Chapter 848: Canonization of the county duke
"Now that many things have been resolved, I will reward you for your deeds."
After Li Shimin's words came out, many people in the DPRK and China were immediately excited.
Especially those who followed Li Jing and Qin Tian on their expedition were even more excited.
Because, except for the Later Sui and Liang Kingdoms, and the destruction of the Turks, these are all great contributions, such great credits, how can they also get a piece of the pie, right?
I'm afraid that this will become the second big canonization of Li Shimin since he ascended the throne.
The first time, naturally, was after the change of Xuanwumen.
Everyone was waiting excitedly, and Li Shimin's side opened the credit book that had already asked the officials to do according to the merits, and began to canonize it.
"Li Jing, he made great contributions to the destruction of the Turks, canonized the Duke of Weiguo, and rewarded 2,000 horses of silk cloth............"
Hearing that Li Jing was directly crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, many ministers in the court couldn't help but be envious, the Duke of the Kingdom is the first rank among the dukes, and it is generally awarded to the founding heroes, but Li Jing led the troops to exterminate the Turks, which is a big problem, and there seems to be no problem in sealing him the Duke of the Kingdom.
Li Jing's side, after hearing about this title, was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”
Li Shimin nodded, and then continued to read.
"Qin Tian, after the destruction of the Sui and Turks, canonized the Duke of Qin County, and rewarded 500 acres of land............"
The county duke, the third rank among the dukes, in the Tang Dynasty, could not be hereditary, but it was already very powerful, but after Qin Tian heard this reward, he just pouted.
He fought outside for a year, and his merits can be said to be not small, but he was only given a county duke, which really made Qin Tian a little disappointed.
He thinks that even if he can't be crowned a national duke, it should be no problem to be a county duke or something, right?
If it's a county prince, you can pass it on forever, but it's a pity that it's a county prince, and you still have a long way to go.
He felt uncomfortable, but Qin Tian didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly stepped forward and responded: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Li Shimin laughed in his heart when he saw Qin Tian like this, Qin Tian's merits can naturally be crowned a county prince, but considering that Qin Tian is too young, if he is too sharp, it will not be appropriate.
Therefore, Li Shimin lowered Qin Tian by one level.
After Qin Tian thanked him and retreated, Li Shimin continued to read it, basically, but anyone who made meritorious achievements in this battle would be rewarded accordingly, only Qin Tian was slightly suppressed.
The emperor's mental technique, who can guess it?
After the reward was completed in this way, it was not too early, but Li Shimin did not let them leave, but ordered someone to set up a banquet to celebrate their achievements, and finally let them go back.
And at this time, it was already after dusk.
It was not too dark after dusk in early autumn, and after Qin Tian came out of the palace, he hurried to the mansion.
There's no way, it's been almost a year since he left home, and he really misses the people at home.
And just when Qin Tian came out of the palace and rushed to the mansion, here in the Qin Hou Mansion, the Ninth Princess and the others had already learned the news.
However, they were a little angry.
"The Holy One is really, everyone is back, what are you doing in such a hurry, can't you talk about it tomorrow?" Tang Rong muttered, her father-in-law came back, but she didn't want them to see her last, so it was strange that she wasn't angry.
Lu Huaniang was also a little anxious in her heart, but she didn't show it in words.
Just sit in the living room and wait.
At dusk, a subordinate hurriedly ran over: "Master Hou is back, no, no, the little grandfather is back, little grandfather Qin ......"
Hearing the words of the subordinate, Tang Rong suddenly stood up excitedly: "What do you mean by this, what little grandfather Qin?" ”
"Madam, the saint has promoted the young master to a knight again, this time it is the duke, the founding county duke, from the second grade, and the court has also rewarded a lot of other things......"
The subordinate said excitedly, but Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang didn't listen to him continue, but went out of the living room directly to greet him.
It didn't take long for them to see Qin Tian.
"Xianggong ......" Tang Rong shouted and pounced, Lu Huaniang hesitated, but she didn't look like Tang Rong, she just walked over very calmly and said, "Xianggong is back?" This year, I fought outside the war, and I lost weight. ”
Qin Tian smiled: "Thin is a little thinner, but the body is getting stronger and stronger, tonight, let you see ......"
Lu Huaniang's cheeks were slightly red, and she suddenly became embarrassed and embarrassed: "With so many people, you are not serious...... you are a princess."
"Hahaha, what are you doing seriously in front of your wife?"
Qin Tian joked with Lu Huaniang and them, and then walked over to the last Nine Princesses.
"Your Highness the Princess."
The ninth princess was also very excited at this time, but she was very restrained and nodded: "It's good that Xianggong comes back, but you have made great contributions to destroying the Turks, why did the saint only confer on you the title of a county duke?" ”
Perhaps, for Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang, the title of a founding prince is already very powerful, after all, in the entire Tang Dynasty now, except for those hereditary, how many people can be crowned dukes at this age by virtue of their ability?
It's just one of them.
However, the ninth princess has a different vision in the end, and she doesn't care about the princess, let alone just a county duke, and with his understanding of the reward and punishment system of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Tian's merits are more than enough to seal a county duke.
The ninth princess asked, Qin Tian was also uncomfortable, for fame and fortune or something, it seemed impossible to say that he had no pursuit, but now that it had been decided, it was useless to say more, so he could only disagree and said: "The county duke is not bad, from the second rank of the duke." ”
The ninth princess pursed her lips: "This is clearly an unfair reward and punishment, if you think it is inappropriate, I will go to the imperial brother tomorrow and ask him to change it for you." ”
The rewards and punishments are unfair, if you really want to make trouble, Li Shimin can't get off the stage, but Qin Tian waved his hand: "Don't, I think the county prince is also very good, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, my foundation is not stable, the saint is protecting me." ”
Qin Tian is a smart person, although he doesn't like Li Shimin's arrangement very much, but he has somewhat guessed what Li Shimin means, although he is not something that anyone can mess with now, but it is not good to be too sharp, Li Shimin's arrangement may have the intention of suppressing him a little, but why not protect him?
The ninth princess rolled her eyes: "That's why you believe the words of the imperial brother." ”
Qin Tian laughed, stretched out his hand to hug the ninth princess, and said, "There are nine princesses, the county prince, the county prince or something, is there a difference?" ”
Saying that, Qin Tian directly took the Ninth Princess to the boudoir of the Ninth Princess, what does it mean, it is naturally self-evident, Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang looked at each other, and their cheeks suddenly couldn't help but turn red again.
They are fair, and they are too anxious.
