I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 102 Li Zheng was granted the title of Duke of Rongguo County
  Li Zheng came to Chang'an City for an audience and was even more excited to receive the imperial decree conferring marriage than he was to receive the reward.

because.

He was able to grant marriage by virtue of the imperial edict, and he could be with Wan'er forever, and no one could stop her.

He also fulfilled his promise to Wan'er.

"Father."

"Li Qing has made great achievements, so just granting him a marriage isn't enough, right?"

"My father said at the beginning that after Li Zheng comes to Chang'an, he will be rewarded again."

At this time, Prince Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"correct."

"Sorry, Prince, for reminding me."

"I almost missed something big."

"good."

"That's what we said."

"How do you think the prince should reward you?"

Li Shimin patted his head and followed the words.

"Father, Li Zheng is now the youngest third-grade general in the Tang Dynasty. The more troops he commands, the more his ability to lead troops will be tested. I feel that Li Zheng's official position can not be promoted for the time being and let him serve as a vanguard. Get acquainted with the general’s position.”

"However, I think I can grant Li Zheng a title."

Prince Li Chengqian suggested with a smile.

The words fall.

"A knighthood?"

Many courtiers in the court could not help but look shocked.

Even though the ministers standing in the Tai Chi Hall are all high officials of the current dynasty, there are indeed very few who hold titles. They are either the founding generals of the past, or they inherited the title of their father, such as Qin Jiansheng. Inherited Qin Qiong's position as Protector of the Country.

Even among Zhongshu Sheng and Liubu Shangshu, many of them do not have titles.

This shows how important the title is to courtiers.

because.

Once you are awarded a title, it is different from an official position. A title is a kind of honor, and you can also get the name of a region as a title. In addition to the glory, the most important thing is to get the salary of the title, which is higher than the official position.

As long as the title is there, you can always receive support from the court. If it is hereditary, it can be passed on to your children. This shows what kind of honor this title is.

of course.

In the Tang Dynasty, unlike the Qin and Han Dynasties, even if you were conferred a title, you would not have a fief, only the increase in salary and glory.

and.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a system that was inherited from the Qin and Han Dynasties. No one could be knighted without military merit. This shows how difficult it was for civil servants to obtain knighthoods in the Tang Dynasty.

Except for those founding civil servants, like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who accompanied Li Shimin to conquer the world.

What kind of achievements do civil servants today have to make in order to be awarded a title?

Hear what Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"The prince's proposal is good."

"In that case."

"Then give Li Qing a title."

"I think we should make a hereditary Rongguo County Duke."

After Li Shimin thought for a moment, he decided directly.

"Li Qing, why don't you thank me quickly?"

Li Chengqian winked at Li Zheng.

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

Li Zheng immediately knelt down and thanked him.

Duke of Rongguo County.

Above the Hou, Bo, Zi and Nan, and only below the Founding Duke, he is a proper second-grade title.

Moreover, this Rongguo County Duke is hereditary, which is much better than the uncle's barony that cannot be inherited hereditary, because as long as it is passed down, the descendants will have no worries. After having the title, they are no longer ordinary people at all, but It can be called a scholar.

and.

Li Zheng, a pioneer general, was able to obtain the title of Duke, which was not inherited from his father's generation. This is a supreme honor.

"Being awarded the title of Duke of Rongguo, passed down from generation to generation, has completely changed the class and reached the level of nobles, which is only one level lower than the founding Duke."

"The sixteen-year-old General Guide, the sixteen-year-old Duke of Rongguo."

"Well, if only my son were that good."

"Hereditary Duke, it's really irritating to compare one person to another..." Hearing about this hereditary Duke, many of the courtiers looked at Li Zheng with envy.

"I don't know if there will be any reward for making me a hereditary county prince."

What Li Zheng was thinking about at the moment was the reward.

There are rewards for promotion to official positions. I don't know if this title is available. After all, this is the first time he has been awarded a title.

"Li Zheng has been granted the title of hereditary Duke. Do the ministers have any objections?"

Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and asked.

"The minister has no objection."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All civil and military officials in the dynasty spoke up.

Li Shimin was so happy because the prince personally proposed it. Moreover, Li Zheng had indeed made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He was not awarded a reward, but only a title for such great achievements. How could they dare to object, even if they were dissatisfied with Li Zheng? Zheng, jealous of Li Zheng, even if he stood up, he couldn't explain the reason.

"So, let's make a decision."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, stopped talking about anything, and looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:

"Do you still have the original memorial? If you don't have the original memorial, then let's disperse the court."

"Father."

"You forgot one more thing."

Prince Li Chengqian smiled.

"What else?"

Li Shimin looked puzzled.

"Li Zheng has just been granted the title of Duke of Rongguo, and the former General Guide's Mansion does not seem to match."

"Li Qing has just arrived in Chang'an. If he doesn't secure the residence of the county prince, is it possible that he will allow the heroes of the Tang Dynasty to live in the post house?"

Li Chengqian laughed dumbly.

"exactly."

"If you didn't tell me, we would have almost forgotten."

Li Shimin patted his head and immediately came back to his senses.

"Prince, after you go to court, let someone choose a better mansion in the city and give it to Li Qing, as well as thirty maids and thirty attendants."

Li Shimin said directly.

"My son, I accept the decree."

Li Chengqian bowed to receive the order.

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

Li Zheng also bowed to express his thanks.

There is a mansion in Chang'an City, which can be regarded as having a home in the capital. After returning to the military camp, if Wan'er wants to stay in Chang'an, she can stay in Chang'an, and if she wants to return to Jinyang, she can go back to Jinyang.

This is a great thing.

"Do you still have this memorial? If not, then let's disperse the court."

Li Shimin waved his hand and didn't bother to ask.

The most important thing today has been done, and he has nothing else to deal with.

"I will send you to Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials in the court bowed down to see Li Shimin off.

It wasn't until Li Shimin's figure completely left the Tai Chi Hall that the ministers stood up straight.

The court will be separated.

Immediately, some courtiers came towards Li Zheng, especially Wei Zheng, the admonishing doctor and attendant, who had applauded Li Zheng when Li Zheng told his story.

He walked quickly towards Li Zheng, fearing that others would get there first.

"Wei Zheng has met General Li."

Wei Zheng came to Li Zheng and immediately saluted with his hands and fists.

Wei Zheng, the most famous remonstrator in history, was regarded by Li Shimin as a mirror of himself.

Upon hearing Wei Zheng's name, Li Zheng looked at the minister in front of him in a daze.

It’s okay not to let Li Zheng remember this name!
  In later generations, his reputation was too loud.

"I've met Mr. Wei."

Looking at the Wei Zheng in front of him, he looks resolute and has a lot of drive. He is indeed the material to be a remonstrator.

The look in his eyes was very hot, as if he had met a close friend.
