After writing the memorial and handing it over to Yang Kai, he was finally able to lie down and rest. The previous thousand-mile raid had exhausted both the man and the horse to death, and he also suffered serious internal injuries. He fell asleep quickly after lying down.

I had a good night's sleep. Even if the Japanese pirates wanted to retaliate and rushed to Chang'an to kill them off guard, they would not be able to do so tonight because the Japanese pirates did not have a good horse.

Ordinary people have to sleep at least four hours a day, and three hours is enough for Qi practitioners, but this time I slept for five hours and didn't get up until noon.

Datou was sitting at the door of the east chamber basking in the sun. When he saw the door, he immediately ran into the house and took out a swaddle, "Sir, look at our eagle."

"That's your eagle," he said casually. "Besides, it's not a child. It's a long-haired thing, so it doesn't need to be wrapped up so tightly."

"Okay, okay, come on, take a look." Big Tou handed the swaddling clothes in front of him.

He stretched out his hand and snatched the young eagle out of its swaddling clothes. Although the young eagle was small, it knew how to peck people after being frightened.

"It's very good. His limbs are sound, his eyes are bright, there's nothing wrong with him." He looked at her carefully.

Seeing the casual rudeness, Datou hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up the young eagle, "Sir, look at this fur, it's as pure white as snow, how rare it is."

"You are really precious," he stretched, "its white hair now is just fetal hair. It will definitely fade when it grows up. It's not sure what color it will be when it grows up."

Datou wanted to ask for a few words of praise and listen to the words to prevent his excitement from waning. At this moment, Yang Kai came out from the west chamber, holding a brush for combing the hair in one hand and a wooden bucket for drinking horses in the other.

"Have you had nothing going on in the morning lately?" he asked casually.

"No, they are all daily trivial matters," Yang Kai said, "Qian Zhonglin has many disciples and some officials who are good friends with him. Qian Zhonglin was banned from his home by the emperor. They all interceded for him and hoped that the emperor would

Let him resume his official position. The emperor only said that he did not remove Qian Zhonglin from his official position, but he was considerate of his old age, frailty and injury, and let him rest at home for a while."

"The emperor is indeed considerate of him," he said coldly, "this old immortal thinks he is a loyal minister, talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but he does despicable things. Not only did he attack us, but he also killed many nuns in Shifang Nunnery.

I knocked out a few of his old teeth to show mercy, but if the emperor dares to let him out, I will still find trouble and beat him."

"Don't worry, sir, if we don't leave, the emperor will definitely not dare to let him out." After saying this, Da Tou carried the baby into the east chamber.

Yang Kai put the brush and barrel in the corner, turned around and said, "It is the autumn harvest season now, and the land tax from all over the country is being put into the treasury, and the money obtained from corruption is also being collected as soon as possible.

, the three provinces are in good order, and the six departments are in good order, but when you were away, the two assistant ministers in the household department were suspected of taking the lead and frequently doing things to take credit."

"What's expected is that they are not my people in the first place." After saying that, Datou rushed out of the east chamber and said, "Tell the cook to prepare something to eat."

Datou nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Stepping into the west wing, Yang Kai also followed.

At this time, there were four horses in the west compartment, including the big one and the little one. The two sweaty horses were accustomed to standing and had already stood up after resting for the night. Only the black master was still lying lazily in the haystack. The pony was still there at this time.

Weaning was not complete, but the mare's milk supply was running low. When the foal went to breastfeed, the mare resisted.

"The foal grows very fast," he turned to look at Yang Kai, "how long do you think it will be before it can carry people?"

Yang Kai thought for a while and replied, "It will take three months at the earliest."

"Well," nodded, "while we are still in Chang'an, we should feed them more refined food. Once we leave Chang'an, we won't have such convenient conditions."

Yang Kai nodded.

Seeing the wooden bed and bedding placed in the corner, he said, "As long as I'm here, you don't have to stay here day and night, and go back to the house to sleep at night. You have to go to court every day, and you can't smell like a stable."

"Okay." Yang Kai nodded again.

Just as the two were talking, Datou's voice came from outside, "Sir, Eunuch Zhou is here."

Hearing Dutou's shouting, he and Yang Kai left the west chamber and came to the courtyard. They happened to see Datou leading Eunuch Zhou from outside the courtyard. Eunuch Zhou ordered the two accompanying young eunuchs to wait outside the courtyard, and followed Datou alone into the courtyard.

.

Eunuch Zhou held a yellow silk scroll in his left hand. He recognized it as an imperial edict.

Eunuch Zhou and Ni Zhuo had a close personal relationship. After Ni Zhuo left, Eunuch Zhou also maintained a good relationship with Ni Zhuo and considered him one of his own.

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhou was all smiles, "Master Li, what a great happy event."

"Why did Eunuch Zhou say this?" he asked with a smile.

"The emperor read the memorial presented by Mr. Yang. He was very happy and applauded repeatedly. Therefore, he made an exception and gave generous rewards." Eunuch Zhou handed the imperial edict to him with both hands, "Master Li, we are not outsiders. You can read it yourself."

After receiving the imperial edict, he turned sideways and invited, "Please come in and serve tea, Eunuch Zhou."

"Tea is a must

If you want to drink, Mr. Li, you should read the imperial edict first." Eunuch Zhou smiled happily.

Seeing Eunuch Zhou's expression, I was very confused. He was now a first-class hussar general, and the so-called heavy reward was just another half-level upgrade to help him up. But judging from Eunuch Zhou's tone and demeanor, it seemed that there was more than enough.

Such a reward, and he couldn't think of anything else the emperor could reward him with.

Full of doubts, he unfolded the imperial edict and quickly read it. When he finished reading what was written in the imperial edict, he was stunned and stood there blankly.

Seeing him like this, Datou curiously took the imperial edict and recited it in a low voice, "Under my sect, General Li Zhong of the Hussars is in charge of the country. His righteousness is so great that he has eliminated the eunuchs to set the straight line for the government, suppressed the officials to calm the people, and enriched the treasury to strengthen the country."

"This is to exclude enemies in order to enhance the country's prestige. It is actually a role model for civil servants and a model for military generals. I specially made Li a heroic prince, hereditary and irreplaceable, to avoid death for nine generations, to comfort the loyal ministers and their sincerity, and to show the emperor's great kindness."

"My mother, be crowned king?!" Datou's eyes widened in shock.

"Become a king!" Eunuch Zhou was also very excited. "Being a minister is enough to honor the ancestors, but being a king is even better. The most rare thing is to be a prince instead of a county king, and it is hereditary.

"

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." Eunuch Zhou waved his sleeves and knelt on the ground, "Your prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Seeing that Da Tou and Yang Kai were about to kneel down, they came to their senses and hurriedly helped Eunuch Zhou up, then strictly ordered them not to kneel down, and then invited Eunuch Zhou inside to serve tea.

The incident happened suddenly, and he was a little confused. He never expected that the emperor would make him king. You must know that making a king and making an official are different. Officials are positions and can be replaced at any time. King is a title, which is not a heinous crime.

Cannot seize the title.

Seeing the shock, Eunuch Zhou wisely stood up and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, please come to your senses first, and then I will return to the palace to reply. I will come back to bother you another day."

Hearing Eunuch Zhou's words, he hurriedly calmed down. After pondering, he took out a stack of documents from the cabinet on the north side. After looking through it, he picked out a house deed, folded it and stuffed it into Eunuch Zhou's hand, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou."

When folding the house deed, Eunuch Zhou had already seen that it was a house deed. He knew how to be generous, but he did not expect to be so generous as to give him a house directly. He was shocked and frightened, and refused repeatedly.

His attitude was firm and he insisted on giving the gift, but Eunuch Zhou could not refuse, so he could only accept it fearfully, and then looked at Da Tou and Yang Kai who were standing at the door.

Upon seeing this, he knew that Eunuch Zhou wanted to have some private words with him, and before he could react, Da Tou pulled Yang Kai back to the door and closed the door behind his back.

Wait until the two of them leave

, Eunuch Zhou cautiously whispered, "Your Majesty, your servant was waiting on the side when the emperor read your memorial. After the emperor read your memorial, he first applauded, then looked solemn, silent for a long time, and then threw the memorial to you.

He asked General Liu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and asked coldly, 'Don't brag anymore. If he intends to rebel, can you stop him?'"

Without waiting for an answer, Eunuch Zhou whispered, "Your Majesty, I have been serving the Emperor these years and know a lot about His temperament. Although the Emperor has generously rewarded you, he is very wary of you and your four subordinates."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for reminding me." He nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. I will leave first. If there is any news, I will notify you immediately." Eunuch Zhou bowed and left.

After thanking you, I ordered Datou to send you off on your behalf.

Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming also came after hearing the news and were overjoyed to learn that they were crowned kings.

At this time, the cook brought the food over, and said nothing if there were outsiders present. When the cook left, the bulk returned, and the five of them sat down around the table.

He looked solemn, and the four of them didn't know what he was thinking, so they didn't rush to speak.

After a long silence, he said, "What do you think?"

"I think it is a good thing that the king is affectionate and the minister is righteous," Yu Yi said first after reading the imperial edict, "The Tang Dynasty was already in turmoil. It was you who turned the tide when it was falling, and supported the building when it was about to collapse. Now that the eunuchs have been eliminated, the officials are in charge.

On the Qingming Festival, the national treasury is full, and the Tang Dynasty has shown signs of rejuvenation. Your merits will last forever, and this prince can afford it."

He didn't answer, but looked up at Da Tou.

Seeing him look at him, Datou said, "I agree with Yu Yi, it is reasonable and reasonable to make you a prince."

Hearing Da Tou's words, he frowned slightly and turned to look at Yang Kai aside.

Yang Kai said in a deep voice, "The reward has only two uses. One is to praise the previous achievements, and the other is for the sake of the future. Although you have been given a national surname, you are not a relative of the emperor after all, and there are only a few Wang Duo with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty."

As the founding father of the country, my lord, although you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, you have no outstanding achievements at present. It seems a bit excessive to make you a prince, but making you a county prince is reasonable."

After nodding, he looked at Shi Xuanming.

Shi Xuanming was eating and didn't notice that he was looking at him. He didn't come back to his senses until Datou pushed him, "We may have scared the emperor. This time we killed more than 600 people with three people. If five of us went
Chapter completed!
