The trip between Bingzhou and the grassland, and if the Zhenshui victory is great, the court has begun to reward merits and practices...≦...≦

The British Duke Li Ji was rewarded with no rewards. In addition, he failed to pursue Xueyantuo Khan and was punished slightly, so he naturally would not receive too much reward.

However, Emperor Li Shimin was quite righteous and gave Li Ji's son a lot of rewards. The second boy of the Li family directly became the county duke.

There are not many examples of such things as doing nothing and getting high-ranking officials out of thin air in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Ji's family has already made two times, which to some extent can illustrate some problems.

King Li Zhi of Jin did not have any obvious rewards for official titles, but he had already promised the princess of the Wang family, the daughter of Taiyuan, and had chosen a good date to hold a wedding this year. The princess of Jin's such a noble origin is the first among the princes, which also explains some problems to some extent and is also an alternative reward.

In addition, the emperor also rewarded Furong Garden, which was seventeen miles away from Zhouhui, to King Li Zhi of Jin. It was the largest garden in Chang'an and the best scenery, and it has since become the private property of the King of Jin's Mansion. Such an honor is really enviable!

After Xie Yi learned about this, he felt this was especially true, because in the original history, Furong Garden was rewarded to Li Tai. It seemed that after the compilation of "Guodizhi", Li Shimin felt that his son had made great contributions, so he rewarded him with Rufurong Garden.

But now, he gave Li Zhi in advance, which suddenly surpassed the style of His Highness King Jin. This situation is completely different. He has a shining thing like the Wei King Chi in Luoyang, and now he is embarrassed to tell the public.

As for the Chief Secretary Xie Yi himself, there must be rewards. The position has not changed, but the title has changed to the Marquis of Huaiyang!

The title was promoted from the original earl to the marquis, and in his early twenties he became a marquis, which was unique in the Tang Dynasty. So for a moment, Xie Yi's limelight once again spread to people in Chang'an, becoming the object of struggle and imitation for young people.

Xie Yi’s own feeling is not that big. The Marquis is just a bit awesome in his identity and can bring more troops out and have a higher status.

What can a small marquis do in Chang'an where royal family members and princes are everywhere, and prime ministers and dukes are everywhere? The title is still a bit weak.

However, to others, such a title is already a blessing that is rare in eight lifetimes. Du Xijun said that only when the title is getting higher and higher is worthy of the representative of the Zhongxing family of the Chen County. In the future, both the mansion and the scale of the tomb will be higher.

Xie Yi always smiled and said, "I am finally a little closer to Mrs. Cai. This offense can be less expensive..."

...

No matter how much you joke, the emperor has a reward, and this thank you is indispensable.

So in the first month of the year, Xie Yi took the time to go to the palace, which was to express his gratitude to the emperor's New Year's house.

"See Your Majesty, I wish you good luck in the New Year and good fortune."

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I thought you had forgotten your identity when you stayed in Wangchuan..."

Xie Yi did not see the New Year's Day congratulations, nor did he appear in Chang'an City, so the emperor was inevitably a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty forgive me!" Xie Yi quickly apologized.

"Forget it!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I know that your wife is pregnant and you have been away for a long time. I just returned and it is reasonable for the family to be reunited. I will not blame you."

"Thank you for your understanding!"

"Is your wife okay? When will she give birth?"

"It's OK, the delivery period is about February..."

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "If you want to be a father, you should be more mature and steady. In the future, you should be more cautious and calm in doing things. Don't act rashly anymore. Do you understand?"

Xie Yi hurriedly said, "Thank you for your teachings, I have received the teachings."

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Is there anything else to do except come to congratulate me today? By the way, what will happen to that gunpowder demonstration?"

"How about the Lantern Festival?" Xie Yi asked in a tentative voice.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "No, I will approach the envoys of various countries on the day of the Yuan Dynasty, and I have no time..."

"Your Majesty!" Xie Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty. I think it is on the day of the lunar calendar to demonstrate the effectiveness of the thunder in front of the envoys of various countries. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

"This..." Hearing this proposal, Li Shimin subconsciously stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, what Xiaoyao said makes a lot of sense. Shangyuan I should let them hear a little noise and see the power of my secret weapon of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin certainly understood what Xie Yi meant. He took advantage of the gathering of envoys from various countries on the Shangyuan Festival to promote the power of the Tang Dynasty. Especially the weapon of Zhentian Thunder, it can be said to be the most lethal and the most awesome secret weapon.

This time, the use of Tubo and Xueyantuo has seen some power, but other surrounding countries have obviously not yet appreciated the power of gunpowder.

Only by experimenting once and demonstrating in front of them can the terrible parts of the sky-shaking thunder be truly revealed, causing the surrounding countries to panic, and dare not have any intention of the Tang Dynasty.

Xie Yi whispered: "Your Majesty, I think since it is a demonstration, should there be an imaginary enemy, or use one side as an enemy?"

Li Shimin browed and said, "Oh, then why do you think people are imaginary enemies? I can assign them to work together with you."

Xie Yi whispered: "Your Majesty thinks, what about the Tubo country?"

"Tubo, why do you want to use Tubo as your imaginary enemy?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Xie Yi said leisurely: "Because Tubo is a powerful tribe in the eastern region so far, and it is even strong enough to challenge our Tang Dynasty.

If we don’t take the opportunity to take advantage of our strength, we will not know what will happen in the future. Tubo has replaced the Turks, Xue Yantuo and other small tribes in the Western Regions and become the number one opponent of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, its monarch is strong in heart and seems to be quite ambitious, and it is the first to be hit.

Therefore, only by imaginary enemy can our soldiers see their swordsmanship and do targeted training to train soldiers and reduce mistakes on the battlefield in the future.”

Li Shimin asked leisurely: "So you plan to scare the Tubo people with the thunder of the sky?"

"Yes!" Xie Yi nodded slightly.

Li Shimin whispered: "But I already have plans to marry Princess Wencheng to Tubo. Will your actions hurt the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo?"

When Xie Yi heard Li Shimin say this, he knew that what Li Anning said was indeed true.

"Your Majesty, I think this move is to examine the ability and sincerity of the Tubo people. If they perform poorly, how can they marry my princess from the Tang Dynasty?"

Xie Yi smiled and said, "So, why not take the opportunity to test the abilities and reactions of the Tubo people and see how they are? At least they should also be shocked." (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
