Three days later, the battlefield was cleaned up and the government continued.People gradually began to return to the environment they used to live in.

And those who died were like a cool breeze, which might make people feel cold at the time, but when the sun came out, people forgot the feeling of cold.

Above the imperial court, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a sluggish expression, while the civil and military officials below stood sparsely.

In the past, the entire court hall was packed to the brim, it could be said that there were hundreds of officials, but now...

Lin Yu was hit by a car, at least a dozen were killed, more than a dozen were disabled, and some were not serious, but afterwards they seemed to have seen through life and death, resigned and returned home, or fled to Buddhism.

Li Shimin was in a state of desperation for a while. After the war, he needed to stabilize the hearts of the people and let the people operate agriculture as soon as possible to ensure the continuity of farming.

But now that dozens of officials suddenly left, Li Shimin was really stressed, and the instigator of all this was Lin Yu who was standing at the front, laughing and waiting to receive the reward.

Li Shimin is so distressed, obviously killing court officials is a felony, unforgivable crime, but Lin Yu killed more than a dozen at a time, and he has to give rewards to the other party, his breath is almost suffocating vomiting blood.

And those officials hated Lin Yu even more, but they had to praise Lin Yu against their will. After all, they saved the emperor one after another, saved their lives, and even saved Chang'an City.

Li Shimin began to speak, "This rebellion is all due to Li Chengqian. I have sent people to arrest him and bring him to justice. His accomplices include: Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang, Fang Yiai and others. Between Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang, they are dead. During the war, his family members were punished and sent to the frontier. Fang Yiai

Unforgivable crime, sentenced to death.Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections? "

Everyone said in unison,

"Your majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objection."

"Okay, that's it. As for the rebels, they will all be assigned to guard the frontier."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at the smiling Lin Yu, and sighed helplessly.

"I have clear rewards and punishments. Those who have done wrong will be punished, and those who have made merit will naturally be rewarded. This time, how many people have meritorious escorts..."

The smiles on the faces of Lin Yu and the others who stood at the forefront were even wider, while those ministers gritted their teeth and showed fierce eyes.

"Zhao Yi, Zhou Da, Cheng Yong, Er Leng, Su Lie, come forward to listen."

"As ordered!"

Five people took a step forward, clasped their fists and lowered their heads, waiting for the reward. "The five of you are deeply attached to the Tang Dynasty. In order to protect the city gate, you alone blocked the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In the end, you risked your life to go deep into the enemy and capture the main general. I now designate the five of you as the five generals of the Tang Dynasty, Xiaoqi Tiger General, Xiaoqi General Leopard, Riding Eagle

General, General Xiaoqishi, General Xiaoqijiao. "

"The minister (grassman) kowtows to the emperor for the reward."

Li Shimin stroked his beard in satisfaction. He had seen the bravery of these five people with his own eyes. Even in the imperial court, there were very few who could compare with them.

When he thought that apart from Zhao Yi, the rest of these people were only Lin Yu's subordinates, he felt heartbroken.

This is a waste of resources at all. Such an excellent general should gallop on the battlefield instead of shrinking under the hands of a businessman.

But when he heard him drop his eyes, Er Leng raised his head and said,

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do as a general?"

Li Shimin replied,

"Of course it is for the Tang Dynasty to conquer the four directions and protect the land and borders. However, your descendants can also be ennobled and serve as court officials, and they will be under your protection from generation to generation."

"Then I can't stay in Chang'an City anymore? I can't sweep the floor in Wanbao Building either?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and a minister said with a sarcasm,

"You are a general now, and you are at the fifth rank. How can you be a sweeper in a commoner's shop?"

"That's right, your official position can control [-] elite soldiers, but you are also more than [-]. If you are doing floor sweeping for others, wouldn't you be ridiculed by others?"

Standing by the side, Lin Yu's face turned cold when he heard this. It was unclear if he was mocking him, but he didn't burst out immediately.

Xin Dao looked like he didn't kill all the damned people, so he had to spend some time with these people again, to frighten and frighten them.

Of course Li Shimin understood the connotation in the words of the ministers, he just smiled slightly,

"Haha, General Lion is joking, you are a general of a country, how can you do that kind of rough work?"

Hearing this, he said with displeasure,

"Then I won't be a general anymore. I can't even work for the young master if I become a general. What's the point of being a general?"

After the ministers heard this, they looked at each other as if they were fools, thinking that there are such heartless people in the world?

How many people dream of being a general, and some people never reach this height in their entire lives, and they just go straight to the sky in one step, but still think this or that, they are really slaves all their lives.

Li Shimin also felt strange, he asked,

"Why do you have to sweep the floor for Lin Yu? Now you have a higher official position than him, isn't it good?"

Er Leng replied without thinking, "My life was saved by the young master. If it weren't for the young master, I might have starved to death by now. Since I was a child, my father told me that I must repay my kindness. The young master saved my life." , my life belongs to the young master, I will do whatever the young master asks me to do.

what.Now that I am a general but cannot serve the young master, then I am an ungrateful person. "

After everyone heard this, they finally stopped belittling Er Leng. Such a loyal person is really rare in the world, and at the same time, it is very admirable.

"So, instead of being a general, I want to be the young master's underling and work in Wanbao Building."

Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He turned his eyes to Lin Yu, but the latter turned his head away and whistled briskly, as if he didn't care.

At this time, Su Lie also knelt down and said,

"The emperor forgives the crime, but the grassroots cannot receive the title."

"Why are you me again?"

Li Shimin was even more puzzled. If Er Leng was originally a subordinate, his status would be raised so much in a short while, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, and it was normal to refuse.

But Su Lie was originally a general, this time he not only did not punish him for offending, but also gave him a promotion. This is considered a great grace of the emperor, why is he not satisfied?

After Su Lie explained the reason, everyone was relieved.

It turned out that after hearing Lin Yu's promise to him, Su Lie made up his mind to follow Lin Yu. As long as the other party can really appease the families of those dead soldiers, then he will never have another heart.

Therefore, even if it was Li Shimin's award, he didn't care.

After two people took the lead, the remaining three people begged Li Shimin to take back their orders, which made Li Shiming very angry.

He wondered if his official title was so worthless?Everyone desperately wants to follow Lin Yu, is Lin Yu really that good?

He absolutely couldn't figure out these doubts, and only Zhao Yi and others could understand them.

If you become a general, you have to go to court every day without saying anything, and you have to be ready to fight everywhere at any time, that would be fatal. Who can say that he will not die on the battlefield?

Even if you don't die, if you lose a battle or make a small mistake, you still can't escape the death penalty.

Besides, being with you is like being with a tiger, what good is it to be worried all day long?

As a fifth-rank official, the road closure for a month is only 40 taels of silver. The poor are dying, and there is no money to earn.

If you follow Lin Yu, you will have all kinds of delicious food and drink every day, and sometimes you can have a few sips of Penglai Immortal Brew.

Now Penglai Xianniang has been sold at a sky-high price of 1 taels of silver a bottle, and a mouthful of it costs 800 taels.

If you just save your salary to buy it, you can only save a mouthful after the Year of the Monkey?

Following Lin Yu not only eats and drinks, but also goes to Happy Forest to play. If your hands are itchy, you can gamble two times without taking money. How comfortable.

The most important thing is that following Lin Yu, there is no need to intrigue and think about it. Although they all call Lin Yu the young master, in fact Lin Yu and the others are called brothers and brothers, and they have never looked down upon anyone.

If you follow Li Shimin, can you get this kind of treatment?If you say a word that doesn't sound good, it becomes a crime of deceiving the emperor, and if you don't make it right, you have to move your head.

So those three people said that they didn't want to be some kind of Po Xiao cavalry generals.

Li Shimin was helpless. This official position could not be given away even in his hands, which was also the first time in history.

In the end, he promised a few people that they could still work under Lin Yu's command. General was just a title, and each of them could dispatch a thousand elite soldiers at any time.That's it, how many people can be considered stable.

Chapter 4 and one, crying poor

"Cheng Chumo stepped forward to listen!"

Although Li Shimin was helpless, he could only continue to offer rewards.

Cheng Chumo smiled with his big belly, just like Maitreya Buddha, he took a step forward and clapped his hands,

"My minister obeys orders."

"You assisted Lin Yu in defeating the enemy army. You made great contributions in escorting and guarding the peace of Chang'an. I officially conferred you as General Yunhui, an official and third-rank official, and rewarded you with ten thousand taels of gold."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he did not forget to add another sentence,

"You won't and don't want to?"

The flesh on Cheng Chumo's happy face was shaking,

"Haha, how can I not, thank you, the emperor, for the reward."

This time Li Shimin had a pleasant expression on his face, finally there was someone who was willing to receive a reward, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, as if he was not looking for a reward, but rather something he was begging for.

Cheng Chumo took a step back and stood in a row with Su Lie and the others.

Then his eyes turned to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde,

"Cheng Aiqing, Yuchi Aiqing, the two of you are already officials of the first rank, and I have nothing to reward you. What reward do you two want? Tell me."

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other, cupped their hands and said,

"Your Majesty, I don't need any rewards after working hard for most of my life. I just hope that the Emperor will allow us to retire and return to our hometowns, so that we can enjoy a few years of happiness."

"This……"

When Li Shimin heard this, he was reluctant, and of course he was more reluctant. After all, these two people have fought with him for most of their lives. The old friends from the past have left for more than half, and now there is really nothing left. several.

If two people left together, he would be even more lonely.

Seeing that Li Shimin hesitated, Cheng Yaojin continued, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Although we have followed the Emperor to guard the land and borders, we are old after all. Now that there are capable people coming out in large numbers, we will not occupy The position is useless. It is better to give the younger generation some opportunities, let us let go

Let go of the burden on your body and enjoy the family happiness. "

Li Shimin sighed and said reluctantly,

"Forget it, what Cheng Aiqing said is right, the country does not change, but the courtiers are like flowing water. We, the previous generation, always have to give way to the younger generation, so that the world can prosper."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The ministers have speculated that Li Shimin is planning to re-establish the reserve position?

But it's no wonder that the former prince Li Chengqian forced the palace to rebel is already a capital crime.

You must know that the position of crown prince cannot be vacant. To put it bluntly, no one knows for sure in the future. Who knows when Li Shimin will suddenly disappear. If the position of crown prince remains vacant, who will inherit the throne?

At that time, I am afraid that there will be another strife.

Li Shimin didn't expect that his casual sigh would cause huge waves in the hearts of the ministers.

"That's it!"

Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands and bowed,

"The minister waits to thank the emperor."

"I haven't finished talking yet, please don't rush to thank me."

Li Shimin's words touched the hearts of everyone.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other, and they both saw a lot of doubts in each other's eyes. Of course, they were more afraid of Li Shimin crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

Regardless of the two of them retiring from their positions, their prestige and status are still there, which will make Li Shimin feel uneasy.

"What other instructions does the emperor have?"

Li Shimin looked at the two of them softly, sighed secretly, and said,

"Bite gold, respect virtue, remember to come back to drink with me often, don't just enjoy yourself and forget the brotherhood back then."

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde both had smiles on their faces, and they cupped their hands unanimously,

"The minister waits for orders."

Li Shimin waved his hands, and the two returned to their seats. Then, their eyes fell on Lin Yu.

At this time, the atmosphere of the audience suddenly changed, and it became very depressing. Lin Yu didn't know that the sharp eyes were focused on Lin Yu, but the latter didn't know it, and looked at Li Shimin with a smile on his own.

"Lin Yu has made meritorious deeds in escorting you three times this time. He also killed the general of the rebel army, captured Li Chengqian, and protected Chang'an. The merits are immeasurable, and I named you..."

"and many more!"

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Lin Yu raised his hand to stop him and said,
