August twenty-five of the ninth year of Wude.

The Turkic Jieli Khan's troops were in Weishui, Chang'an was under martial law, and the 150,000 troops were ready to fight.

On the same day, Jieli Khan closed the camp and could not come out, and when it was the day of Shen, he sent the envoys to Chang'an to lose their thinking and enter Chang'an, and the above table asked for peace.

At the beginning, the people of the world did not allow it, and they denounced the stubbornness and loss of thinking. Ministers Xu Fenglei, Xiao Yu and others strongly persuaded them, and then agreed.

The Turks are willing to pay tribute to 3,000 cattle and sheep to the Tang Dynasty. The people of the world did not accept it, and ordered Jieli to return the captive servant Wen Yanbo, and ordered to return the Tang border people who were captured by the Turks.

August twenty-six.

The emperor went out of the Xuanwu Gate, and then came to Weishui, and swore an oath with the Turkic Jieli Khan to cut the white horse, and made an oath never to violate each other.

At the end of August, the Turks ran out of grain and grass and retreated to the steppe along the route designated by the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, the southern expedition launched by Jieli Khan with countless energy has completely failed, and the grain and grass have been exhausted but nothing has been obtained, and the Turkic tribal leaders have complained and their prestige has plummeted.

After that, the Turks did not invade the south on a large scale, and the border troubles of the steppe were temporarily pacified.

……

The first day of September.

The Great Pilgrimage.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and listened to the ministers' performances.

"Your Majesty."

Shangshu's left servant shot his hand and said,

"The grassland border trouble is a little relieved, and the world is temporarily peaceful, please Your Majesty set up a prince as soon as possible, so that my Tang Guozuo will be more stable."

All the ministers asked:

"Your Majesty, please make a prince."

Obviously, everyone was frightened by Li Shimin's commotion on Weishui.

This time there is no danger, but if you get rid of it later, how can you get it?

Whether it is an old minister of martial arts or a new upstart of Tiance, they all have such a demand - the prince must be established first!

"I see."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand,

"I have long had the intention of establishing a prince."

"Today, Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the emperor, will be appointed as the crown prince, and the Ministry of Rites will arrange it."

"Yes." Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, breathed a sigh of relief and came out to salute.

"When I was in the palace, the prince was coached by Xu Aiqing, and I did my best to teach him, and I also saw the growth of the prince."

Li Shimin looked at Xu Fenglei and said,

"Now Feng Chengqian is the crown prince, and he is still under the guidance of Xu Aiqing."

"Xu Aiqing."

"The minister is here." Xu Fenglei came out of the ranks.

"I will add you the title of prince and young master, and continue to teach the prince and other princes and princesses."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice,

"All teachings are the same as when they were in the Hidden Mansion, and there is no need to worry about their identity changing."

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty rest assured."

He said,

"The minister only thinks that they are a group of little cubs, and he will not regard them as princes and princesses."

Li Shimin's face darkened: "#¥%......&*@#"

My child is a cub, so what is it?

The faces of all the ministers showed envy at this moment.

O young master of the crown prince! This is a second rank, although it is a false title, it is a great honor.

In addition, Xu Fenglei has real power and is still the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and participates in political affairs...... If you give another high lord, it will really be the first lord of the Tang Dynasty!

Don't forget, the crown prince is his disciple!

In the future, when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably be added to the title of prince, and his power and prestige will be greater and heavier!

However, they also know that envy is useless.

Xu Fenglei has made great achievements in the seventh year of martial arts, and he is the biggest hero of the dragon, and he deserves this honor, and no one is unconvinced......

"Ahem."

Li Er coughed dryly, turned his head to look at the ministers, and opened the topic,

"In addition, the titles of your meritorious ministers have not been discussed before, and now that you have free your hands, it is time to mention them."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the ministers lit up.

Especially the descendants of Tiance Mansion, their breathing began to be rapid at this moment, and they looked at Li Shimin with blank eyes.

Thinking about it, looking forward to it, just looking forward to this day!

"Preach the message!"

Li Shimin got up and smiled,

"There are many meritorious ministers, I won't read it out in person, you Aiqing just listen."

Crash.

I saw the eunuch under the jade stairs open the holy decree and read it aloud:

"Commando:"

"Wei Guogong Pei Lin added 1,000 households to the food estate, and 1,500 households were sealed."

"Prince Feng Young Master Xu Fenglei is the Duke of Xu Guo, and he has sealed 1,500 households."

"Feng Zuo Wuhou's eldest grandson Wuji is the Duke of Zhao Guogong, and he has 1,300 households."

"Feng Right Wuhou General Wei Chi Gong is the Duke of Wu Guo, and he actually seals one or three hundred households."

"Sealed Xuanling ......"

"Feng Du is like a ......"

"Feng Chai Shao ......"

After rewarding all the way, the ministers already knew it in their hearts.

This list of heroes is obviously the ranking of heroes in the emperor's heart!

In addition to Pei Lian, who gave the emperor face, the crown prince and young master Xu Fenglei received the most rewards, and the actual food and food were on a par with Pei Lian, and he was actually the first hero!

And the knighthood of the eldest grandson Wuji, the general of Zuo Wuhou, is the most expensive! This is also common sense, after all, he is the elder brother of Empress Changsun, and he is the first person to follow the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and was born and died.

The most critical point may be because of the limited status of his relative, Li Shimin is not good at giving him too high real power, so he can only be rewarded generously in the title.

After that, there are a series of heroes such as Wei Chigong and Fang Du.

Li Er's reward is very interesting.

The biggest hero was left to his rival Pei Lian, but Xu Fenglei was on a par with him, only a little weaker than the Duke honorific title, and then several of his own descendants were awarded 1,300 households, and then a group of Li Yi, Li Xiaogong and other border kings were sealed 1,000 households, and then it was another large-scale reward for their own heroes.

The overall knighthood presents a pyramid shape, and if you think about it carefully, the rain and dew are evenly wet.

Whether it is an old minister of martial arts, a powerful border general, or a descendant of Tiance, or even a minister who has nothing to do with it, he has been rewarded to varying degrees purely for his meritorious service to the country!

Of course, the one who has the greatest profit is naturally the Tiance lineage.

The ministers who were originally depressed have changed at this moment, and they have all become top nobles and great princes, and the glorious lintel belongs to yes!

"Young Master, Gong Xu! Congratulations! You're the number one! ”

"Hahaha, where is it, I'm just doing my best, Jingde, I'm going to change my voice to call you Wu Gong in the future, I'm really not used to it."

"No, no, no! Just keep calling me Jingde, I'll listen to it! ”

"Okay, good, eh, Zhao Gong, congratulations...... Liang Gong, congratulations and congratulations......"

“……”

All the old generals of Tiance are full of red light, especially Wei Chigong, who is even more excited at the moment, grinning, and saying auspicious words when they meet people, as if it is the New Year.

Of course, the object of his congratulations is second only to the old man Tiance.

For Pei Lian, Li Ji and others, they are all birds and not birds, purely as air.

It's like this gang of heroes from the dragon, and it's faintly a small group, and others can't fit in.

"Humph!"

Li Shentong, who was standing in the queue, said angrily,

"Why! A literati who has no power to restrain chickens, has no military exploits, and has become a national prince?! ”
