In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuan directly issued an order without court discussion, on the grounds of "being in troubled times, without losing the heart of a child", Cheng Mingzhen, a fierce general under Dou Jiande, who had newly defected to the Tang Dynasty, as the general of Zhaozhou, the general of Sanpin Huaihua, and the founder of Liaoxi County, and gave 500 households of food.
This is a rare reward.
Not to mention the weight of the position of the chief manager, just the title of the founding county magistrate is enough to make many people red-eyed.
Without waiting for a cadre of ministers to dissuade him, Li Yuan issued several other holy decrees one after another.
First of all, the Qin king Shimin, who returned from victory, rushed to Hongnong and replaced the prince to monitor the movements of the Wagang army and the Luoyang army.
Then he ordered the old servant to shoot Pei Lin to return to Beijing to report on his work, and the vacated post of Hedong pacification envoy was transferred to the crown prince.
Compared with this follow-up series of actions, Cheng Mingzhen's failure to receive a reward is not worth everyone's attention.
After all, he is a newly attached foreign minister, and even if he is favored, he will not pose a threat to the princes of the court.
The rotation of positions between the King of Qin, the Crown Prince and the Right Servant means that the strength of the various factions in the DPRK and China has undergone new changes, and everyone can't help but deal with it carelessly.
The holy decree was sent to Liaodong, and the old servant shot Pei Lin was also surprised.
He previously strongly recommended Cheng Mingzhen to the imperial court, and it can be said that he did not contain the slightest selfishness.
But Li Yuan's holy decree, all his arrangements in Hedong in the past six months have been a little inexplicable.
However, the divine decree has already reached the upper party.
It is completely impossible to make Li Yuan change his mind.
Moreover, Shangdang County is much farther away from Jingshi than Hongnong County, and according to the calculation of time and day, at this moment, the prince Jiancheng has already handed over the defense with Qin Wang Shimin, and may have crossed the Yellow River.
The King of Qin had just made a great contribution to pacifying Western Chu.
The crown prince did nothing on the Eastern Front.
When he arrives in Hedong, he will definitely be in a hurry to gain prestige from Liu Wuzhou.
But his own arrangement was to use the assistance of Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Junkuo, two brave generals, to press Liu Wuzhou's strength back to Dingxiang little by little.
This strategy of slowly advancing and seeking stability rather than speed is obviously inconsistent with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eagerness to achieve success, and after he takes over the defense of Hedong, he will definitely have to change course.
"Old Lady Li, Old Lady Li, this time I will be miserable by you" Sending away the messenger, Pei Lin slapped the table with hatred in the Chinese military tent.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, an accusation of "hanging the teacher outside and failing to achieve success for a long time" will fall on his head.
Even if the crown prince wins the battle, people will not think of the foundation he has worked hard to lay for most of the past six months, but will think that he, the ambassador of comfort, has a heavy army but has no enterprising spirit.
For the King of Qin and his supporters, handing over the shelves that had been built to Jiancheng was tantamount to submitting a petition to the crown prince again.
Together with the previous enmity against Liu Wenjing, sooner or later it will have to be repaid with interest In an instant, Pei Lin seemed to see the Tang Emperor Li Yuan hiding in the shadow of the military tent, "hey, hey, hey" and smirked at himself.
The smile was full of the joy of the success of the conspiracy.
He firmly believes that with Li Yuan's old spiciness, he will not fail to see the additional consequences of this dispatch.
Perhaps, it was precisely because he saw clearly the additional effect behind the holy decree that Li Yuan insisted on doing so.
He wanted to brand himself and Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Junkuo and others with a "prince" seal on their heads, so as to balance the power of King Qin.
But that has to be done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
If a sheep has ten tigers and five foxes behind it, it will not have the courage of a tiger and the wisdom of a fox.
And behind a leopard, even if he leads a group of green wolves, with his cooperation, he can still tear the sheep under the heavy protection of tigers and foxes to pieces.
If you don't get it right, the fox and the tiger will have to put their lives into it After thinking about it, Pei Lin felt that it would be better to stay away from this "imperial family affair" maelstrom.
Some time ago, he framed Liu Wenjing involuntarily.
Now that he is thousands of miles away from the capital division, Li Yuan wants to force himself to stand in line, and it will not be so easy to succeed.
Thinking of this, he put away his anger and shouted outside the tent: "Go to someone, invite the new Cheng Xianbo to me."
Let's just say that the old man has something important to discuss with him."
The guards saw Pei Lin start a nameless fire just now, and they were afraid that they would accidentally be scorched.
At this moment, when he heard that Pei Lin had a new goal, he hurriedly agreed and hurriedly ran away.
After a while, Cheng Mingzhen came sweating profusely. didn't care about adjusting his breathing evenly, gave Pei Lin a junior gift, panted and asked, "My lord, you are looking for me" "Well, I'll tell you a few words.
You come forward.
Whoever is on duty outside, pull everyone away from me.
Within fifty steps, no one is allowed to pass by" Groundbreaking, Pei Lin did not say politely to Cheng Mingzhen, turned around and accepted the other party's salute, and then yelled outside the tent.
The commander of the guard stuck out his tongue and hurried to take the brothers fifty paces away to stand on guard.
Listening to the footsteps outside, Pei Lin sighed and asked in a low voice, "You have received all the holy decrees."

Tell me what it feels like."
"Juniors, juniors are flattered" Cheng Mingzhen grinned, and once again bowed his hand to Pei Lian, "The virtue recommended by adults, the juniors dare not forget it for the rest of their lives" "Speak less, to be polite.
The old man doesn't care about this, you yourself are not a person who is good at greeting" Pei Lin flicked his sleeves and strode back behind the handsome case.
Cheng Mingzhen's face turned red, and he quickly explained with a smile.
"Junior, junior, absolutely sincere.
The younger generation didn't expect that he could be named the county uncle of the founding country just after defecting to Datang.
The younger generation doesn't know how to express their gratitude to the adults."
These words come from the bottom of your heart, and they don't sound fake in the slightest.
Indeed, no one in the Zhaozhou camp expected that Tang Emperor Li Yuan would attach so much importance to Cheng Mingzhen.
According to the current system of the Tang Dynasty, the chief governor has the power to open the government and build a government, and can withhold local tax revenue for military equipment.
This is tantamount to retaining everything in the Yuzhou camp as it is.
At the same time, the title of the founding county earl is also equivalent to a step to promote Cheng Mingzhen into the ranks of emerging giants.
Not only can he enjoy many privileges, but his descendants can also be demoted to hereditary succession and blessing their descendants.
"Then how are you going to thank the court and the old man" Pei Lian's words today suddenly became very sharp, nailing Cheng Mingzhen's words and continuing to ask.
"The last general, the last general hasn't figured it out yet."
Cheng Mingzhen couldn't guess what Pei Lin meant, hesitated for a moment, and simply decided to tell the truth.
"Then do you know why the old man went to Juluze in person to persuade you" Pei Lin raised his eyes and stared at Cheng Mingzhen with a smile.
Cheng Mingzhen was a little hairy, and he didn't know what Pei Lin wanted to do today, if the old servant wanted to ask for a return, why didn't he hint a little more clearly.
He is not the kind of person who does not admit the account after taking the benefits, so he will not refuse him if he relies on the old servant to allocate materials everywhere to support the settlement of the old and young in the Zhaozhou battalion.
"Do you remember what the old man told you" Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen was silent, Pei Lian continued to ask.
"Seniors, seniors once said that they were determined to sweep away the war and rebuild peace.
In this way, we will also establish immortal deeds.
Cheng Mingzhen thought about it and responded solemnly.
"Good memory," Pei Lin smiled and nodded.
"That's exactly the purpose of the old man entering Juluze to persuade you to return to Tang.
The old man was also rewarded by His Majesty for this.
But do you think the old man's purpose has been fully achieved?"
"No" Cheng Mingzhen was not very accustomed to Pei Lian's way of speaking, thought about it, and hesitantly added, "But it can also be said that it has reached a part."
The Juluze waterway is in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and after the boss returns to Beijing, he can dispatch troops and horses at any time by His Majesty's side to smash Yongnian."
"You're smart," Pei Lin continued to nod.
"Don't worry, the old man called you here tonight, not to cultivate party henchmen.
The old man is already a very popular minister, as long as His Majesty is still there, the glory and wealth of the old man in this life can be guaranteed.
There are too many henchmen, but it is a burden."
Cheng Mingzhen quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
When he first arrived, he didn't want to get involved in the officialdom of Datang so early.
"Your Excellency is dedicated to the country, and Your Majesty must know it in your heart.
It is a blessing in this life for younger generations to have the opportunity to listen to the teachings of their predecessors."
"Nonsense" Pei Lin didn't want to listen to these sycophants.
"You are a general, not a minister.
Don't say these flattering things all the time.
You must know that if people bend over for a long time, it is easy to become a hunchback" "Senior Xie for your advice" Cheng Mingzhen put away his smile and responded with a positive color.
"It's not a pointer.
Actually, I can't do it myself," Pei Lin smiled and shook his head.
"The old man is about to return to Beijing, but he is very unwilling.
The old man recruited you, Wang Deren and Wang Junkuo, and originally wanted to use the strength of the three of you, plus my original generals in Hedong in the Tang Dynasty, to put a hanging rope around Liu Wuzhou's neck.

But the rope was ready, and before it could be thrown, the old man had to leave."
"Why don't you explain the plan to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Cheng Mingzhen thought about it and advised in a low voice.
"Do you think the prince will follow the old man's arrangement" Pei Lin glanced at him and asked with a smile.
"The younger generation has just arrived" Cheng Mingzhen wiped the back of his head and reminded him curtly.
He found that Pei Lin was actually very easy to get along with.
Since there is no other party's scheming, it is better to open the window directly and say something.
"Yes, you're new here," Pei Lin sighed with a smile. admits that he asked too hastily, "The prince is younger than the old man, so he is naturally not as patient as the old man."
Moreover, there is also His Royal Highness the King of Qin behind the crown prince."
"The predecessors said that the prince would rashly attack the north," Cheng Mingzhen was shocked and stammered to ask.
"Isn't it in vain that all the efforts of the predecessors?"
"Yes, it's in vain," Pei Lin let out a long sigh, unwilling in his heart.
"Seniors, why don't you explain to Your Majesty," a word of advice rushed out of his mouth.
After saying that, Cheng Mingzhen realized that he was a little too reckless today.
With Pei Lian's experience in officialdom, why do you need to remind yourself.
He didn't give Li Yuan a direct advice, he must have realized that what he said was nothing, and he couldn't change Li Yuan's decision at all.
"Got it" Seeing Cheng Mingzhen's sneer, Pei Lin tilted his head and asked.
"Got it.
What can the younger generation do, although the adults tell him, as long as he can, he will never dare to refuse" In an instant, Cheng Mingzhen understood the unwillingness and helplessness in Pei Lian's heart, and took the initiative to promise the other party.
Very satisfied with Cheng Mingzhen's performance, Pei Lin nodded lightly.
"The old man called you here just for this matter."
As he spoke, he squatted down and took out a roll of yellow silk from under the bookcase, and handed it to Cheng Mingzhen with his own hands.
"This is" Cheng Mingzhen looked down and immediately felt the heaviness in his hands.
It is intelligence, the personnel arrangement, power structure, and distribution of troops of Liu Wuzhou's army, as well as the detailed map of Dingxiang and Taiyuan, as well as the detailed information of each family supporting Liu Wuzhou's forces.
Including the temper, temperament, and style of the people involved, all of them are here.
In an instant, Cheng Mingzhen's heart also became heavy.
Pei Lin is equivalent to handing over all his efforts in the past half a year to himself, and with his current ability, how can he afford this entrustment "I don't expect you to dissuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" Pressing Cheng Mingzhen's hand, Pei Lin said with a smile.
"With your current status and fame, even if you are under the crown prince's account, you will not receive much attention.
Persuad, it is equivalent to vain persuasion" "But the old man wants you" The strength in his hand gradually increased, so that Cheng Mingzhen almost bent down, "The old man hopes that when the prince is in trouble, with this scroll in his hand, he will try his best to protect the return of the army as much as possible."
It is not easy for Datang to have today's situation, and it cannot be easily buried.
In addition, you know, I know, there is no need to tell a third person" "The seniors entrusted, Cheng didn't dare not disobey" Cheng Mingzhen hugged Huang Juan and bowed his head deeply.
Why Pei Lin gave him such a heavy responsibility, he didn't know.
But the other party's unreserved trust, he easily did not dare to live up.
"Do you know why the old man handed this thing over to you, and not someone else" As if he could see through Cheng Mingzhen's thoughts, he straightened his shoulders Pei Lin asked with a smile.
"Juniors, juniors don't know" Cheng Mingzhen stabilized the surging tide and admitted calmly.
"Because, their hands are only suitable for holding knives," Pei Lin pointed outside the military tent and explained with a laugh.
"The reason why the old man values you and entrusts this thing to you is not because you Cheng Mingzhen is a famous general, a brave general.
It's that your heart hasn't been cocooned yet.
They can only kill, but you can still live."
Lowering his head, Cheng Mingzhen didn't know what he could say, did he really deserve the other party's comments, he didn't dare to admit it.
Deep in his heart, there were countless bloody knife flashes, forcing him not to dare to look Pei Lian's eyes.
"Okay, young man" saw all the embarrassment and confusion of the other party, Pei Lin smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Remember what I said to you.
In any case, get involved and others will hear you.
Otherwise, no matter how much you think about it and blindly avoid it, the final decision will never satisfy you.
Let's go, put the brothers under your command in order, the prince will be here in a few days":
