Chapter 505 Chapter 516: Five Plays in the Palace
Li Hao just paid his respects to the prime minister, and it went so smoothly that even Li Shimin was surprised. He thought that all the ministers would try their best to oppose it, but he didn't expect that no one made a sound. So Li Shimin felt that the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall today was a bit strange, so why is it so strange? , he couldn't tell.

Just when Li Shimin's thoughts were dark, Li Hao suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, if you have something important to do, please report it. Here is the memorial." After he finished speaking, he held up a stack of memorials with both hands. Everyone was surprised. If the word "fuck" was popular in the Tang Dynasty, the sound of "fuck" would be full of halls, because Li Hao had more than one volume of memorials in his hands. five books.

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, he was also a little confused when he saw so many memorials, but he knew that Li Hao's performances were never trivial, so he hurriedly said: "Submit it!"

Xu Lian stepped down from the Luantai and presented Li Hao's memorabilia. Li Shimin opened the top memoir and was stunned after looking at it twice. Then he opened the next one, which was the memorial to the addition of shipyards and seaports, which was a preparation for the addition of the navy.

Li Shimin has already told Li Hao about these two proposals, and Li Shimin himself put forward them, so that the resistance encountered will be less. Unexpectedly, Li Hao was disobedient and handed in the memorial, which made Li Shimin a little confused .

There are five memorials that Li Hao submitted this time. Li Shimin continued to scroll down. The content of the third memorial was to request that the new tax system be promoted nationwide immediately; Feng Zoushu is to ask for credit, for Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, for Liang Ju, the governor of Youzhou Zhechong, and for the officials of Dali Temple who followed Li Hao to Youzhou to investigate the case.

There is no dragon table on the Luantai of the Taiji Hall, only a dragon chair, Xu Lian is on the side, holding a tray in his hand, and all the memorials are in the tray. Every time Li Shimin reads a book, he puts a copy in the tray .

But every time Li Shimin reads a memo, the hearts of the ministers below lift an inch. Li Hao plays five things in succession, which is obviously going to cause trouble again, and it will be five things at once. Right now, Changsun Wuji has been silent again, No one is in charge of the overall situation, they are very passive, can you not feel uneasy.

Li Shimin finally finished reading the five memorials. This time, the order of the memorials stacked on the tray was reversed. The memorial for reopening the Tiance Mansion was pressed at the bottom, the memorial for impeaching Zhang Liang was at the top, and the memorial for meritorious service was placed on the top. In the hands of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin held the invitation letter in his hand, first glanced at Li Hao, then at the other ministers, and said slowly: "Okay, Li Hao played five things in succession, and today we will discuss these five things, the book in my hand The memorial is Li Hao's request for merit, for Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, for Liangju, the governor of Youzhou Zhechong, for Di Renjie, the chancellor of Dali Temple, for Dayou, the chancellor of Dali Temple, and for the chancellor of Dali Temple. Please give credit to Han Long, as well as to all the officers, soldiers and common people who participated in the defense of Youzhou and sacrificed heroically in the battle of Youzhou!"

At the beginning, Li Shimin's language was calm, but the more he talked, the more excited he became. The Battle of Youzhou was a bloody battle. This battle not only greatly damaged the strength of the foreign races outside the Northeast Pass, but also made them lose all confidence. All the citizens of the Tang Dynasty were excited when they mentioned this matter, let alone the king of his country.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the hall was quiet, and a needle could be heard. The ministers did not expect that Li Hao's first memorial was actually a memorial for meritorious service. This was beyond their expectations. There is nothing wrong with it, but it takes a lot of credit to ask for credit in the palace. They did not participate in the war, so they don't know the credit of these people mentioned by Li Hao, so they have no right to speak.

The hall was quiet for a long time, then Li Shimin said again: "Shikuang, tell me, what achievements do these people have?"

"Yes!" Li Hao bowed his hands in salute, then shook his feather fan lightly, and said slowly, "This matter should start from the battle of Youzhou. The battle of Youzhou lasted two months and eight days. At the beginning, there was only one Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and outside the city there is a coalition of three clans, totaling [-] soldiers and horses. Later, Goguryeo Damolizhi Gaisuwen brought another [-] elite soldiers to join the three clans to form a coalition of four clans, with a total of [-] soldiers. horse."

Hearing this, the ministers were all shocked, 5000 soldiers and horses besieged the city, but only [-] people defended the city. This disparity is not a little big. Although they have long heard that the battle of Youzhou was a victory with few There were many tragic battles, but they have never heard of the specific details. Now when they heard Li Hao talk about the disparity in the strength of the two sides, they were all surprised.

Just listen to Li Hao continuing: "In the first month, the [-] soldiers and horses have been lost to only [-]. Although Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, is not good at military affairs, he has been silently supporting the minister. It was he who persuaded the people to take the initiative to participate in the temporary training, practice bows and arrows for seven days, and go up the city wall to defend against the enemy. Although the strength of the young and strong people is limited, their role cannot be ignored. Life, forcibly kept all the barbarians out of the city walls of Youzhou, and did not allow them to step into the city of Datang. The last battle of the Battle of Youzhou was a desperate fight by the barbarian army. When attacking the city, There were [-] barbarians in the barbarian army. From the morning to the evening, only [-] of the [-] army remained. The city walls have been occupied by them, and our army has less than [-]. They all chanted the slogan of "Long Spears Keep the Soul of the Tang Dynasty Forever". Lieutenant Liang Ju of Youzhou Zhechong beheaded dozens of barbarians by himself, with ten wounds on his body. You don't know it, and the bloody battle is still going on. The governor Sun Bowang also chanted "Long Spears Keep the Soul of the Tang Dynasty forever" ', he personally led tens of thousands of people to the top of the city, took everything available as weapons, and fought with the barbarian army, and lost thousands of people in an instant. Although the casualties were heavy, the barbarians were also shocked. The army, the barbarian army was defeated, and was frightened by the momentum of our people in the Tang Dynasty, so they finally chose to retreat and flee."

Li Hao narrated the battle of Youzhou in concise language, and the hall fell into silence again. Although Li Shimin had already read the detailed military report, he couldn't help the redness of his eyes. Fortunately, he had strong concentration and did not fall Tears come.

Although the ministers like to target Li Hao, they are not confused about right and wrong. They cannot deny this bloody battle, otherwise they will be sinners of Datang.

After a while, Li Hao opened his mouth again to break the silence, saying: "Your Majesty, this battle in Youzhou is by no means the work of a single minister, I hope that your Majesty can reward all those who participated in the battle, as well as ministers such as Sun Bowang and Liang Ju who have made great contributions. "

"En." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Sun Bowang, governor of Youzhou, and Liangju, captain of Zhechong, both of them are loyal and virtuous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and I will reward them generously. However, Shi Kuang, the officials of Dali Temple, what do they have? Credit?"

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, all the officials of Dali Temple also participated in the battle. A dozen of them went, and only three came back. Among them, Dayou, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, still lost an arm in the scuffle and became disabled. Moreover, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple Di Renjie is extremely clever. It was he who helped the minister see through the Youzhou massacre, uncovered the real culprit, and exposed the collusion between Fan Yang Lu and Wei Wang Li Tai. This matter involved Wei Wang, and there was insufficient evidence at the time. , Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Oh..." Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, "Since this is the case, how does Poetry think these people should be rewarded?"

Li Hao held his fan and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, is good at political affairs and neglects military affairs. He is really not suitable for the post of governor of Youzhou. I think he should be transferred back to Chang'an to serve in the Sixth Ministry; Zhechong Capital of Youzhou Wei Liangju is brave, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he is a trustworthy and brave general. Now the post of Juyong Pass guard is vacant, and he can be entrusted with the important task of guarding the pass. All meritorious ministers of Dali Temple can ask Dali Temple Minister to promote him, so that he can be worthy Great use, the rest of the generals who made great contributions in the battle of Youzhou will be rewarded and rewarded by the Secretary, and those who died will be generously sympathized with their families."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words: "Well, this award is safe. Now that there is a vacancy in the official department, Sun Bowang can be transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the servant of the official department, and Liang Ju will be appointed as the general of the Shenwei army. Lieutenant, leading five thousand elite soldiers, guarding Juyongguan. In addition, I have another plan. I want to build a heroic monument in Youzhou. But all the names of those who died in the battle of Youzhou will be engraved on the monument. For future generations to pay tribute to, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is holy!" All the officials saluted together and chanted loudly, Li Hao's request for merit was passed so easily.

Unexpectedly, Li Hao was still not satisfied, and continued: "Your Majesty, I still have a small request."

"Speak!" Li Shimin's voice was high-pitched, and he was also a little excited at the moment. After all, he was a martyr and soldier who made meritorious service to the country, and he was also a little bit infected by passion.

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, fighting for the country is the most glorious thing for every hot-blooded man in the Tang Dynasty. Those who have made contributions to the country and those who have shrouded their bodies in horse leather all have glory, but the most pitiful are those soldiers who lost their hands and feet in the war." , although the imperial court gave them pensions, they suffered for the rest of their lives, and were even reduced to begging on the street because of their disabilities."

Li Shimin frowned slowly when he heard the words, and began to meditate. What Li Hao said was a very real problem. This problem has existed for a long time, but it has not been resolved. It's useless, because after a battle, there are often more disabled people than victims, and the government's compensation for the disabled is already higher than that of the victims. In their view, this is already very unscientific, how can they add more compensation? , but the court's pensions are not enough for the disabled. Some disabled soldiers have lost their ability to work and become a burden to the family. They have an extra mouth to eat, and the family is more difficult than those victims.

Li Shimin frowned for a moment, and asked, "What kind of magic do you have, you might as well tell it and listen."

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, the relief of money and food can only solve temporary difficulties. The relief of farmland, if there is no strong man in the family, how to plant it, too much relief at one time will also cause a great burden to the imperial court. Why not pay the relief in installments, and the water will flow for a long time?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked, "Tell me, how to pay the pension in installments?"

Li Hao shook his feather fan lightly, and said slowly: "This requires a lot of help from the local governments. The official pension documents are issued to the local government offices. All disabled and retired soldiers will go to the local government offices to receive pensions. They can receive food and cloth every month. The population of the family does not need to be too large, it is enough for the family to survive. At the same time, the imperial court documents are issued to the states and counties, posted in the city, and all the wounded soldiers are notified to prevent corrupt officials from embezzlement. Appeal to the original service office, and go straight to Tianting!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this method is very wonderful! Although the total number of pensions has increased, but the flow is steady, poetic mad, I really have you!"
