Chapter 502: Advice and scolding!
The next court meeting will be the performance moment of Li Chengqian, the prince of the country!
Li Chengqian only started supervising the country after he went south. He had never seen him acting like a supervising country in front of him.
Watch him talk eloquently on it. Whenever he encounters a difficult decision, he will ask veterans like Fang Du, but at the same time, he will also give other people a chance to speak, and then he will make a decision after thinking about it!
To be honest, he is not very clever, but he has won the praise of hundreds of officials!
Most courtiers like a humble emperor. Although Li Chengqian is not yet one, basically nothing will happen to him. His position as emperor is certain.
Compared with Li Shimin's efficiency and decisiveness, Li Chengqian seems a bit immature. But there is nothing wrong with it. Compared to Li Shimin, who was one emperor throughout the ages, how many Chinese people with thousands of years of history can compare with him?
What the Tang Dynasty needs now is not a king who develops, but a king who maintains success.
Although Li Shimin was not the founding emperor, he was not far behind.
His whole life was to rise in battles. He fought his way through the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, and before he could stabilize, he encountered powerful enemies like the Turks. Fortunately, God blessed the Tang Dynasty and defeated the Eastern Turks in one battle. Otherwise, it would have been another confrontation between Han and Hungary in the early Han Dynasty. If you want to reach the top, I am afraid it will take several generations of hard work!
After that, there was another mess in the country, including aristocratic families, military aristocratic groups in Longxi, and natural disasters. If you think about it carefully, Datang has never comforted him at all.
After just a few difficult years, there was the eastward expedition to Goguryeo, and then he went south to fight against Dashi. Anyway, there was no temporary stability.
Now that it's all right, are there any strong enemies around Datang?
The big cannibals are gnawing at their wounds and will not start a war rashly for a while. The only disaster now is the westward migration of the Western Turks and the Western Regions, but they are generally under control.
"Dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"
Li Chengqian's words made Ji Song wake up in vain, but he realized that the court meeting was about to end!
"Start your Highness!"
Ji Song was stunned, this voice seemed familiar!
Looking back, I saw, as expected, who else could it be if he wasn't his father-in-law?
I saw Xie Lian bowing and saluting: "The meritorious officials of the navy are now recuperating in the camp. Tomorrow is the reward ceremony. I wonder if your highness has anything to explain?"
At this time, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ji Song. This person is the biggest contributor this time. His Majesty has awarded a reward today, but he just doesn't know what will happen to the rewards of the others?
Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why the Tang Dynasty was invincible in battles and attacks was the result of the dedication of the soldiers and the unity and cooperation of all officials. Failure to reward is not enough to win the trust of the world, and failure to reward is not enough to reassure the army!"
"The Battle of the South China Sea may seem inconsequential, but it freed the Tang Dynasty from any obstacles in its overseas development. Coupled with the destruction of the cannibal's conspiracy to dominate the sea and land trade routes between the East and the West, this is a great achievement that benefits the present and will last forever. It should be emphasized reward!"
"What do you think?"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. Although they had known this for a long time, they still felt that they really wanted to reward the meritorious soldiers.
"Your Highness, I have something to say!"
Just when everyone was silent, a clear voice sounded in the hall.
"oh?"
Li Chengqian looked at Ji Song for a moment, but he still said: "It doesn't matter what Duke Xi said!"
At this time, everyone was also curious about what Ji Song could say. Is it possible to be greedy and want more? If this was the case, they would have to stop him even at the risk of offending Ji Song.
The Tang Dynasty has had its own rules since the founding of the country. How can we make an exception because of someone or something? Then what dignity will the imperial court have in the future?
Ji Song had some free time and said loudly: "As the saying goes, food and grass go before the soldiers and horses are used. War is not only a matter for the soldiers. Coordinating the overall situation, advising military aircraft, strategizing, logistical support, etc. are all crucial to the victory of the war."
"Since we have won the battle, how can we only reward the generals? Where will we leave the other meritorious people? Once or twice is fine, but if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid everyone will lose their morale."
He paused for a moment and said, "Therefore, I suggest that other meritorious people should also be rewarded!"
"Your Highness please give your verdict!"
Quiet, the main hall is too quiet!
Everyone looked at Ji Song with a blank expression. Cheng Yaojin tried to speak out several times but was stopped by Yu Chigong!
"Yuchi, you..."
"Shut up!"
Yuchi Gong looked straight ahead and whispered: "Since we choose to believe in Ziyi, we must support him without hesitation. I believe that Ziyi has his own ideas, and we will just watch."
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, and finally stood back to his original position dejectedly!
At this time, all the ministers in the palace were still in a daze. They didn't expect that Ji Song didn't want the lion to open his mouth, but asked for credit for them?
What is strategizing? What’s the logistics support?
This is what they are talking about!
As a result, everyone stared at Li Chengqian, Lord Dan, eager to agree on his behalf. Although the merits that can be divided up in this way are not much, they are still merits. Who would think that they have less merit?
It would be more honorable for you to say this, wouldn't it? We are also counselors for military aircraft.
Li Chengqian looked at Ji Song in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd?
"This matter... I will report it to my father, and some will obey my father's will!"
Li Chengqian still did not agree. He believed that the matter was important and could only be decided after reporting it to his father!
Ji Song's eyes were slightly disappointed, but he still cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness Shengming!"
No rejection, His Highness did not refuse!
Everyone was overjoyed. Since they didn't refuse immediately, there was a chance. So for the first time, everyone sincerely shouted: "Your Highness the Holy Might..."
.............................
"Oh! You!"
Chongzheng Hall.
The eldest grandson brought two bowls of porridge and handed them to the father and son respectively.
Li Chengqian sat at a loss, but Li Shimin pointed at him and sighed, looking disappointed that iron could not be transformed into steel!
"What are you talking about directly, and why are you playing riddles with your children? Can you talk properly?"
The eldest grandson glared at the emperor angrily.
"Speak clearly? If everything can be explained clearly, then it will be too easy for the emperor!"
He drank the porridge in one go and said with a wry smile: "Your son is so lucky to have met such a friend and courtier who wholeheartedly helped him, but our son failed to live up to expectations and didn't even see the meaning!"
"Father..."
"Shut up!"
He glared at Li Chengqian fiercely and said angrily: "Why did Ziyi say this without informing you? Don't you understand it even now?"
"Why reward those people? Planning strategies? Guaranteeing logistics? Stupid!"
"Don't even think about it. After he went south, did he ask the court for a grain of grain? Besides warships, what else did he want? He also planned strategies and counseled military aircraft? They are not ashamed!"
Li Chengqian suddenly widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Are you saying that Ziyi did it on purpose?"
"Otherwise? Is he full and holding on?"
"He is trying to build momentum for you, silly son!"
