Chastity Layman

In the lakeside hall.

Li Shimin took Qin Qiong's hand and walked to the couch and sat down together.

"Shubao, if it weren't for your father and son this time, I'm afraid I would lose my head today. Without the information and persuasion of your father and son, I'm still fantasizing that one day I will be able to get the emperor's canonization, and I even think that I can do it in the future." Back to Luoyang. Thanks to you, besides, what happened today is extremely dangerous, if you hadn't risked Zhai Changsun to come back early with 1,500 people in secret, the Xuanwu Gate would definitely not be able to defend it, and I would not escape death either."

"Sanlang's contribution this time is really great. You probably never imagined that he has such a great ability. In just three days, he organized a team of more than a thousand people, all of whom were prisoners in Chang'an Prison and officials from the Yamen. I was really surprised by the bad guys, the vagabonds in the market, the bad boys, etc., but he was able to rush through the Fanglin Gate with this group of temporarily organized mobs, beat back the Donggong soldiers at the Xuanwu Gate, and rushed to rescue Hong The siege of Yi Palace, he not only guaranteed today's success, saved my life, even saved the lives of my wife and children."

Thinking about the crisis at that time, I am a little scared now.

"Before I set off this morning, I told them that after the event is completed, the wealth and honor will be shared, and everyone will not lose the title of duke. With Saburo's merits, it is not an exaggeration to make him a duke."

Qin Qiong still shook her head again and again, "Your Highness, my father and son just did some insignificant things, which are really not worth mentioning."

"Shubao, you have been with me for seven years, you are loyal, and you have saved my life countless times on the battlefield. Now this time is even more extraordinary. You deserve the reward I gave you. Back then, I The Li family raised troops in Taiyuan. At that time, His Majesty was very generous to the righteous men who came to vote. He once said that the swordsman on the battlefield has no eyes, no matter how high or low, so the rewards are only based on merit, regardless of status. Fan Xing, Qian Jiulong, and Ma Sanbao , They were all slaves in the past, but now they are all dukes and generals. Nothing else, because they fought for the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements in battle. These official positions and titles are all earned by their skills."

"Although Sanlang is young, he has indeed made great contributions this time, so he deserves a title. I will not only confer on him the Duke of Yi, but also the honor of Shangzhu. Today's achievements are enough to record The honor has been awarded to Shangzhu Kingdom."

Shangzhu Kingdom is an honor, it has to be the honor of the twelfth turn, although you can add up your merits, but it is still very difficult to be promoted to Zhu Kingdom with real skills. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been few Shangzhu Kingdoms, except for those with There are even fewer people who come to invest in the land and win the Shangzhu Kingdom.

Qin Qiong and Wang Junkuo, the two dukes of the state, won the honor of the state, the rest of the famous generals, such as Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Jing, did not receive the honor of the state.

"Your Highness, I don't dare to accept the title of the Duke of Qi, nor dare to be moved by the General Zuowei. Please take back your order. Although the dog has made some minor contributions, he dare not accept this great reward."

"You have rewarded and punished, so don't talk about it anymore." Li Shimin changed the subject and began to discuss with Qin Qiong about Chang'an's deployment and the transfer of soldiers.

Liu Hongji sat on the side, no one paid attention to him at all.

He sat there alone, seeing the new crown prince's love for Qin Qiong and his son, he felt sour and envious.

a long time.

"Ren Guogong?" A faint voice rang in his ear.

Liu Hongji suddenly returned to his senses.

"Duke Ren, I have decided to transfer you as General Zuo Xiaowei, Changsun Shunde as General You Xiaowei, Hou Junji as General Zuo Wuhou, and Yuchi Jingde as General You Wuhou."

Liu Hongji was stunned. Changing from General Zuo Wuhou to General Zuo Xiaowei was just a flat tune.

But compared with the high promotions of Qin Qiong, Hou Junji and others, his mediocre tone is a bit conspicuous. If it doesn't go up, it goes down.

"My minister, Liu Hongji, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Hongji, the hero of Taiyuan Yuancong, can only thank him.

afternoon.

Cheng Yaojin, led by the prince's right guard and the general of the right military guard, brought a large group of fully armed soldiers and horses to take over Hongyi Palace.

"Good boy, I have heard a lot about you, and you performed well today."

Regardless of the heat and still wearing armor, Lao Cheng came over and slapped Qin Lang heavily on the shoulder.

"So-so, you can't compare with Uncle Cheng."

"I have met your old man. He just came from the Weishui camp. Now in the Linhu Palace, he has been awarded the title of General of the Left Guard. He is now in charge of the safety of the guards in the palace. He will stay in the palace to preside over the defense for the time being."

Seeing Qin Lang's foolish look now, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but sigh a little, thinking of his own sons, compared to Qin Lang, they were totally inferior. At his age, Qin Sanlang is already able to stand on his own, stand on his own, and still make such great contributions.

As for those bastards in my family, they also made some efforts by their side last night, but it was only a little bit of effort.

It's true that people are dead compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared with goods.

"Okay, from now on, this place will be handed over to us, Donggong Youwei, and you can disband and rest."

"Uncle Cheng, my team is a bit complicated, there must be an arrangement for this?"

Qin Lang gestured with his fingers a few times while talking.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, this is an act of counting money, maybe something is wrong, that is, people like me are prisoners pulled out of prisons, as well as rangers and scoundrels on the street, as well as bad people in the yamen, and even There are Marquis Wu of the street shop, I promised them that they will work hard with me, and there will be rewards. Now, it must be fulfilled."

Cheng Yaojin touched the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm not in charge of this, but don't worry, I won't obliterate their credit. By the way, let me tell you some good news. The crown prince has decided to change your father's title to Qi Guogong, and you will be named Yi Guogong. I want to award you the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom, let's have fun."

Duke Yi and Shangzhu Kingdom, he really hadn't thought about it. Although the titles at the beginning of the founding of the country were relatively casual and not very valuable, and Li Shimin didn't say whether the title of Duke Yi was real or false. , In fact, it is not very valuable.

"What about my men?"

"We can't send them back to prison again, they are heroes of the Xuanwu Sect."

"Uncle Cheng, I would like to remind you that it is best not to directly mention Xuanwumen in the future. If you want to say it, you should say it is Jingluan. Regarding them, you can go to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, or Find Gao Shilian, he was your boss before, but now he is the inspector and servant, and he has entered the center as the prime minister."

Qin Lang nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Cheng, I'll take the brothers back to the Chang'an county government first."

"Don't worry, there will be rewards for meritorious deeds, it's just a matter of time, but you remember to restrain these people well, no matter who they were in the past, they are now your subordinates, if they commit any crimes, you will always be rewarded." It is going to be held on your head. And you, you will definitely have a new official position, just wait."

Qin Lang knew that Chang'an City was still in chaos and everyone was busy, so he simply handed over to Cheng Yaojin.

In fact, there is nothing to explain, but he waved his hand, said hello, and withdrew.

Then everyone mentioned their own things, as well as the heads that were beheaded, the armor and weapons that were taken off, and the valuables that were found, waiting to leave.

Because everyone was thinking about the reward, none of the prisoners escaped, and the rangers and rascals were still there. Even the original team of thousands of people has now expanded to almost 3,000 people. Many people came to fish in troubled waters later. Want to mix credit.

Although most people were just shouting and cheering behind, Qin Lang didn't bother to pursue it.

As long as it comes, it counts as one.

The team headed back to the Chang'an County Yamen in a mighty manner, and the way they swaggered along the way was quite majestic.

As a result, some guys, perhaps too complacent, forgot their appearance, and some people actually robbed the houses of the common people along the way, and even when passing by the West Market, someone actually smashed open the gate of the West Market Square and entered to rob the shops.

When he received the news, Qin Lang had already arrived at the Yamen of Yongzhou in Guangdefang.

"Damn, it's really lawless. Are you trying to take advantage of the fire? Wei Chang, Liu Jiu!"

The two stepped forward, "Sanlang?"

"Brothers risked their lives today, and they have made a little credit. Don't let those stinky mouse shit ruin a pot of good soup. Not only will they not be successful, but they will also bring the brothers to bear the blame. Go, bring Some capable brothers, catch those mice back, if they don’t obey orders, they will kill their mothers directly.”

Qin Lang ordered angrily.

"Sanlang, the brothers have been tired all day, and it's normal to vent." Liu Jiu said indifferently. When he used to rebel, he liked to rob after the battle when he attacked the city and looted the land. This can boost morale , Inspire the morale of the army.

"Brother Liu Jiu, where do you think this is? This is Chang'an City. Who dares to make a mistake? Who can live in it? Go, tie these guys back immediately, and after they are tied up, they will whip twenty lashes each and throw them into prison Go and calm down."

After making arrangements, Qin Lang went to see Gao Shilian.

As a result, Gao Shilian had already gone to the province under the gate of the imperial city to serve.

Gao Shilian didn't see him, but Xu Jingzong.

Before Gao Shilian left, the county magistrate of Chang'an was assigned a temporary post in the central government of Yongzhou.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu, for his promotion." Qin Lang cupped his hands to congratulate him.

"It's just temporary. I'm still the county magistrate of Chang'an." Xu Jingzong couldn't hide his joy and excitement, and he was very happy to see Qin Lang and pulled him to sit down. "Sanlang, Chang'an City is still in a mess. Although Jian Jiancheng and Yuanji have been killed, their remnants are still there. I have to take care of the Yongzhou Yamen for the time being, and the Chang'an County Yamen can't take care of it. Come on." It's just right, this is written to you by Gao Shizhong, from now on, you are the chief inspector, the county magistrate An."

Qin Lang didn't expect that there would be such a thing waiting for him. He smiled wryly, "Xu Gong, I came here to ask how to deal with those people under my command. There are many prisoners among them. I promised to For those who pardon them, I would like to ask for an official document."

"There are so many things going on now, how can I take care of these things." Xu Jingzong spread his hands, "There is a mess everywhere, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, so, anyway, you are now the chief inspector and county magistrate, so you can decide and deal with these things yourself. Records of meritorious deeds, rewards that should be rewarded, and releases that should be released, you should make a good record and remember to report it, if there is no money in the government treasury, you should remember it first, and then send it out when it is sorted out later."

"Sanlang, I'll leave it all to you in the Chang'an county government office. Don't say anything else, you first throw those bad people on the street for me, and maintain the order on the street first, don't let people take advantage of the chaos Robbery, let alone arson and murder."

Xu Jingzong was very busy, and after saying a few words, he was busy with other things, so Qin Lang finally had no choice but to come out.

"Saburo, what do you say?"

"Let the brothers follow me back to the Chang'an County Government Office in Changshoufang. From now on, I will be the Prosecutor's County Magistrate. I have the final say on these matters." Qin Lang waved his hand out.
