Chapter 1152: More than fifty generals, lieutenant generals, and lieutenants
1152. More than fifty generals, lieutenant generals, and lieutenants
After all, Li Li is the lord of a country, and now he has surrendered, if he is too harsh, it would be bad, but then Li Pojun looked at the fifty or sixty Turkic generals and was not so tolerant.
Among these people, Li Pojun also knows a stubborn and Ashina Simo, these two people are talented, and they are also loyal to the Tang Dynasty in history, performing meritorious deeds, and other people Li Pojun does not know, Ashina Sheer is a talent, and almost wiped out Li Pojun in Chongchuan Valley, and Ashina Sheer was desperate after the Tang Dynasty in history, Li Shimin also took the initiative to ask for a martyrdom after his death, and he was indeed a loyal and righteous general, but he was killed on the spot by the angry Li Daozong.
And Li Pojun still remembers that not long after the destruction of the Eastern Turks in history, Li Shimin went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, and ordered a Turkic general to escort him, and the guard turned out to be a direct mutiny to assassinate Li Shimin, Li Shimin hid in Jiucheng Palace and waited for help before he was saved, Li Pojun remembered this incident, but he didn't remember the name of that person, and he made up his mind not to let this group of generals get better.
After rewarding Lili, Li Shimin transferred Lili's nephew Tuli from the general of the right guard to the governor of Shunzhou, and crowned the king of Beiping County.
You must know that Shunzhou is an important town in the north, and the governor of Shunzhou has jurisdiction over the military and political affairs of several important military cities in the north, this is a frontier official, and there is also a prince of Beiping County, Li Shimin is really kind to Tuli, Li Pojun opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but when he saw dozens of Turkic people in the palace, he kept his mouth shut, and it may not be useful to block it now, and it is also a kind of Turkic surrender, and Tuli has nothing to do, Li Pojun still knows something about the Turks, this person admires Han culture, wears Hanfu and speaks Chinese, As early as a few years ago, he took the initiative to submit a book and attached it, and he has always been very kind to Datang.
Next, Feng Zhi lost his thinking as the general of the left leading army, Ashina Simo as the general of the right Wuhou, Ashina Zhong as the general of the left tunwei, etc., these are all people from the Turkic royal family Ashina family, and they also have some talents, Li Pojun is relatively indifferent, but when the official arrives at the back, Li Pojun is not calm, his eyes are full of surprise, it is too real, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, who would have believed that the Tang Emperor was so generous, and the fifty-seven Eastern Turkic generals were all named generals, Zhonglang generals and Duwei and other middle and high-level generals, The lowest lieutenant is a five-rank official, how can Li Pojun be calm, after all, he clearly remembers the rebellion of the Turkic tribes for many years, and the nomads have always respected the strong, but they will not remember the emperor's grace. And how talented my brother Xue Rengui is is still a five-rank captain, regardless of his talents, you enemies who have been captured and surrendered have become officials above the fifth rank as soon as they come, don't think about it!
After Wang Jingzhong announced the decree loudly, before the Turkic generals could thank him, Li Pojun jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have objections."
The hall was stunned, looking at Li Pojun, not knowing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to do, Li Shimin was also slightly surprised, but he was in a good mood, and he also valued Li Pojun's ideas, and he also smiled and said: "If the prince has any objections, just say it."
"Your Majesty, you must not reward the Turkic generals so lavishly, this move will chill the hearts of all the soldiers. The Eastern Turks did not take the initiative to join them, but the results of the battle that our Tang Dynasty used more than 100,000 troops, suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and spent countless amounts of money and property. Although he has surrendered, my Datang is already benevolent and virtuous around his life, so why do I promise to be a high-ranking official. Si Li Simo and others are all great talents, can be of great use, but these people in the hall with different minds and unfamiliar faces, who can guarantee their talents, if they have no talents, they will suddenly be in a high position, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced, and the ministers suggest that they be scattered and sent to the armies, starting from the gang commander, it is gold that will always shine, and those who have talents can be promoted, not like this, just need to report a name is to suddenly occupy a high position in my Tang Dynasty military."
Li Pojun mercilessly pointed at the stunned Turkic generals and shouted.
The hall was in an uproar, including Wei Zheng was also stunned, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been very good to the Turkic generals earlier, was so strict at this time, Wei Zheng was suddenly relieved, Wei Zheng was a secretary of the ministry, and the appointment of Turkic officials was to go through his hands, Wei Zheng was unhappy when he saw the list and official positions drawn up by the political affairs hall, so many Hu generals suddenly occupied high positions, and they were not afraid that Han and Hu would be inverted, and the harm would be endless, and now it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had this consensus. Wei Zheng suddenly felt happy in his heart.
Although Li Pojun's words were a little vague, but the officials in the court were all human spirits, and they also understood the meaning, and it was indeed a little inappropriate for many Hu people to suddenly occupy a high position in the imperial court, especially some officials who had boiled up their qualifications and were promoted by merit were even more unconvinced, why did they study the sage books hard, and they were only qualified to enter the Taiji Hall after decades of service, but those Hu generals who did not know Chinese characters and did not understand the scriptures and history were defeated and surrendered, and they were on an equal footing with themselves as soon as they came, even older than their own officials, so no one could not be angry.
Above the court, there were bursts of discussion, Li Pojun looked at Li Shimin, found that Li Shimin was expressionless, and found that Li Pojun was looking at himself, Li Shimin also shook his head slightly, as if he was saying that he had another purpose, Li Pojun was a little stunned.
At this time, Wen Yanbo twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The prince's words are fallacious, since the Turkic generals have been attached to the Tang Dynasty, they are the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they should be treated equally." The official positions on the list are determined by the government hall in conjunction with their Turkic official positions and previous merits, and if His Highness has any objections, he can raise them."
Li Pojun was angry when he heard it, and it was this old man again, in Li Pojun's opinion, this old man may have talent, but he has a lot of bad ideas, and he scattered the Turkic people in the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Pojun still feels nonsense. And now you still talk to me, despite the objections? Lao Tzu doesn't know these more than 50 Turkic generals, and he doesn't understand them, how to raise objections, if I wait for me to investigate and then raise objections, according to the administrative efficiency of the Tang Dynasty, these people have already been posted, and they can take back their lives, the daylilies are cold, and there is a fart objection.
Before Li Pojun could speak, at this time, some of those Turkic generals came out with their heads held high, and said with a rebellious face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, we are all warriors of the Great Turks, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any objections to my ability, just raise it." The words were faintly provocative.
Someone in the court suddenly frowned and displeased, the prince of the Tang Dynasty had a conversation with the prime minister Zhongshuling, what are you talking about a Turkic general, it is really Yidi.
"What's your name? What is your position? Li Pojun raised his eyebrows, and walked towards the Turkic general with a harmless and curious smile.
Fang Du and the others were in a heartbeat, it's over, this person is going to be unlucky.
