does he want to be Cao Cao or Sima Zhao?

This is a matter of common sense.

As Pingyang said, the higher the meritorious service, the higher the status, and the farther away from the military power. In this way, it can truly become the kind of model that history says that the master of the world is undoubted.

Moreover, with the system of the Tang Dynasty, this lack of military power does not mean that it will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future.

As long as an appointment is made, an official of any position can be appointed as the general manager of the march to command the three armies, and as long as there is a war, he can get the opportunity to lead the army to fight.

This was a policy of the Tang Dynasty to prevent military generals from becoming bigger.

Challenging this policy is not seeking death.

Under Ma Zhou's training, Luo Shixin gradually developed a certain political vision, noticed this, and understood.

There is a give-and-take!

As a general in commanding the army, if he wants to continue to go up like him, he must give up his military power in order to climb high and stand firm.

Insatiable, he wanted to climb high and wanted to be with his brothers, but he couldn't let go of the military power in his hands, and he only ended up walking on thin ice and finally fell to death on the spot.

Luo Shixin reached out and pinched Pingyang's slightly rough hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Madame, for your advice!" ”

In front of this civil and military official, Pingyang ran away as if he had been electrocuted, his face was blushing, and he left Luo Shixin alone.

Luo Shixin turned around with a smile, looked at the generals he brought out, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, work hard in the future and embarrass Lao Tzu." It's all the people I brought out, and I don't want people to say that the generals brought out by Luo Shixin are all rubbish. In the future, I will have the opportunity to go on an expedition, if His Majesty will transfer you to my command. You brought Lao Tzu a group of sick seedlings, and Lao Tzu lost the battle, and Lao Tzu plucked your skin. ”

Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang were the most steady, and nodded together: "What the general said is true." ”

The former said: "Su Dingfang has learned a lot under the general, if there is no general guidance, there will be no Su Dingfang today." ”

The latter followed the head and said: "With the great general's weight, I, Liu Renliang, have today, and I will never forget the cultivation grace of the general." (To be continued......)
