Because of the unexpected joy of discovering cement, Xia Hongsheng delayed until the sun began to turn westward before he began to return to Chang'an. When we arrived in Chang'an, the city gates were closed. Xia Hongsheng asked Qi Yong to call the city gate and showed his letter talisman, and after the city gate guards carefully checked it, they were let in again.

Xia Hongsheng was excited, and he didn't sleep much after he went back, and in the second half of the night, he felt that he had just squinted for a while, and the maid outside came to call the door - Xia Hongsheng told her to wake herself up earlier.

got up and put on the underwear, and then asked the maid to help him wear the court clothes that he only wore when he officially went to the court, and it was time to go out.

Qi Yong drove the carriage straight to the Vermilion Bird Gate, as if rushing on the street, there were many carriages, or military generals on horseback rushed to the Vermilion Bird Gate, this is the inevitable grand scene in Chang'an every morning of the first and fifth days, after all, if you are late when you order the scepter, the taste of the court staff is not comfortable, and sometimes you are in a bad mood when you meet Li Laoer, and it is possible to be demoted directly, so everyone pays great attention to it.

When they arrived at the door of Suzaku, Duan Zan was also there, the two of them were now at the same level, and they both held military positions, so they were standing together, and the two of them whispered something sneakily to the top of the hall, so they could pass the time.

As usual, the officials of the household department first reported the situation of the locust plague in various places and the disaster relief, and the bigwigs expressed their opinions and debated from time to time. Li Tang's court is quite enlightened, and the ministers dare to express their views and opinions, sometimes they will quarrel, and even like scolding the street, these Xia Hongsheng are used to it, so there is no surprise at the beginning. Not being convicted for words makes officials dare to express their views and opinions. It is a good atmosphere established by Li Laoer.

Finally, the government affairs of the imperial court were discussed. Xia Hongsheng's legs were also sore. As he was quietly moving his ankles, he heard Wang De's majestic voice above calling out his name, which did not match his eunuch status, and hurriedly stood out.

"I remember that it was about this time last year, and Lord Yan and a few other people wrote a book together, saying that in Luanzhou City, under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, there was a genius who was proficient in Gewu. The method of salt making was dedicated. In accordance with this law, I first tried the right defenders of Long, and it really worked! So by extension, now, my Datang has added countless salt fields, and there is no shortage of salt, even in the homes of ordinary people, there is no shortage of salt to eat. This is a great achievement, but before I could be rewarded, there was a letter from the old general Jiang Guogong Qu Tu. There are people in Los Angeles who are proficient in the art of offering horseshoe. It can make the war horse step on the sword and cross the gravel without destroying its hooves. I was amazed in my heart, and I personally ordered the guards in the palace to place the swords and soldiers on the ground, and the horses stepped on, without any damage, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed. It must be known that in every war, three out of four war horses are lost, and my Datang has lost countless loyal martyrs because of this. I was happy in my heart, and summoned Du Qing and others to share, only to know that the person who gave the method of horseshoe was the same person as the person who gave the method of making salt! Therefore, I remembered that he had this merit to help the world, so he was crowned as a man in Jingyang County. As for the improvement of the saber, and the training of the Tang Dynasty blade, with the strength of only 30 people to quell the rebellion of the Tan Dian tribes in South Vietnam, I promoted him to the position of the right Yu Lin Wei Zhichong Du Lieutenant, specializing in Shuo Fang's affairs. ”

"Your Majesty is a holy king who is enlightened and holy, who obeys advice like a stream, and who loves the people. can share the worries of His Majesty and seek benefits for the people, and he does what he wants, and he does not dare to worry about himself. Thank you, Your Majesty! Xia Hongsheng bowed down and saluted.

Li Shimin raised his hand, and then continued: "Then Xia Qing made a lot of contributions, and I know it in my heart. Not to mention the side, just talk about the movable type printing technique, so that all the scholars in the world have books to read, which is the eternal merit that can be famous. Since the beginning of this year, the time has come to recover Shuofang, Xia Qing went to Xiazhou alone, without swords, without blood, my army has not moved, Xia Qing has recovered Shuofang without a single soldier, and has made immortal miraculous achievements. Assassinated halfway, kidnapped by gangsters, but still loyal to the court, although in prison, but still able to share my worries, found a way to exterminate locusts, and saved hundreds of people. That's another great achievement! If I don't reward all the rewards, then I am not, and I am afraid that the ministers will say that I am stingy and do not reward the heroes. Xia Qing, do you have any wishes, say it, I will definitely be satisfied with you. ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed deeply and saluted, and said loudly: "If a soldier dies for a confidant, Your Majesty treats me with sincerity, and I should return it to Your Majesty with sincerity." Chenben Luanzhou city in a cold door cloth, no satiety, no warm sleep at night, thanks to His Majesty's wisdom like a torch, with holy grace, entrusted with trust, the minister can not thank His Majesty for his grace, where dare to covet what reward. ”

"Xia Qing is too modest." Li Shimin sat on the throne, smiled, glanced at the two columns of civil and military forces below, and then looked at Wang De: "Wang De, proclaim!" ”

Wang De bowed and saluted, then took out the holy decree, took a few steps forward, and read it out loud: "Right Yu Lin Wei folded and rushed to the captain, Jingyang County male Xia Hongsheng character Jingshi, the talent of the sky, adhering to the good and the young, young and ......"

Xia Hongsheng listened carefully below, and as usual, he began with a round of praise, a long paragraph, and only at the end did he say the reward: "...... Jue was promoted to the third class, specially entered the Marquis of Jingyang County, served thousands of households, added four products to advise the doctor, the prince served, gave a thousand horses of silk, and a hundred taels of gold......"

There are a lot of rewards, Xia Hongsheng is not clear behind him, because there was an uproar above the court, too, a one-time knight was promoted to the third class, and he jumped directly from the ninth-class founding county man to the sixth-class founding county marquis, which is indeed very surprising, and even Xia Hongsheng himself was taken aback.

It was easy to wait for Wang De to finish reading out, Xia Hongsheng immediately bowed down and saluted, and shouted loudly: "The ministers are panicking, the recovery of Shuofang is due to the hard work of Liu Min and Liu Lan in Xiazhou, the two generals Liang Luoren and Li Zhengbao who are well aware of the righteousness, and those spies and special combat personnel on the front line who go deep behind enemy lines and work hard to succeed." How can the minister be virtuous, dare not monopolize his merits, please Your Majesty Mingjian! ”

"Your Majesty, although Xia Duwei has made great achievements, he is fourteen years old, and his heart is undecided, so he is not enough to serve ......," Zhu Suiliang stepped out and said to Li Shimin. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say much." Li Shimin glanced at Zhu Suiliang and said lightly: "Xia Qing has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and each one taken out separately is a credit worthy of this reward." If it weren't for Xia Qing's youth, I would still feel that the reward was light. ”

Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, Chu Suiliang also wisely stopped talking and retreated into the queue.

"Since all the ministers have nothing to do, then let's retreat!" Li Shimin stood up from the throne and suddenly said: "Swing, I want to go out of the palace to observe the disaster, and I will accompany you with more than three grades, everything is simple, and we will start immediately!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were stunned again, looking at the bigwigs above the third grade, but their faces were expressionless, it seemed that Li Shimin had informed them in advance.

In addition to the officials above the third grade, some other officials were also ordered to follow, and Li Shimin's sudden attack made many people unable to react.

In fact, it had been prepared for a long time, and not long after the retreat, the team that observed the disaster had already set off in a mighty way.

There were more than 100 people, most of whom were naturally guards, and the emperor's Luan drove from Zhuque Street, out of Chang'an, and ran to the direction of Jingyang.

This is the strategy proposed by Xia Hongsheng, and Xia Hongsheng naturally has to follow.

Riding on a horse, he came out of Chang'an far away, Xia Hongsheng's heart was still beautiful, and even looking at the surrounding scenery, it seemed to be much more beautiful, only to feel that the sun was dazzling and the sky was blue.

The Marquis of Jingyang County, oops, the Marquis is sealed!

Back then, thousands of miles were looking for the marquis, and the horses were ...... Ah no, Shuxia Prefecture ahahaha! ……

Xia Hongsheng was swaying on his horse, and suddenly there was a voice that made Xia Hongsheng's hair explode: "Master Hou! Hum hum hum ......"

Xia Hongsheng turned his head curtly, and immediately changed to a flattering smile: "Uh, Cheng, the little nephew meets Uncle Cheng......"

"Don't dare, where can Lao Cheng be Xiahou's uncle, he didn't even say hello after coming back for so many days!" Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly and said with a cruel smile.

"Well, Uncle Cheng forgives me, the little nephew really didn't mean not to visit your uncles, it's really ...... The little nephew was almost pierced in the heart, and his life was almost lost, and he was better at home to the present, and he wanted to go over to visit your uncles, and thank you for the uncles who went to teach the three hundred sergeants when the little nephew was not in Chang'an, but who knew that today he was brought out by His Majesty...... Please also ask Uncle Cheng to forgive your sins! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

"Humph!" Cheng Lao Fairy's nostrils can reach the sky: "Look at what your little doll said pitifully, this general will not remember the villain." Well, to be honest, did you instigate today's incident?! ”

"Huh? What's going on today?! Xia Hongsheng was stunned.

"Fart! What kind of confusion is it for Lao Cheng! Cheng Biting Jin glared: "Naturally, it is the matter of His Majesty leaving the palace!" What kind of conspiracy are you kid playing again?! ”

"Uncle Cheng really wronged the little nephew, and the little nephew didn't know that His Majesty would suddenly leave the palace!" Xia Hongsheng decided not to confess: "I was going to visit a few uncles today, but I brought it out again." ”

"Then your kid's proud ass is pouting in the sky?!" Cheng Biting Jin Chong Xia Hongsheng said: "Do you know what it means that a big husband is happy and angry? I think that when I stabbed the old Cheng Ma lance in front of the nose without even blinking my eyes, you kid just sealed a county marquis, what are you proud of? ”

Belch...... Can this be connected?!

"Hey, stinky boy, don't be confused. For the sake of you, you are also considered a martial artist, and you have Lao Cheng's temper, and you are friendly with the two rabbit cubs who are silent and bright, Lao Cheng reminds you that now it is really a big tree, and if you should close it, you should close it away, don't be bent by the wind. Cheng Yanjin lowered his voice and said to Xia Hongsheng: "You are from a poor family......

Xia Hongsheng was stunned, and then it suddenly happened, it turned out that Cheng Yanjin saw that he had just gotten stuck, so he came over to remind himself.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be moved, and solemnly bowed to Cheng Yanjin on horseback: "Thank you Uncle Cheng for waking up, my little nephew understands!" (To be continued......)
