Chapter 337: Feudal Marquis
This time is different, if it weren't for Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang and other Shenwu guard generals who bravely killed the enemy and fought alone, whether Xue Yantuo could win this battle is still two words.
If the Tang side is defeated, the consequences are naturally unimaginable.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the eldest grandson Wuji, an old yin man, is extremely insidious when he says the title of viscount, and he belittles the merits of Su and Liu to the extreme, obviously suppressing Li Yuanba's Shenwuwei.
"Viscount? Mowgli what else is there to do? It's not a fight against me, is it? β
Li Shimin also frowned, with the merits of the two, even if it is a marquis, why do you say that, what is it if it is not a demolition?
In fact, Li Shimin did not know the purpose of the eldest grandson Wuji's doing.
The eldest grandson Wuji naturally knew that doing this would cause Li Shimin's displeasure, but he had to do it.
He just wanted to see who would be the first to jump out of this court, who would hold opposing opinions, and who was not of the same mind as him.
"Father, the son thinks it's inappropriate!"
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Li Chengqian, who was standing at the front of the right side, stood up with a solemn face.
"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the crown prince Li Chengqian, and said with a pleasant face: "You can come and see."
All the ministers above the court became silent, and looked at Li Chengqian curiously, wondering what he would say.
And the eldest grandson Wuji, who wanted to test who was not the same path as himself, but his eyes were slightly condensed, and he couldn't imagine that the first one to jump out and go against him was his nephew who had always been supportive, the prince Li Chengqian.
His eyes shone on Li Chengqian, as if he wanted to tell his nephew to shut up, but Li Chengqian's face was stern at the moment. It's like he didn't see the light of the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes at all.
The expression in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji changed uncertainly, and after a long time, he regained his calmness, but the look in his eyes was still a little uncertain.
"Father, the son thinks that with the meritorious deeds of the two generals Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang, it is not an exaggeration to give the title of marquis!"
Li Chengqian was really speechless, and directly raised the titles of the two to the highest position:
"Father, you also said just now, there was a battle in Yinshan back then. General Su led his troops to drive straight into the tooth tent of Jieli Khan, captured Jieli alive, and played the majesty of my Tang Dynasty! β
"And General Liu, when the five surnamed Qiwang colluded with the Tibetan thieves to commit rebellion and assassinate the king, he led three thousand Shenwu guards to annihilate the rebels."
"And this time, the two generals rushed to the hinterland of Xue Yantuo with the Shenwuwei army, and the lone army went deep, causing chaos within Xue Yantuo, and many tribes were crowned!"
Speaking of which. Li Chengqian looked around the Liangyi Hall with clear eyes, and continued: "Such brilliant feats, even if they are a little worse than the merits of the older generation, but this marquis position can barely be put on the side, right?" β
Li Chengqian was not polite. Fortunately, he didn't compare with the founding fathers, otherwise, Li Shimin would definitely be the first to jump out and slap him with a big mouth.
"Father. The sons also thought that the eldest grandson was wrong! β
After Li Chengqian's tirade, Li Ke also jumped out, anyway, he and the eldest grandson Wuji have never dealt with each other. The nephews you have always supported are all working against you, and Lao Tzu is still afraid of you?
Yo, when did these two boys wear a pair of pants?
Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke with some surprise, and asked with interest, "What do you say?" β
"Father, the son agrees with the prince's opinion!" Li Ke said: "In terms of the merits of the two generals, the position of marquis can also be deserved!" β
"Erchen seconded!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Su, Li Yun and even Li Zhen all stood up, chose the camp very firmly, arranged them one by one according to their size, and bowed to Li Shimin.
The actions of the five princes were so neat, so neat that all the ministers were stunned.
It's incredible when this group of little princes who are new to the world are so sensible, and their opinions are still so amazingly unanimous.
The actions of the sons did startle Li Shimin a little, only to see Li Shimin gently stroke his forehead and say to the ministers above the court:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you think of the opinions of several princes?"
"The ministers also seconded it!"
Fang Du and the two ministers first showed their attitudes, and they all bowed and bowed.
With these two leaders, the other ministers, except for a few who wore the same pants as the eldest grandson Wuji, all of them were in the end, shouting and seconding the proposal.
In fact, these ministers in the court, one of them is looking at the face of the princes and the two prime ministers of Fang Du, and these two naturally don't want to offend Li Yuanba.
Even a fool can see the current situation.
This Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang are all Shenwuwei's people, and there are more than a dozen people standing behind Li Yuanba, all of whom are Shenwuwei's generals.
Even if these generals walked out of the Shenwuwei in the future and went to other places to become officials, they also clearly branded themselves with the Shenwuwei, and the entire Shenwuwei faction can be said to be a faction of its own.
When the time comes, that's a lot of power!
Fighting against such a force, isn't it a donkey kicking your brain?
Besides, this reward is clearly set up for the Shenwu guards alone, and the other courtiers in the Liangyi Hall are just a foil.
For such a trivial matter, and offended His Royal Highness the Martial King, who was in the limelight, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Eldest Sun Wuji's face instantly became gloomy, originally he thought that above this court, even if there were not half of the people on his side, there would be one-third.
But now it seems that there are only a dozen or so people in the entire court who can stand with him, not even one-seventh of them.
Of course, the partisan struggle at this time is not obvious, after all, Li Shimin is in the prime of life, and he doesn't know how many years he can continue to be the emperor.
At that time, it will be a death, or even the destruction of the nine clans, so it is better to be cautious!
"Your Majesty, is this marquis's title too high? According to the younger brothers, the merits of these two people have not yet reached the Cheng dΓΉ of conferring the title of marquis! β
Several princes stopped talking, but Li Yuanba jumped out directly and disgusted.
All the courtiers were surprised, what happened to this lord? Is the marquis a high knighthood? It can't really be like what the eldest grandson Wuji said, let the two of them become viscounts!
The eldest grandson Wuji was also very surprised, with Li Yuanba's master who would never suffer a loss and protect the calf, he was willing to let his subordinates push out the lord in his hand?
Are you kidding!
A kind of courtiers don't know what Li Yuanba is going to do, Li Chengqian, these bear children who used to get along with Li Yuanba day and night, but they know that their four emperor uncles are about to jump out of the yin, as for who is going to be yin, so do you need to say? It must be the unlucky eldest grandson Wuji!
Li Yuanba ignored everyone's expressions, directly turned on the self-deprecation mode, and said:
"Alas, my brother also knows that since the establishment of our Tang Dynasty, this title has been very nervous! It's just that he captured Jieli Khan, killed a hundred thousand thieves, captured a Zhenzhu Khan, lost a child, destroyed a small country of Xue Yantuo, and broke a rebellion with five surnames and seven hopes...... These are all trivial, like the eldest grandson said, just come with a viscount or something, marquis...... It's so high! β
Oops, I'll you. !
Where are you disgusted with the title of high, obviously disgusted with the title too low, come out disgusting Eldest Sun Wuji is here!
If these are all trivial, then there is nothing big about the entire Datang!
In the court, all the civil ministers and military generals looked at each other, obviously disgusted by Li Yuanba's words.
Li Yuanba ignored them and continued to continue his disgusting career to the end, he pretended to have an extremely pitiful look on his face, and said very aggrievedly:
"Brother Huang, we soldiers and generals who went to the front line, they are all cheap lives, no matter how much blood is shed, how much sweat is shed, or there are missing arms and legs, it is all deserved! Unlike some officials and masters in the court, who eat small dishes at home, drink wine, and hug concubines, this big mouth goes to the court and says, we have no credit for our cheap lives, and we deserve to suffer the sin of sleeping in the open air, missing arms and legs, and losing our lives! So, all of our credit is small...... Alas, don't say it, don't say it, it's all fate if you talk too much! β
Li Yuanba's face was full of grievances, like a guilty little daughter-in-law, and all the courtiers in the court were stunned!
Burst!!
You're fucking shameless, if you say this, where does it seem that your credit is small, it's clear that your merit is higher than the sky!
Besides, what does the last sentence mean? Didn't he make it clear that his eldest grandson Wuji was the official master?
I used to think that Cheng Lao was shameless enough, but compared to you, Cheng Lao had to be thrown out of eight hundred miles!
"Uncle Four Emperors is really bad, but ...... I like it! Hey hey ......"
Li Su held back a wicked smile in his stomach and secretly muttered a word.
Li Su's other brothers also nodded silently, obviously agreeing with Li Su's opinion.
It was Li Chengqian, the expression on his face was a little complicated, these two people, one was his own uncle, and the other was his own uncle.
Although he is very inclined to his own uncle and is very disappointed in his own uncle, his position is really awkward, and it is not appropriate to say anything now.
After the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Yuanba's words, his face was dark, and he estimated that he had a fight with Wei Zheng.
But he also knew that he was not doing this properly, and now he wanted to say something more, I was afraid that the entire court would do it against him.
Li Yuanba's words made Li Shimin begin to sympathize with the eldest grandson Wuji, and at the same time, his expression became crying and laughing.
This brother of his own is really a living treasure, it is estimated that the dead can make him angry. (To be continued......)
