Yu Shinan's coffin stayed at home for ten days before being sent to Mingyuan Temple outside Chang'an City. It was planned to stay at Zhaoyuan Temple for 7749 days before being buried in Zhaoling according to the order. (, watch
The latest update of this book)
Before Yu Shinan's coffin was buried, Fang Yiai stayed at Mingyuan Temple for at least three or four days out of ten.
The troops from the Battle of Songzhou also returned to the capital. The victorious soldiers were warmly welcomed by the people of Chang'an City. However, Fang Yiai had not yet experienced the feeling of being lined up to be welcomed.
Everyone's military achievements were reported to the court one by one, and those who deserved commendations and awards were received one after another.
As for Fang Yiai, Li Shimin never thought at the beginning that during the Battle of Songzhou, Fang Yiai would come back with a lot of military exploits. Look, he killed seven Tubo generals one after another.
In addition, one person was captured alive. As for the smaller generals below, the number is no less than double digits!
Li Shimin had a headache. After all, according to the original plan, he planned to suppress Fang Yiai for a few years, temper and suppress him, stabilize his temper, and learn more about the rules of officialdom and the battlefield, so that he could teach Fang Yiai firmly.
After that, he will leave the favor of promoting Fang Yiai to the prince Li Chengqian in the future.
Who would have thought that Hou Junji would turn around and try to use a knife to deal with Fang Yiai, but in the end, Fang Yiai would come back with all his military exploits on his back!
Now, Li Shimin was unwilling to grant a reward to Fang Yiai. Not granting a reward would be criticized, but Fang Yiai had not made any mistakes and had no reason to catch him.
Li Shimin was filled with anger and resentment, but more importantly, he was disappointed with Hou Junji. However, considering their early friendship, he still gave Hou Junji the reward that should be given to him, and he also considerately gave Hou Junji a long vacation.
, let him go home and have a good reunion with his family, and then return to the army after the Spring Festival. The affairs of Youwuwei will be temporarily put under the control of the deputy general.
On the surface, they sympathized with Hou Junji for his hard work in the war. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Hou Junji was not kind this time and angered the emperor. The emperor openly sympathized with him but secretly punished him and asked him to go home and reflect.
Of course, everyone just needs to understand this secret meaning, and no one will say it openly. As for those who can't see the true meaning, they naturally envy Hou Junji's honor and favor, and sigh with emotion at Li Shimin's compassion.
subordinate.
In the end, Fang Yiai's official position was still the junior captain of the sixth rank. Perhaps considering that this official position was not consistent with Fang Yiai's military achievements, Li Shimin was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the generals in the court, so he gave Fang Yiai another title.
If you love someone from Qintai County and hold the title of County Prince, it can be regarded as a way to silence everyone, and the rewards given are quite a lot.\\.com first release\\
He had known for a long time that Li Shimin would suppress him and would not improve his official rank. After all, after reaching the fifth rank, even a general would need to report to the Ministry of War when entering or leaving the military camp. In Chang'an City, every time the 369th National Congress
During the court meeting, they had to stand in the court hall for half a day in disguise.
As long as you participate in the court meeting, it is equivalent to participating in the government affairs. Li Shimin obviously does not want to make achievements prematurely in the court, but just wants to learn from others. Therefore, before he has the opportunity to favor Li Chengqian, Fang Fang
Yiai knew that being a sixth-grade official was his current limit.
I thought that Li Shimin would just give him some rewards and finish the job, but he unexpectedly generously gave himself a title. Although it had no practical value, it was still a title with territory.
Land is expensive these days! Only with land and produce can you earn more money and speak with confidence.
Fang Yiai was happy for a long time. In front of everyone, he was the first person to earn a title. He went to find Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Hualiang, and Du He and the others were beaten for a long time. Of course, those who were killed were also willing to do so.
However, when Fang Yiai found the map of the Tang Dynasty and found the location of Qintai County, the corners of Yaya's mouth began to twitch.
The area of Qintai County is quite large, really, at least one-half larger than Wannian County.
However, Qintai County is located more than 800 miles northwest of Xuzhou, at the junction of the three jurisdictions of the Yanhai Observation Envoy, the Xuanwu Jiedushi and the Wuning Jiedushi. To put it bluntly, it is the kind of three-in-one
area, so the local security can be imagined.
What's even more unbearable is that there is a Yellow River lying next to it. Occasionally, when it floods during heavy rain, the entire Qintai County, which has a relatively flat terrain, will turn into a temporary lake.
Because of the fear of the Yellow River flooding, coupled with the wars in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and many rogue bandits, Qintai County, which had good soil and water, was mostly deserted. The number of people under its jurisdiction was larger than that of all counties in the Tang Dynasty
The average population is one third larger than above ground!
Fang Yiai looked at the map with a headache, thinking about her fiefdom, wondering what Li Shimin meant. She rubbed her head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a reason. She could only take the map to find Fang Xuan after dinner.
age.
Spreading the simple map in his hand in front of Fang Xuanling, pointing to the separately marked Qintai County, Fang Yiai said, "Dad, what is the purpose of the emperor pointing out this place to my child? Forgive me, my child."
I'm stupid, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still haven't figured out the emperor's deep meaning."
Fang Xuanling looked at the location of Qintai County on the map. He did not answer Fang Yiai's words. Instead, he looked at Fang Yiai for a while and slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Did you know that the emperor used your title to compensate for your military merit?
What’s the purpose of promoting you to an official position?”
Fang Yiai glanced at Fang Xuanling in astonishment, feeling that it was impossible that Fang Xuanling didn't know Li Shimin's intentions. Why did she still ask herself such an obvious question?
Still puzzled, Fang Yiai replied seriously, "I know, naturally I am afraid that my child will be young. Although entering the court too early may be a good thing, it may not be a good thing. Therefore, I want to hone my child's mind."
"Ever since the emperor allowed you to enter the East Palace as a student, the emperor has already made plans to leave you to the prince. I think Mr. Yu should have mentioned this to you." Fang Xuanling nodded and said straightforwardly.
"Yes, the day when the prince takes over the power is the time when the child is promoted and receives favor from the king." Seeing Fang Xuanling acting like this, Fang Yiai concealed that she had known about this for a long time and said directly.
"As long as you understand." Fang Xuanling nodded and said.
"As for Hou Junji, if you don't want to stay in Youwuwei, my father can go..." After a pause, Fang Xuanling looked at Fang Yiai with concern and inquiry, and said with some hesitation.
"The child is fine, father, don't worry too much. If a Hou Junji can't handle the child, how will he be stationed in the court in the future?" Fang Yiai cut off Fang Xuanling's words and shook his head.
Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction, looking at Fang Yiai with some appreciation and a little expectation in her eyes.
The eldest son is stable and can maintain the family business, inherit and continue the family business, which is enough.
The second son is lazy and a little careless, but he is self-aware and has won the favor of the emperor and the prince. He will probably be by your side in the future and can earn a merit for himself that is no less than his own.
As for the younger son, he has two elder brothers taking care of him. Even if he does not have a big future, if he wants to live a peaceful and prosperous life in the future, he can do it.
As for the only daughter, with a brother like Fang Yiai who loves her so much, she shouldn’t suffer much grievance in the future. Even if she marries into the royal family, with Fang Yiai’s temperament, she won’t be unable to do anything for her.
Seek justice.
Thinking of the future of her children, as long as they don't make big mistakes, they should be able to live a good life, Fang Xuanling felt relieved, and the lines on her face couldn't help but soften.
"Don't pay too much attention to your fiefdom. The emperor has no intention of asking you to pay attention to the floods in the Yellow River." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
Thank God, I didn't let myself pay attention to the floods in the Yellow River. I really don't know anything about water conservancy construction. At most, I can find someone to plant more trees to reduce the water and soil on the Loess Plateau when there is not much water and soil.
It's just soil erosion.
Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Fang Xuanling's rare relaxed expression, he said jokingly, "Dad, this Qintai County was not chosen by the emperor without thinking, right?"
The smile on Fang Xuanling's face faltered, and the hand stroking his beard paused for a moment. He looked at Fang Yiai without saying anything, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
"You're not really fooling me, are you?" Looking at Fang Xuanling's appearance, Fang Yiai also knew what he was joking about just now, and he was afraid that he missed the point.
Yaya's Li Shimin, if you don't want to give your brother a title, you can exchange it for money and silk! As for it, just throw it to me anywhere and make me waste half of my brain cells just thinking about Yaya's intentions. Isn't this a joke!
It's so, so irresponsible!
"Don't think too much. Your Majesty just didn't think before that Hou Jun would ask you to earn military merit." Fang Xuanling said seriously.
In fact, according to the news Fang Xuanling received from the palace, Li Shimin was indeed worried about the place of Qintai. He inadvertently looked at the map and mentioned the title without even looking at it. He did not ask for everyone's opinions.
It was a notification given directly after the articles of association were drawn up.
"It seems that I won't be able to hold this title for long. I guess by now, the emperor has thought about how to find fault with me and even removed my title." Fang Yiai muttered in a low voice, rolling his eyes inwardly.
.
After all, with Yu Shinan's prestige and achievements, he would only be a founding county magistrate until his death. He was given the title of founding county magistrate at such a young age, which seemed a bit too honorable, although it was only a false title with no real power. Presumably, Li Shimin just wanted to suppress him.
Because of his own official position, he took out this title to stop everyone from talking about Youyou. As long as there is a chance, I am afraid that his title will definitely not be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Fang Yiai suddenly lost her previous excitement, and felt a little unconvinced and helpless. Alas, whoever makes the emperor the emperor has the final say in this world.
"Dad, do you care about the children in Qintai County or not?" Fang Yiai was not depressed at all. She calmed down and asked Fang Xuanling for his opinion. After all, the people in that county are now in their own name.
