I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 64
"What are you doing standing there in a daze, what a shame." Cheng Yaojin was very dissatisfied when he saw Lin Xuan standing there in a daze.

"Oh, boy Lin Xuan, I have seen Uncle Qin." Lin Xuan recovered and saluted quickly.

"Ahem... Zhijie and I mentioned you, yes." Qin Qiong nodded and said with a smile.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Qiong worriedly.

"It's okay, it's an old problem." Qin Qiong waved his hand and said indifferently.

Lin Xuan really couldn't compare the man in front of him with the fat yellow horse in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", wearing a purple gold crown on his head, wearing a chain armor of gold chains, a pair of cooked copper maces on his back, and holding a tiger's head golden gun in his hand. The unrivaled hero who took the head of the general from it was connected with the old man in front of him who was about to cough after saying a few words.

Just when Lin Xuan felt sorry for Qin Qiong, the palace gate slowly opened.

Everyone stopped chatting quickly, all officials checked their robes, straightened their official hats, and began to line up.

"Boy Lin, you don't have an official position. You will follow the eunuch to the side hall and wait for His Majesty to summon you. Don't run around." Cheng Yaojin hurriedly explained, and hurried to line up.

At first, Lin Xuan thought he would see Zao Chao, but now he realized that he was thinking too much.

It's right to think about it, the morning court is a place to discuss national affairs, why should he join in the fun as a commoner.

A row of civil servants and a row of military officers, after lining up, they walked slowly into the palace gate.

Lin Xuan fell behind, and after all the officials went in, Lin Xuan found the eunuch at the gate of the palace, explained his identity, and walked into the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.

The eunuch who led the way took Lin Xuan to a side hall of the Taiji Palace, and told him to wait for the emperor to summon him here, not to run around, and left.

The decoration of the palace is majestic, and some exquisite bronzes are placed in some places.

These things are national treasures in future generations, and Lin Xuan has the urge to take them home.

Of course, it's just a thought. There's no place to hide such a big thing.

But if you go to steal things in the palace, if you are found out, your life will be gone.

Lin Xuan walked around the hall and felt a little boring. These things represented money in his eyes, and now there is no way to get them away, so what is there to see.

After finding a place to sit down, Lin Xuan wondered what Li Shimin would reward him.

Forget about the money, he doesn't lack it. He remembered that the court in the early Tang Dynasty was still relatively poor, so he probably couldn't reward much.

What Lin Xuan wanted most was the title. With the title, he also belonged to the special class, and he had a certain status in Datang.

Li Shimin, as the Khan of Heaven, is called a generation of Mingjun by later generations, so he shouldn't be too stingy.

Lin Xuan waited for more than two hours, but no one came, so he couldn't help cursing secretly.

You haven't summoned him for so long, why did you ask him to come so early, you can sleep until dawn before coming back.

In ancient times, this was not good. The emperor summoned the emperor, and he had no human rights at all.

Just when Lin Xuan was thinking wildly, a young eunuch came in and said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, Your Majesty has summoned you, come with your servant."

"Oh, sorry to bother you, father-in-law." Lin Xuan said politely.

The little eunuch took Lin Xuan outside the main hall of Taiji Palace, motioned him to wait a moment, and went to the side door to report.

Not long after, the hall shouted loudly: "Teach Lin Xuan to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan tidied up his clothes and walked into the hall.

"Xiaomin Lin Xuan sees His Majesty." Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.

Lin Xuan straightened up when he heard "Ping Shen", his head was slightly lowered, and his eyes were not looking directly.

"The crown prince has done a great job in helping the victims, and the cost of the East Palace will be doubled from now on," Li Shimin said.

"Thank you, Father." Li Chengqian went out to thank him.

He doesn't care if he is rewarded or not, but he is very happy when his father praises him.

He still remembered how Li Shimin praised him when he returned to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and continued: "Li Tai has made great contributions in assisting the crown prince in disaster relief. He was named the king of Wei, and he led the governor of Kunzhou and the five governors of Xia, Sheng, Beifu, Beining, and Beikai."

wow~
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the officials were in an uproar, because Li Shimin rewarded Li Tai too much.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Tai, who was only nine years old, changed his title to king of Yue, and was named the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Yuezhou. Sixteen prefectures including Xuan, Dongmu, and Nanhe were governors of Yangzhou, and they also supervised the six prefectures of Yue, Wu, Quan, Jian, Tai, and Kuo, and enfeoffed as many as 22 prefectures!
The prince Li Ke, who was conferred at the same time as him, only had eight prefectures.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan (631), while Li Tai served as the governor of Yangzhou, he also took the post of General Zuo Wuhou.

Now Li Shimin has added the title of King Wei and six prefectures, and with the previous ones, there are 28 prefectures.

What is Li Shimin trying to do?It's rare to want to abolish Li Chengqian and make Li Tai the crown prince?

It's no wonder they think too much, it's about the crown prince, it's not too much to think too much, all the ministers have different thoughts for a while.

"Thank you, Father." Li Tai quickly thanked him.

Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian with a smile all over his face, and saw that his face was extremely gloomy, and the smile on his face became even wider.

Li Chengqian clenched his fists in his wide sleeves.

why?
I worked so hard, and finally got a double fee, but the reward for Li Tai was so heavy.

Li Chengqian was very unwilling, and at the same time a little disheartened. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to Li Tai, so why did he work so hard.

"Your Majesty, no, the King of Yue already had 22 prefectures, and now he has added 6 prefectures. This is the way to bring disaster."

Li Chengqian still had quite a few supporters, so he came to his senses and hurriedly stopped him.

"I have decided on this matter." Li Shimin's tone was full of no doubt.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ignored those ministers, and continued: "Lin Xuan has made great contributions to assisting the prince in disaster relief. He was granted the title of uncle of Jingyang County, and seven hundred households in Shiyi."

Lin Xuan was a little confused, so he was knighted now?
"Your Majesty, you can't, how can you be named county uncle for mere minor merits." Wang Ze hurriedly came out and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, titles should not be conferred lightly." Many family officials came forward to agree.

There are also some who simply feel that the reward for Lin Xuan is too heavy, and they also agree with it.

There were more people who prevented Lin Xuan from being knighted than Li Tai, accounting for almost two-thirds of the hundred officials.

"Small merit? I remember that you had nothing to do at the time, and let me issue an edict to sin against myself. Now that someone has made meritorious service, it has become a minor merit in your eyes?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, even if he has meritorious service, it is already a favor to make him a county man." Wang Ze said.

The Wang family approached Lin Xuan to buy Keyun Tower before but was rejected. In addition, Lin Xuan's attention caused the family to have to provide food. The Wang family hated him deeply.

"I just want the people in the world to know that as long as I have made merit, I will reward you without hesitation."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ignored the obstruction of those ministers and said to Lin Xuan: "Lin Xuan, don't you still want to thank you?"

When Wang Ze spoke, Lin Xuan came back to his senses, but he was a little dazed at the time, wondering if Li Shimin would change his attention, so he didn't speak.

Hearing Li Shimin's words now, he hurriedly saluted, "Xiaomin, thank you for your reward."

"Now that you have the title, you will become a minister in the future." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xuan quickly changed his words.
