Soon, the eastern sky lit up, the Chengtian Gate slowly opened, and the ministers of civil and military affairs lined up in two rows, and soon, entered the majestic Taiji Palace, this time Li Shimin seemed to be a little anxious, and as soon as the ministers entered the palace and stood still, Xu Lian shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Li Shimin walked from the apse into the hall with square steps, and the two palace ladies behind him played palace fans, after Li Shimin entered the throne, the palace ladies retreated, the ministers bowed, and the mountains shouted long live.

Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said happily: "Zhu Qing is exempt from courtesy. The ministers straightened up one after another, and then stood in four rows, two rows of civil ministers and two rows of military generals.

Li Shimin was in a very good mood today, and said with a smile on his face: "Today's court meeting, not for other things, today I will reward the meritorious deeds, and reward the soldiers who fought for the country." ”

The ministers exchanged glances one after another when they heard this, especially the eldest grandson Wuji, who kept making glances at Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling pretended not to see it, and finally closed his eyes silently, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned when he saw this, the two of them have used eye contact for so many years, Fang Xuanling closed his eyes for the first time, the meaning is obvious, don't accept any signal from you, just like turning off your mobile phone, ignore you.

Why did the ministers oppose Li Shimin's reward of Li Hao so much this time, is it really because Li Hao has too many enemies, this is actually only part of the reason, the most important reason is that the eldest grandson Wuji united those gate valve families to make trouble, the eldest grandson Wuji was originally a figure with hands and eyes, and he didn't dare to say that he covered the sky with one hand above the court, but he was also calling for wind and rain, what kind of people did he want to get, and he couldn't get it, plus there were many people in those gate valve families who were high and powerful in the court, and with their help, this time they wanted to suppress Li Hao's reward, It's really not a difficult thing for the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Hao is currently the third grade of the imperial court, Pei Jinyu bag, it stands to reason that he should stand in the front row of the team, but he deliberately stood back more than a dozen, standing with Ma Zhou, Li Hao is very interesting, he is a civil and military merger, Wen is a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, Wu is a general of Guide, so he is very casual every time he stands in line at the court meeting, today I see that the generals are very handsome, well, stand on the side of the generals, tomorrow it is more pleasing to see the civil officials, just stand on the side of the civil officials, look at the entire court, no one dares to be more casual than him in the Taiji Palace.

However, when Li Hao went to court, he was on the side of civil officials in most cases, because the generals liked to practice martial arts, and there was nothing wrong with this, but they didn't take a bath after practicing martial arts, and their stinky sweat dried naturally, and the smell was ...... Tut-tut...... It's very sour.

Li Hao didn't have time to eat breakfast today, so he brought a lot of delicious pastries with a small cloth bag, and now it was breakfast time, and he was also hungry, so he hid behind Ma Zhou and secretly took out the pastries and stuffed them into his mouth, his eyes gurgling around, for fear of being discovered by others.

Li Shimin kept talking on the throne, telling how Su Dingfang, Li Hao and Xue Rengui bravely resisted the enemy in the border of the Tang Dynasty, how to kill the Quartet, how to expand the stiffness for thousands of miles, how to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao ate hard below, his mouth was bulging, he regretted it very much at the moment, why did he forget to bring water, a little choking.

Li Shimin finally finished telling their exploits, and then began to reward Su Dingfang, then Xue Rengui, then Ma Zhou and a series of supervisors, as well as Guo Xiaoke, the protector of the Anxi Prefecture, Li Shimin discussed these rewards with the ministers, and there was no objection.

Su Dingfang's reward is relatively simple, because although Su Dingfang is the commander of the army, but his contribution is not great, the result of the reward is to add 300 households, award the pillar country, and be awarded the general of the Erpin Town Army, rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and 1,000 horses.

Xue Rengui's contribution this time is not small, sneak attack on the Tubo grain and grass camp, defeated Xue Yantuo and the Hui army, and also destroyed the Qiuzi country, three merits and rewards, the reward is naturally very high, Jin Jue Jingyang County Bo, 500 households in the real food city, the fourth rank of the loyal general, the award of the fifth grade of the cavalry captain, the leadership of the left and right Tunwei generals, the reward of gold thousand taels, silk horses, the sweat and blood of a horse, and the seal of his wife Liu's three products.

As for Ma Zhou, he basically has no credit this time, but there is hard work without merit, go to a place like the frontier, as long as he wins the battle, even if he is a bastard, there is a reward for the size, and Li Shimin still attaches great importance to Ma Zhou, and the reward given to Ma Zhou is not low, and he is given a silver Qingguanglu doctor.

A series of people have been sealed, but there is no Li Hao, the ministers are very satisfied, and the eldest grandson Wuji is also relieved, and Li Hao is still hiding behind Ma Zhou to eat pastries, eating happily, anyway, he has long known that this reward has nothing to do with him, so don't worry about it.

And at this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is one less person to reward!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, what is Wei Zheng going to do! You're going to be a-stirring stick again?

Li Shimin saw Wei Zheng suddenly jump out, that happy, oops, when did this Tian Sheweng become so cute, although he was happy, but it was not easy to show it, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh?" Who is missing? ”

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Hou Li Hao of Lantian County! ”

"Sure enough!" Everyone shouted in their hearts, Wei Zheng, a stunned young man, was going to give Li Hao a head.

In the eyes of the ministers, Li Hao saved Wei Zheng's life, and it was normal for Wei Zheng to stand up for Li Hao, but they were very disappointed that Wei Zheng, who had always been fair and selfless, actually favored Li Hao this time.

Li Hao was eating happily, and when he heard Wei Zheng call his name, he was so frightened that he choked and beat his chest hard, so uncomfortable.

Li Shimin was secretly happy when he heard Wei Zheng's words, but he pretended to be very distressed and said: "Li Hao's reward, I have discussed it with Zhu Qing three times, but Zhu Qing is against it, so Li Hao's reward has not been decided for the time being. ”

Wei Zheng asked, "It must be that the reward given by His Majesty is not very appropriate." ”

Li Shimin said seriously: "I am rewarded according to merit, in this war, Li Hao is the first to make meritorious contributions, and I give him the reward of the Duke of Lantian County, the commander of the military department, the award of the Zhuguo, the general Huaihua, and the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and the side room of the main room is the same as the second grade, such a reward, Wei Qing can feel appropriate?" ”

Wei Zheng arched his hand and said, "The minister thinks it's very appropriate." ”

For the first time in history, Wei Zheng stood with Li Shimin at the court meeting, and Li Shimin was so happy.

However, Cen Wenwen said when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, Li Hao is now twenty-four years old, if he has been crowned a prince at this age, awarded the Pillar State, and his official positions are all in the third grade, in a few years, Li Hao has made new contributions, how will Your Majesty reward him?" ”

"That's true!" Chu Suiliang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although the court's reward has its own law, it is also due to discretion, Li Hao is too young to do this generous reward, and should be considered in the long run." ”

"The minister seconded the ......"

"The minister seconded the ......"

……

There were more than 20 ministers in a row who jumped out to oppose it, and they seemed to have a point, even if Wei Zheng thought that he was in possession of the righteousness, he who had always been invincible in debate actually felt powerless.

Seeing Wei Zheng frowning, Li Shimin also frowned slowly, alas, it seems that Wei Zheng can't compete with them, yes, Wei Zheng is just one person, how can he win them......

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin sighed secretly and let out a long breath: "Where is the poetry madness?" ”

Li Hao is still eating.

Li Shimin shouted, and Li Hao was startled again, so much so that he ...... He choked again.

Ma Zhou saw that Li Hao hadn't been out of the queue for a long time, turned his head slightly and turned his head to look behind, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Hao's round eyes, which startled him, and then he found that Li Hao's mouth was bulging, and he was still beating his chest quickly.

"Didn't the poet come?" Li Shimin raised his voice again.

Ma Zhou reminded anxiously: "Poetry madness, Your Majesty called you." ”

Li Hao was helpless, although he choked uncomfortably, he couldn't hang Li Shimin, so he could only beat his chest while going out of the queue, wanting to reply, his mouth was stuffed with things, and he couldn't speak, so he could only stand in the heart of the palace and continue to beat his chest.

"Huh?" Li Shimin was a little stunned for a while when he saw Li Hao's strange appearance, frowned and asked, "Poet maniac, ...... you are?"

Li Hao gestured with his hand, Li Shimin was very smart, and immediately understood what he meant, knowing that he was choking on eating, and hurriedly said: "Ma Zhou, quickly help him pat his back." ”

"Yes." Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Li Hao's back.

The ministers looked at each other, Li Hao actually dared to eat secretly during the court meeting, and he choked on it, this is not enough, the emperor has a few meanings, not only did he not blame, but also asked Ma Zhou to beat his back, what kind of trouble is this?

Li Shimin's idea is actually very simple, the current Li Hao is not only a great hero in his eyes, but also a wronged child, who was bullied by a group of court ministers, what he can do is to protect Li Hao, he just wants to protect Li Hao.

Ma Zhou was beating Li Hao's back, only to see an old figure suddenly come out, it was Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda said angrily: "Your Majesty, Li Hao's son dared to steal food in the Taiji Hall in the early dynasty, it is simply a kingless French discipline, what kind of system!" Please punish Your Majesty severely to set an example. ”

Chu Suiliang followed: "The minister seconded the proposal, Li Hao is bold, and I hope that His Majesty will severely punish him and set an example!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

……

Finally caught Li Hao's mistake, how could they let it go, for a while, the ministers seconded the proposal, and Li Shimin's two eyebrows were twisted.

Finally, Li Hao finally relieved his breath, swallowed the food in his mouth, he bowed his hand to Ma Zhou and thanked him, and then turned to Li Shimin and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

Li Shimin spread his hands when he heard this: "What does the poet madness say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Li Hao said: "The minister came to participate in the morning dynasty today, but he left too early and didn't have time to have breakfast. ”

Kong Yingda glared at him when he heard this: "Do you think that you are the only one who has not eaten breakfast, most of the colleagues present have not eaten breakfast!" ”

Li Hao shook his head and said seriously: "You don't know about Kong Sacrificial Wine, if you have stomach problems and don't eat breakfast on time...... will die. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent, and almost a needle could be heard, and everyone looked at Li Hao in surprise, why was they surprised, because this sound sounded more false than a lie, they had seen nonsense, but they had never seen such a serious nonsense, how thick this cheek was.
