Li Shimin showed a look of praise and said, "Mr. Mao said that you are pure and good-natured, but I still don't believe it. Now when you see it, it's true. But you don't have to be too humble. If you have merit, you have to reward it. Let me tell you, how should you reward this merit?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Li Mu reported the message in time, which is enough to reverse the situation of the war. If you talk about rewards, in my opinion, you will be granted a baron, rewarded tens of thousands of gold, and granted twenty hectares of land."

"Okay! As you said, Li Mu, a man from the founding county, rewarded tens of thousands of gold, and selected fertile land east of the Ba River to measure twenty hectares."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Mu complained in his heart. This little plan was not done, so why did he be named the baron? My marquis was gone like this? He comforted him that he also rewarded the 'ten thousand gold' and the fields. Oh, that's all, it's good. Although he had many thoughts in his heart, he was full of gratitude on his face. When Li Shimin saw it, he felt even more satisfied and continued, "I ask you again, three cups, but what you brewed?"

Also? Li Mu was happy and quickly replied: "Report to Your Majesty, Caomin's father-in-law's ancestors have passed down to brew wine, Caomin also knows a little bit. When he was captured in the Turkic camp, Caomin was arranged to be a cook and had seen Turkic people brew three pulp juice. The brewing method of pouring three cups was tested by Caomin combining two brewing methods. Its specific process is first..."

Li Mu made a gesture to tell the brewing method, but how could he really tell it? It was just to gain a real impression. Sure enough, as soon as he was about to say it, he was interrupted by Li Shimin: "I am not asking you about the secret method, so there is no need to say these. Also, you already have a title and can no longer call yourself a grass-roots person."

"I... I understand."

"That day I recruited wine-making people to Chang'an. You had already set off, why did you return? Why did you stay alone?" Li Shimin looked at Li Mu with a bright look, and asked in a louder voice, "But for the purpose of preaching the jade seal?"

Li Mu hurriedly replied, "Report to Your Majesty, I will leave at that time because Li Siwen told me that his Majesty ordered the brewer to name the winemaker to serve the Supreme Emperor. In addition, he discovered that Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao were about to be sent to Chang'an, so he set off together. On the way, I heard that Dingxiang City was in trouble, and I and Li Siwen were in a similar mood, like brothers. I had no idea at that time, but I just thought that I could not leave like this. It would be fine if I didn't know, since I knew it.

, I must face it together. Moreover, at that time, I temporarily took over the position of Dingxiang County Magistrate and participated in the recruitment of refugees. Many promises were guaranteed by Li Siwen to the refugees. I have also said before that the people in the border town suffered from the plunder of the Turks. Like these refugees, I am all the people in the border town, but I have not become refugees by chance. Therefore, I can understand their feelings. If I ask why I returned, I think about it now, probably because of the two reasons of loyalty and responsibility."

"As for why I stayed alone, I can admit it calmly, it was indeed for the purpose of the imperial seal. The reason was that when the city confronted me, Princess Yicheng once said that she came to Dingxiang City for two people and one thing. I guess that these two people must be Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, and the thing that could mobilize her so much is definitely not an ordinary thing, and it is very likely to be the imperial seal. At that time, I thought that if I left together, the imperial seal would be difficult to recover when I came to Princess Yicheng. If it was lost, I would be really ashamed of Your Majesty and the country, so I chose to stay. But I was not greedy for me to stay alone. At that time, I had already left in Dingxiang City.

The enemy invaders flocked in front of him, and they were full of dangers. If there were many people, they were also very powerful, and their role was not obvious. I was not easy to be discovered by myself. Moreover, I knew I was defeated and did not want to seize the imperial seal. I just wanted to see if Princess Yicheng could find the imperial seal. If she found it, where would she take it and wait for reinforcements to chase it. It was purely accidental to get it. After entering the city, the enemy discovered Jie Li's treasure house and fought for money and property, causing Princess Yicheng to be alone. I took advantage of her unpreparedness and jumped off the roof and attacked her. Only after she succeeded in one blow, I got the imperial seal. It was also caused by the great blessing of the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty. I dare not speak out for the merits."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I am meticulous, brave and resourceful, and I speak so cautiously. I am really a young talent. I heard that you have become a sworn brother with Li Siwen. Is it true that the family is not in the family, and it is quite as charming as your adoptive father."

Li Ji said, "Your Majesty, I..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Fang Xuanling again, saying, "I will not discuss the merit of regaining the imperial seal, but only discuss the merit of defending the city. What should Li Mu reward him if Fang Prime Minister?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty was vicious and ignorant of the safety of the people in the morning. He repeatedly provoked the battle between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. He was actually a traitor. Li Mu made great contributions to defend the city, saved the lives of the people, and killed the traitors. These three merits were combined. According to my opinion, Viscount Li Mu could be specially promoted, rewarded 100,000 gold, 50 hectares of fertile land, and added his mother's seventh-rank imperial edict."

Li Shimin looked around and said, "Do you guys have any objections?"

Changsun Wuji and Li Ji said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Li Mu has granted the founding county of Li Mu, and rewarded 100,000 gold. He selected fertile land east of the Ba River to measure another fifty hectares, and added his mother's seventh-rank imperial edict."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Li Mu quickly bowed down. He had heard Li Siwen say that Li Shimin was not stingy with rewards. He thought it was fake just now, but now he realized it was true. Not to mention the title, the golden cakes are all worth ten thousand, or 100,000 yuan. No wonder Li Siwen said that his treasury is empty. Can such a reward not be empty?

"As for the reward for retrieving the merits of the Kingdom of Jade Seal..." Li Shimin looked at the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and said, "Father, you once told all directions about the matter of the Imperial Jade Seal in the past. You should make the decision on the reward for this merit."

Li Yuan nodded, suddenly sighed, and said, "How many dangers in the past are, and to this day, I still remember them vividly. Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, Xiao Xian...are they not heroes? How many times, the Tang Dynasty was defeated by my father and son because of their despair. In the end, they were defeated by my father and son. The difficulty of establishing a country was clear in the hearts of all the ministers. In this world, the people pacified the Turks and welcomed the jade seal of the country, which is enough to prove that the Li family in Longxi was the destiny of heaven!"

Li Shimin quickly flattered and said, "What the Father said is very true! The father established his country and started a business, and his son had little achievements, and he was not worthy of praise. Now the Tang Dynasty has returned to his heart and has also welcomed the jade seal of the country, all of which are your merits. Under your earnest teachings, my son has barely learned one or two of your skills and worked hard to do it, so that he has not let down your hard work. Without your will, his son would definitely not be able to destroy the Turks and revenge. This is all your merits."

Li Yuan smiled slightly. He was not confused and could not hear the compliment in this word. Seeing that his son had become an emperor and was so cautious, it was indeed not easy. The resentment accumulated in his heart for many years was reduced a little. He continued: "The Sui Dynasty lost its deer and the world chased it. Isn't this imperial seal the target of the competition among the heroes in the world like this 'deer'? I said back then that those who find the imperial seal shall be granted the title of marquis regardless of their origin. Today, Li Mu found the imperial seal and made many contributions. I cannot go back on his word. In this way, I will use the word 'deer' to sign him a marquis. What do you think?"

"Very good!" Li Shimin immediately said: "Li Mu, the Supreme Emperor has appointed you as Zhulu Marquis, aren't you thanking me?"

"Thank you the Emperor, thank you His Majesty for your kindness!"

"Wait!" Li Yuan suddenly spoke again, and Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Father, do you want to reward again?"
