Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

In the summer of the 14th year of Daye, the Chu State dispatched [-] cavalry, and successively destroyed the Kumoxi, Khitan, Lin tribe, Shiwei, and Mohe. There was no longer any power in the entire Modong grassland, leaving only the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. on one's last legs.

.......

at the same time.

King Kou Zhong of Chu met with Li Clan, Dou Jiande, Luo Yi and others at the Qinzheng Hall of Daxing Palace.

In the main hall, everyone in the Li clan was a little at a loss. Dou Jiande and his party were happy to see the Li clan's predicament. Luo Yi was the most relaxed. Who let his two sons, one is a titled general with a hundred thousand troops, and the other is a guard general? .

"Your Highness!"

"Liaodong urgent report!"

A Jinyi Tiqi hurriedly handed a fire-lacquered letter to the attendant, who hurriedly presented it.

"Shh!"

Kou Zhong took the letter, looked at it carefully, and laughed heartily: "Okay, great!"

"The Knights did a good job."

"Edict: The brave cavalry general Jiang Songguo was brave and wise. He pacified all the tribes in Modong. He was promoted to Marquis. His title was: Yuyang."

"Luo Cheng, Pei Xingyan, and Pei Yuanqing are Earls of Jin, with titles: Yang'an, Bai Geng, and Youcheng."

"Each of them will be given a 300-year-old Polygonum multiflorum plant, twenty red fruits, and two red blood vines."

"promise!"

The attendant responded and prepared an edict.

Everyone present was stunned. They all looked at Luo Yi with envious expressions.

Luo Yi is still in a daze. What did his two sons do? In the blink of an eye, they became Yu Yanghou and Yang Anbo.

"General Luo."

"The Xiaoqi Army cooperated with the Yanzhou Army and the Youzhou Army to pacify the Kumoxi, Khitan, Xi, Shiwei, and Mohe tribes, and the desert east returned to Chu."

"I intend to establish the Bohai Governor's Palace in the old places of Shiwei and Mohe. Are you willing to serve as the Governor of Bohai?"

At this moment, Kou Zhong's words cleared everyone's doubts.

But just like this, they were even more surprised. All the Hu people entrenched outside Liaodong were destroyed. This was really shocking.

You know, even the weakest Xi tribe has no less than ten thousand riders. Khitan and Kumoxi have tens of thousands or one hundred thousand riders. Even the former Sui Dynasty had to appease them. When it comes to Kou Zhong, they are like Ni Nie. Same, easily destroyed.

But they had to believe that this was true, because Kou Zhong would ennoble marquis and earl, and it could only be Luo Yi's son who was responsible for such genocide.

"Go back to your highness, the general is willing!"

Luo Yi, who had just come to his senses, quickly responded.

Even though Shiwei and Mohe are bitterly cold places, they are vast in territory, at least two thousand miles across, and the two tribes together number in the millions.

"Edict: Luo Yi lived in Youyan for a long time, protected the people, and made meritorious service to the country. He was granted the title of Duke of Liao."

"I will give you a mansion, two rebirth elixirs, a purple ginseng plant, and a thousand catties of spiritual rice."

The voice fell.

The attendant on the side handed a Na ring to Luo Yi.

"Tick!"

Luo Yi dripped blood on it very skillfully, unable to hide the pride on his lips.

He had long heard his son talk about this matter of storing magic weapons, but he didn't expect King Chu to be so generous.

"Dou Jiande!"

"The crime will be there!"

Next, a middle-aged man with a beard walked out and knelt on the ground.

"Read the imperial edict!"

Kou Zhong raised his hand and said calmly.

"promise!"

An attendant of the King of Chu took out the yellow silk, opened it, and read loudly: "The king's edict: Dou Jiande, Hebei Province, promoted the righteous army, attacked the unruly, obeyed the destiny, and entered the great Chu. He was specially given a marquis, the title: Xia, and his wife was given A second-class county lady, her daughter Dou Hongxian was granted the title of Princess Hejian and allowed to enter the Women's Garden."

"In addition, I will give you a Marquis Mansion with ten thousand gold, three thousand pieces of silk and satin, one rebirth elixir, ten red fruits, and five hundred catties of spiritual rice."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Dou Jiande finally breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the Wang Zhao with satisfaction.

Li Mi and Zhai Rang are both two-character marquis, and Xiao Xian is only one-character marquis. He is very happy to have won the title of Xiahou.

"The king's edict: Liu Heitai and Zhuge Bowei confer viscounts with titles: Wuyuan and Lecheng."

"Order Liu Heita to be the governor of the Japanese Governor-General's Palace and coordinate the military affairs of Japan. Zhuge Bowei is appointed the governor of the Luzon Governor-General's Palace to coordinate the military affairs of Luzon."

"Liu Bin and Ouyang Xun are the left ministers of the Ministry of punishment and the right minister of the Ministry of punishment, and are given the title of Grand Duke."

"Each will be given a mansion, an animal bone pill, and a hundred catties of spiritual rice."

The attendants of the King of Chu read the contents on the yellow silk cloth at once.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Liu Heita and others also expressed their gratitude with happy faces.

"Ah."

Kou Zhong gave the attendant a look.

One of the Chu King's attendants took Dou Jiande and his party away from the Qinzheng Hall.

For a time, only the Li Clan monarchs and ministers were left in the palace, all with complicated faces and even a little disappointed in their hearts. It has to be said that the rewards given by Dou Jiande and his party made these Li Clan monarchs and ministers full of envy, but after all, they are different from Dou Jiande. The former is Active surrender, the latter is passive surrender.

"Li Xiuning."

"You did a good job. Gu is a person who knows rewards and punishments."

"what do you want?"

Kou Zhong asked after taking a deep look at Li Xiuning.

The most fundamental reason why Li Clan surrendered to Chu this time was that Li Xiuning used Li Shimin and Li Yuanba's army to forcibly control the Tang court, and thus escorted all the Tang monarchs and ministers to Chang'an without bloodshed.

"I want a place in His Highness's harem!"

Li Xiuning raised her heroic eyebrows and stared at Kou Zhong motionlessly.

Geek!

When everyone present heard this, their expressions became a little strange, and the atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall became particularly stagnant.

"You are very smart. You guessed that Gu's harem system has also been perfected from the nine-level nobility system for courtiers and family members introduced by Gu."

"Yes, Gu has indeed made some preparations for ascending to the throne."

"But there are only six positions for concubines in Da Chu. You can choose one of the remaining twelve positions."

"When Gu ascends to the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will appoint her and make her a concubine."

Kou Zhong said calmly.

He was not surprised by Li Xiuning's choice.

Because, unlike Song Yuhua, Li Xiuning is very similar to Princess Nanyang, and she thinks more about her family.

If you want the Li family to live a better life in the Chu Kingdom and even the Great Chu, only by joining the harem can you make others take advantage of it.

"I respect the imperial edict!"

Li Xiuning didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.

She knew that she could not compare with the six wives of the current King of Chu. The fathers of Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiuxun were both important ministers of the Chu State. Behind Shifei Xuan were the remaining power of the Buddhist sect and Zhengyiyi, and behind Wanwan were the remaining power of the Demonic sect and the Yin family. Later, Zhu Yuyan, Song Yuhua, and Princess Nanyang squeezed into the front line with their strong military exploits. Both of them were supported by the Chu army, as well as the Song family and the Yang family.

The concubine position is the best thing she can get now.

"Three sisters!"

Li Shimin and Li Yuanba felt bitter in their hearts when they saw that Li Xiuning, who was once so proud, was now bowing down for the sake of a mere concubine.

The other members of the Li clan were not sad at all. Even Li Yuan had a smile on his lips. They all thought that Li Xiuning would be able to gain benefits for the Li clan by entering the palace, but they thought too much.

"Li Shimin, Li Yuanba."

"You two have made great achievements in conquering Dingxiang. I will give you a viscount and the titles: Jinyang and Fenyang."

"Order Li Shimin as General Hengbo, Li Xiaogong as General Huwei, Li Shentong and Li Daozong as General Huwei's left and right, and Li Yuanba as General Huwei Cavalry."

"Order Xue Wanche to be the Long Xiang Mo Sword General, Xue Wanjun to be the Ying Yang Rui General, Zhang Liang to be the Divine Cavalry Commander, and Bing Yuanzhen to be the Divine Martial Cavalry Commander."

"Changsun Wuji is the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Feng Deyi is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Ting, Feng Li, Changsun Shunde, Yang Gongqing, and Li Gang are the prefects of the five Lingnan states."

"I will take office today!"

The loud words resounded in the hall, and everyone whose name was called was shocked.

"promise!"

Everyone came together and responded.

It wasn't until everyone had finished making arrangements that Kou Zhong turned his attention to Li Yuan. Looking at the rickety old man, he felt deeply that the winner was king and the loser was Kou. If he lost, he would probably end up worse than Li Yuan.

Everyone present focused their attention on Kou Zhong, because they knew that the next step was the most critical moment.

"Send the edict!"

I saw Kou Zhong drink lightly.

"promise!"

The attendant of the King of Chu immediately spoke out: "The king's edict: Grant Li Yuan the title of Marquis of Tang, with the title: Tang, and make Li Jiancheng the scholar of the Marquis of Tang."

"Li Yuan's eldest daughter was granted the title of Lord of Jinyang County and Lord of Fenyang County. His fourth son, Li Zhiyun, was granted the title of Doctor Ronglu and entered the Imperial Academy to study."

"In addition, I will give you a palace, ten thousand gold, and three thousand pieces of silk and satin."

'well! ! ! '

heard.

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of reward seems to be very good, but it is very different from what Dou Jiande and Luo Yi received.

Can two county heads be as good as one princess?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift!"

Li Yuan dragged his old body and kowtowed to thank him.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Jiancheng and Li Zhiyun also expressed their gratitude one after another.

Only Li Yuanji, who had not received the reward, flashed a trace of resentment in his eyes. It was not against Kou Zhong, but against Li Yuan and others. The entire Li family had been rewarded, and even the concubine Li Zhiyun was not left behind. He was the only one who did not even have an official position. There is no title, why?

Li Xiuning and Li Shimin next to them looked at each other and saw the bitterness in their eyes. It was obvious that this knighthood was to divide the Li family.

The huge Li clan will be divided next. Li Shimin and Li Yuanba both have Viscount Mansion. The three sisters are either county lords or Princess Chu. Naturally, they can no longer live in Tanghou Mansion. So only the remaining three sisters still live in Tanghou Mansion. Exit Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji, who had not received a title or official position, could not be without anger in his heart. The Tang Hou Mansion would probably end up in an embarrassing situation with two sons fighting for the family property.

Chapter 127: Eastern Shura, iron-blooded swordsman!

As the night gradually fell, Kou Zhong stood outside Daxing Palace, looking at Longshou Mountain, feeling filled with emotion.

In two years, the Central Plains was unified, and then only the three kingdoms of East, West Turks, and Goguryeo were left. Time flies so fast.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, go to bed!"

suddenly.

A soft whisper full of temptation sounded in Kou Zhong's ears.

Kou Zhong looked back and saw that it was the former four leaders of the Ba League and today the Chu Kingdom's Forbidden Army General Sina. This enchanting Yao beauty showed up under the moonlight, which made him feel a little full of blood. He hugged her horizontally. Qi Sina entered the inner hall.
