Li Hao just paid homage to the prime minister, it was unexpectedly smooth, so smooth that even Li Shimin was surprised, he thought that the ministers would try their best to oppose it, but he didn't expect that no one squeaked, so Li Shimin felt that the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall today was a little strange, where it was strange, he couldn't say it.

Just when Li Shimin's thoughts were surging, Li Hao suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have important matters to play, and they are here." If the word "lying groove" was popular in the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that the whole hall is full of "lying groove" sound, because Li Hao has more than one piece of music in his hand, stacked together nearly three inches high, it is estimated that there are four or five copies.

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little stunned when he saw so many performances, but he knew that what Li Hao played had never been trivial, so he hurriedly said: "Submit it!" ”

Xu Lian walked down the platform and presented Li Hao's note, Li Shimin opened the top book, and was stunned after looking at it twice, this letter was an application for the reopening of the Tiance Mansion, and he immediately opened the next book, which was to increase the shipyard and the harbor, which was to prepare for the addition of the navy.

Li Shimin has already told Li Hao about these two proposals, and Li Shimin put them forward by himself, so the resistance will be smaller, but he didn't expect Li Hao to be disobedient, but he still handed over the note, which made Li Shimin a little confused.

Li Hao handed over five letters this time, Li Shimin continued to flip down, and the content of the third letter was a request to immediately promote the new tax system to the whole country; The fourth letter is to impeach Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Impeachment, and the fifth letter is to ask for merit, for the governor of Youzhou Sun Bowang, for the Youzhou Governor Liang Ju, for the Dali Temple officials who followed Li Hao to Youzhou to investigate the case.

There is no dragon case on the platform of the Taiji Palace, there is only a dragon chair, Xu Lian serves on the side, holding a tray in his hand, and the music is all in the tray.

And every time Li Shimin reads a book, the hearts of the ministers below lift an inch, Li Hao plays five things in a row, this is obviously going to do things again, and one is five things, at the moment the eldest grandson Wuji has been silent again, no one is in charge of the overall situation, they are very passive, can they not be worried.

Li Shimin finally finished reading the five books, and this time, the order of the recitals stacked in the tray was reversed, the recitals that reopened the Tiance Mansion were pressed to the bottom, the recitals that impeached Zhang Liang were at the top, and the recitals that asked for merit were in Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin held the Gong Gong Shu, first glanced at Li Hao, and then at the other ministers, and slowly said: "Okay, Li Hao played five things in a row, today we will discuss these five things, this book in my hand is Li Hao's Gong Shu, for Youzhou Governor Sun Bowang to ask for merit, for Youzhou Zhichong Commander Liang Ju to ask for merit, for Dali Temple Cheng Di Renjie, for Dali Temple Cheng Quanyou for Merit, for Dali Temple Cheng Han Long, and for all the officers and soldiers who participated in the defense of Youzhou and died heroically in the Battle of Youzhou!" ”

Li Shimin's language was flat at the beginning, and the more he talked about it, the more excited he became, the battle of Youzhou was a bloody battle, this battle not only greatly damaged the strength of the alien races outside the Northeast Guan, but also made them lose all confidence, and carried forward the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin said this, the hall was quiet, and the needles could be heard, and the ministers didn't expect that Li Hao's first letter was actually to ask for merit, which greatly surprised them, and after the war, they were rewarded for their outstanding achievements, which is understandable, but when the palace asks for merit, it takes great merit, they didn't participate in the war, and they don't know what the merits of these people mentioned by Li Hao are, so they don't have much right to speak.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and Li Shimin spoke again: "Poet madness, tell me, what are the merits of these people?" ”

"Yes!" Li Hao bowed his hand, then shook the feather fan lightly, and said slowly, "This matter should start from the battle of Youzhou, the battle of Youzhou, which lasted two months and eight days, at the beginning, there were only 15,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there were three ethnic coalition troops outside the city, a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses, and then Goguryeo Da Mo left the branch of Suwen and unified 30,000 elite soldiers to come, and the three ethnic groups joined to form a four-ethnic coalition, a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing this, the ministers were shocked, 90,000 soldiers and horses besieged the city, and only 15,000 people defended the city, this disparity is not a little big, although they have long heard that the battle of Youzhou is a tragic battle with less to win more, but they have not heard the specific details, and now they are surprised to hear Li Hao talk about the difference in strength between the two sides.

I only heard Li Hao continue: "In the first month, the fifteen thousand soldiers and horses have been damaged to only three thousand, although Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, is not good at military affairs, but he has been silently supporting the ministers, it is he who said to move the people, let the young and strong people take the initiative to participate in temporary training, seven days to practice bows and arrows, on the city wall to resist the enemy, although the young and strong combat power is limited, but their role is absolutely not negligible, they use their own blood and life, stubbornly all the Hulu barbarians outside the city wall of Youzhou, do not allow them to step into the Tang City half a step. The last battle of the battle of Youzhou, is the barbarian army of the desperate fight, when the siege of the city, the barbarian army has 30,000 people, from the morning to the evening, the 30,000 army is only 5,000, the city wall has been occupied by them, our army is less than 1,000, at that time I Datang only left the blood Lang Ning died unyielding, have chanted 'spear forever guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty' slogan, Youzhou Chong Du Lieutenant Liang Ju killed dozens of barbarians, ten scars in the body especially unconscious, still bloody battles, the governor Sun Bowang also shouted' The slogan of the spear will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty, personally led tens of thousands of people to rush to the city, picked up everything that could be taken as weapons, and fought with the barbarian army, losing thousands of people in an instant, although the casualties were heavy, but it also shocked the barbarian army, the barbarian army was invincible, and was intimidated by the momentum of the people of our Tang Dynasty, and finally chose to retreat and flee. ”

Li Hao used concise language to describe the course of the battle of Youzhou, and the hall fell into silence again, although Li Shimin had already read the detailed military report, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, but fortunately, he was deeply determined and did not shed tears.

Although the ministers like to target Li Hao, they are not confused in terms of right and wrong, and they can't deny this bloody battle, otherwise they will be sinners of the Tang Dynasty.

After a while, Li Hao opened his mouth again to break the silence and said: "Your Majesty, this battle of Youzhou is by no means the work of one minister, I hope that Your Majesty can reward all those who participated in the war, as well as Sun Bowang, Liang Ju and other great meritorious ministers." ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Youzhou Governor Sun Bowang, Zhichong Commander Liang Ju, these two are my loyal and virtuous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and I will be rewarded, but what credit do they have for the poet madness and the officials of Dali Temple?" ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, a group of officials of Dali Temple also participated in the war, more than a dozen people went, only three people came back, among which Dali Temple Cheng Quan Dayou also lost an arm in the melee and became disabled, and Dali Temple Cheng Di Renjie was extremely smart, it was he who helped the minister to see through the Youzhou blood case, expose the real culprit, and expose the collusion of Fan Yang Lu and Wei King Li Tai to rebel, this matter involved the King of Wei, and the evidence was insufficient at that time, the minister did not make it clear in the previous report, please forgive Your Majesty. ”

"Oh......" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, "In that case, how do poets think these people should be rewarded?" ”

Li Hao held a fan and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, is good at political affairs and neglects military affairs, so he is really not suitable for the post of governor of Youzhou. Youzhou Zhichong Lieutenant Liang Ju is brave, loyal and patriotic, and is a credible and brave general. Dali Temple meritorious ministers, can be promoted by Dali Temple, in order to be of great use, the rest of the meritorious soldiers in the battle of Youzhou, with the division of rewards and reports, sacrifices, compassion for the family. ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this: "Well, this time the reward is also safe, now there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials, Sun Bowang can be transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the Servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Liang Ju is the general of the Shenwei Army, and he is awarded the title of General Xuanwei, awarded the Captain of the Martial Cavalry, and leads 5,000 elite soldiers to guard the Juyong Pass, in addition, I also have a plan, I want to build a heroic monument in Youzhou, but all those who died heroically in the battle of Youzhou, their names are engraved on the monument, to sing their aspirations, for future generations to hang, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers bowed together and chanted loudly, and Li Hao's request for merit was passed so easily.

Unexpectedly, Li Hao was still not satisfied, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister has a small request. ”

"Speak!" Li Shimin's voice was high-pitched, and he was also a little excited at the moment, after all, he was a martyr and soldier who was rewarded for national merit, and he was also a little infected by blood.

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, fighting for the country is the most glorious thing for every hot-blooded man in the Tang Dynasty, for the national meritorious, horse leather shroud, there is glory, but the most pitiful is those soldiers who lost their hands and feet in the war, although the court gave them a pension, but the rest of their lives were miserable, and even fell to the point of begging on the street because of their disabilities." ”

Li Shimin frowned slowly when he heard this, and began to ponder, what Li Hao said was a very realistic problem, this problem has existed for a long time, but it has not been solved, the imperial court has increased the pension for these people, but it is useless, because after a battle, the disabled are often more than the victims, and the imperial court's pension for the disabled is already higher than that of the victims, in their opinion, this is already very unscientific, how can they add pensions, but the court's pensions are not enough for those who are disabled, and some disabled soldiers have lost their ability to work, Become a burden to the family, eat with one more mouth, and the family is more difficult to endure than those who are sacrificed.

Li Shimin frowned for a moment and asked, "Poet madman, do you have any wonderful methods, why don't you say it and listen to it." ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, the pension money and grain can only solve the temporary difficulty, the pension farmland, if there is no strong man at home, how to plant, too much one-time pension, it will also cause a great burden to the court, why not pay the pension in installments, and the water will flow for a long time?" ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Tell me, how to pay for the pension in installments?" ”

Li Haoyu fan shook lightly, and said slowly: "This needs a lot of help from the local government, the pension official document is issued to the local government, all the disabled retired and wounded soldiers go to the local government to receive the pension, you can receive food and cloth in months, the number is calculated according to the population of the family, not too much, enough to live at home, at the same time, the court documents are sent to the states and counties, posted in the city, and all the wounded soldiers are notified to prevent corrupt officials from embezzling ink to pay for the pension, once such a phenomenon occurs, the wounded soldiers can appeal to the original service office, and go straight to the heavens! ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Okay, this method is wonderful!" Although the total number of pensions has increased, it is a long stream, poetic maniac, there is really you! ”
