A day later, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came and made shy faces at Ye Haoran!

"Imperial Order: General Ye Haoran, the Loyal and Brave, and his subordinates are here to see you!"

He accepted the imperial edict, endured the chill, and sent the eunuch who delivered the eunuch away!

Fang Qing came over with a smile: "Oh, Brother Ye is so charming, he can attract both men and women, and even those who are neither men nor women!"

Li Xiuning covered her mouth and laughed while joking: "General Ye, Eunuch Liu is a favorite of His Majesty, why don't you consider following him? Hahaha!"

Jin Lingwei stared with wide eyes, bewildered: "Sister Fang Qing, Sister Xiu Ning, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Hahaha! The two women laughed even harder!

Ye Haoran was too lazy to pay attention to them! He covered his ears and walked into the military tent!

After changing clothes and washing up, he led everyone into Dingzhou City!

When they arrived at the General Manager's Mansion, the guard at the door went in to report! After a while, he came back and asked them to take off their weapons and enter the government office!

"General Zhongyong has arrived!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Ye Haoran knelt on one knee and saluted!

Everyone saluted!

Li Shimin raised his hand:

"My dear, please don't be polite. Stand up!"

"Since everyone is here, I will reward you according to your merits!"

Eunuch Liu next to him took out the imperial edict:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: All the generals who have fought against Goguryeo have made great contributions and have been rewarded!

Li Jing, Duke of Weiguo, was posthumously awarded the title of Si Tu and Governor of Bingzhou, and was given the posthumous title of "Jingwu". He was buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum.

The deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army, Qing Xuan, was posthumously conferred the title of Zheji Duwei and awarded ten thousand taels of gold!

Qin Huaiyu was posthumously awarded the title of Light Cavalry Commander and given the posthumous title "Xianyong" and ten thousand taels of gold!

The Duke of Ying, Li Ji, was appointed as the Grand Commandant and the Grand Commander of Yangzhou! A thousand taels of gold!

Ye Haoran was given the title of General of the Nation, General of the Lingzhou State, and a thousand taels of gold.

Afterwards, Niu Fangda, Shitou, Li Xiuning and others were all rewarded!

Civil officials such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also received some rewards, but they were far less than the military generals!

The reward is completed!

Li Shimin looked tired!

"My dear ministers, please leave! Lord Ye, please come to the back garden!" Then he stood up and left!

In the back garden, Li Shimin sat in the pavilion, with a monk and a Taoist priest standing on his left and right! Li Zhi sat next to Li Shimin!

"I wonder what your majesty has ordered me to do?"

"Qing Ye, sit down and talk!"

Ye Haoran walked up to the pavilion carefully and sat on the stone pier!

Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhi beside him!

Looks gloomy!

"Does the emperor have anything to say?"

Li Zhi hurriedly stood up and knelt in front of Li Shimin:

"Father, I know I was wrong! I didn't mobilize the troops to protect you in time, I deserve death!"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was extremely anxious when he appointed me to go to Liaodong to protect him. He must have encountered some special circumstances afterwards! That's why there was a delay!" Ye Haoran hurried to rescue Li Zhi!

"Oh? Were you sent to Liaodong by the emperor?"

"That's right, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin's expression eased slightly!

"My son, you were also assassinated by the Khitan State Master Yelu Wuji. Are you feeling better now?"

"Your Majesty, I'm fine now!" Li Zhi knelt on the ground, as obedient as a baby!

"Well! You can leave now! Have a good rest. Taoist Shangqing will trouble you to protect the emperor!"

"Wulian Tianzun, Your Majesty, don't worry! I will take good care of Your Highness!" The Taoist behind Li Shimin responded!

Li Zhi took the Shangqing Taoist priest away!

Li Shimin turned and looked at Ye Haoran!

"My dear Lord Ye, come and taste my good wine!" He then poured him a glass with his own hands!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Haoran picked up the wine glass and drank it all!

"My dear, why did you help the emperor to deceive me?"

Cough cough cough! Ye Haoran was choked and coughed non-stop. His face froze, and then he was relieved:

"Your Majesty has no intention of blaming Your Highness. It doesn't matter whether I help or not!"

"Hahaha, Duke Weiguo said that you are as cunning as a fox, and it turns out to be true!" Li Shimin said with a smile!

Uh! "I'll just take it as your majesty praising me!" Ye Haoran touched his nose awkwardly!

He poured himself another glass of the imperial wine on the table. It would be a waste if he didn't drink the good wine!

"I summoned you here because I have a question to discuss with you!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"The war in Liaodong is over. Who do you think is more suitable to guard Yingzhou and resist Goguryeo?"

"Xue Li, Xue Rengui, Brother Xue is well-versed in the art of war and is both wise and brave. If you can guard Liaodong, you will be able to ensure that the northeast of the Tang Dynasty is worry-free!"

"Yes! I think so too, but Mr. Xue is still too young!"

"A man of ambition has no age limit, Your Majesty, you are worrying too much!"

"Well, okay! I'll listen to you!"

"Come here! Pass the decree! Appoint Xue Li and Xue Rengui as the Grand Marshals of Liaodong Army! Defend against the Liaodong countries!"

Ye Haoran stood up! He clasped his fists!

"Your Majesty, I have a small request, I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

"Please speak, Lord Ye!"

"I want to pay homage to the spirit tablet of Duke Weiguo!" Ye Haoran said dejectedly!

"Hahaha, my dear Li, your adopted son really misses you!" Li Shimin laughed heartily!

Ye Haoran was confused. What's so funny about this? He's just feeling sad! What adopted son?

"That's right. In the name of my adopted son, you have to do what an adopted son should do!" A calm voice sounded!

Li Jing walked out from the flowers with a smile on his face! He was wearing a gray Taoist robe and carrying a long sword!
