Xiao Han was right. Before Li Yuan died, he never considered giving away something as rare as the throne to let others enjoy it.
Therefore, Li Yuan just thought about it for a moment and rewarded him with some gold and silver.
In addition, he had no official position, no rights, and no fiefdom. Compared with the original Li Shimin, he was extremely shabby.
However, this is also how it should be.
Everyone here, including Li Shimin, knows that for the prince, the emperor's rewards are meaningless. Instead of giving them a lot, it is better to keep everything simple.
After all, the emperor didn't want to give the prince what he wanted.
What was given by the emperor will belong to the prince from now on!
Li Jiancheng made no statement about these rewards, which were of greater symbolic significance than practical significance, but simply accepted them happily.
"My son, thank you, Your Majesty!"
After giving a salute, Li Jiancheng straightened up, but he did not rush back to his original position. Instead, he took out a book from his arms and solemnly handed it to the eunuch in charge of the case.
"Father, this is the record of our army's achievements this time. You asked me to draw up the reward, and I also wrote it on it. Please take a look at it."
Others could not hear clearly what Li Jiancheng said, because at this time, their eyes were attracted by the small booklet!
What a reward! Whether it’s for you or not, it’s always enjoyable to listen to!
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced at the ministers and reached out to take the booklet from the eunuch in charge. He flipped through it casually and then handed it to him again: "Don't bother, just follow the prince's plan! "
"Here!" The eunuch in charge held the book in both hands, bowed respectfully, then took two steps back and stood on the steps in front of Yu'an.
At this moment, everyone, including Xiao Han, cheered up and looked at the eunuch in charge without blinking!
"Wei Zheng, the bounty is a thousand catties, a hundred acres of fertile land, ten pieces of brocade..."
"Xue Wanche, the reward is a thousand catties..."
"Xue Wanren..."
To be fair, the reward this time is not generous, it can only be regarded as average. It seems that the prince is still a little too generous!
I remember when Li Shimin came to Xiao Han to discuss his credit, the credit book was always written in the sky! When I handed it to the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites had to have a toothache for several days...
The long list of rewards was read for as long as a cup of tea, until the eunuch in charge became hoarse when he read it, and then he read Qin Shubao's name.
"Qin Qiong!"
Upon hearing the name, Xiao Han immediately straightened up and listened.
"Bounty, ahem..."
What everyone didn't expect was that the eunuch in charge of the case who had been reading well before got stuck here. This made Cheng Yaojin and others almost vomit blood with their hearts in their throats.
However, the eunuch in charge seemed not to see the eyes of those people who wanted to kill him, and coughed several times in succession. When he finally stopped coughing, he turned his head and glanced at the prince.
It wasn't until he saw that he had no expression that he continued to shout: "Qin Qiong has a bounty of one hundred catties and ten acres of fertile land!"
"uh-huh?"
As soon as the eunuch in charge said this, the entire court, which had been filled with whispers just now, was like a radio that had been unplugged, and the entire court became deathly quiet!
Everyone's eyes changed at this moment. Even Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng with surprise.
"What?"
Xiao Han, who was sitting at the back, thought he hadn't heard clearly. He grabbed a guy next to him who was dressed like a green mantis and asked: "Did I hear wrongly? He's so heavy, how come he turned out to be like this when he came to Lao Qin?" A hundred pounds?"
Being grabbed by his clothes, the green mantis looked at Xiao Han fearfully, and repeatedly raised his hands with a sad face: "Master Hou, you seem to have heard correctly! It is indeed a hundred catties!"
"Is it a hundred catties of gold? Or a hundred catties of jewels?"
Xiao Han picked his ears, but before he could fully react, he heard the eunuch in charge yelling again:
"Reward Liu Hongji with a hundred catties of gold and ten acres of land!"
"Reward Li Junxian with a hundred catties of gold..."
"reward……"
"The reward is gold, twenty kilograms of gold, and three acres of farmland!"
The eunuch in charge of the case almost told all Li Shimin's men who participated in the expedition.
After he finished reading, he immediately placed the fold in his hand on the imperial case in front of Li Yuan, as if the fold was a hot potato.
Now, I believe anyone who is not stupid will understand that this is what Li Jiancheng is targeting those who refuse to attach themselves to him! Those who follow him will have no worries about rewards, and those who don’t follow him will receive 10% of the rewards of those people.
Even in the end, Cheng Yaojin hilariously turned into three acres of land and twenty kilograms of gold, which was not even a fraction of other people's money.
Cheng Yaojin's face was very dark, even darker than Yu Chigong's. His big hands grabbed the futon under him, almost tearing it to pieces! For him, this is no longer a reward, but a naked humiliation!
"What nonsense! Are you sending away beggars?"
I don’t know how long it took, but a roar of hatred suddenly broke the silence of the court!
If we say that Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others are subordinate generals, some of them are somewhat scrupulous.
But Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji are old heroes, how can they swallow this breath? The two of them jumped up from the futon almost at the same time, pointing at Li Jiancheng and yelling!
"Quiet!" Li Jiancheng looked at the angry two men and shouted coldly: "This is a reward calculated according to the merit book. What do you think?"
"Go to hell with your credit record, I'm so dissatisfied!"
Liu Hongji roared angrily upon hearing this, rushed forward in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to grab Li Jiancheng! Thanks to the golden melon warriors in the palace who hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, Li Jiancheng escaped.
Seeing Liu Hongji in front of him like a furious bull, Li Jiancheng sneered in his heart, but with a look of fear on his face, he backed away and said in a panic: "Father, look, this, this is the second brother. The people under my command!”
"How presumptuous! Liu Hongji, why don't you back down!"
Li Yuan, who had been sullen for a while, finally couldn't help but slap the table and roar after hearing Li Jiancheng's words!
Liu Hongji was somewhat sobered by Li Yuan's roar, but he only took a few steps back, his red eyes still staring at Li Jiancheng.
"Okay! Burn the bridge by crossing the river! If it weren't for our brothers on the battlefield, would you still want to defeat Liu Heitai so quickly? It's time for us to charge, but it's time for you to receive the victory?! Oh my!"
(Note: In ancient times, gold was the general term for metals. The so-called bounty of ten thousand taels did not refer to gold, but to copper coins.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty's Guanqian refers to 1,000 copper coins. Each Kaiyuan Tongbao weighs one coin, and every ten coins weighs one tael. Each Guan (i.e., one thousand coins) weighs six catties and four taels, calculated according to the ancient system of one catty and sixteen taels. .
Cheng Yaojin's twenty kilograms of gold, converted into copper coins, was only a little more than three guan. )
