As soon as these words came out, there was a bit of chaos in the hall. The civil servants were more polite, and the sound of dumb farts could be heard constantly.
But among those rough old men and military ministers, there were quite a few who grinned and roared with joy. Yuchi Gong stroked his long beard and said with a look of great comfort.
"This kid is more patient than his father."
"Yes, yes, if the Cheng family cannot live through the New Year, as expected, then Songtsen Gampo will live until the New Year and then shut up..."
Cheng Sanlang, who had both ears and eyesight, stood in the main hall, his tall and upright posture making him stand out from the crowd.
With a face of shock, sadness and disbelief, he stared blankly at his father-in-law who seemed to be smiling apologetically at him.
What do you mean, you think my reputation is not bad enough or something? Do you have to bring this matter to court?!
But that is His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What can I do? My biological father has been imprisoned at home.
Without my powerful father as a support team, I really can’t stand up...
The expression on his face at this moment is not very good. At this moment, with a dark face, he is taking deep breaths frequently and silently reciting the words of the saint in his heart.
"Don't be angry. I'm not angry. I won't argue with this old man who has no martial ethics. As the saying goes, when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must do something, something, something first..."
At this time, amid the eunuch's shrill voice shouting, the chaotic court hall finally fell silent again.
Li Shimin cleared his throat, looked at Cheng Sanlang, who had a dark face and furtive eyes, and continued to speak.
"Today, both King Wu and Fang Erlang have reported their merits and received rewards. Next, it is Cheng Sanlang's turn."
"Fang Qing..."
Li Shimin's eyes turned and landed on Fang Xuanling, who had already prepared his cooperation in advance yesterday.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Cheng Sanlang should be highly rewarded by the court for his meritorious service, and that Cheng Sanlang is both civil and military and has the courage to take on his responsibilities..."
Just as Fang Xuanling was talking about it, some intelligent civil and military officials started whispering again.
"What is your Majesty trying to do? Why do I feel like it's some kind of conspiracy?"
"Haha... How could His Majesty take aim at nothing? There must be something that Your Majesty finds difficult..."
While there was a lot of discussion below, Fang Xuanling just said something.
"Among the officials in the East Palace today, only the post of Prince Prince is vacant. I believe that Cheng Sanlang is worthy of this important task."
As soon as these words came out, many civil and military officials who were still whispering fell silent for an instant, and everyone's eyes fell on His Majesty's calm and composed face.
Then he looked away again and landed on Cheng Sanlang, who looked confused.
He then scanned the line of civil servants and saw a minister from the Langya Wang family whose expression suddenly became extremely shocked.
At this moment, Li Ji, who had returned home with great honors more than a month ahead of Cheng Sanlang and others, was stroking his thick beard.
He couldn't help but take in a breath with a bit of toothache, and whispered something to Chai Shao beside him.
"It seems that Your Majesty really makes the best use of everything, haha..."
Chai Shao's eyes wandered over the handsome boy of the Cheng family with a notorious reputation, and the blue-faced official from the Wang family of Langya.
"But you have to admit that your Majesty made a good move. The prince has fallen into the hands of the Cheng family. Who dares to fight for it?"
Master Li also muttered in a low voice in amusement.
"That's true. It's a pity that Lao Cheng is not here today. I wonder what Lehe will look like..."
"However, it is inappropriate for this boy to do the prince's horse washing, isn't it? Your Majesty is not worried that this boy will lead the prince astray."
"Don't worry, the prince is washing his horse, but judging from the fifth rank, your majesty must have other plans."
#####
"My lord, thank you for your grace..." Cheng Chubi managed a smile on his handsome face that was numb with anger.
Although my father-in-law is not very virtuous, he still retains his filial and virtuous son-in-law.
But no matter what, the Cheng family, who were heirs of poetry and calligraphy, finally got back on track and embarked on the path of being gentlemen.
It had just been announced that Cheng Chubi had been appointed to wash the prince's horse, but Li Shimin still did not let go of Cheng Sanlang, who was capable of lifting a cauldron and could withstand a lot of pressure.
"My dear son-in-law, when you were newly married, you had to go to the plateau for state affairs. Now you have just come back and reunited with your parents and wife.
The prince is still in charge of the country in Chang'an. If you take office, you will be separated from your parents..."
These words also made Cheng Chubi feel a little sad. Yes, who asked you to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? It took three or five years to get it done, but you still couldn't do it.
Otherwise, there would be so much nonsense. Cheng Chubi was looking respectful and well-behaved at the moment, but in his heart he was criticizing and complaining crazily.
Fortunately, it was all from his heart, and with his micro-expression control that was comparable to that of an actor, no one could find out the clues.
"Changsun Qing's family, yesterday, I remember you once said that the Luoyang order's term has long expired, and the Luoyang order wanted to return home because of his frailty..."
Changsun Wuji was stunned, then looked at Cheng Sanlang in disbelief, his eyelids twitching wildly.
Not only Changsun Wuji, but also many officials who secretly coveted the position of Luoyang Ling could not help but change their expressions.
The Luoyang Order is actually the Luoyang County Magistrate. Don't underestimate the County Magistrates of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, county magistrates in the Tang Dynasty were also divided into five grades, but even the lowest magistrate of a small county was not lower than the seventh grade.
The six counties of Chang'an, Wannian, Henan, Luoyang, Taiyuan, and Jinyang are called Jingxian, and each has one magistrate, who is on the fifth rank;
The counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao, Henan, and Taiyuan are called Ji counties, each with one magistrate, under the sixth rank;
In the upper counties of each state, there is one magistrate, from the sixth rank; in the middle counties of each state, there is one magistrate, from the seventh rank; in the lower counties of the states, there is one magistrate, from the seventh rank; in the lower counties of each state, there is one magistrate, from the seventh rank
Down.
As for Henan County, it was in another historical time and space. After one of Li Shimin's sons became the emperor, he almost stayed in Luoyang.
As a result, Luoyang achieved unprecedented development, and after Luoyang became the capital of China, two counties, Luoyang and Henan, were established in Luoyang.
But now, there is only one magistrate of Luoyang County in Dongdu.
#####
Since the Emperor has lived in the Wanguoyuan Palace outside Luoyang City for a long time, His Majesty has visited the east for meals almost every year.
Now it is even more ruthless, directly using the reason that the Imperial College has been in disrepair for a long time, all the distinguished disciples of the Imperial College have been moved to the Eastern Capital.
Although there are disasters in Guanzhong this year, compared with previous years, they will definitely not affect the production and life of the people in Guanzhong.
However, His Majesty still dragged all the civil and military officials to Luoyang, and went through repeated tossings.
No matter Guan Longxungui or the Central Plains nobles, they are all lying flat now. They are really tortured.
In addition, in the past few years, His Majesty's reputation at home and abroad has been growing day by day, and the world is in awe of him.
The intention of His Majesty, the founding emperor of the country, was also very clear, and he was prepared to die of old age in Luoyang.
Therefore, not only the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, but also the common people all over the world knew that it was inevitable for the Tang Dynasty to move the capital to Luoyang.
