Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1774
Qin Tian explained three things.

Some explanations are not bad, such as the massacre of the city.

But some explanations are a bit unreasonable, such as killing the supervisor.

But no matter whether his explanation is really good or not, there is no problem. He explained it after winning the battle, so what he said naturally makes sense.

Many things in this world are judged by success or failure.

However, after Qin Tian finished speaking, some people stood up and continued to refute.

"No matter how you explain it, massacring the city and killing the supervising army has already violated the laws of our Tang Dynasty. If we don't punish them, the laws of our Tang Dynasty will be in vain. All the generals who lead the army can do this in the future. Isn't it going to mess up?"

"My lord, Qin Tian must be severely punished."

"That's right, that's right, if Qin Tian is not severely punished, I will be killed here today."

"........."

The situation in the courtroom got out of hand again, and it wasn't until this time that Li Shimin spoke again, saying: "My loves, please be quiet."

The whole hall suddenly fell silent, Li Shimin glanced at it, and said: "These things Qin Aiqing did violate some military laws of our Tang Dynasty, and they should be punished. However, Qin Aiqing destroyed three countries. , The credit for defeating the Japanese soldiers cannot be erased. I said before that as long as Qin Tian comes back after winning the battle, I will make him the Duke of the state. I will keep this promise, so I will make Qin Tian the Duke of Qin Well, however, temporarily suspend all his duties in the court, and think about it at home."

Banning all positions would be tantamount to resigning Qin Tian.

However, when Li Shimin mentioned such a serious punishment, the officials in the court didn't care, they just kept their eyes on the title of Lord Qin.

Right after Li Shimin finished speaking, someone stood up immediately, and his expression seemed to want to explode.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Even if the Majesty wants to fulfill his promise and make Qin Tian the Duke of the State, he must not be named the Duke of Qin. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has only been one Duke of Qin, and that is the Duke of Qin. Before you were conferred the title of King of Qin, since you have used this title, Your Majesty, no one else will be able to use it after that."

"That's right, that's right. Your Majesty, please think twice. This title must never be used by others."

"Your Majesty, after Qin Guogong, I, Tang Dynasty, can no longer be used by anyone."

"........."

At this time, some taboos should be paid attention to. If there is a word in the name of the wife's elders, then the younger generation can't use this word in it. The name of the emperor is naturally even more taboo.

Now the Duke of Qin's title is also taboo.

Therefore, when Li Shimin proposed this, many people in the court stood up one after another.

Of course, the reason why they stood up was not simply because of taboos. Li Shimin gave Qin Tian the title of Duke of Qin, which seemed to severely punish Qin Tian, ​​but such a title clearly showed that he had enough favor for Qin Tian.

They didn't want to see this happen, so whatever they said, they couldn't let Qin Tian have this title.

They just couldn't see Qin Tian being favored like this.

Everyone said one sentence to another, Qin Tian was also taken aback at that time, there are many titles of Duke of the State, and he did not expect that Li Shimin would give himself the title of Duke of Qin that he had used before.

I can't believe it.

However, he was not in a hurry to speak. This kind of thing is definitely a big enough honor. If you don't want it, it's a bit unreasonable.

All this depends on Li Shimin's own choice.

Li Shimin was not surprised to see someone objecting, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know what you love, but now that I am the Son of Heaven, why can't the title of Duke of Qin be used? If it is not a title owned by the Duke of the court, other people will not be able to use it in the future. If this is the case, how many new titles of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty will come up with, or will there be no need for any Duke of the Kingdom in the future?"

After Li Shimin said this, the faces of the officials in the court became ugly. They don't need the Duke of the State, so some of them who can pass the position of Duke of the State to their sons can't use it either?

A group of people looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly. The whole hall fell silent, and no one said anything. Seeing this situation, Qin Tian walked forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'll give you an order to thank you."

After Qin Tian said this, he stood aside, and next, Li Shimin rewarded Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others.

Whether it was the massacre of the city or the killing of Zhang Ming, etc., Qin Tian was the one who took it down, so Cheng Chumo and the others received a lot of rewards for attacking the city.

It's just that although they received a lot of rewards, they felt a little uncomfortable after all.

They all went to war together, and in the end they got the benefits, and Qin Tian took over all the bad things. As Qin Tian's brothers, how could they feel better in their hearts?

But above this great hall, they had no choice but to smile and thank each other again and again.

After saying this, the morning court was almost over, and Li Shimin didn't invite them to the banquet, so he withdrew directly.

After retiring from the court, Yuchi Baolin followed his father back to the mansion. On the way, he didn't say anything, but his face was gloomy. When he arrived at the mansion, he finally couldn't help saying: "The Holy Admiral Qin's position has been withdrawn. It’s too unreasonable, we destroyed the Three Kingdoms, the great credit, just because of the massacre of the city, will it all be wiped out?”

Very angry, even very angry, he is still a bit like his father, Yu Chigong, with a very hot temper sometimes.

However, Yu Chigong was much better than him at this time, only to see Yuchi Gong smiled slightly, and said: "You are really far behind Qin Tian, ​​that kid is so smart, if you want these merits, In the Goguryeo royal city, there are many ways to solve it, why should he massacre the city, and there are many ways to get rid of those Japanese soldiers, so why should he be charged with killing and surrendering?"

Hearing this, Yuchi Baolin was a little puzzled, and asked, "What does Daddy mean?"

As he said that, he suddenly realized something, and said, "What does Daddy mean to say, Brother Qin did this on purpose?"

Yuchi Gong patted Yuchi Baolin on the forehead, and said: "You boy, you finally got the hang of it. If he didn't do it on purpose, who would let him do these things? The merits of destroying the Three Kingdoms, you people who follow him It's nothing, but he is about to make a big contribution, so how can he make His Majesty feel at ease with him?"

When he said this, Yu Chigong couldn't help but sighed, his meritorious service is overwhelming, he, Yu Chigong, also did it after the Xuanwu Gate Change, but unfortunately he is not as smart as Qin Tian, ​​so he was able to know in advance.

Fortunately, the current Holy Master is good, and he didn't make him pay any price.
