Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 116 The Award That Shocked the Government and the Opposition

The scribe that Luo Yan glanced at was Zhao Deyan.

During the war in the Central Plains, the literati had no power to protect themselves, so this one became so ruthless that he voted for the Turks.Originally, the bitter cold of the Turks has never been liked by the people of the Central Plains. Coupled with eating habits and humanistic habits, etc., it is difficult for the Turks to obtain talents from the Central Plains.

Moreover, those who have read books mostly despise barbarians like Turks, who would want to be the grandson of Turks.

No, Zhao Deyan, a second-rate scholar in the Central Plains, was immediately reused by Turkic after he arrived in Turkic.Xieli trusted Zhao Deyan a lot.

What makes Luo Yan feel funny is that.Zhao Deyan was used to life in the Central Plains, so he brought the Central Plains' system of respect and inferiority and laws to the Turks.Originally nomads were free by nature and used to being wild. Now that Zhao Deyan forcibly imposed so many confinements, Xieli felt happy, but his sons and daughters felt very unhappy.It can be said that when Zhao Deyan was reused, it represented the beginning of Turkic civil strife.

So Luo Yan had to be curious about such a wonderful character.Fortunately, this guy has made a different kind of contribution to Datang, so Luo Yan can't say much.

Back in Chang'an, Li Shimin felt as if he had fought a big battle.Seeing that the Turks had already begun to withdraw their troops, many scouts were scattered along the road, and seeing the troops of the Turkic Brigade slowly returning to the grassland with the harvest from this trip, Li Shimin was finally relieved after receiving the report.

Everything is back on track.It's time to reward the heroes.Although some people's official positions were raised to high levels before, official positions and credit are not the same.According to ability and needs, officials are awarded; but according to merit, titles are awarded.The official position can be changed, but the title will not change as long as he does not commit heinous crimes.

Li Shimin formulated a very detailed ranking based on various previous contributions.In terms of merit, Sun Wuji is the first, then Li Xiaogong, then Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and then Yu Chigong, Gao Shilian... In short, everyone knows that Li Shimin is based on Xuanwumen. It becomes a reference, coupled with past achievements, and this is the order that is determined.

Why do you say that.Changsun Wuji basically didn't have any credit when Li Shimin conquered the world.Not to mention Gao Shilian, this martial artist only came to Datang five years ago, and it is only a time since I missed it, so how can he have any military exploits.Not to mention military exploits, there is not much hard work.

But it happened that some people were blind and came out to make trouble.There is no one else for this person, it is Huaian Wang Li Shentong.

The well-known and often defeated prince in the royal family insisted on making a fuss at this time, saying that he had made great military achievements, why he was still ranked behind Fang Xuanling and other scholars.

For Li Shentong's trouble, Li Shimin was not polite at all. After counting his defeats over the years, he robbed Li Shentong of his success, and returned home in a state of embarrassment.In the end, Changsun Wuji and others were all named Dukes of the state, and they actually gave food to thousands of households in the city.

However, among these people, there was a reward who really surprised everyone.

Yes, it is Luo Yan.

Among Li Shimin's rankings, Luo Yan ranked ninth.There are so many heroes, all of whom are over [-] years old, but such a young man in his early twenties is mixed in.

But those who know how this ranking is made are a little convinced that Luo Yan occupies the ninth place. Some people even feel that it is too low for the ninth place.Looking at Changsun Wuji's performance in the Xuanwumen Incident, he was not much different from Luo Yan, so he ranked first.Not to mention Gao Shilian, who was still ahead of Luo Yan.

Seeing that these people have all been made dukes of the state, Li Shimin also had good intentions. Not only did he promote Luo Yan to Zhuozhuo Lang, he was in charge of the Literary Bureau of the Secretary Supervisor. Xin Guogong actually granted [-] households food towns.It stands to reason that this award is indeed worthy of such an award.

However, what the courtiers didn't expect was that the memorial that Luo Yanjian refused to give came up the next day.The reason is unknown, but he refused to give up his resignation anyway.This embarrassed Li Shimin, how to fix it?
There is no other way, call Luo Yan to ask him in person.

"Why is Qing not rewarded?" Annoyed, Li Shimin had a love-hate feeling for this courtier who often did not show his face but was determined not to be underestimated.

"My minister is bold. I told His Majesty before that I am young, and I am afraid that I will not have enough talent and virtue, so I don't want to get lucky." Luo Yan replied very respectfully.At this time, Li Shimin was already the emperor. Although Luo Yan regarded him as an ordinary person in his heart, he still had to work hard on the surface.

"Aiqing contributed a lot to the Xuanwumen incident, and saved the lives of the widow. Isn't this credit enough for Aiqing to be a prince?" As for the meritorious ministers, Li Shimin is really a good person who ranks among the top in history. Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, the two who took the initiative to rebel, were killed in the past few decades. It was Yu Chigong who was arrogant and rude in the future, and Li Shimin just used some tricks to let him stay in the Duke's mansion and live peacefully. Yiying's treatment has not changed at all.

"I know your Majesty's earnest intentions, but it is because of this that I am afraid and dare not accept it. In the last Han Dynasty, Qi Wang Han Xin was killed, and Jianghou Zhou Bo was imprisoned. Is it just because the ruler is not benevolent? Power, arrogance has no form, and if the ruler does not impose punishment, he will die proudly. I am twenty-one this year, and my life is long. Once I have power in my hands, I will not forget my form. Your majesty gave me a high official, but in fact gave me a dead end. "Luo Yan can't care about the suspicion that Li Shimin is not a benevolent king now.

Sure enough, Li Shimin was furious after hearing this: "That's how Aiqing sees me."

Luo Yan was really anxious at this moment. He knelt down on the ground profusely with sweat, and said anxiously: "It is because I am afraid that I will offend His Majesty's wisdom that I dare to refuse like this. How can you always be stable when you are young? If you don’t measure up, disaster will come. It will be too late for regret.”

Li Shimin thought about it, this person Luo Yan, to be honest, this age is really too early for a prince.If there are any achievements in the future, should he always be awarded Shiyi?This is impossible, the duke's food town must have a certain number, wanton rewards will damage the foundation of the country.Is it even more impossible to be the king of a county in the end? Foreign surnames are not allowed to be kings. This is a commonly known rule that has been agreed for many years.Even Li Yi, who was named the King of Yan County when he first voted for Tang, was a little bit out of control now.

So Li Shimin asked the reason for Luo Yan's refusal, and agreed to Luo Yan's request.But agreeing doesn't mean that he won't be rewarded, otherwise how would the court treat him.

After letting Luo Yan leave, Li Shimin called his brother-in-law.

"Auxiliary machine, you've heard about Luo Yan, right?" Facing the person he trusted the most, Li Shimin spoke very casually.

"Your Majesty, don't say it's about me. I'm afraid the whole city of Chang'an will be turned against Yingtian at this time. Whoever has seen someone who thinks he's a big official, this Luo Yan is really too nonsense." Changsun Wuji was also arrested. Luo Yan's somewhat puzzling approach made him dumbfounded.

"I called him just now. Guess what he said?"

"Could it be that he didn't get lucky again? Impossible. Your Majesty's award is naturally based on evidence. How could it be lucky? This Luo Yan is really too nonsense." Luo Yan said to Li Shimin before. If you are unlucky enough to get in, there will be a lot of rumors.Some say Luo Yan is straight, some say Luo Yan is stupid, and some say Luo Yan is up for grabs.However, to this day, Luo Yan's actions have indeed not violated his original statement.

"There is a reason for this. But there is another argument, saying that he is too young and has a high position in Chad. If he gets carried away, he may become Han Xin's second in the future. If you say that you are not angry, am I just a mediocre person like Liu Bang?" Li Shimin looked down on Liu Bang a little bit. Although he was the founding emperor, according to the history books handed down, he was good at employing people, and he was not good at anything else.Thinking about what Luo Yan said just now, Li Shimin was still a little angry.

This made Changsun Wuji laugh, if he was not afraid to insinuate that Li Shimin was a fool, Luo Yan would dare to do this. "Your Majesty is naturally different from Liu Bang, but what Luo Yan said is indeed reasonable."

Nodding his head, Li Shimin said: "I came here for this matter. He doesn't want the Duke, and he doesn't want the city, but he has to give rewards. But if there are too few rewards, it will be criticized. This Luo Yan, but It gave me a big problem."

"I have heard for a long time that Luo Yan was alone since he was a child, but he was able to study in Chang'an to take the exam because he was sponsored by his righteous brother. If it is not the case, make Luo Yan the Duke of Jianguo County, and add his food. Then make his brother-in-law the male of Jianguo County, As usual, the food city is advocating its benevolence and righteousness. In this way, the courtiers have nothing to say."

Changsun Wuji's move can indeed be called brilliant.Everyone is working so hard, isn't it just to gain fame and seal their wives and children.Now that Luo Yan is alone, this wife Yinzi is naturally empty talk, but in Luo Yan's network, there happens to be such a brother-in-law, and what he has done is indeed worthy of praise.

In this way, although the sum of food and wealth of the two people is indeed not as much as that of a duke, it is a very generous reward to be able to pass on the rewards for their achievements to others, so in this way, it is not only able to block Everyone's mouths, and even pulled Luo Yan tightly.

The next day, Li Shimin issued an imperial decree specifically for Luo Yan's award.Luo Yan was granted the title of Duke of Lujiang County, with [-] households in Shiyi, and he was still granted the title of author.There is Feng Chang of Luzhou, who has many righteous names, and is specially granted the title of male in Shucheng County, with fifty households in Shiyi.

As soon as the reward came out, the government and the public were shocked.Everyone knows who Luo Yan is, but who is Feng Chang who suddenly appeared, everyone muttered.Someone with a heart inquired carefully, and only then did he know that Feng Chang of Luzhou was Luo Yan's sworn brother.This time it was so lively. Li Shimin passed on the rewards to his relatives. This is a precedent. Everyone is enthusiastic. For the sake of his family, he must also work hard for the Tang Dynasty. Don't you see, Feng Chang of Luzhou, just because of Luo With Yan Yan's relationship, he won a baron for nothing.

　Thank you for the rewards of Hui Ge Returning to the Sun and Turning the Tide, Gu Meng Broken Du Can Yue, and Yu Jian 1.I'm sorry for turning back the tide and turning the tide. Now, I'm going to correct my mistake.
