Chapter 617 Rewards and Punishments
After Su Wei and Zhou Xu left.
Du Yan, Changsun Anshi, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Xue Deyin, Duan Da and more than a dozen others came together. These people were all Wang Shichong, Yu Wen and the first demoted officials. Some of them were granted positions and some did not. Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan were with them.
Now that Li Chongjiu summoned them in Ganyang Palace, he decided the fate of these dozen people in the future.
"Du Yan, I heard that you are the uncle of Du Ruhui, a counselor of the Qin Prince's Mansion, right?"
Du Yan was shocked when he heard this, "Your Majesty, I am not in harmony with Du Ruhui. Although I am his uncle, the two families have long been in harmony. Otherwise, Du Ruhui's brother Du Chuke would not be remanded in the Ministry of Justice now."
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu turned around and looked at Ji Chuan and asked, "Is this a thing?"
Himekawa said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Chongjiu asked: "What is the relationship between Du Chuke and Du Ruhui's brothers?"
Du Yan said immediately: "It is very harmonious. Du Ruhui studied and grew up with his brother since childhood. The two have a good friendship. Your Majesty wants to use his brother to persuade Du Ruhui to surrender? I can work together."
Li Chongjiu didn't say anything, looked at Xue Deyin on the side and said, "What do you think Xue Deyin?"
Xue Deyin was stunned. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Li Shimin uses people without doubt, and he does not doubt it. He usually takes off his clothes and pushes food to his subordinates. It is not easy for His Majesty to instigate or disagree with him."
Xue Deyin's words were neither soft nor hard, which made Li Chongjiu frown slightly. He said, "I heard that the young and handsome Xue family in Hedong are called Sanfeng. In addition to you, your brother Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing are all under the command of Li Shimin, right?"
Xue Deyin looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "That's true, this is well known."
"What if I want you to persuade them to surrender?"
Xue Deyin said: "I will do my best, but I don't have much hope."
After hearing what Xue Deyin said, everyone was worried about him.
Li Chongjiu was silent for a while and said, "Deyin, you are a honest person. Okay, I heard that you are good at military letters and edicts. I originally intended to keep you by your side as the Secretariat's servant. But your brother, Mr. Xue, has already served in the Secretariat's Provincial Department, so I will entrust you to the Secretariat's Provincial Department as a member of the fifth rank."
Xue Deyin was stunned when she heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I am a criminal minister and have no credit..."
Li Chongjiu said: "Don't doubt my vision of looking at people. Mr. Xue from the Secretariat of the Secretariat recommended you to me many times, so don't let him down his high expectations for you."
Xue Deyin was grateful after hearing this.
Li Chongjiu looked at Du Yan again and said, "Du Yan, you have served Wang Shichong for several years, and it is considered a matter of fact. However, you have served in the State of Zheng several times and are very respectful to me. I will not blame you too harshly. You are the Minister of Personnel at Wang Shichong, and when you come to me, you will be the Minister of Personnel and the fourth rank."
When Du Yan heard that Li Chongjiu was given an official title to him, his expression of joy was even better than Xue Deyin. He immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is kind. If you don't remember the past, you will give me a chance to serve Your Majesty. I will serve you as a dog or a horse."
Li Chongjiu laughed at the ear, stood up from the dragon throne, stepped forward and helped Du Yan up and said, "I can write down what Mr. Du said."
Du Yan is different from Xue Deyin. Xue Deyin comes from the Xue family in Hedong. The Xue Wanshu brothers wrote letters to Li Chongjiu many times, asking him to spare Xue Deyin's life. Therefore, Li Chongjiu wanted to give face to the Xue brothers, so he was graceful to the minister.
As for Du Yan, it comes from the Du family of Jingzhao. The Du family of Jingzhao is the same as the Wei family. It is common to say that in Chang'an, Wei Du in the south of the city, and when he goes to Tianchi Wu, it means that Wei and Du families. In addition to the noble relatives of Daibei who have Xianbei ancestry, the Du families are the most famous among the Han clans. Li Chongjiu pardoned Du Yan in order to win over the Du family of Jingzhao. Even if he could not win over, he would convey a kindness.
Du Yan heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Tell me."
Du Yan said: "Wilian Zi, the concubine of the pseudo-Crown Prince Wang Xuanying, comes from the Wei family in Guanzhong. After Wang Xuanying was executed, this woman was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Wei Nizi also has a cousin Wei Gui, who is the daughter-in-law of Li Zixiong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion. After Li Zixiong and his son were executed, Wei Gui defected to Sister Na, and is now also taken to the prison together. Both women are beautiful, and more importantly, they have very prominent identities and status in the Wei family. If Your Majesty intends to make a good relationship with the Wei family, you can accept it, or use their two daughters to negotiate with the Wei family to reach conditions that are beneficial to our Da Zhao."
When Li Chongjiu heard Du Yan say this, he suddenly remembered that Wei Gui and Wei Nizi and Wei Nizi were both Li Shimin's concubines in another time and space history, especially Wei Gui, who was named the Imperial Concubine, second only to Empress Changsun. Of course, from another perspective, it can be seen that Li Shimin's taste is not only controlled by a wife, but also likes to accept both sisters.
Du Yan advised him to accept Wei Gui and Wei Nizi, but Li Chongjiu had no idea. Yang Ehuang and Li Zhiwan were now in a mountain, so it would be more trouble for a few more people to come. But these two women are of extraordinary value. In history, Li Shimin married the two Wei after conquering Luoyang, with the purpose of winning over the Wei family in Guanzhong.
After Li Chongjiu was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the other party immediately reciprocated and provided such valuable information to himself.
Li Chongjiu patted Du Yan's shoulder and said, "I understand." Seeing this, Du Yan was overjoyed and retreated.
Li Chong was granted nine titles to Du Yan and Xue Deyin as an official, which made everyone around him very envious.
In particular, Changsun Anshi lowered his head. He was granted the title of the Inner Historian of Wang Shichong, and he served as an envoy to Zhao State with Du Yan, and was also the son of Changsun Chi, a famous general who defeated Tuyuhun. Changsun Anshi believed that Changsun was also a noble relative in the Guanlong family and was more valuable to win over.
However, Li Chongjiu looked at Changsun Anshi with a slightly cold expression. Li Chongjiu had no good impression of the Changsun family. He shot Changsun Shunde and had already formed a gangster. As far as he knew, Changsun Wuji regarded him as an enemy. Changsun Wugui was also Li Shimin's official concubine, and he had already offended the Changsun family.
Li Chongjiu said coldly: "Changsun Anshi, you serve Wang Shichong and flatter Wang Xuanying. When you go to our country, you are quite disrespectful to me. I don't want to keep you by my side, so just go to Liaodong."
"Your Majesty!" Changsun Anshi's expression changed, and he did not expect that it would be the result.
But the guards in the hall dragged Changsun Anshi out of the hall without waiting for the other party to say anything.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you can't treat me like this!"
The ministers in the palace couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.
Li Chongjiu looked at everyone and said, "I have clear grudges and grudges. I will reward you if you have merits and punish you if you have mistakes. Where is Duan Da?"
Duan Da stepped forward tremblingly and said, "The criminal is here."
