It was late at night, but Li Shimin was still awake. The screen in front of the emperor was full of names. On one side of the screen, it was written about the former Qin Mansion Qiandi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Sun Wuji, Gao Shilian, etc. On the other side of the screen,
It writes about veterans of military virtues, such as Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenhua, Liu Hongji, Tang Jian, Li Na, Pei Ju and others.
On another screen, there are clan members such as Li Daozong, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Li Youliang, Li Xiaochang, Li Shenfu, etc. There are also people named Li Yi, Li Ji, Li Zihe, etc.
Li Shimin looked at the screen and added the names of Li Jing and Li Daliang on it.
The Queen's eldest son, Sun Wugao, looked at the long list of several screens, but did not participate. He just made tea for her husband.
Li Shimin took out a blank jute paper.
Changsun immediately sharpened the ink and handed the pen to the emperor. Li Shimin took the pen and looked at the screens. He thought for a long time and finally wrote down the first name, Changsun Wuji.
"Erlang!"
Empress Changsun couldn't help but speak out.
"Wuji is my brother-in-law, and my close confidant Yuan Cong. He has been with me since the beginning of the army, making decisions, and has never left me during our campaigns in the east and west. On the fourth day of June, Yuan Mou made his first achievement,"
"Erlang is now the Son of Heaven, the king of a country. Only a king who is impartial and selfless can conquer the hearts of the people in the world. Your Majesty cannot only care about the old people when employing people."
"The old minister of martial virtue is now also your Majesty's newcomer."
"Pei Ji is the Prime Minister of the DPRK and the leader of the founding plan of the country," the eldest grandson reminded her husband.
Li Shimin thought for a while, then took another piece of paper and wrote down the list of Taiyuan Yuanmou heroes that Li Yuan had originally named, and then wrote Pei Ji's name on another piece of white paper.
Looking at this name, Li Shimin frowned and wanted to cross out the paper, crumple it into a ball and throw it into the trash, but he finally endured it.
Yes, now he is the emperor, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no longer the king of Qin, and no longer the general of Tiance. Pei Ji and others are no longer opponents, but his ministers.
The Supreme Emperor still lives in the Taiji Palace, and his first confidant and favorite Pei Ji is still Zuopu Shejia Sikong. Regardless of whether he works for public or private affairs, he should be at the top of this list of awards, and he must take care of all parties.
This reward is not only to reward the old troops of the Qin Prince's Palace for their contribution to the establishment of Conglong, but also to re-divide the old and new forces in the court structure.
Li Shimin must take care of the interests of other people.
He gritted his teeth and put the overall situation first.
Picking up another piece of paper, Li Shimin began to write about the old members of the Xuanwu Sect who had made meritorious services that day. Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Gong were ranked first. Changsun was responsible for his decision-making, while Yuchigong was decisive and loyal that day, which saved his life.
He also successfully controlled the Ouchi and the Prime Minister, ensuring the success of the plan.
Then Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others followed the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect into the palace. In addition to Yuchi Jingde and Hou Junji, the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect also included Zhang Gongjin, Liu Shili and Gongsun Wuda.
, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junchuo, Zheng Rentai and Li Mengchang.
This will definitely be rewarded heavily, especially since Hou Junji was second only to Wei Chigong on that day.
Looking at this list, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Zhou Shaofan and Chang He, the two generals of the imperial army who had responded that day, as well as Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng who died in the battle.
Xue Wanche, Feng Li, Xie Shufang, and Li Anyan were the four former palace warriors who almost ruined his plans that day, and Li Shimin also wrote down their names.
After thinking about it, I added Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and Wang Gui.
Finally, I thought of Wang Junkuo. This man was originally a relative of Li Yuan, but Li Yuan rebelled in Youzhou, but he killed Li Yuan to ask for merit. Now that he is the governor of Youzhou, he must also be rewarded and appeased.
It is not easy to reorganize the lists into a new reward list, and all aspects must be taken into consideration.
Li Shimin wrote and added Chai Shao, Lu Kuan, Dou Gui and others.
"I almost forgot these people who accompanied my six riders out of the Weishui Alliance earlier."
Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Zhou Shaofan, Wu Huaiyu, An Yuanshou.
After writing down these names, he also did not forget to include the names of the generals who participated in Chang'an's war against the Turks, such as Fan Xing, An Xiuren, Li Junxian, Wu Heita, and Warrior Xun.
The emperor finally thought about it and added Cheng Chumo, Wu Huaiyi, Niu Jianwu and Wei Siren.
"The list keeps getting longer and longer," Li Shimin sighed.
Empress Changsun said nothing and concentrated on making tea.
Li Shimin scratched his head.
"Mr. Guanyin, you said I would draw up two lists of awards. One title would be added to the title of Founding the Kingdom, and a real title would be given. One title would not be added to the title of Founding the Kingdom, and only a virtual title would be given. How about that?"
"Your Majesty, just think about it."
"To be honest, I can't bear to give so many people real titles. Since the Sui Dynasty, the number of people and the number of households has been greatly reduced. If a large number of court households are entrusted to ministers, it will be difficult for the court."
Especially for people like Pei Ji, Li Shimin became more and more unwilling to give food seals.
The eldest grandson still had to remind Li Shimin that there must be a balance. All the old members of the Qin government could not be given real titles, and all the old ministers of Wude were given false titles. This would not be conducive to unity and balance, but would create divisions.
Li Shimin thought for a while, and on the jute paper that only had Pei Ji's name written on it, he wrote a line of words after Pei Ji's name: Wei Guogong, seal one thousand, five hundred households.
Then he wrote the name of Changsun Wuji, and after a pause, he wrote the title of Duke Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then added the title of General Zuo Wuhou, with the seal of 1,300 households.
Next, he wrote five names: Wang Junkuo, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui. They were also granted the title of 1,300 households, and all five of them were granted the title of Duke.
Wang Junkuo and Qin Qiong had already been granted the title of dukedom. Li Shimin did not change Wang Junkuo's title of dukedom of Pengguo, but after some consideration, he changed the title of dukedom of Yiguo to Qin Qiong from Li Yuan and changed it to Duke of Qi.
Fang Xuanling was granted the title of Duke of Xing, Du Ruhui was granted the title of Duke of Cai, and Yuchi Gong was granted the title of Duke of Wu by Li Shimin before, so this time it remains unchanged.
Stopping writing and looking at the screens and the supplementary lists on the table, Li Shimin thought for a while.
He also wrote the names of Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong, and Changsun Shunde, and granted them one thousand two hundred households. After hesitating for a long time, he added the name of Li Yi, Prince of Yan County, and granted him one thousand two hundred households.
Further down are Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, and Liu Shili who established a thousand households. Hou Junji was granted the title of Lu Guogong, Zhang Gongjin was granted the title of Zou Guogong, and Liu Shili was named Xiang Guogong after his name. However, Li Shimin hesitated and said, "This Liu Shili is in contact with Li Yi."
It’s so secret that I haven’t changed it to this day.”
It was changed to Duke of Xiangwu County.
Li Ji and Liu Hongji have 900 households.
Gao Shilian, Yuwen Shiji and Cheng Yaojin were seven hundred households.
An Xinggui, An Xiuren, Tang Jian, Dou Gui, Qu Tutong, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, and 600 warriors.
Four hundred households include Liu Yijie, Qian Jiulong, Fan Xing, Gongsun Wuda, Li Mengchang, Duan Zhixuan, Pang Qingyun, Zhang Liang, Li Jing, Du Yan and Yuan Zhongwen.
Three hundred households include Zhang Changxun, Zhang Pinggao, Li Anyuan, Li Zihe, Qin Xingshi, and Ma Sanbao.
Li Shimin thought for a while and added the names of Zhou Shaofan, Wu Huaiyu, and An Yuanshou, who were on the list of the six riders who came out of the Weishui River.
I originally wanted to seal 300 households, but I hesitated and sealed 200 households.
After finishing writing, he looked at the list for a long time, and finally crossed out the last three names again. Li Shimin took up his pen and wrote a few small words after the crossed out names, conferring a virtual title.
"Guanyin Maid, please take a look at this sealed list for me. Is there anything missing?"
There are either Dukes, Dukes, or even Princes.
"Is there only 400 households of Medicine Master Li? Also, are the King of Rencheng, Daozong, and the King of Huai'an with magical powers not on the list?"
"Li Jing," mentioned this name, Li Shimin shook his head. To be honest, Li Jing was very capable, and he was from a famous Guanlong family. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, he assisted Li Xiaogong to win almost half of the southeastern country for the Tang Dynasty. However, after the fierce battle between Li Shimin and Jiancheng
During the fight, Li Shimin tried to win over him in every possible way, but Li Jing did not support him.
"If it weren't for the fact that Li Keshi also made great contributions that day, I wouldn't have written him on this list. He actually occupied Li Keshi's position."
Two brothers, if we put Pharmacist Li on the list, then Keshi Li can only be put on the list of false seals.
"Why did Li Ji seal another nine hundred households?" Changsun was puzzled. Their attitudes were actually similar.
"Li Ji, Li Yi, Li Zihe, An Xiuren, Zhang Changxun, Wang Junkuo and others were all rebels against the king in the late Sui Dynasty. They led troops and offered soil to surrender, which is different."
Li Ji was the controller of the remaining troops after the defeat of Wagang. He was also one of the founders of Wagang. After Li Mi defected to the Tang Dynasty and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and was killed, the Tang Dynasty had been trying to win over Li Ji because he was a mountain representative.
Just like now, Li Yi has already made Li Shimin have murderous intentions, but today, Li Yi still has to be ranked in the 1,200 real seal column.
In the same way, Zhang Changxun, who previously ruled Jiuyuan, Hetao, Li Zihe, who ruled Yulin, and brothers An Xiuren, a powerful man in Hexi, were actually Shantou representatives, and Li Shimin still had to appease and win over them.
Li Jing was different. He was one of the military aristocrats of Guanlong. Back then, he wanted to report Li Yuan for rebellion, but Li Shimin protected him. However, he refused to support Li Shimin. If not for the fact that he could fight, he would not have opposed him.
The performance in resisting the Turks this time was not bad. Li Jing was not qualified to be on the list of real seals. There were only 400 households, and they should have belonged to his younger brother Li Keshi.
Among the prime ministers of Wu De, Yang Gongren was not on the list of real seals, but his cousin-in-law, Warrior Xun, was on it. Li Shimin thought that Warrior Xun, a hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, was very knowledgeable and had an extremely upright attitude. At the same time, he was somewhat influenced by Wu Huaiyu. He looked at Wu Huaiyu every day.
, I will inevitably think of Samurai Yu from time to time. If I always have this person in my mind, I will naturally get some extra points.
Li Shimin began to write another list of awards. This list was also a list of knights, but it was all false.
Zhou Shaofan, An Yuanshou and Wu Huaiyu, who had just been crossed out, were directly added to the list. Zhou Shaofan was originally the Duke of Yichun County, so Li Shimin made him the Duke of Qiao County.
An Yuanshou was directly granted the title of Prince of Wuwei County.
Seeing that Wu Huaiyu's name had already been granted the title of Daling County Prince by the Jin Dynasty, Li Shimin thought for a while and wrote Shouyang County Bo, and then changed An Yuanshou's Wuwei County Son to County Bo.
Niu Jinda, Li Junxian, Wu Heitai, Liu Lancheng, etc. are constantly being added to the long list. Perhaps it is because this list is a false one, and Li Shimin has no pressure. Ma Zhou has also sealed a man from Gaotang County, Cheng Chumo
I also got a boy from Dong'e County, and out of loyalty I got a boy from Daling County.
Li Keshi was named the Duke of Danyang County...
"Mr. Guanyin, please come and take a look at this list of Sanjue."
Forty-eight people were actually knighted, nine levels, including twenty-four for each of the Supreme Emperor and the new Emperor.
One hundred and eight false titles.
The eldest grandson Wugou took it and looked at it carefully, "Both Wu Huaiyu brothers are knighted?"
"Wu Huaiyi performed meritorious service on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, and thereafter he also made military exploits in Longyou. Not to mention Wu Huaiyu's meritorious service. Not only did he perform meritorious service on the battlefield, but he also gave me many good advice and suggestions, and even recommended great talents like Ma Zhou, not to mention
The elixir prescription, talisman and seal script he gave me are also of great use, not to mention he is the uncle of the abbot Lou Guan, and he is only a Sanjue anyway." Li Shimin is training this Wu brother as a confidant, although
I have not followed him as long as Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, etc., but now he is also interested in training new people.
Compared with the list of actual titles, the list of those with false titles is much longer. There are also many false titles of princes. As for the number of county princes, county princes and county princes, there are also many county princes and sub-county men.
seal up.
Basically all the old people of the Prince of Qin's Mansion are among those receiving rewards this time.
Not only many military officers were granted the title of Sanjue, but many civil servants were also granted the title this time. For example, Yu Shinan, one of the eighteen bachelors of the former Qin Palace, was also granted the title of county boy or county son.
Even Wei Zheng was granted the title of Son of Julu County by the male Jin of Julu County.
The large reward he received after taking the throne this time is also unprecedented. It is estimated that it will be difficult to receive such a large reward in the future. Those who can be awarded will definitely be arranged.
The couple studied the two lists all night and revised them.
Li Shimin finally made a big change in the titles of Dukes granted by Li Yuan. The Duke of Qin Qiongyi was changed to the Duke of Qi, and the Duke of Cheng Yaojinsu was changed to the Duke of Lu.
The eldest grandson reminded him, "Didn't Your Majesty restore Liu Wenjing's title and order his son Liu Shuyi to attack the Duke of Lu?"
"That's right," Li Shimin slapped his head. Liu Wenjing was his number one confidant Yuan Cong, but unfortunately he was unjustly killed by Li Yuan and Pei Ji together. "The Duke of Lu should be left to Liu Wenjing's son. Cheng Zhijie should be granted the title of Duke of Lu instead."
"Your Majesty, Duke Lu also has someone. The late Quan Hongshou, former minister of the Ministry of War, who was your Majesty's chief historian, was granted the title of Duke Lu. Now his son is the imperial censor Quan Zhirang."
Li Shimin shook his head, "As for Quan Zhirang, who impeached Wu Huaiyu and Xu Jingzong for misconduct in the court last time, I know that he recently impeached your uncle Gao Shilian, saying that he was pursuing personal interests and perverting the law, but there was an investigation and nothing happened.
I already want someone to deal with him,
So we might as well demote his title to Duke of Tianshui County and transfer the title of Duke of Lu to Cheng Zhijie."
The two lists of knights were initially drawn up, and Li Shimin began to draw up the list of promotions. Those who deserved promotions should be promoted. Some of the people who were not on the list of knights also had to be promoted, and arrangements had to be made.
superior.
"Oh, my eyes are all dizzy."
"Your Majesty, every official title, national famous weapon, and every reward must be considered carefully. Naturally, it is very troublesome. Why not rest today and make plans tomorrow."
"Those people have been waiting for a long time, and they are impatient. If I delay for one more day, I will have one more complaint. The reward will not be overdue. I really can't delay it any longer. If it hadn't been for the Turks' invasion, I would have been there long ago.
It’s time for a reward.”
Li Shimin rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Mr. Guanyin, bring me some snacks and I'll think about it carefully."
