Chapter 465: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds (II)

"The emperor has arrived!" With Xu Lian's chanting, Li Shimin walked out of the apse with square steps, and then sat on the dragon chair.

The ministers saluted the mountain and shouted long live.

"Zhu Qing is exempt from courtesy." Li Shimin waved his hand, glanced at the ministers in the palace, and then spoke, "Today, I and Zhuqing can still have an early dynasty here, thanks to King Qiongnan's sacrifice of King Qin, otherwise...... The current Taiji Hall is afraid that it has long been reduced to a wine field for the Tibetan barbarians. ”

The ministers were silent for a while when they heard this, and as soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, he preached Li Hao's exploits, it seems that Li Hao's reward will not be low today, and everyone is already speculating about what official position Li Hao will be promoted to this time, and what position he will receive.

Li Shimin continued: "For all the King Qin and the escort generals this time, I have prepared a holy decree for rewarding the emperor in Zhongshu Province, and if you have any objections, you can raise them in court. ”

He said that he glanced at Xu Lian, Xu Lian unfolded the holy decree and began to read: "The edict said: Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, was ordered to resist Hu Lu to the death, guarded Chang'an, sacrificed his life for the country, posthumously sealed the Duke of Jingwu, performed a state funeral, accompanied the burial of Zhaoling, and his son Li Dejian pardoned the crime and returned to Chang'an to inherit the title; Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, although he is old, is especially good at using soldiers, resisting barbarians, working hard, rewarding 1,000 taels of gold, 1,000 horses, 500 acres of fertile land, and the general of Jin Zuo Wuwei; The right Xiaowei general Peng Hai escorted the meritorious service, gave a thousand taels of gold, a thousand silk horses, 300 acres of fertile land, the title of the earl of Yunyang County, 500 households, Jin Zuo Xiaowei general, awarded the captain of the light army, Jin Zheng Sipin Zhongwu general; Jin Wuwei general Li Yuanzhong escorted meritorious, gave a thousand taels of gold, a thousand silk horses, two pairs of jade Ruyi, 500 acres of fertile land, the title of Wugong County, 500 households, Jin Jin Wuwei general, with the leader of Yulinwei general, awarded the title of protector, Jin from the three products to the German general; Xue Rengui, the commander of Yazhou Zhichong, King Qin's rescue is meritorious, brave and abnormal, specially given a golden jade belt, a righteous thin cloud crown, a yellow dragon swallowing the sky golden armor, Jiaolong stepping boots, a horse of a thousand miles of Yanlong BMW, two thousand taels of gold, two thousand horses of silk, a thousand acres of fertile land, the title of Marquis of Jingyang County, a thousand households in Shiyi, the general of the right Wuwei of Jin, awarded the title of the protector, the general of Huaihua, and his wife Liu's seal of the three products. ”

The reward of five people is just a long time, because the reward is too great, this war, Li Jing died, he gave his last life, in exchange for the opportunity to pardon for his son, his eldest son Li Dejian because of the previous relationship with Li Chengqian, implicated in Li Chengqian's rebellion, was exiled to Lingnan, and now he can finally come back.

It can be seen that Li Shimin has absolutely trusted Li Yuanzhong and handed over the responsibility of guarding the palace to Li Yuanzhong, and it is no wonder that Li Yuanzhong escorted him twice, which not only proved his strength, but also proved his loyalty.

In fact, Li Yuanzhong's reward is not as high as Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui soared to the sky this time, and was directly promoted to marquis, and now he is the general of the right Wuwei, who is the general of the left Wuwei, Qin Qiong, the left and right Wuwei and the left and right Xiaowei are the most elite combat forces in the Tang Dynasty, and the left and right Wuwei are more important than the left and right Xiaowei, and the position of the general of the right Wuwei can be said to be the top three positions in the army, so Xue Rengui's reward this time is very high.

Not only that, Li Shimin also rewarded Xue Rengui with a BMW called Qianli Yanlong, this horse Li Hao had never heard of, but the ministers knew that this was definitely a sweaty BMW that was not inferior to the lion's saddle, red as fire, with a tall skeleton, running into the wind, it was given to Li Shimin when Tuguhun pleaded for guilt last time, Li Shimin was old and rarely rode a horse, so he simply added a hero to Xue Rengui this time.

Seeing Xu Lian close the scroll of the holy decree, all the ministers were surprised, they didn't read Li Hao, they immediately thought that Li Shimin might want to reward Li Hao with a holy decree alone, this is not a good thing, Xue Rengui's reward is so high, Li Hao must be higher.

Sure enough, as expected by the ministers, Xu Lian took out another holy decree and read it aloud: "Edict, Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan County, is young and heroic, all-round in civil and military affairs, brave and loyal, wholeheartedly serving the country, adding food to thousands of households, and awarding the ...... of the Pillar Country."

As soon as the ministers heard that Zhuguo had been awarded, they immediately exclaimed, Zhuguo, that is the commander who is chasing Li Jing.

I only heard Xu Lian continue: "Jin Zheng's second rank auxiliary general, the special prince and the prince, his wife Li in the main room, and Tu in the side room, are all sealed with a first-class order. ”

Hearing this, the ministers exclaimed again, the general of the auxiliary country, the prince and the prince, this is amazing, Li Hao's current official position is completely at the level of the court boss, and then, the eldest grandson Wuji found out that something was wrong, why Li Hao did not have a title, and he could not worship the prime minister without an official, this is very strange, since Li Shimin rewarded Li Hao so much, why didn't he let him worship the prime minister directly.

For the success of Li Haoqin this time, the eldest grandson Wuji and those ministers who opposed Li Hao were very distressed, first of all, of course, they hoped that Li Hao could repel the Tubo army, after all, the safety of the country and their lives were tied together, once Chang'an fell, they could not escape death, the Tubo barbarians would not care how big their previous official position was, they would only think that their head was very good, of course, Li Shimin's head must be the best.

However, they don't want Li Hao to fight this battle too beautifully, otherwise Li Hao will make great contributions again, such a great achievement in saving the country, even if all Li Hao's previous credits are added up, it can't be compared, they still have a worry before, that is, they are afraid that Li Hao will take the opportunity to rebel, fortunately, Li Hao is still kind, and did not take the opportunity to rebel, otherwise, their group of opponents will all die.

In short, the hearts of the ministers are very complicated, they still don't like Li Hao, oppose Li Hao, even if Li Hao saved the country this time and saved them by the way, they still don't like Li Hao, don't ask the reason, you don't need a reason to love someone, you hate a person...... It's the same, just hate him.

The eldest grandson Wuji was full of doubts, and he was very jealous, the crown prince and the prince, the general of the auxiliary state, this is a great official position, higher than his eldest grandson Wuji's official position, and now Li Hao is higher than him whether it is an official position or a title, so when he sees Li Hao in the future, he will salute Li Hao, and he feels depressed when he thinks about it, but he also knows that now is not the time to go against the tune, high is high, anyway, they are all loose officials, and they are just a name, as long as Li Hao's official position has not been decided, wait and see what happens.

The anti-Li Hao alliance has always been headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji did not convey the message, and the others naturally chose to remain silent.

The holy decree of the reward was finally read, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers, and said slowly: "Peng Hai, Li Yuanzhong, Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, Li Hao, these five people have all made great contributions in this war to save the country. ”

The ministers were silent, and not a single one objected.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, he also guessed that no one dared to object, after all, Li Hao turned the tide this time, saved Datang in danger, and saved their lives, even if they were thick-skinned, they were embarrassed to object.

So Li Shimin said: "Since the ministers have no objections, then the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites will arrange according to their will, and the rewards of others will be drawn up by the Ministry of Officials and presented to me for personal reading. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Qunchen Shan shouted, what else can they say now except for patting sycophants, to be honest, they are so uninnovative in slapping sycophants, and they are not as good as Li Hao.

Next, Li Shimin said: "After talking about the reward, and talking about state affairs, Tubo has ravaged my Tang territory all the way, causing a mess in the two roads of my Tang Longyou Pass, and now the national strength is declining, can the ministers have a good plan to let my Tang Dynasty regain its former strength?" ”

Li Shimin asked in court, the ministers, look at me, I look at you, they all began to think hard, after all, this is an excellent opportunity for them to perform, they must not miss it, Li Hao has made meritorious contributions, and it is their turn to make meritorious contributions.
