Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 848 Canonized County Duke
"Many things are almost resolved now, and next, I will reward you for your merits."

After Li Shimin said this, many people in the court were immediately excited.

Especially those who followed Li Jing Qin Tian and the others to set off were even more excited.

Because, except for the later Sui and Liang countries, and the destruction of the Turks, these are all great credits. With such a big credit, how can they get a share of the pie, right?
I'm afraid this will be Li Shimin's second big canonization after he ascended the throne.

The first time, of course, was after the change of Xuanwu Gate.

Everyone waited excitedly. On Li Shimin's side, he opened the credit book that had been made by the official department according to the merits, and started the canonization.

"Li Jing, you deserved the credit for destroying the Turks. You canonize him as the Duke of Wei and reward you with [-] pieces of silk cloth..."

Hearing that Li Jing was directly made Duke, many ministers in the court couldn't help but envy, Duke, he is the first rank among Dukes, and is usually bestowed on the founding heroes, but Li Jing led the army to destroy the Turks This is a serious worry, and it seems that there is no problem in making him the Duke of the country.

On Li Jing's side, after hearing about this title, he was overjoyed and hurried forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin nodded, and then continued reading.

"Qin Tian, ​​after destroying the Sui and Turks, he made meritorious deeds. He was conferred the title of Duke of Qin County and awarded [-] acres of land..."

The county magistrate is the third rank among the dukes. In the Tang Dynasty, he could not be hereditary, but he was already very powerful. However, Qin Tian just curled his lips when he heard the reward.

I have fought outside for a year, and I can say that the credit is not small, but in the end I was only named a county magistrate, which really made Qin Tian feel a little disappointed.

He felt that even if he couldn't be named Duke, it should be fine if he was named Duke or something, right?

If it was a county magistrate, it could be passed on forever, but it is a pity that he is a county magistrate, and he still has a long way to go.

He felt uncomfortable, but Qin Tian didn't dare to hesitate, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Seeing Qin Tian like this, Li Shimin felt amused in his heart. Qin Tian's contribution can naturally make him a county prince, but considering that Qin Tian is too young, it would be inappropriate if he showed his sharpness too much.

Therefore, Li Shimin demoted Qin Tian to one level.

After Qin Tian Xie En withdrew, Li Shimin continued to read. Basically, anyone who has made military exploits in this battle will be rewarded accordingly. Only Qin Tian suppressed it a little.

Who can guess the emperor's mind?
After conferring the rewards like this, it was getting late, but Li Shimin did not let them go, 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 wasn't too dark after dusk in early autumn, after Qin Tian came out of the palace, he rushed to the mansion in a hurry.

There's no way, it's been almost a year since he left home, and he really misses his family members so much.

And just when Qin Tian came out of the palace and rushed to the mansion, the nine princesses and others had already heard the news in the Marquis of Qin's mansion.

However, they were a little angry.

"Your Majesty, it's true. Everyone is back. What are you doing in such a hurry? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?" Tang Rong muttered. It's strange that they were the last to see her husband-in-law when she was back.

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 servant came hurriedly: "Master Hou is back, no no, the little prince is back, the little prince Qin..."

Hearing the servant's words, Tang Rong immediately stood up excitedly: "What do you mean by that, what is it, Young Master Qin?"

"Ma'am, the Holy Majesty has promoted the young master again. This time it is the Duke, the Founding County Duke, from the second rank, and the court has also rewarded many other things..."

The servants spoke excitedly, but Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang didn't listen to him continue, but went out of the living room to greet him.

Not long after, they saw Qin Tian.

"Sanggong..." Tang Rong yelled and rushed over. Lu Huaniang hesitated for a moment, but she didn't look like Tang Rong. She just walked over calmly and said, "Sanggong is back? I have been fighting outside for many years, and I have lost weight."

Qin Tian smiled: "Thin is a little thinner, but the body is getting stronger and stronger. Tonight, let me show you..."

Lu Huaniang's cheeks were slightly red, and she suddenly felt shy and embarrassed: "There are so many people here, Mr. Xianggong, you are not serious..."

"Hahaha, what are you doing seriously in front of your wife?"

Qin Tian joked with Lu Huaniang and the others before walking towards the last nine princesses.

"your Highness."

The Ninth Princess was also very excited at this time, but she restrained herself very much and nodded her head: "It's good that the husband is back, but you have made great achievements in destroying the Turks, why did the Holy Majesty only confer you the title of a county prince?"

Perhaps, for Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang, the title of the founder of the country is already very powerful. After all, in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for those hereditary ones, those who can rely on their ability to become dukes at this age like their husbands, How many can there be?
It's just that they are each other.

However, the nine princesses have a different vision after all, and she doesn't pay attention to the Duke, let alone a county prince, and based on his understanding of the reward and punishment system of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Tian's credit is more than enough to be named a county prince .

The Ninth Princess asked, and Qin Tian felt uncomfortable. It seems impossible to say that he has no pursuit of fame and wealth, but now that everything has been settled, it is useless to talk more, so he can only take it lightly. : "The county magistrate is also good, from the second-rank duke."

Princess Nine curled her lips: "This is obviously unfair reward and punishment. If you think it's wrong, I'll go to Brother Huang tomorrow and ask him to change it for you."

The rewards and punishments were not fair, if there was going to be a scene of trouble, Li Shimin would not be able to step down, but Qin Tian waved his hand: "No, I think the county magistrate is also very good. The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. My foundation is not stable yet. Your Majesty is protecting me."

Qin Tian is a smart person. Although he doesn't like Li Shimin's arrangement very much, he has guessed a little bit about Li Shimin's meaning. Although he can't be messed with by anyone now, it's okay if he is too sharp. Well, Li Shimin's arrangement may have the intention of suppressing him a little bit, but it doesn't mean protecting him?
The ninth princess rolled her eyes: "You are the only one who believes what the emperor says."

Qin Tian laughed loudly, stretched out his arms to put his arms around Princess Nine, and said, "If you have Princess Nine, is there any difference between you, county magistrate, county magistrate?"

After saying that, Qin Tian went directly to the boudoir of the ninth princess with his arms around her. It was self-evident what he meant. Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang looked at each other, and their cheeks blushed again.

They are husbands, and they are too impatient.
