The time has entered the wax moon, approaching the end of the year, and it is also time to conclude the year.
This year has been an eventful one, with great joy and sorrow.
At the beginning of the year, the Goguryeo people attacked, and Li Chao went north to defend against the enemy, annihilating 50,000 Goguryeo troops and recovering Hexi.
Later, he conquered the Turkic Monan and seized the land of Monan in one fell swoop.
With the beginning of good luck, Tong Yehu's backyard caught fire and hurriedly returned to the Western Regions, only to be poisoned by his uncle's assassins.
The Western Regions were in turmoil, Li Shimin took the opportunity to personally conquer, the Gaochang War, and the Western Turks were severely damaged, but it was seen that the victory of sweeping the Western Regions and unifying the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains was imminent, but the Emperor Taishang was in chaos in Hanjing.
In this Hanjing Rebellion, Datang paid a lot, and the losses were also huge, and the originally good Zhenguan situation was also ruined.
From the emperor to the nouveau riche to the emerging industrial and commercial landlord class, they all felt very depressed.
Fortunately, the emperor had a group of loyal courtiers, and King Qin rebelled and quickly put down the rebellion.
The rebellion was quelled, the emperor's purge was very violent, and there was a trial in front of Tianmen, and more than 300 people were executed on the spot.
The Wude Dynasty has completely become a thing of the past, and the old valve of Guanlong and many Dashi clans have also suffered a great loss of vitality this time, and they will no longer have the strength of the past court, and the upstarts who started with military merits have really stood in an important position in the Zhenguan court after this time, and have become the leading force of the imperial court.
The back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves were slapped to death on the beach.
Those who supported the failure of the restoration were marked as chaotic parties, killed, flowed, and held the party for three generations, and were completely purged out of the court of the Tang Dynasty, and even swept out of the power class of the Tang Dynasty.
And those military upstarts who were once regarded as explosive households by the Guanlongmen lord and the Kwantung clan and the Jiangnan clan in the past had the last laugh, and they were knighted, and they all jumped to high positions and controlled the court.
Especially when Li Chao and other eight people were awarded the title of king, it pushed the upstarts to the peak.
The imperial court's rewards for the soldiers of the expedition to the west and the soldiers of King Qin were finally decided, announced to the world, and sent them out before the soldiers returned home.
The purge of the rebellious party is cruel, but the reward for the meritorious soldiers is generous.
What's more, after this rebellion, the army was purged, and Ben also left a large number of vacant positions, just to fill in the meritorious soldiers.
With a rich reward, the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Hanjing finally set foot on the way home satisfied, and in time, they could rush home to reunite with their wives and children and have a rich New Year.
In order to distribute this reward, the treasury of Hankyung was almost empty.
Fortunately, the purge of the indiscriminate rewards allowed the imperial court to make up for it, and even made a lot of money, after all, from the capital to the locality, from the court to the people, there were countless nobles, nobles, bureaucrats and clans involved in the rebellion, and a lot of property was confiscated.
It is precisely because of these harvests that the emperor will be so generous to the soldiers and rewards.
However, for high-level civil and military personnel, the emperor's reward is mainly glory and wealth.
The portraits of the thirty-six heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, as well as the seal of the eight kings, are the pinnacle of this glory.
Although these are mostly fictitious titles and not substantive authority, they are still enough to make people yearn for and envy.
Under the Eight Kings, the emperor also added many titles this time, most of which were real titles, and of course many fictitious titles were also given.
However, the overall number of real feudal nobles in the Tang Dynasty is still more than 300, mainly because a large number of real feudal nobles participated in the restoration rebellion, and now they have been purged and deprived of their title fiefs.
Among these rewards, the most eye-catching ones are the Eight Kings' Seal and the Thirty-six Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
The Eight Kings have all entered the Lingyan Pavilion, so the Eight Kings are the most eye-catching of this reward.
Of course, among these rewards, there are also the six ministers of the Taimiao, Li Shimin decreed, Liu Wenjing, Dou Wei, Pei Ju, Li Gang, Li Shentong, and Li Daozong specially ordered to enjoy the Gaozu Temple after his death.
The emperor just held a grand state funeral for Li Yuan, and the imperial court called Li Yuan Emperor Taiwu, and the temple name was Gaozu, and he was buried in the western suburbs of Hanjing, called Xianling.
Li Shimin also specially honored the emperor as Emperor Shenyao Liu Wenjing and other six ministers are selected to enjoy the temple of Gaozu, Taimiao is the emperor's family temple to pay tribute to the ancestors, there are fifteen halls on both sides of the main hall, the east side hall is dedicated to the meritorious royal family gods of the past dynasties, and the west side hall is dedicated to the gods of the meritorious heroes with different surnames.
Taimiao is the emperor's family temple, and generally only the emperor's ancestors can enjoy this honor.
Even the general royal relatives can't, there must be close relatives and the royal family who has contributed to the Jiangshan Sheji, as well as the courtiers who have made great contributions to the Sheji, after the emperor's permission, can also enter the Taimiao after death and enjoy the treatment of the Taimiao, these courtiers will be buried with the courtesy of the county king after death.
Li Shimin selected six ministers for Li Yuan, who were worthy of the Gaozu temple court.
Liu Wenjing and Dou Wei were both heroes of the Taiyuan army, and the two were also dead among the six ministers.
However, Liu Wenjing was executed by Li Yuan for treason, but now Li Shimin makes Liu Wenjing Li Yuan's minister, which is also more interesting.
Liu Wenjing firmly supported Li Shimin back then, and it can be said that his death was also related to Li Yuan and Pei Lian's desire to suppress Li Shimin.
Dou Wei was the uncle of Empress Li Yuan and the prime minister of the Wude Dynasty.
The Dou family was almost swept away in this cleaning, leaving only a few small seedlings, and Li Shimin deserved Dou Wei to enjoy the Gaozu temple court, which could be regarded as a little comfort to the Dou family.
Pei Ju and Li Gang, both of whom are ministers of the East Palace, from the completed East Palace to the current Chengqian East Palace, they are also seventy or eighty years old, and they did not participate in the restoration.
As for Li Shentong and Li Daozong, the two people who were selected to enjoy the Taimiao and know how the Emperor Taishang died, they felt a little ironic.
If it weren't for this rebellion, perhaps the people who really had the capital to enjoy the Gaozu temple court should be Pei Lian, Li Xiaogong, Liu Zhenghui, and Wu Shiyan.
Li Shimin himself has not yet chosen the minister who will be worthy of the temple court in the future, he is still young, less than thirty, and these things are not in a hurry.
But many people believe that now that the emperor is going to be elected, then Li Chaochang, Sun Wuji, etc., must be on the list.

Three days later, the king of heaven sealed the king ceremony, and once sealed sixteen kings, eight kings with different surnames and eight kings of the clan.
The imperial court has issued an edict to the world, and notices have been posted everywhere in the capital of Han.
"I didn't expect Li Sanlang to become one of the only two kings in the Tang Dynasty."
"It's amazing to be one of only two kings."
"Your Majesty even made his own concubine the prince only the king of the county, but he didn't expect to give Li Sanlang a king."
"Li Sanlang's merits are high."
"But this reward is too high, the king with a different surname, and the king is also crowned."
"What is this, haven't you noticed that among the eight kings with different surnames this time, Qin Shubao, the king of Qijun, is Li Sanlang's father-in-law, Su Dingfang, the king of Jiangjun, and his student.
Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, Wei Chigong, and Guo Xiaoke are also all on good terms with him, Li Ji's younger brother Li Gan, and the eldest son of Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, who are also Li Chao's protégés.
Except for an old prince of Qu Tu, the other six kings all have a very good relationship with Li Sanlang. ” Someone took a long breath, this is too amazing.
"I heard that King Yue has bid farewell to His Majesty again."
"I guess it's to avoid suspicion, after all, it's already in the king, and it's too amazing to pay homage to the prime minister in the center."
"I think it doesn't matter if King Yue is not in the center, whether he is the prime minister or not.
Look at the current court, especially in the center, there are all new parties, of which the Li party accounts for most of them. ” "Don't say it, if you continue to talk like this, I'm worried about King Yue." t1706231537:
