Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Three: Edict Wei Guogong
Staying in the palace, Qin Shaoyou naturally was not qualified to enter the back garden, so he could only live in a side hall next to Xuanzheng Hall.
The imperial court began to be dazzled by a series of methods.
First, Wu Chengzheng went to the vassal state of the Prime Minister and brought soldiers to the court, and took more strict supervision of the Prime Minister Li Dan.
After that, a group of Li Longji's remnants were eliminated, but this time, not much was involved. At least the Wang family was not involved for the time being. Any of the five surnames and seven families was much more difficult to move than most of the time. In addition, the twenty guards of the Nanya were reorganized and the garrisons in the palace were replaced again.
Wu Zetian pleaded for all officials because of Qin Shaoyou, and the price was to erase his contribution.
Of course, this is just a look.
A few days later, Wu Zetian and several ministers from Xuanzheng Hall discussed with each other, and asked Wan'er to come to find Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou, who was staying in the palace, naturally had more contact with Shangguan Wan'er. After staying in the waiting room for a long time, Wan'er would come to Xuanzheng Hall to talk to Qin Shaoyou. She had a lot of knowledge and Qin Shaoyou's knowledge was also broad. One person's knowledge came from the vast sea of books in Lingyan Pavilion, while the other was a person of two lifetimes, and he knew the sufferings of the world. In the past, what the two said was mostly XX in the court, and it was nothing more than a fight for power and profit. Now that he was idle, he talked about everything and was idle.
Wan'er called Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou arrived at Xuanzheng Hall and saw many people kneeling in the hall, including Cui Feng, Di Renjie, Wang Fangqing, Yang Zaisi, Wu brothers, etc.
In fact, Qin Shaoyou knew that the court had begun to reshuffle. He was not familiar with the newly promoted ministers of the three provinces. These people who were naturally proud of each other, while Wang Fangqing looked depressed. It is said that His Majesty had the intention to make him compile literature and history. Although this position has a high status, his authority was completely seized by Guo, but he was successful and defeated. There is really nothing to say at the moment.
When Wu Zetian saw Qin Shaoyou, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Qin Qing, you should teach people how to wait. Come and listen to Cui Qing's meaning."
Cui Xi coughed and said, "Captain Qin made an important contribution to quelling the rebellion. I think that since he has made merit, there is no reason to not reward him because of his words. If so, wouldn't it be a condemnation of the court? This loyal and righteous man must be disappointed. I discussed with the officials of the three provinces and was amazed at the Tiance Army. It is reported that the Tiance Army defeated the flying cavalry in one fell swoop, and the court did not value the Tiance Army. "
He talked a lot.
But many words, to some extent, although they are flattering, have facts as basis.
In fact, Qin Shaoyou understood Cui Xu very much. Cui Xu had received his life-saving grace. After quelling the rebellion, Qin Shaoyou begged His Majesty to burn the letters of Linzi King's interactions. This solved a hidden danger for many ministers. The King of Linzi naturally felt heartbroken because he wanted to arrest the ministers. Therefore, the outside world had a very bad impression of Li Longji recently. Many rumors were laughing and scolding the failed emperor grandson. Unfortunately, there was no jokester under the overpass at this time, otherwise the King of Linzi would have really wanted to smear.
According to the law, if the enemy's enemy is a friend, the enemy of a bad person will naturally become a good person.
The ancients liked to separate everything from black and white. When you were blackened, you would be useless and useless. Since Li Longji was a useless person, Qin Shaoyou was naturally a fighter who dared to fight against the dark forces. Therefore, many Qing Dynasty remarks have improved the image of Qin Shaoyou.
At this time, a hot potato was thrown into Cui Feng's hand. Qin Shaoyou was very kind to Cui Feng. Captain Qin has made great contributions recently. His Majesty ignored his contributions. Others can think that he had not seen it. Are you Cui Feng?
When people live a life of life, Cui Feng had to set up a link. When the three provinces were discussing the matter, no one opposed it. On the one hand, it was selling Cui Feng's face. There was no need for everyone to play the opposite tune with Cui Feng. On the other hand, the court would inevitably not settle accounts after the fall. It would take some of Li Longji's remnants. Think about it, if you oppose this matter, you don't know, you would think you sympathize with Li Longji. If you are not a traitor, who is a traitor?
With just a few responses, I finally arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall and started brewing.
Cui Yue pinched his long beard and said, smiling: "So, in the foolish opinion of the old minister, it is the fault of the court for not rewarding merits, and so is such a merit? Anyone with the court has rules and those who have great military achievements will be ordered to the Duke of the Kingdom. When the former emperor was there, he valued the Black-Teared Chang and ordered him to be Duke of Yan. It was quoted as a good story. The meaning of the minister is that Qin Shaoyou's contribution this time is too great, so I ask Your Majesty to praise Qin Shaoyou's contributions to convince the public."
Cui Feng also took great pains to do this.
Since you want to reward, of course you have to think of a way, but how should you reward it? You cannot reward it in your duties. Could Captain Tiance be changed to General Tiance? The word Tiance is originally a taboo, so it is better to try your best to avoid it. After thinking about it, there is only a title.
I have to say that Qin Shaoyou's contribution is really extraordinary. If you really want to talk about it, it is to support the country in the big picture, and to the small picture, it is to save the emperor. No matter what, it cannot be small. Since you try your best to avoid it in your ministry, you have to commend him for his title. This person is already a county duke, and giving it to a county duke online is not enough, because the Tang Dynasty has always been very willing to give military merits. If you have made great contributions, you will have no scruples to reward you.
Therefore, it is also considered equivalent to a Duke directly.
Wu Zetian just smiled, but looked around and said, "What do other ministers mean?"
Di Renjie said: "The place where Captain Qin was granted was Mengjin. Mengjin belonged to Wei, so he might as well be appointed as Duke of Wei."
Di Renjie had even thought about the title, and the meaning he expressed was naturally extremely obvious.
After the two of them spoke, the others had nothing to say. Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "I will discuss the proposal of Mr. Cui."
Of course, Qin Shaoyou had to listen to the audience and could not join in the fun. However, the sudden popularity of this thing has suddenly become so good that he was stunned. Although he knew that his relationship with many people had improved invisibly, such a response also surprised him.
Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then follow the words of all the ministers."
Wu Zetian seemed to feel that it was not enough. In fact, she thought that the imperial guards were always unreliable, especially after experiencing the incident of Wu Yizong, this feeling became more and more obvious. The Tiance Army was stationed outside the city, just balanced the imperial guards in the city. With this rescue, anyone who wanted to have any plans was bound to weigh it.
Wu Zetian is different from the Li family. The Li family has a big and deep roots and is mixed. However, Wu Zetian, the emperor, is just a rootless duckweed. Because he has no foundation, he can only rely on the skills of leveraging the power to fight. This is really a embarrassing this female emperor. In fact, she had the intention to lay the foundation of the Wu family as early as when Emperor Gaozong was there. It's a pity that the people of the Wu family themselves are not good, so checks and balances are the top priority for Wu Zetian.
She wanted to do this, but now Cui Yue's intention was to give great benefits to the title. Once she was granted the title of Duke, it means that there is no need to continue to improve on the Tiance Mansion.
Wu Zetian narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time, saying, "But I think again, Qin Shaoyou's contribution is rewarded, but what about the soldiers of the Tiance Army? I heard that there was a man named Wang Er who killed seven rioters, and the commander Fang Jing, who made great contributions. I cannot favor one or the other. This is why not. Tiance will be changed to Tiance Guard, independent of the Northern and Southern Yaya, and the upper and lower Yayas, all the guards will be granted Yongye Field. This field..." Wu Zetian narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't there a large piece of wasteland in Hebei? Why not give it to them."
There are many explanations for the so-called Hebei. You can understand it as the area north of the Yellow River or the administrative area of Hebei Road. However, the so-called Hebei in Wuzekou is north of the Yellow River, which is far away from Mengjin. There is indeed a wasteland there. In fact, this land occupies a large area. At the beginning, it was because the river water was flooded there and flooded it. In addition, the war chaos in the early Tang Dynasty led to weeds everywhere, making it a borderless place. However, when Emperor Gaozong was there, he changed the capital to the eastern capital Luoyang. However, Luoyang and Chang'an were different. Chang'an was Guanzhong, and there were passes on all sides, and one man could not open the passes on all sides. However, Luoyang belongs to Guandong and its geographical location was a little worse. Although there were passes around, there were almost no danger to defend in the north. Once a thief army came from the north, Luoyang became the target of public criticism.
In order to change this situation, Wu Zetian thought of a way, which was the method of the later Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, planting trees in the north of Kaifeng and creating a land plant. This method was actually created by Wu Zetian. She issued an order not to reclaim this land, and also planned to plant trees as the northern barrier of the entire Luoyang. At that time, Wu Zetian had just ascended the throne, and was in turmoil and uneasy in the world, so this matter was implemented. However, later, the world gradually became peaceful, and Wu Zetian was not interested in the matter of planting trees. Although the matter of planting trees was abandoned, the decree had been issued, so it was always deserted. The people who reclaimed the land could not leave because of the ban from the court, and the afforestation was not enthusiastic about it, and no one went to care about it.
But now, Wu Zetian suddenly thought about it, but seemed to want to turn that piece of land into a treasure.
