"Give Iron Coupons and Forgive One Death" The emperor's last reward shocked the whole hall.
Iron coupons, also known as death-free coupons.
The iron coupon is shaped like a cylinder tile and is made of iron.
It is the token and certificate that the emperor awarded to the courtiers when he divided the title of meritorious hero, starting from Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, it was the certificate of adding officials to the knighthood and sealing the marquis, and it was engraved with the name of the recipient, the honor, the official title, and the descendants inherited the title.
With iron as the deed, with the Dan book, with the gold as the ku, with the stone as the room, the oath of the emperor and the meritorious heroes is written on the iron coupon with dansha, and the gold is hidden in the temple built of stone to show solemnity.
Because it is written in Danshu and is made of iron deeds, it is called Danshu iron coupons.
During the Liang Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was filled in with silver characters, and in the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to fill in with gold characters, so it is also called the Golden Coupon Golden Book.
At first, the iron coupon was just a certificate of knighthood, but by the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the iron coupon began to have the privilege of avoiding death.
Emperor Wen of Sui once gave Li Mu iron coupons and forgave him ten deaths.
Li Yuan raised troops, and after Chang'an became emperor, he also awarded iron coupons to the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou.
Li Shimin, Pei Lian, and Liu Wenjing each forgave two deaths, and fourteen people, including the eldest grandson Shunde, could be forgiven one death.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a total of seventeen ministers have been granted iron coupons to avoid death.
Today, Zhang Chao is the eighteenth minister to be given an iron ticket to avoid death.
However, if Zhang Chao was present, he would definitely be dismissive of this death-free iron coupon, because the death-free iron coupon has the function of eliminating deaths on the surface, but in fact, if something really happens, this death-free gold medal cannot save lives.
Liu Wenjing is the founding prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the post of the three provinces, and the hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, who is specially given iron coupons and forgives the second death.
But Liu Wenjing Wude just got the death-free iron ticket in the first year of Wude, and Wude was killed in the second year.
Don't say that you will die twice, you can't even pay for the death of a discount.
Therefore, the thing of avoiding death coupons is also a good-looking one, the emperor is enveloping the ministers, and if he really commits a crime, he can't save his life even if he forgives ten deaths.
But after all, he is the eighteenth minister of the Tang Dynasty to have a death-free ticket, in addition to the Taiyuan Yuanmou hero, Zhang Chao is also the first courtier to get the death-free ticket.
Even Pei Lian, who was holding the death coupon in his hand, couldn't help but sigh, this Zhang San is really a demon.
But that's the only thing Li Yuan can do, take these things to Zhang Chao.
Zhang Tiegun was born from Ningmin County, and he was exceptionally crowned as the Uncle of Ningmin County.
Cui's wife, the wife of a third-grade official, should have given the county lady an edict, but Li Yuan also made an exception and granted the edict of the lady of the country that was only granted by the mother and wife of a first- and second-grade official.
Of course, these are actually very false, and the founder of Ningmin County is still a false seal, and there is no real seal of food.
Cui Yingying's Mrs.
Rongguo's edict is just to be able to wear Mrs.
Guo's edict and receive more money.
Zhang Chao's death-free iron coupon, the honor performance of this thing is greater than the actual effect.
But no matter what, this Zhang Wenyuan has now become the most dazzling new star of the Tang Wude Dynasty.
Now the important ministers of the palace all believe that Zhang Chao will definitely be able to enter the court.
However, Zhang Chao offended the prince, even if he had this iron ticket to avoid death, but when the prince ascended the throne, I was afraid that Zhang Chao's life would not be easy.
Perhaps, he will not be able to come back after staying in Longyou for the rest of his life.
Zhang Chaozuo asked for the proposal to add three counties of Weiyuan, Xiayuan, and Qiangyuan in the newly opened 300 miles, and Li Yuan also directly agreed.
The new development of three hundred miles of land, Li Yuan is very happy.
However, what he is looking forward to now is that Zhang Chao can fight one or two more battles in Longyou, and it is best to fight Tuyuhun people crying and calling mother.
Tang Jian was still negotiating peace with Murong Fuyun in Qinghai, and Murong Fuyun was quite arrogant and asked for a lot.
He not only wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but also wants the Tang Dynasty to send more dowries, and even wants the Tang Dynasty to cede some border land to Tuyuhun.
He also wanted the Tang Dynasty to return all the Tuyuhun and Qiang, Di and other tribal populations that had not returned to the Central Plains in the early years.
Of course Li Yuan refused, in these years, population is more important than territory.
The Central Plains has also been fighting for more than ten years, and the population has been greatly reduced.
At the time of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the population had nearly 9 million households and a population of nearly 50 million at its peak.
If you count the hidden monk Guandao and so on at that time, 50 million is only more than less.
However, the population of the Tang Dynasty according to the imperial court last year was just over 2 million, less than a quarter of the Sui Dynasty.
Of course, there are still many hidden households, but the hidden household court cannot collect rent and taxes.
Li Yuan was unwilling to give Murong Fuyun a population, nor was he willing to give land, or even a princess.

But he had to endure it, it was too hard, and he hoped that Zhang Chao would be able to vent his anger for him.
The friction at the border is not the intention of the imperial court.
If Zhang Chao, the governor of the border town, can find a suitable reason and beat Tuguhun a few times, maybe Datang can take more initiative at the negotiation table.
"There is no movement from the Ministry of Metallurgy," Li Yuan asked.
Li Yuan felt that the people in the Ministry of Yeli were too cowardly, Zhang Chao wiped out one of the seven departments, and even opened his mouth to dominate the territory of the Ministry of Yeli.
Yeli Liubu didn't dare to put a fart, not that Yeli Liubu still had a population of more than 100,000 and more than 10,000 riders There are so many people, why are you so cowardly Fighting with Zhang Chao, Li Yuan is in a hurry for these Yeli people.
They refused to fight, no matter how difficult it was for Zhang Chao to fight, there was no reason to attack the Yeli Department.
After all, at present, the two countries are harmonious, and Datang can't be nameless.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Zhang Sanlang plans to wait until mid-September, when the winter wheat is sown and all the preparations for the expedition are completed, so he will take the soldiers to talk to the Yeli people."
"What are you talking about such cowardice" Li Yuan was helpless, everyone was so cowardly, how could they still fight.
Yu Wenshi and he was full of confidence, anyway, after going to Taozhou, Yu Wenshi and his eyes were opened.
"When Zhang Wenyuan arrives, he will lead his troops to find the six departments of Yeli, and ask them to return all the people of Taozhou in the Tang Dynasty who were invaded and plundered before.
If not, Zhang Wenyuan will personally lead his troops to rescue the enslaved people of our Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up, this reason seemed to be very sufficient, and he was very famous.
Moreover, Zhang Chao, as the assassin of Taozhou, went to the Ministry of Yeli to return the people of Taozhou who were taken captive, and there was indeed nothing wrong with it.
However, Li Yuan is also a little worried, friction is no problem, if he can take some advantage, he can also force Murong Fuyun to back down at the negotiation table.
But don't be self-defeating, and then you will suffer a loss, and then it will be troublesome.
"The minister is in Taozhou, the morale of the soldiers in Taozhou is high, and they are eager to fight, if they fight, they will win" "In that case."
Li Yuan muttered, "Then set up the Dingxi Protectorate, with Zhang Chao as the Dingxi Protector." ” Li Yuan asked Pei Lian, Chen Shuda and other prime ministers for their opinions, and although they hesitated, they did not oppose it in the end.
The Metropolitan Protectorate and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are not the same, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is mainly a place of border passes, and the army guards one place.
The Metropolitan Protectorate is completely different.
All are all, the protection is the guardianship of the soldiers, and the protection is the meaning of the superintendent's protection.
During the Han Dynasty, there was a capital protection office, whose duty was to appease the feudal domains, Jining and foreign invaders, and all the comfort, requisition, merit, and punishment of the surrounding tribes.
To put it bluntly, this Metropolitan Protectorate is actually similar to the one Zhang Chao added before.
The difference was that the envoy was only a temporary envoy, but the Metropolitan Protectorate was a permanent institution, and the Metropolitan Protector was in charge of this institution.
The capital protection should be an upgrade of the envoys, with a special yamen, and at the same time, it also clarified the control and control of the Tang Dynasty prefectures and counties in the capital protection mansion, as well as the fan departments attached to the Tang Dynasty.
The main function of this metropolitan protectorate is to be responsible for the affairs of Tuyuhun, Tubo, and the tribes such as Sha, Di, Fang, and Man.
The Dingxi Metropolitan Protectorate is under the supervision and control of the Longyou Provincial Metropolitan Governor's Office.
The Taozhou Governor's Mansion and the Taozhou Yamen were both controlled by the Dingxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but Zhang Chao alone held the three positions of Dingxi Metropolitan Protector, Taozhou Governor, and Taozhou Assassin.
As the first capital protection house established by the Tang Dynasty, the capital protection level is from the second grade.
In fact, the functions of this metropolitan protectorate are somewhat similar to those that have just been abolished, but the power is still smaller than that of the platform.
But it also has the complete right to deal with the southwest, declare war, negotiate peace, and accept surrender.
This capital protection mansion is what Li Yuan did in order to let Zhang Chao completely let go of his hands and feet.
Li Yuan has already set up the stage for Zhang Chao, as for how far Zhang Chao can sing this play, it all depends on Zhang Chao's performance.
Taozhou.
When the envoy of the imperial court came to Taozhou with his will, Zhang Chao was ready to go on the expedition.
The autumn ploughing has been completed, the soldiers have also changed their autumn clothes, and the recruits have undergone intensive training during this time, and they have also polished a little decent.
Everything is ready, and there is only one reason to send troops.
"In the territory of Taoyuan, Qiangyuan, and Liyuan counties, are there still Fengli herdsmen who cross the border to graze?"
Su Dingfang nodded with a smile, during this time, he pulled the cavalry troops to run on the original territory of Heiyeli every day.
Flags were planted everywhere, thatched sheds were built everywhere, and then it was named Taoyuan County or Qiangyuan County, Liyuan County, or a certain military mansion, a certain post station, and a certain Tunzhuang.
Just run a few pieces of land, insert a few wooden signs, that is, the field monument, and the wasteland will become the military tun field of Taozhou in the Tang Dynasty.
Then from time to time he went to chase the herdsmen.
At first, the herdsmen of the Yeli Department who crossed the border were not lightly frightened.
Every time he saw the Taozhou cavalry appear, he hurriedly fled in all directions.

But after a few times, they found a problem.
These Tang cavalry were just putting on a show, shouting a few words, hurrying up, and then leaving.
The next time I encounter it, it's the same, and I won't really come up to catch people and kill them.
Slowly, these people have become accustomed to it, and they don't bother to pay attention to Tang Jun's announcement to drive them away, anyway, they don't pay attention to it, and Tang people are not angry.
In the end, they even regarded these Tang horses as a way to pass the time between their boring grazing.
Look at the Tang people stupidly running around twice a day, shouting a few words, watching them plant flags everywhere, erect signs everywhere, and build sheds everywhere In short, these Tang people are fools.
Before winter, it is an important season for cattle and sheep to grow fat, and they can only survive the winter when they have eaten enough grass and grown fat.
The hundreds of miles of grassland in the Heiyeli Department were already fat, but now they are suddenly vacated, and the grass grows very well.
Seeing this, many surrounding Yeli tribes began to boldly drive cattle and sheep over to eat this last crop of fat grass.
"Now in the three counties to the south of us, how many Yeli herdsmen are there," Zhang Chao asked with a smile.
Yeli people have been paralyzed and careless, which is a good thing.
"Quite a bit, now the south is full of people from the Sixth Department of Yeli, and it is estimated that at least twenty or thirty thousand Yeli people have crossed the boundary we have established."
Zhang Chao slapped his face, and said to the generals who participated in the military conference with a smile, "Oh, these Yeli people, we have applied for orders and warnings countless times, how can they turn a blind eye to it, and dare to despise our Tang Dynasty and our soldiers in Taozhou so much, is it tolerable, which is unbearable?"
So all the generals slapped the table and yelled.
"Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it either, mother's" Niu Jianhu has been Zhang Chao's tooth soldier for a long time, but they are really happy to do it, and they don't want to go back to be their chariot general.
At this time, he was not far behind and slapped the table and shouted.
"Sending troops" "Sending troops" "Sending troops" All the generals and colonels were clamoring to send troops, and at this time, the envoy of Chang'an brought a holy decree.
The imperial court set up the Dingxi Protectorate in Taozhou, and the Governor of Taozhou was promoted to the Protector of the Western Capital, and continued to serve as the Governor of Taozhou and the Assassin History.
Accompanied by the holy decree, there was also a deputy capital protector, the former governor of Suizhou, the secretary of the military department of Yizhou Xingtai, and Wei Yunqi, the prince of Yangcheng County.
When Zhang Chao heard his name, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Wei Yunqi, a very famous general in Chinese history.
He can be called the three great generals along with Chen Qingzhi and Wang Xuance.
Chen Qingzhi led 7,000 troops to escort Yuan Hao back to the north, all the way to the north, 7,000 to 300,000, and finally sent Yuan Hao to Luoyang to ascend the throne as the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Wang Xuance once sent an envoy to the ancient country of Tianzhu, but encountered its civil strife, the Tang mission was attacked and imprisoned, Wang Xuance fled, ran to Nepal, in the name of the Tang Dynasty's in-law Tubo State, borrowed 7,000 Nepalese soldiers, directly destroyed the ancient Indian country, rescued the Tang mission, and restored the rule of the original king.
And Wei Yunqi once did something similar to Chen Qingzhi and Wang Xuance.
During the Sui Dynasty, the Khitans invaded Yingzhou, and Wei Yunqi sent an envoy to the Turks at that time, so he borrowed 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Turks, and then crusaded against the Khitan, broke the Khitan, and captured more than 40,000 people.
Such a record is simply amazing.
Zhang Chao couldn't have imagined that Li Yuan would actually send such a Confucian general to be his deputy protector.
He has Su Dingfang on the left, Wei Yunqi on the right, as well as Ma Zhou, Cen Wenwen, Xu Jingzong, Li Shousu, Pi Lou Wuche, Yisu Gushenqing and other civil and military personnel, and this time he has more and more confidence in the Yeli Department.
After meeting, I found that Wei Yunqi was actually very young, in his early forties, with five locks of long beard, square face and white face, quite a Confucian temperament, quite tall, but thin, but those eyes were very bright.
Wearing a purple robe and a long sword at his waist, he smiled when he saw Zhang Chao, "Du Hu is going to send troops" "Exactly," Zhang Chao also replied with a smile.
"Then I'm just in time, I'm not late."
Wei Yunqi didn't say much nonsense, in fact, he came to Taozhou this time to fight.
The emperor knew that Zhang Chao did not have any generals here, so he sent him here.
Wei Yunqi didn't despise Zhang Chao at a young age, and consciously corrected his position as soon as he came.
Zhang Chao is the main and he is the deputy.
"I didn't expect the Duke of Yangcheng to come to help, it's really good to hear that the Duke of Yangcheng borrowed troops from the Turks to break the Turkic gods bravely in the past, and I admire them infinitely."
Wei Yunqi smiled modestly, "It's all old, and it's just a bit of a lever."
It's not as good as Du Hu Yuan, Du Hu entered the city of Zhaozhou alone, led the newly recruited soldiers to Qinzhou to cleverly annihilate the Qiang cavalry, and the city of Longxi directly scared off the 60,000 troops of Tuyuhun, that is the real thing."
"Moreover, Du Hu is also very generous and fierce in writing, the former army fought in Taohebei at night, and has reported that he has captured Gu Hun, every time he reads it, he can't help but be amazed."
Zhang Chao laughed, this Wei Yunqi, a figure who has been famous for a long time and is a lot old, I can't imagine that he is still so interesting.
If you partner with such a person and your colleagues in the future, you don't have to worry.
The two of them raised their arms and laughed, and the group of civil and military who laughed was a little strange.
The two chief and deputy chiefs only met for the first time, and the age difference was nearly doubled, so how could they be so familiar as soon as they met t1706231537:
