Chapter 51 Unexpected Promotion (Chapter 1)

When Li Gang saw that Li Yuan was so unreasonable, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.

Pei Ji coughed and said, "Your Majesty, after Wei Huo, no one can match the ministers!"

When Li Yuan saw that all the ministers in the hall showed unbearable look at him. Li Yuan sighed casually: "I have lost my words!"

If the emperor in the Qing Dynasty was really a golden word. Even if the emperor said it wrong, it would become right if it was wrong. Because all the ministers in the court were cowards and soft-hearted.

Li Gang nodded seriously, with a look of "a child who can teach" in his eyes.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Yuan quickly raised another issue: "Consider merits and rewards!"

Rewards will be rewarded for any merits, and punishments will be punished for any mistakes. This is the real reason why the Tang army can be invincible. If a dynasty really fails to reward for any merits and failures, it will basically live to the end. Millions of Qin troops swept across the six countries and unify the world. However, in the later stage, they lost consecutive battles, which was disappointing.

It was not that the Qin army became weaker, nor that the enemy was stronger. It was because the second generation acted recklessly, destroying the farming and war system of the Qin Empire and destroying the 20th-class Qin system. Zhang Han, the Shaofu, used Mount Li to form an army and used freedom as the reward target. It can be said that it recasted the Qin army spirit, but the second generation Hu Hai refused to fulfill his promise. The second generation lost his trust in the prisoners of Mount Li, while the Li Mountain prisoners caused the second generation to lose their country.

Li Yuan, who was familiar with history, attached great importance to the issue of rewards, so the Tang Empire became stronger and stronger as it fought. However, at this time, the problem arose again.

Chen Ying defeated the four Turkic formations one after another, beheaded nearly 20,000 levels, captured more than 30,000 people, and even killed Shibi Khan. How to reward it is a big problem.

Chen Ying was so capable, and Li Jiancheng was also very happy as the recommended person. He showed his face very much. Finally, he did not let Li Shimin favor him in terms of military merits.

Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Ying was too young and is now a fourth-rank high-ranking official. If he was rewarded again, it might not be a good thing for him!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: Prince, from your own perspective, how should Chen Ying reward him?"

"If you can't reward officials, then you will be awarded a title!" Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Ying is now the uncle of Xiuwu County, so he will be promoted to the sixth-class Huwu County Marquis, with a fief of 1,000 households. He will be granted 1,500 acres of permanent land!"

Although Li Yuan was unhappy with Li Jiancheng's hand stretching too long, it is undeniable that Li Jiancheng was fair in his heart and did things. He did not favor one point because Chen Ying was his disciple. The only exception was to give one hundred acres of land. Chen Ying was a sixth-class founding county marquis, and he was regarded as a second-rank. According to the system, he should be given 1,400 acres of Yongye land, but Li Jiancheng mentioned 1,500 acres.

Is there more than one hundred acres of land?

To say that there are few, there are really a lot, but according to Chen Ying's contribution, there are really not many.

However, just when Li Yuan was about to ask Chu Suiliang to draft an order, Li Gang spoke out: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is inappropriate!"

Li Jiancheng bowed and said, "Master Li, what should you do if you think you should do it?"

Li Gang said: "In ancient times, Ganluo was the Shangqing at the age of twelve, and Huo Qubing was awarded the title of Champion Marquis at the age of 17, with a fief of 1,600 households. He was appointed as the magistrate of the Piao Yao School and the magistrate of the Han Dynasty. His position was as a third-rank general in the Tang Dynasty. He deserved the title of Champion Marquis. How could General Chen not be?"

Pei Ji also said: "Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!" When the ministers saw Li Gang coming forward, they stood up and supported Chen Ying.

Li Yuan naturally had Li Yuan's considerations. Chen Ying defeated the Turks in the north, which was a great pleasure. At the same time, it also allowed those who were interested to spread rumors that Li Yuan praised the Turks and failed to defeat him. Chen Ying's unintentional actions made Li Yuan extremely happy.

Although Li Yuan was the supreme emperor at this time, the Turkic Ye protected him, at most, he was equivalent to the title of the Tang Dynasty. When he saw him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he not only did not kneel down, but instead acted arrogantly and arrogantly. This made Li Yuan very dissatisfied.

Rewarding Chen Ying is actually more beneficial to Li Yuan. Chen Ying is like a horse bone, and he can play a very good role and attract heroes from all over the world to use for Li Yuan.

Li Gang's meaning is very clear. Chen Ying is not an important official position, and there is no reward for reward, so he can only increase his title. At this time, there is no conflict between increasing the title and granting titles.

In fact, Li Yuan thought about it, the news that Chen Ying defeated the Turks had been spread to the world by him. As time went by, separatist forces such as Luoyang Wang Shichong, Hebei Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and other separatist forces would have learned the news. At this time, Chen Ying was like a news headline in later generations, and any actions about Chen Ying would fall into the eyes of those who are interested.

If it is unfair, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to cause trouble. You should know that it is not only the Tang Dynasty who have been deeply harmed by the Turks, but Dou Jiande, Hebei, is also deeply affected by it. However, in comparison, Dou Jiande is stronger and has a condensed territory. Unlike the three enclaves in the Tang Dynasty, they are not connected to each other and are easily defeated by each other.

If Chen Ying is not highly rewarded, Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong will never be stingy with the rewards.

In fact, Li Yuan was really thinking too much at this time. Even if Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong gave Chen Ying a title, he would not surrender to Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan said: "Crown Prince, how can you be promoted to Chen Ying's official position?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Then you will increase the honorary officer to the third turn, and to the Ninth turn General (the general who transferred the honorary officer to the twelve transfers in the tenth year of Zhenguan was changed to the superior guard and the guard respectively! He was appointed as the general of the Right Martial Guard."

The left and right Wuwei is a very special existence among the twelve guards. In fact, its defense zone is Chang'an City, responsible for the palace ban. If the left and right Wuwei is compared to the later Beijing Military Region, then the right Wu general is almost the deputy position of the Beijing Military Region to enter the Standing Committee.

"Not appropriate!" Li Yuan overturned Li Jiancheng's opinion without hesitation.

The reason is very simple. Li Yuan would never hand over his security guard work to a disciple of the prince.

Li Gang also said: "It's not appropriate!"

Pei Ji said: "It's not appropriate!"

Liu Wenjing said, "It's not appropriate!"

Li Shimin said: "It's not appropriate!"

Li Yuan’s inappropriateness is because he is worried about Chen Ying, while Li Gang’s inappropriateness is because Chen Ying was originally a fierce tiger, so how could he be a watchdog? Pei Ji’s inappropriateness is because Li Jiancheng used Chen Ying’s hands to control the Right Martial Guard, which was not good for Li Yuan. Liu Wenjing’s inappropriateness is purely because of different factions and opposition.

Li Shimin's inappropriateness is mainly consistent with Li Gang's opinion. Since Chen Ying defeated the Turks in a row, he should not return to Chang'an at this time, but instead guard the border of Lingzhou for the Tang Dynasty.

It would be fine if Li Jiancheng didn't mention Chen Ying's return to Chang'an, but Li Yuan wouldn't let him come back even more.
