410 On the reward of meritorious deeds (plus 1)
After Cui Jing finished telling the story of building the Daming Palace, Cui Shang, the secretary of the household department, reported the recent income and expenditure of the household department.
Then, a certain official reported that a certain place was affected, a certain imperial history impeached a certain official for immorality, etc., it can be said that there are all kinds of things, because of the problem of a title, the two imperial historians also fought on the spot with a red face and a thick neck, like a woman quarreling, nagging and arguing for more than two quarters of an hour without stopping, Liu Yuan listened to it and dozed off in the back.
Unconsciously, he has been standing for almost an hour, and this court meeting has not yet ended, at first Liu Yuan listened with great interest, but when he heard the back, he found that this court was not fun at all, much more boring than he imagined, while listening, he leaned on the pillar of the temple and dozed off, and Cheng Huailiang watched from the side, and he laughed twice, and did not say anything.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu"
"Yo" Liu Yuan felt that someone was calling for him, and someone kicked his feet lightly, and he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up, and then he happened to hear Li Erzheng saying in his vigorous and neutral voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the political affairs have been completed, and now I will commend the meritorious people who went to Tibet."
Finally got to the point, Liu Yuan perked up, as if he saw the black gauze hat and a large sum of silver flying towards him, and nodded to Cheng Huai who was happy on his face, to thank him for reminding him just now.
Cheng Huailiang was in a good mood, and when he saw Liu Yuan nodding at him, he also gave Liu Yuan a bright smile.
At this time, a eunuch with a loud voice took a book of records and began to read it out loud:
"On the Shangyuan Festival, Songtsen Gampu raised 200,000 soldiers, soldiers in Songzhou, in times of crisis, the military department Shangshu, Zhenfan general Hou Junji, Feng Ming led 5,000 elite to fight in Tibet. Punish the immorality of Tubo, raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhenbo army set off from Minzhou, captured Maqin, at the cost of slightly injuring five people, annihilated more than 5,000 Tubo defenders, Maqin guarded the general, killed on the spot, and won perfectly, after capturing Maqin. Crossing the Yellow River, he fought on the Mobei Plateau, where he beheaded more than 100,000 enemies and killed 236 Tibetan generals in three months. Among them, there were 22 senior generals above the head of a thousand households, and countless cattle, sheep, horses, and goods were seized. Besides. Destroyed a secret forging workshop in Tibet, burned a large amount of military rations in Tibet, and used counter-plots to cause civil strife in Tibet, suppress the headquarters of Liu Yuan of the Tibetan army, and capture a princess of Tibet. Victory. ”
Although many people know that the Zhenfan army of Ludao has made great gains in this trip, there is no such detailed data, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs heard that Du Xi was overjoyed, and many people couldn't help but applaud each other on the spot
This is the role of the Zhenfan Army. Tubo can be said to be kneeling to sue for peace, cutting land for compensation, and claiming to be a courtier, which makes Datang extremely satisfied, and now when he hears the merits of the Zhenfan army, they can't help but applaud.
Awesome, Liu Yuan admires the skills of these politicians, the soldiers are in Songzhou, and most of the elite of Tubo have been evacuated, on the Mobei Plateau, most of them are old and weak, and there is naturally no pressure to deal with these people with the elite of the Tang Dynasty, as for the beheading of more than 100,000, that is even the ordinary people of Tubo are counted together, and there is no way to study whether there is water in them, especially those seized, the number is indeed good, but the Zhenfan army can't take it away even if it is captured, it is either killed on the spot or destroyed on the spot, it is those goods, Most of them were also discarded in the hunt, and were not put into storage, these were not said, and the five thousand tigers and wolves went out on the expedition, and those who could come back alive and bring the disabled were less than a thousand people, and there was no mention of them.
A typical report of good news and no bad news, no matter when, is an unspoken rule of officialdom.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, be quiet for a while." Li Er said happily.
As soon as Li Er spoke, the ministers in the Taiji Hall suddenly calmed down, and one by one stood upright, holding their breath and concentrating, to see if Li Er had anything to say, especially Cheng Huailiang, he knew that the following was the reward for meritorious deeds, and his ears stretched out.
"All the soldiers went out to fight, fought bloodily, and made great contributions to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. After Li Er looked at the civil and military ministers in the hall, he nodded at Hou Junji, who was standing in the military attaché, and said with a smile: "Hou Aiqing." ”
Hearing this, Hou Junji left the queue where he was standing, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The minister is here"
"The Zhenfan army has outstanding military achievements, the border area is mighty, Hou Aiqing is the head of the Zhenfan army, the command is proper, the soldiers are like gods, and the first merit is really indispensable, and now it is renamed Chen Guogong, the general of Zhenfan, and 500 households are sealed, and the 500 households will be sealed in the place where Tubo ceded it, and 10,000 taels of gold, 30 beauties, and 300 acres of fertile land will be rewarded as a reward."
"The emperor's grace is vast, waiting for the monarch to gather sincerity and panic, and he can't repay the emperor's favor if he dies." Li Er's reward, not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, but even Hou Junji was so excited that he almost fainted.
The gold and silver beauty field behind, Hou Junji is not very important, for him, he has been fighting for many years, he has long been worth a lot of money, the most exciting thing for him is Chen Guogong, Zhenfan General These two rewards, the title of the Tang Dynasty is divided into duke, Hou, uncle, son, male five, etc., under the general trend of the country, it is difficult to get the sub-seal, because the benefits of the nobles are too much, and now they are thinking about how to cut, and they are cautious when sealing, and now Li Er suddenly changed his title to Chen Guogong, and increased the sealing household, which is extremely generous.
That can be hereditary.
As for the general of Zhenfan, that is a kind of affirmation, he was previously named the general of Zhenfan, which was a small number of troops, and now it has been changed to the Zhenbo army, that is to say, Li Er has the intention to hand over the affairs of Tubo to Hou Junji to take care of, although Tubo is in civil strife, but at present, the affairs of Tubo are still the top priority of the Tang Dynasty, which means that Hou Junji's status in the army has been further improved.
Hou Junji was extremely satisfied in his heart, sure enough, he didn't enter the tiger's den, he got the tiger, put life and death out of the way, hung his head on his belt, and really fought out of amazing wealth, and after a few months of hardship, he once got a reward beyond imagination, can he not be satisfied?
At least, if there is no accident, the wealth of the Hou family for several generations is not a problem, the only thing that is a pity is that the feudal household is in the land ceded by Tubo, bordering Tubo, and it may be attacked by Tubo, but those are the future, Li Er's purpose is naturally to let Hou Junji be more attentive to suppress Tubo, Datang is good, he is good, if Datang is not good, his fief will suffer first.
Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing, Wei Chi Jingde and other generals were so jealous that their eyes erupted.
Looking at their eyes, they must be thinking: It was good that I went at the beginning, but no one thought that those 5,000 people would actually stab Tubo to the bottom.
After Hou Junji returned to his throne, Li Er shouted again: "Where is the public security of Zhao Guo?" ”
"The minister is here." The eldest grandson, Wuji, slowly walked out of the column and knelt on the ground.
"The guerrilla general Changsun Chong, outstanding in battle, iron bones, in Tubo to play my Tang Dynasty bones, especially the destruction of the Tubo secret forging workshop, cut off the source of Tubo weapons, it is a great achievement, but unfortunately it is a genius, died young, Zhao Guogong is missing a son, the Tang Dynasty is also missing a good son, now posthumously named Changsun Chong as the general of Mingwei, given the title of loyal Yongbo, I like to hear that Chong'er has a bloodline, if there is a son, this title can be inherited by the widow, and another 3,000 taels of gold, 300 acres of fertile land." Li Er said a little sadly.
The eldest grandson Wuji kowtowed three times in a row, and said with tears in his eyes: "The emperor's grace is mighty, and the old minister is grateful to the emperor on behalf of Chong'er." ”
What kind of golden field, for the eldest grandson Wuji, dispensable, the eldest grandson family, the family is big, and it is not bad for this thing, after the death of the eldest grandson, he chased General Mingwei, that is the fourth grade, that is, death, it is also prominent, for the eldest grandson Chong of the unintentional officialdom, it is not bad, the most important thing is to give a title that can be inherited by his son, and now the eldest grandson Chong has two posthumous sons, the probability is still very large, this is definitely the emperor's grace.
However, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that in addition to the kindness of the two families and the guilt of the eldest grandson Chong, Li Er was so generous to give away a knighthood, and it was also related to the fact that he took the initiative to write the divorce document, and the princess Li Li of Changle was free.
Changsun Chong is just a guerrilla general, and he was promoted to the fourth rank all of a sudden, and he was promoted to the general Mingwei from the fourth grade, which can be said to be unconventional, and the field of reward is the same as that of the commander Hou Junji, in addition, he also gave him a title that can be inherited, which can be said to be extremely spoiled, naked favoritism, when he was sealed, Li Er was still a little worried that some ministers would not accept and oppose, but the ministers below all looked at their noses and noses, and did not stand up, even Wei Heizi, who had always had the most opinions, also lowered his head and did not speak, and I don't know if he fell asleep.
The deceased is the greatest, just a title engraved on the tablet, do not waste the court's wealth, do not increase the burden of the treasury, the eldest grandson Wuji is a very human minister, and his prestige among the hundred officials is very high, the eldest grandson queen is the aunt of the eldest grandson, Li Er is the uncle, the eldest grandson Chonggui is the eldest son of the eldest grandson's family, not trying to be rich, not afraid of death, and would rather die on the battlefield than yield, and the eldest son of the people died on the battlefield, although it is a little favoritic, but everyone has no different meanings.
One is disrespectful to the deceased, the second offends the eldest grandson Wuji, and the third arouses Li Er's disgust, this kind of thing, even the upright Wei Heizi doesn't do it, and the fool does it.
After rewarding the eldest grandson, it was Cheng Huailiang's turn.
To Liu Yuan's surprise, although Cheng Huailiang is Li Er's quasi-son-in-law, he was only promoted from a guerrilla general to a general Ning Yuan under the fifth grade, not to mention the fourth grade, that is, the fifth rank or the fifth grade.
However, Liu Yuan thought about it in a blink of an eye, and immediately understood that Changsun Chong's military exploits were great, and he died in battle, while Cheng Huailiang's military exploits were average, and he also became a prisoner of the Tubo people.
"Where is Liu Yuan'an?"
With Li Er's question, Liu Yuan couldn't help but snort: It's finally his turn. (To be continued......)
