Chapter 131: Leaving Chang'an The chariot is chariote, the horse is Xiaoxiao, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
Outside the long pavilion, on the side of the ancient road, a line of egrets went up to the sky.
Ah......h Wrong, it should be the August autumn high wind roar, rolling up the three layers of heavy thatched on my house......
It's not right, Li Zhen is not so miserable.
The blue clouds, the yellow leaves, the autumn colors are waves, and the waves are cold and smoky.
This sentence can better describe the scene that Li Zhen is facing at this time.
At this time, it was already late autumn in September, Li Zhen was sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the Grand Canal, and the thousands of sails racing in the canal.
That's right, Li Zhen has left Chang'an, and is now at the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Yellow River, preparing to turn back to Lingnan.
After the three ceremonies in August (the ceremony of offering prisoners, the ceremony of sealing the queen, and the ceremony of establishing the prince), Li Zhen is already the legitimate prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future heir to the throne.
Originally, as the prince, Li Zhen could not leave Chang'an, in fact, most of the court and the central government were opposed, and even Li Shimin and Concubine Yan did not want Li Zhen to leave.
After all, the prince has a noble status, and he is the future master of the country, of course, he must be in the most protected place, otherwise if he goes out, if something goes wrong, it will be a national disaster.
In the end, Li Zhen insisted on everything, reasoned with all kinds of facts, and made countless promises that he would never go to dangerous places, which was supported by Li Shimin, so as to get out of the cage of Chang'an.
Fan Xueyi walked out and put a cloak on Li Zhen's body: "Your Highness, it's windy outside, you better go in, don't attract the cold." ” Li Zhen grabbed her little hand, put it to her heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but you are pregnant, so don't come out." ” "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, there is nothing wrong with the concubine, and it is still early before the child is born."
Fan Xueyi happily touched her stomach - although it was still flat, there was no sign of bulging at all.
That's right, after Wu Meiniang, Fan Xueyi was also pregnant - I have to say that Li Zhen is strong, he took Fan Xueyi back after the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice, and now it is only the end of September, but in more than a month, she was found out to be pregnant by the imperial doctor, which is amazing.
"Your Highness, the Marquis of Xiangyin County asks to see you."
Just when the two of them were warm, Xiaofu Ziyu reported.
"Rengui is here?
Let him come over. ” This time he returned to Chang'an, not only Li Zhen benefited, but also those generals who followed Li Zhen were also rewarded, especially Xue Rengui, who was rewarded the highest - General Yunlu (Wu Sanguan), Zuo Hujun (Xun), Marquis (Jue) of Xiangyin County, and General Zuo Xiaowei (real power general).
As soon as this reward came out, it can be said that there was an uproar in the whole dynasty, and no one said anything about the title or the like, the problem was the last general Zuo Xiaowei - this is one of the generals of the Sixteen Guards, in the case that the generals are usually fictitious, the generals are the real power of the Sixteen Guards.
How old is Xue Rengui this year?
He was only twenty-nine years old.
Twenty-nine-year-old general?
There is a Tang Dynasty that really hasn't appeared.
The government and the opposition are boiling, and there is opposition all over the country, not only the government and the opposition, but also the army.
Of course, the opponents in the army mainly appear in the middle and high levels - you are already at the peak of your life at the age of 29, so how can you embarrass us old people who have been in the army for more than ten or twenty years?
Until Li Zhen's sentence appeared-When did I get rewarded for seniority in my Tang Army?
As soon as these words came out, the voice of opposition suddenly became dumb......
Indeed, the truth has always been that the big fist in the army is the truth, and only the losers will be ranked by seniority.
Xue Rengui's performance over the years has been seen by everyone.
From the beginning of his follow-up to Li Zhen on the Turkic battlefield more than ten years ago, the battle to destroy the Turks captured Jieli, the battle of Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui bravely killed the enemy, and then the battle of Tuyuhun charged into battle, the battle of Gaochang captured Ju Wentai, the battle of Tubo with three arrows to set the rivers and mountains, the battle of Linyi raided Fuchun, and accompanied Li Zhen to destroy the 400,000 army of Zhenla......
Until the final battle of Tianzhu, Xue Rengui has participated in all the battles of the Tang Dynasty in the past ten years, and he will win every battle, and there are countless battles to lead the army alone to destroy the country.
Li Shimin only considered that he was Li Zhen's person, and it would be better to wait for Li Zhen to come in person after succeeding to the throne, so he pressed his credit, but he probably felt that it was not too good to suppress it alone, so he gave him a general as compensation.
In fact, not only Xue Rengui, but also the old people who followed Li Zhen, such as Fang Yiai and others, are also treated the same, but the difference is that the military power in their hands has not changed, but the title is very high, the highest Fang Yiai and Du He and Xi Jun buy, they have even been named the founding county prince, a proper second-grade member - although this member has no rights.
However, Fang Yiai is very happy, according to his words, he has been pressed by Xue Rengui for more than ten years, and finally surpassed him once in grade, which is really very happy.
Li Zhen was speechless......
In addition to Li Zhen's henchmen, the rest of the people also had their own rewards, such as Xue Wanche finally took off his hat as the Duke of Wu'an, and further obtained the title of Duke of Tengguo.
And Liu Hongji and Hou Junji are already extremely ministers, but they have not had too many promotions in official positions, and Li Shimin can only reward some silver money and cloth.
Among all the people who accepted the reward, there was one person who soared into the sky, from a small seventh-grade official to a third-grade official.
No need to ask, this person is Wang Xuance.
Today's Wang Xuance's achievements are more brilliant than he in history, in history he only destroyed a small country, but now Wang Xuance is single-handedly causing the huge Ring of the Japanese Empire to fall apart, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's sweeping of Northern Tianzhu.
This kind of great achievement, even those few people in the Lingyan Pavilion have never made it, and through this merit, Wang Xuance also showed his terrifying ability.
To put it bluntly, with Wang Xuance's ability, as long as he doesn't die, within ten years, the position of prime minister will definitely fall to him.
Therefore, Wang Xuance's reward this time is also many, not only the official position has changed from a small seven-grade official of Honglu Temple to a Chinese scholar on the fourth grade, awarded the purple Qingguanglu doctor, and wore a purple gold fish bag exceptionally, and the title is from the founding county prince of the second grade, which can be described as extremely honorable - you must know that even if Xue Rengui has fought so many battles for the Tang Dynasty and made so many contributions, he has only been named a founding marquis, and the grade is two grades lower than Wang Xuance.
However, the main reason why he can have such a high reward is because his achievements are too amazing, if he tends to be ordinary in the future, his title will be like this in this life, at most Li Zhen will succeed to the throne, and he may be promoted by one level, and Xue Rengui No matter what, once Li Zhen succeeds to the throne in the future, he will at least be a prince who can't run.
