"Duke Ju, why are you here?" Li Xiu saw Tang Jian leading people to come, and he was also surprised to come forward to greet him.

"Haha~, I'm here to congratulate the prince-consort!" Tang Jian laughed loudly at this time, and pointed behind him while speaking. However, Li Xiu discovered that there was a convoy behind Tang Jian, and there were big boxes and small boxes piled up together. I don't know what was being pulled?

This is not a place to speak, Li Xiu hurriedly invited Tang Jian into the living room. After the tea was delivered, Tang Jian immediately took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and said, "Please look at the prince's consort, this is your Majesty's reward to you. I happened to be in the palace at that time, so I volunteered to deliver it to you!"

This time, when the Turks were destroyed and captured Jie Li alive, all the generals and officials involved made great contributions, and Li Xiu was no exception. So when he saw the imperial edict sent by Tang Jian, he immediately understood what was going on. He opened the imperial edict and looked at it. He found that although there were many rewards on the imperial edict, most of them were some property and land. For example, on the big cart outside, there were things that were rewarded to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was not surprised by these rewards. After all, at their level, the title had almost reached its peak, and Li Shimin could no longer be crowned kings, so the only things that could be rewarded were land and property, but one of the rewards was somewhat beyond Li Xiu's expectations.

"Lord of Le'an County? Your Majesty... Your Majesty actually appointed my daughter as the county lord?" Li Xiu couldn't help but shouted in surprise when he saw the reward of his daughter by the imperial edict. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin not only enthroned his son before, but this time his daughter was also named the county lord. You must know that this is the treatment of the prince's daughter.

"Haha~, Your Majesty was also worried about rewarding your contributions. After all, your title could not be improved, so I can only think from other aspects. When you left Chang'an, your wife was pregnant, and you could not even be by your wife when your daughter was born. So Your Majesty felt a little guilty towards you, so he rewarded Ling Ai with a county lord, which can be regarded as compensation from Your Majesty for you and Ling Ai!" Tang Jian also laughed at this time, and after saying that, he also showed an envious look on his face. I am afraid that only Li Xiu could have such treatment in the civil and military affairs of the court.

Li Xiu was also happy when he heard this. After all, as a parent, he naturally hopes to create better conditions for his children. Now that his daughter has just been born, she has already received the title of a county lord, which is something that no one can ask for.

Li Xiu didn't care about the property and land, but the title of his daughter was very much in line with his wishes. Tang Jian came to deliver the imperial edict in person. Li Xiu immediately asked someone to prepare a banquet to entertain the other party. Tang Jian laughed when he heard this. He had been using Li Xiu's meals a lot before, and at that time, the food must have a worse taste because of insufficient ingredients. Now when he returned to Chang'an, he had long wanted to come to Li Xiu's house to taste the real delicious food.

"Duke Ju, you have made great contributions to being able to capture Jie Li alive this time. I wonder what rewards Your Majesty will give you?" At the banquet, Li Xiu asked curiously. Although Tang Jian was cheated by Li Jing, his contribution was real, and he suffered such a great grievance. Li Shimin must also compensate him well.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that Your Majesty intends to let me serve as the Minister of Revenue, but you also know my character. I'm afraid even if I become the Minister of Revenue, I'll be dismissed in a short time!" Tang Jian laughed freely and said at this time. For others, the Minister of Revenue is a position that he can't get, but for him, it's a big and small burden.

"Since Duke of Ju has no intention of career, he simply resigned from the beginning to avoid causing trouble for himself!" Li Xiu couldn't help but persuade him when he heard Tang Jian's words. Tang Jian's temperament was very similar to him and he didn't care about official positions at all. He was also a person who was addicted to alcohol. Maybe he would miss the trouble because of drinking. In the future, Tang Jian seemed to be demoted because of this reason, so it would be better to refuse now.

"It's okay. Although I don't like being an official, I don't like being idle, so if Your Majesty really asks me to be the Minister of Revenue, I won't refuse. If I really can't do it, at worst I will be demoted in the future. Anyway, no one will die!" Tang Jian said indifferently when he heard Li Xiu's words.

He didn't say that Li Xiu almost forgot that Tang Jian was rewarded by Li Shimin with "avoiding death once", which is the "die-free gold medal" in later folk legends. In other words, as long as Tang Jian does not rebel, he doesn't have to worry about his life no matter what he does. Of course, there are many people in history who have won't die, but most of them have no good ending. In comparison, Tang Jian was able to get a good end, which is much better than other people.

Seeing Tang Jian, he had already thought it through, and Li Xiu did not persuade him again. He now used tea instead of wine to persuade him to drink. Tang Jian was originally an alcoholic, and the wine at Li Xiu's house was also quite good. In fact, with the increase in grain production in recent years, Li Xiu also secretly built a distiller at home and usually produced some distilled liquor, mainly for friends like Ma Ye and Qin Qiong to drink it privately. The taste was no worse than Li Shimin's imperial wine, so Tang Jian also had one cup after another, and finally returned drunk.

After sending the drunk Tang Jian into the carriage and left, Li Xiu immediately returned to the inner house with the imperial edict, intending to let the lady Yi look at her daughter's title, but unexpectedly, Qi Niang and Hen'er were here, accompanying the lady Yi to tease the little guy with great courage and was not afraid of strangers at all. Everyone would laugh at her, and it was particularly likeable.

"Brother, have you figured out my niece's name?" Seeing Li Xiu come in, Qi Niang immediately shouted loudly. She had been impatient for a long time. After all, she was playing with her niece every day, but she couldn't even call her name, which was really inconvenient.

"It's so fast, but don't worry about the name, my daughter's title is here!" Li Xiu smiled and raised the imperial edict in his hand.

"Cancel? What's the ban?" Yi Niang couldn't help but ask in surprise when she heard Li Xiu's words.

"It's this, you can see it yourself!" Li Xiu handed the imperial edict to the wardrobe's hand and said.

Seeing Li Xiu's happy look, Yi Niang became even more surprised. She opened the imperial edict, but when she saw that her daughter was named the magistrate of Le'an County, she couldn't help but be so excited that she could not help but feel extremely excited, and even tears were almost shedding.

"Let's see!" Qi Niang saw the excited look of the lady in the air, and was very curious at the moment, so she came with Hener to look at the imperial edict, and finally said excitedly, "Mr. Le'an County Magistrate! I didn't expect that my niece would become the county lord at such a young age!"

When Li Xiu heard Qi Niang's words, he had an idea and suddenly thought of a good name for himself.r
