Wentang

Chapter 522
Yue Shan also participated in this meeting, but he did not speak and remained invisible throughout.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk, but that he doesn't know what to say in this situation, and the memories from his previous life are no longer applicable.

Make plans for the next step based on the actual situation, and this group of elites from Datang will do better than him.

And this is also a good opportunity to observe and learn. Usually, these old foxes hide more and more evil one by one. Chatting with them is cloudy and foggy for a long time, and they can't say a useful word.

In this kind of meeting, no one dared to play charades, they would just say what they had in a concise and concise way, and Yue Shan could learn a lot through their way of thinking.

Li Shimin also guessed what he was thinking, and didn't ask him to speak by name.

Soon, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty reached a consensus on the Turkic affairs, allowing them to maintain division and turmoil, and start to resolve it after the disaster in Guanzhong.

Then there is the matter of awarding meritorious persons. The Ministry of Education finally came up with a specific suggestion for awarding meritorious service.

It was also brought up for discussion today, and after some details were revised, a version was finalized, which will be approved by the court meeting tomorrow.

Everyone knows that tomorrow's court meeting is just a formality, and today's small meeting will make the real decision.

Yue Shan paid a little attention to the list of rewards. Xi Junmai decided to confer the titles of County Duke, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang as Marquis, Sloppy (Ma Datou) as County Male, and dozens of others.

Jing Hengyan did not appear on the knighthood list.The reason is very simple, he is the eldest son who wants to inherit the title of Duke of Shangyu County, and he won't be awarded the second title if he didn't make great achievements.

Otherwise, there will be a situation of one school and two nobles.

There are only a handful of nobles in one school, and there are only a handful of them in the history books. Jing Hengyan's credit is not enough for that qualification.If he captured Xieli alive this time, there was still a slight possibility.

Not to mention Jing Hengyan, how many credits Yue Shan has made, now Li Shimin dare not give him a reward, all the credits that belong to him are awarded to Li Lizhi.

The favor was only given to Yue Shanniang and not to his father, Yue Laosi.

Men's titles can be passed on, and Yue Shan is the only son, so ennobling Yue Lao Si will inevitably result in a double title.The woman's title cannot be passed on, and the title will be automatically canceled when Yue Shanniang dies.

From this we can see how difficult it is to have two nobles in one school.

Closer to home.

War is indeed the easiest thing to break the boundaries of identity, and dozens of nobles were born in one battle.But it is also cruel enough. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 10 people have died in this battle.

Therefore, these people's status as powerful and powerful people are all fighting for their lives, and they deserve to be respected.

Four days later, Wanqi escorted Jieli to the capital, accompanied by countless trophies, captured Turkic nobles, generals, and chiefs who voluntarily surrendered, etc. The huge team stretched for more than ten miles.

The prime ministers Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others led all the civil and military officials out of the city for thirty miles to meet them.The people of Chang'an City lined the road to welcome them, shouting "Long Live the Tang Dynasty".

Parading horses through the streets is the biggest dream of every heroic man, and at this moment it has become a reality, and the soldiers of Datang are all very excited.

The surrendered Ashina Simo, Zhishisili and others were dejected, while the captured Xieli and others were ashamed and angry.

When they came to the gate of the imperial city, Li Shimin greeted them personally at Chengtian Gate and announced that they would reward those who have made great achievements.

Then there was the offering of captives from the Taimiao. In addition to civil and military officials and meritorious men, the imperial court also invited envoys from various vassal states, the intention is self-evident.

Even the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, who had not shown his face for a long time, appeared in splendid costumes.

Li Yuan was also very excited, and finally recognized Li Shimin's ability, and for the first time recognized the legitimacy of Li Shimin's throne before the ancestral tablet when worshiping the ancestors.

This operation of his simply caught everyone's attention, so the father and son reconciled?
Li Shimin was almost knocked out by this unexpected joy, what is this called?What is the Lord of Destiny (look back), this is called the world and the earth work together...

He was so happy that he started talking nonsense.

But the emperor is the emperor, and he quickly cleaned up his emotions.Then he knelt in front of Li Yuan with snot and tears, crying loudly.Li Yuan also cried while holding his headache.

Looking at the two people who are showing the deep love between father and son, Yue Shan is also quite emotional, this time it is finally complete.

The change of Xuanwu Gate was a hurdle in the hearts of Tang monarchs and ministers, and the legitimacy of Li Shimin's throne has always been criticized.Now, no one can use this excuse to attack the court anymore.

Because of Li Yuan's cooperation, Li Shimin also felt that he owed too much to his own father and wanted to make up for him, so he took the initiative to give up the C position in the follow-up link of worshiping ancestors and heaven.

Li Yuan did not give in, and presided over the follow-up session.

Another link was to read Xieli's indictment. Of course, the indictment was written in advance, and the emperor just read it out.In the original history, this link was also presided over by Li Shimin, but now it has also become Li Yuan.

Holding the hand letter that Li Shimin passed to him in his hand, looking at Xieli kneeling in front of him, Li Yuan's mood was extremely complicated.

"stand up."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Xie Li, who had kept his head down, also raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

"You are also a hero all your life. Even if you lose, you will stand and die like a man. How can you kneel there like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered and beg for a chance to survive." Li Yuan said loudly.

It was said that the courtiers around lowered their heads and pretended that they hadn't seen or heard anything.Li Shimin's expression was complicated, more guilt.

Jieli's face was constantly changing, humiliation, grief, hatred, unwillingness... But in the end all emotions were replaced by fear, and after glancing at Li Shimin, he lowered his head again.

"Haha... Jieli, Jieli, you are nothing more than that." Li Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and then threw the document in Li Shimin's arms: "This kind of clown is not worthy for me to read the crime, you come."

After speaking, he strode away from the Taimiao, and returned to Da'an Palace under the 'protection' of a group of imperial guards.

After watching him leave, Li Shimin came to Jieli slowly, and without opening the written indictment, he said directly:
"I originally listed five crimes for you, but now it seems that there is no need to read them out, and I don't bother to humiliate you. Let me make you a right-wing general. I don't think I need to teach you what to do in the future."

"Here, sinner Jieli thanks the sage for his grace." Jieli replied in a trembling tone as he squeezed his hands together.

In the evening, the imperial court held a grand celebration banquet in Daxing Palace, and invited civil and military officials to participate. Even the female family members were recruited into the harem, and the empress's eldest grandson Wugou personally entertained them.

At the celebration banquet, Jieli 'actively' performed a dance for the emperor and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, which was unanimously appreciated by everyone. Anyway, Yue Shan applauded too hard and his palms turned red for a long time.

At the banquet, the father and son Li Shimin and Li Yuan finally had a face-to-face communication. This was the first time since the Xuanwumen Incident.

Li Shimin was so excited that he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly again, and Li Yuan also burst into tears.

Yue Shan once thought that the father and son would stage the famous scene of "kneeling and breastfeeding" as described in the history books, but the facts proved that he was over-concerned, and it was not too much for them to just hug each other and cry.

Let him quite disappointed.

Halfway through the banquet, a little maid came quietly and said that Li Lizhi was very pleased.Yue Shan was very curious, what did this little girl ask her to do?
After explaining to Jing Junhong next to him, he followed.
