In the Imperial Palace and Taiji Hall, all the ministers sat down one after another after His Majesty's arrival. Luo Zhang glanced around and found that many people were looking at him. Luo Zhang just shrugged and didn't pay much attention to it. He called me brother too eye-catching. Well, it hasn't been long since he made great achievements again, it would be strange if he didn't make people jealous.
In the morning, Eunuch Huang read out the daily routine as always. After he finished speaking, the ministers came out one after another to talk about their duties.
Li Shimin would ask a few questions from time to time, praising him for his merits and encouraging him for his mistakes. Of course, he was talking about small mistakes here.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers could tell that His Majesty was in a good mood today. If it were in the past, people who made mistakes would never encourage him. It would be good if he didn't scold him.
Luo Zhang was sitting there like an ostrich, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. It made Li Shimin's teeth itch. It had been so long and Luo Zhang didn't get up. Do you want to ask him yourself?
In fact, Li Shimin misunderstood Luo Zhang. After drinking all night last night, he just slept for a while and then went to the morning court. Now he was in a daze and couldn't remember to start his own affairs.
Until Li Ji, who was standing aside, put his arm over Luo Zhang and said, "Boy, what did you do last night? Young people must know how to control themselves. If you did this just after you came back, will you do it again in the future?"
Obviously, Li Ji had misunderstood, thinking that Luo Zhang was acting up and depressed when he came back last night. This made Luo Zhang shake his head and smile bitterly after hearing Li Ji's words, and he also sobered up a lot.
Looking up and seeing Li Shimin's murderous eyes, Luo Zhang remembered that he wanted to report his trip to the south today.
Immediately he did not dare to neglect. After seeing the Minister of Household Affairs finishing the performance and taking his seat, Luo Zhang hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Seeing Luo Zhang leaving work, Li Shimin snorted softly and said: "Say!"
Luo Zhang coughed softly and said: "I was ordered to lead troops to the south to persuade Feng An to surrender. Not a single soldier was used. Feng An has promised to submit to the imperial court and will soon send his son to Chang'an as a hostage. However, Shu was originally besieged. The troops attacking Shuzhong have withdrawn, which has shown Feng An’s sincerity. This is a document signed by Feng An and his ministers. Please read it for your majesty!”
As he spoke, Luo Zhang took out the document signed with Feng Junhao that he had shown Li Shimin yesterday, and Eunuch Huang presented it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at it pretendingly, and then said: "You did a good job this time. You not only solved the dilemma in Shu, but also persuaded Feng Ang to surrender. It is a great achievement!"
"Eunuch Huang, read out the imperial edict!" Li Shimin pointed to the imperial edict in front of him and said.
Huang Eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to take the imperial edict, opened it and read out: "By God's decree, the emperor decreed that Luo Zhang would be rewarded for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, and he would be rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land, the East Pearl of the South China Sea...gold..."
Listening to the various rewards announced by Eunuch Huang, everyone in the hall was envious, jealous, and wanted to take Luo Zhang instead.
Luo Zhang also knew that His Majesty had no choice. His current title had reached that of County Duke. He was already considered a very popular minister. Moreover, he was still so young. It was not easy to get promoted to a higher rank, even if there were some If you want to promote him, you will be afraid of opposition from the ministers, so you can only give generous rewards.
Gold and silver treasures are nothing to today's Luo Zhang, but those ten thousand acres of fertile land are pretty good. With the reward of these ten thousand acres of fertile land, Luo Zhang will have an explanation when he returns home. All along, Luo Zhang's fiefdom has been It was his own choice and he didn't care at all about what grandma said.
In the eyes of the elderly, fields are used for farming. Only with fertile fields can the family prosper. However, Luo Zhang used the fertile fields that were rewarded to build hot springs, build docks, and even build a huge piece of land in Nanshan. He didn't know it. Whatever you do, you see people building walls all day long.
In the eyes of grandma, these are crooked ways and not doing the right job. Although he didn't say it, Luo Zhang knew it in his heart.
This time, with the reward of ten thousand acres of fertile land, Luo Zhang could just leave it to grandma and let her take charge of it. This would save her from nagging her all the time, and it would be considered as following grandma's wishes.
After the morning court ended, a group of generals came forward to congratulate Luo Zhang, and even some civil servants came to congratulate him. Of course, these were those with low official positions who wanted to hug Luo Zhang.
Luo Zhang did not reject anyone who came, and responded one after another. When people congratulate you, you naturally have to return the gift, and Luo Zhang's return gift is that Yan will come to meet you upstairs at noon today.
Naturally, this was praised by everyone, and they all said that Luo Zhang was righteous. A table in Yanlailou was not cheap. Even if it was Luo Zhang's own restaurant, it would still cost money. On weekdays, those petty officials could not go to Yanlailou. I only invite people to go there when something happens, and today I am in good luck.
Luo Zhang didn't bother them. The appointment was at noon. He still had a lot of things to do, so naturally he couldn't go to Yanlai Building and wait there.
After leaving the imperial city gate, Luo Zhang took Wu Shaobin and headed straight out of the city.
