"Zhao Cihao, Sima of Binzhou, participated in quelling the rebellion and made meritorious service. He was promoted to the governor of Bazhou and the Duke of Huaihua County."
"Yang Wei, the commander of the Binzhou army, was promoted to the governor of Binzhou and the Duke of Xinping County."
·······
The emperor was in a good mood and went directly to the Golden Palace to discuss his merits and reward him without any delay. The rewards were also very generous. Zhao Cihao was promoted to the governor by Sima. His father was originally a Duke of Huaihua, and the title was originally inherited by his brother. Later, his brother was granted the title of Princess Shang.
When he was the Duke of Kaihua County, he was demoted to the title of Marquis of Huaihua. This time, he was promoted to the County Duke for his role in quelling the rebellion.
Yang Qian was promoted from commander of the army to commander-in-chief, from the lower rank of the fifth rank, to commander of the governor of Shang. From the fifth rank, the official was only promoted by one level, but his title was also promoted from county marquis to county prince.
In the palace.
Everyone knows that the achievements of Zhao Cihao and Yang Qian are far inferior to Wu Huaiyu who "happened to pass by". Wu Huaiyu, who is also now a county marquis, does not know how he will be rewarded this time.
The emperor sat on the throne, stroking his exquisite beard, and laughed from time to time.
I think that when he was suing Liu Heitai, he also tried to win over Li Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, but Li Yi did not accept his kindness as the King of Qin. Later, Jiancheng sued Liu Heitai for the second time, but Li Yi took the initiative to join Jiancheng.
Later, after Li Yi entered the court, he openly beat Li Shimin's confidant Zhang Liang and ignored him at all.
Later, he secretly sent 300 cavalry to Jiancheng. This feud has been going on for a long time.
Even if private grievances are ignored and only public opinion is concerned, Li Yi, who rebelled against the king in the late Sui Dynasty, will definitely take back power one after another by now. Li Yi refused to give up his position as the governor of Jingzhou and refused to hand over his military power.
Publicly and privately, I cannot keep him.
Li Yi is like a thorn in the flesh, making Li Shimin uncomfortable all the time, but now he is finally at ease.
"Wu Huaiyu went to Yanzhou, and when he encountered a rebellion in Binzhou, he acted decisively and dealt with it so cleanly. I am very satisfied and a civil strife was avoided.
great merit!"
"Hon, rank, title, all promoted to one level!"
Many people in the palace know that Wu Huaiyu is now bestowed with purple gold, and this rank is from the fifth rank to the court official, plus the guerrilla general Sanhao, from the fifth rank to the prince Xi Ma and the fourth rank to the Yanzhou governor, and above
Honorable General.
All are added one level, that is, from the fifth rank of the Jin Dynasty to the rank of imperial official, and from the eleventh rank to the rank of xunzhuguo, county duke.
"Do you have any opinions on the rewards for the three main heroes who helped put down the rebellion?" the emperor asked.
None of the officials in the palace made a sound.
A county prince rebelled and was put down, and three county princes were promoted to county princes for their merits. If they were just fictitious titles, it didn't mean anything.
Anyway, the county prince has neither a land nor a household, and he has no salary. The court favors him without any cost, but for the courtiers, after all, the title represents a special honor, and a higher title can enjoy higher etiquette standards.
.
Even Wei Zheng didn't say a word today.
It's not because he owed Wu Huaiyu a lot of favors recently, or even planned to get married to the Wu family, but because Li Yi's rebellion was indeed sudden, and if Li Yi's ability could not be suppressed in time, he would occupy Jing and Bin states.
It will cause huge damage to the court.
But now he was killed by Wu Huaiyu as soon as he started the rebellion. This seems very simple, but the credit is indeed great.
It was so big that Wei Zheng felt that even if the emperor granted Wu Huaiyu a real title of one or two hundred households and promoted the official title to a real title, he would have no reason to object.
More people below were secretly envious of Wu Huaiyu's good luck.
How can I go to Yanzhou to take up a job and still pick up such a miracle on the way?
Even luckier than shit luck.
It seems that the ancestral tomb of the Wu family in Wenshui, Bingzhou, is really smoking.
Can such a good thing happen to this young man? Or is it because Zhongnan Yinxian Xiaoyaozi has transformed into an immortal queen and has been secretly protecting this disciple?
"Doesn't anyone have an opinion?" the emperor asked again.
Still no one objected.
The real achievements were there, but they didn't know that all of this was not a coincidence, but the result of more than half a year of planning between the emperor and the Six Gates.
They just thought that Wu Huaiyu was lucky and had great abilities. He happened to meet him and he was able to quickly and decisively put it down, and he did it neatly.
I even feel that the credit is just for being promoted to one rank each, which is a bit less.
"Xuanling, you draft the edict of sealing and rewarding, and Tongshiren will go to Jingzhou to convey the decree and seal him."
Although Li Yi was executed, there were still many things to deal with.
"Take away the surname Li Yi and restore his original surname, take away the title of King Yan and all official positions, cut off the fiefs, confiscate all properties, and deprive the wives and concubines of their status as slaves..."
Changsun Wuji came out and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Ni's younger brother Luo Shou is now the governor of Lizhou. I ask your Majesty to issue an order and send someone to capture him and bring him to the capital."
"Dismissal from the post of governor of Luoshouli Prefecture, depriving him of all his official titles, losing his family status, and immediately arresting him and bringing him to Beijing."
A person like Luo Yi who openly conspired against others would not let go of his family even if he died. Although he would not openly say that he would kill the nine clans, several generations of his family would be killed and his wife and daughter would be slaves.
.
Even the mother's family, wife's family, and even son-in-law, in-laws, etc. will be affected by the implication.
The Luo Yi family is also the sect of Guan Long. This time at least this branch of the Luo family has been uprooted.
And this is just the beginning.
With Luo Yi's rebellion being punished, the Luo family will be killed first, and then the interrogation will slowly implicate Luo Yi's old subordinates, colleagues, relatives, and friends.
How far it will be involved in the end depends on the emperor's needs.
The sensitive ministers in the court have noticed that a storm is forming.
Some people are happy and some are worried. People who used to have a good relationship with Luo Yi are already panicking, such as Duke Xiangwu, General Zuo Xiaowei Liu Shili, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Duke Liu Zhenghui of Xing. One of these two people is one of the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect, and the other
He is one of the seventeen heroes of Li Yuan's Taiyuan Yuanmou, and they were all the forty-eight heroes last year.
But both of them have close relationships with Li Yi, and are even close relatives.
Luo Yi was punished for his rebellion, and it was difficult for them to clear up their relationship.
Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling to go directly to the palace to draft the edict of the title. Not only Wu Huaiyu was granted the title of County Duke during the Jin Dynasty, but others such as Su Lieniu and others were also awarded meritorious service.
He wrote the edict and presented it to the emperor for viewing.
Li Shimin looked at Wu Huaiyu who was promoted to Duke of Shouyang County, thought for a while, picked up the ink pen, and added a few words on it.
The founding Duke of Shouyang County was granted the title of one hundred households.
When the emperor handed the revised edict to Fang Xuanling to draft again, all the officials below became even more envious.
Wu Huaiyu's contribution to quelling the rebellion could be granted either a real title or a virtual title of county prince. In the end, the emperor granted a real title to a hundred households, making him the 49th real title meritorious official of the Zhenguan Dynasty, which showed the appreciation of the saint.
Some people wanted to open their mouths to object, but after thinking about it they shut up.
This was a great military achievement. He suppressed the rebellion of a county prince and quickly recovered two states. This merit was enough to grant him a title.
You must know that last year Wang Junkuo rebelled against Li Yuan, the king of Pinglujiang in Youzhou. Afterwards, he got 1,300 households to be granted the title of Duke, and was granted the title of General of the Left Army and Governor of Youzhou. He was also promoted to the rank of Zuo Guanglu, a first-level official, and was also granted the title of Duke.
Give him the entire population of Li Yuan's family.
Li Yuan is also a king, but he is still a two-character king. In terms of ability, he is much worse than Li Yi.
It would be enough to follow the example of Wang Junkuo and Li Yuan, king of Lujiang in Youzhou, and grant Wu Huaiyu the title of a Twelve Guards General or a Great General, a real title of Duke or County Duke, and the title of Governor.
Now it is only a county official with a hundred households, and the casual rank has only been increased by one level, and it is only from the fifth rank. How can I have the nerve to object?
This is not to pacify some bandit or commoner, this is to pacify the King of Yan, Li Yi.
Fang Xuanling took a pen and re-drafted the edict in the palace. The pen was in a hurry and all the officials watched silently.
The fourth Duke of the Wu family has appeared, and the Wu family is really prosperous.
The imperial edict was granted, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"The imperial edict ordered Sun Wuji, the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to serve as the comfort ambassador of Jingzhou Road and go to Jing to comfort and deal with the aftermath."
Changsun Wuji stopped by to have some soup and do some aftermath work, but he could still be considered as participating in putting down Luo Yi's rebellion, which would give him more qualifications in the future.
Of course, some of the aftermath matters also need to be handled by Changsun Wuji, his uncle and confidant, such as copying from Luo Yi's home the letters that he exchanged with some powerful officials in the court and the old Youzhou ministry to discuss rebellion, etc.
In order to be implicated and investigated at that time, we need a capable person who can understand the emperor's thoughts and make the final decision.
Changsun Wuji is naturally the most suitable.
Although Li Yi fell, there are still Li Xiaochang, Li Youliang and Jiancheng's confidants who have not been dealt with yet.
"Hang the heads of the rebel Luo Yi, his brothers, and others at the gate of Chang'an City for public display."
"The slaves in Luo Yi's family will be distributed among the three meritorious officials Wu Huaiyu, Zhao Cihao and Yang Ke."
All officials are envious.
They all lamented Wu Huaiyu's good luck and ability.
Before arriving at Shuofang, he had accomplished a great feat first.
After receiving the decree, Tongshi Shiren, escorted by a hundred cavalry guards, rushed to Jingzhou to declare the reward.
It's a five-hundred-mile journey, and it takes only two days for a quick horse to arrive.
At this time, everything in Jingzhou City has returned to calm, and it is not even possible to see any changes here.
However, there are still changes. The former Yan King was killed for his rebellion, and the former Tianjie Commandery Mansion is now occupied by Wu Huaiyu.
In front of the Yamen, there is also a tree with two banners and two festivals specially gifted by the emperor.
The angel arrived in a hurry, and Wu Huaiyu led a group of officials to greet the imperial edict.
When the angel finished announcing his decree, everyone was happy, but Wu Huaiyu was a little surprised. He thought he was just a tool to quell the chaos.
It wasn't too difficult, and it only took one day to deal with Li Yi.
Who knew that in the end we would actually get the founding Duke of Shouyang County who was granted a hundred households? It was an unexpected joy and a pleasure.
Zhao Cihao and Yang Ji were also promoted to county officials, but they were just false titles, inferior to Huaiyu. However, Zhao was promoted to governor of Bazhou, and Yang was promoted to Sima of Binzhou. The three of them also divided Luo Yi's slaves, and Wu Huaiyu got half of them.
, Zhao and Yang split half of it.
Unfortunately, it was only the slaves of the Luo family, and only those of the Luo Yi family. His brothers' waiting was not included, and the property such as the land, house, etc. was not distributed to them.
But even if Huaiyu only gets half of the Luo Yi family's slaves, it is still a huge fortune.
Before Luo Yi's rebellion, he was the third division of Kaifu Yitong, King of Yan, and the general of the Twelve Guards. Before that, he was also the general Tianjie of the Twelve Army, and he was a very popular minister.
His family had thousands of slaves and hundreds of concubines. Tongshiren told Huaiyu that he could get at least five to six hundred slaves, maids, and prostitutes.
"Congratulations to Duke Wu for being promoted to the founding Duke of Shouyang County, and congratulations to the founding of the government,"
After being granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo County, added a national honor, and was promoted to the fourth rank, Wu Huaiyu was able to enjoy the special treatment of the Tang Dynasty, open a government, and set up government officials and subordinates!
