When we arrived at the palace, all the officials had arrived at the main hall and were waiting quietly.
As time passed, Li Er walked in slowly, came to the main hall, sat on the dragon chair, and glanced at the ministers.
The crowd shouted again.
See Your Majesty.
"My dear friends, the Tang Dynasty has won the war against the Turks."
As Li Er finished saying this, all the ministers shouted again.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Okay everyone, I have sent off to the Tang Dynasty before, and this time our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty have returned in triumph.
Being able to completely conquer the Turks is inseparable from the fact that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went to war, that the emperor and his ministers were united as one, and that the people of the Tang Dynasty were united as one.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Er waved his hand.
"I have said before that our Tang Dynasty has clear rewards and punishments. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. If you make a mistake, you will definitely be punished.
Now our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty go to war and return in triumph, and all the soldiers will receive rewards.
Come, tell me my will, and give you a reward."
"It's Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the personnel from the Ministry of War stood up and took out the reward documents prepared by His Majesty and others from their clothes.
Long before, the soldiers at the front of the battle line had all arrived at Chang'an City through expedited operations.
So everyone here also understands it very thoroughly.
So much so that when they just came back, the court had already made preparations in advance.
Following the personnel of the Ministry of War, the names of the people were called out one by one.
When he heard his name being called, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone is carrying out the last step step by step. Of course, the rewards this time are only for the generals who went to fight.
The rewards for other people are handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to coordinate and handle them.
After all the names of all the people were read out and the rewards were given, the officials shouted again, "Your Majesty is wise."
Then, began to wait quietly.
"Everyone, I have something to say first: merit will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished.
During this battle, some people did not obey the instructions, and the plan for me, Datang, to go to the battle changed.
So I have to explain this matter carefully."
After hearing what His Majesty said, several of the soldiers below turned ugly.
He sighed helplessly, what must come will come.
His Majesty arranged for them to fight on the front line, and while fighting, they were so excited that some things developed into other things.
In the end, many plans changed.
Li Er waved his hand and glanced at everyone. Then, the Minister of War began to continue talking about the matter.
Which soldier did something wrong, and what consequences resulted from the occurrence of this incident.
The person who was named came forward, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
Originally, all the rewards had been obtained, but in the end, more than half of the rewards were deducted.
There is no way, it is all my own business. Your Majesty has already made a plan. Who told them not to proceed according to the plan?
After all arrangements were made, Li Er continued to issue orders.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War are required to distribute all the rewards from below according to the order.
No one is allowed to covet the rewards of our Tang Dynasty soldiers. In addition, those soldiers who died in battle must also send people to arrange all their rewards, and no mistakes are allowed.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.
Officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs stood up and saluted!
"This is Your Majesty, I will take your orders."
Then he turned his eyes and looked at the other ministers.
"Everyone, I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, have returned triumphantly. At this time, I have good news and convey my will.
I want to grant amnesty to the world, and all prisoners in prison, except those on death row, will be released without charge.
Select 300 people from death row prisoners, allow them to visit their hometowns, and allow them to return on time after two months.
The entire Tang Dynasty will be exempted from taxes by 10% next year."
"Your Majesty is Holy, Your Majesty is Holy, Your Majesty is Holy!"
"Okay everyone, today's palace dinner, I hope you will attend on time.
If nothing happens to you, go back and make preparations first!"
"It's your Majesty!"
Following Li Er's order, the officials left the palace one after another, returned home, changed into their casual clothes, and began to attend the palace dinner tonight.
At the same time, everyone in the palace did not rest. All the maids and eunuchs began to be busy in the palace one after another.
Let's prepare for the dinner party.
"East wind."
"West wind."
“Hahahahaha, what a fool, what a fool.
Come on, come on, come on, give me money, give me money."
Seeing his cards, Li Yuan laughed and asked the others for their money back.
"Your Majesty, fortunately, every time we play cards, we only use copper plates one by one.
If this is done with silver and gold, after playing for so long, our family will probably be ruined, and we will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, no matter what, I won't let you guys drink from the northwest wind. Someone will reward you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After playing a lot of cards, not only did I not lose any money in the end, I also made a lot of money.
As for the reward given by the Supreme Emperor, everyone said that they had to accept it.
Otherwise, this would be a loss of face to the Supreme Emperor.
"Come on, come on, play again, play, shuffle the cards."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here!"
Hearing the words of the internal officer beside them, Li Yuan and others stopped what they were doing and looked up.
"My son has met my father.
Father, I am here today to invite my father to attend tonight’s dinner at the palace.”
"There is a dinner party at the palace tonight. What happy event has happened?"
"Father, today is a great joy. I have completely wiped out the Turks in the north.
The Turkic child was also directly beheaded by his ministers.
Now, I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, have returned triumphantly, and I will hold a banquet in Hanyuan Hall tonight, and I invite you, Father, to attend with us!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay.
My son is still capable and can suppress the Turks directly."
Speaking of Turks, why are they not a thorn in Li Yuan's heart?
He raised troops in Shanxi with the intention of conquering the world, and after occupying Chang'an City, there were many forces surrounding Chang'an City.
Of course, Li Tang can suppress the forces around Chang'an City at will.
However, their plan is good, but the reality is cruel.
The Turks in the north took advantage of the melee in the Central Plains to go south and forced their various forces to sign unequal treaties.
The treaty he signed at that time was to surrender to the Turks.
At that time, the Turks were powerful and the Tang Dynasty was weak. They still struggled to survive and develop in the cracks.
Forced by conditions, he had no choice but to sign a shameful covenant.
After the covenant is signed, money must be donated to the Turks every year.
This made Datang, which was not already wealthy, even worse.
But there was no other way. The conditions at that time were forced. If you disagreed, to put it bluntly, the Turks could have beaten them or even destroyed them.
It was even said that when the Turks wanted to support these forces, no matter which force they were, even a pig, would be able to win the final war in the end.
Fortunately, this group of Turks had no intention of intervening in their battle.
This simply means that big forces like them are constantly fighting each other, and they are reaping the benefits.
Later, the Tang Dynasty wiped out all surrounding enemies and began to conquer the entire world.
Even so, the Tang Dynasty at that time was still subordinate to the Turks and had to pay tribute to the Turks every year.
Just claiming to the outside world that both sides live together as equals, isn't it just a cover-up done by the Chinese people to save face?
Later, when his son ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Turks went south again and signed an alliance with him.
He knew all these things. At that time, he thought that the Tang Dynasty might also be oppressed by the Turks.
Until the spring of this year, when I, the Tang Dynasty, gathered soldiers to go north to fight against the Turks, I was actually full of worries about this matter.
Later, the news came out that the Tang Dynasty had won the war. This news reached Li Yuan's ears, which made him very excited.
Today, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty returned triumphantly. His prince invited him to attend tonight's dinner. Li Yuan nodded.
"Okay, Your Majesty, arrange for someone to come over and tell me when the time comes. I will attend on time."
Then I saw some of their old friends.
"You guys should come with me too!"
"It's the Supreme Emperor!"
Seeing that these old friends of mine don’t even know these things.
They must have been following me here to play cards these past few days, and the affairs in the court were of no importance, so they were completely ignored.
Of course, I also understand the meaning of what my son did.
After all, these people were his confidants, otherwise they wouldn't have held important positions at that time.
In the end, they were all masturbated!
"If my father is fine, I will not disturb my father playing cards with other ministers.
My son, please retire."
As he finished speaking, Li Er stood up and left. The other ministers quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Best farewell to Your Majesty."
I left this place, returned to Tai Chi Hall, and started working hard again.
"Okay, okay, let's play cards, shuffle the cards quickly, prepare all your money, and join me in killing everyone!"
"It's the Supreme Emperor!"
After a while, inside the Daming Palace, the sound of mahjong clattering, clattering came again!
At the same time, the generals who were good friends with Qin Shubao made an appointment and came to his home together.
"Hahahaha, Uncle Bao, how is your health?"
"After we knew what happened to you, we looked for brothers, even though they were far away in Turks.
But everyone is very worried about you."
"Yes, we are very worried, fearing that our old brothers who followed us in the war will be in any danger.
Now that he is well, looking at this old brother’s rosy complexion, he is in better shape than he was back then.”
"Thank you brothers for your concern, my health is now better.
Whatever you do is great, whatever you eat is delicious."
"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good, we must eat well tonight.
Drink more wine to celebrate, hey, why haven’t I seen your son or my wife?”
On the way back, they had already received the news.
Qin Huaiyu and Qin Shubao, father and son, are both safe and sound, but they returned to Chang'an City today and came to the Qin Mansion.
I only saw Qin Shubao, but not his son or his wife.
For a moment, everyone looked puzzled.
"Thank you for your concern. My son is still being treated at the pharmacy.
Although my body is already healed, I was injured before, so I still need some time to recover.
And my wife is also resting quietly in the drug store.
By the way, my wife is already one month pregnant and will give birth to my son in a few months.
I will give you a good banquet then."
When they heard what he said, everyone looked shocked, and then burst into laughter.
"Uncle Bao, congratulations, congratulations."
"Yes, Uncle Bao, congratulations so much!"
Most of the other families had more than two children, but his family only had one son.
Therefore, when he was fighting on the front line, his son was injured, and everyone was very worried.
Now that they heard that his wife was pregnant, everyone congratulated her from the bottom of their hearts!
