The will did not come suddenly, and when Li Qinzai came to the front yard dressed neatly, the Li family, from Li Siwen to the maid, had an expression that should be like this.

Apparently everyone guessed that this was a reward edict.

Li Qinjae made great contributions to Goguryeo and paid a heavy price, if Li Zhi did not say anything, it would be too much to say.

Hurriedly came to the front yard, Li Qinzai found that the incense case had been placed in the middle of the front yard, and Li Siwen, Li Cui's Cui Jie and others were standing quietly in front of the incense case.

Looking at the person who announced the decree again, Li Qinzai smiled.

An old acquaintance, Cui Sheng, a member of the Chinese Academy, and Li Qinzai's eldest brother.

Cui Sheng was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, holding a yellow silk in his hand, with a serious and solemn expression.

Li Qinzai is a decent person, and when he came up, he greeted warmly: "Uncle,...... After all these years, he is still a member of the middle school, why hasn't he been promoted? ”

Cui Sheng's eyelids jumped, and he was heartbroken when he met, can this brother-in-law still recognize him?

"This official is an angel, Li County please respect himself, the holy decree comes, and Li Qinzai salutes and receives the decree."

Li Qinzai, supported by Cui Jie and Li Cui, bowed in the direction of Taiji Palace.

Cui Sheng unfolded the holy decree, and a sprinkled official essay was read in a subdued tone.

What "be careful all night", what "forget yourself and worry about the country", as well as "only virtue is honor", "use of achievements" and so on.

He recounted the various exploits of Li Qinzai since the invention of the divine arm bow, focusing on the merits of Li Qinjae on the battlefield of Goguryeo, and the important role played by gunpowder and firearms in the battle of the Eastern Crusade.

Finally, Cui Sheng's tone paused, and then he read: "...... Ke Jin Qin Zai 'Liaodong County Gong', real food Yi thousand households, give 100 taels of gold, 100 horses of silk, give Chang'an City official residence one, Xian make it heard, Qinzai. ”

After Cui Sheng finished reciting the holy decree, he slowly rolled up the yellow silk and held it in front of Li Qinzai with both hands, only to find that there was silence all around.

Li Siwen and Li Cui's looked at Li Qinzai with a happy face, and Cui Jie, Jinxiang and a group of subordinates were also overjoyed.

The reward for Jin Jue was expected by everyone, but when it came out of Cui Sheng's mouth, people still felt surprised.

Li Qinzai was only shocked, he guessed that the "surprise" that Li Zhi said was about to give him a knighthood, after all, a county prince in his twenties, unless he was a prince of his father, he was promoted by his personal ability alone, and there was no one else since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that everyone did not react, Cui Sheng coughed twice.

Everyone woke up from a dream, and the crowd let out a cheer, and then immediately stopped.

Li Qinzai also coughed and saluted towards Taiji Palace: "Minister Li Qinzai, thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Cui Sheng handed the holy decree to Li Qinzai's hand and looked at the brother-in-law with complicated eyes.

Comparing goods should be thrown, people are young and have been knighted as county dukes, and he is still a scholar in the palace, unless he cuts himself hard in this life, I am afraid that there is no hope for promotion.

Li Qinzai took the holy decree, unfolded it and read it again, and the words "Liaodong County Gong" on it were very conspicuous.

Li Qinzai's face showed a look of enlightenment.

Liaodong County, located in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, is adjacent to Goguryeo, which also has Liaodong City, but it is only the same name, and the two are not the same place.

However, after Goguryeo was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty would definitely redivide the administrative area of Goguryeo, and the northwest of Goguryeo would be assigned to the Liaodong County of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, it is said that it is the prince of Liaodong County, but it is just a name, and Li Zhi will certainly not be generous enough to give him Liaodong County, just as Li Qinzai used to be the prince of Weinan County, and it is not necessarily that Weinan County is his.

It's just that he was named the prince of Liaodong County, which has some political implications in it.

Before the enemy country was defeated, I decided to assign the northwestern territory of Goguryeo to my courtiers, and asked you if you were angry.

In addition, the geographical location of Liaodong County happens to be adjacent to the nomadic tribes such as the Yan Ya and the Murowei in the north, and these nomadic alien races happen to be the enemy army that raided Li Qinzai in the original Black Bone City.

Li Zhi gave the county name to Li Qinzai, which is about a layer of gentleman's revenge, and it is not too late for ten years.

Li Qinzai did not forget the matter of colluding with Goguryeo and raiding the Tang army's camp behind his back, and Li Zhi did not forget it, this matter will never be revealed, and one day, when the Tang Dynasty frees up his hands, the accounts that should be calculated must always be calculated.

Jin Jue, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, did not randomly find a place name and seal it, it has a profound intention, Jin Li Qinzai is the "Duke of Liaodong County", and it is probably decided by Li Zhi after scratching his head.

After reciting the holy decree, Cui Sheng squeezed out a smile: "Congratulations to Li Jungong." ”

Li Qinzai looked at his expression and said, "Uncle, if you are more sincere, you are laughing more ugly than crying now......"

Cui Sheng's smile froze, he snorted, he simply didn't even smile, turned around and left arrogantly.

After Cui Sheng left, the people of the Li Mansion finally cheered without any scruples.

"The fifth young man has become a prince of the county!"

"In the near future, Wu Shaolang may be the Duke of Jin, a real double prince, and the Li family's business will flourish!"

Li Siwen was relieved, and looked at Li Qinzai with a smile.

Li Cuishi was so happy that he didn't know what to do, he pulled his ear fiercely, gave him a slap on the back of the head, and then stroked him distressedly.

Cui Jie and Jin Xiang grabbed his arm left and right.

"Congratulations to the husband, the prince of Jinjue." Cui Jie's eyes were tender and sweet, as if she could pinch out the water.

Jin Xiang also hugged his arm and chuckled: "Congratulations to Fujun for his ascension, our family has enough titles, and Fujun will lead the army again in the future, okay?" ”

Li Qinzai swore like a scumbag who lifted his pants and swore "Okay, I promise you." ”

Li Cuishi looked at his son and two daughters-in-law, and became more and more overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Jue Jin Jungong, but our family Ding is too thin, after Qin Zai recovers from his injury, you still have to work harder." ”

The second daughter hung her head shyly and hummed softly.

Li Qinzai's heart moved, since he was injured, he had not done the things of King Xiang for several months, and he was a little uncomfortable, although his body did not allow it, but ...... They can do it on their own.

Turning his head to look at Cui Jie, after many years of husband and wife, there was finally a tacit understanding, and Cui Jie quickly saw the unkindness in his eyes.

Cui Jie blushed and whispered in his ear: "Husband, don't think about bad things, you better be honest before you recover from your injury, neither the concubine nor Jinxiang agrees." ”

"I have a position problem, and I want to discuss ......it with the two ladies in the evening," Li Qinzai said.

"Phew! Don't even think about it! Cui Jie flatly refused.

…………

Li Qinzai had just returned to Chang'an, and many of the children of the powerful and their relatives and friends did not know the news of his return, and the next day, the news of Li Qinzai's promotion to the prince of the county spread all over Chang'an City.

Chang'an was shocked, and in an instant, countless powerful and high-ranking officials came to visit.

The British Mansion has not been so lively for many years, since the morning, the side door of the Guogong Mansion has been opened, and the Wu housekeeper temporarily acts as a guest, standing outside the door and shouting, a certain Guogong to, a certain founding marquis, a certain prime minister and so on.

The guests are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and they are very polite and will never come to the door empty-handed.

Looking at the lengthy gift list, Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, and he had never been so excited the moment he was promoted to the county prince by Li Zhi.
