As soon as Samurai Yu stood up, everyone knew that something good was going to happen. After all, Wu Erlang, the prince and Wei Zheng who were arguing, was Samurai Yu's disciple.
"Wu Aiqing, please speak!"
The warrior Xun glanced sideways at Wei Zheng, full of disdain, and went straight to the tune, "In the eleventh year of the great cause of the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang was patrolling the north. He was caught off guard by the Turkic Jieli Khan. He fled into Yanmen Pass and was subsequently surrounded by a breakout army.
, I was also in the army at that time."
Li Shimin nodded.
During the siege of Yanmen, he was only sixteen years old, and he was also ordered by King Qin.
"At that time, Fan Zigai gave a plan to Emperor Yang. He established a fortified city to defeat him, and recruited soldiers from all directions to bring reinforcements. He personally caressed the soldiers of Xun and ordered him not to conquer Liao again. Being thick is his character, and everyone must work hard.
Why worry?"
Fan Zigai was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and gave the advice that as long as the emperor issued an edict saying that he would not conquer Liaodong in the future, and at the same time awarded generous rewards, and as long as the soldiers bravely killed the enemy and were rewarded with honorary titles, they would be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.
Don't worry.
Yang Guang then announced in front of all the soldiers that as long as you work hard to kill the thieves, you will have no worries about wealth and honor. Your merits will never be wiped out by the writers who have the skills to defend the city. Those who have made meritorious service in defending the city will be promoted to the sixth rank and given hundreds of gifts.
Duan, those who have officials will gain accordingly.
The reward of being directly promoted to a sixth-grade official was indeed tempting. At that time, hundreds of thousands of Turkic horsemen were attacking Yanmen day and night, but the Sui army fought bravely against the enemy and refused to fight day and night. There were countless casualties and no one retreated.
"Wu Huaiyu is my nephew, but today I serve the country as your highness, and I have to stand up and refute Wei Zheng. I asked Wei Zheng, you were a Taoist priest in the previous dynasty, and then you were a minor official under the account of Cheng Yuan Baobao in Wuyang County, and later you were
What rank of official did you appoint Li Mi as the secretary? In the first year of Wude, you joined the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court appointed you as Secretary Cheng of the fifth rank. What achievements did you make to receive this position?"
The general manager of Chai Da was leading more than 20,000 Longyou victorious soldiers to reinforce the Guanzhong battle. At this time, Wei Zheng said that His Highness rewarded Longyou soldiers too generously for their merits, and asked His Highness to take back the imperial edict awarding the rewards.
As a result, Datang gained a young baron.
I can't help but feel a little envious of Wu Erlang. He has been practicing Taoism in the mountains for nine years. When he came down from the mountain, he was specially promoted to be an official. In just over a month, he had already achieved the fifth rank of county male.
"Wei Zheng, what else can you say?"
After saying that, Li Shimin turned to look at the warrior Xun, "The advice that Duke Ying gave just now is very reasonable. I have benefited only a small amount and will be rewarded with a hundred pieces of silk!"
The warrior Xun snorted, turned to Li Shimin and said: "Your Highness just said it well, the title of honorary officer is designed to reward meritorious service. In the early years, Wei Zheng used his clever tongue to defect to various places, and the imperial court was able to accept him. Now Wu Huaiyu
The real military achievements are there, but Wei Zheng opposes him at every turn. Could it be that we are both Taoist priests, but we are still enemies?"
"The imperial court sent you to appease Shandong. You were captured by Dou Jiande, but you settled down to serve as Dou Jiande's daily caretaker. After His Highness the Crown Prince defeated Dou Jiande, you entered the Tang Dynasty again. What achievements did you make to be appointed as the fifth-rank prince?"
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng for a long time.
"If we go by Wei Zheng's words, then I was originally just a group of soldiers from Bingzhou Prefecture. I raised my army from Long. I was not more than a year old. Your Majesty conferred on me the title of Duke Ying. Shouldn't I accept it? This is the prince's uncle in the imperial court.
Do all the male ministers have to invite themselves to be knighted now?"
Seeing Wei Zheng being so stubborn, Li Shimin frowned even more.
Now, Wu Huaiyu was born in the seventh rank, but he was a ninth rank officer, and he was a founding baron in the fifth rank, and he had a sixth rank job.
In the past, the weapons supervisors also set up weapons supervisors in various offices. The weapons supervisors were from the eighth rank, and the weapons supervisors were from the fourth rank, which was lower than the third rank from the Shaofu supervisors who were in charge of the government of hundreds of craftsmanship.
Li Shimin sighed, "When I was only sixteen years old, I followed Yun Dingfang from Hedong to King Qin after receiving the imperial edict. It is really remarkable that Yanmen was able to defend it."
"I will give you two hectares of land in Guanzhong, ten slaves, two horses, a hundred pieces of various colors, and a pair of silver vases."
The Arms Supervisor was established in the early Tang Dynasty, and was once classified as the Shaofu Supervisor. Wude was abolished in the seventh year, reinstated in the eighth year, and abolished again in the ninth year.
"Your Highness, Yangdi Yanmen has only been surrounded for more than ten years. Although the Shibi Khan passed away, the current Jieli Khan is his younger brother. The Turks are determined to conquer me and want to ride on the Central Plains.
, reenacting the story of the Northern Wei Dynasty occupying the Central Plains,
Unexpectedly, the warrior Yu stood up again at this time, "I think what Wei Zheng said is somewhat reasonable. I am Wu Huaiyu's uncle, and I also feel that Wu Huaiyu is still too young, so it is not appropriate to reward him too generously."
"Your Highness, drafting edicts and drafting orders is the official duty of Zhongshu Shiren. I am here to advise and advise the officials. This is not my official duty."
He was granted the title of Wu Huaiyu, the founding baron of Daling County, and the honorary title of Grand General. He was awarded the title of Xuan Yilang from the seventh rank of the Jin Dynasty. He was awarded the title of General of Weizhou Hospital Town. He ordered the chief of the North Gate to lead the flying cavalry. He was specially awarded with scarlet robes and silver fish.
Bag, reward slaves with land, money and silk...
Daling County is Wenshui County. It was also renamed Xishouyang County because of the people who moved to Shouyang. The title given to Wu Huaiyu by the prince was because Wu Huaiyu's hometown was Wenshui, and his ancestors had also given him the title of Grand Prince.
The mausoleum was later granted the title of Duke of Shouyang. At the time, the warrior Xun also granted the title of Duke of Shouyang.
The warrior Xun continued: "I was in Yanmen at that time and suffered many serious injuries. After we defeated the Turks, we all thought that Emperor Yang could keep his promise and award official rewards. However, Prime Minister Su Wei thought that the rewards were too heavy. Fan Zi
Although Gai argued hard, in the end there were more than 17,000 soldiers guarding the city, but Emperor Yang only granted official titles to 1,500 of them.
"After your majesty rebelled and entered Chang'an to establish the country, he once told us, Yuan Cong, that the Sui family was stingy about honors and rewards, which is why they have lost the hearts of the people."
Wei Zheng, who was also a Taoist priest, felt very complicated when he finished writing this edict. However, he could no longer care about this. He now had to start thinking about how to go to Hebei and Shandong to recruit and build the old Yuanji ministry. This task was not easy.
, if he doesn't do it right, His Highness the Prince will probably punish him severely.
Fortunately, this product is missing three levels, and the Sanjiang Guerrilla General was not added in the end.
After the court meeting ended, Li Shimin discussed matters with Fang Du and others.
Wei Zheng, who had been beaten with random punches before, was retreating steadily, but now he stopped at the first opportunity. He is worthy of being a hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou.
"He was removed from the post of Sima of Weizhou, and he was still given the command of the general of the hospital, and was ordered to go to the north gate of Beijing to be the commander."
Yuwen Shiji felt a little embarrassed, because they just said that Yang Guang was killed in Jiangdu, and the regicide was from his Yuwen family. His brother Yu Wenhuaji and his younger brother Yuwen Zhiji were the masterminds of the Jiangdu rebellion. After killing Yang Guang, Yu Wenshiji
He also founded the Xu Kingdom and proclaimed himself emperor.
"Ying Guogong is Huaiyu's father. He loves his children and will follow them when he is young." Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said, "Wu Huaiyu was awarded the title of founding father of Daling County, and he was granted the rank of Xuanyilang Sanguan, a seventh-rank official.
After eight rounds of awards, he accumulated nine rounds and became a general."
The warrior Xun made Wei Zheng speechless with a few words. After a long time, he said with a blushing face: "I persuade Li Ji to lead his country back to the Tang Dynasty for the Tang Dynasty..."
"Wei Zheng." The prince called his name, "Is such a reward feasible?"
We fought desperately for many days, but in the end we got nothing. We broke our promises and got fat, and as a result, the soldiers were all resentful."
Li Shimin smiled, turned around and asked Zhongshu Ling Yuwen Shiji, "What does Mr. Yuwen think?"
Wei Zheng had no choice but to draft it himself.
I wonder how everyone would feel if this news reached Longyou and reached the ears of the Longyou soldiers who are rushing to Guanzhong!"
Emperor Yang was stingy with rewards and refused to reward meritorious deeds. In the next two years, Jiangdu was killed and the world was overturned.
"I plan to reset the Ordnance Supervision, and after Wu Huaiyu returns to Beijing, let him secretly prepare a new workshop outside Jiafang and Nufang to develop palm mines for military use."
Even if it is the lowest level among the twelve ranks of generals established in the seventh year of Takeru, it is still the fifth rank.
"Very well, Wei Zheng. There has just been a rebellion in Youzhou. There are also many Jiancheng and Yuanji old tribes in Shandong and Hebei. You are familiar with them, so I will send you to pacify them. If there is another turmoil in Hebei and Shandong, I will be the only one who comes.
You are asking, if you can pacify Hebei and Shandong, Gu Ye will reward you with the founding baron, and you will do what you say!"
The prince pondered for a moment.
Although this level is only from the seventh level, he has only been from the ninth level before, which is equivalent to rising to seven levels in a row. One jumping dance skill can only go up to the second level, which is equivalent to three and a half jumping swing skills.
With the eighth-level honors added, he became a general of the third rank.
"I believe that meritorious service should indeed be rewarded, but rewards and punishments should be measured. Although Wu Huaiyu has military merit, I believe that the reward is still too generous. He can be awarded a baron, but he has lost his rank and his career should still be promoted carefully. He has only been in the official position for more than a month.
Directly promoting him from the ninth rank to the fifth rank is too much. If His Highness appreciates him, he can be given a scarlet robe and silver fish..."
"Just do it for me."
From the beginning of the army, Li Yuan never hesitated to confer officers and titles. He directly awarded the title of king to the heroes who were willing to rely on the separatist party, and those who led the troops to return were awarded the title of Duke. Even at the beginning of the army, he treated the people who supported him along the way.
To the scattered officials, and to the captured Sui troops, they were also given directly to the scattered officials.
The emperor's close attendant Yuan Cong.
Does Wei Zheng want to be Su Wei's second best? Or does he want to harm our country and the country of the Tang Dynasty?
The minister, the warrior Tong, asked your highness to repel Wei Zheng and other sycophants who only knew how to use clever words and tricks to confuse the king. Now the two Khans Jieli and Tuli have entered Jingzhou with 100,000 cavalry. Their swords are hanging above their heads. The officers and soldiers of Longyou are planning on your highness. Chai Da
Under the leadership of the general manager, they finally won a great victory and eliminated the Turkic troubles in Longyou.
This old fox can offend no one.
Two years later, Yang Guang was killed by his imperial guards, the Xiaoguo Army, in Jiangdu.
Think about it, it has been ten years since I joined Yuanbao Bao's account in the 13th year of Daye until now. I have experienced Yuanbao Li Mi, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Li Jiancheng and now Li Shimin. Although I have a fifth-rank official position, I still have no one to belong to.
I feel that I have never gained anyone’s true trust.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others looked at the uncomfortable Wei Zheng and had no sympathy for him. He insisted on contradicting the prince over such a trivial matter. Moreover, he, the admonishing doctor, was a provincial minister, while the warrior Xun, the Huangmen servant, was a deputy provincial minister.
, isn’t this making you feel uncomfortable?
Besides, when is it now that the prince rewards Wu Huaiyu, Xue Wanche, Chai Shao, etc., it naturally has profound meaning.
This led Li Yuan to fight all the way into Guanzhong, where he was greeted by a small number of rebels.
"Wei Zheng, please change this edict for me." Li Shimin did not forget to give Wei Zheng a beating and asked him to personally rewrite the edict for Wu Huaiyu.
Li Shimin's words were already somewhat majestic, and Wei Zheng also knew that he had offended the prince today. If it hadn't been for the sword from the warrior Xun, he wouldn't have cared about fighting the prince to the end. But with the warrior Xun disturbing him, he would not object now.
It makes sense, so I had no choice but to nod at the moment.
For an 18-year-old young man who has only been in the official position for less than two months, this promotion is hard to watch.
"Wu Erlang is young and promising, and has indeed made great contributions. He should be heavily rewarded and can be given the title of Founding Baron to reward his merits. However, he is young after all. I think that it is not impossible to add the title of fifth-grade guerrilla general, but the dispersion of this grade can be slow.
Take your time."
Especially when the prince ordered Beimen to be a commander, it actually meant that he did not have to stay in Weizhou at all, but instead served as a sixth-grade town general and went to the Beimen camp in Chang'an to serve as a general of the imperial army, with the guards on duty.
Under the Ordnance Supervision are mainly the Nufang Department and the Jiafang Department. The Nufang is mainly responsible for making bows, crossbows, arrows, etc., and the latter is mainly responsible for making armor. Both of them have many workshops and workshops.
After discovering the power of palm thunder, Li Shimin planned to use it on a large scale to deal with the Turks. For this reason, Li Shimin didn't care at all about Chai Shao's plan to leave Wu Huaiyu to guard Yanjing Village in Weizhou. How could it be done with just a little salt?
Compared with palm thunder, which may become a secret weapon to defeat the Turks.
"With a founding baron and a general, plus someone from the seventh rank, Wu Erlang will not be unhappy, right?"
Fang Du and others all believed that after receiving this edict, Wu Huaiyu would kneel down with joy to thank Prince Hong En.
During the Takeru period, he was promoted to the rank of general in the ninth rank, and in the tenth rank, he was promoted to the rank of general.
