Chapter 215 Sealing the wife and the child

(There are too many pros who reward little pink.) I can't count them, so I'll thank you here. Today's chapter is really hard to write, and I have turned over a lot of information with all my heart. I wrote, deleted, deleted, written, and tossed until now. Let's treat you to a few more little pinks, wow............ ）

At the beginning of the war, His Majesty Emperor Taizong, who had changed into a regular dress, and the eldest grandson, Empress Niangniang, who was dressed in a full costume, appeared on time in the main hall. Li Shimin had a smile on his face, and happily responded to the greetings of his courtiers. Empress Eldest Sun also had a dignified and virtuous posture on her face, smiling and greeting the families of these courtiers.

When he was young, the majestic drum music sounded, and it was the most famous 'Qin King Breaking Array Music' in the Tang Dynasty. This song and dance was written when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, leading his army to defeat the rebel Liu Wuzhou and consolidating the Tang Dynasty regime that had just been established at that time. So, his soldiers filled in the old songs with new words and sang praises for Li Shimin. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he personally choreographed this piece into a dance, and then after the processing and sorting of the court artists, it became a huge and magnificent large-scale music and dance. In the original tune, the tone of the turtle is kneaded. Tactful and catchy, high-spirited and highly appealing. At the same time, there is a large court band accompaniment, the big drum shook the sky, the sound of hundreds of miles, the momentum is majestic, moving the heavens and the earth. This song and dance made all the officials excited when they saw it, and the excitement was extraordinary, and it has been passed down. Whenever there is a grand festival or a court feast, this song and dance will be performed!

The grand celebration feast began in this majestic music. Li Shimin sat high in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, did not speak, held the wine bottle high to signal to the ministers, and then raised his head and toasted three glasses in a row, which shows how happy he is today. As for why he didn't speak, he didn't come up, what did he mean by saying that those were shriveled and shriveled He was the emperor who fought the country from horseback, and he always retained some of the true qualities of a martial artist. Besides, at this time, the drums are noisy, who can hear him speak......

After three rounds of drinking, the majestic music also came to an end. Only then did Li Shimin wave his hand to let the musicians step back, and handed the empty wine glass in his hand to Wang De, who was waiting next to him, and asked him to fill it for himself. Wang De looked at the eldest grandson queen on the side with great concern, and saw that she bowed slightly, so he hesitated to pour Li Shimin half a cup. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin took the wine glass and looked at it, and his brows immediately wrinkled: "Wang De, is there no wine in the palace?"

Wang De hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "Your Majesty, there is a lot of wine in the palace." But you've already drunk a lot today, so you'd better take it easy, drinking too much hurts your body......"

Li Shimin smiled, he did have a little bit of alcohol, but he was still far from being drunk and hurting his body. So he didn't speak, called Wang De to his side, snatched the wine jug from his hand, held the wine jug in one hand and the wine glass in the other, poured himself a full glass, and raised it high in front of all the ministers in the palace:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy today, I am really happy, today, if you Aiqing is not drunk, it will be a rebellion, and you will not want to get out of this Hanyuan Palace! Come, ladies and gentlemen, this glass of wine, let's salute to the 60,000 blood-stained men of the Tang Dynasty! As he spoke, he raised his glass to the sky, then raised the wine bottle high and poured the jade liquid elixir into the cup......

Today's banquet. Among the more than 500 people, more than 300 are lieutenant generals and colonels of the counterinsurgency army. Almost all of their men were killed and wounded in this battle. At this time, when I saw that His Majesty the Emperor's first glass of wine was to pay tribute to the brothers who died in battle, everyone in the audience suddenly had red eyes! Raise your glasses in the same way, raise them to the sky, and then pour them to the ground!

Subsequently, the palace people who were waiting in the hall hurriedly lifted the wine jug and filled it one by one for the generals and officials in the field. Li Shimin kept holding the wine jug and didn't let go, and poured himself a second glass. Then he held it high again, containing emotion, and said impassionedly:

"This second cup of wine, I want to give it to the people of the world. The expropriation and suppression of mountain officials cost millions of dollars in money and food, and if you add the money and food needed for the aftermath and bereavement, the amount of silver is more than 10 million. There is no other place where this money and grain comes from, it is the billions of trillions of Li people under the emperor Zhou Tian, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, digging out of the ground with a knife and a hoe......

Jiang Zhuangyuan has a good saying: Jun, the boat also, the people also water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. This sentence was once denounced as a contempt for the people. However, I feel that this is the warning words of my Tang Dynasty monarchs. Ladies and gentlemen, please remember. This world belongs to me and yours, but it belongs to my 20 million people of the Tang Dynasty. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is the ...... that I have witnessed with countless blood and lives in the decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

The more Li Shimin spoke, the more excited he became, and seeing that he was in a state of being a little out of control, the eldest grandson queen on the side hurriedly coughed lightly twice to remind him. Only then did Li Shimin react, tonight was a celebration banquet, and it was not appropriate to take it out now, so he had to stop it in a huff. Most of the generals in the hall are martial artists, and their political sense is not so sensitive, so they can't smell anything. But the more than 200 ministers of the DPRK and China, including Jiang Zhixuan, all found that something was wrong:

On such a festive occasion, why did His Majesty suddenly mention Jiang Zhuangyuan's people, nobles, and some people who knew **** were already secretly frightened. It seems that His Majesty will not indulge in that matter after all......

Xiao Xiao hugged Yaya, slowly selected some nutritious and easy-to-digest food snacks with her hands, and carefully fed them to Yaya's mouth. The balls were held in the arms of the husband, and the tiger's head rubbed against his father's knees to join in the fun. Holding a fat sauce pig's trotters and gnawing on his face full of oil.

Hearing the words of His Majesty Li Er in front of him, Xiaoxiao had already slowly tasted it. She has been staying in Jingshi, and she often walks around the palace, plus she has her father Li Rusong, a favorite minister by the side of His Majesty the Emperor. A lot of information is much better-informed, therefore, Xiaoxiao can be regarded as a ****, and she also knows that the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case is about to turn the world upside down......

Li Shimin was reminded by Guanyin, and the anger in his heart that was burning more and more gradually extinguished. These people in front of him are all bloody battles. After pacifying the mountain wings for himself, the generals and soldiers of the army returned triumphantly. It's not the scum of the gang of officials and businessmen in the officialdom of Suzhou and Hangzhou, who are angry with them......

Thinking like this, a smile finally slowly appeared on his face again, and he poured himself a third glass of wine:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to give you this third cup of wine! If there is no strategy for you, without your painstaking efforts, without your dedication, without your bloody struggle. I, if I want to pacify the mountain bureaucrats, it is tantamount to a fool's dream! I want to thank you very much, come, do this toast, and then come and see if I am satisfied with the reward I have given to all of you."

Everyone in the audience heard His Majesty the Emperor say so sensational, they all raised their wine glasses and knelt down on one knee: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”。 After the sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami passed, everyone tilted their heads unusually simply and drank the wine in their glasses. Then they stood up and happily complimented each other, waiting for the great eunuch Wang De to announce his decree.

After Li Shimin drank this glass of wine, he put the wine glass and wine jug back on the desk in front of him and put them away. Then he asked for a hot towel from Gong E next to him, wiped his face, wiped his hands, and took a few sips of the decanting soup that had been prepared on the desk, and then bowed slightly to Wang De. Wang De's little liver that had been hanging was finally put down: My long-lived grandfather, you finally put down the wine glass...... Hurriedly paced to the steps in front of Li Shimin, cleared his throat, took out the holy decree of reward that had been prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, and read it out loud:

"Under the door:

In the past, Zhou Huanghuang was famous and famous; The heroes are clear, and they are divided into four directions. Today, there are Duan Zhixuan, the general of the left Xiaowei, and the general Qi Shanxing, the general of the right Weiwei, and Jiang Zhixuan, the living man of the province...... and others, dangping Liukou, Mingde is meritorious, offering prisoners to Taimiao, and Yixian Chenjie. Although loyal to the monarch and patriotic solidify the heart of the courtier. However, adding rank and pushing grace is the edict of the imperial court. Therefore, the act of loyalty and filial piety is not hesitant to praise ......"

After reading the previous nonsense in one go, Rao is a big eunuch like Wang De, who often reads holy decrees and has an amazing lung capacity, was also blushing and his neck was thick, and he almost didn't catch his breath in one breath, he was old...... After reezing for a long time, he finally came back to his senses and continued to read:

"Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, has worked hard for the country for more than ten years to defend the border and expand the territory. He was awarded the title of Duke of the State and the General of the Right Guard. 5,000 taels of gold, 10,000 horses of silk, and 800 households of food......"

"Minister's decree, thank God for ......". When he read Duan Zhixuan, Duan Zhixuan had already knelt down, it was not the first time he had participated in such a reward banquet, so he naturally knew the rules. Such rewards come one by one......

"The right Weiwei general Qi did good deeds and led the army to quell the rebellion, although there were small flaws, but the flaws were not hidden. Take the lead, fight bloodily, and make immortal achievements. Tejia was appointed as a protector and awarded the general Huaihua. 5,000 taels of gold, 8,000 horses of silk, and 500 households of food......"

"Command, thank heaven......" Qi Shanxing was extremely excited, with the mistakes he made on the first night of the expedition, as well as his subsequent performance in the counterinsurgency, to receive such a reward, far beyond his expectations, how could he not be excited......

"Zuo Xiaowei Mo Sword Army Commander Li Siye ......"

"Yao Hai, deputy commander of the Left Xiaowei Cavalry Army......"

“…………”

“…………”

Until the end, all the generals who participated in the suppression of the rebellion of the mountain bureaucrats were rewarded with great satisfaction. It seems that there is only one person missing, that is, the supervisor of the counterinsurgency army, Jiang Zhixuan, the provincial governor of Menxia Province. Until the long holy decree was recited, Jiang Zhixuan's name did not appear. The ministers and generals couldn't help whispering, could it be that this Jiang Zhuangyuan committed some terrible disaster when he was supervising the army to quell the rebellion, otherwise, why didn't His Majesty reward him

Duan Zhixuan and Qi Shanxing, Li Siye and Yao Hai, and many generals of the counterinsurgency army were anxious. The counterinsurgency went so smoothly that they all knew that at least one-third of the credit was due to the strategizing of Jiang Zhuangyuan, who was sitting in front of him. His Majesty has given everyone a heavy reward, why did he miss Lord Jiang

Duan Zhixuan and Qi Shanxing glanced at each other, and then nodded firmly. They are military generals, and they are talking about a spirit and admiration, and they are often literati like Jiang Zhixuan who have real talent and learning. Therefore, they immediately had to stand up and fight for Jiang Zhixuan, and even if it was worse, they had to ask clearly why their Jiang military division did not have the slightest reward In their minds, Jiang Zhixuan's identity had already transitioned from a supervising army to a military advisor......

Jiang Zhixuan did not react at this time, and everyone said that the authorities were obsessed with bystanders. But at this time, the situation has turned upside down, and it has become a mystery for the authorities. Because he remembered that at the beginning of the decree of the reward, it was marked "Duan Zhixuan, the general of the left Xiaowei, and the general Qi Shanxing, the general of the right Weiwei, and Jiang Zhixuan, the provincial living man of the menxia province...... et al.". So he wasn't in a hurry at all, he still sat there with a smile on his face, teasing the balls in his arms and beckoning the naughty tiger head.

Xiaoxiao has been waiting to see what kind of reward His Majesty will give her husband. But since Wang De finished reading the reward for Yao Hai, he hasn't read about his husband. She had already vaguely guessed that she was afraid that His Majesty would reward her husband separately this time. Thinking so, she turned back to the queen sister on the throne and cast an inquiring glance. But when she saw that Empress Changsun gave her a reassuring look, she became more sure in her heart. Thoroughly down-to-earth, smiling peacefully and teasing the girl in his arms, while taking some melons and fruits on the desk from time to time to eat, patiently waiting for the results......

Sure enough, just when Duan Zhixuan and Qi Shanxing were about to jump out impatiently, they saw Wang De smiling and taking out another holy decree from his sleeve and reading it......

The beginning of the decree is pretty much the same, this thing is mass-produced. However, such a holy decree with the same beginning had already surprised the hundreds of officials in the hall. Why did Your Majesty draw up a separate holy decree for this Jiang Zhuangyuan Then, many people reacted: Oh, I see, this is Your Majesty's protégé of the Son of Heaven. So, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the content of the holy decree, and all the officials wanted to see how His Majesty the Emperor rewarded this first three-yuan jinshi in ancient times:

"Lang Jiang Zhixuan, the living man of Menxia Province, is the champion of all dynasties since the dynasty, with outstanding literary brilliance, and the ambition to serve the country with blood, which is already very rare. It is even more valuable to be ordered to lead the post of counterinsurgency supervisor. Strategize and win on the banks of the Lancang River. Literary talent and martial arts, not losing to Xiao He Hanxin. Specially named Taizhong Doctor, plus the founding earl, the history of Hangzhou Thorn. 5,000 taels of gold, 5,000 horses of silk, and 500 households......"

"Hum......" As soon as Wang De's words fell, a burst of unconcealed amazement and envy suddenly sounded in the hall. Doctor Taizhong, that is a civil and prose official under the fourth grade, and has no real power; The founding earl is the title of the fourth grade, and he also has no real power, but he can receive an extra portion. These two official titles with no real power, as well as those gold and silver rewards, the officials did not feel that there was anything wrong with them.

After all, such a big victory solved the great trouble of the imperial court. And Jiang Zhixuan made great contributions in this battle, jumping three or four levels on the ground, and all the officials were still able to reluctantly accept it. It's just that the last actual officer: Hangzhou Assassin History...... This is what Baiguan expected the most.

Hangzhou is Zhongzhou, and the history of the thorns in the land of Zhongzhou is managed, and the lowest grade is also on the fourth grade. This made it unacceptable to the hundred officials, Jiang Zhixuan was only a subordinate of the sixth grade before, but now he jumped eight levels in a row and became the youngest feudal official in the Tang Dynasty. This makes them struggle all their lives, and they are just a four-grade and five-grade human being

Jiang Zhixuan was also dumbfounded, such a reward was really too much beyond his bearing. He originally thought that with this military exploit, it would be good to be able to improve by three or four levels, and to step into the threshold of a real member of the DPRK and China with one foot. Unexpectedly, His Majesty would throw himself a state all at once. It's no wonder that the two loose official titles were added in front of him, which were used to raise the rank for himself......

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhixuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and then stood up to receive the order. Unexpectedly, Wang De bared his mouth full of white teeth and smiled at him:

"Lord Jiang, don't worry, there are rewards for Mrs. Zun and Prince Ling......"

Jiang Zhixuan let out an 'oh', and said in his heart: You didn't say it earlier...... I had to kneel down again. Xiaoxiao, who was sitting not far from Jiang Zhixuan, was beating a drum in his heart: There are still for me and my son

After Li Shimin and Empress Changsun glanced at each other, both of them happily looked at the reaction of the Jiang family below. When formulating the reward for the meritorious personnel of the mountain bureaucracy in quelling the rebellion, Li Shimin thought about how to make his proud protégé truly satisfied, because next, he still had important tasks to hand over to Jiang Zhixuan.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin suddenly had an idea. This Jiang Zhuangyuan's cover door is his little ****. For the sake of this little ****, he even ruthlessly refused his daughter Princess Nanping and other peerless people. In this case, why not reward his wife and children, anyway, it is a symbol of reputation and status, and no matter how big it is, it is dozens of dollars every month. Such a reward, which is not costly, may make him happier than directly conferring a title on himself......

Therefore, in this reward banquet, Li Shimin separately drafted a holy decree for Jiang Zhixuan. In addition to the reward he gave to Jiang Zhixuan in front of him, he also gave a small five-grade pleasant order. The eldest son Jiang Haoyu was awarded the title of the court invitation lang on the seventh grade, and the second son Jiang Haoyang was awarded the Xuande Lang under the seventh grade. Because Yaya Jiang Haoyue is a daughter, she can't be sealed as such a literary official, so she gave a pair of long-life locks......

After listening to Wang De's slow announcement, he was inexplicably surprised in his little heart. I think that three or four years ago, Fengguan Xia was just a luxury hope for herself and her husband to enjoy themselves. Now, it's really happening. Although he is still only a five-grade pleasant, he is still far from the first-grade fate, but the husband is only a few years old and has not yet been established, and he is already a feudal official of the fourth grade of the official residence. The phoenix crown and xia cloak that he promised himself really couldn't get without tasting it......

On the throne, Li Shimin looked at the Jiang family with a smile and a trembling look at the two of them receiving the holy decree of the reward. Somehow, I remembered the Suhang Salt and Iron Case again, and the smile in my eyes began to flash with fox-like cunning:

Hehe, my proud protégé, a potato............
