The reasons are as follows:

First of all, Lingyan Pavilion heroes refer to people who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, so civil servants occupy more than half;

Secondly, Shu Bao Since the unification of the Tang Dynasty, he has been plagued by injuries and has no other records of meritorious service in battles. It is not like Yin Kaishan, Hou Junji and others who have always been generals in the Tang Dynasty;

Third, the portrait of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty building Lingyan Pavilion At that time, Qin Qiong had been dead for five years. It can also be seen from another aspect that his contribution to the Tang Dynasty was not long.

Finally, when Qin Qiong returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was not an officer like Qu Tutong.

Qin Qiong (? - 638), courtesy name Shubao, was born in Licheng, Qizhou (now Jinan City, Shandong Province). A famous general in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, he was a general in the Sui Dynasty at the beginning. He served under Lai Hu'er, Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji successively. He was famous far and wide for his bravery. Later, Pei Renji defected to Wagang Li Mi, and then to Wang Shichong. Seeing that Wang Shichong was treacherous, he finally joined Li Tang with Cheng Yaojin and others. He followed Li Shimin in battles in the north and south. He was a brave general who could take the heads of enemy generals in the face of thousands of people, but he was also wounded all over his body. After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong suffered from a long illness and died of illness in the twelfth year of Zhenguan. He was promoted to General Zuo Wuwei and Duke Yi Guo. Later, he was given posthumously to the governor of Xuzhou and Duke Hu. In the 17th year of Zhenguan, he entered Lingyan Pavilion.
