Chapter 385 sealed reward
After separating, Li Ke and the rest of them quickly integrated into the group and followed the sealed group back to the palace.
After everyone returned to the palace, in the square in front of the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin once again addressed these generals, and then it was Wang De holding the imperial decree being read aloud for the reward.
As a general was promoted for his war service, a burst of voices of thanks rang out in front of the Taiji Hall, and such a scene is also the first time in the Great Tang, in the past, many military generals were sealed is a eunuch with the imperial decree on the line, but this time in Li Chengqian’s proposal, all the military generals who were awarded more than five grades were in front of the Taiji Hall to accept the rewards, which makes all military generals are honored, just this scene to see countless ministers, the envy and jealousy ah! The envy and jealousy hate ah!
However, when Wang De read to Li Ke and Li Tai, heard the two princes of the Great Tang, in this conquest of the Turkic, personally embarked on the battlefield, and killed countless, and a military service was awarded a first-class king, all present, including those who do not know Li Ke and Li Tai on the battlefield of the generals, all feel a burst of unbelievable, especially when he heard that Li Tai was named King of Qin, it is a kind of ghost look.
After all, the title of King of Qin, earlier but Li Shimin’s title, now Li Tai was appointed King of Qin, which makes some people, have a different idea.
But there are also a few people who know the inside story, such as Du Ruhi, they can only marvel at Li Chengqian’s heart and temperament, because this reward is Li Chengqian himself proposed!
However, this is not the climax of the reward, the real climax is Li Shimin himself announced the policy towards the East Turkestan and Khitan, and recognized Li Xiaogong, the Yuan King of Hetian, as the governor of the soon-to-be-established Northern Court, as well as announcing the establishment of the Royal Academy of Military Science of the Great Tang Dynasty.
This announcement, let all the civil officials and military generals directly on the boiling, because this represents the court not only defeated the Turkic, but also completely rule the original Turkic occupation of all places, which marks from the north of a large area of land will be the land of the Great Tang, how can they not let them excited, at once all people are shouting His Majesty’s holy, Great Tang long live slogans.
As for Jie Li Khan, Li Shimin still didn’t kill, but also didn’t knighted, just gave a loose official, confined him in Chang’an, to the earlier surrendered Turi Khan, was recognized by Li Shimin as Zhang Gongjin’s deputy.
When everything was over, Li Shimin was in front of the Taiji Hall square, feasting on his ministers.
”I say, Cheng Old Demon, you’re there looking around, what in the world are you looking at” After the banquet started, Yuchigong, who was at the same table with Cheng Bite Jin, saw that just after sitting down Cheng Bite Jin was looking around, and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
”Black charcoal head, you know a ghost, I am looking for, that group of cubs, this banquet is about to start, how they are not in one, even the king of Zhao and the king of Qin are not in, this is not and reason ah! Could it be” Cheng Bite Jin glanced at Yuchigong, then slowly said to him, finally he thought of something, a pat on the thigh to stand up and want to go.
”Cheng old demon, what are you doing, this banquet is about to start, what are you mad about” Yuchigong saw Cheng Bite Jin want to go, a hand to pull him down and asked in a low voice.
”You black charcoal head give me to let go, did not see the king of Zhao and Qin king and the white tiger guards those little cubs are not in it! They must have gone to the crown prince to eat delicious go, I also want to go over, and you did not find the reward when the crown prince has not shown up, he must be in the east palace to get what delicious, I have listened to my daughter said, the crown prince’s handiwork that but want to be quite good, but usually do not have the opportunity to, to the second brother Qin did not eat a lot of the dishes made by the crown prince, so this time I have to go to eat eat” Cheng Bite Jin like Cheng Bite Jin like to shake off Yuchigong to leave by himself, but Yuchigong just won’t let go, coupled with the fact that their table is familiar with the military generals, he also did not avoid avoiding it, and said the speculation in his heart.
And when Cheng Bui Jin’s words came out, it made everyone sitting at their table feel unbelievable, the Crown Prince personally cooked for the generals, they all looked at Cheng Bui Jin with disbelief on their faces.
”All of you don’t look at me like that, this is definitely true, haven’t you seen that Qin Erge isn’t even there anymore? And I’m telling you, that group of white tiger guards teenagers, that year is the crown prince single-handedly selected and set up, and the early stage of training the crown prince is and they ate with the same living with the training for three months, so the crown prince can personally cook, that is absolutely possible” Cheng Bite Jin said a lot of other people don’t know the secret.
”This, the crown prince as much as this, then you still go to the lively, you are not afraid of the crown prince to drive you out” heard Cheng Bite Jin words, sitting beside him Hou Junji opened his mouth to say.
”The crown prince drive me, that is impossible, in January, the crown prince will return to marry my daughter, then are a family, how will the crown prince drive me, so black charcoal head you quickly give me loose” heard Hou Junji words, Cheng Bite Jin contemptuous smile, said to him.
Sure enough once Cheng Bite Jin’s words came out, not only Hou Jun Ji, even the others looked at Cheng Bite Jin with envious faces.
”Che, it’s not just your daughter marrying the Crown Prince! My son will also marry Princess Nanping! And I’ve asked around, the Crown Prince favors his own sister, so what are you so proud of, it’s just a Crown Princess!” Hearing Cheng Biaojin’s words, Yuchigong said with great disdain.
”Daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, can this be the same? But if this is the case, then black charcoal head, do you want to go with me, and so on that a few sour showmen how to go, and still to the direction of the East Palace, no, we also quickly, or a moment will have no food,” Cheng Bie Jin heard the words of Yuchigong, very unhappy back to a sentence, but soon he saw Du Ruhi and others and and they share the same table of Li Jing, Li Lei, Li Xiaogong got up! left, and still heading towards the East Palace, he immediately became anxious and whispered to Yuchigong and the others.
Then he didn’t care whether they agreed or not, pulled Yuchigong and left, Chai Shao saw this and also pulled aside Zhang Shigui to chase after Cheng Biaojin and they left, leaving Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others sitting at this table.
”It’s just food! What haven’t we eaten before, really,” Hou Junji said with some dissatisfaction as he looked at Cheng Biejin and the others who left.
In fact, he also wanted to go, but he and Li Chengqian were not familiar with each other in the first place, nor did he have a certain relationship like Chai Shao, so it was definitely not possible for him to go at this risk.
To Zhang Gongjin and other people hesitated for a while, also got up and followed them, in the end there was no one at their table, just Hou Junji was sitting there alone, he looked around, he was the only one, he finally got up helplessly, and went to chase them.
And this scene, Li Shimin who was sitting on the high platform was watching clearly, but he didn’t stop them, after all, even he would like to go over there, because he knows his eldest son’s temper, this brat will definitely make a lot of delicious food today, but he can’t leave such an occasion.
As for those civil officials and military generals who noticed Du Ruhi and the others leaving, although they were curious as to why they left, but seeing that Li Shimin didn’t stop them, they didn’t say anything, but waited there for the food to be served.
