Chapter 82 On the Reward of Merit

"As a result, none of these courtiers have ever seen this kind of word?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

"Yes, the masters can only be sure that it is something from 800 years ago to 1,000 years ago, that is, during the Hun period, but it is not a Xiongnu script, and if you don't say it, we can only bring it back, please find a way, Your Highness." Xue Rengui said.

At this time, it was already the second day after he returned, and after determining that He Chuanshan and the others could not decipher the words on the animal skin, several people couldn't wait, so they handed over a large number of prisoners to Li Ji for trusteeship, and he took two thousand personal guards, escorted many harvests to return to Li Zhen in advance, and after a few days of marching, he finally returned to the army last night.

"Forget it, there are many talented people in Datang, and they can always find a solution, don't talk about this, let's talk about you." Li Zhen opened the animal skin and looked at it, and after making sure that he didn't know it, he put the animal skin away casually, and praised it in his mouth: "Since ancient times, the merit is no greater than the Savior, but in my opinion, your journey of thousands of miles to capture the lord of a country alive, the merit is even greater than the Savior. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." The three of them were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

"It doesn't have to be that way, you deserve it." Li Zhen smiled: "What's more, although it was you who caught Jieli, the biggest benefit was that I took it, and I have to thank you for it......"

"The subordinates don't dare."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I do have to thank you, but how do I reward you? ...... Eh, by the way, Rengui, you're not married yet, are you? Li Zhen suddenly thought of something and asked with a smile.

Xue Rengui's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, but he still replied honestly: "Huh? ...... Open...... His Royal Highness...... No. ”

"That's great." Li Zhen clapped her hands and said happily: "My sister Princess Xiangcheng is about the same age as you, and when the time comes, I will ask my father to see if I can marry my sister to you." ”

"Poof......" Du He and Fang Yiai sprayed at that time.

After spraying, it was absolute support, and Fang Yiai smiled even more: "Hahaha...... Your Highness, this attention is fantastic, and I absolutely support it. ”

"It's indeed a good proposal, but Your Highness, can the emperor agree?" Although Du He also supported it, he was worried that the emperor would not agree, because although Xue Rengui had outstanding military achievements and was also extraordinary, after all, he was not a meritorious service, and he broke away from the Xue family, would Li Shimin agree?

"You can rest assured that as long as I bring it up, my father will definitely agree." Li Zhen assured that he was not talking big, but with full certainty: "The only question now is, Rengui, do you agree?" ”

"This ...... Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, it's just ......" Xue Rengui hesitated for a long time, but still told the truth: "It's just that although the subordinates are not married, when the father is here, he has already set a marriage for his subordinates and the Liu family, if His Royal Highness does not recruit him this time, the subordinates should have married the daughter of the Liu family." ”

"Oh, that's it, forget it." Li Zhen looked disappointed, but she didn't expect Xue Rengui to still settle a relationship with the daughter of the Liu family.

"But in that case, I'll have to prepare a new reward for you, trouble." Li Zhen has always been generous to his subordinates, this time the three of them have made such a great contribution, they must be rewarded heavily, of course, there is general gold and silver, but they lack a most important reward, which is troublesome.

"Your Highness, don't be so troublesome, you can just reward your subordinates with a little reward of 100,000 yuan, and other subordinates don't want it." Du He said with a look of wealth on his face, he is a super official of the second generation, and he has always spent money lavishly, not only his monthly money has to be spent, but he also owes a large amount of foreign debt. Now that he has changed his mind, these arrears have become his biggest heart disease, but as a middle-level officer, how much salary can he have? Even if you don't eat or drink, if you want to pay off your foreign debts, you won't be able to do it in three or five years.

"Wocao, 100,000 yuan, Du Er, you are really greedy, aren't you afraid that so much money will stone you to death?" Fang Yiai teased, and said to Li Zhen with a flattering face: "Your Highness, in fact, your subordinates also mean the same thing, but your subordinates don't want money, do you think you can buy seventy or eighty sets of armor for your subordinates?" Preferably Mingguang armor. My father is too picky, after I went on the expedition, he just gave me a pair of scale armor, and the Mo knife was given by my mother, and now I have the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and there is no shortage of weapons, so there is a lack of good armor, you see......"

"Wo Cao, Fang Er, Fang Er, you are really dark enough, and you still have seventy or eighty pairs of armor? Have you worn all this armor? You're not going to take it out and sell it, are you? After being laughed at, Du He was naturally not to be outdone, and ridiculed Fang Yiai.

"Cut, can you handle it?" Fang Yi's love is empty, he is actually such a plan.

When Fang Du and the two asked, Li Zhen did not say yes or no, but asked Xue Rengui: "What about you, Rengui, do you have anything you want?" ”

"This ...... In fact, the subordinates also have a little request. Xue Rengui was also not polite, and said: "My subordinate father died early, his family was poor since he was a child, his food and clothing were thin, and he could not continue to eat, but fortunately his neighbors grew up, and his subordinates had no other requirements, I only hope that His Royal Highness can reward his subordinates with more acres of land, so that his subordinates can repay their neighbors." ”

"Oh? Do you mean, are you going to give it to your neighbors? Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked strangely.

"Yes." Xue Rengui knew that his actions were a bit rude, and he was afraid that Li Zhen would not agree, so he hurriedly said: "If your subordinates' actions are not in accordance with the rules, please ask Your Highness to reward your subordinates with a little money, and your subordinates can buy it themselves." ”

"Good, good, good, good." Li Zhen suddenly laughed and looked at the worried Xue Rengui: "What a loving and righteous Xue Rengui, since you are affectionate and righteous, how can this king be this wicked person?" Arise and hear. ”

"Yes."

Li Zhen's face was solemn, his voice was low, and he announced: "Mingwei Captain Xue Zili, joined the army at a young age, conscientious, brave and strategic, led two thousand elites in the battle to destroy the Turks, rushed for thousands of miles, captured Jie Li, made outstanding contributions, and was both affectionate and righteous, and had to remember the old neighbors, which can be called an example, and the lonely heart is very comforting, and he is rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land, a new house, a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, ten plates of pearls, a treasure knife, a pair of armor, and a horse of thousands of miles. ”

"......" Xue Rengui and the three of them were suddenly covered with black lines, what I said earlier was very good, but what the hell are you above later? Do we use this word to end our Datang?

"Xue Rengui, you are so rude, why don't you thank you quickly?" Li Ergou on the side was stunned when he saw Xue Rengui, although he didn't know why he was stunned, but he still reminded him kindly.

"Oh, subordinate Xue Rengui, thank you for your kindness." Xue Rengui also reacted, no matter what the hell it is, gratitude is necessary at the moment.

"Get up." Li Zhen was actually stunned himself, he didn't expect that at the end, his mouth was bald, and he used the terms of later generations, he was so embarrassed at that time...... Fortunately, Li Ergou spoke in time and gave him a step down, otherwise he might not know how to finish it.
