Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 405 Granting a Posthumous Title

In Chang'an, in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was holding a court meeting with his officials.

"Report! Liaodong [-] miles, hurry up!" Outside the Taiji Hall, a soldier of the imperial guard held an object in his hand and ran towards the Taiji Hall while shouting. No one stopped him.

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army ran up the stairs, stopped outside the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, handed the things in their hands to the eunuch and said, "Report to Your Majesty immediately! Liaodong [-] miles, hurry up!"

"Hey!" The eunuch replied, turned around and ran towards the main hall. It must be Liaodong who dared not delay even the slightest thing except for major events.

"Report to Your Majesty! Hurry up for eight hundred miles east of Liaodong!" The eunuch ran into the hall, knelt down under Majesty Dan and shouted loudly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words!

"Submit it quickly!" Li Chengqian yelled hastily, worrying in his heart what is going on in Liaodong?Could it be that the battle was defeated?

Since Quangai Suwen passed away, who else in Goguryeo can compete with Su Dingfang and others?

Wang Quan hurried down the steps, took Liaodong's hand, turned and walked back to Li Chengqian, and handed the urgent report to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian hurriedly opened the emergency report to find out what happened in Liaodong.

Everyone was looking forward to it, wanting to know what happened?Some people even whispered and speculated whether the Tang army was defeated by the Goguryeo army, and it was still a disastrous defeat.

"Your Majesty! What's the matter in Liaodong?" Changsun Wuji asked after seeing Li Chengqian looking at it for a long time without saying a word.

At this time, Changsun Wuji had the same thought as everyone else, that is, Su Dingfang was defeated, and it might be a disastrous defeat, or even almost annihilated.

"Xing Guogong came to report that 14 people, Pang Xiaotai and his son, the general manager of the Woju Road March, died in the Koguryo Snake River. They died generously and heroically for the country." Li Chengqian choked up.

After hearing this, everyone was moved by Pang Xiaotai's loyalty, and there was a surge of sadness in their hearts.

The main hall fell silent immediately, and everyone consciously mourned for the 14 Pang Xiaotai and his son who died in the battle.

"Pang Xiaotai's loyal family is really a blessing from my Tang Dynasty. I doubled the pension for the Pang family, and buried their father and son with the ceremony of a state prince. They were buried with Qianling and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao." Li Chengqian said.

A meritorious official like Pang Xiaotai deserves the highest honor, being able to be buried with the emperor's mausoleum and enjoy the Taimiao, which is the highest honor that a subject can enjoy after death.

"Also, Ren Yaxiang, the general manager of the Weijiang Road march, died in the army, and the heavy snow in Liaodong has led the army back to the Tang Dynasty."

"Pang Xiaotai died in battle, and Ren Yaxiang died in the army. These two are the talents of our Tang Dynasty. Let's discuss what posthumous titles should be given to them." Li Chengqian continued.

"Your Majesty! When I was appointed as a general, I never recommended any relatives or old officials to join the army, and all of them were handed over to Yousi."

"Mr. Ren often said to others: No matter how big or small an official is, they are all official objects of the court. How can they be passed on to each other in private?"

"Ren Gong's behavior is really admirable. Let me ask the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, who can do what Ren Gong said, and I think it is a respect to confer a posthumous title." Li Ke came out and saluted.

"What King Wu said is reasonable, I wonder if you have any objections?" Li Chengqian said.

"The old minister has no objections. Wu Wangke is right. Mr. Ren is indeed worthy of this posthumous title. The old minister agrees!" Changsun Wuji saluted.

This is the first time that Changsun Wuji and Li Ke have stood on the united front since they were ministers in the same palace. This is all because everyone is convinced by Ren Yaxiang's character.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister seconded the proposal..." The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed.

"Since there is no objection, then give the posthumous posthumous title of Yaxiang, the official of Anle County, and posthumously posthumously make him the governor of Jingzhou." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty is holy!" the ministers shouted.

"Then what kind of posthumous title should Pang Xiaotai bestow? For a loyal minister like Pang Xiaotai, what posthumous title is suitable for him?" Li Chengqian said.

If there were no loyal ministers like Pang Xiaotai, who expanded the territory for the Tang Dynasty and resisted foreign enemies, there would be no great Tang Dynasty.

It is because there are so many soldiers who fought bloody outside to ensure that the Central Plains will not be devastated by the flames of war, so that Datang can live and work in peace and contentment.

The people of Datang will have a stable and prosperous environment, and Datang will enter the prosperous age.

Without the bloody battles of these soldiers, the Central Plains would be devastated by the flames of war, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would suffer greatly from the war.

The people of Datang after the Anshi Rebellion are the best proof.

The officials fell silent immediately, racking their brains to think what posthumous title should be given to Pang Xiaotai. After all, the Pang family was a loyal family, and all 14 father and son died in battle.

This posthumous title must conform to his Pang Xiaotai's loyalty, as well as his heroic spirit of sacrificing his life for the country.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty! The old minister thought it was to reward Pang Xiaotai's loyalty and honor his loyalty."

"The old minister implores Your Majesty to give Pang Xiaotai the posthumous title of Zhonghui and Doctor Wu Yi. Only this posthumous title is enough to commend Pang Xiaotai's loyalty."

This loyalty, Li Chengqian understands what it means, and this Hui means intelligence and talent. It is appropriate to use these two words to give Pang Xiaotai a posthumous title.

"Do you have any objections to this?" Li Chengqian asked, to see if there is a more suitable posthumous title than this one, maybe someone has a different opinion.

He doesn't know much about granting a posthumous title, so he still needs to seek everyone's valuable opinions.

"The ministers wait for the second opinion!" The ministers saluted again and echoed. No one had any opinion on the posthumous title of Zhonghui, and everyone felt that these two words were enough to demonstrate the achievements of Pang Xiaotai's life.

"Since all your lovers have no objection, then I will issue an imperial edict to posthumously bestow Pang Xiaotai as Doctor Wu Yi and give him the posthumous title of Zhonghui."

Seeing that there was no objection, Li Chengqian also knew that this posthumous title was the most appropriate, so he issued an edict to do what Changsun Wuji said.

"Your Majesty! General Pang Xiaotai died in battle. We are naturally very sad, but why Pang Gong fought alone but did not see any reinforcements? Is there some ulterior secret in it? I implore Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and return The hero is fair." The cruel official Lai Junchen came out of the line and saluted.

"You mean, someone deliberately delayed the march so that Duke Pang and his son fought alone, which resulted in the death of Duke Pang in battle?" Li Chengqian said.

Deliberately delaying the rescue is tantamount to framing Zhongliang. Once this charge is confirmed, you don't have to think about the consequences.

"This is my guess. I dare not make any guesses. Only after a thorough investigation can I know whether it is as I expected."

"I am willing to share your majesty's worries! Thoroughly investigate this matter, and give justice to loyal ministers and righteous men." Lai Junchen said.

"This matter, Xing Guogong has written clearly and clearly in the report. It is because the road to Goguryeo is difficult to walk, and the bad weather makes it difficult to transport food and grass, which leads to the delay in the supply of reinforcements."

"It's not that what you guessed was intentionally framed. If there is no evidence in the future, don't make random guesses. It will disgust people." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't dare! I just want to share the worries for His Majesty!" Lai Junchen said.
