Li Yuan pondered for a while and finally ordered Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda. Among the ministers and assistants, Pei Ji and Pei Shiju were attached to the East Palace, Feng Lun was also the Sima of Tiance Mansion, Xiao Yu, Yang Gongren and Chen Shuda were neutral. Among them, Chen Shuda and Li Shan were the best friends.
Prince Li Jiancheng suddenly interjected: "Even if it is difficult to give a reward this time, why not reward his parents generously?"
Li Shimin turned his head and glanced, his eyes collided with Pei Shiju's. The former had a funny look in his eyes, while the latter pursed his lips... Anyway, Li Shan declared that his father died young, and it was recorded as such in the Chang'an County Yamen register.
.
Even if people are dead, they can still be rewarded generously...it's a posthumous title.
Yang Gongren added: "Your Majesty, could you please extend a favor to the Cui family of Qinghe?"
Li Yuan was stunned, laughed and nodded, Xiao Yu also agreed: "Although Huairen was conferred as a county prince, he is engaged to the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe after all. It is the right time for His Majesty to show favor to the Cui family."
To put it bluntly, Yang Gongren proposed that Li Yuan support Li Shan. The gift list sent by the Li family was generous enough and contained many rare treasures the day before yesterday. However, it was also despised by a few people... mainly the Cui clan of Qinghe.
It was Cui Hao and a few others who didn't get along well with Li Shan.
Why disdain?
The Cui family of Qinghe is a well-known family, and they don't care about treasures... In this kind of marriage between aristocratic families, the most important thing in the gift list is books.
For hundreds of years from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, the world has fallen into disarray, and the importance of books in the minds of scholars is unimaginable by future generations.
And the gift list sent by the Li family only contained a solitary poetry collection... In fact, outsiders didn't think it was shabby. The poetry collection was full of famous poems, but the Cui family was still a little dissatisfied.
As for Li Shan's great contribution this time, it was difficult to award him a reward. Li Yuan showed favor to the Cui family... The meaning was very clear. He was showing favor to Li Shan because of his son-in-law.
Li Yuan thought about it in his mind, and there were no other rewards. In the end, it was the female family members who gave makeup to the Cui girl. It was estimated that the Crown Princess, Princess Qin, and Pingyang would all come forward. He would just ask Concubine Wan Gui to go there when the time comes, but now
But sometimes he needed other favors... Soon, Li Yuan made up his mind to give Cui Xin a favor that the Qinghe Cui family would never refuse.
"Zicong worked hard and rewarded the generals, and it was agreed that Huairen would determine his merits." Li Yuan paused, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Huairen...his mother was granted the title of Mrs. Zheng Guo, and when she regained the three states, she was given the title of heir king.
.”
The hall was quiet for a while. This reward was actually a bit too much for Li Shan, a prince who was included in the clan.
First of all, Mrs. Zheng Guo was a concubine of the first rank, and the county prince himself was from the first rank. The Zhu family did not have this qualification. Even if Li Shan became the heir king, he was only from the first rank.
In a true first-grade dynasty, there are only Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, and the unique Tiance general of this dynasty. Of course, in terms of title, the prince is also a first-grade dynasty.
Zhu was awarded the title of Mrs. Zheng. In theory, she did not need to salute anyone except Li Yuan. The next time Princess Qi made such nonsense, Zhu slapped her a few times. It would be disrespectful at most, but not a crime.
Secondly, the title of king is added. Although the successor king is of the same rank as the county king, it is only lower than the prince but higher than the county king.
This is not the key, the key is that the heir is the son of the prince... Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Pei Shiju again, with a smile on his lips.
Well, this is about posthumously conferring the title of prince to Li Shan’s father!
Pei Shiju couldn't hold it any longer. What's the matter?
Prince Li Jiancheng broke the silence, "Father, after hearing about the discussion of merits after the war, Ningzhou Governor Hu Yan thought Huairen was unfair..."
Li Shimin, who was opposite him, had an expressionless face, but he was thinking in his heart that the prince had not made any mistakes for so many years before. Although he was embarrassed, he was still safe, but he had made mistakes repeatedly in the past six months. Is there any other reason?
The prime ministers and assistants just listened silently, listening to Li Jiancheng's speech... He told Li Shan that Su Dingfang had made great contributions, and Zhang Zhongjian was ranked second.
Li Yuan rubbed his brows and thought for a while before finding a reason to reprimand, "You live in Chang'an, do you know the merits of the generals better than the generals who have personally experienced the war?"
Li Jiancheng was heartbroken and felt inexplicable. He was saying good things to Li Shan, but why did his father reprimand him?
Pei Shiju later felt that this was a good phenomenon, at least for him. The prince was a bit stupid!
Although they have definitely not communicated with each other, this is a tacit understanding between Li Shan and Li Yuan, and even with the court. Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian were both Li Shan's personal guards. Now one is a general of the Sixteenth Guards and the other is a general of the Sixteenth Guards.
Already in a high position.
And Li Shan himself knew very well that this victory would make it a difficult problem to award rewards. According to the previous practice of defeating the Turks three times and rescuing them from Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuan distributed the credit to his direct relatives, such as Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, Hou Hongtao and others.
They were all knighted for this.
Li Shan deliberately ranked these two people as second-class, revealing his feelings to Li Yuan and the ministers in the court. There is no doubt that Li Yuan knew it, and the ministers also knew it, but the prince failed to see through it.
Pei Shiju glanced at Li Shimin. King Qin should also know about this, but he didn't say anything. He obviously saw through it.
How kings and ministers get along has always been very technically difficult... Pei Shiju couldn't help but secretly wonder where he learned these little tricks, and he used them just right.
Everyone exited the Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan sat at the top, looking at the back of the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, his brows couldn't help but frown. After the battle at Tiantai Mountain, the Crown Prince used to be pleasing to the eye, but now he is so annoying.
When Li Huairen gave his soldiers meat, they all knew to ask for help from the inner treasury, but Dalang took the initiative to ask for help.
Li Huairen knew that he suppressed Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian on his own, but Dalang wanted to take credit for them.
Although he had known for a long time that Dalang was far inferior to Erlang, Li Yuan suddenly discovered in recent months that the difference was not just in martial arts.
But he is the eldest son after all. It’s not that Li Yuan has deep feelings for Li Jiancheng, but that the eldest son has had a natural status since ancient times. Li Jiancheng’s current status and power were all given by Li Yuan, which also caused an embarrassing fact.
Once Li Yuan deliberately tries to save money, his own foundation may be shaken.
Li Yuan slowly walked back and forth in the Liangyi Palace, thinking that if he wanted to go to Yi Chu, Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, Zheng Shanguo and other famous ministers, would they side with me or the East Palace?
If one is not good, there will be a big chaos, if the other is not good, the world may fall apart. Li Yuan suddenly smiled, fortunately now that Huairen is here, there is no need for Erlang to lead the troops personally, otherwise the East Palace may not be able to bear it.
Indeed, the reason why Li Jiancheng repeatedly forced Li Jiancheng in history was mainly because the Turks invaded the border every year, and Li Yuan had to use Li Shimin to lead the troops. This made the prince restless, which eventually led to the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
