Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Among them, there were a few that Li Qiu paid more attention to. First, the Lujiang kings Li Ai and Li Youliang rebelled in the south, and then Liang Shidu in the north caused trouble.

Then there are a series of problems caused by the scattered refugees caused by the severe drought in Shandong and Guanzhong.

In addition, there are all kinds of troubles and problems from various places.

After seeing these, Li Qiu couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

The position of the emperor is not so easy to assume.

If I were there instead, I would be in a state of desperation and suffer from insomnia every night.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also sighed for this series of difficult questions.

"Regarding the refugees caused by this famine, don't ignore it."

"This matter, Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu, and Wei Zheng, you should work out a solution as soon as possible."

"As for the King of Lujiang and Li Youliang, it's nothing, just let Yuchi Jingde lead the army to wipe them out."

"It's this abhorrent Liang Shidu who has worked for tigers all these years, betrayed the country for glory, and recognized a thief as his father. How many soldiers and people of the Tang Dynasty have died in his hands?!"

"Now the Turks have suffered a serious defeat, and their vitality has been seriously injured, so they can't take care of them for the time being."

"It's time to settle the score with him!"

"Chai Shao, Xue Wanjun, you two lead an army and go north to attack Liang Shidu."

"Shi Liumin, governor of Xiazhou, and Sima Liu Lancheng, attack the enemy's flank, waiting for an opportunity to attack..."

When today's morning court came to an end and many major events had been explained, Li Shimin waved to the eunuch beside him.

Immediately, a decree that shocked everyone was read out:

Li Qiu, Duke of Yue, General of Shenwu, thirteen states including Youzhou, Jizhou, Pingzhou, Yizhou, Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou, Shenzhou, Zhaozhou, Dezhou, Yizhou, etc. State fiefdom, one thousand households enjoy food.

Granted the governor of Youzhou, the military and government affairs of the twelve states of Jizhou, Pingzhou, Yizhou, Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou, Shenzhou, Zhaozhou, Dezhou, and Yizhou. official.

He is also the assistant general of the country, the second rank, and the official of the Ministry of War.

In addition, the Ci mansion, Furong Garden.

After hearing the reading about Li Qiu, the entire Tai Chi Hall was completely silent.

Because everyone, including Li Qiu, was dumbfounded...

Interpret this award to Li Qiu.

Needless to say, the fiefdoms of the thirteen prefectures first, except for the crown prince and King Wei, there is no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who has more fiefdoms than Li Qiu.

Even Li Ke, who is sought after by countless veterans, is only a fief of eight states.

More importantly, Li Qiu was also in charge of the military and government affairs of the twelve prefectures except Youzhou.

This power is too great.

To put it bluntly, all civil and military officials in these thirteen states must be managed by Li Qiu.

Of course, there is an officer of the Ministry of War at the end.

It means that Li Qiu doesn't need to take office, and can continue to live his comfortable life in Chang'an City.

Besides, there are one thousand households in the food town.

At present, the food town of the prince of the Tang Dynasty is [-] households, the most.

Other princes like Li Tai, King of Wei, and Li Ke, King of Shu, are only [-] households.

As for Li Qiu, he directly rewarded a thousand households, surpassing King Wei.

In addition, let's talk about the position of the second-rank general of the auxiliary country.

The rank is higher than Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde, but only slightly lower than Li Jing and Chai Shao.

And more importantly, it is not an official!

In layman's terms, it means that you get your salary for nothing and don't have to work.

It's just a vain job of a second rank, so as not to be looked down upon by others!

Originally, Li Shimin planned to give Li Qiu a false position from the second rank or the third rank, but because of today's incident, he simply gave Li Qiu the false position of the general of the Fuguo.

This is amazing.

Finally, let’s talk about this Hibiscus Garden.

Chapter 116 I Thank You

This Furong Garden is the Li Palace of the Sui Dynasty.

Located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, it occupies an area of ​​[-] hectares, with a circumference of [-] miles.

In the garden, there are vast mansions and corridors, continuous and curved. The land is vast and cool, across the plains.

Absolutely an amazing luxury palace!

It can be said that in Chang'an City, in terms of unique scenery, even the imperial palace can't compare.

So when the officials heard this series of rewards, they were completely dumbfounded.

I'm afraid it's not because my ears are broken, I'm hearing hallucinations, right?

After a moment of silence in the hall, there was a sudden burst of loud discussions.

At this time, Prime Minister Feng Deyi stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I think that your majesty's reward to Li Qiu is too high and inappropriate, right?"

"Let's talk about the fiefdoms and powers of the thirteen states first. I'm afraid they have surpassed all the princes except the crown prince and King Wei."

"And there are more food towns with a thousand households than Wei Wang Li Tai, let alone other princes and nobles in the court."

"There is also the official position of the second-rank Fuguo General, which is almost higher than most of the meritorious generals in the court."

"Could it be that Li Qiu, who has only made a small contribution, has surpassed the generals who have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty in the past few decades?"

"If Your Majesty has such an unreasonable canonization, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the ministers and the people of the world!"

"That's why the old minister has the guts to implore His Majesty to take back the order and think again and again."

Behind Feng Deyi, others also stood up one after another.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Feng is right."

"This Li Qiu is just a small merchant in the city of Chang'an. Could it be that he is in the second rank of the official rank and ranks in the imperial class just by virtue of a little military exploits?"

"Wouldn't it make me shame on the faces of the nobles in the world?"

"Your Majesty, the Furong Garden is the Li Palace of the previous dynasty, which is of great significance. It has always been the residence of the royal family."

"In our dynasty, and even in the previous dynasty, there is no precedent for rewarding courtiers with such gardens."

"I implore Your Majesty to think twice!"

"Your Majesty, I also think that it is not appropriate for Your Majesty to bestow Li Qiu's fiefdom and food."

"Your Majesty, please take it back..."

At this time, facing the unanimous opposition of their large group of people, which accounted for almost [-]% of the courtiers, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

"De Yi, and you courtiers."

"You keep saying that Li Qiuli's achievements are small, and cannot be compared with other people's decades of achievements."

"Then I'll ask you, Li Qiu saved me this time, and saved everyone in Chang'an City, including you."

"Could it be that my life, your own life, the lives of all the people in Chang'an City, and the entire country of the Tang Dynasty are small merits in your eyes?"

"If Li Qiu hadn't been there, the person sitting on this dragon chair would have been Na Jieli!"

"That's why I think it's nothing to reward Li Qiu with fiefdoms in more than a dozen remote states and some food towns."

"As for what you said about disdain to be with him and be the same as the leader of the court, I can promise you this."

"Although Li Qiu is a second-rank official, he doesn't know the official position. He doesn't need to go to court early. He only needs to listen to the announcement at any time and go to Chengqing Palace to participate in the government affairs."

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, the people below almost vomited blood.

Why did a group of people talk about it, not only did Li Qiu not be dismissed as a reward, but on the contrary, he was further awarded?

This Chengqing Hall participates in government affairs, commonly known as the elders in the pavilion, but it is far from as simple as imagined.

Those who can enter that place to discuss government affairs with Li Shimin and determine the overall situation are all at the prime minister level, absolute important ministers.

The entire Tang Dynasty was full of calculations, and there were no more than ten people.

Even the prince Li Chengqian is not even qualified to go in and listen!

But what kind of person is this Li Qiu, who can go in to participate in the government affairs and decide on state affairs?

This is simply inexplicable!

"His Majesty!"

"It's even more inappropriate for His Majesty to arrange this way?!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, how can this Li Qiu have any virtue, no matter what, he is not qualified to enter Chengqing Hall!"

At this time, Li Shimin stared at the dragon case, "You don't let him go to the court with you, I can promise you that he won't let him go to the morning court."

"Could it be that if I let you come to my Chengqing Palace, it's also blocking your eyes?"

"This matter is over, I have made up my mind, there is no need to mention it again!"

"As for the Furong Garden, since there is no precedent for rewarding courtiers, then I will set this precedent."

"Also, you have to remember that this Furong Garden is not completely rewarded to Li Qiu."

"There is also a reward for the late Duke of Yue, Luo Cheng."

"After Li Qiu settles the Furong Garden properly, the Queen and I will witness the marriage of Li Qiu and Luo Cheng's daughter together!"

"I also want to use this to set an example to the world."

"I, and Datang, will never forget those heroes who contributed and sacrificed for this country and this nation!"

In the past, facing the protests and opposition of so many courtiers, Li Shimin always chose to compromise or simply compromise.

But this time, Li Shimin's tough attitude far exceeded everyone's expectations.

I can't imagine it!

With no other choice, today's court will come to an end.

The series of heavy rewards about Li Qiu has also been implemented.

According to the past, after the court meeting, Li Shimin would have breakfast with many ministers.

But today was a bit special, Li Shimin just threw up his sleeves and walked away without even eating breakfast.

In order not to worry about Feng Deyi and his group chattering around him.

As for the group of ministers headed by Feng Deyi, they were in a bad mood, and under extreme annoyance, they simply stopped eating, and left one by one angrily shaking their sleeves.

Especially when passing by Li Qiu, who was eating with a bowl of rice, his eyes wanted to swallow Li Qiu alive.

For them, Li Qiu didn't care much, and even bowed to them occasionally.

I was still silently saying thanks: I thank you, and I don’t have to go to the morning court from now on.

The eldest grandson Wuji beside him looked at him and smiled, "How is it, you are happy now?"

"What did I say before, some idiots like to shoot themselves in the foot with stones."

Author Jun, thanks again to all the lords and fairies for your rewards and gifts!The author is very grateful, bow and thank you!

Chapter 117 No, no, no or no

Facing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Qiu saluted with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Master Changsun, the Furong Garden that His Majesty rewarded the boy today, as well as those fiefdoms and food towns, should have a lot of money?"

"Then am I going to be rich?"

Changsun Wuji smiled, "That's not necessarily true."

"You kid, you are too naughty."

"Others are all over their heads for meritorious service, but you are lucky, you only care about how much money you have to spend every day!"
