Chapter 575: Reward and Punishment on Dragon Boat in Haichi
Chang'an.
In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin was boating in the North Sea, accompanied by Zhang Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, and Zhang Liang's confidants.
"Have you prepared Dugu Yanyun's posthumous title and gifts?"
The weather was hot, the Tai Chi Palace was low and stuffy, and he was upset. The emperor looked a little haggard.
"Taichang Temple proposes a posthumous title of Zhuang." Fang Xuanling said.
Taichang Temple is responsible for drafting posthumous titles, while Taichang Qing and Shaoqing are responsible for drafting posthumous titles for Emperor Daxing, while posthumous titles for ministers of third rank and above are drafted by Dr. Taichang.
After the draft is completed, it will be submitted to the Minister of Provincial Affairs for discussion on the posthumous title. After the discussion is completed, the Minister of Rites will write the posthumous proposal and submit it to the Political Affairs Hall.
Those who can receive the posthumous title are all ministers of the third rank or above and dear ministers.
"Taichang intends to posthumously call Zhuang,"
When Li Shimin heard this posthumous title, he sighed and pondered. Before the Western Han Dynasty, there was no posthumous title Zhuang in the law. Zhuang and Zhuang were both interchangeable to a certain extent and had more meanings.
Changsun Wuji explained, "It is called Zhuang when the soldiers are in urgent need of action. It is called Zhuang when Ruiyu overcomes the enemy. It is called Zhuang when he defeats the enemy and overcomes chaos. He is called Zhuang when he dies in the field. He is called Zhuang when he fights repeatedly and fails. Strong, mighty, virtuous and strong, it is called Zhuang.”
Six people in the Cao Wei Group received the posthumous title Zhuang, Xu Chu, Wenpin, Pang De, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Cao Ti,
Guan Yu's posthumous title was Zhuang Miao.
Li Shimin heard that the posthumous title Zhuang was proposed,
What comes to mind is that dying in the wilderness is called Zhuang, being powerful but failing is called Zhuang, being strong and courageous is called Zhuang,
Finally, I also think of defeating the enemy and overcoming chaos, which is called Zhuang.
As the general of Youwuhou, the deputy governor of Andong, the Duke of Liyang, and the deputy general manager of Shanxi in Beizheng, he died on the battlefield and was defeated in Dashigou and the entire army was wiped out.
This posthumous title is relatively consistent.
Dugu Yanyun underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army and his own death. If it had not been for Cong Long's support, he would have been impeached and held accountable.
It is even possible to deprive him of his title and land.
Today, I am more nostalgic for old friendships, so I take more care of Dugu Yanyun.
Among the posthumous titles of ministers, the highest among civil servants is Wenzheng, and the highest among military generals is Zhongwu.
Two-character posthumous titles are better than one-character ones, especially posthumous titles of civil servants with Wen and posthumous titles of generals with Wu.
Nowadays, the best posthumous title among civil servants is actually Wen Zhen. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it was changed to Wenzheng, the highest. This was because it was changed to avoid the taboo of Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty.
Dugu Yanyun was not good enough for Wu, let alone Zhongwu, Wumu, Jingwu, etc., but he was called Zhuang. Li Shimin felt that he was deliberately referring to death in the wilderness, being powerful but not succeeding, and being strong and brave.
Although it is a beautiful posthumous title, it evokes bad associations.
"Dugu Yanyun was supported by the dragon and made many military exploits." Li Shimin changed his posthumous title to him, "It is better to be called Xiang."
Xiang, it is virtuous to open up soil, it is hard to wear armor, and it is meritorious to do things.
Much better than being strong.
No matter what, Dugu Yanyun's contribution to following the dragon and supporting him cannot be erased.
The emperor personally bestowed the posthumous title on Dugu Yanyun. Naturally, there was no need to draft or discuss the posthumous title. It was submitted directly to Taichang Temple. The Ministry of Rites was responsible for writing the posthumous text and preparing the posthumous book.
"As a posthumous gift to Dugu Yanyun, the governor of Youzhou gave it to the Duke of Yan, and ordered his son Dugu to plot an attack on the Duke of Liyang County. He also gave a favor to attack half of the real title, and gave Yu Bao the Ban Sword to advocate for one day..."
This is not only a reward to his confidant, but also a care for the noble generals of Guanlong.
Although the army was defeated, Li Shimin didn't want to pursue it too much, so he just let the coffin be settled.
The wind on the sea pool was calm and a bit muggy.
Li Shimin was silent.
As if in a trance.
After a long time, he said, "Many people have impeached Wu Huaiyu recently."
Several of the emperor's confidants did not speak, waiting for the emperor to continue. In fact, among the many people the emperor mentioned recently, there was Hou Junji. He had indeed impeached Wu Huaiyu a lot recently, and even accused Wu Huaiyu in many public occasions, saying that it was all
Because he deliberately provoked border provocations, forced Beishan to rebel against Hu, and then asked Dugu Yanyun, who had just arrived in Youzhou and did not understand the terrain of Yanbei, to lead the troops, resulting in the loss of troops and generals.
Under his instruction, Yushitai also frequently slapped Wu Huaiyu with impeachment seals.
But what he didn't expect was that the Crown Prince actually called Hou Junji outside the palace and argued with him for a while after attending the court meeting a few days ago to listen to political studies. He said that Wu Huaiyu had merits and demerits, and that Hou Junji, as the chief of Lantai,
But it was suspected of random attacks.
Hou Junji also didn't expect that the Crown Prince would tell him this in the corridor of the Golden Palace when the dynasty was over, and even attracted many ministers to stop. Finally, he let the emperor know and specially called them for questioning.
Hou Junji was a censor and a prime minister, but he did not want to offend the prince and did not dare to offend him.
So these days, Hou Junji has become much more honest.
The emperor paused and glanced at Hou Junji.
"I have learned the details of the battle at Dashigou in the Northern Expedition at Shanxi from all aspects. This incident was indeed caused by Dugu Yanyun underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly and not listening to General Wu Huaiyu's orders. Wu Huaiyu issued thirteen military orders in a row.
They told him to stop, but he didn't listen. Instead, he accelerated his march and got away from the main force. He was deceived by Shan Xi's thirteen consecutive defeats and lost all vigilance. In the end, he was led into Dashigou and his entire army was annihilated.
I am very heartbroken,"
"This matter has nothing to do with Wu Huaiyu," the emperor concluded.
Hou Junji couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Wu Huaiyu was the general in charge of the Northern Expedition. At that time, our Tang army attacked in five directions. Dugu Yanyun followed Wu Huaiyu all the way. In his camp, Dugu Yanyun was the general manager and was able to take away five thousand people.
He could not stop the troops and horses, and eventually the whole army was annihilated. Wu Huaiyu has an unshirkable responsibility."
The emperor glanced at him.
"Dugu Yanyun insisted on going his own way. Wu Huaiyu stopped him and chased him."
"That's also my responsibility." Hou Junji also became frustrated.
"Xuanling?"
"The entire army of five thousand soldiers and horses was wiped out. Dugu Yanyun bears the main responsibility, and Wu Huaiyu did indeed neglect his duties."
Changsun Wuji also agreed at this time, "I do have a responsibility."
A great general died, a real hero was killed, and five thousand soldiers and horses were wiped out. Of course, Wu Huaiyu was responsible, but Wu Huaiyu's responsibility was also limited. Everyone knew in their hearts.
Whether this kind of thing is big or small depends on how the emperor ultimately wants to deal with it.
Just like the Battle of Taigu in the Seventh Year of Wude, the 70,000 Tang army was wiped out, and the commander Zhang Jin escaped alone. Afterwards, the emperor did not pursue much investigation, and even appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the 12th Guanzhong Army.
As for the captured marching commander Shi and Zhongshu Shilang Wen Yanbo, they quickly paid homage to the prime minister even after being ransomed.
Wu Huaiyu and Dugu Yanyun were both the emperor's confidants,
To be honest, Wu Huaiyu's status in the emperor's heart was probably higher than that of Dugu Yanyun. The Dugu family was one of the core families of the Guanlong nobles, but the Wu family was now the most popular upstart in the Tang Dynasty.
Both of them were relatives of the emperor, but Wu Huaiyu was higher than Dugu Yanyun in terms of official position and title. Moreover, Dugu Yanyun was defeated and died, and the entire army was wiped out. However, Wu Huaiyu won the battle of Northern Expedition to Mountain Xi, and also defeated Dugu Yanyun.
The victory was brilliant, the territory was expanded for hundreds of miles, and more than 100,000 people were captured and killed.
It eliminated a huge threat to the Northeast of the Tang Dynasty and ensured the stability of Youyan for twenty to thirty years.
"Your Majesty, Wu Huaiyu holds many positions and cannot take care of them at all," Hou Junji added again,
After a long time.
Li Shimin took action.
Wu Huaiyu conquered the mountains in the north and was rewarded with meritorious service. He was appointed as the official inspector of the Ministry of War, and was awarded ten horses, a hundred slaves, and a thousand acres of land.
Because Dugu Yanyun and other five thousand soldiers died in battle, he was fined twenty kilograms of copper.
Wu Huaiyu's official position was also adjusted.
Li Min, the sixth son of the emperor, was granted the title of King of Yan and took charge of the governorship of Youzhou. Wu Huaiyu was changed to Chief Shi of the governorship of Youzhou and went out to pastor on his behalf.
Yingzhou was reestablished as the Governor's Mansion, and the area east of Bailangshui in Yingzhou was divided. Liaozhou was reestablished and placed under the jurisdiction of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion.
In the newly acquired Beishan Xihu Land, Luanhe River Valley, Puhe River Valley and other places, the three prefectures of Wei, Chang and Chong were established, under the jurisdiction of the Yingzhou Dudufu.
Yingzhou Dudu Prefecture Dudu Ying, Liao, Wei, Chang, Chong five prefectures, Cheng Yaojin served as Yingzhou Dudu Prefecture and Andong Dudu Dudu, and also in charge of the Khitan tribe of Songmo Dudu Prefecture.
The Yanzhou in Youzhou Dudufu was changed to Guizhou, and Yanzhou was newly established in Baihe, Chaohe and other places in Shanbei.
The governor-general of Youzhou, the governor-general Youyan Guitan Jiping six prefectures, and the five prefectures of Yimo Yingcang camp are no longer under the command of Youfu.
Wu Huaiyu was changed to the governor of Youzhou, governor of Youzhou and military envoy.
Su Lie was still the Sima of Youfu, the governor of Guizhou, and the military envoy of Qingyi.
Wei Xiaojie was the governor of Tiaoying Prefecture, the governor of Andong, and the governor of Liaozhou.
Li Mengchang was appointed deputy governor of the Andong Protectorate and governor of Weizhou, and governed Chengde.
Xue Wanshu was appointed governor of Jizhou and military envoy to Jingsai.
This result came out, somewhat unexpectedly, but also seems reasonable.
Wu Huaiyu's reward was not very high. The so-called ten horses, slaves, a hundred households, and a thousand acres of land were not worth mentioning at all. The additional reward of inspecting and inspecting the Minister of War was of some importance.
However, the emperor asked his son Li Min, who was only a few years old, to appoint King Yan Yao as the governor of Youzhou, and asked Wu Huaiyu to be appointed as the chief governor. Although he still presided over the affairs of the governor's office, the chief governor was only from the third rank, while the chief governor was from the second rank.
,
In addition, Yingzhou was separated from the Dudu Mansion to establish the Dudu Mansion, and Cheng Yaojin, the governor of Yingzhou, also served as the governor of Andong, Shi Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Yingzhou governor, also served as the governor of Weizhou, and the deputy governor of Weizhou also served as the governor of Weizhou.
In fact, the Anton Governor's Palace has nothing to do with the Youzhou Governor's Palace, but is closely linked to the Yingzhou Governor's Palace.
The imperial court sent two more generals to the northeast. One was Li Mengchang, one of the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect, who succeeded Dugu Yanyun as deputy governor.
Another Xue Wanshu, the eldest brother of Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, the right-leading general, Duke Liang, who came to Youzhou to be the governor of Jizhou must also have deep meaning.
Wu Huaiyu was no longer the Grand Governor, nor the Protector-General.
However, the emperor added that Raole Dudufu and Anbei Dudufu were jointly supervised by Youzhou Dudufu.
In terms of Sanbo affairs, the Anton Protectorate has the highest authority.
Hou Junji was quite unconvinced.
A fine of only twenty kilograms of copper is what kind of punishment?
But the emperor no longer wanted to talk about it,
The emperor stood up and let the dragon boat dock. Today's proceedings were concluded.
"Actually, Duke Yi was wronged this time. He obviously made great contributions, but because of Dugu Yanyun, in the end, he became the governor of the country and became the governor of Changshi. He also exempted Anton from the part-time job of the governor.
The number of soldiers on hand suddenly decreased by 20,000." When leaving the Forbidden Garden, Zhang Liang smiled and advised Hou Junji not to hold on to him any longer.
"For the lives of five thousand soldiers, the fine is twenty catties of copper?"
"It's not entirely Wu Huaiyu's fault. If you continue to hold on like this, could it be that you want to change places with Wu Huaiyu. He will stay in the political affairs hall as the prime minister, and you will go to Youzhou to become a long history?" Zhang Liang chuckled.
Hou Junji was startled for a moment, then shut up.
If he really wanted to change it, he wouldn't want to.
"Since Your Majesty has made a decision on this matter, let's follow his will." Zhang Liang reminded this man.
Hou Junji approached Zhang Liang and asked in a low voice, "You six doors really didn't find out anything wrong with Dugu Yanyun's death?"
"I have long ceased to care about the affairs of the Criminal Division. Now I am the palace supervisor, in charge of the affairs of the palace province."
"Oh, yes, there seems to be a newly built Imperial City Division in your palace, right? It seems to take care of these things. Do you have any inside information? I don't believe it is such a coincidence. Dugu Yanyun has just been sent to Youzhou by the saint, and he also
Within a month, he died in battle and his entire army was wiped out. It’s such a coincidence that I don’t believe it.”
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I believe it, and so do the saints."
