Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 152 Unexpected Promotion (One Chapter)
Seeing Li Yuan being so unreasonable, Li Gang blew his beard and stared angrily.

Pei Ji coughed and said, "Your Majesty, after Wei Huo, there is no one who can compare to others!"

Li Yuan couldn't bear to look directly at all the ministers in the hall.Li Yuan sighed leisurely: "I made a mistake!"

If the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, it is really called Jinkou Yuyan.Even if the emperor said something wrong, that wrong became right.Because the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all unscrupulous counselors and softies.

Li Gang nodded solemnly, with a look of "children can be taught" in his eyes.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Yuan quickly raised another topic: "Discuss merits, discuss rewards!"

Those who have made great achievements must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. This is the real reason why Tang Jun can be invincible.If a dynasty really reaches the point where it does not reward its meritorious deeds and does not punish its faults, it will basically live to the end.Millions of Qin troops swept across the six countries and unified the world.However, in the later stage, they lost consecutive battles, and their performance was disappointing.

It's not that the Qin army has become weaker, nor is it that the enemy has become stronger.It was because the second emperor acted recklessly, destroyed the farming and warfare system of the Great Qin Empire, and destroyed the Qin State's [-]th-rank noble system.Zhang Han, the Shaofu, armed the army with Lishan torture, and took freedom as the reward goal. It can be said that he recast the soul of the Qin army. However, the second generation Hu Hai refused to fulfill his promise.The second generation broke the trust of the Lishan prisoner, and the Lishan prisoner made the second generation lose his country.

Li Yuan, who is familiar with history, attaches great importance to the issue of rewards, which is why the Tang Empire became stronger as it fought.However, at this time, the problem came again.

Chen Ying defeated the Turks in four successive battles, beheaded nearly [-] people, captured more than [-] people, and even killed Shibi Khan. How to reward is a big problem.

Chen Ying was so capable, Li Jiancheng was also very happy as the recommender, and he showed his face.Finally, in terms of military merits, Li Shimin was not alone.

Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Ying is too young, and now he is a senior official of the fourth rank. If he is rewarded again, it may not be a good thing for him!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Prince, in your opinion, how should this Chen Ying be rewarded?" "

"If you can't reward an official, then give it a noble!" Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Ying is now the uncle of Xiuwu County, then he should be promoted to the sixth-class Xiuwu County Marquis, with a thousand households in Shiyi. Give him a thousand and five years of Yongyetian Hundred acres!"

Although Li Yuan was upset that Li Jiancheng stretched his hand too far, it was undeniable that Li Jiancheng had a public heart and acted fairly.He didn't favor Chen Ying because he was his disciple.To say that the only exception is the granting of an extra [-] acres of land.Chen Ying was the sixth-class founder of the county, and he was regarded as the second rank. According to the system, he should be given [-] acres of Yongye farmland, but Li Jiancheng mentioned [-] acres.

Is one hundred mu of land much?
If it is less, it is quite a lot, but if it is compared with Chen Ying's credit, it is really not much.

However, just when Li Yuan was about to ask Chu Suiliang to draw up the decree, Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is inappropriate!"

Li Jiancheng bowed and said, "Master Li, what do you think should be done?"

Li Gangdao: "In ancient times, there was Gan Luo who was Shangqing at the age of 12, and Huo Qubing who was named the champion at the age of 17. He had [-] households in the city, and his official residence was Xiaoyao Xiaowei. The third-rank general, the champion Hou Dangde, why not General Chen?"

Pei Ji also said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"

"The ministers wait for a second opinion!" Seeing Li Gang's appearance, all the ministers stood up to support Chen Ying.

Li Yuan naturally had Li Yuan's considerations, and Chen Yingbei defeated the Turks in a big way, which can be said to be very satisfying.At the same time, it also allowed those with a heart to spread the rumor that Li Yuan was a Turkic vassal.Chen Ying's unintentional actions made Li Yuan extremely happy.

Even though Li Yuan was the Ninth Five-Year Supreme at this time, Turkic Yehu Mohe, at most, was equivalent to the prince of the Tang Dynasty. When he saw him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, instead of kneeling down, he was arrogant and arrogant.This made Li Yuan very dissatisfied.

Rewarding Chen Ying heavily is actually more beneficial to Li Yuan.Chen Ying is like a horse bone, he can play a very good role in attracting heroes from all over the world to be used by Li Yuan.

Li Gang's meaning is very clear. Chen Ying is not an important official, and there is no reward, so he can only add a title. At this time, there is no conflict between adding an official and giving a title.

In fact, Li Yuan thinks about it too. The news of Chen Ying's defeat of the Turks has already been spread to the world with Lubu. As time goes by, Wang Shichong of Luoyang, Dou Jiande of Hebei, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and other separatist forces will all know the news.At this time, Chen Ying was like a news headline in the later world, and any actions about Chen Ying would fall into the eyes of those who cared.

If it is not fair, there is no guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to cause trouble.You must know that not only the Datang family suffered from the Turks, but also Dou Jiande from Hebei. However, in comparison, Dou Jiande is stronger and has a cohesive territory. Unlike the three enclaves of the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to be disconnected. All were broken.

If Chen Ying is not rewarded heavily, Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong will definitely not be stingy with generous rewards.

In fact, Li Yuan really thought too much at this time, even if Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong gave Chen Ying a prince, he would not seek refuge with Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan said: "Prince, with Chen Ying's merits, how can we be promoted?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Then the honorary officer will be increased to the third rank, and the ninth rank to the general (in the tenth year of Zhenguan, the rank of the honorary officer of the [-]th rank will be changed to the upper guard and the guard respectively! General Wuwei."

Left and Right Wuwei is a very special existence among the twelve guards. His defense area is actually Chang'an City, which is responsible for the palace ban. If you compare Left and Right Wuwei to the Beijing Military Region of later generations, then General Youwu is almost equal to the Beijing Military Region's entry into the Standing Committee deputy.

"Inappropriate!" Li Yuan overturned Li Jiancheng's opinion without hesitation.

The reason is very simple, Li Yuan will never hand over his security guard work to one of the prince's disciples.

Li Gang also said: "It's not right!"

Pei Ji said: "Not right!"

Liu Wenjing said, "Inappropriate!"

Li Shimin said: "It's not right!"

Li Yuan's fault was because he was worried about Chen Ying, while Li Gang's fault was that Chen Ying was originally a stinging tiger, how could he be a watchdog?Pei Ji's fault was that he was worried that Li Jiancheng would use Chen Ying's hand to control the Youwuwei Army, which would be detrimental to Li Yuan.And Liu Wenjing's inappropriateness was purely due to different factions who opposed it.

Li Shimin's inappropriateness is mainly consistent with Li Gang's opinion. Since Chen Ying has won consecutive victories against the Turks, he should not return to Chang'an at this time, but defend the border of Lingzhou for the Tang Dynasty.

It would be fine if Li Jiancheng didn't mention Chen Ying's return to Chang'an, but he couldn't let Li Yuan come back if he mentioned Li Yuan.

In the end, Li Yuan made a final decision: "Shangqi Duwei, Xiuwu County Bo, Zhongwu General, and Youwei led Chen Yingjia as a general, conferring Marquis of Wugong County, [-] households in Shiyi, and one Yongyetian. Thousands of five hundred acres, promote him to be the general manager of Lingzhou! Jurisdiction over Shengzhou, Huazhou, Xiazhou, Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, and Fengzhou six prefectures and six military mansions!"
