Article 857 Dissension
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ”
"Huh? How? Speaking of which? ”
Li Yuanzheng was secretly sad, and was suddenly awakened by a call from the hall, and quickly sat up straight, looking at the person who was talking below.
"Your Majesty, the minister has just started, and the prince should return to Beijing in a few days, how should this greeting etiquette be handled? Conducted in a variety of specifications? ”
Li Ying of the Ministry of Rites saw that Li Yuan had just been distracted and didn't seem to listen to what he said, so he gave his hand again and repeated the words again.
The major events of the country are in Rong!
According to the convention, as long as the soldiers go out and return triumphantly.
It is up to their ceremonial department to formulate the corresponding etiquette specifications for welcoming and rewarding according to the merits and achievements of this battle.
When the previous soldiers returned to Beijing, they all made specifications, asked Li Yuan to review them, and then implemented them.
Only this time the prince went on the expedition, but their Ministry of Rites hesitated again and again, and they didn't dare to make up their own minds.
Because, this time Li Jiancheng led the troops to attack Liu Heimin, although it was a vigorous scene, but in fact, it was really not a big battle!
Prior to this, whether it was Li Shimin, who had more than 100,000 horsemen, or Li Jing, who had destroyed the southern countries one after another.
In terms of merit, it is countless higher than Li Jiancheng this time!
With such a comparison between these two people, when Li Jiancheng returned, he could only mix a medium-sized ceremony at most.
Don't underestimate the gap in this specification, for some people, it's no less than a world of difference!
The people of the Ministry of Rites are not stupid!
Who is Li Jiancheng? It's the crown prince of the Tang Empire! And it is very likely that he will be the emperor of the future Tang Dynasty!
This time he led the troops, and it was the only time he led the troops in recent years!
If his own etiquette department really follows the rules, makes a silent welcome ceremony, and is hated by him, and comes to settle accounts after the autumn, won't he be rubbed over and rubbed in the past when the time comes?
"The Prince's specs?"
After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Yuan obviously thought of these things as well.
However, what he wanted was that the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands were full of meat, and he was unwilling to favor one over the other, let alone break the rare balance between the two.
"This, according to the original specifications of the people! Anyway, this battle is also the last piece of land in the world for my Datang! ”
Glancing at Li Shimin, Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and slowly said a decision that he felt could be done at both ends, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to come up with a ridiculous reason to make a footnote for this.
Li Shimin, who was under Li Yuan's head, couldn't see any expression on his face, and when he heard this, he just arched his hand as usual, indicating that he had no opinion.
"That's what the minister is going to do?"
Li Yuan's eyes have been staring at Li Shimin since Li Yuan spoke! Seeing that he had no objections, my heart was overjoyed! Just as he was about to receive the order to retreat, unexpectedly, at this moment, an official of Dali Temple wearing a six-grade official uniform stood up.
"Your Majesty! I think it's inappropriate! ”
In everyone's surprised eyes, the official of Dali Temple, who was holding a piece of peach wood and a board, said such a sentence sonorously, and in an instant, the entire court was quiet!
The power of these words was so great that not only Li Yuan was stunned, but others, including Li Shimin, were stunned!
There were even many officials who were a little far away, and they did not hesitate to stand on tiptoe to look there, wondering who had the audacity to openly question the emperor's decision!
"Who is this man?"
Xiao Han happened to be asleep at this time, and when he heard the voice, he also curiously followed the others to get up and look at the middle of the court.
It's just that he is too far away from that person here, and he can only vaguely see that this person's figure seems to be a little thin.
"Hehe, Master Hou, I know, this is the Dai Xuan of the Criminal Department"
A green-robed official next to him heard Xiao Han's words to himself, and hurriedly came up to please Xiao Han to explain to him.
"Dai Xuan? Dali Temple is positive! Xiao Han scratched his head, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he suddenly remembered the name.
This person is none other than Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian of the Song Dynasty, the famous iron-faced Dai Xuan is also!
is fair and strict, iron-faced and selfless, and insists on ruling the country by law, so that Li Shimin has nothing to say several times, and he can definitely be regarded as the second ruthless person except Wei Zheng!
Xiao Han has always thought: This person will also live in the light of Li Shimin, if there is another emperor, such as Yang Guang, it will be guaranteed that there are not a few bones left.
"Master Hou, is he Dali Temple? He is now a Dali Temple! The green-robed official looked at Xiao Han and bowed his head silently, thinking that he was thinking about Dai Guan's identity, and hurriedly said to him with a smile, while saying, he didn't forget to stand on tiptoe to watch the excitement.
Xiao Han raised his head, glanced at the green-robed official, and then nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.
Of course, he wouldn't tell the guy in front of him who was a little gloating:
Don't look at your current official uniform, the position is equivalent, but in a few years, that person will be promoted to the rank of third-grade master! Re-elected to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the rank will throw you away from 108,000 miles.
"Ahem, what do you think is wrong?"
While Xiao Han was thinking wildly, Li Yuan had also come back to his senses and looked at Dai Xuan with an unhappy face.
The emaciated Dai Xuan ignored the eyes of Li Yuan and the people around him, and still straightened his waist and said: "The minister thinks that although the prince has merit, his merit is far inferior to that of King Qin, how can he be regarded with King Qin this time?" ”
"Hiss......"
As soon as Dai Xuan said this, there was another uproar in the court!
They knew that it would not be easy for Dai Zhou to stand up, but they never expected him to be so straightforward!
What did he mean by that? Isn't this just saying that the emperor favors the prince and slaps him in the face naked?
Sure enough, after hearing what Dai Xuan said, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth on the dragon chair twitched fiercely.
Fortunately, the city government of the emperor in the past two years is deep enough, otherwise, he would have dragged this daring man out and killed him directly!
"Bold, the minister of the last little, and dare to speak of the prince's merits?"
Li Yuan didn't speak with a gloomy face, and a fifth-grade official in a red robe jumped out first, and pointed at Dai Xuan and shouted.
Dai Xuan slowly turned his head to look at this person, and a pair of sharp eyes seemed to shine out: "What am I bold? This court is the court of the Tang Dynasty! As long as you think about Datang, ordinary people can also speak freely! Could it be that when does this court still have a rule that we are not allowed to speak?! ”
"You ......"
The person who jumped out was shocked by Dai Guan's momentum, and the whole person took a step back, perhaps because he felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, pointed at Dai Zhou and said, "You secretly change the concept!" I mean that the prince is fighting for life and death outside, but you are safe and easy here, what kind of face do you have to evaluate meritorious people? ”
Looking at the fingers that almost poked his nose, Dai Xuan smiled coldly: "Oh? What do you mean, the prince is fighting outside for the country and the people, and I am here to eat a vegetarian meal? Then there are no Gonggong princes in the court who lead troops to fight, all of them are wine bags and rice bags? ”
