Datang Longya

Chapter 838
Among the dynasties in the Central Plains, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, none of the dynasties had a territory comparable to the current Tang Dynasty.

This is something enough to brag about in the annals of history. From the emperor to the officials in the Zhenguan Dynasty, everyone can be proud of this.

In comparison, the loss of money in the global attack on Tang Zhong is nothing at all!

After Fang Xuanling finished reading, he went back to the civil servants and sat down.

Li Shimin, who had been listening in, said: "The whole world attacked the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that this was a catastrophe. However, under the catastrophe, the strength of the unity of the people was revealed. I am very proud. After the world attacked the Tang Dynasty, the generals threw their heads at the border Sprinkling their blood, the civil servants dealt with various official affairs in Chang'an day and night. During this period, not a single soldier surrendered, and no official was discouraged. This victory does not belong to me, but to you."

Fang Xuanling led the civil servants to sit up straight, and for a while he didn't know how to reply to the emperor's words.

In the past, they could take the opportunity to flatter the emperor, but now the emperor directly said that the credit is all on them, how to answer this?

Embarrassed, Fang Xuanling could only lead all the officials to shout "Long live".

Li Shimin smiled slightly, not caring about this embarrassing scene.

Standing up, Li Shimin picked up the imperial edicts from the dragon table and handed them to an eunuch.

The eunuch took the imperial decree and sent it to Fang Xuanling.

The next step is to reward meritorious deeds, because it is a grand court meeting, and the occasion is very formal, so accepting a reward at this time is much more honorable than an ordinary court meeting.

Fang Xuanling got up, picked up the first imperial decree, and read: "General Zhen Guo, Duke Lu Cheng bids the gold to accept the seal."

Among the generals, Cheng Yaojin stood up with a big grin, smiling extremely arrogantly.

After Cheng Yaojin knelt down, Fang Xuanling recited: "The emperor said: I rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force. And the commander-in-chief Rong will be the pillar of the court and the backbone of the country. Gong Cheng Yao of the Erlu Kingdom Jin, who has been conquering with me for many years, has now returned from the Jedi of Dafeichuan. His military achievements are not obvious, but his hard work and achievements are high. It is reasonable to confer the title of Hussar General. The family of Yuan Rong's heroic achievements are announced to Huaxia, and they are smoked with Zhaolubu's bravery , temporarily Xi Wubian, plus Pi Ji, Qin Zai."

After reading the imperial decree, Cheng Yaojin kowtowed in the direction of the emperor before continuing.

The Great General of Zhen Guo is only the second rank, while the Great General of Hussars is from the first rank.The Tang Dynasty did not have the rank of Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, but it was actually equivalent to the position of the first rank, so the General Hussars was already the limit.

Although the Hussar General is only from the first rank, since ancient times, few people have been able to sit in this position.For example, Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty served as the general of the hussars.

General Hussars is not only an official position, but also represents glory, status, and the trust of the emperor.

At present, the status of Hussar General is even higher than that of Duke.With this position, Cheng Yaojin can be regarded as a real devil in Tang Dynasty in the future, because even Fang Xuanling will let him half a step.

And the king of the kingdom.
With Leng Feng alone, it is already beyond the standard, and if there are more, the title of Duke passed down from generation to generation will really become a decoration.

After Cheng Yaojin passed, it was Yu Chigong, and similarly, he also became a general of hussars.

Zhang Gongjin, Li Ji, Liu Hongji, Zhang Liang, and Feng An also won the position of General Hussars.

No matter what it is, it will be worthless if it is too much, and the general Hussars is the same.

However, conferring seven hussar generals at one time did not harm the status of this position, at most it seriously weakened the power of this position.

However, this is also the reason why Li Shimin dared to designate these people as generals of hussars.

When this position is no longer in charge of the power that even the emperor has a headache, it is just suitable to be used as a reward similar to a title.

In addition to the position of Hussar General, these seven people will also receive a lot of rewards, to put it bluntly, it is money.

However, this is just icing on the cake for everyone with a big family and a big business.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Feng An has officially obtained a position conferred by the Central Plains.Today's Lingnan has been completely incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, and is no longer an existence similar to Jimi Prefecture.

There are still three imperial decrees left in the eunuch's tray.

All civil servants and generals looked at Leng Feng, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong.

Of these three, one is the Duke of Protecting the Kingdom, the other is the First Rank Duke of Wei in the military, and the other is the Duke of Hejian County.

It can be said that these three have reached the pinnacle of status, and I don't know how the emperor will reward these three?
Fang Xuanling took out the imperial decree and read: "Wei Guogong Li Jing accepts the decree."

Li Jing got up to accept the order, and everyone's hearts were moved.This time, Fang Xuanling read "receive the order" instead of "listen to the letter".

This is very interesting!
Fang Xuanling cleared his throat, and read: "The emperor said: I rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force. And the commander-in-chief Rong will be the pillar of the court and the backbone of the country. Li Jing, the Duke of Erwei, uses soldiers like a god." , Wei Zhenrong Di, the generation of Turkic and Tubo, still feel terrified when they hear the name of "Military God". I have heard that the ancestor of the outstanding meritorious service, and his descendants are also blessed. Now I am conferring the military medal on Li De, the second son. Lord of the county."

Hearing this, the courtiers suddenly realized.

Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, did not have the room to accept the reward, but his second son could.

Normally, the Duke of Wei's title can only be passed on to his eldest son Li Dejian, and the second son can at most receive a good position under the patronage.But now that Lao Tzu's achievements are distributed to his sons, and Li Jing's second son is exceptionally given a title, no one else can say anything.

(I mistyped Li Dejian's name before, sorry)
After all, the emperor said that without military merit, one cannot be a noble. Li Jing is a real military merit. Moreover, Li Deju is Li Jing's own son, the first son, and he cannot inherit the title because of his second son.It is not unreasonable to convert Li Jing's achievements into the title of the second son.

Li Jing didn't expect the emperor to make such an arrangement, but for him, it was exactly what he wanted.

He only has two sons, both of whom are legitimate sons. Although he is not worried about conflicts between the two sons after his death, it would be good if he could earn a title for the second son at this time.

After this worldwide attack on the Tang Dynasty, for a long time, the title will only decrease but not increase.

The title of Marquis is already very good!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing kowtowed to the emperor very seriously.

Next is Li Xiaogong. Like Li Jing, his second son also got the title of a county king.

Although Li Xiaogong belongs to the royal family, he is only a next of kin, and the title can only be passed on to the eldest son. Although the second son still has the royal blood, his relationship has been marginalized.

Now his second son has also obtained the title of county king, which is already very good.

What's more, his achievements this time are not enough to directly get the title of county king. It can be said that this is the emperor's care for him.
