Chapter 61: The Crown of Civil and Military No Reward

March of this year is destined to be a day that will be recorded in history.

In order to celebrate the quellation of the Anshi Rebellion, to celebrate Wang Zhongsi, Feng Changqing and the three generals Gao Xianzhi drove straight into the Mediterranean Sea, and captured the city of Damascus, the capital of the Western Arab Empire, creating the greatest feat from ancient times to the present. The imperial court changed the year name at the suggestion of Yuan Gan Yao.

The original Pure Treasure was changed to Guangde, and the meaning was "gathering talents and virtues to the world".

This year was officially changed to the first year of Guangde.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty has surpassed the period of Emperor Gaozong in history. The Chinese Dynasty has been founded and has the widest territory since its founding.

The grand ceremony was held on the first day of the first month of Guangde.

All officials of the fifth rank and above in Chang'an and generals who participated in the quelling of the Anshi Rebellion and the Arab Wars one by one, left their homes at dawn.

They passed by the imperial city, worshiped the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, and gathered in the Tai Chi Hall.

Pei looked at the civil and military ministers in the Tai Chi Hall and smiled with satisfaction.

With these people here, the Tang Dynasty will only flourish and will not repeat the same mistakes.

It was naturally Li Yan who presided over this kind of dynasty meeting. Pei did not interfere, but everything was arranged by him.

He has already prepared a form for the achievements of the general, the achievements of the civil servants, how to promote them, and how to promote them all, and he handed them over to Li Yan five days ago.

If Li Yan has any objection, he will make modifications based on the appointment of the form and then pass it to Pei through the Secretariat of the Secretariat.

Of course Pei did not receive the form modified by Li Yan, and obviously agreed with his arrangements completely.

Pei Po was helpless about this. It was not that he had advised Li Yan, but Li Yan was still affected by the great turmoil caused by him. He was still a little independent in small matters, but he did not dare to make any decisions on big matters. Moreover, Li Yan's talent is like this, and many decisions on small matters are not very clever.

This makes Pei very confused many times. It is rare for Li Yan to let himself go. Should he listen or not?

Listen, it is obviously a bad idea. If it is announced, it is not conducive to the adoption of policies and also damages Li Yan's majesty.

If you don’t listen, you will feel that it will dispel Li Yan’s enthusiasm.

This is the most difficult thing to do.

He simply had no hope for Li Yan, anyway, he had enough time to cultivate the next generation of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yan seemed a little unhappy in the position of supreme. The trivial matters in front of him made him feel upset. Thinking of his little brother who was still indifferent, his original disconfidence became a little inferior. Looking at the civil and military generals who were impressed in front of him, he did not feel as if he was dominating the world. He said perfunctorily, "Let's be calm!"

Seeing that the civil and military rituals were completed, Li Yan continued, "This time our dynasty experienced unprecedented hardships. The powerful Arabs invaded the west, and An Lushan invaded the east. It was all up to the dukes and their troops to defeat the Arabs in the west, killing the An thief in the east, creating unprecedented great achievements. Today, I will reward you in this Tai Chi Hall, expressing your loyalty to the country."

The ministers worship again.

Li Yan shut up as he said that.

The eunuch on the side spread his long imperial edict with his hands and said loudly: "The world collapsed, there were bandits inside, and there were strong enemies outside, Shangshu Ling, Longyou, Hexi Jiedu, Censor, General of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Guanglu Dafu, and Prince Pei of Wuwei, traveled thousands of miles east and west, turning the tide, defeating Arabia in the west, and destroying An thieves in the east. Adhering to the posture of civil and military, carrying economic tools, raising the power of the universe, building great achievements, becoming my kingly profession, becoming a hero of the country, and becoming a good assistant to the Taiyou. He was promoted to the Taishi and the Taiwei, and was given the title of the hundred-door."

This reward was not something Pei had a shameless attitude to invite him.

Almost all of his meritorious enrollment tests are included in it, except for himself.

But there is no doubt that as the real commander-in-chief, both Arabs and An Lushan cannot do without his dispatched troops.

Pei was the first hero of Wang Zhongsi in the Western Expedition, and Guo Ziyi was the first hero of suppressing the rebellion. However, everyone knows that these two firsts are the real candidates, Pei himself.

The Taishi plus the Taiwei, one is the highest empty title of civil servant, and the other is the highest empty title of military officials. At this point, he can really count as rewards that are beyond recognition.

Pei also made a decision at the first moment, saying that he had resigned from Longyou, Hexi Jiedushi, and inspectorship, and released the military and political power of Hexi and Longyou, leaving only the position of the Great Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Although all the civil and military officials in the court knew that Pei was in Hexi and Longyou were deeply rooted, and he promoted all the generals and school officials. Even if he handed over the position of Jiedu and Censor, no one could truly replace his position. However, seeing that he handed over military power so happily, he looked at him with respect.

The reward continues next is Wang Zhongsi.

When Wang Zhongsi defeated the Arab Mosremasa, he made great achievements, and then led a large army to march forward, expanding the dynasty for thousands of miles and capturing the city of Damascus. Such contributions are unparalleled.

Wang Zhongsi had outstanding achievements, and with this great contribution, he was directly awarded the title of Prince of Qinghai and was awarded the title of Prince of King of Qinghai.

But others are still on the way, led by his subordinates.

Next was Li Guangbi. He had Pei personally participated in the East-West War, and he made both achievements and ranked ahead of Guo Ziyi.

Then there were a series of achievements of Guo Ziyi, Geshuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Zhang Xun, Li Mi, Yan Zhenqing, Pugu Huaien, Li Siye, Lei Wanchun, An Chongzhang, Nan Jiyun and other series of achievements. Their achievements were calculated clearly without any omissions.

More than a hundred generals were in the school, and the eunuch was able to finish his chanting after he was dry.

Everyone received the reward they deserved, and they were all happy.

Most of the civil and military officials in the court had no objection to the rewards of many generals and officials.

The only two people who are questioned are Li Mi and Yan Zhenqing.

Compared with the real achievements of others, Li Mi and Yan Zhenqing did not have much significant contribution. Of course, the most important thing is that they are not old and have insufficient qualifications.

Especially Li Mi, a young man in his early twenties, was actually a joke.

Of course, most of them are jealous.

Wang Wei told Pei about the objection he heard.

Pei smiled disdainfully, didn't say anything, and didn't care about these things.

Li Mi’s contribution is to make achievements. He has no prestige of his own, but he has done something that only he can do: he connects the cooperation between Li Guangbi, Geshuhan and Guo Ziyi, trapping An Lushan to death. This contribution cannot be ignored.

Li Mi deserves his promotion.

On the contrary, Yan Zhenqing's achievements were a bit far-fetched. Guanzhong lacked food and Yan Zhenqing managed the Qinghai Road, which enabled Guanzhong to receive support from Qinghai Lake, Sichuan and Sichuan grains.

But in fact, Guanzhong lacks food, but it is not as short as imagined and it is quickly solved.

But even if you are promoted in an extraordinary way, so what?

Everything he says is final.

"Don't worry about these things, I don't have to come forward. It won't take long before Li Mi and Yan Zhenqing will make them shut up."
