Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 839
Regarding the conquest of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, it was finally decided after three days of discussion at the Zhengshitang.

Xie Shufang, Li Junxian, Xu Shiji, Cheng Mingzhen and others are naturally the few meritorious officials at the top of the award list.The rewards for them, apart from gold, silver and jade, are all kinds of loose official titles, such as Shangzhu Kingdom, Great General, and Doctor Jinzi Guanglu.For ministers, there are never too many good titles, and for the court, there are various ways to confer rewards. In addition, there are food cities and so on. As long as the emperor is willing, he can always confer meritorious officials in various ways.

After all, these few are already dukes of the state, and there is no other way to confer rewards on their titles. They can only be given an honorary title.

As for whether they will feel wronged?
That's impossible, you know, since Emperor Zhenguan ascended the throne, the imperial court has been extremely strict in awarding rewards.This point, even the clan is hard to escape.Some things are worth less.What's more, they are not fools. To be courtiers to this level, they understand everything they need to know, and what they pursue is no longer pure profit and power, but the words 'simple in the emperor's heart'.

Whoever can do this, even if he doesn't have the slightest position or title, is still satisfied.

Look at Qin Qiong, look at Yu Chigong, then look at Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others, they are living a pretty good life now.There are few things in the imperial court, and you clock in to work every day, and you can still get the emperor's attention. Whenever you encounter important military affairs, you must order him to discuss.And because of their 'simplification in the emperor's heart', who dares to take their meaning?
Not to mention, they drank soup and water after His Majesty the emperor these years, and drank a lot.

Any courtier who has read the book knows that to be a courtier under the powerful Emperor Zhenguan, one must understand the word "duty". Whoever can grasp this point will be able to live an extremely nourishing life.

After all, Emperor Zhenguan has always been generous enough to treat heroes.Moreover, Li Junxian, Xu Shiji and the others had already been the great officials of one side of the frontier, and they basically had no shortage of honors that they should have.If there is still not enough greed, Li Zhiyun doesn't need to say anything, those jealous censors are afraid that they will be impeached.

In addition to these rewards, Li Zhiyun appointed Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu as captains of the Zhechong Mansion. This position is mostly vain, and they don't have to go to work at ordinary times. Will.

In addition, the emperor announced that he would marry Princess Yongning and Xue Li.

When the news came out, Manchao was shocked.

Well, this is more interesting to them than the rewards from Xie Shufang and others.

how to say?

Mostly in the minds of the courtiers of the empire, if they won a foreign war, there must be no shortage of rewards. The only thing that made them curious was how many false titles the emperor gave to the heroes, how much money was rewarded, or whether he gave the goods or not.

These, they have probably experienced, so there is nothing to be interested in.

But the meaning of the marriage bestowed by the emperor is completely different. You must know that there are only three princesses in His Majesty the Emperor, and each of them is His Majesty's caring little padded jacket.Whenever there is a happy event, the emperor always rewards the three daughters, causing Wei Zheng to fight with the emperor every time, which makes the princes extremely envious.

Now, the emperor is going to marry the princess!

Rare things are precious, the princesses of the former emperor did not want money to give marriages to the children of heroes, but His Majesty did not do so today, which made the ministers very curious which family's children the emperor would marry the princess to in the end.

At first, they thought that the emperor would marry a family, or marry the princess to the son of a hero, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was the young man Xue Li who gave the marriage.

A small number of people know that Xue Li was born in the Xue family in Hedong, which is considered a noble family, but Xue Li's branch has long since declined, and basically belongs to the "poor family".

Of course, some people speculated maliciously that the emperor didn't like Princess Yongning, because she was not the emperor's own, so he married her to Xue Li, a poor boy.

Even though Xue Li and Xue Shou had a somewhat oblique relationship, in the final analysis, Xue Li was a child from a poor family and could not be questioned.

Of course, if someone speculates maliciously, then someone will envy it.

There is no way, there are few emperors and princesses nowadays, and they have always been very fond of them. Whoever can give up a princess will benefit a lot.

Not to mention those invisible benefits, what is on the surface is the opportunity!
For example, the imperial court killed Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje this time, and set up prefectures and counties. If there is a relationship with the princess to go to the palace for a while, how can I get along with a small governor in a remote place to practice experience? Cannot be transferred back to the rich and prosperous states in the Central Plains to serve as officials.

There are too many doorways here.

Some are envious, some are jealous, and some secretly hate.

It doesn't matter if Princess Yongning is not her own, as long as the emperor recognizes this daughter, then she is the princess of the empire.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In the Tai Chi Hall, Xue Li kowtowed to the emperor, his voice choked up.

He is a smart man, and he is very aware of the status gap between himself and Princess Yongning. Originally, he planned to stay for more than ten years, make enough contributions to the empire, and then find a way to ask the emperor to marry him.

But, every time he had a nightmare, he would dream that Yongning couldn't wait for him for so long, so he would marry someone else.

Ever since he and Yongning made a promise to each other for life, he never dared to slacken off for a single day.Because he knew that someone had been waiting for him under pressure.

Later, the emperor asked the school teachers to take special care of him, urged him to study, and gave him the opportunity to go to Liaodong this time. One by one, all of them showed the emperor's great kindness in cultivating him.

Now, a marriage was given to him again, Xue Li was moved beyond measure.

This life, this life will be sold to the royal family!

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xue Li does not know how to be grateful, then he is really nothing.With his status and status, it is tantamount to delusion to want to marry the princess at this age.It was Li Zhiyun who gave him the opportunity to learn and cultivate him to become a talent. No matter from which point of view, he must give his loyalty.

What's more, Xue Li was originally a loyal child.

Li Zhiyun could hear a tremor in Xue Li's voice, and suddenly felt a little emotional.Because Concubine Wei had told him about Yongning, the two children had planned something.For example, Yongning once said that she was willing to wait for Xue Li to make meritorious service before marrying.Another example is Xue Li who vowed not to marry unless he was Yongning, determined to be admitted to university, and to fight for meritorious service.

It now appears that both kids have made it.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xue Li pursed his lips tightly, not letting his smile show, so as not to be ashamed.But he was so happy in his heart that he almost couldn't hold back.

The princess' affection for him was both pressure and motivation. If the princess didn't treat him differently, he, Xue Li, might just be a city gate soldier now.

Without His Majesty's cultivation, how could he, Xue Li, be admitted to the university, get the opportunity to go out with the army to observe and study, and to be awarded for his meritorious service.

Xue Li, Xue Li, you have to remember that you should have three promises in this life.Yi Nuo treats Her Royal Highness wholeheartedly, Er Nuo will always be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and San Nuo will die loyally to His Majesty.

In his heart, Xue Li silently told himself, reminded himself.

Qin Huaiyu looked at Xue Li, feeling sour with envy.

But he had no choice but to envy.

You know, the one he admires is the daughter of the imperial concubine, the princess named Jinyang.To put it bluntly, this title is the first since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Jinyang, the place where the emperor dragon raised his troops, the princess who can be named after this place is the emperor's treasure.
