Chapter 167 Dividing the Cake 2
"Xiao Yu, seal off three hundred households..."

"Chen Shuda, Doctor Jiashou Guanglu..."

"Gao Jian, the Duke of Yixing County in Jin Dynasty, granted [-] households, and promoted him to be a provincial servant..."

"Changsun Wuji, the Duke of Jin Qi, sealed [-] households, and changed them to the Minister of Rites..."

"..."

In fact, this meeting is to divide the cake. In the end, Li Shimin's, or those who are worth wooing, will get benefits.

Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Yuwen Shiji and others were already high-ranking and powerful, but this time they only added real seals, and their titles and official positions did not change.

The eldest grandson Wuji was the one who made the most profits. He became the Duke of Qi in one step, and he surpassed all the people to reach [-] households, which can be said to be rare in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Later, Guo Ziyi, known as the great savior of the Tang Dynasty, was crowned king, and there were only a few hundred households that were actually sealed.Leading troops to fight a big victory is only to increase the seal of dozens of households.It can be seen how high the gold content of Changsun Wuji's [-] households is.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one honorable person in Datang at this time.

Of course, no one objected to his award.The status of the queen's own brother and relative.He has been running for Li Shimin and is the emperor's most trusted person. Everyone thinks this award is normal.

Originally, the cake distribution conference was over, but Li Shimin unexpectedly issued another order that surprised everyone:

"Jin Peiju is the Duke of the Dao State, and five hundred households are actually sealed."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what the emperor meant.Most of the loyalists who rewarded Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were excluded this time.

For example, Pei Ji and Samurai Xun had no titles as prime ministers, so they were not invited to this conference, and naturally they were not included in the rewards.

Pei Ju was Li Jiancheng's confidant and he was too old to be worth reforming, so he was also excluded.I don't know why Li Shimin suddenly changed his mind.

Is it because he persuaded the generals in the Prince's Mansion to surrender during the Xuanwumen Incident?But at that time, the overall situation was settled, and the credit for persuading surrender was greatly discounted, and it was not worth a prince at all.

I didn't understand what the emperor meant, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.In the end, it was Changsun Wuji who came forward and said:

"I don't know the saint..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted: "The division of the Turks is an immortal achievement, and it cannot be erased just because of the change of dynasty. He deserves the position of Duke."

With a happy face, Xiao Yu stood up and said, "The sage is wise."

Chen Shuda also said: "The meritorious service was divided into Turks, and it became known as the map of the Western Regions. Duke Pei is well-deserved as the Duke of the State."

Although the others were wondering what Li Shimin was doing at this time and why he suddenly brought up the matter of dividing the Turks, they didn't say anything more seeing his firm attitude.

So far, the transfer plan involving hundreds of people has been finalized.And Yue Shan's name did not appear on this list, as if everyone had forgotten him.

The list is confirmed and not yet complete, and official seals and official uniforms must be made, imperial edicts written, etc. It is estimated that it will not be announced within ten days and a half months.

At the end of the meeting, the bosses left one after another, and Li Shimin finally had time to see Yue Shan and Jing Junhong.

After seeing the ceremony, Li Shimin asked, "Did you two come here together?"

"Yes." Yue Shan replied.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

"We came to see His Majesty for two things. The first thing is that I have written the copybook His Majesty asked for." After speaking, Yue Shan took out the copybook from his sleeve.

A wrestler stepped forward to take it and handed it to Li Shimin, who couldn't wait to open it and look through it.

Ten thoughts?

What is this, haven't you seen it?Look at this name, could it be his Shangshu?Li Shimin immediately became curious.He didn't doubt Yue Shan's talent at all, but was very curious about what Shi Sishu wrote.

As for the font... well written.But for those who are good at calligraphy, it is only good.The only thing that catches the eye is the unique font.

All elders who seek trees must strengthen their roots... After reading the previous few sentences, Li Shimin finally confirmed that this is what Yue Shan is admonishing himself-be prepared for danger in times of peace, avoid extravagance and be frugal.

But... I'm not extravagant at all, okay?Li Shimin felt wronged.

I have just become emperor, and I am ambitiously preparing to do a big business, so it is not extravagant at all.What do you mean by such a memorial?
Li Shimin glared at Yue Shan, then lowered his head and continued to look - don't say, the literary talent is good, look at what is written later.

At this time, Li Shimin didn't pay attention to the font instead, and was more curious about what was written later.

But when he saw the middle part, his eyes became a little suspicious. As a calligraphy lover, how could he fail to see the mystery inside.

Although the fonts in the first half and the middle part are exactly the same, the middle part is far superior to the first half in terms of strength and smoothness of the pen.Was this really written by one person?

The more you look back at his expression, the more surprised you are. When you saw the second half, you were shocked.

Was this really written by Yue Shan?Not only did he think so in his heart, but he also said it out of his mouth.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough." Yue Shan was self-confident on the surface, but in fact he was a group of embarrassing people.Not to mention anything else, just relying on this handwriting, we can also be famous in history.

In Li Shimin's heart, there is envy, jealousy and hatred. I have been practicing calligraphy for so long and haven't touched the edge of "God". How old are you? How old are you?God is blind.

What is the difference between calligraphy masters and ordinary people?Ordinary people do not have a "god" in writing, but masters have a "god" in writing, and the key lies in a divine character.

The first half of Yueshan's font can only be said to be more beautiful, because there is no spirit, and the second half can be said to have form and spirit, far surpassing countless people.

Of course, envy, jealousy and hatred are just a joke, Li Shimin really couldn't believe it and was ecstatic.

With a calligrapher like this by his side, wouldn't he want as many copybooks as he wants in the future?Why don't you let him copy all the Four Books and Five Classics as collections?
If Yue Shan knew what he was thinking, he would regret it and want to wipe his neck.

Jing Junhong also looked at Yue Shan in surprise. Although he didn't see the copybook, he could tell what Li Shimin meant.The word that can surprise even the emperor must not be simple.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a child of a fairy, that is, he is amazing.

Li Shimin read this copybook over and over again, wishing he could start copying it right away.

But Yue Shan didn't want to wait like this, it's secondary for him to come here today to deliver the copybooks, and getting him to report to the new academy is the main thing.

So he coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask you when I come here today."

"Tell me, what's the matter." Li Shimin said without raising his head.From that point of view, even if Yue Shan asked for a princess as his wife, he would agree.

"I want to open another academy to teach the skills of leading an army in battle," Yue Shan said.

The army has always been the most important thing for those in power. Li Shimin finally pulled his eyes out of the copybook when he heard that Yue Shan wanted to teach students how to lead troops in battle.

He looked at Yue Shan and then at Jing Junhong, showing an expression of sudden realization: "Your academy is not recruiting the children of Yuan Cong's forbidden army, is it?"
