Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 134 Wu Zhao's Wish

At this time, it is noon!
The sun above the head is like a stove, scorching the earth.

Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin.

A group of people set off from the palace.

Go all the way south.

Behind Cheng Yaojin is the team offering rewards.

Li Delu, the chief servant, personally holds His Majesty's imperial edict.

This imperial decree was naturally made by the Ministry of Rites.

It is nothing more than written according to His Majesty's oral order.

When it comes to Li Shimin's award, even the officials feel that it is a little too light.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he conferred meritorious officials, including more than [-] people, only the Duke and Marquis.

As for the number one scholar who made books, he made such a contribution, but he was granted the title of the youngest Lantian County Marquis.

It's really a bit of a feeling of lifting it high and putting it down gently.

As the saying goes, the heart of an emperor is the most unpredictable!

Since it is His Majesty's will, all the ministers naturally have no objection!
Speak up!

Among all the rewards, the greatest reward is to announce to the world.

Once the announcement is made, the world will definitely be shocked!

Overnight, Zhuangyuan Lang's reputation among the people will definitely reach an unimaginable level!
……

In the manor in the south of Chang'an City.

After King Hejian, Du Xiang, Wei Zhongcheng and Su Guogong left.

Li Gen and Grandpa chatted for a few words, and then began to make people hurry up and kill pigs and sheep.

A lot of chicken, duck and geese are also prepared.

Li Gen had a hunch that if there were no accidents, the reward would come down soon.

When the four dogs rushed out of the door aggressively again.

Li Gen knew that this was the rewarding team.

Because he also vaguely heard the sound of carriages and horseshoes.

Li Gen walked quickly to the door.

Immediately settle the four dogs.

Because of the distance of a hundred steps, the leader is none other than Su Guogong Cheng Yaojin.

"Director Li, this is the number one scholar."

Seeing Li Gen coming out, Cheng Yaojin smiled and said immediately.

"Zhuangyuanlang, I didn't expect my old Cheng to come back so soon, did you?"

Cheng Yaojin got off his horse and laughed loudly.

"Uncle Lao Cheng will run again on a hot day. The younger generation has prepared drinks, and treat Uncle Cheng well later."

"Hey, I think this is good!"

When Cheng Yaojin heard that there was wine to drink, there must be meat to eat, and he was instantly happy.

"This is Mr. Li, the chief servant who delivered the decree. The items behind are all rewards from His Majesty."

When Cheng Yaojin's words fell to the ground, Li Gen clasped his fists and saluted.

"Boss Manager Li came here in person, please accept this kindness from Manager Li."

Li Gen directly took out a handful of gold leaves from his sleeve and stuffed them into Li Delu's hands.

Hey!
Li Delu's mouth couldn't close his smile instantly.

I didn't expect the harvest from this trip to be so great.

Li Delu took a closer look at the No. [-] scholar, and his heart skipped a beat.

This, this is too much like His Majesty!

There is a problem, there must be a big secret in it.

Li Delu has been able to rule the palace for many years. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was able to ascend to the position of chief servant. Naturally, Li Delu has excellent skills.

"Zhuangyuanlang, this is His Majesty's imperial decree. The carriage behind this is all gifts from His Majesty. Please take a look at it!"

"The imperial decree has been sent, and I should return to the palace to return to my order."

"Director Li, don't be in a hurry. Since you are here, you have to drink a glass of wine before you go. The road is far away in this hot weather. If you delay for a while, His Majesty will definitely not blame you."

Li Gen's words made Li Delu hesitate for a moment, but finally agreed happily.

"In that case, I would like to thank Zhuangyuan Lang."

Li Delu stepped into the manor, and when he saw the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and Princess Changle, he was almost dumbfounded.

Fortunately, when Li Delu met Li Gen, he had already made some mental preparations, otherwise he would definitely meet the Supreme Emperor and His Highness the Princess on the spot.

"Grandpa, Lele, this is a reward sent by His Majesty. This is Mr. Li who is beside His Majesty."

Li Yuan and Chang Le hurriedly smiled and nodded.

Li Delu took a deep breath, bit the bullet and hurriedly returned the gift.

"Eldest grandson, can you be granted the title of Marquis by the current Holy One?"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Delu, the chief servant, immediately said with a smile.

"Sealed, sealed, Zhuangyuanlang is now the Marquis of Lantian County, with 120 households in Shiyi."

"Now I have to be honored as Marquis of Lantian!"

"Lan Tianhou, you are the first Marquis honored by His Majesty this year!"

Li Gen opened the imperial decree and saw that it was so, and he was very happy.

Immediately ordered Chunmei and Chunlan to distribute the money to those servants who came to give the rewards.

All the servants could not close their mouths happily.

The sun is scorching outside, and the air is cool inside.

After Cheng Yaojin and Li Delu satiated with wine and food, they led a group of people and left.

Those who followed to give the rewards also ate under the shade of the tree with their mouths full of oil.

"Grand grandson, you are the first Lord Hou of our old Li family. Grandpa is really happy for you."

"Lele pays homage to Lan Tianhou!"

Chang Le saluted gracefully, which made Li Yuan and Li Gen laugh.

"You guys have to change your mouth in the future, you can just call him Lord Hou from now on!"

Li Yuan gave instructions to a group of servants.

"See Lord Hou!"

"Rewards, all rewards!"

Li Gen was in an infinitely good mood.

After more than half a year, after a lot of hard work, I finally achieved something today.

If the number one scholar is just a false name, Hou Ye's weight is real.

After all, throughout the ages, there have been many champions who failed to achieve anything in their official careers!

.........

Jingzhou!

One of China Kyushu.

The vast territory is slightly larger than the total area of ​​Hunan and Hubei in later generations.

The governor of Jingzhou, the warrior Xun.

Samurai Yu was born in the sixth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was keen on reading when he was young. He especially liked loyal ministers and righteous men.

During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, the samurai Xun was engaged in the timber business. Emperor Sui Yang recruited soldiers on a large scale.

In the 11th year of Daye, Li Yuan was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou and the comfort ambassador of Hedong. During this period, when Li Yuan suppressed the uprising, he once rested at the home of a warrior.

In the 13th year of Daye, the samurai Xun supported Tang Guogong Li Yuan and raised troops in Jinyang, and then followed Li Shimin's army to pacify Chang'an.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was listed as one of the meritorious officials of Yuanmou in Taiyuan.

Li Xiaogong was sent to Beijing by Li Yuan from the south of the Yangtze River.

Since then, he has never left Chang'an City.

The samurai Xun was successively appointed as the governor of Yuzhou and Lizhou, and Li Shimin was transferred to the governor of Jingzhou after he ascended the throne.

Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

The warrior Xun looked at His Majesty's imperial decree, and couldn't help whispering softly.

"Father, what are you looking at?"

A little girl as cute as a porcelain doll appeared in front of the warrior Xun.

"The number one scholar in the current department is really young and promising. The 13-year-old number one scholar even invented the method of engraving books."

"Father is also full of admiration after seeing it."

"Father, is the 13-year-old No. [-] Scholar very good? Then Wu Zhao will take a No. [-] Scholar in the future to show my father!"

Hearing what his daughter said, the warrior Xun loved her, stroked her little head and said.

"You have been smart and studious since you were a child, and my father is very pleased, but the idea of ​​being the number one scholar is no longer there. Women are not allowed to take the imperial examination. Even if you are the governor of Jingzhou for your father, there is nothing you can do!"
