Chapter 410 The marriage is so set
The next day, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty gathered in the Tai Chi Hall and waited for Li Shimin to reward the meritorious soldiers who defeated the Turks and the resettlement of the Turks and Turis.
First of all, Tuli and the two royal members of the Ashina tribe who were awarded were not like princes such as Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Chengqian. His news was not very well-informed. He naturally did not know the result of the discussion in the Liangyi Palace yesterday.[]
Therefore, when Li Shimin enthroned him as the Grand Governor of Tongzhou and the Prince of Beiping, he was also shocked. The title of Prince of Beiping is very normal. Compared with his identity as the second Turkic Khan, the title of Prince of County can only be a symbolic meaning, which is a recognition of his status in the Tang Dynasty, but the real surprise of him was the Grand Governor of Tongzhou. Moreover, the several states under the rule of Tongzhou were newly formed by Jie Li's territory, which was the core area of the Turks. Li Shimin actually asked himself to guard this area. This is no longer as simple as paying attention to him, but his absolute trust in him!
Therefore, even a person who was very cunning like Tuli could not help but be moved by Li Shimin at this time, and saw him step forward respectfully kneeling in the Tai Chi Hall with the etiquette of a Tang minister and accepting Li Shimin's reward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tu Li led the closure.
"The princes of Peiping and the six states under the rule of the Grand Commander of Tongzhou are all Turkic people. They may still have resistance to the Tang Dynasty now, so you need to appease them. Whether they are Turkic or Tang people, they are my people in my eyes, and I will treat them equally!" Li Shimin's words reflect the broad-mindedness of an emperor.
"I understand! Please rest assured, the emperor, I will appease the Turkic tribes and prevent them from causing trouble!" Tuli replied.
"Well, I am still very relieved to the Prince of Beiping!" Li Shimin comforted.
When Tuli retreated, the two royal members of the Ashin tribe should have been the two royal members of the Ashina tribe, but they are not in Chang'an now, Tuli can only lead them, and then go back to the Turks to hand over the enthronement to the two.
When the reward of the Tuli ended, the reward of the soldiers who made meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty began.
The first batch of rewards were Li Mengchang, Du Junchuo, Cheng Mingzhen and Sun Erlang.
The ministers in the Taiji Hall had no objection to the rewards of these people. After all, Li Mengchang and Du Junchuo, who followed the nine pioneers of Li Shimin's coup, were naturally rewarded for their merits, while Sun Erlang and Cheng Mingzhen were also long-time generals of the Tang Dynasty. Their rewards were naturally nothing to say, and that was all real contributions.
As for Li Mengchang's position as the governor of Zhang Gongjin, the ministers in the court naturally had no objection. Since Zhang Gongjin became a disciple, he has been seriously ill and is not suitable to stay in the position of governor of Daizhou. Everyone knows it very well.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Mengchang, Cheng Mingzhen, Du Junchuo and Sun Erlang came forward to receive the title!
Their rewards were very heavy, which made the ministers in the hall envious.
However, they were envious, but they were also very clear about the dangers of the Tang Dynasty in the war against the Turks, so there was no such thing as jealousy.
After Li Mengchang and others retreated, Li Shimin began to reward Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Chen Qi and Wang Zhongchang.
When Wang De's slender voice read out the reward for Su Dingfang, the ministers in the Taiji Hall were all in a rage, and they naturally didn't know the result of the discussion in Liangyi Hall. So, suddenly, they heard that Su Dingfang was named the Great Governor of Youzhou, and the soldiers and horses under the rule of Youzhou were to control the troops and horses in eight states, and the ministers could no longer bear it and began to whisper and discuss the deep meaning behind it.
"Silent!" Li Shimin shouted faintly when he saw this result.
Suddenly, the Tai Chi Palace became quiet, and Wang De continued to reward Liu Rengui, Chen Qi and Wang Zhongchang.
With the excitement of Su Dingfang's reward, everyone was immune to the rewards of Chen Qi and Liu Rengui, and they didn't find any fuss. As for Wang Zhongchang's rewards that only grant titles but not officials, they would not be surprised by everyone.
Therefore, when these four people were rewarded, Wang De continued to reward other generals, but these generals were not in Chang'an, and they were all from the Bingzhou Army. After the reward in Tai Chi Hall was completed, the Ministry of War would naturally deliver the imperial edict to them.
Wait until Wang De finishes reading this large list of rewards!
The ministers in the Tai Chi Hall began to look forward to it. After experiencing Su Dingfang's reward, they thought clearly about how Li Shimin rewarded Li Ke.
Sure enough, when Wang Denian decided to place the four northern roads in the Northern Prefecture, and the soldiers and horses of the four prefectures were all under the command of the Northern Prefecture, and Li Ke was appointed as the commander of the Northern Prefecture and the general manager of the Northern Prefecture, the ministers in the Taiji Hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In addition to the few discussed by the Liangyi Hall, other important officials were also surprised, such as Li Jing, Gao Shilian, Liu Zhenghui, Tang Lian and others. They did not expect that Li Shimin's reward for Li Ke would be so heavy. The four prefectures under the Northern Prefecture were all borders of the Tang Dynasty and were all important military and horses. The total sum of the soldiers and horses in these four prefectures has exceeded half of the total strength of the Tang Dynasty. Such rewards are not just as simple as pampering Li Ke and making great contributions!
Therefore, everyone turned their eyes to Tuli, and began to guess whether Li Shimin agreed to Tuli's request to marry the Tang Dynasty. Only then did Li Shimin reward Li Ke in this way, with the purpose of giving him compensation.
However, when everyone saw Tuli's face was surprised, they dispelled this speculation in their hearts.
Li Shimin sat high on the dragon chaise in the Tai Chi Hall, and saw the expressions of everyone's faces. He turned his eyes to the princes. Li Chengqian was proud and Li Tai was mixed with joy and sorrow, only Li Ke was as calm as water. Seeing Li Ke as calm as water and the ancient well was not boring, Li Shimin felt both relieved and distressed. The relieved son did not disappoint himself. His maturity and stability were enough to take on the great responsibility. What he felt distressed was that he would always stay away from Chang'an and stationed in the northern border!
"My son received the order! Thank you, Father!" Li Ke stepped forward to receive the title.
"Li Ke, I can hand over the safety of my northern Tang Dynasty to your hands. Don't let me down!" Li Shimin harshly disciplined his son.
"My son understand! I will never let my father down!" Li Ke replied simply.
"Well, the Prince of Beiping asked to marry the Tang Dynasty. I have agreed to let you marry the Prince of Beiping Ashinayun. Yesterday I arranged for Xuanling to do this. Your Prince of Beiping should cooperate with Fang Xuanling, do you know?" Li Shimin ordered Li Ke.
It is said that if an imperial family has no family, a family is equal to a state affairs.
Therefore, Li Ke's marriage is naturally discussed in Tai Chi Hall.
After Li Shimin's words, the ministers recalled that Li Shimin's re-establishment of Li Ke was the reason, and the sudden light on the side was very happy. Li Ke was named King of Northern, and at the same time, all the soldiers and horses in the north have now become his son-in-law. How could he be unhappy? His appreciation and love for Li Ke is no less than Li Shimin's favor for Li Ke!
Li Shimin ruined Li Ke's chance to move into the Eastern Palace and gave him a throne with great power. This is a loss and gain. Some of the ministers were happy for Li Ke, while others felt sorry for Li Ke. Those who were happy thought that Li Ke's reward was rare among princes of all dynasties. Those who felt that if Li Ke did not cut off the opportunity to enter the Eastern Palace, his throne might not be the King of Northern.
However, while everyone was still savoring the gains and losses, Li Shimin began to fulfill his promise to cut off Li Ke's journey to the East Palace.
He saw him say lightly, "When you get married in Chang'an, you will be Bingzhou! In the future, without my will, you cannot go back to Chang'an!"
"My son - understand!" Li Ke thanked in a sad tone. Even though he had already known that if he married Ashinayun, he would not be able to return to Chang'an easily and had already cut off the opportunity to enter the Eastern Palace. However, when Li Shimin said it personally, he still couldn't accept such a sad ending similar to exile.
At this time, whether it was those who were happy or regretful for Li Ke, they saw the most miserable side of the prince. Even his opponents Li Chengqian and Li Tai sighed, and felt that Li Ke's result was a bit sad!
"Fang Xuanling, Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong!" Li Shimin named the Shangshu Pushe, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Zongzheng Temple respectively.
"I am here!" Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong came out.
"My name has ascended the throne, and it is the first time that the Tang Dynasty and Tuli have married each other. The wedding scene must be grand! You must be serious and responsible!" Li Shimin ordered.
"No" Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong took the order and retreated.
Li Ke's reward came to an end, and now it is the reward of Li Jing, the chief marching chief.
However, everyone waited for a long time but did not see Wang De continue to announce the edict. When everyone was wondering, Li Shimin said again, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many generals who followed me to fight south and north have not received the reward for titles. When I ascended the throne, the country was unstable. Outside were Turks eyeing each other, and the people were poor and destitute. Therefore, I have never had the opportunity to reward you. Now that the Tang Dynasty has defeated the powerful enemy Turks, the people's lives have become much better, and it should be time to reward you." Li Shimin said here, and said to Changsun Wuji beside him, "Auxiliary, let me leave this matter to you, Wei Zheng and Xiao Aiqing!"
"No" Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu went out.
Li Shimin's edict explained the reason why Li Jing's military achievements were not rewarded for the time being.
Today, the Taiji Hall dynasty meeting mainly commends and rewards against the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions. Since the rewards have ended, Li Shimin dispersed the court and the ministers left the Taiji Hall one after another.
