Chapter 625 On rewards for meritorious deeds
Zhenguan four years, early winter.
Chang'an.
The emperor led all the civil and military officials, and led the guards of the northern and southern government guards to return to Chang'an City.
Returning to the Taiji Palace, the emperor couldn't wait to summon the Imperial Academy to wait for the horse to be made of white hemp grass.
According to the plan that had been discussed with the prime minister and his ministers in Luoyang, the emperor ordered Gao Shilian to be the right servant of Shangshu, Xu Guogong, Sikong, and Tejin.
Elder Sun Wuji is good at identifying talents and is familiar with the affairs of the family. He joined Zhongshu's sect and served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Compassionate about Li Jing's old age and leg ailment, he specially resigned from the position of the right servant of Shangshu, and was promoted to the third division of Kaifu Yitong. Well, you can go to Zhongshu and Menxia Pingzhang for political affairs in two or three days.
"Qin Lang, Duke of the State of Wei, although my eldest son-in-law, has made many contributions to the country, and now he has made great contributions again to pacify Tuyuhun. , with the title of Pingzhangshi under the same Zhongshumen, and also the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, responsible for the selection and assessment of military officers, as well as the control of military administration such as military registration and ordnance equipment, Yu Donggong Zhanshi, Prince Zuowei rate, Chongxianguan Bachelor, etc. As before!"
······
Zhao Guogong's eldest son Wuji bestowed the title of governor of Haiyan Prefecture, which was inherited from descendants.
Li Jing, the Duke of the Dai State, bestowed the title of governor of Qilian Prefecture, and Xu's descendants inherited it.
Gao Shilian of Xu Guoguo bestowed the governor of Shuhui Prefecture, Fang Xuanling bestowed the governor of Longyi Prefecture, Duke of E State Wei Chi Gong was the governor of Guide, Hou Junji was the governor of Tongrenzhou, Cheng Yaojin was the governor of Tongdezhou The governor of the world.
Special decree to confer Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, to inherit the title of Duke of Lai, and confer the title of Governor of Guinan Prefecture.
Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Fan State, bestowed the title of Inspector of Xiahe Prefecture, Sun Shunde, Duke of Xue, granted the title of Inspector of Jishi Prefecture, Duke Zhang of Zou Guogong, Duke Jin of Xunhua Prefecture, and Duke Li Ji of Cao Guo, the hereditary governor of Xicangzhou.
The emperor entrusted twelve world governors at one go. Except for the two generals Li Jing and Li Ji, the rest were basically important ministers who made great contributions during the Xuanwu Gate change.
Because Du Ruhui, the counselor at the time, had died of illness, he specially conferred the title of Duke of Xilai on his son, and also conferred the post of governor of the world.
The two generals Li Jing and Li Ji, because Zhenguan has done a lot of meritorious service over the past few years, especially in destroying the Turks, so they were also included in the list this time, and they were awarded world titles.
Cheng Yaojin originally had a lower position in the Xuanwu Gate's time-changing hero list, and the number of confirmed seals was also small, but because he participated in the extermination of the Eastern Turks last time, this time he was involved in the extermination of Tuyuhun.
Including the previous titles of Qin Lang and Qin Qiong, a total of sixteen meritorious officials have received titles.
However, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong, and Li Daozong, the three famous clan kings, have not yet been enshrined in the world, and the emperor's sons have also not been enshrined as governors on the grounds of being young. It can be seen that although the emperor is determined to implement the secular system, he is still relatively cautious. Well, all the conferees are of high meritorious service, and they are all confidantes.
The twelve world governors conferred this time are all in the original land of Tuyuhun. This time, the emperor directly demarcated a large area of the border, more than a thousand miles from north to south, and 300 miles from east to west. , distributed to twelve meritorious ministers as the land of the world, and also became a buffer between the imperial court and Tuyuhun.
"Confer Murong Shun the title of King of Xiping County, and Khan of Lu Wugandou, the old man!"
Starting from Qilian Mountains in the north, reaching Jishi Mountain in the south, and bounded by the Yellow River in the east, the four governors of Xihai, Heyuan, Qiemo, and Shanshan were established in the land of Tuyuhun. At the end, Nuohebo, the son of Murong Shun, was appointed as the king of Shanshan County, and his capital was Shanshan.
Based on Nuo Hebo's young age, his uncle Prestige King Murong should take over Nuo Hebo as the acting governor of Shanshan Mansion, and take Nuo Hebo into Chang'an Palace to raise him with the princes.
The emperor's disposal of Tuyuhun was basically the entire country, but he also took the opportunity to cut off a large piece of adjacent border land, and then bestowed it on his twelve confidant and meritorious ministers as world fiefdoms, which was equivalent to seizing twelve lands. state land.
This aspect is basically in accordance with the original policy of dealing with the Eastern Turks. Through the method of imperial conferment and appointment, it interferes in the state affairs of Tuyuhun and controls them. The four capitals are actually supporting and recognizing the four largest forces in Tuyuhun. Split Tuyuhun.
Nine prefectures were set up under each Dudufu, and it was also from the Tang Dynasty that the nine relatively powerful forces in the Dudufu were awarded official positions such as governors, so that the leaders of these Tuyuhun tribes could also directly contact the Tang court. Further strengthen the grasp of Tuyuhun.
Originally, Qin Lang designated three governor's mansions, but now the court has added a Shanshan, which is basically the division of the four counties in the West Sea established after the Sui Dynasty wiped out Tuyuhun, but this time the Tang Dynasty directly divided the East A large piece of meat at the border was cut off.
The imperial court did not change the fact that Qin Lang had brought back 50,000 young men from Tuyuhun's troops before, and these 50,000 young men were placed in the Longyou lands for reclamation or grazing according to Qin Lang's decision. .
In addition, the imperial court decided to move 10,000 households from Tuyuhun to Chang'an and its vicinity. This is also a copy of the previous treatment of the Eastern Turks. At the beginning, several governors' mansions were set up for the surrendered Eastern Turks, and they were resettled along the Chang'an line. In addition, 10,000 households were drawn Resettlement in the Guanzhong area.
These 10,000 households are basically either the headquarters directly under Jieli, or the families of noble chiefs in various ministries. The families of the chiefs of the various ministries of the imperial court were recruited, and finally 10,000 households were forced to move to Guanzhong and scattered in Chang'an nearby.
This policy has been criticized many times by Qin Lang and Wei Zheng, but it was finally implemented. The emperor, Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo, Yang Shidao, etc. believed that this would have the effect of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, weakening the Turks and strengthening their control , These are basically equivalent to hostages.
Of course, this is also the case for Tuyuhun nowadays. The ten thousand households drawn are basically the families of the nobles and chiefs. , the famous Wuling youths in the Han Dynasty were the children of powerful families who were forcibly relocated to various mausoleums near Chang'an, so these Wuling youths could be so frivolous.
The intentions of the emperor and the prime ministers were obvious. One was to weaken the strength of East Turks and Tuyuhun, and the other was to use them as hostages to strengthen their deterrence and control. Furthermore, after these people moved here, they would not only enrich the population of Guanzhong, but also wealthy place. After all, they are all rich and noble aristocratic leaders outside the Great Wall, which one is not rich. After moving to Guanzhong, they will become Qimin households, which is different from those resettled on the border. They will become citizens of the Tang Dynasty, but To be taxed according to law.
The imperial court is equivalent to raising a group of fat sheep at home. When they want to eat meat, it is also convenient to use the knife.
Now in Chang'an City, there are already many Turkic people. Not to mention the top Turkic aristocrats like Yang Guozhong, there are also many small and medium-sized nobles who have also poured into Chang'an City.
After the demise of the Eastern Turks before, the imperial court granted thousands of official positions to the Eastern Turkic nobles. Many Turkic nobles are now staying in Chang'an with empty titles on their heads. They are enjoying the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an. Anyway, they are also rich. I still like it very much.
Soon, there will be a large number of Tuyuhun nobles coming again, some will be officials, some will come to study, and some will come to be bodyguards, but basically they are either hostages, or they are won over by the court.
The Eastern Turks were destroyed. It is said that 1.2 million people belonged to the Tang Dynasty, tens of thousands of families moved into Guanzhong, and thousands of households directly entered Chang'an. Now Tuyuhun has also been conquered. There are nearly a million people. You must know that there are more than 300,000 people attached to Datang for one party.
Now in the city of Chang'an, there are already many bald and shaved gangsters.
For this, everyone in the court appreciates it, especially Li Shimin, who feels that he is a Khan, and now he deserves his name.
Murong Shun was granted the title of King of Xiping, his son was also given the title of King of Shanshan, brothers Murong Cheng and Yifu Abao were each given the title of Duke of the County, and the following thirty-six governors were also given the title of Marquis. Well, Li Shimin also sealed off hundreds of them in one go as if he didn't want money, anyway, to win people's hearts.
As for General Huaihua, there are countless more. It is said that the people in the Ministry of Officials are very excited recently. A large number of official titles have been conferred, not to mention anything else. , you can collect a lot of money, these things have to be ordered by them, and the difference in the price can make a lot of money.
And the Ministry of Rites is also very happy. According to the usual practice, although the imperial court does not collect taxes from these governors' mansions and state barbarians, local tributes are always indispensable. Not to mention, this official conferring a title is not allowed to express to the emperor and the imperial court? No matter what, I have to pay some tribute, and when the Ministry of Rites goes to announce the decree and confer titles, of course they can also receive some benefits by the way.
"The censor, Xiao Yu, wants to impeach Qin Lang!"
In the harmonious and festive Taiji Palace, Xiao Yu stood up out of time, holding the wat board high, but wanted to impeach Qin Sanlang who had just been conferred the title of Minister of War.
"As the chief officer of Yushitai, I have to say something today."
Xiao Yu, as a veteran of the two dynasties, is now the chief of Yushitai, and also participates in the government affairs. If he wants to personally impeach officials, the emperor has to listen carefully to save face.
"Xiao Qing, please speak."
"I have several major crimes in impeaching the Duke of Wei." After all, Xiao Yu is a veteran of two dynasties, and was a prime minister in both dynasties. He even served as a third prime minister in Zhenguan Dynasty, which is comparable to Qin Lang. But this old man has a stubborn temper and high qualifications and prestige, the emperor sometimes has a headache and can't do anything about him.
"I would like to hear what crime Xiao Qing wants to impeach Qin Lang!"
