A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 192
In the early morning, Wu Huaiyu got up early, and Run Niang also got up early to change Huaiyu's clothes. The Gao sisters and An Linna served together.

Wu Huaiyu in the bronze mirror is extraordinarily energetic today.

People are happy when they are happy.

Reliable news, today's court meeting, it is a big deal to appoint a hero, Jueyi.Huaiyu even knew that he was proposed to be an earl. This news shocked and surprised him. He even heard that Moma Zhou in Huaiyi Department was also planning to be a baron. He felt that this news was unreliable, but it was Zhang Anan again. His grandson Zhang Baoguo disclosed it.

Call Shang Huaiyi in the east courtyard, and call Lao Wu in the north courtyard. The three masters go to court together today.

Today is not the Zhengshuo dynasty, but the emperor has a decree, all courts above the ninth rank of civil and military in Beijing.

Countless officials gathered towards the East Palace, and it was very lively. The faces of many officials were filled with uncontrollable joy. It was obvious that these people were also well-informed, and they knew the news that they might be ennobled or promoted.

This time it will be an unprecedented feat of meritorious officials, even more grand than the one at the beginning of the founding of the Wude Dynasty.

Originally, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was going to reward the officials. This time, it was delayed for almost three months. There were many reasons, mainly because of the Turkic invasion. The situation is complicated, and this time there are more rewards than under normal circumstances.

However, after Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he retained official titles for the nobles left by the previous dynasty, which was actually regarded as a reward.

Hundreds of officials entered the palace.

The princes and ministers entered the palace, and many low-ranking ones could only stand outside the palace.

Huaiyu was not on duty today as a bodyguard, but he was also standing in the fifth-rank military officer class. Because of the viscount, he was able to stand in front of the fifth-rank class.

"It's been a few months since I ascended the throne, and I haven't conferred titles and titles on meritorious officials. Today, I will rank your meritorious rewards. There are two grades for real seals and false seals, and nine ranks for real seals, up to [-]. [-] households, minimum [-] households,

If there is any inappropriateness, you can declare it separately. "

Li Shimin ordered Chen Shuda, the prime minister, to roll his name and announce it.

The list is very long. First, there are 48 people on the ninth-class list. Sikong Zuopu shot Wei Guogong Pei Ji alone at the top of the list, with [-] households sealed, and the only one with [-] households sealed.

Then there are the six names of the second-class grandson Wuji, Wang Junkuo, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, all of which have sealed [-] households.

Chai Shao, Li Yi, Li Xiaogong, and Changsun Shunde were the third class, all entrusted with [-] households.

Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, and Liu Shili were the fourth class, with [-] households sealed off.

Li Ji, Liu Hongji, etc. are fifth, with [-] households.

Gao Shilian, Yuwen Shiji, and Cheng Yaojin are the sixth, with [-] households.

······
After finishing the ninth list of the real list, Chen Shuda immediately sang the list of the false titles.

There are 1 people on the Sanjue list, and No.[-] is Chen Shuda himself, followed by Yang Gongren, Pei Ju, and Li Gang. Two of the three Wude prime ministers are still current prime ministers, but they still haven't made it to the official list. Prince Shaobao and Li Gang were placed at the top of the list together.

Li Shimin changed the titles that Li Yuan had given them, and all four of them became dukes of the state. The titles were changed, and they were rewarded with money, silk and land.

Then there is a long list, including the princes of the royal family, the old ministers of Wude, and some generals from the Qiandi of the King of Qin.

For example, Xu Luoren and Qiao Gui from the four old houses of Li Shimin's Mo Mansion were all named Dukes of the Jin Dynasty, and Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang, Feng Li, and Li Anyan from the old department of the original palace were all named Dukes of the Jin Dynasty.

The king of the county, the duke of the state, the duke of the county, the duke of the county, the marquis of the county, the magistrate of the county, the son of the county, and the man of the county are falsely granted titles of loose titles, and the word "Jianguo" is not added before the titles to distinguish them from actual titles.

The list is very long, and Chen Shuda has been singing the newspaper loudly. Outside the hall, Tong Shisheren is also responsible for singing and passing on to the officials in the square outside the hall.

Everyone was listening carefully, wanting to hear their rewards.

After the two knighted lists, there is also a list of promotions...

After a long time, Chen Shuda finally finished singing.

Huaiyu had also heard her name on the list of vain titles. She was granted the title of uncle of Shouyang County, with [-] households in the food town, and was on the fourth rank. nothing.

He also heard that Huaiyi was granted the male title of Daling County.

Qin Qiong changed the title of Qi Guogong, ranked second, and sealed 4 households. He was actually No. [-] on the list of real seals, ahead of Yu Chigong.

This seems to be a little different from his impression. Didn't he remember that Qin Qiong changed the title of Hu Guogong and sealed [-] households like Cheng Yaojin?
Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin Youyi and Su Erguo, changed to Hu and Lu Erguo, why Qin Qiong is now ranked fifth.

Wasn't Lu Guogong the Quan Zhirang who impeached him last time? He was re-titled or demoted. It seems that he didn't hear it.

Those who can be in the palace today are all with high official positions, even those who have been awarded titles, and basically their names are on the list of awards.

It's just that some people are very happy, and some people's faces are not very good-looking.

Li Shimin looked at the silent crowd, and then asked everyone to express their opinions. If he felt that the award did not match his merits, he could declare it.

As soon as these words came out, the silence was broken.

The hall immediately became noisy like a vegetable market, almost everyone felt that their rewards were too low, and many people stared at others, thinking that the other party's credit was not as good as their own but was still higher than their own, so they should be rewarded higher.

Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, shouted the loudest. Li Shimin's cousin was very unconvinced.

Li Shimin asked him to stand up and speak.

"Your Majesty, when I raised troops in Kansai, I first responded to the banner of righteousness and made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Later, I appeased Shandong and led the Central Plains. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others only knew how to play with swords and tongues, but their credit was ranked second to mine. Above, all of them are second-class real seals, with [-] households sealed,

The minister is not even as good as the three slaves Ma Sanbao, Fan Xing, and Qian Jiulong, and he doesn't even have a name on the real seal list, and the false seal list is only ranked second. The minister refuses to accept it! "

Although Li Shentong is not a prime minister, he is Li Yuan's cousin and grandson of Li Hu, and he is different from Changle King Li Youliang and Lujiang King Li Yuan who support Jiancheng. Li Shentong has always supported Li Shimin, and even helped Li Shimin Very busy several times.

But today, he didn't even go on the list of real seals, and he couldn't top the list of false seals. He couldn't figure it out, his face turned purple with anger, his beard trembled wildly, and his body trembled.

Li Shimin had expected this for a long time, so he took his time.

"At the beginning of the righteous army, although my uncle was the first to sing and raise troops, but this move was self-seeking to get rid of the disaster. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he did not treat his uncle badly. He worshiped Gao Jue as an important post and ordered him to sit in the Central Plains. But Dou Jiande devoured Shandong, and his uncle's entire army overwhelmed.

Liu Heita joined Ember again, but his uncle could only run away.

Xuanling Ruhui and others strategized, settled down in the country, and rewarded for meritorious deeds, so naturally he should be above his uncle.

Uncle is the dearest relative of the country, I will never begrudge rewards to you, but rewarding meritorious deeds today is based on meritorious deeds, how can you abuse personal feelings! "

Li Shentong was still dissatisfied, but Li Shimin didn't give him any face, and directly pointed out that Li Shentong had lost troops and generals several times in Shandong, which made him ashamed to continue talking.

In contrast, Li Xiaogong, King of Zhao County, conquered half of the Tang Dynasty, but this time he was only awarded the third rank, with [-] households, not only under Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, but also under Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Wang Junkuo and other generals .

Even his Zhao Junwang was renamed Hejian Junwang, which is definitely not as good as the one title.

But Li Xiaogong, who hadn't shown himself for a long time, knelt in the hall and closed his eyes to rest his mind, completely indifferent. In the eighth year of Wude when he served as the governor of Yangzhou, he was reported for treason, recalled by Li Yuan to the court, and was imprisoned for a period of time. Later found out that he was not guilty and released, but Li Xiaogong also came to his senses. From then on, he built gardens at home every day, listened to songs and danced with Na'vi people, drank and had fun every day, and never even left the house.

If Li Shimin hadn't sent someone to declare that he must come today, he would never go to court again.

The representatives of the clan kings, Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong, together with Li Yuan, the Lujiang king who was killed for rebellion, and Li Youliang, the Changle king who was deprived of the governor of Liangzhou for his previous ineffective resistance, the emperor's attitude towards them was very clear.

"Anyone else has an opinion, come out and declare!"

"I have an opinion!"

Wu Guogong Wei Chi Gong is out of duty. This old man like an iron tower is not wearing armor and purple robes today, but he still gives people a great sense of oppression.

Yu Chigong stood up and didn't challenge Pei Ji, nor did he point at Changsun Wuji. One of these two men was a prime minister for nine years, or a Sangong, and the other was Li Shimin's brother-in-law, his confidant Yuan Cong.

He was not dissatisfied with Qin Qiong, after all, he had defeated Qin Qiong's men twice back then, so he was still convinced.

He is unconvinced by Wang Junkuo, the Duke of Peng, and he is not convinced by this fellow from Hedong. Wang Junkuo is a scoundrel, and he is the best at swinging on the wall. Why is he ranked third?

What qualifies him to be above him?

It should be said that Wang Junkuo had made great contributions in resisting the Turks and defeating the enemy in Youzhou, but Yu Chigong defeated only more Turks than him, and he defeated five thousand enemies in Sanyuan not long ago.

As for the merits of supporting Li, Yu Chigong also killed Yuan Ji and saved Li Shimin, and he personally "invited" Li Yuan to the dragon boat in Haichi that day, and asked him to issue an edict to make Yuan Ji a traitor.

"The merit of the minister should be higher than that of Wang Junkuo."

Yu Chigong almost said that he should be the third hero.

Wang Junkuo is not in the palace today, he is still serving as the governor of Youzhou.

"Wang Jun Kuo Wude abandoned Li Mi in the first year and led tens of thousands of horses to vote. After that, he lived in Hebei for a long time, followed me to attack Wang Shichong, captured Dou Jiande, and flattened Liu Heita.
In addition, Lujiang King Li Yuan rebelled, and Wang Junkuo captured Li Yuan and Wang Shen with his own strength, stabilized Youzhou, and saved the court from a great chaos. This is due to Sheji! "

Yu Chigong was not convinced, but on the fourth day of June, the matter of killing Yuan Ji and kidnapping Li Yuan was not easy to tell in public in the hall, so in the end he could only stand there with a blushing face, panting heavily, and refused to back down Down.

Li Shimin's face sank, "Of course I also remember that you, Yuchi Jingde, had the meritorious service in protecting me and killing Yuanji, but I also rewarded you a long time ago. Before you June, the official rank is not obvious, but the fourth-rank position, I not only reward you Thousands of bolts of silk, and I will reward you with all of Yuanji’s property, and seal you as Duke of Wu, this time I will give you the second-class seal, [-] households, are you not satisfied?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Chigong had no choice but to kneel down, "I surrender."

As soon as Li Shimin waved his hand, Yu Chigong got up and retreated to the class, but his face was still very dissatisfied, but the emperor said such words, so he had no choice but to retreat.

The emperor's confidantes are like this. Seeing this, other people also know that what the emperor said just now is obviously just saying. It seems that this reward list has been drawn up long ago and cannot be changed.

Xiao Yu sealed Deyi's left and right servants, and he could only rank seventh, with only [-] households sealed, but looking at Chen Shuda and Pei Ju, they didn't even enter the list of sealed seals, so they had to accept being accepted by Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Chigong The fact that these previously low-ranking warriors were over their heads.

Everyone wants to fight for the truth.

Those on the false list who know that their merits are not enough to compete with those on the real list will be even less likely to stand out.

Although there are nine grades of titles, no one will stand up again.

Wu Huaiyu thought that many people would stand up against him as the uncle of Shouyang County, but no one had any objections?

Don't you think it's too fast for him to go from Baiding to Earl in more than three months?
Or is it that there are too many rewards today, some of them who have not been knighted before will be made dukes this time, or even real dukes, so it's not special?

Just as Huaiyu was complacent and the Earl had successfully obtained it, he noticed a gaze staring at him and turned his head to look.

It turned out to be Old Wei next door.

Wei Zheng took a deep look at him, and then resolutely left the shift.

His mother is also a thief and his mother!

"Chen Wei Zheng, may I ask Your Majesty, why Wu Huaiyu should be named County Bo?"
