Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 423
After February, early March.

Li Shimin finally completed the enthronement ceremony.

For any emperor, this is considered a very fast enthronement hall, very luxurious and very lively at the same time.

As if to tell everyone that Li Shimin has ascended the throne.

And just after Li Shimin's enthronement ceremony, Li Shimin sent people to spread the news to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

He needs to let the people of the entire Tang Dynasty know that he, Li Shimin, is the emperor.

In ancient times, the spread of news was slow. Things like this had to be passed down level by level. In some remote places, it might take half a year to know that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had changed.

At the same time as Li Shimin's enthronement ceremony, the eldest grandson crown princess was also canonized as a queen and became the eldest grandson empress.

Tang Rong, as the god-sister of Empress Changsun, was also honored to participate in this grand ceremony.

When seeing this scene, Tang Rong couldn't believe it was real.

She actually became the queen's god-sister, what kind of blessings did she accumulate in her previous life?
She felt it must be so.

Married a good husband and recognized a queen sister.

However, although she was a little excited, Tang Rong also knew that it was not good to be too close to the royal family, so this god-sister should be taken seriously by others, but not by herself.

After following Qin Tian for a long time, Tang Rong also knew a little about such things.

The enthronement ceremony ended, and the next morning, Li Shimin's first early court as emperor really began.

Because it was the emperor's first morning court, all the civil and military officials of the seventh rank and above in Chang'an City came. Besides these, even some officials from other places also attended the morning court.

Before the morning court started, a group of people stood darkly outside the palace. Fortunately, it was late spring, and there was no chill at all. Everyone standing outside felt comfortable and benefited.

After the gate of the palace was opened, hundreds of ministers walked towards the main hall one after another in an orderly manner. Those with titles belonged to the prince, and those with high official positions were eligible to enter the main hall. Those who were below the fourth rank could only enter the main hall. Standing in rows outside the main hall.

Qin Tian was lucky enough to be able to stand inside the main hall, but as a founding magistrate, his title was still too low. Although he stood inside the main hall, he was only one step away from the entrance of the main hall.

Standing here, if it is quiet, he can still hear Li Shimin's words clearly, but if there is a little noise, he can't hear it.

At the beginning of the morning, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and the officials shouted long live, and the voice resounded through the sky.

Li Shimin was also a person who was in the early dynasty, but it is rare to see such an aura like today. This made Li Shimin feel a sense of heroism. This heroism made him want to build the entire Tang Dynasty into a more brilliant future.

At that time, when all nations come to court, the scene must be more grand than this, right?
There was a slight smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth: "Everyone who loves you, the reason why I can become the emperor is that some loves are indispensable, so I want to reward them today."

Once the emperor and the courtiers, everyone knows this situation, so when Li Shimin said this, some people were excited, while some people were a little disappointed, but they quickly calmed down.

The list of rewards has already been written, and the eunuch said one, and one came out to thank him. Qin Tian stood behind, and at first he could clearly hear the names of a few people. Later, those people might be too excited, or some people Feeling that the reward is unfair, discuss it in a low voice.

As a result, there was some noise in the main hall, and Qin Tian wanted to hear it, so he couldn't make it clear.

"Qin Tian, ​​Boss of the Founding County, has meritorious service in protecting the family of the Emperor. He is specially bestowed on the Marquis of the Founding County, with a hundred gold rewards, and his wife, Tang Rong, is also given..."

After the eunuch finished reading in the main hall, he waited for Qin Tian to thank him, but his voice fell, but he didn't see Qin Tian coming out. The eunuch looked a little suspicious, wondering if Qin Tian was dissatisfied with the reward?

On Li Shimin's side, he frowned slightly, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent.

Qin Tian stood behind, a little dazed because he couldn't hear what was said, and didn't know what was going on.

But at this moment, Qin Tian saw Cheng Yaojin waving at him, Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, but still walked over, everyone watched Qin Tian walk over.

And just as he walked over, Cheng Yaojin kicked his ass: "What are you doing, thank you."

Qin Tian still didn't understand what was going on: "Thank you for your kindness?"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, Li Shimin frowned: "Qin Aiqing, are you not satisfied with my reward?"

Qin Tian understood a little bit.

"Your Majesty, I was behind you just now, so I didn't hear you clearly, so I troubled your father-in-law to read it again."

Li Shimin curled his lips, but still asked the eunuch to read it again. After the eunuch finished reading, Qin Tian was very happy to hear that he had become a Marquis, and quickly thanked him.

The titles of Tang Dynasty are divided into nine ranks, and the third rank of Hou Cong in Jianguo County is ranked fifth. There are thousands of households in the city, and many veterans who have fought on the battlefield may not be able to get this title.

Many civil servants, even without major contributions, could not get this title.

I am not very old, it is definitely against the sky to be able to obtain this title, at least in the entire Tang Dynasty, he is the youngest founding county lord.

Above the court, there are many envious people.

"Qin Tian is really good at it. He was conferred the title of Marquis at such a young age."

"No, according to this situation, we may not know how to develop in the future."

"I see, it will be a matter of time before one becomes a Duke or something."

"Young Master, you are capable..."

Everyone murmured in low voices, but Qin Tian retreated after thanking him, because there were too many people who had rewarded him, and he had been reciting for an hour since the early morning, before the reward was finally considered to be over.

Of course, although there are many rewards, there are definitely not many knights, only about [-] people, and the rewards for more people are either promoted or given another vacancies.

Even if Li Shimin wanted to win the hearts of officials in the court, he would not give titles casually.

Except for those who have made great contributions to the dragon, although the old parties of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have not been knighted, their official positions have more or less changed, and most of them have been promoted.

If Li Shimin wants to win over, he will definitely not lose these people.

When these people were promoted, they were so excited that they didn't know what to do. They could only kneel on the ground, crying with gratitude.

After the award was over, we finally discussed some things about Tang Dynasty.

"Holy Majesty, in order to show the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, I propose that the whole world should be amnesty, and anyone who commits minor offenses in prison can have their sentence reduced by one level, or be released from prison."

"Your Majesty, I think that the people in the Tang Dynasty have worked hard, and they should be exempted from their one-year hard labor, which can be implemented in batches..."

After winning over the officials of the DPRK and China, the next step is to win over the people of the Tang Dynasty. These are the usual practices. When Li Shimin and the officials did it, they were very familiar with it.
