Chapter 146

"...that's what happened to my father!" Li Chengqian told Li Deju that he had discovered a spy, when he sent troops to arrest him, and the results of the interrogation.

Since Lin Xuan didn't want the credit, he naturally didn't mention Lin Xuan.

After listening, Li Shimin looked at Li De award and said approvingly: "Yes, you are as careful as silk, you are worthy of being the son of a pharmacist, and you did not embarrass your father."

Li Dezheng said excitedly: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

He has a vain position, so he can naturally call himself a minister.

I have to say that Li Shimin's heroes are quite good.

Like the sons of those princes, when they grow up, most of them will be given empty positions.

Although a false position has no rights, it also has a salary, but the salary is only half of that of a normal real position.

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "The decree, the second son of Dai Guogong, is extremely intelligent and has a good character. I am very relieved to find out the meticulous work of the Western Turks in Chang'an. I specially designate him as the county magistrate of the founding of Sanyuan."

Li De was overjoyed, and quickly thanked him: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You deserve it, well, go down first, the prince will stay!" Li Shimin said lightly.

It's just a county magistrate. According to Li Jing's contribution, the Li De Award should have been given long ago.

The second sons of other princes were basically conferred by him, and some of them were not conferred as princesses.

When you marry the princess, you will also be given a title.

The fact that Li De Award has not been awarded the title has a lot to do with Li Jing.

When Li Yuan was preparing to raise troops in Taiyuan, Li Jing was serving under Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's secret recruitment of soldiers and horses was discovered by Li Jing.

Li Jing was aware of his motive, so he disguised himself as a prisoner and went to Jiangdu (Yang Guang was not in Chang'an at the time) to inform Emperor Sui Yang.But when they arrived at Chang'an, the capital city, Guanzhong was already in chaos, and the trip could not be made due to blocked roads.Soon, Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, quickly captured Chang'an, and captured Li Jing.

Li Yuan was very angry at Li Jing's denunciation of him, and ordered Li Jing to be executed.

Li Shimin appreciated his talent, pleaded with Li Yuan, rescued Li Jing, and recruited Li Jing into the mansion as his personal guard.

Li Jing did not fail to live up to Li Shimin's expectations, and quickly stood out, making repeated military exploits.

Before Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, Li Jing held a heavy army.

Li Shimin always regarded Li Jing as his confidant, so he specially sent someone to inform Li Jing, and wanted Li Jing to send troops to help him when he was in action.

However, Li Jing did not respond to this matter, nor did he report him, but chose to be neutral.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others were all made Dukes of the state for their meritorious service.

Li Jing was neither rewarded nor punished.

Later, although Li Jing was granted the title of Duke of Dai by virtue of his achievements in destroying the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin was not as close to him as he was to Cheng Yaojin and others.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin did not award the Li De Award before.

"Yes!" Li Dezhen bowed his hands and withdrew.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "How do you feel about today's matter?"

"What does the emperor mean?"

Li Chengqian felt a little uneasy, not knowing what he did wrong again.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Li Shimin thought about his recent behavior, and said kindly: "I'm talking about you sending troops to arrest people."

"Father, shouldn't those secret works of Western Turks come to my Tang Dynasty to inquire about them?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.

Li Shimin sighed and asked: "After you send people to arrest, won't the Western Turks send spies? They will only be more careful in the future. There are many spies sent by other countries in Chang'an. I just sent people to monitor them." , do you know why?"

"Father is trying to find out who they have colluded with?" Li Chengqian said uncertainly.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The reason why we don't do anything to them is because they are already under my surveillance and won't bring much harm to Datang. Once they are caught, the people sent next time will hide even deeper."

Li Chengqian said thoughtfully, "Father, my son understands, this time it's my son Meng Lang!"

Li Shimin was very pleased to see that Li Chengqian had listened to his words.

Normally when he talked about Li Chengqian, although Li Chengqian had a respectful face, the impatience in his eyes couldn't fool him.

"It's good that you understand, but you are still inexperienced, so I don't blame you for this matter. When encountering things in the future, think carefully before making a decision!" Li Shimin said.

"My son understands, thank you for your instruction!" Li Chengqian said respectfully.

He usually doesn't listen to Li Shimin's words, the main reason is that Li Shimin always reprimands him.

Therefore, whenever Li Shimin said something, he was very disgusted and didn't want to listen at all.

But today is different, Li Shimin not only spoke in a very gentle tone, but also told him the reason.

Instead of berating him directly, as usual.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Did Li Deju really find out about today's incident?"

He also knows one thing about Li Deju. It's not that Li Shimin looks down on Li Deju. Li Deju is not so smart.

"Returning to my father, Lin Xuan discovered it." Li Chengqian dared not hide it.

Li Shimin understood Lin Xuan's thoughts clearly after a little thought, and said, "Lin Xuan is very talented, you should get in touch with him more in the future."

"My son understands!"

Needless to say, Li Shimin would also contact Lin Xuan.

……

"Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, I've been knighted, haha!"

Lin Xuan was writing pinyin in the study, and was startled by Li Deju's voice, his hands trembled, almost ruining the words he just wrote.

Lin Xuan put down his pen, opened the door, and said angrily, "Why don't you just confer a title, and why are you so happy?"

"This is a title, a title that can be passed on to descendants!" Li Dezheng said excitedly.

Lin Xuan said to Chunyue behind Li Deju, "Go and pour some tea!"

After Lin Xuan greeted Li Deju to sit down, he said, "Tell me, what kind of title did His Majesty confer on you?"

"County Boss, His Majesty has named me County Boss!" Li Dezheng said excitedly.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "I thought it was the Duke of the state. It's just a county magistrate. It's gone after two generations. What's there to be happy about?"

There is no hereditary title in the Tang Dynasty. Every time a title is inherited, the title will be lowered by one level.

Even those princes will become county kings when their sons inherit the title.

Of course, the Duke of the State is the highest title that can be conferred by a different surname. When the Duke of the State makes contributions again, they will not have to be demoted for a few generations.

And there is still room for improvement in other titles, so there is no such thing as no resignation.

Li De Award is an earl. When his son inherits it, he will become a county son, and when his grandson inherits it, he will not be able to pass it on.

Of course, if his son or grandson is capable, made great contributions, and was rewarded, that's another matter.

"I'm satisfied with an earl." Li Dezheng said with a smile.

Lin Xuan said angrily: "You are only promising, hurry back and tell your parents the good news!"

He estimated the time, and Li De Award must have been awarded, so he came here.

"That's right, that's right, I have to go home to announce the good news, Lin Xuan, from now on you will be my brother, I will make a note of this!" Li Dezhen said seriously.

"Okay, big man mother-in-law, go back quickly." Lin Xuan said.

He didn't think that Li Shimin would be named Earl of Li De Award by catching a few fine works.

This little credit is barely enough to seal a county, let alone a county uncle.

This is nothing more than Li Shimin's method to appease Li Jing.

After dismissing Li Deju, Lin Xuan continued to write Pinyin.

He also learned how to make people literate in ancient times.

I have to say that the ancients were still very wise.

Know how to use Chinese characters as carriers, and use methods such as Zhiyin and Fanqie to annotate Chinese characters.Straight pronunciation is to use homophones to indicate the pronunciation of Chinese characters. If the homophones are all rare characters, even if the pronunciation is marked, they cannot be pronounced.Fanqie is to use two Chinese characters to phoneticize another Chinese character. The upper character of Fanqie has the same initial consonant as the character to be marked, and the lower character of Fanqie has the same final consonant and tone as the character to be marked.

But these two phonetic notation methods are inconvenient to use.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Western missionaries came to China to preach. In order to learn Chinese characters, they began to use the Latin alphabet to spell Chinese.

Hanyu Pinyin summed up their respective advantages, modified them, and created them.
