Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I don't blame others, I missed his future, but this matter has to have an end, alas, according to Master Tianshi's instructions, let's find someone from the Buddhist sect to solve it."

Several people quickly nodded in agreement, and then began to give orders.

It's just that there are many masters in Buddhism, Su Chen said that he asked Xuanzang for help, but when Li Shimin heard that Xuanzang was only advanced in Buddhism and didn't know magic, he was a little worried.

He just ordered to go down and find Xuanzang and Master Tianshu together, and let them join forces to subdue demons.

After this night of tossing, Li Shimin was frightened again, and he couldn't sleep well, so he fell ill immediately.

The next day.

Li Shimin was groggy and wanted to sleep, the old eunuch and Empress Changsun also persuaded him to rest, but he felt that he had to go to the first court meeting when he returned to the palace.

Just hold on and go to the court.

above the hall.

All the civil and military officials came together, but they were very worried at this time because they heard what happened last night.

They didn't expect Li Shimin to be targeted by monsters, and everyone was worried.

Seeing that Li Shimin was fine, he was relieved.

There were also some disappointments.

Although Li Shimin was fine, his exhausted appearance still fell into the eyes of everyone. After shouting long live three times, they all stood in place.

Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and the others were a little worried, but they themselves yawned again and again. After all, they kept vigil last night without rest, and they were too old to hold on.

If they weren't already mortals, they probably couldn't stand it.

Knowing Li Shimin's situation, Wei Zheng and others took the initiative to report what happened in the past two or three years.

When they talked, they deliberately slowed down to give Li Shimin time to rest.

really.

After several ministers reported the internal affairs, an hour and a half passed, and Li Shimin also fell asleep for an hour and a half, recovering a little bit of vitality.

However, if you are sick, you are sick, and you have not recovered yet.

He just had some strength to speak, "Okay, during the two and a half years of my absence, Datang has been managed in an orderly manner by you, and I am very pleased."

Then he said: "I feel that it is Datang's blessing and my blessing that Datang has you."

The civil and military ministers all bowed down one after another, in great fear.

Then Li Shimin glanced at the old eunuch, and then the old eunuch Wuji came out and took out a bunch of imperial edicts.

These edicts were all written by Li Shimin before nightfall last night, written by the eunuchs, and stamped with jade seals.

Seeing that Li Shimin was weak, the old eunuch said, "Your Majesty feels that many people have contributed to the prosperity and development of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, we should reward them according to their merits."

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs suddenly lit up his eyes.

If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, there is no reward for half of it.

When the emperor was ill, he could think of rewarding them and making them happy.

After being thankful, the old eunuch began to pick up an imperial decree and was the first to confer rewards.

The first ones to be rewarded are the soldiers who have made great military exploits in Mobei. The first merit is naturally Zhang Shigui.

Originally, Xue Rengui's contribution should be greater than that of Zhang Shigui, but in fact he is also the commander of Mobei.

but.

After all, Zhang Shigui is the old man, and Mobei's supreme commander, so naturally he gets the most credit.

After Zhang Shigui was sealed, it was Xue Rengui.

"The great general Xue Rengui defeated Tie Le with nine surnames, defeated Goguryeo, and defeated Turks. His meritorious service is outstanding. He has a good strategy to stop fighting, three arrows to fix Tianshan Mountain, bravely conquer Liaodong, Xiangzhou City loves the people like a son, takes off his hat and retreats ten thousand enemies. He can be named Pingyang The Duke of the county, the leader of the right leader, the general of the guard, the inspector and the governor of the state."

When many people saw Xue Rengui's award, their eyes were straightened, and they were extremely envious, but they couldn't get jealous.

Because Xue Rengui's deeds have already been passed back to Chang'an, and all his deeds can be called miracles.

The achievements of many founding fathers are nothing more than that.

And Xue Rengui was directly named the Duke of the county by virtue of this Northern Expedition, which was really terrifying and made them jealous.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others sealed them with food and land.

All the generals were rewarded, and those who should be in the top position, and some who made mistakes, were directly reprimanded.

Then came the civil and military ministers who guarded the country, and the first ones to be awarded were Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling and others, all of whom received awards.

After the civil officials were conferred, the military generals guarding the country were also conferred. First of all, Cheng Yaojin, the garrison commander of Chang'an, was granted the title of food and land, and his other son was also given the title of Marquis.

It can be said that this award is unprecedented, and everyone is happy.

but.

There are three people who have contributed a lot to managing the country this time, but Li Shimin did not reward them.

That is Li Ke, King of Wu, Li Tai, King of Wei, and Li Zhi, King of Jin.

Jin Wang Li Zhi is the Minister of State Administration, Wei Wang Li Tai is the Minister of Fu Guo, and Wu Wang Li Ke is the Minister of State Supervision.

The three brothers are all very close and have made great contributions.

But Li Shimin seemed to ignore them, and the three of them stood below without saying a word, and they didn't seem to have any temper.

The old eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, and then said: "Your Majesty is tired. Your lords have something to announce, and you have nothing to do."

The civil and military ministers were all dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Li Shimin really didn't reward the three princes.

Someone couldn't stand anymore, and came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister of the Ministry of Rites is starting again. Wu Wang Li Ke, Wei Wang Li Tai, and Jin Wang Li Zhi have all contributed to the country, why not reward them?!"

He spoke out the aspirations of everyone, and because of him taking the lead, many people came forward to second the proposal.

Li Shimin opened his eyes with his eyes closed, and said, "What do you think they should reward?"

The civil and military ministers were all silent.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "However, what you said is also reasonable, then choose one of the three of them to be crowned prince, and the others will be crowned king of a hundred thousand households, so let's go!"

Chapter 247 I am getting old, Xuanzang eliminates demons

Pick one to be crowned prince? !

Whoa!

There was an uproar in the hall.

The civil and military ministers were all stunned, even the three kings were tense, and the hands in their sleeves trembled slightly.

They didn't expect Li Shimin to establish a prince as soon as he came back.

Moreover, it seems that he already has a candidate to choose from among the three of them.

You know, there are three other princes who are also competitive.

That is King Qi, King Shu, and King Jiang. Among them, King Shu has made it clear that he will not compete for the crown prince, and he has behaved very wildly.

However, the king of Shu has a good name in Shu.

For this reason, there are also ministers in the court who want to support him.

Wei Zheng's grandson Fang Xuanling, Zhu Suiliang, Tang Jian and others were all stunned. They didn't expect that Li Shimin was going to make a crown prince.

They are also very nervous, because almost every minister has a candidate for support.

Even if they didn't stand in line explicitly, they all showed their favor secretly.

If the expression is wrong, then the status in the future will be in jeopardy.

Li Shimin saw that the civil and military ministers were silent, and said again: "Why, you asked me to make a crown prince more than two years ago, now that I have finished the war, you are not happy to come back to set up a crown prince?!"

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, do you want to think long-term?"

Li Shimin said: "I'm just asking for your opinions now, and I don't have to choose them today."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin added: "But hurry up, I'm getting old too, and I have to hand over many things to the crown prince."

Afterwards, Li Shimin just fell asleep.

Immediately, someone came in lightly and moved the entire dragon chair away. During this period, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the nobles from all walks of life dared not show their pride.

However, the eyes of each of them are full of hope.

Many people's eyes rolled around, sweeping back and forth on Li Zhi, Li Tai and the other three kings, their breathing became rough.

because.

They knew that it was time for them to make a bet. If they could bet on a crown prince, they would be able to succeed in the future.

It's no problem to make rapid progress.

However, if you want to talk about nervousness, the three kings are the most nervous.

Even Li You, who had the least hope, had numb scalp and sweaty palms at this moment.

However, even so, they still have to pretend to be calm, because they know that now is the time for all the ministers to stand in line.

If they behave too frivolously, or their mentality is not stable enough, they will definitely be disgusted by others.

Even Wei Wang Li Tai, who had the greatest hope, had to suppress his inner excitement at this time.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister has a copy of Confucius left in Qi State, please move."

"His Royal Highness, the minister's house found a book left by Guan Zhong some time ago."

"His Royal Highness, although the old minister is old, he has always admired His Highness's talent and wants to worship His Highness as his teacher."

Most of the people are wandering around Wei Wang Li Tai, they all think that Li Tai's hope is the greatest.

The second is that someone approached Li Zhi.

"His Royal Highness, I feel that there should be other ways to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

"His Royal Highness Jin, there is a daughter in the minister's family who admires His Highness very much..."

Li Zhi also has many people who turn to him. Although he is far inferior to Wei Wang Li Tai, he is not regarded as a poor family.

As for Li Zhi, they never refused to seek refuge with them, and he did not deliberately avoid them as before in order to avoid suspicion.

Now Li Shimin has talked about this, making it clear that they will compete with each other.

If you still hide it, you are a fool.

Even Li You, who is known as a virtuous king and has nothing to do with the world, stood up and took the initiative to talk to a few ministers who were able to have fun on weekdays.

However, these ministers also hesitated.

To be honest, among the three kings, Li You had the least chance, so they didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Among the civil and military ministers, more than half of them started to stand in line, or planned to stand in line.

Only Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong and others are incompatible with many ministers. They are representatives of civil servants and generals, and they will not easily stand in line.

Unless the situation is very obvious, they will help, and that can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Secondly, since Li Shimin was still alive, it was impossible for them to take the initiative to seek refuge with a certain prince, even if that prince might become the prince.

However, it is these indisputable ministers and princes who are the most important in the court.

Just recruiting one of them can be worth more than half of the people in the court.

Therefore.

The three kings also understood this, and they all wanted to take the initiative to talk to each other.

However, Wei Zheng and others made excuses and left.

They will not communicate with the three kings in the court hall, who knows how many Li Shimin's eyeliners are in the Daming Palace.

Chang'an Avenue.

The ministers of the three provinces and six departments, as well as the houses of the ministers, were all trampled to death by the servants sent by the three kings.

There are also many ministers of civil and military affairs who are also walking around.
