Yi Shu Jingzhu glanced at Zhang Rulian again and asked, "What are you laughing at in my sister?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Rulian stopped laughing, but couldn't help laughing.

Yi Shu Jingzhu seemed to remember something, and her big eyes turned: "By the way, how should Jingzhu call her sister in the future?"

"Just call me sister." Zhang Rulian said hurriedly.

She didn't want Yi Shu Jingzhu to call her sister, sister Lian.

"Okay." Yi Shu Jingzhu nodded and smiled, "By the way, sister, what's your name?"

"Zhang Rulian." Zhang Rulian said with a smile.

Yi Shu Jingzhu nodded.

"Come!" Zhang Rulian looked at the door and raised her voice.

Then a maid walked in quickly and bowed and said, "What are the instructions for Madam?"

"From today on this, this sister will live in the mansion, so you can serve you well." Zhang Rulian said with a smile.

"Yes, madam!" the maid nodded.

"Take this sister to take a shower and change clothes first." Zhang Rulian continued.

"Yes, madam!"

The maid turned to Yi Shu Jingzhu and said, "Miss, please come with me!"

"My name is Yi Shu Jingzhu, I don't call me Xiao Madam." Yi Shu Jingzhu quickly explained.

After hearing this, Li Zaigu and Zhang Rulian looked at each other and smiled.

"Just call her sister Jingzhu." Li Zaigu said to the maid with a smile.

"Yes, general!" the maid bowed.

"Sister Jingzhu, come with me!" The maid said to Yi Shu Jingzhu softly.

"Brother Gu, sister, Jingzhu goes to take a shower first." Yi Shu Jingzhu said to Li Zaigu and Zhang Rulian.

Li Zaigu said "yes".

Zhang Rulian nodded slightly.

After Yi Shu Jingzhu left, Zhang Rulian couldn't help but say, "Husband, can Jingzhu adapt to life in Chang'an? Judging from her appearance, she knows very little about the ethics of the Central Plains."

"Only Mrs. Lao can teach her well." Li Zaigu said with a smile.

"I have loved to dance sticks and guns for my wife since I was a child. When I grew up, I followed my father on the battlefield. I don't understand the etiquette of those ladies from a family." Zhang Rulian smiled helplessly.

"It's okay, teach her as much as you know." Li Zaigu smiled again, "Look, you both don't like to be restricted by ethics, and maybe there will be many common topics in the future."

"I hope." Zhang Rulian smiled faintly.

...

A few days later.

Li Er summoned various generals from attacking Jie Li's troops to reward him at the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Er changed into a bright yellow dragon robe, a crown on his head, and a solemn face. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this reward.

After performing the rituals of the king and the ministers, Li Er ordered Fang Xuanling to read out the rewards to all the meritorious soldiers on his behalf.

Fang Xuanling stepped out of the list, stood in front of all the civil officials and military generals, straightened his body, and began to reward him on behalf of the emperor.

"Li Jing, the general manager of the Dingxiang Road, heard from the seal!" Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Jing and said loudly.

Li Jing took two steps forward and bowed to listen to the seal.

Fang Xuanling opened the edict solemnly: "I'm the commander of the army: In the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, the general commander of the Dingxiang Road, commanded a hundred thousand troops to go to war, conquered the Japanese to attack Dingxiang, broke the Baidao, seized the iron mountain, pacified the southern part of the desert, killed more than 20,000 enemies, captured more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, seized hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and was the first meritorious service to the expedition. Li Jing's left Guanglu official was specially granted a thousand pieces of silk, and added fiefdoms together with the previous five hundred households!"

"My minister Li Jing, thank you for your kindness! My emperor is blessed!" Li Jing bowed respectfully to Li Er and said.

Although Li Jing called the Holy Grace, he felt a little disappointed.

Such merits were lower than what Li Jing had imagined before. Li Jing originally thought that after returning to the court, the emperor would definitely worship him as prime minister and his fiefdom would exceed 1,000.

The reason why Li Er's reward did not meet Li Jing's requirements was mainly because the censor Xiao Yu impeached Li Jing for his failure to manage the army. When he attacked Jie Li Khan's tent, some precious cultural relics were looted by soldiers and requested the judicial department to review it.

Li Jing already knew about being impeached by Xiao Yu, so there was nothing to say about him when he received such a reward.

However, not long after Li Er found out the truth and knew that it was Xiao Yu's slander, so he gave Li Jing two thousand pieces of silk and promoted him to the Shangshu Youpushe.

Li Jing finally fulfilled his ambition to become a general and a prime minister through the battle of attacking Jie Li, and became Li Er's loyal minister, which was extremely honorable and favored.

Fang Xuanling then rewarded Li Zaigu: "Although General Mingwei Li Zaigu was the supervisor of Dingxiang Road, he was able to lead the army and be brave the three armies. He first attacked Dingxiang with General Li and Deputy General Su, and then helped Tongmodao march to break Baidao. In the battle of Tieshan, he cooperated inside and outside to help the army seize Tieshan. He captured Jie Li Khan on the way westward. He was very rewarding! He was especially promoted to General Zhongwu and served as the post of Zhechong Commander of Shangfu. The founding prince of the country was awarded 500 pieces of silk and 200 fiefs!"

"My dear Li Zaigu thanks the Lord for his kindness! May my emperor be blessed!" Li Zaigu looked happy and bowed.

Li Zaigu was of course happy. Not only did he go up to the third level in a row, but he also obtained a lord and a fief. He could get such honors at a young age, and was rare in the Tang Dynasty.

The main reason why he received such an honor was that he captured Jie Li.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of military troops. The military government was called the Zhechong Prefecture, and the commander was the commander of the Zhechong Prefecture. The fourth rank of the upper rank of the upper rank of the upper rank of the upper rank of the upper rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the lower rank of the army. Every winter, the troops were led to the training and guard the capital in turn according to regulations. If there is any matter to be recruited, the troops would set off.

In other words, from now on, Li Zaigu has already gained a certain amount of military power.

Fang Xuanling continued to reward other soldiers and related recorders and military officials to discuss their merits.

Those who make contributions will receive rewards; those who make mistakes will receive punishment.

As long as ordinary soldiers participate in the battle against Jie Li's troops, their families will be exempted from one year of taxes. As for the soldiers who died in battle, the court will pay pensions and exempt from three years of corvee taxes.

After the reward was completed, Empress Li Erxuan and Xiao and Yang Zhengdao entered the palace.

"Mean Xiao, please see Your Majesty!" Empress Xiao bowed.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

However, Empress Xiao maintained a dignified manner and remained unabashed as a royal family.

"Sinner Yang Zhengdao, please see Your Majesty!" Yang Zhengdao bowed carefully and said.

Li Er glanced at Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't give me a gift, give me a seat!"

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao bowed.

Li Er signaled Changsun Wuji to read out the edict of disposal to Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao.

Changsun Wuji stood in front of the ministers, opened the edict, and read out the disposal of Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao.

Empress Xiao was given a house in Xingdao, allowing her to enjoy her old age.

Yang Zhengdao was appointed as the Minister of the Yuanwai Sanqi. In fact, it was a false position and had no real power.

The reason why Li Er treated their grandparents and grandchildren was mainly to stabilize the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, and to win over the people's hearts and the Xiao family.

"Xuan Ashinaduo enters the palace!"

After dealing with the matter between Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, Li Er ordered the eunuch Xuan Jieli to enter the palace.

Jie Li was no longer a Khan at this time, so he naturally called him his name.
Chapter completed!
