Li Shimin showed a look of approval and said: "Mao Gong said that you have a pure character, and I still don't believe it, but now when I see it, it is true." But you don't have to be too humble, merit is to be rewarded, Fang Xiang, you say, how should this merit be rewarded? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Li Mu reported the news in time, which is enough to turn the tide of the war, if you talk about rewards, according to the minister's opinion, the baron will be crowned, the reward will be ten thousand gold, and the land will be twenty hectares." ”

"Good! Just according to what Qing said. Feng Li Mu opened the county male, rewarded 10,000 gold, and measured 20 hectares of fertile land in the east of Bashui. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Li Mu complained bitterly in his heart, this little abacus didn't work out, why did he make a baron? The Marquis of Lao Tzu is gone? What is comforting is that he was also rewarded with 'ten thousand gold' and fields, alas, that's it, that's not bad. Although there were many thoughts in his heart, but his face was full of gratitude, Li Shimin saw it, and his heart was even more satisfied, and then said: "I ask you again, pour three cups, but what are you brewing?" ”

And also? Li Mu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ancestral wine-making of the grass people's father-in-law, and the grass people know a little bit. When he was captured in the Turkic camp, the grass people were arranged to be cooks, and they had seen the Turks brew Sanle pulp. The three-cup brewing method is the result of the combination of the two brewing methods and the experimentation of the grass people. Its specific process is to ...... first"

Li Muzuo was about to tell the brewing method, but how could he really say it, it was nothing more than to gain a real impression. Sure enough, just as he was about to say it, he was interrupted by Li Shimin: "I'm not asking you about the secret method, so there is no need to talk about this." Also, you already have a knighthood, and you can no longer call yourself a grass people. ”

"Minister...... Got it. ”

"On that day, I recruited the winemakers into Chang'an, and you had already set off, why did you return? And why was he left alone? Li Shimin looked at Li Mu with burning eyes, and asked in an aggravated voice: "But is it for the sake of passing on the merits of the jade seal of the country?" ”

Li Mu hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister will leave at that time, because Li Siwen informed the minister that His Majesty ordered the people who made wine to enter Chang'an to serve the emperor." In addition, at that time, they found Queen Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, and they were about to be sent to Chang'an, so they set off together. Halfway through, the minister heard that Dingxiangcheng was in trouble, and the minister and Li Siwen were like-minded, like brothers, and had no idea at that time, but they felt that they couldn't just walk away like this. Moreover, at that time, the minister temporarily took the post of Xiangxian Cheng, and he also participated in the recruitment of displaced people, and many promises were guaranteed to the displaced people by the minister and Li Siwen. The minister also said before that the people of the border city suffered from the Turkic raids, and the minister and these displaced people are all the people of the border city, but they are just lucky not to become outcasts, so they can understand their feelings. ”

As for why the minister stayed alone, the minister can frankly admit that it is indeed for the sake of passing on the jade seal of the country. The reason is because when the city was facing each other, Princess Yicheng once said that she came to Xiangcheng for two people and one thing. The minister guessed that these two people must be Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, and the things that can make her so prosperous must not be idle things, and it is very likely to be the jade seal of the country. At that time, the minister thought that if the minister also left together, this heirloom jade seal to the hands of Princess Yicheng, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover, if it is lost, I am really ashamed of Your Majesty, ashamed of Sheji, so I chose to stay. At that time, the city of Dingxiang had already poured into the front enemy, and the danger was everywhere, if there were many people, the target was also large, and the role played was not obvious, and the minister was not easy to be found alone. And the minister knew that he was invincible, and he didn't want to win the heirloom jade seal, but he just wanted to see if Princess Yicheng could find the heirloom jade seal, and if she found it, where would she take it, and wait for the reinforcements to come and chase after it. It was a pure accident to get it, after Gaine entered the city, the enemy army found the treasure trove of Jieli, and they all went to fight for the property and caused the princess Yicheng to be alone, and the minister took advantage of his unpreparedness, jumped off the roof and attacked secretly, and won a blow, only to get the jade seal of the country, and it was also caused by the emperor and His Majesty's blessings, and the minister did not dare to speak in vain. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Thoughtful, brave and strategic, and so cautious in speaking, he is really a young talent." I heard that you have married Li Siwen, it is really not a family that does not enter the door, and you have the style of your stepfather. ”

Li Ji opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers ......."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and asked Fang Xuanling again, "Let's not talk about the merit of regaining the jade seal of the country, but only the merit of defending the city, Fang Xiang, what reward should Li Mu deserve?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The former Sui Yicheng princess, with a vicious mind, disregarded the safety of the people at dawn, and repeatedly provoked the war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, which is really a national thief. Li Mu has meritorious service in guarding the city, meritorious service in preserving the lives of the people, meritorious service in killing national thieves, these three merits are combined, according to the minister's view, he can enter the Viscount Li Mu, reward 100,000 gold, 50 hectares of fertile land, and add his mother's seven products. ”

Li Shimin looked around and said, "Do you have any objections?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji both said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "In this case, Li Mu will be awarded 100,000 gold to open the county, and another 50 hectares of fertile land will be selected in the east of Bashui, and his mother will be sealed with seven products." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Li Mu hurriedly bowed down, he had already heard Li Siwen say that Li Shimin did not hesitate to reward, just now he thought it was fake, but now he knows that it is true. Not to mention this title, the gold cakes are all rewards of 10,000 or 100,000 yuan, no wonder Li Siwen said that he is empty inside, can such a reward not be empty?

"As for the reward for finding the merit of inheriting the jade seal of the country...... Li Shimin looked at the Emperor Li Yuan and said: "Father, in the past, you once sent a message to the Quartet for the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, and you are still in charge of the reward for this merit." ”

Li Yuan nodded, suddenly sighed, and said, "How many crises there were in the past, to this day, I still remember it vividly. Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Xiao Miao...... Aren't they heroes? How many times, Datang has been in a desperate situation because of them. In the end, they were defeated by my father and son, and the difficulties of establishing a country were well understood by the secretaries in their hearts. Today, the people of the world pacified the Turks and ushered in the jade seal of the country, which is enough to prove that my Longxi Li clan has set the Central Plains, which is the destiny of heaven! ”

Li Shimin hurriedly slapped his ass on the back and said, "What my father said is very true!" The father founded the country, it was difficult to start a business, and the son's small achievements were not commendable. Now that the Tang Dynasty has returned to its heart, it has also ushered in the jade seal of the country, all of which are your merits. Under your earnest teachings, your son barely learned one or two of your skills, and worked hard to live up to your hard work. Without the support of your will, my son would never have been able to destroy the Turks and take revenge, all thanks to you. ”

Li Yuan smiled slightly, he was not old and confused, where could he not hear the compliment in these words, seeing that his son had become an emperor, and he was still so cautious, it was indeed not easy, and the resentment accumulated over the years in his heart was also a little less, and continued: "Sui lost its deer, and the world chased it." Isn't this heirloom jade seal like this 'deer', the object of competition among the world's heroes? I said back then that those who find the jade seal of the country will be a marquis regardless of their origin. Today, Li Mu found the jade seal of the country, and made many contributions, and I can't break my word. In this way, I borrowed the word 'deer' to seal him a 'deer hou', what do you think? ”

"Very good!" Li Shimin immediately said: "Li Mu, the Emperor Taishang named you the Marquis of Zhulu, aren't you grateful?" ”

"Emperor Xie Longen, Your Majesty Xie Longen!"

"Wait!" Li Yuan suddenly spoke again, and Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Father, do you want to reward again?" ”

"It's a good wine, I like it. You're a clever kid, and I like it too. I heard you're married? Then I will reward your main room with a five-grade edict and seal her Mrs. Luxian. Go back and brew a batch of wine and send it to the palace. ”
