"Young Master! Master! ”

Merton rolled over in a daze, pulled the quilt over his head, and ignored the commotion outside.

"Young Master! Wake up, it's your morning jam! "The voice of the purple clothes outside the room is persistent, bang! Slam the door and shake it straight.

"Go to court!"

Merton suddenly jumped out of bed, and there was no trace of sleep.

Today is a day to reward meritorious deeds for drought relief and disaster relief, and as early as yesterday, a eunuch informed Morton that he would go to the morning court.

This is the first time Merton has approached the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, and to be honest, curiosity is definitely greater than excitement.

With a squeak, Merton yawned and casually draped over a suit to open the door.

"It's dawn, it's too late!" Merton looked at the already cloudy sky outside, shocked.

This was his first time on court, and if he was late, he would be dead.

"Young master, it's not too late at all, the early dynasty is in Chenshi, and from now on to the palace, there is enough time." Ziyi hurriedly grabbed Merton, who was running out.

Chenshi!

Merton suddenly made a big red face, only to find that he was deeply poisoned by the Qing court dramas in later generations, and thought that all dynasties were the last dynasty, but fortunately Li Shimin was not the perverted Emperor Yongzheng.

Merton changed into court clothes, had a simple meal, and rushed to the imperial city in a hurry, only to find that there were few ministers coming, and after Merton arrived, this came one after another.

Merton looked at the clearly divided civil and military columns, and consciously ranked at the back of the generals.

In front of him was a person familiar to Morton, Li Junxian, but Li Junxian was very old-fashioned, and he didn't pay attention to Merton's accosting at all, and Merton asked for a boring and embarrassing stand at the end.

There are not many courtiers who are qualified to go to court, and they know each other from time to time, and suddenly a new face appears, which immediately attracts everyone's attention.

"Mo Jiazi!"

Many courtiers suddenly thought that in the last few months, the Mo family had risen like a comet in Chang'an City, and now they had grown to be on a par with them in the court.

Thinking about his own children again, he can't help but feel the feeling of having a son like the Mo family.

"Mo Lie is really a blessing!" Many people in the military sighed that they used to be very familiar with Mo Lie, and they once regretted Mo Lie who died early, but now they are envious.

"Boom!"

The gates of the Imperial City are open!

Merton followed the ministers and the others into the Suzaku Avenue and entered the imperial city.

Compared with the previous two times when Merton entered the imperial city, Merton's mood this time was not as anxious as the previous two times, and he still had the leisure to look around when he walked at the back.

"The one who built the imperial city must be an arithmetic master!" Merton secretly said in his heart, because he found that the biggest feature of the entire imperial city was symmetry.

The entire imperial city is symmetrical along the Suzaku Avenue, as long as there is one on the left side of the Suzaku Avenue, there must be one symmetrical on the right.

Walking to the end of Suzaku Avenue, a towering building appeared in front of Merton. This is the Taiji Hall of the entire Datang power center!

The first time Merton went to court, he couldn't touch the east, west, north and south, but he had a trick, that is, to follow Li Junxian, and sure enough, next to Li Junxian's long table, Merton found his location.

"Whew!"

Merton breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he found it, otherwise Merton would be ready to squeeze together with him regardless of whether Li Junxian agrees or not, who let Merton come before his position was the lowest among the Manchu generals?

Now that he is the penultimate in rank, shouldn't he pay some price?

"The emperor has arrived!"

With Pang De's sharp voice, Li Shimin appeared on the dragon chair, and the early dynasty began.

The efficiency of the Zhenguan period was very high, and one by one political affairs were quickly handled.

Soon, Li Shimin put down the case in his hand and looked at the courtiers.

All the courtiers also put down their government affairs one after another, knowing that it was time to reward them for their meritorious deeds.

"Fang Aiqing! How are the well-drilling tools being distributed in various places? On the dragon chair, Li Shimin asked loudly.

"Back to Your Majesty, all the provinces around Chang'an have been distributed, and they have organized wells, and other northern provinces are being delivered, as for the southern provinces, due to their remote location, the possibility of drought is low, Weichen just sent the drawings over and ordered them to build their own in the local area, and the other northern provinces are also carried out as usual." Fang Xuanling responded.

This is what Fang Xuanling appreciates most about Li Shimin, as long as the matter is in Fang Xuanling's hands, it can always be done properly, and sometimes it is even overdone.

"It's still Fang Aiqing thoughtful!" Li Shimin nodded and praised, if the imperial court is allowed to pay for casting, how many holes will have to be filled in.

"This time, my Datang was able to defeat the drought for the first time, which is a major event unprecedented in a thousand years, and for the 16 guards and soldiers who participated in the disaster relief, each of them will be credited with a meritorious service and a reward of three months." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The military rejoiced.

The value of Datang's military merits is very high, and the officers and soldiers of the Sixteenth Guard will retire and return to their hometowns in the future, at least they will be able to get one more Yongye Tian, and it is not much difficult to be a lieutenant commander, but if you want to climb up, you need greater military exploits.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Dai Guan's heart twitched, this time the household department was going to bleed again, but this money Dai Xuan spent very happily, if the drought in Guanzhong was not controlled, I am afraid that the household department would spend more than 100 times the money.

Li Shimin stopped, looked around, and finally saw Merton, who was looking around behind the thief, and said angrily.

"The founding county of Bomerton offered the method of fighting drought and digging wells, and rewarded the marquis."

For this reward, the minister did not have the slightest surprise, after all, this drought resistance method is too important for the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time that human beings have the means to fight against natural disasters, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is not enough to match Merton's contribution.

Many courtiers looked at Merton in the corner with envy. The title is not casually awarded, and the inherited title is very different from the title rewarded for merit.

From today on, Merton has truly gotten rid of the identity of the second generation of the Lord and has become a veritable marquis, and he is the youngest marquis of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the ministers suddenly found that they should be grateful to Xie Enmorton were indifferent, staring at Li Shimin with a pair of eyes, as if they were continuing to wait for the reward.

Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "Lord Mo is dissatisfied with my reward? ”

"Ahh Wechen don't dare! Morton thanked him with a bitter face, how come others are all added to March, and he has no money.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, Mojia Village can now say that the day is making money, you kid still have the face to give me a reward, for this drought relief, my treasury is empty.

Subsequently, the prison and blacksmiths from all over the country were rewarded, and the meritorious deeds reward conference ended successfully.

Except, Merton has been silently chanting: "Don't even give me a hundred wen." ”
