Chapter 613 Reward and Punishment

After Su Wei and Zhou Xu left.

Du Yan, eldest grandson Anshi, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Xue Deyin, Duan Da and more than a dozen people came together. These people are Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and the former demoted officials. Some of them were appointed or not.Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan were by his side.

Now that Li Chongjiu summoned them in Qianyang Hall, he decided the future fate of these ten people.

"Du Yan, I heard that you are the uncle of Du Ruhui, a counselor in the Qin Palace, right?"

Du Yan was shocked when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, Du Ruhui and I are at odds. Although I am for his uncle, the two families have long been at odds. Otherwise, Du Ruhui's brother Du Chuke would not be remanded in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu turned around to look at Ji Chuan and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Ji Chuan said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Chongjiu asked: "How is the relationship between brothers Du Chuke and Du Ruhui?"

Du Yan said immediately: "It's very harmonious. Du Ruhui grew up studying with his elder brother since he was a child, and the two have a very good friendship. Your Majesty wants to use his elder brother to persuade Du Ruhui to surrender? I can help you."

Li Chongjiu didn't speak, looked at Xue Deyin and said, "What do you think, Xue Deyin?"

Xue Deyin was taken aback, he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Li Shimin employs people without any doubt, and if he doubts that he does not use them, he usually undresses his subordinates. Divorce is not easy."

Xue Deyin's words were neither soft nor hard, which made Li Chongjiu frown slightly.He said: "I heard that the young talents of the Xue family in Hedong are also called Sanfeng. Besides you, your clan brother Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing are all working under Li Shimin's command, right?"

Xue Deyin glanced at Li Chongjiu and said, "Exactly, this matter is well known."

"What if I want you to persuade them to surrender?"

Xue Deyin said: "I will definitely try my best, but I don't have much hope."

Hearing what Xue Deyin said, everyone was sweating for him.

Li Chongjiu was silent for a while and said: "Deyin, you are an honest person, okay, I heard that you are good at military calligraphy, and I intended to keep you by my side as a member of Zhongshu, but your elder brother Xue Shilang is already in Zhongshu. Serving in the Ministry of Education, I will entrust you to go to the Ministry of Education to serve as the fifth grade in the matter."

Xue Deyin was taken aback when he heard this, and said immediately: "Your Majesty, I am a guilty minister, and I have no merit..."

Li Chongjiu said: "Don't doubt my vision of seeing people. Mr. Xue Shilang of Zhongshu Province has recommended you to me many times. Don't disappoint his high expectations for you."

Xue Deyin bowed down gratefully.

Li Chongjiu looked at Du Yan again and said: "Du Yan, you have served Wang Shichong for several years, and you have served Wang Shichong for several years, but you have served Zheng Guo several times as an envoy to Zhao, and you are respectful to me. I will not be too harsh For you, you were Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Wang Shichong, and you will be demoted to me as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the fourth rank."

When Du Yan heard that Li Chongjiu was actually awarded an official to him, his expression of joy was even better than that of Xue Deyin, and he immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty Long En, don't think about the past mistakes of this humble minister, let me give you a chance to serve your majesty, my humble minister You must repay the work of a dog and a horse."

Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard this, stood up from the dragon chair, stepped forward to help Du Yan up and said, "I have written down what Du Shilang said."

Du Yan is different from Xue Deyin. Xue Deyin came from the Xue family in Hedong. Brother Xue Wanshu wrote to Li Chongjiu many times, asking him to spare Xue Deyin's life.Therefore, Li Chongjiu wants to give face to Xue's brothers, so he is kind to him.

As for Du Yan, he came from Jingzhao Du family.Jingzhao Du's family, like Webster's, are both great lords in Guanzhong. Chang'an often says that Wei Du in the south of the city and Qu Tian Chi Wu are the Wei and Du families. Except for the relatives of Daibei nobles who have Xianbei blood, the Guanlong nobles are Han people. Among them, Du and Wei are the most famous.Li Chongjiu pardoned Du Yan in order to win over Jingzhao Du's family, even if he couldn't win over, it was to convey goodwill.

After hearing this, Du Yan said, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to report to Your Majesty."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Let's talk."

Du Yan said: "Wei Nizi, the concubine of the false Crown Prince Wang Xuanying, came from Webster in Guanzhong. After Wang Xuanying was put to death, this girl was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Wei Nizi also has a cousin, Wei Gui, who was the former Minister of the Household Department who participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Li Zixiong's daughter-in-law, after Li Zixiong's father and son were killed, Wei Gui defected to Naijie, and now they are also imprisoned together. Both of these two women are beautiful, and more importantly, their status in the Wei family is very prominent. If your majesty intends to marry The Wei family can accept them, or negotiate with the Wei family with their two daughters to reach a condition that is beneficial to my great Zhao."

Hearing what Du Yan said, Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered Wei Gui. In another time and space history, both Wei Nizi and Li Shimin were concubines, especially Wei Gui, who was named a noble concubine, second only to the eldest grandson empress.Of course, looking at it from another angle, it can also be seen that Li Shimin's taste is not only for wife control, but also for sisters.

Du Yan persuaded himself to accept Wei Gui, Wei Nizi, and Li Chongjiu had no such idea, Yang Ehuang and Li Zhiwan were no longer in the same harem, so a few more would add to the chaos.However, the value of these two women is extraordinary. In history, Li Shimin married Er Wei after Luoyang was conquered, and the purpose was to win over Wei Shimin in Guanzhong.

After Li Chongjiu appointed Du Yan as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the other party immediately reciprocated and provided him with such valuable news.

Li Chongjiu patted Du Yan on the shoulder and said, "I know." Seeing this, Du Yan withdrew happily.

Li Chong awarded Du Yan nine times, and Xue Deyin became an official, which made the people around him very envious.

In particular, Changsun Anshi bowed his head. He was granted an internal historical order by Wang Shichong, traveled to Zhao State with Du Yan, and was the son of Changsun Chi, the famous general who defeated Tuyuhun.The eldest grandson Anshi believed that the eldest grandson's family was also a noble relative of the Guanlongmen clan, so it was more valuable to win over.

However, Li Chongjiu looked at his eldest grandson Anshi with a slightly cold expression.Li Chongjiu didn't have a good impression of the eldest grandson's family. He shot and killed the eldest grandson Shunde back then, and he had already formed a relationship. As far as he knew, the eldest grandson Wuji regarded himself as an enemy, and the eldest grandson Wugou was Li Shimin's concubine. I have offended my eldest grandson's family long ago.

Li Chongjiu said coldly: "Eldest grandson Anshi, you served Wang Shichong, flattered Wang Xuanying, and were quite disrespectful to me when you were on an envoy to our country. I don't want to keep you by my side, so go to Liaodong in vain."

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Anshi's expression changed, he did not expect this result.

But the guards in the hall did not wait for the other party to explain, and dragged the eldest grandson Anshi out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this!"

The officials in the hall couldn't help feeling sorry.

Li Chongjiu looked at the crowd and said: "I have clear grievances and grievances. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Where is Duan Da?"

Duan Da tremblingly stepped forward and said, "The guilty minister is here."

Li Chongjiu looked at Duan Da and said: "You are also a veteran who has served the Sui Dynasty for many years, and the court ordered you to pacify the Define Army, and you were defeated in every battle. You were laughed at as Mr. Chen, and Wang Shichong usurped the throne back then. As. Although you have no great evil, you are just mediocre. I don’t want to be a vegetarian, so you don’t have to stay by my side, go back to your hometown to retire.”
