This made Queen Changsun on the side feel a little happy.
Changsun Wuji's death does not affect everyone's evaluation of him.
After all, he made great contributions when the country was founded. If he had done a good job and not committed suicide, he might still be alive now, and his descendants would not be like what they are today.
So he is qualified to be the number one position.
He is also the brother of Li Shimin and the brother of Queen Changsun.
He is still dead, so it makes sense for people to choose him.
As for others, they are holding on tight. There is not much difference between the rankings.
Someone is moving forward now, and then he is pulled down again.
The ranking is also constantly changing.
It made everyone nervous.
There are many others on the list!
Everyone feels that their contribution is very great.
But, in everyone's mind, this is not the case.
Finally, the final list came out.
Li Shimin looked at the list.
A smile appeared on his face.
But he still made a slight stroke and switched the positions of the two people.
This action was seen by Dai Zhou.
He was shocked!
How could Li Shimin do this? Since you want to be fair, don't do this! Otherwise, just give a ranking and don't engage in this thing! This kind of behavior is like setting up a memorial arch and then treating it as...
Immediately afterwards, he was even more shocked, that was incredible.
Because he swapped the positions of Liu Zhenghui and Qin Qiong.
So unconventional.
It will definitely cause dissatisfaction.
And the ranking just now was seen by many people.
Qin Qiong also saw it.
This will definitely make Qin Qiong unhappy.
I am clearly ranked 21st, why did I end up in last place? That’s the bottom! Otherwise I don’t want this kind of thing, otherwise I have to get to the bottom of it and ask why!
"Dai Zhou, read!"
Li Shimin gave the list to Dai Zhou!
"yes!"
"Lingyan Pavilion, ranked first: Mr. Zhao's eldest son, Sun Wuji!
Second: Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County
Third: Laigong Du Ruhui
Fourth: Zheng Gong and Wei Zheng
Fifth: Liang Gongfang Xuanling
Sixth: Shen Gong Gao Shilian
…
Twenty-one: Chongqing Duke Liu Zhenghui"
When he read the twenty-first number, Qin Qiong couldn't sit still.
Didn’t you just see that you were number 21?
Why did he become Liu Zhenghui, who was originally ranked behind him?
Could it be said that Li Shimin made a secret move?
But before he said anything, Dai Zhou continued to read:
"Twenty-two: Jugong Tang Jian"
Twenty-three: Yinggong Li Ji
Twenty-four: Yigong Qin Qiong”
"Your Majesty, shouldn't I be in the 21st position? Why do I become the last one?"
Qin Qiong still stood up and asked.
Everyone was shocked. He really dared to come out and question Li Shimin himself. Sometimes this person is too reckless! He didn't give Li Shimin any face!
Sometimes when people are angry, they will do things that they find unbelievable!
"Liu Zhenghui is a deceased person, let him be ranked 21st, he deserves it! Do you have any opinions?"
Li Shimin said.
What he means is, what do you, Qin Qiong, care about with a dead man?
But Qin Qiong thinks that she is worse than a dead person?
In fact, although Qin Qiong was a hero, in Li Shimin's eyes, he was not a very important person.
As for the reason, it is that Qin Qiong is not Li Shimin's "Yuan Cong". The so-called "Yuan Cong" refers to the people who have followed him from beginning to end. Only those who have taken refuge with Li Shimin before and after the Jinyang uprising can be regarded as "Yuan Cong", such as Changsun Wuji
, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Duan Zhixuan, and Liu Hongji. Although some of these generals were not as good as Qin Qiong in military exploits, they took refuge with Li Shimin earlier. Before Qin Qiong surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he served for the Sui Dynasty, Wagang Army, and Wang Shichong.
Effectiveness.
There is also the second point, which is also the most fatal. Qin Qiong has been ill for a long time, has neither meritorious service nor promotion.
At this point, his sense of existence became extremely poor.
It is also because of these reasons that Li Shimin thinks relatively little of him.
This is Li Shimin's decision.
I thought Qin Qiong wouldn't say anything.
But Qin Qiong still stood up.
No face was given to Li Shimin at all.
No wonder Li Shimin was angry.
Sometimes, Li Shimin's temperament is very strange.
But sometimes, you still regret it.
"Your Majesty, this is chosen by the ministers. You..."
"Qin Qiong! Don't be rude!"
Li Shimin was furious.
Are you questioning yourself? He is the emperor! How can you let him question it? He won't allow it!
In fact, Qin Qiong could have said nothing.
If you have this kind of thing, it's good. If you don't have it, forget it.
But Qin Qiong didn't think so.
In his early years, Qin Qiong charged into battle and made many military exploits. In the Battle of Hulao Pass, he led only dozens of cavalry to break through Dou Jiande's army.
"Does Your Majesty think that I am too old to fight for the Tang Dynasty!?"
Qin Qiong said again.
Li Shimin was not happy.
"That's enough, come here, pull Qin Qiong down!"
Li Shimin was furious.
It was originally a good thing, but because of my own temporary good, this good thing turned into a bad thing.
Qin Qiong destroyed the scene, making Li Shimin very angry.
All the officials had no choice but to come forward. Everyone was interceding for him. What was originally a good thing turned out to be like this, which no one expected.
"Your Majesty, calm down, General Qin just can't figure it out."
"Your Majesty, General Qin was reckless for a moment!"
Although everyone advises me so.
But they still think Li Shimin did something wrong.
"This Lingyan Pavilion rewards meritorious ministers. Is ranking really that important?"
Ranking is not important?
So why rank?
Li Shimin's words were somewhat contradictory at this time.
Although he could not convince the public, no one dared to say anything.
What happened today will definitely make people laugh if word spreads about it.
"Okay, that's all for today, please step aside!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
So everyone retreated.
But at this time, Queen Changsun said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not fair to Qin Qiong this time. In fact, you could have kept it from them, but you..."
"Don't I have a definite number on who deserves the greater credit?"
Li Shimin asked back.
It seems that he is still angry.
Empress Changsun still said: "Why don't you let me go and persuade Qin Qiong, but you can't hurt the harmony!"
She also knows the importance of a general.
Qin Qiong is a talent.
Don't neglect him.
"No, if you can't bear this anger, I don't want him either!"
Li Shimin actually said such words.
Queen Changsun knew that she could not persuade Li Shimin.
I can only give up.
"Okay, don't say anything else, I'm tired! I need to rest!"
After that, he got up and left.
Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang and others were left at the scene.
No one expected that what was supposed to be a touching meeting would turn out like this.
