Man Tanghong

Chapter 850

Wei Zheng had no choice but to get angry, and the other ministers of civil and military affairs spoke up. It was impossible to keep Li Gang. They wished him to leave quickly, so how could they come up with an idea to let him stay.

Therefore, the ministers of civil and military affairs rushed to the direction of conferring Li Gang's position as soon as they opened their mouths. As for the matter of retaining Li Gang, they only mentioned it, did not say much, and were not interested in discussing it in depth.

Under the discussion of the civil and military ministers, the reward for Li Gang was quickly determined.

Jia Taishi, Jia Shizhong, Jin Guogong, and Yin Qi's grandson Li Anren were the governors of Dushui, and they were granted the power of Kaifu Yitong and the three divisions.

Among them, Jiataishi, Jiashizhong, and Cikaifuyitong are all honorary awards.

Jin Guogong and Yin Qi's grandson Li Anren were the actual rewards for the Dushui Supervisor.

After all, there are many people in Datang who have been awarded the position of servant and the power of opening the government and the third division, but there are only two princes who have really held the power of servant, and only two princes who have actually opened the mansion , other people can think about it.

It is impossible to really hold the power of servants, and it is impossible to really open the mansion.

After all, those who hold the power of servants in Datang are qualified to command all officials in Datang. Apart from the direct lineage of the royal family, Datang cannot allow other people to get involved in this power.

The opening of the mansion is similar. After the opening of the mansion, not only will there be a large number of subordinate officials ranked around the fifth rank, but they can also appoint officials of the sixth rank and below on their own, and they can also establish a commanding army mansion.

And a commanding army mansion can control three thousand soldiers.

The person with the highest quota for opening a mansion can open eight mansions and control [-] soldiers.

Is this the number of soldiers and horses that a courtier can control?

Is this a power that a courtier can grasp?

Even thinking about it, it is impossible.

Therefore, the right to open the mansion granted to Li Gang was only in name. Li Gang Yao didn't know what to do, and if he really ran to open the mansion, then he would not be far away from Liang.

Li Gang is not a stupid person, it is impossible to commit such stupidity.

Therefore, most of the rewards negotiated by the civil and military ministers for him are honorary.

There are actually only two.

Among them, Jin Li Gang is the Duke of the State, which does not mean that Li Gang is made the Duke of the State, but Li Gang's original title of Duke of the State is elevated one level higher.

Although the Duke of the Kingdom is already the highest title that non-royal members of the Tang Dynasty can obtain.

But among the princes of the state, there are also three, six, and nine grades.

One is to look at the title, and the other is to look at the fief.

However, those with relatively remote titles, relatively remote fiefdoms, and relatively few are all low-ranking dukes.

The highest-ranking dukes have relatively recent titles, and those who can be qualified to be kings, but those in power do not want to be kings, can also get many titles with special meanings.

Such as Jin, Qin and other titles.

Once someone is awarded such a title, he will definitely be ranked first among the Dukes of the country.

Because Jin is the place where the Tang Dynasty prospered, and Qin was the place where the Tang Dynasty was crowned a great treasure, which has special significance for the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, anyone who can obtain this title is also the most honorable person under the king in Datang.

However, these two titles, whether it is Li Yuan or Li Yuanji, cannot be given to outsiders.

Those who can get these two titles can only be members of the Li family, and they must be of the direct blood.

For example, when Li Yuan is still in power, if there is a fourth generation of Li's direct descendants, and they are deeply favored by Li Yuan, they will have the opportunity to obtain these two titles.

After all, whether it is the land of Longxing or the land of the Great Treasure, it is impossible for the Li family to be granted to outsiders.

Other dynasties did not do this, unless the brain was kicked by a donkey.

Therefore, what the ministers of civil and military affairs mean is to promote Li Gang's previous title to the Duke of the State, and to increase the fiefdom to nine hundred households. This is already the limit of the fiefdoms that the Duke can obtain. Done.

Although the ministers of civil and military affairs don't mind helping Li Gang get some benefits, but that requires Li's consent.

The king should not be humiliated lightly, and the treatment enjoyed by the king is naturally impossible to be violated by other titles.

Of course, if Li Gang is in Bintian now, that's another story.

Chasing after a county king is no problem.

After all, a dead king with a different surname cannot challenge the authority of other princes, and the Li family will maintain the greatest kindness towards the dead and hard-working courtiers of the Li family.

However, this is obviously impossible.

Li Gang is still alive and well.

Given his contribution to Datang and his current status, no one dared to blatantly hope for his death.

As for the enfeoffment of Li Gang to Yu County, which is far away in Hebei Province, it is not as close to Chang'an as Li Gang's previous fiefdom, which sounds like an open seal.

This is not the case.

The reason why Li Gang was sealed so far away in Yu County was because Li Gang's ancestral home was in Yu County.

It is a great honor to seal Li Gang in his ancestral home.

Li Gang, as well as the clansmen in Yu County, can grow rapidly by leveraging on the original foundation in Yu County.

Those who are not aristocratic families can use this to build the foundation of aristocratic families, and after three or five generations, they will surely become aristocratic families.

Those who have already become aristocratic families can still use this as a foundation to make the aristocratic family even stronger.

So this reward sounds like an open seal, but it actually gave the Li family of Yu County a great benefit, and gave the Li family of Yin County the foundation of a family.

Li Gang was not in the Tai Chi Hall, so when his reward was finalized, it was his second son Li Liyan who received the reward on his behalf.

As for his eldest son, the official is too young to enter the Taiji Hall and participate in this kind of meeting.

After Li Gang's second son, Li Liyan, received the thank-you reward on his behalf, Li Yuanji immediately ordered the Sheren Yuan to draft an edict, and ordered Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Deliang, the new king, to go to Li's mansion to announce the edict in person.

Although Li Gang's son had received the decree on his behalf, those who should be rewarded should still be rewarded.

This kind of thing has to be known not only by civil and military ministers, but also by the common people.

Wei Zheng decided to impeach Yang Miaoyan and Li Xiuning again after discussing the reward for Li Gang.

It's just that he was blocked in front by the fellows of the House of Scholars, and he didn't find a chance before going down to court, so he could only return to Yushitai dejectedly.

"I told you earlier that those two are not so easy to impeach. As soon as you open your mouth, His Royal Highness Yong will definitely block you back. Now you have not opened your mouth, and His Royal Highness Yong blocked you. Now Should you give up?"

In Yushitai.

As soon as Wang Gui entered the door, he saw Wei Zheng sitting there frowning, and immediately said with emotion.

Wei Zheng raised his head, stared at Wang Gui firmly and said, "One of them put on a king's car, and the other put on a princess's appearance, and they ran together to bully a widow who had no husband and no children to rely on. It's too much bullying. I can't do it." Impeach them?"

Wang Gui walked to his seat, flicked his sleeves and sat down, sighing: "As far as I know, there is something inside this matter..."

Before Wang Gui could finish speaking, Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said, "I don't care what their inside story is. It's wrong to bully others like this. If you don't impeach them, let them realize their mistakes, and if they do it again in the future, they will not be bullied to death." Those who are inferior to them?"

Wang Gui opened his mouth and said a few words of persuasion, but when the words reached his lips, they turned into deep sighs, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Why do you say you are bothering?
You clearly know that they not only have a strong identity and background, but also have a person with a stronger identity and background behind them.

If you insist on impeaching them, don't you just find yourself guilty? "

Wei Zheng puffed up his chest, and said with firm eyes: "As a minister, we just want to help the ruler's gains and losses. They are also regarded as rulers. If they do something wrong, they should be impeached."

Wang Gui shook his head and said, "That's all, you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't drag me down."

Although Wang Gui's age has not yet reached seventy-eight or ninety years old, but based on the lifespan of the ancients, Wang Gui is also qualified to call himself an old man.

Not only that, the ancients could call themselves old men at the age of 30.

For example, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiaogong who have passed the [-]th threshold can all call themselves old men.

This is mainly because the life expectancy of the ancients was short, and the average age was between 35 years old, so 30 years old is considered to be in old age, so it is not wrong to call yourself an old man.

In addition, the ancients also got married early, a lot of people got married during the 30th and [-]th, and many people had grandchildren at the age of [-].

It is obviously inappropriate for a person who has a grandson to treat himself as a young man, but he is not a long-lived old man, so calling himself an old man is also appropriate.

Therefore, in Datang, under various karmic circumstances, a 30-year-old person is eligible to be called an old man.

Wang Guidu is over 50 years old, and it is not too much to call himself an old man.

Wei Zheng was very dissatisfied with Wang Gui's cowardly rhetoric. When Wang Gui was about to stop talking and start doing things, he couldn't help but said: "I remember that the prince is not the kind of timid person. During the time, he spoke up for justice many times, why did he become timid when it came to this matter?
Could it be that after experiencing the previous changes, he became timid? "

This is a bit sarcastic.

If Wei Zheng didn't have the backing of his wife's aristocratic family, and he wouldn't be appreciated by those in power, he would be criticized for speaking to Shangguan like this.

Wang Gui didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Wei Zheng's words, and his face was indifferent. He couldn't tell the truth to Wei Zheng, saying that he was afraid that that bastard son-in-law would torment him, so he said indifferently, "I'm not I have become timid, and I understand what should be done, what must be done, and what is not necessary to do."

Wei Zheng frowned all of a sudden, he didn't understand the meaning of Wang Gui's words.

What does it mean to understand what should be done, what must be done, and what is not necessary to do? !

"What do you mean by that?"

Wei Zheng stared at Wang Gui and asked.

Wang Guishi said calmly: "We should do the things of seeking the country; we must do the things of supporting the king's gains and losses; we don't have to worry about the family's short-term affairs and women's affairs."

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "But they are not ordinary women! Allowing them to act recklessly will sooner or later make them develop a disgusting feeling of oppressing kindness."
