This time Li Zhiyun found a lot of treasures in Luoyang, and his second brother also gave him several boxes. After finishing the meal, Li Zhiyun asked Li Zhen to hand over the gold and silver jewelry to Princess Chu.
Princess Chu gave one or two pieces to Wei Gui, Huaiyang, Yin, and her three children.
On the first night back home, Li Zhiyun naturally rested in Princess Chu's room. This was an established rule and also a necessity.
Even though Wei Gui and Huaiyang are both pregnant now, Li Zhiyun will not favor them particularly because of this.
Princess Chu kept the palace in order, and Li Zhiyun would not be so stupid as to shake Princess Chu's authority.
In the room.
The couple lingered for most of the night, until Princess Chu was exhausted and finally stopped.
The next day, as soon as Li Zhiyun woke up, he saw Princess Chu counting the treasures carefully, looking like a money addict.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun also burst into laughter.
My mother-in-law seems to really like counting money after she takes charge of the household.
Seeing her husband wake up, Princess Chu also temporarily put down the jewelry in her hands, helped Li Zhiyun put on his clothes, wash up, and then went back to count the treasures.
Li Zhiyun sat opposite her, eating rice porridge, and asked: "Why don't you sleep more today?"
"I am an important lady. There are so many people to take care of inside and outside. How can I be lazy?" She continued to count the money without raising her head.
"Aren't you tired last night?" Li Zhiyun smiled evilly.
Hearing this, she immediately gave him a charming look, pouted her lips, and said nothing.
She certainly had the ability and magnanimity of a lady in the Chu Palace, but she still felt a little pity when she saw Wei Gui getting pregnant after entering the palace.
However, Li Zhiyun was very brave last night, and she was extremely satisfied, and all the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.
"Gui Niang is pregnant with the child not long ago. You should spend more time with her and don't let her think wildly. When you didn't come back a few days ago, she always had nightmares and couldn't sleep well. Tonight, you go and stay with her.
"Yang said.
"Listen to my wife." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
Yang glanced at him.
That night, Li Zhiyun accompanied Wei Gui on the bed and talked quietly most of the night. As the two chatted, they brought up the matter of Wei Puti. Wei Gui was very grateful to Li Zhiyun for rescuing him. He was so emotional that he burst into tears.
Pregnant women tend to be emotional easily. Li Zhiyun has become accustomed to it after experiencing the Yin family, Princess Chu, and Huaiyang. Therefore, he has experience in coaxing others, and he soon coaxed Wei Gui to giggle.
In addition to accompanying his wife and concubines in the palace, he also went to the palace to see his wife, Concubine Wan Gui, to report her safety, and also informed Wei Gui of her pregnancy.
Concubine Wan Gui was naturally very happy about this and sent a female official to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to reward her.
After two days of cultivation in the mansion, the royal dynasty begins.
Wude Hall.
Li Zhiyun and the other four brothers deservedly stood at the front. Behind them were the six prime ministers, and behind them were hundreds of officials.
Before Li Yuan entered the palace, Li Zhiyun closed his eyes and cultivated his spirit in his spare time. There was no way, understand, he had just returned home and his goddess was too enthusiastic, and the fire would ignite at the drop of a hat.
Compared with Li Zhiyun's calmness, the other three brothers seemed to have their own thoughts.
Needless to say, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was specially held for the soldiers who returned from the Eastern Expedition. As the world-famous King of Qin, he was naturally the protagonist. And the reward for the King of Qin was a critical blow to him, so Li Jiancheng
I feel really depressed.
It's not that he can't tolerate others, King Qin is his brother. If King Qin didn't have ambitions, he would be very happy now. After all, who wouldn't be happy to have a brother who can fight.
Unfortunately, he was well aware of King Qin's ambitions.
King Qin Li Shimin was not so happy that he got carried away. He had already received news from Chen Shuda and Dou Kang that his father would reward him. This was originally a good thing, but when he thought of what happened to the Dou family not long ago, he became wary again.
If he wanted to stand out, he should personally escort Wang Shichong, Li Zitong, and Du Fuwei to the Ancestral Temple.
But he didn't. He tried his best to restrain himself in order not to make the same mistake again.
As for Qi King Li Yuanji, he was as happy as a fool. This time he defeated Jianghuai, which greatly improved his prestige. His father also admired him quite a lot. With his solid achievements in hand, he is now very much looking forward to this court meeting.
Not long after, the chamberlain shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"
Li Yuan, dressed in a black and gold emperor's robe, walked out from behind the screen. He was full of energy and his steps were steady. One look at him showed that he was in high spirits on a happy occasion.
The Sui Dynasty was a fire virtue, and the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty, so it was "fire turned into earth", so the Tang Dynasty became a earth virtue.
Logically speaking, the color of the emperor's robe should be mainly bright yellow. However, Li Yuan felt that he had destroyed Bao Sui himself, so it should be "water extinguishes fire" and he should uphold the virtue of water.
But the problem is that he accepted Yang You's abdication and inherited the throne.
This is very embarrassing. The external view is inheritance, but the internal view is elimination. In the end, the colors of the emperor's robes were mainly Shuide black and gold, and the Tu Deming yellow was abandoned.
But these are all minor issues, and no one else cares about them except Li Gang.
After Lao Li sat down, the officials paid their respects.
"His Majesty the Emperor will enjoy eternal happiness for eternity, for eternity, eternity, eternity, eternity!"
After three bows, Pei Ju, the eunuch of the palace, walked to the northeast position of the hundred officials, faced west, and said in a loud voice: "After the ceremony, I invite all the ministers to rise."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
All the officials stood up.
Li Yuan said loudly: "The Eastern Campaign has ended. The King of Qin has swept away the three major rebel kings and greatly boosted the prestige and morale of our dynasty. I can't help but rejoice. I can only tell the truth to heaven and sacrifice to the ancestors. I am sincere and fearful. This great victory is all due to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the three armies."
, all the officials are united, and all the ministers have implemented orders, I am very happy to commend you."
"King Qin!"
"My son and I are here." Li Shimin walked out of the row, bowed his head and held his hands.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "You lived up to my expectations and defeated the Jianghuai River in the Central Plains. You are brave and courageous. You are truly the first contributor to this victory."
"My sons and ministers were frightened, but they had no choice but to risk their lives, so they bowed their heads." Li Shimin knelt down and bowed.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Ju said: "With control!"
The ministers who were sitting on their knees paused one after another to listen to the imperial edict.
Pei Ju took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, opened it, and said loudly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decreed that King Qin and his people bravely conquered the three armies, wiped out the rebels, distributed the grassland, and established vassals in the imperial family. Filial piety is achieved by the emperor and the father, and the son's conduct is followed."
No loss... Yuxi! General Tiance, the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, the Shangshu Ling of Yizhou Daoxingtai, the leader of Yongzhou Mu, the title of Taiwei, the general of Wuhou on the left and right, the Shangzhu Kingdom
, King Qin!
His position is above all the princes, and he is allowed to be appointed as an official. Woohoo! King of Qin and the people! There is no one who has made any merits or demerits. Twenty thousand households will be added to the city, a bounty cart, a set of royal robes and crowns, a pair of jade bis, and gold.
Sixty kilograms, three coin furnaces, nine kinds of music, and ceremonial guards, all given according to the regulations.
Woohoo! The sky is bright, the king of Qin and the people, the son of Xingrong!"
After reading several hundred words in one breath, a trickle of sweat appeared on Pei Ju's forehead. He was really tired, but he was also shocked.
The King of Qin conferred the title of General Tiance and allowed him to appoint his own subordinate officials. This was a power that only the East Palace had.
Li Yuan, is he serious?
You must know that although the King of Qi and the King of Chu can also open offices and recruit talents, the problem is that the talents they recruit must be approved by the court when they are given official positions, and the emperor can take back the official position at any time. In other words, the people of the King of Qi and the King of Chu,
First the officials of the imperial court, then the officials of the King of Qi and the King of Chu.
The East Palace is completely different. The East Palace is a small court, and the officials in the East Palace are the prince's people in every sense.
Now, the King of Qin conferred the title of General Tiance and allowed him to appoint his own subordinate officials. This was the power of the vassal king in the early Han Dynasty!
What’s even more frightening is that the vassal king had to leave the capital, but not only did the King of Qin not need to leave the capital, he could continue to control the huge army and participate in government affairs!
In short, the future Tiance Mansion is actually a different kind of East Palace. Li Shimin does not need to inform the court who he wants to appoint as an official.
Taking the court's money and buying people's hearts for one's own use, isn't this a small court?
Li Yuan's reward shocked everyone's eyes. The officials knew that King Qin had done a great job this time and would be rewarded a lot, but they never expected that Li Yuan would create a "Tiance General".
Chen Shuda, Dou Kang, and the officials of the King of Qin all had smiles on their faces. They were not stupid, so they naturally understood what General Tiance meant.
The prince's face turned pale, and he felt that his father was targeting him.
King Li Yuanji of Qi was filled with jealousy.
The King of Chu, Li Zhiyun, had a 'shocked' look on his face. He had the same expression as the other ministers, as if they were shocked.
