Chapter 409: The crown prince's reward is too generous, which is unfair to the King of Qin
Although it was said that when Jiao Ying was being attacked by his younger brother, His Highness Li Jiancheng was a little heartbroken. But when Jiao Ying's team passed through Mingde Gate and walked onto Suzaku Avenue, those who cheered on both sides of the road
The people of Chang'an still made His Highness Li Jiancheng's depressed mood calmer.
What really made him feel good was when he entered the imperial city and came to the Tai Chi Hall. Because of his Aye, the current saint Li Yuan actually stepped down to greet him in front of the Tai Chi Hall for the first time.
You must know that even when Erlang returned with no reward for his great achievements, Aye was given an unprecedented general, and when Xu Erlang opened his own mansion, Aye was waiting to be summoned in the Taiji Hall instead of being demoted.
Welcome.
The treatment he is receiving now can be said to be the first since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!
"Aye..."
After glancing proudly at his good brother, Li Jiancheng immediately took two steps forward, fell to his knees with a thud, moved his knees forward, and hugged Aye's legs.
"The baby is back!"
"well!"
Seeing his eldest son's excited look on his face, His Majesty Li Yuan was also greatly comforted. He patted Li Jiancheng's head with his hand and said kindly.
"Dalang is going to Hebei. His hard work has made great achievements, which can be called the merit of Dingding. Thank you for your hard work!"
After hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Jiancheng quickly replied humbly.
"The children dare not complain about the hardships of sharing the country's worries."
"Deserve it, deserve it..."
With a smile on his face, His Majesty Li Yuan raised his head and said to the civil and military officials standing in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
"The prince's pacification of Hebei can be called the success of the tripod. Sirs, please congratulate the prince!"
After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's words, the civil and military officials present looked at each other, and read out the lines they had prepared before welcoming Jiao in a serious manner.
"The prince has the power to set the cauldron!"
"The prince has the power to set the cauldron!"
"..."
"puff……"
A certain Dr. Yinqing Guanglu who was mixed in the crowd almost burst into laughter in front of the public.
Da Lang, who is in his thirties, was bullied by Erlang, who was in his early twenties. As a result, his father immediately stepped down and helped Da Lang find trouble...
Kong Qing glanced at Qin King Li Shimin secretly.
He really wanted to know the area of Erlang's psychological shadow at this moment...
Sure enough, at this time, King Qin Li Shimin clasped his hands and bowed as if he was very humble, but his face looking at the ground was expressionless, and it was so cold that it seemed like it could scrape off a layer of frost.
After the civil and military officials shouted three times in succession, "The prince has the power to fix the tripod," His Majesty Li Yuan was satisfied and took the prince Li Jiancheng into the Tai Chi Hall. This made a certain person standing next to Li Shimin, waiting for his father to commend him.
His own King Qi suddenly looked stunned.
Aye, have you forgotten something? There is a son of yours here!
After His Majesty Li Yuan returned to the Tai Chi Hall and sat down, Tang Jian on the side immediately walked out holding the imperial edict.
"Under the Gate: March 20th of the sixth year of Wude. Tang Jianxuan, the minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said: "I have resisted insults and rushed to the court, and sent to the court especially sincerely. I have served as a virtuous person, and I have been a relative and virtuous person."
, meritorious service participates in the industry of Ding. Clearing the rivers and clearing the river will bring great achievements. It is appropriate to add favors and favors, as well as regular rank. You can receive 50,000 households with food and towns, and be given 10,000 gold and 50,000 silks."
After hearing this reward, Kong Qing immediately saw that the expressions of the civil and military officials present changed. Many officials even looked at King Qin secretly.
At this time, King Qin Li Shimin's expression also became very complicated.
At this moment, Kong Qing suddenly saw a handsome middle-aged man walking out from the side with a serious look on his face. He saluted and retorted without hesitation.
"A saint must be king with clear rewards and punishments. In the past, the king of Qin even defeated Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande... He was so outstanding that when he was promoted to the rank of general, he only had 20,000 households living in the city. Even if he lives in the city now,
It’s less than 30,000, but the prince only pacified Hebei, and then he had to live in 50,000 cities, which I always thought was unacceptable!”
After hearing the words of this handsome middle-aged man, His Majesty Li Yuan, who was sitting above, instantly turned ugly.
"Huh?"
Kong Qing quietly touched his chin with his hand.
"You actually dare to contradict Li Yuan face to face. Who is this tough guy?"
While muttering, Kong Qing quietly threw out an identification technique.
"Oh, it turns out he is Chen Shuda, the brother of Chen Shubao who likes to sing "Flowers in the Backyard of the Yushu" with Zhang Lihua!"
"The pacification of Hebei has solidified the foundation of our Tang Dynasty. This achievement is no less than that of King Qin. Besides, the prince has no other rewards except wealth..."
Li Yuan said impatiently.
"No need to say more, sir!"
"The difference between what the saint said..."
At this moment, Xiao Yu, who was standing in front of Kong Qing, also walked out of the team and retorted respectfully.
"Although Hebei is important, it may not be comparable to Luoyang. What's more, the King of Qin only gained 30,000 food towns after hundreds of battles. If the prince succeeded in pacifying Hebei, the number of food towns would surpass the King of Qin.
I’m afraid the whole world will say that the saint is unfair!”
"Xiao Zhongcheng's words are too much..."
Before His Majesty Li Yuan could speak, an old man about fifty or sixty years old stood up and opened his mouth to retort.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a noble status. He didn't have to go to Hebei originally, but he still went out to fight for the country, personally conquered Hebei, and did not shy away from the target. Moreover, the saints have said that the Crown Prince has no other rewards except food and wealth.
, is 50,000 households a lot?”
"Not much?"
Chen Shuda on the side turned his head and glared at the old man who had just appeared.
"Speaking of the noble status of the prince, the King of Qin is not noble, but the King of Qin also rides lightly into battle, goes through life and death, and has great military achievements, which are known all over the world. If the prince's contribution to the pacification of Hebei can surpass the King of Qin in terms of food, how can he win the hearts of the world?"
After hearing Chen Shuda's words, His Majesty Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. The next moment, Mr. Pei Ji stepped forward without hesitation.
"Shuda, you are thinking too much. The King of Qin can be rewarded by promotion, but the prince has no promotion, so he can only convert all of it into food and property, so it seems a bit too much. I believe people in the world will understand.
.”
"What Prime Minister Pei said is unfair..."
Xiao Yu immediately retorted.
"If there is no job to be promoted, isn't it the same for Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang? Her Highness first attacked Hebei, then swept across Bingzhou, sweeping the Turks back. With such a great achievement, she was only granted the title of 2,000 households, and her food town was transferred from
If three thousand is increased to five thousand, the prince's victory in pacifying Hebei and the victory of Liu Heita will be dozens of times more than that of Princess Pingyang. Is it worth the loss of more than 45,000 households?"
When he heard Princess Pingyang, His Majesty Li Yuan's face showed a look of hesitation for the first time, but then his eyes became firm again.
"..."
Kong Qing touched his chin with his hand and looked at the four ministers above who were quarreling with each other... debating, and he had the urge to take out half of the watermelon and eat it.
Was His Majesty Li Yuan's court so lively?
It feels more powerful than watching a TV series!
However, it is a pity that Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, like myself, will not be able to enjoy this kind of first-hand experience except when all the officials greet him out of town like today, and then finish the work and wait for opportunities such as banquets.
"This old man's name is... Yang Gongren, oh! He is actually the Secretary of the Central Committee, and he is also a prime minister! In addition, Xiao Yu, the imperial censor, Chen Shuda, the servant, and Pei Ji, the left servant... tsk tsk tsk... this is a battle between the prime ministers!
"
After getting excited about eating melons, Kong Qing simply identified all the officials present from top to bottom.
"Is this guy Feng Deyi? Oh oh oh...he is the famous Erwuzi!
"This guy is... Samurai Yu, oh oh oh... it turns out he is the future husband-in-law of the eldest wife of the Yang family. He does look good."
"Changsun Shunde, this is King Qin's loyal supporter. No wonder he looks indignant."
"This is Liu Hongji, um, he is also the loyal supporter of King Qin..."
"This is Prince Zhan Shi and Pei Ju. Come on, even Prince Zhan Shi is a member of the King of Qin's party. Li Jiancheng is so popular...wait a minute, Pei Ju, isn't this the name of the evil king Shi Zhixuan?"
Kong Qing looked up and down at this most charming villain created by a certain master Huang.
"This Lord Shi Zhixuan is indeed standing well. Unfortunately, not only does he not have any internal skills, but he also looks a little shaky. But for people today, they can live to be seventy-six years old and still have such a good spirit.
Head, very good!”
"..."
After a circle of identification skills were clicked, Kong Qing silently cast a sympathetic look at the prince Li Jiancheng.
According to the information he obtained from the identification technique, 50% of the civil and military officials in the court can be counted as part of King Qin's camp, and they are all from high to low. Even the prime ministers appointed by His Majesty Li Yuan are close to half.
He is a supporter of Li Erfeng, and most of the remaining officials are supporters of his father, His Majesty Li Yuan, such as Pei Ji, Yang Gongren, warrior Xun...
The ministers who can be called the confidants of his crown prince Li Jiancheng are less than 10% of the people in the court. The most speechless thing is that not all of the officials in his East Palace are his!
No wonder that after Li Erfeng led 800 people to kill Li Jiancheng directly at Xuanwu Gate, the entire Tang Dynasty court was surprisingly calm. Together with the prince Li Jiancheng, he had been operating in Chang'an for seven or eight years and managed to recruit so many people...
Should we say that he obeys the rules, or should we say that he is a waste?
After watching the prime ministers quarreling quietly for a long time, His Majesty Li Yuan stood up and said without any doubt.
"As Pei Qing said, the crown prince cannot be rewarded for his merits, so he can only be rewarded with more food. However, what Chen Qing and Xiao Qing said is right. My reward for Princess Pingyang is a bit too small.
However, because Hebei was still undecided, I did not include the matter of Sanniangzi cutting off the communication between Turks and Liu Heita and ensuring the flank of Hebei.
Let's do this. Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning's settlement will be increased to 10,000 households, and the amount of gold and silk given by the prince will be halved. The reward will be fair, and the matter will be settled as such, and there is no need for you to discuss it further."
After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's final decision, although the ministers present still had some objections, they had no choice but to retreat.
Looking at these ministers who retreated to the two sides, Li Yuan had a look of satisfaction on his face and spoke again.
"Hebei has just been settled, and everything is busy. I intend to appoint Tang Jian and Tang Qing as the general manager of the march on Youzhou Road to appease Youzhou Road and stabilize the state road. What do you think?"
Kong Qing looked around and found that none of the officials present had any objections to Tang Jian's appointment.
It seems that this guy named Tang Jian is very popular...
Next, Kong Qing watched His Majesty Li Yuan announce some other personnel appointments, such as the rewards for the personnel of the Prince's Palace. Among them, Kong Qing also heard a very familiar name, Wei Zheng, and the rewards he received were quite large.
high……
At the last moment, Kong Qing heard His Majesty Li Yuan announce a name that he was very familiar with.
"Prince Zhan Shi and Pei Ju have made great contributions to the pacification of Hebei, and they will be inspected and inspected by the school minister!"
"Hey! Master Shi Zhixuan has paid his respects to the Prime Minister!"
Then, Kong Qing saw the seventy-year-old ‘Evil King Shi Zhixuan’ standing up tremblingly to thank him. His Majesty Li Yuan nodded towards him with a smile on his face, and then said loudly.
"The rest of the heroes from Hebei have also received rewards. Now let me and the ministers go to the Zhaode Hall to celebrate Dalang's achievements!"
After finishing speaking, His Majesty Li Yuan turned to look at Pei Ju, who was about to step back.
"Pei Qing, when the celebration banquet starts later, I have something else to tell you..."
Before His Majesty Li Yuan could finish what he said, Qi King Li Yuanji suddenly stood up from the side and said loudly.
"Aye, I found an auspicious item in Jinyang Palace, and I came here to present it to Aye!"
