Chapter 202: On meritorious deeds

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Hey, old man, you..." Xiao Han was so angry at the old man that he was about to retort when he saw a few more people coming in at the door.

There was one person in the lead, with a slender figure, wearing silver bright light armor, a long scarlet cloak, and a purple gold crown. If it weren't for the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, he would definitely look like Lu Bu!

However, in Xiao Han's opinion, this piece of equipment is enough to kill countless stick men in an instant. Anyone who dares to wear it like this on the battlefield will definitely borrow a lot of arrows...well, more than the straw boat borrowed!

Li Yuan was sitting high on the dragon's chair, expressionlessly looking at his second son who was getting closer and closer below.

It is absolutely nonsense to say that Li Yuan is incompetent. Li Yuan's abilities and strategies are obvious to all. For such a large dynasty to be built from scratch, Li Yuan definitely deserves the most credit!

However, as the saying goes, no one is perfect, and no one is perfect! I have to say here that Li Yuan really has one thing that he is not good at, and that is tolerance!

There are actually many types of magnanimity, and the smallest magnanimity is not giving up a dime, only wanting to get without paying, but it is no longer a question of magnanimity, this is already a bit silly.

When we say that Li Yuan is petty, we just mean that he is somewhat reluctant to trust outsiders and seems to always be wary of outsiders.

This can be seen from the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan definitely had some nepotism in appointing talents! Especially when it came to controlling the army, it was none other than his own family!

Compared with the shining generals and abundant talents during the Zhenguan period, Li Yuan's subordinates were much shabby. Apart from Li Daozong, who was known as the first god of war in the Tang Dynasty, only Li Shimin, who was less than 20 years old, was left.

Didn't the Tang Dynasty have good generals? I think it's impossible. It's just that there are always horses with a thousand li, but Bole is not always there. And when a thousand-li horse encounters a Bole who is always worried that it will rebel, it really has no chance of success.

Therefore, at this time, all the people who could surround Li Yuan were people who had known each other for many years, and when going out to fight, they basically relied on Li Shimin, Li Daozong and the others!

Fortunately, these few are also rare good generals. If there is a idiot like Li Jinglong, it is doubtful whether there will be a Tang Dynasty in the future.

"Your Majesty, Li Shimin, moved back to the court and met His Majesty the Emperor!" Just when Li Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, Li Shimin had already walked to the front of the courtiers and knelt down on one knee, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

"Oh?" Li Yuan suddenly woke up and glanced down in a daze. Then he came back to his senses. Without letting Li Shimin get up first, he asked in a deep voice: "What was the result of the battle?!"

"Big victory! Big victory!" The roar soaring to the sky even startled Xiao Han. This time it was not just Li Shimin who was shouting, but the generals behind Li Shimin were shouting at the top of their lungs! Even the man lying on the stretcher was shouting at the top of his lungs.

Liu Hongji has not fallen behind, I am afraid that if I don’t take credit, I won’t be as good as him!

A smile finally appeared on Li Yuan's face. He stood up from the dragon chair and spread his hands: "In that case! Get up! Remove your armor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

There was no father or son in the court, and Li Shimin was used to putting his identity in the position of an ordinary minister. After seeing Li Yuan's permission to stand up, he slowly stood up.

At the same time, a group of beauties quickly walked out from the curtains at the back of the hall, came to Li Shimin and the others, made a blessing first, and then started to remove their armor for these generals in pairs.

Removing armor is a technical job, Xiao Han felt deeply that when there were no zippers or elastic bands, the straps required to wear a piece of clothing would make Xiao Han collapse, let alone the armor weighing dozens of kilograms!

However, these maids had obviously been trained, and there was no rush in this tedious method. Their hands were like fluttering butterflies, removing the parts one by one.

People like Li Shimin and Chai Shao were able to cooperate with them, but when they arrived at Liu Hongji's place, their speed immediately dropped.

This guy was lying on his stomach, so it was not easy to remove the armor. The two delicate beauties finally helped the strong Liu Hongji up, and they were already panting from exhaustion. Xiao Han was stunned by the sight of his beautiful breasts rising and falling.

Liu Hongji swallowed hard, and Liu Hongji, an old gangster, didn't know whether it was intentional or intentional. When he was removing his armor, he threw his hands several times. All the officials present cursed in their hearts: "Beasts!"

After the armor was removed, the armor that had been put on this morning had completed its mission and was carried out by several palace warriors. Li Yuan took a roll of brocade cloth from the desk, opened it, took a look, and then handed it to someone who had already

The chief eunuch waiting aside.

"Announcement: Liu Dabao, promoted to the sixth rank of captain, will receive a bounty of three catties and two cartloads of cloth!"

"Announcement: Liang Jianfang, promoted to the fourth rank, General Yunmi, with a bounty of ten kilograms! Cloth..."

The leader eunuch read the imperial edict in a high-pitched voice. The people below had different expressions, some were proud, some were jealous, and some were indifferent. When the lazy Xiao Han heard this, he realized that this was a reward conference!

No wonder we let them all come to participate, just to let them have a look and have a look at it on the way. To put it bluntly, the subconscious mind is: young (old) guys, do your best, Datang will not treat you badly...

This eunuch recited extremely fast, and his enunciation was extremely clear. He had finished most of the recitation in a blink of an eye, and the remaining few were the highlight!

"Liu Hongji, a Marquis Viscount, has one hundred households in the city and two sons named Yin..."

Liu Hongji was so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. The heart that had been hanging around since he came back finally dropped, and he thought that I finally got a title, so that Xiao Han would not be better than him!

So, when the chief eunuch finished reciting, he quickly held his waist and thanked her profusely. He didn't know whether he was thanking Li Yuan or the eunuch.

Liu Hongji behaved like a robot, which was so funny that it made people laugh. However, no one was looking at him now. This time he chased Qianli with all his strength, and then he killed Xue Ju's main force and earned a lot of money.

This second-class merit is not an exaggeration, but if you don’t see it, there is another one above him!”

"Li Shimin!" The chief eunuch read out the name. He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Li Shimin, but soon lowered his head and continued to read: "Feng, General Tiance! Two thousand households in the city, ten dou of jewels..."

"Wow..." Compared with the quiet court before, with this sentence, the crowd in the court immediately felt like a ladle of water poured into a pot, and the whole pot boiled in an instant!

Countless old men with gray beards came out and knelt down, shouting no!

"Your Majesty! No! How can the title of General Tiance be so casual?"

"I beg the emperor to take back my life! This reward is absolutely unacceptable!"

A large group of people prostrated themselves on the ground, surrounded by courtiers who were whispering. Xiao Han looked at the chaotic scene from a distance, feeling angry for no reason in his heart, and almost involuntarily cursed: "These old immortals

, what are you making fun of! They have worked hard through life and death, so it would be better for them to stay here comfortably and come out to cause trouble at critical moments. I think they should be sent to the battlefield and let them talk to the enemy.

!”

"Ahem..." A violent cough came from his ears. Although Xiao Han spoke loudly, it was too remote here, and everyone's attention was focused on the front, so Xiao Han's words

Only the elders of the three dynasties next to him could fully hear what he said.

After beating his chest and coughing for a long time, the "Elder of Three Dynasties" finally stopped coughing, and then looked sideways at Xiao Han, as if he was trying to determine whether he was included in the old immortal he mentioned...

"Well, um, sir, don't look at me like this. I'm talking about them, it's them, and I don't mean to criticize Huaihua..."

Well, it's okay if Xiao Han didn't explain. Once he explained, it just got darker and darker. The old man's face turned dark. He covered his mouth and shook his sleeves fiercely, determined to ignore Xiao Han and avoid being pissed off by him.

!

Li Yuangao sat on the dragon's throne, somewhat anticipating the following scene.

Whenever a big reward is given, there are always people who will jump out to oppose it. This is actually not a bad thing. Most of the people who receive the reward are very satisfied at this time!

Someone came out to kill the limelight and let them know that kindness is the right thing to do. However, it seems a little different today. These veterans don't seem to be putting on a show, but they seem to be really afraid that Li Shimin will get a reward.

Li Yuan glanced thoughtfully at Li Jiancheng, the leader of the following class, then slammed the gentian on the table and said in a deep voice: "Get up! Everyone is making noise, how unbecoming it is! Shimin has won a great deal this time

He won a complete victory, and even went to the Turks alone to sign a non-aggression treaty. These rewards are not an exaggeration for his contribution! If you have any objections, you can also achieve the same feat, and I will not begrudge you any rewards!"

As soon as these words came out, the people below who were looking for life and death just now fell silent. Look at me, look at you, neither standing up nor kneeling.

"Your Majesty..." Just before those people had decided whether to stay or leave, in the train, an old minister with white beard and hair tremblingly walked to the middle holding Wu Ban, reluctantly leaned over, and said to Li Yuan: "

Reporting back to the Emperor, I dare not deny the merits of King Qin’s son, but I and you all believe that although King Qin’s merits are great, he also made many mistakes, and it is unfair that the Emperor only rewards but does not punish!”

"Oh?" Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at his son, and asked: "The people of the world have been on an expedition all the way and only returned to Chang'an yesterday. What's your fault? Why didn't I hear anything about it?"

The old minister was really old, so old that he couldn't even stand straight, but he still tried to straighten his back and said forcefully: "I dare not deceive the emperor in the slightest. Just yesterday! When the prince returned to the capital, he secretly mobilized the army.

Helping the son of Sanyuan County capture all the people of Marquis Xiangcheng into the army, and mobilizing the army without any orders, does he deserve the title of General Tiance?!"

"Wow..." As soon as these words came out, the court immediately went into an uproar again, even louder than when Li Shimin was sealed!

The fight between Xiao Han and the Marquis of Xiangcheng has been aroused for a long time. How could they not be aware of it?

It's just that there were very few people who went to watch the battle, and these people were even more silent after they came back, so they didn't know the result clearly. They only heard rumors that a large army was involved, and now they hear the "real" reconstruction of the event here.

, how can we not surprise them!
