I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

If Li Shimin didn't ask, Yang Zuan would definitely take all the credit for himself, and would just slip some soup from his fingers for Zhou Xiaosan to drink, and it would be a shame to throw him a shred of meat.

But Li Shimin did not dare to take credit for asking this question.

Li Shimin is not such an easy-to-fool emperor, if someone told him that there is one egg in ten, he would definitely not refuse to eat eggs, but would chop off the head of the person who said such absurd words.

Especially when Li Shimin uttered the words "Na" and "K".

Yang Zuan was stunned, his intuition told him that Li Shimin might know more about this case than he did.

"It was Zhou Xiaosan, a bad guy from Chang'an County, who solved the case in two days." Yang Zuan replied honestly.

Li Shimin nodded and smiled slightly: "You are quite honest."

"You failed to investigate the case the first time, and the crime of non-rebellion was not found. I should have punished you, but because you have done a good job in the second investigation, and the merits and demerits are offset, I will not punish you. But I won't reward you either."

Yang Zuan should come down here.

To him, being able not to be punished is already excellent news.

Li Shimin turned around and said: "That bad Zhou Xiaosan is a capable person, I want to reward him."

"He has done a good job in investigating the case and is powerful in solving the case."

Yang Zuan's heart trembled, he raised his head and looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

There are also clear regulations on rewards in the etiquette law. Generally speaking, they are divided into merit rewards, merit rewards, virtue rewards, joy rewards, and tribute rewards.

This reward is for military merit.Merit rewards are political achievements.Virtue rewards are given to those who have outstanding moral character.Tribute rewards are rewards to the vassal states that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

The least important and lowest level here is the reward, as long as the emperor is happy, he can reward something.

For example, Li Shimin went out very happily today, and when he came out, he met a beautiful court lady, so he rewarded her with a hundred coins.This reward can be whatever you want.

No one will take this kind of reward in their hearts.

After all, when Li Shimin returns to the East Palace, he might forget about this maid.

But saying those eight words together with the reward means something extraordinary.

This meant that Li Shimin's reward to Zhou Xiaosan was not a reward for joy, and judging from the nature of this matter, the reward this time should be a reward for merit.

Merit rewards should be the first, merit rewards should be the second.

The imperial decree and documents will be properly prepared, and the matter will be recorded in the history books, although it is only a sentence, "In the seventh year of Zhenguan, His Majesty gave the bad guy Zhou Xiaosan so-and-so."

Most importantly, this means that Zhou Xiaosan will be remembered by Li Shimin, and has a layer of emperor's relationship.

Li Shimin paused, as if he was thinking about what to reward, and he continued after a long time: "One coat, five pieces of cloth, ten pieces of money, and one good horse."

Yang Zhuan quickly responded: "I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the bad guy Zhou Xiaosan."

It seems a bit excessive to reward such a bad person for breaking the case, but Yang Zuan can understand it.

The temptress Yuan's spreading rumors was the most serious crime among the ten evils in the Tang Dynasty, and it was a crime of the same level as treason in the Tang Dynasty.Since His Majesty ascended the throne, these rumors have troubled him the most.

It happens every year, repeatedly.

Your Majesty's reward is also to express his mentality.

Li Shimin was humming a ditty while he was writing the document.

Part of the reason why he rewarded Zhou Xiaosan in this way was what Yang Zuan thought, but more of it was to show Yin Xuan.He didn't know why Yin Xuan didn't want to be an official in the court, and he still hasn't figured it out yet.

Perhaps it was out of dislike for Datang.

So he wants to pass this matter and show it to Yin Xuan.You see, Datang rewards those who have meritorious deeds very generously. Even if it is just a bad person, as long as he is willing to do things, he will definitely get the reward he deserves.

He didn't believe it anymore, this kind of thing of buying bones with thousands of dollars can't influence a person!

Wait for the next day.

Zhou Xiaosan yawned and went to the county government office.

Yang Zuan pulled Zhou Xiaosan, spun it back and forth, and looked at him carefully.

His face is ordinary, the heavens are not full, his ears are not protruding, his nose is a bit flat, and his chin is pointed. No matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a lucky person.

"My lord, this is you." Zhou Xiaosan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him for a while.

Yang Zuan waved his hand and said softly, "From today onwards, you will be my bad guy in Chang'an County."

Bad handsome?
Zhou Xiaosan was taken aback, and looked at Yang Zuan in surprise.

Although the bad commander is the same as the bad person, he is still just an official, but the gap is still quite large. The bad commander commands all the bad people in Chang'an County.

Except for not having an official name, it is not much different from a serious official.

Just one case made me so successful?

Yang Zuan continued: "In addition, His Majesty values ​​you very much, and within a few days, you will be rewarded with a brocade suit, five pieces of cloth, ten pieces of money, and one good horse."

Zhou Xiaosan opened his mouth wide, and the look of surprise in his eyes became more and more intense.

The emperor of Tang Dynasty actually rewarded himself?
He didn't think about it, nor did he think about it, but raised his hand and bowed to Yang Zuan: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for speaking kindly in front of His Majesty, Mr. Yang."

He is not stunned, even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty rewarded him and took a fancy to him, he is still a bad handsome man, and he is still working under Yang Zuan.

He can't really regard himself as a nobleman in front of the emperor, he should please Yang Zuan or Yang Zuan.

Yang Zuan smiled slightly, feeling a lot more comfortable: "You're a smart guy, that's all right, I didn't give you good words for you, Your Majesty is kind enough to know everything."

"You have to be loyal and do things for me, Datang."

Zhou Xiaosan responded with a snort.

Yang Zuan pulled him to talk about some household chores, asked him if he was married, and then let Zhou Xiaosan go.

Until he walked out of the Chang'an county government office, Zhou Xiaosan was still a little dizzy, feeling unreal for a while.

He was a little more impressed with Yin Xuan in his heart.

Look, Yin Xuan told them just two days ago that as long as he is willing to do things and be responsible, he will definitely be valued by the nobles, and then he will rise to the top.

Now it's really a prophecy, he has done this matter well, not only being favored by the nobleman, but also the most expensive nobleman in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Zhou Xiaosan didn't value brocade clothes, money, and good horses very much, and they couldn't be exchanged for copper coins.

But those five bolts of cloth can really be exchanged for money.

The price of a bolt of cloth is even higher than that of cooked silk, and these five bolts can be worth ten guan at least.

I have the money to redeem Jiu'er from Jiaoshifang.

In the future, there will be money to settle Jiu'er.

It's just a pity that Tongfu Restaurant's Qiongye Yuye was sold out, otherwise I would have been able to drink a few more sips.

Zhou Xiaosan walked towards Fangmen, stopped in front of Fangdaomen, hesitated for a while, still did not go to Pingkangfang, but walked to Huaizhenfang.
