It was said that people were in high spirits when they were happy. Today, Li Shiming was in high spirits! Dressed in a crown prince's formal attire, he walked up to the high platform with a smile on his face.
Although he was still the Crown Prince in name, he was already the highest authority in the empire. After all this time, the entire imperial court was now in his hands.
His trusted ministers were also arranged into the court one by one.
For example, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others were only officials of the Heavenly Policy Manor. Compared to the officials of the Imperial Court, they were nothing.
But now, they were separated into three provinces.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Thousands of years, thousands of years!”
The ministers all stood up and shouted when they saw Li Shi Min sitting down.
"Everyone, rise!"
Li Shiming smiled like a little kid who had just stolen a candy.
The officials stood up. Li Yuanba looked down and saw that he was still not there.
"Why is the King of Zhao still here?"
Li Shiming was also somewhat helpless. Today was the day of his celebratory feast, and this was the first major victory since the founding of the Great Tang!
After eating more than 40,000 Tuyuhun Cavalry, Li Yuanba still hadn't arrived.
"Your Highness, the Eastern Palace guard Shuicheng saw Prince Zhao enter the Eastern Palace stables!”
The stables, as the name implied, were the place where the Eastern Palace fed the horses, and the place where they fed the good horses. Ordinary horses were fed in the stable, and only the best horses would be fed in the stable.
"Hurry up and bring King Zhao here!”
Li Shi Min said to the guard with a fierce face, but his heart was bleeding!
Last time, Li Yuanba had helped him steal a few hundred taels of gold. This time, he went to the stables. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to a good horse?
This made Li Shi Min feel a little indignant. The dignified heir of the empire was actually stolen by his own brother.
After a while, Li Yuanba walked over.
Li Shi Min's mouth twitched. How was this like a prince of the Tang Empire? He was comparable to a hedonistic son.
"Third brother, you're here. Quickly sit down!”
However, Li Shiming still looked at Li Yuanba and smiled.
"Thanks!"
Li Yuanba casually bowed as a form of greeting and then sat down with a clear conscience.
Li Shi Min was relieved. He waved his hand to a servant beside him, who immediately took out the imperial edict and began to read it.
As for what was said inside, Li Yuanba couldn't hear it clearly. If you let him read it slowly, Li Yuanba would probably understand.
However, the speed at which this damned eunuch was muttering wasn't slow, so he could only roughly hear it. The general meaning was that the world was not peaceful, and war broke out everywhere.
Some time ago, Tuyuhun had caused trouble, but fortunately, the heavens had opened their eyes and specially sent him, this third brother, back.
As a result, Tuyuhun was unlucky, and the Great Tang obtained its first major victory against the nomads since its founding.
En! That was probably what it meant!
Next was the reward. First, Li Yuanba was given the title of Minister of War. Of course, this didn't mean that Li Yuanba was going to work in the Ministry of War. It was just a title.
It meant that Li Yuanba would have the ability to command and mobilize troops at any time, and he could also interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War.
The second was to reward Li Yuanba with 30 beauties.
Thirdly, Li Yuanba could establish a team of guards. This was not simple, even though the princes who were sent out now all had a certain amount of power.
However, they did not have their own army. Even if the army in their jurisdiction was under their jurisdiction, it did not mean that it belonged to them.
If the Emperor wanted to use it, he would have to cooperate obediently. Moreover, these troops would change from time to time. After all, it was the military system!
Fourth, Li Yuanba officially became the General of the Left Yi Wei.
In any case, Li Yuanba only heard these four important points. As for the rest, they were just nonsense.
However, from the beginning to the end, Li Yuanba realized that other than having 30 more beautiful women and more things to do, there were no other benefits.
For example, money and land, these things had not changed at all.
This time, Li Yuanba looked at Li Shiming with an unfriendly gaze.
Now, he was wondering if he should get some money to spend after beating up that old barbarian, Jie Li Khan. In the end, before he could get money, Li Shiming gave him something to spend money again.
Thirty beautiful women sounded quite satisfying, but didn't they have to pay for their meals? Who would pay for their expenses?
Li Shi Min felt Li Yuan Ba's unfriendly gaze and couldn't help muttering,"Could it be that my second brother gave me too little? It shouldn't be! He had given her so many things. He had power, beauties, and status. Was he still lacking?
After a while, Li Yuanba finished reading the imperial edict. The officials below called out three times and then began to read out the rewards of the others.
For example, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Qin Qiong.
Here, Cheng Yaojin was given the title of Duke of Lu, hereditary governor of Puzhou. At the same time, the original 500 households had increased to 700 households.
It was just that because Qin Qiong was still stationed in Min province, he could only let people lead him from afar.
After a round of rewards, the main banquet began.
A plate of delicacies was served, with Li Shi Min and Li Yuan Ba serving the most.
At the same time, jars of good wine were served.
As a modern person, he was really helpless about the cooking methods of the Tang Dynasty. As for their wine, in Li Yuanba's words," This was f * cking fake ginseng wine!
The alcohol content was low, comparable to the beer of the future.
Li Yuanba stood up with a cup of wine in his hand and looked at the civil and military officials below. He said loudly,"This toast is to the countless soldiers who fought for the Great Tang!”
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. After he finished drinking, he even turned the mouth of the glass down to show that he had finished drinking.
Li Yuanba pursed his lips. If you have the ability, I'll give you the vodka of the future. If you dare to hug the vodka and drink it in one gulp, I'll give in to you!
However, Li Shiming's actions brought the celebration party to a climax.
The ministers below were all giving each other a toast. It was so lively.
Li Shiming also picked up his wine glass and walked to Li Yuanba,"Third brother! I'll toast you!"
Li Yuanba did not cower when others came with wine glasses. He raised his glass and clinked it with Li Shimin's before downing it in one gulp.
"Third brother, tell me honestly, how many horses did you steal from me?”
Li Shi Min whispered into Li Yuanba's ear.
