Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

After finishing talking about the camps of Prince and King Qin, Li Shan began to push out those generals who had a certain relationship with him, but at the same time were Li Yuan's direct descendants.

"Yang Ze, who was transferred to the governor of Suizhou, defended Huating before, and then sent troops to the southwest of Yuanzhou to defend several passes. This man has a lot of strategy." "Although he did not participate in several battles, he has made great achievements."

"Hu Yan, Hu Zizhong, the former general manager of Ningzhou who was transferred to be the general manager of Yinzhou, fought against Xue Wanche bravely in the battle of Jingzhou, and he was even better than Duan Zhixuan in the battle.

Li Shan felt a little regretful. With Hu Yan's ability, he should have been knighted a long time ago... It's hard to imagine that in the past few years, the county men in Chang'an City are not as good as dogs, and Hu Yan hasn't been able to get a knighthood.

"Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, even though he was defeated in Lingzhou, he also made great contributions in the first battle of Yuanzhou, but..."

Duan Decao was retained by Li Shan after being exchanged and returned, and made great contributions in the night attack on Xiaoguan. Later, Su Dingfang let him lead an army alone, and defeated the Liang army three times in Lingzhou and Yanzhou, gaining a lot.

But even though there is an incomprehensible coach named Li Shenfu, Duan Decao was defeated and captured after all, and he was reinstated as the governor of Yanzhou, and he still has the title of Duke of Pingyuan on him... Jinjue is no need to think about it.

"Qian Jiulong, the governor of Jingzhou, managed the rear army in the battle of Jingzhou, and also took charge of the central army. He is also capable in many aspects."

Qian Jiulong was appointed governor of Jingzhou after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain. Although he did not make much contribution after that, and even returned to Jingzhou during the Yuanzhou war, Li Shan deliberately included him.

After the last incident of imitating the selection of Cao Qigui, everyone can understand Li Shan's operation this time... nothing more than flattering His Majesty.

Yang Ze and Hu Yan were a little bit better. Although they were also old men who led Li Yuan and Jinyang's army, their status was not high after all. Qian Jiulong was different from Duan Decao.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan secretly made friends with heroes. Duan Decao was the first group to join Li Yuan, and his relationship was extraordinary. Qian Jiulong, who had been convicted in the Sui Dynasty and was not a slave, served Li Yuan for a long time.

Li Yuan was obviously very satisfied with Li Shan's comments, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Hu Zizhong is the Duke of the Jue County, Yang Ze is the Marquis of the County, Duan Decao and Qian Jiulong will share an imperial horse and two brocade brocades."

Hearing this, Pei Shiju, who was in the presence of an old god, raised his head and glanced at Li Shan. He remembered that two years ago, this fellow claimed that he was not good at seductive... But judging by his methods, he can carefully observe his intentions. He is an out-and-out lucky minister!
In addition to these few people, Li Shan also pointed out Ma Sanbao and Kan Ling. The former belonged to Princess Pingyang.

And Kan Ling is a bit special, Du Fuwei's adoptive son... It can be said that this is recognized by the court, the only general who was not promoted by Li Shan, but attached to Li Shan.

After entering the Tang Dynasty, Kan Lingneng participated in the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun, defended Yanmen, defeated the Turks three times, and then went out with the army this time to make great contributions with the Modao team, and Li Shan is behind him.

Li Yuan didn't hesitate. Kan Ling was originally the Duke of Linji County and the Duke of Jinjue County.

Seeing Li Shan shut up, Li Yuan smiled and asked, "Why is Huairen hesitating?"

"Father, it's not easy to boast." Prince Li Jiancheng said with a playful smile, "There are so many heroes under Huairen's sect, the general is not weaker than the second brother."

Li Shimin looked indifferent and sneered in his heart, but he didn't say a word.

Li Yuan doesn't care. Indeed, there are many people around Li Shan who followed him from Shandong to Hebei, from Shuozhou to Yunzhou, and from Jingzhou to Yuanzhou. Their loyalty to Li Shan is no less than that of Li Shan. The loyalty of the officials of Tiance Mansion to Li Shimin.

Not to mention anything else, Li Shimin privately mentioned to Li Yuan that under himself, Li Jing, and Li Huairen, when it comes to general talents, Su Dingfang is the first, and then Zhang Shigui, Li Shiji, and Yu Chigong can be in turn, and Zhang Zhongjian can also be included in it .

If such a force was placed in the Song and Ming Dynasties, it would definitely attract attention and even shake the imperial power, but in the Tang Dynasty, it could not, and it might be ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

The reason is also very simple, not to mention these prime ministers who are from aristocratic families, even the representatives of imperial power like Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have to admit that this is an era when aristocratic families are popular in the world.

Therefore, whether it is Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, or Li Shimin, most of the people who are reused are outstanding people from aristocratic families, which constitute the basis of their political power and their basic base.

Most of the so-called outstanding people around Li Shan came from reckless people, even Su Dingfang and Wang Junhao. No... No matter what people say, their fathers and grandparents were also serious officials.

Below Su Dingfang, Fan Shiyi, Qi Laosan, Qu Silang, and Zhang Zhongjian, who were used by Li Shan, all came from reckless backgrounds. Although Liu Heier has some prestige on the grassland, he has nothing to do with the family at all.

Therefore, Li Shan himself is regarded as a force in the court and in the army, and he is also valued, but he is not taboo.

Li Yuan picked up a memorial from the case, "Duke Jiang Guo comforted the army after the battle of Jingzhou, and after returning to Beijing, he presented it to the generals for meritorious service. After the war in Yuanzhou and the great victory in Helan, Wen Yanbo reported the meritorious service."

"Su Dingfang..."

Li Shimin at the bottom continued: "After Huairen returned to Beijing, Zhao Guogong led the army alone and defeated the main force of the Liang army. In the future war with the Turks, he will be able to take the lead alone."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. He had privately discussed with Li Shimin many times about Li Shan's strategy of destroying the Turks. If he divides the attack into a five-way army, no matter how he chooses, Li Jing, the Duke of Zhao, and Su Dingfang, the Duke of Zhao, must be the commanders of the first army. Those who want to stay and make contributions before entering Lingyan Pavilion.

Besides, Su Dingfang is already a duke of the state, and there is no way to be promoted to a noble. Li Yuan obviously thought about it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites should designate his mother and his wife."

"Yes."

Li Yuan looked down at the list, "Zhang Zhongjian, Duke of Weiyang County, has made great contributions in Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, and Lingzhou, and he is Jinjue County Duke."

"The rest are Qu Hong and Hou Hongtao who were promoted to the first rank, and Qi Biantao, Fan Jiqing and Liu Heier were promoted to the county marquis."

Li Shan, who quietly retreated and sat at the back, listened to the rewards for ordinary generals and soldiers, thought that no matter how many times Li Yuan cheated him, he was really not that kind of mean and ungrateful monarch.

Now beside Li Shan, there is a Duke of the State, a Duke of the County, three Dukes of the County, and five Counties of the County. Although most of them are shrinking with him in Sun Moon Lake, they are indeed a force that cannot be ignored.

Not long after, the discussion in Liangyi Hall ended, and everyone got up and left one after another. Li Shan was hesitating whether to go back to Zhuangzi or go to Sinong Temple.

The day before yesterday, He Lou Xingshu, who Li Yuan had arranged to stay at Sinong Temple at the beginning of last year, mentioned to Hou Hongtao, the guard guarding Zhuque Gate, that the two young ministers at Sinong Temple seemed to be very flustered recently.

Li Shan had long connected Zhao Wenkai, Rong Jiusi, Qi Wang, Feng Lun, and Yang Wengan together. Hearing this news, he intends to inquire about it.

At this time, Pei Shiju's voice came from beside him, "I'm a little tired today..."

Li Shan glanced sideways, and after a moment of silence, he smiled, "How about sending Mr. Pei home to rest?"

"Then trouble Your Highness."
