The words of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, made Li Shimin, who was originally smiling, frown slightly.

"King Huai'an, do you have something to say?"

He said in a deep voice.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Shentong came out of the ranks and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, surrender!"

"Since ancient times, he has been knighted based on military merits."

"For example, Xu Fenglei, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong and other ministers with military merits will be rewarded, but Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others have no military merits, but they have also been awarded 1,300 households, and the rewards are still above those who have military merits such as us!"

"The ministers are not convinced, and I believe that all the courtiers who have military merits are not angry in their hearts!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked.

This Li Shentong is really stingy! At this time, he dared to jump out directly to confront the emperor and openly resist the emperor's resolution.

Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and other Tiance generals all changed their faces, and looked at Li Shentong with unkind expressions.

"Uncle, what do you mean that with your military merits, you should be above the ministers?"

Li Shimin sighed and said with a light smile,

"Is that what you mean?"

"Although the minister's military achievements are shallow, he still asks himself above Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others." Li Shentong responded.

Bang!

Li Er's face changed, and he slapped on the dragon chair.

"King Huai'an! Do you really want me to turn out your old bottom? ”

He said coldly,

"In the past, Dou Jiande annexed Shandong, you led the troops to fight, and the whole army was annihilated! Is this a military feat? ”

"Fight Liu Heimin again, and you flee without a fight, making my Tang army laugh at the soldiers and horses of Hebei, isn't this also a military merit?"

"Although Xuan Ling and Ru Hui have no military merits, they are strategizing and wise, and they have repeatedly helped me to win, such as Xiao He Cao Shen! Let me ask you, what kind of hero was Xiao He Cao Shen in the Han Dynasty? ”

Li Shentong was embarrassed by Li Shimin, and his old face suddenly turned red, his expression was extremely embarrassed, and he said hesitantly:

"I, I ......"

As soon as this black history came out, he already had no confidence, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into!

Li Shimin saw that he was speechless, and his expression softened slightly.

"Uncle is my dearest relative, and I love him deeply, but I can't be unsure of rewards and punishments because of my preference for my uncle!"

He is right,

"Since I drew up this list of rewards, I have known that there will be controversy, and I am not afraid of controversy, but I am afraid that you will not argue!"

"If you have grievances in your heart, you can say it now, or you can show it on the table, and I will give you an explanation!"

"Who else wants to play?"

Ministers: "......"

Even a thorn like King Huai'an has been trained to have no temper at all, and they are naturally happy and convinced.

However, Fang Xuanling suddenly came out of the queue and said:

"Your Majesty."

"Among the old people of the original Tiance Mansion, there are many people who complain because they cannot be reused, please give instructions to Your Majesty."

When Li Shimin heard this, he snorted coldly.

"The old mansion is old, and I treat them well!"

He flicked his sleeves and said,

"I will not hesitate to reward gold and silver treasures! Their so-called reuse is nothing more than wanting to seek positions in the imperial court. ”

"However, the imperial court is the imperial court of the country, not the imperial court of my own person, and I elect officials for the world, not for my own entertainment!"

"Those who are talented, I will choose them; If you don't have talent, you can be a rich man with peace of mind, you don't have to stretch your head and want to take a career, I am not a cronyism! ”

Fang Xuanling bowed down suddenly.

"Yes."

He said,

"Your Majesty's reprimand will surely wake up those who are delusional."

"Your Majesty."

All the ministers bowed their hands, and their hearts became more and more respectful.

This is what Mingjun should do!

"This is listening to the class I was taking......"

Xu Fenglei also smiled, relieved.

Li Shimin's words are already in line with the way of kings in the Book of Changes!

"Now that you're fine, let's retreat. For the rest of the matters, report to the government and forward. ”

Li Er looked around and saw that all the ministers had lowered their heads, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he took the jade steps.

To be an emperor, you have to be sharp-tongued.

"Long live my emperor."

The ministers shouted long live, and after the emperor left, the atmosphere relaxed again.

"How so? Let's be proud today! ”

Wei Chigong said without scruples,

"Also talking about military merits, when it comes to military merits, who can compare to the people of our Tiance Mansion? Those defeated princes? Running away from the county king? ”

"Joke, what a joke! Hahahaha......"

His loud voice, combined with the extremely mocking tone, made Pei Lian, Li Shentong and the others already look ugly, and quickly left the Hall of Virtue.

"Jingde, be quiet, pay attention to the impact."

Xu Fenglei scolded with a smile,

"Anyway, they are all ministers of the same dynasty, so I have to save some face for them."

When Wei Chigong heard this, he pouted.

"They are shameless first, I just fight back."

He snorted softly,

"That's it, since the young master is talking, let's not bother with them!"

"Let's go! Happy today, go to my house to drink, drink him happily, don't get drunk and don't return! ”

This proposal immediately won the approval of all the martial artists:

"Okay, good, go and ......"

"If Lao Tzu doesn't kill you today, he won't be surnamed Cheng!"

"Drink!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and hurriedly refused:

"Go ahead...... The court is busy with government affairs, so I don't dare to drink and make mistakes, and the two of us have been criticized and don't dare to make mistakes again. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian also said:

"No, don't go, it's not fun to drink with you animals, so let's go home and have a drink or two."

These rammers drink like buffaloes, and when they get drunk, they go crazy.

In the past, there was no way in Tiance Mansion, so I could only endure it...... Now that they each have their own mansions, are they still feathered?

Get out of the way!

"Huh? What a disappointment! ”

Cheng Yanjin showed displeasure, and hurriedly took Xu Fenglei's hand,

"Young Master, Gong Xu...... They are all weak, you are a recognized wine fairy in our Tiance Mansion, it's not interesting to drink with them, can you not come! ”

"Let's go, let's go back!"

After all, he and Wei Chigong have already set up Xu Fenglei and want to "kidnap" him!

Xu Fenglei was helpless, he couldn't resist them, and he could only let the generals mess around.

But at this moment, a eunuch came from the apse and saluted Xu Fenglei:

"Young Master, Your Majesty has announced that you will go to the apse to speak."

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"Let go, let go! Like bandits! ”

He took the opportunity to get rid of the two big men and reprimanded,

"Did you hear that? Your Majesty has summoned, I don't have time to play with you, you can go crazy by yourself, just don't make trouble. ”

The generals looked unhappy, but they had no choice but to say yes.

"Father-in-law, lead the way."

Xu Fenglei shook his sleeves, waved his hand and smiled,

"Your Majesty suddenly summoned me, maybe it has something to do with the prince of the clan."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others all flashed a glint and were silent.
