Chapter 019: Chai Lingwu's Thirty-six Heavens
"Who are there 36 Tiangang in Lingyan Pavilion?" Chai Lingwu was most concerned about this.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Your father is naturally one of the thirty-six heavenly gangs."
Chai Shao felt a little embarrassed, thinking that Chai Lingwu wanted to fight for him.
But he never dreamed that Lingyan Pavilion, Wuju, and Wuyuan were all written by Chai Lingwu.
He looked at Chai Lingwu with confusion. When did his son, who was not a regular person, become so powerful? Why didn't he know?
It seems that I care too little about my children.
Maybe, he kept hiding his own talents and pretended to be a playboy in order to keep his attention.
This must be the case.
Chai Shao thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was correct.
Because when he was young, in order to attract the attention and praise of his elders, he was innovative. To put it nicely, he was a hero who was righteous and suppressed the strong and helped the weak!
To put it bluntly, it is a playboy.
Chai Lingwu's playboy is exactly the same as himself.
For a moment, Chai Shao was relieved of Chai Lingwu with mixed feelings in his heart.
Because all parents in the world are like Chai Shao.
As parents, people who are naughty of their children are disappointed, but once they occasionally show their well-behaved side, they will be overwhelmed.
If Chai Lingwu knew that Chai Shao thought so, he would definitely sigh and say, "I feel sorry for my parents in the world."
But now he is more concerned about whether Princess Pingyang can enter Lingyan Pavilion: "Uncle, my father is on the list, what about my mother? She has made great contributions."
Li Shimin and Chai Shao were both stunned.
"The third sister has made immortal achievements, but it is not good to climb to Lingyan Pavilion, right?"
"What's wrong with it?" Chai Lingwu rolled his eyes and said, "Did my uncle only consider the old ministers of the Qin Prince's Mansion who conquers the world together?"
"Do you have any objections?" Li Shimin made Chai Lingwu feel a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, and a little angry!
Chai Lingwu certainly has an objection!
The twenty-four ministers in Lingyan Pavilion in history, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, and Yuchi Jingde, all of them came from the Qin Palace.
Li Xiaogong was ranked second because he defeated the entire south. His contribution was comparable to Li Shimin who pacified the north. He captured half of the country for the Tang Dynasty. Why did he surrender to Changsun Wuji?
Nothing else!
Because he was Li Yuan's minister, not someone who followed Li Shimin from beginning to end.
Therefore, he was behind Changsun Wuji.
Li Jing, in the south, had the merits of pacifying Xiao Xian, pacifying Gong'an, and pacifying Lingnan. In the north, he even annihilated the Turks, the number one enemy of the Tang Dynasty. In the west, he also had the heavenly power of expeditioning to Tuyuhun. However, among the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion, he was actually inferior to Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, and Yuchi Jingde.
Fang Xuanling devoted his efforts to the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to the "Zhenguan Governance". He was worthy of that ranking.
But what qualifications do Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian, and Yuchi Jingde have to rank before Li Jing?
Nothing.
Wei Zheng was ranked fourth because Li Shimin made it famous for his good at accepting advice.
Gao Shilian and Yuchi Jingde were old ministers of the Qin Palace and core figures involved in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so they rank before Li Jing.
But judging from the achievements made by the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian and Yuchi Jingde were not qualified to be compared with Li Jing.
And Chai Shao.
He was the core figure in the Jinyang rise, and made great contributions in conquering Chang'an, destroying Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and other important battles.
In addition, in the most difficult first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, he was defeated and forced to surrender to Tuyuhun; he later commanded the three armies to eliminate the last anti-Wang Liang Shidu. In the battle to annihilate the Turks, he was the general manager of the Jinhedao army and fought with Li Jing, which also made great contributions.
However, among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, this heroic son-in-law who has made great contributions and outstanding achievements is actually ranked fourteenth.
Even Qu Tutong, who was repeatedly defeated by Princess Pingyang, died early in Yin Kaishan.
The reason is that Chai Shao chose neutrality during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Princess Pingyang is even more pitiful. This outstanding female hero not only did not enter Lingyan Pavilion, but also had only a few historical books.
Chai Lingwu is now fortunate to participate in the discussion of the founding of Lingyan Pavilion, so of course he must correct Li Shimin's wrong ideas.
He doesn't care about others and doesn't care.
But Princess Pingyang is both a rare heroine and a mother with this body, so he has to fight for it.
"You are the emperor now, not the King of Qin. You should examine the founding heroes from the perspective of the emperor. If my uncle only considers the old ministers of the King of Qin's palace, it will not only damage your far-sightedness, wise, and selfless image as a wise and wise ruler, but will also make future generations think that you are an emperor who is different from closeness and distance."
Li Shimin was a person who cared about his reputation. In history, he not only ordered historians to beautify the "Xuanwu Gate Incident", but also tampered with historical books many times.
When he saw Chai Lingwu say this, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"You tell me, how could future generations say that I am different from closeness and closeness?"
Chai Lingwu said: "Because the thirty-six Tiangang of Lingyan Pavilion are all old ministers of the Qin King's Mansion."
"Except for the old ministers of the Qin King's Mansion, who do you think is qualified to be included in the 36th Tiangang?" Li Shimin's words made a lot of sense. His methods of poaching people are first-class. All capable civil and military ministers have a deep mark on the old ministers of the Qin King.
"Liu Wenjing!" Chai Lingwu thought for a long time and finally thought of someone.
"Liu Wenjing ordered the Tang Dynasty to start. When it comes to making contributions, it should be the first. The Wudelu, edited by him, has made indelible contributions to the peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty. Are such a person qualified to climb to Lingyan Pavilion?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay! He is the only one."
In addition to Chai Lingwu's mention of these, Liu Wenjing's achievements also won the support of the Turks for Li Tang and obtained 500 war horses, which allowed Li Tang to form a small-scale cavalry. This cavalry was also the predecessor of the Xuanjia Army. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, he made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for the 500 war horses that Liu Wenjing wanted, Li Tang would not have been able to form a cavalry at that time!
According to this logic, the result is: if there were no cavalry, there would be no Xuanjia Army. If there were no Xuanjia Army, there would be no Li Shimin's outstanding record of over 3,000 and over 100,000!
After calculations, Liu Wenjing is indeed qualified to enter Lingyan Pavilion.
Liu Wenjing was cut off by Li Yuan a long time ago, so he was indeed neglected by Li Shimin!
Chai Lingwu asked, "I guess Qu Tutong is also one of the 36 Tiangangs in Lingyan Pavilion in my uncle's mind, right?"
"After Qu Tutong surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, he was named Minister of War by his father. Later, he participated in all major military operations in the Tang Dynasty. He was the first in military achievements when he destroyed Wang Shichong and was promoted to the right Pushe. Later, he was appointed to guard Luoyang and died of illness in the first year of Zhenguan. He naturally went to Lingyan Pavilion."
Chai Lingwu said with a digging look: "Qu Tutong is amazing, but he was beaten terrible by my mother. A defeated general has become one of the thirty-six Heavenly Gangs. My mother is so ashamed of a man. Is there any right to climb to Lingyan Pavilion?"
"The third sister gathered more than 70,000 troops and defeated the Sui army in Guanzhong, and was in a row, which shocked Guanzhong. Qu Tutong, a famous general of a generation, did suffer defeats in her hands. She defeated the Sui army in Guanzhong, allowing the Tang Dynasty to obtain a complete Guanzhong, and then took charge of Niangzi Pass, so that the enemy was unable to enter, so that the Tang Dynasty could show its doors behind closed doors."
Li Shimin said with a giggle and laughter: "Okay! I will just include my third sister in the 36th Tiangang in Lingyan Pavilion!"
Chai Lingwu said naturally: "The position cannot be ranked behind Qu Tutong, otherwise, future generations will doubt that Lingyan Pavilion is fair."
Li Shimin, Chai Shao, and the little loli aversion to chills!
"Okay! That's it for you." Li Shimin felt something was reasonable after hearing this, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, who are you thinking of the thirty-six Heavenly Gangs?"
"In addition to my father and mother, the ideal figures in the military general are Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche, Luo Shixin, Cheng Mingzhen, Li Xizhi, Zhang Zhenzhou, Changsun Shunde, Zhang Liang!"
Chai Lingwu thought of it here,
He continued: "There are also Li Daozong and Zhang Shigui are qualified."
It’s a pity that Su Dingfang is not very famous now, otherwise he would have gathered all three famous generals and virtuous generals who were very miserably hacked.
"Where is the civil servant?" Li Shimin asked calmly.
"Liu Wenjing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, Gao Shilian, Wei Zheng, Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Wang Gui, Tang Jian."
After finishing the thirteenth person above, Chai Lingwu said: "The total number of civil and military personnel is thirty-six, not too many, not too many... Of course, this is just my personal idea. As for whether these people are qualified to be selected, my uncle also needs to discuss with the ministers in the court."
Li Shimin and Chai Shao looked at each other, with a puzzled look on their faces, strange and depressed.
The 36 Tiangang and 72 Earth Demons in Lingyan Pavilion were indeed promulgated in the morning court, but because it involves all aspects of civil and military affairs, fairness and justice, the candidates for the 36 Tiangang are not yet announced.
After the scattered dynasty, Li Shimin specially summoned his confidant officials to study it. The king and his ministers fought for a long time before they initially decided on the candidates for the thirty-six Tiangang.
But Chai Lingwu said more than 90% of the people with his own genitals, which is really strange.
What's even more rare is that he also considered the person who had been dead for a long time.
At least, they did not expect that Liu Wenjing, Luo Shixin, and Yin Kaishan who had been dead for a long time.
Princess Pingyang was also ignored because she was a woman!
When Chai Lingwu argued with reason, Li Shimin realized that Princess Pingyang's achievements were enough to make most of the alternative military generals ashamed.
After a while, Li Shimin said seriously: "Well, I will consider the candidate you proposed more by your uncle."
Chai Lingwu emphasized: "It is recommended to rank by merit, and don't leave my parents behind!"
Chai Shao felt very embarrassed and acted like I didn't know him.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "This is certain."
Chai Lingwu was satisfied!
The twenty-four ministers in Lingyan Pavilion in history were Li Shimin who was old and weak and began to miss the past, especially to commemorate his old subordinates.
Now, because of Chai Lingwu's invasion, the famous ministers of the "Lingyan Pavilion" have been elevated from commemorating the old ministers of the Qin King, ministers of Zhenguan to the level of civil and military affairs of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and their significance has also elevated to commemorating the founding heroes.
Since the purpose of Lingyan Pavilion was to encourage young heroes to join the army and serve the country, Changsun Wuji was afraid that he would not be able to be a famous minister. He was likely to be relocated with Li Xiaogong, or even lower, because shortly after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he hurried at home and had not yet demonstrated his political level. If he was put in front, those old stubborns would definitely jump out to oppose it.
