It was a cold spring, and it started snowing in Luoyang.

The floating and scattering adds a bit of heaviness to this early spring.

"Taichang Temple proposed to be posthumously named Emperor Dasheng Emperor Dahongxiao, and the temple name is Gaozong." Zuo Kuangzheng Pei Xingjian said in the Zhengshi Hall.

Originally, Taichang Temple wanted to give the Emperor Taizong a posthumous title, but the emperor had only been in power for one year, and it seemed that he could not afford this posthumous title. He wanted to use Shizong again, but some people opposed it.

Although the Longshuo Dynasty also had the martial arts of destroying the Three Southwest Kingdoms, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty really didn't think it was very powerful in the three small barbarian countries.

After much discussion, I finally chose a Emperor Gaozong, which was a good posthumous title after all.

"The Ministry of Rites discusses the year name Shangyuan, and the second year of Longshuo is the first year of Shangyuan."

The spring is chilly.

It was warm in the political affairs hall. The prime ministers took off their fur coats and sat there to discuss matters.

The two emperors were missing one after another, and the center was so busy that they were busy. Fortunately, the prime ministers were already preparing for the current situation before, so they would not panic.

Everything went smoothly.

"The Fengge Strike Minister Li Gong said that the national treasury is sufficient for money and food, and there is no problem with the military rewards given to the soldiers by the new emperor ascended the throne."

"This time, there are many military rewards."

Right Prime Minister Lai Ji nodded, "A few major events have arrived, so it is appropriate to reward and comfort the soldiers."

The two emperors died and met the young lord ascended the throne. After several things came together, the rewards must be more than usual. Since Zhenguan, the court has developed a custom of rewarding soldiers with great rewards. Not to mention the 200,000 regular imperial guards in the Northern Yaya, there are tens of thousands of soldiers outside the Nan Yaya in the Beijing area. In addition, there are also twenty-two internal soldiers composed of children of high-ranking officials and nobles and meritorious veterans. These troops are stationed in important places in the capital, and the military pay is not high.

For example, the 12th Army of the Northern Yamen were divided into several levels. The basic monthly salary ranged from 300 to 1,000 yuan, and then there were monthly food of 7 dou to 2 stones, silk, cloth, and money for spring and winter clothes. For example, this year's spring clothes were two pieces of silk, half a piece of cloth, and one thousand yuan. Last year's winter clothes were added to this basis to twelve taels of cotton.

This treatment was pretty good at the beginning of the country, but for now, especially in the capital of Luoyang, this treatment is just average, especially for the imperial guards of professional soldiers, it is even more difficult to serve the whole family by one person.

Therefore, the imperial court usually increases the income of soldiers through various rewards. For example, now it has formed military rewards after suburban rituals every three years, which costs millions of stags each time, and another million pieces of silk, silk, etc., and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Whenever the royal family is in a funeral event, such as the birth of a prince, the emperor ascends the throne, the emperor dies, and the princess gets married, there will be rewards of varying scales. Every year, there will be rewards on the emperor's birthday.

There are many kinds of reward names, but some of them are like a princess getting married, a princess, or a princess or a concubine. They may only be rewarded to the imperial guards, while those who enthrone the crown prince and ascend the throne are rewards nationwide.

These rewards can greatly improve the treatment of soldiers, especially the income of professional imperial guards, and help them maintain a good life in Gyeonggi and support their families.

The court has always had a good example of military rewards, and the prime ministers are also very skilled.

If you encounter several major events this time, you have to add a little more to the previous number.

"The Empress Dowager said she would take out an additional two million guan from the treasury to reward the army."

In addition to the two million treasury reward army, the Empress Dowager took out many relics of the late emperor from the palace to reward the ministers in the court, such as fur clothes, gold belts, silver saddles, utensils, gold and silver coins, etc. Basically, officials above the fifth rank can receive the reward of the late emperor's relics.

It's just that the high and low are different.

For veterans like the Grand Tutor Qin Lang, the relics of the ancestors who were rewarded must be loaded in several ships, and there must be thousands of pieces in total.

And Tathagata helped the prime ministers, from imperial horses to silver saddles to gold stirrups, to gold bowls, silver basins, bronze mirrors, jade cups, etc.

It is said that rewarding relics will basically reward the original imperial objects in the palace, and then the new emperor will replace them with a brand new one.

The household items in the old mansion of the new emperor's hidden residence will be rewarded with the elderly and widowed.

"There are additional gold coins in the reward given to the 200,000 imperial guards this time, and each has different grades. The lowest imperial guards also have at least one gold coins for additional reward. This money will be paid by the Empress Dowager's inner treasury."

Several prime ministers couldn't help but sigh that although the Empress Dowager was young, she was very willing to let her go. She would cost at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan gold coins. Although a gold coin was not worth one or two taels of gold, it was worth ten thousand, which was three or four million guan.

The Empress Dowager not only has enough courage, but also has plenty of money for her private house.

"Can the Queen Mother really take out so many gold coins? Don't be able to cash out then, will the imperial guards cause trouble?"

Youkuangzheng Jia Runfu smiled, "What are you worried about this? Have you forgotten that the Empress Dowager is the daughter of King Qi of Anguo and Princess Taiping in Zhenguo?"

"Besides, in fact, this money is not all paid by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will also pay some private money."

The reward army is the big one, but since the national treasury is not short of money and the royal treasury is not short of money, then this is not a problem at all. As for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who want to give more rewards to the imperial guards or even some gold, this is not a problem.

Of course, the court will not forget the officials and relatives who favor one another.

In addition to rewarding the relics of the late emperor to officials above the fifth rank, there will also be additional officials and advanced medals as usual. Most officials will receive promotions at the scattered level, and some officials will also receive awards or awards at the scattered level. Middle and low-level officials will also receive an additional reward.

This is all to soothe people's hearts, so they spend money on a routine basis.

Everyone is familiar with it.

Although some officials have believed that although the court's reward method was quite effective, over time, a bad habit gradually formed, which was harmful but not profitable, and even damaged the combat effectiveness of the army.

But this kind of atmosphere is not formed for a day or two. It is difficult to learn well for three years, and it only takes three days to learn bad things. How easy is it to change it?

Besides, for example, two emperors have collapsed in a row. The new emperor is only three years old. The empress dowager in her twenties is in charge of the affairs of the country. She is in charge of military affairs and national affairs. She does not directly spend money to win people's hearts. Could it be that she only talks about loyalty and righteousness?

"The additional Enke Examination is about to begin. It involves the imperial examinations of the court and the country's talents. We should pay more attention to it. We must do this Koenke."

Pei Xingjian asked, "As usual, the new emperor ascended the throne, the Enko will be added once. This year's Enko was added after the late emperor succeeded to the throne last year. So now the new emperor succeeded to the throne, should I also add one Cohen? If the new emperor adds, it means that there will be a meeting exam for four consecutive years."

Before Li Zhao ascended the throne, it was the year of the competition. As a result, due to the Xuecheng incident, Li Yin canceled the subject. After Li Zhao ascended the throne, Qin Lang presided over the government and restored the subject. Then this year he added Enke, who ascended the throne, and then took the exam for two consecutive times.

If Li Ye ascended the throne and held a tribute, then the imperial examination will be held next spring, which will take three consecutive years. The imperial examination will be held every three years. Therefore, after the examination next year, the year after that, it will be another normal imperial examination year three years apart. If you take the exam again, then the fourth consecutive examination will be held.

This kind of thing is very special.

Originally, four subjects were twelve years, but now they have been taking the exam for four consecutive years and have been admitted to four batches.

In this way, there may be a lot of Jinshi admissions and some more water.

"I think Enko was specially recommended to the scholars because the new emperor ascended the throne. It was both an old example and should be held. It cannot be cancelled just because they arrived together these few times. That would only cause dissatisfaction among scholars. This would not only fail to achieve the intention of the scholars to recommend the scholars, but also easily cause turmoil. At present, special opportunities should be avoided."

If I come to Ji, most prime ministers would agree.

The icing on the cake may not be read by many people, but if you cancel, you may be resented.

"Then follow the old rules and regulations to get four consecutive exams."

Luantai.

In this new name with a strange taste, the rulers of the highest military institutions of the Tang Dynasty, such as Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianwu, were also discussing the matters.

The Privy Council was renamed Luantai, but what remains unchanged is its position.

"We must give Wang Xuance a strict wording so that he must enter the court immediately." Niu Jianwu complained with some dissatisfaction. Wang Xuance was originally captured by the navy in the capital of Piyue. After King Piao surrendered, he was recalled to the court to be promoted to deputy envoy.

But this guy was bold and did not enter the court, but instead led his troops to attack and destroy the little Brahmin, and then took down Alagan and the Great Qin Brahmin.

It was correct that he added South Tibet Road to the court, but he always found reasons to stay in the border area.

The Ministry of War Department and the Weiwei Temple intelligence organizations reported that Wang Xuance was planning a military offensive plan against East Tianzhu, west of the Tibetan River, with the intention of crossing the Tibetan River and conquering the plains of East Tianzhu.

This incident made Luantai's coaches very dissatisfied.

Especially at this moment, the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister hope to be stable and overwhelming.

Even the war in the Western Regions is planning to withdraw some of its troops and temporarily stop the war.

At this time, the court was even willing to negotiate with the Dashi first, or even accept the peace between Sogdian and Tochar and give up the decisive battle.

The purpose is to stabilize the court and stabilize the frontier first. If you don’t want to fight such a national war in this special period, you are afraid that if you don’t.

But Wang Xuance was still thinking about making big moves secretly. Isn’t this contrary to the center?

"I suggest that a general be transferred to southern Tibet to replace Wang Xuance, remove all the military powers of Wang Xuance on the front line, and let him return to Luo immediately. If he does not cooperate, arrest him directly and send him to Sanlang Luzon!"

Cheng Chumo smiled, "I believe that Wang Xuance would not be so rude and doesn't understand the overall situation. Who do you think is suitable to go there?"

"How about buying Xijun?"

"Xi Junmai is a 10,000 enemy, and he can fight, but his personality is somewhat similar to Wang Xuance. I'm afraid he is the second Wang Xuance. When the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he will take action first and then report, and lead troops to kill across the Zanghe River. We will be out of reach."
