Chapter 98: Generous rewards
Seeing the heroic Li Zhen returning from victory, Li Shimin's heart was full of contradictions.
On the one hand, he was happy to have such a good son.
??????Li Shimin¡¯s favorite sons have always been Wei King Li Tai and Wu King Li Ke. In his opinion, Li Tai was both civil and military, and Li Ke was outstanding in martial arts.
As for Li Zhen¡¯s son, he never took it seriously. In his opinion, Li Zhen was no different from the King of Shu Li Min and others. Firstly, he was young, and secondly, his abilities and talents were not outstanding.
However, Li Zhen, who is usually not showy, used her actions to break Li Shimin's view.
First, he single-handedly put down the rebellion of Hou Junji, and then sent five thousand soldiers to the hinterland of Goguryeo to destroy Goguryeo.
With such military talent, he is completely the second Li Shimin, even compared with the God of War Li Jing, he is not inferior.
Li Shimin was happy to have such a son.
But on the other hand, Li Zhen's sudden rise has caused strong friction with the civil servant group headed by Chang Sun Wuji. Li Zhen has military exploits, and Li Zhi has the support of Chang Sun Wuji and others. Who should be appointed as the prince? What a conundrum.
Originally, Li Shimin was leaning towards Li Zhi, but the great contribution Li Zhen made this time made Li Shimin waver. Even in Li Shimin's heart, he had a strong desire for Li Zhen to inherit his career and become the next successor of the Tang Empire. of the monarch.
Li Shimin also believed that Li Zhen would bring the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty to the extreme.
Li Shimin looked at his son happily, with a look of relief on his face.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work, and all the generals for your hard work. This time, Goguryeo was pacified. Your hard work has made a great contribution. I will reward you all!"
At the moment, Li Shimin granted Cheng Yaojin the rank of first-rank hussar general, Li Ruyi the second-rank general of the army, and Xue Rengui the third-rank champion general. Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu were granted the title of third-rank Yunhui for their merits in capturing Gao Zang and Quan Gaisuwen. General, Jiang Xingba and others were all named Zhongwu Generals of the Fourth Grade.
Except for Cheng Yaojin, who had long been the Duke of Lu, all the others were granted the title of marquis, rewarded with a hundred gold coins, and given a mansion in Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin, Li Ruyi, Xue Rengui, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu and others were overjoyed and thanked Li Shimin.
As for Li Zhen, he was already a prince now, with one person under one person and more than ten thousand people. However, Li Zhen still increased Li Zhen's food town to ten thousand households, rewarded him with a thousand gold coins, and gave him nine tins.
There were only more than three million households in the Tang Dynasty. Giving Li Zhen 10,000 households with food was already a huge reward. As for Jiuxi, it was a guard of honor used by the emperor. Looking at the ancient and modern history of China, it is nothing more than an honor to receive nine gifts. There are dozens of people in Qu, including Wang Mang, Cao Cao and other famous heroes in history.
Even Zhuge Liang of Shu did not dare to accept Jiuxi.
This shows how much Li Shimin loves Li Zhen.
When Changsun Wuji heard that Li Shimin wanted to give Li Zhen Jiuxi, he immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, no! Jiuxi is for the use of the empire, how can it be easily passed on to others? Don't you hear that there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country? King Ruoyue With Jiuxi, where will your Majesty be placed?"
Changsun Wuji understood that if Li Zhen really accepted Jiuxi, it would undoubtedly tell the whole world that Li Zhen's ability and prestige were second only to the emperor in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the position of the prince would be Besides Li Zhen, what can others think?
This is a disguised announcement to the whole world that Li Zhen is the future prince!
This fight for the crown prince will naturally have an outcome. This is definitely not the outcome that Changsun Wuji wants to see.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Wuji's words are wrong. Zhen'er's contribution is enough to be worthy of this Jiuxi, so why not accept it?"
"Your Majesty, no! If your Majesty gives the King of Yue Jiuxi, what should the King of Yue do if he performs meritorious service again in the future? Do you want your Majesty to give up the throne to the King of Yue?"
Murder!
Changsun Wuji's words were like a knife piercing Li Shimin's heart. He was telling Li Shimin, if you really give Li Zhen Jiuxi, and Li Zhen makes great achievements, the world will only know Li Zhen and not know that you are the emperor. , can your throne still be stable?
"Your Majesty, don't forget the changes in Xuanwu Gate!" Chu Suiliang made another stab.
Li Shimin felt his heart tremble. During the Xuanwu Sect incident, Li Shimin killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate. This was a stain on his life and the greatest pain in his heart.
Chu Suiliang's words immediately made Li Shimin's heart tremble. Yes, if Li Zhen is really awarded Jiuxi, how will Li Zhen be rewarded for his meritorious service in the future?
Are you going to give up the throne to him?
If you don¡¯t give in, if Li Zhen launches the second Xuanwu Sect Revolution, wouldn¡¯t he become the second Emperor Gaozu?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but shudder, and he regretted his impulse in his heart. However, he was the emperor and had a golden tongue. If he went back on his words, wouldn't he be laughed at by everyone?
"Father, I don't want Jiuxi."
Li Zhen suddenly left work and said.
"Oh? Why?" Li Shimin's heart moved, and he thought, why did Li Zhen take the initiative to not want Jiuxi?
Li Zhenxin said that Changsun Wuji, an old fox, was really corrupt. On the surface, he was doing it for the sake of the emperor, but in fact, he was trying to prevent him from getting close to the position of prince. If he really got the nine tins, things would be unfavorable to him.
It can be seen that Li Shimin has been persuaded by Changsun Wuji. At this time, if he insists on Jiuxi, it will leave a bad impression in Li Shimin's heart. Instead, he will be at a disadvantage in the fight for the crown prince. It is better to take the initiative. Resigning to show that you have no interest in fame is also a way of retreating into advancement.
Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard that Li Zhen took the initiative to resign from Jiuxi, he secretly praised his son. He really knew the general situation and didn't want to embarrass himself. This is his good son who is devoted to the country and not to fame and fortune.
Having such a capable and sensible son is really a blessing to me and a blessing to the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin said: "In this case, I will not give you Jiuxi, but I will still give you the fake Huangyue."
"Fake" borrows from ancient times, Huangyue: an ax decorated with gold, used exclusively by emperors, or specially given to important ministers in charge of conquests.
Therefore, the fake yellow axe is a yellow axe lent to ministers, which means that the emperor exercises the power of conquest.
The title was often given to the highest-ranking ministers of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties when they went on an expedition.
Although the fake yellow Yue is not as good as giving Jiuxi, it is also a great affirmation from the emperor to his ministers and a symbol of power.
In the previous history, if a person was given both the Gang Jiu Xi and the fake Huang Yue, he would most likely usurp the throne, because if he was rewarded again, he would have no choice but to give up the throne to him.
" However, Li Shimin gave Li Zhen a fake yellow ax. Firstly, the two were father and son. Secondly, the fake yellow ax was not as meaningful as the one given to Jiuxi, so it was acceptable.
Changsun Wuji still refused and wanted to say something else. Li Shimin said coldly: "That's it! Don't my words count?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
