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

Although the "Qin" in the title does not have any special meaning, nor is it a particularly noble title.

But Datang's special situation lies here.

Maybe decades later, the title of Qin will be taken out and given to those brave men, but now... Li Shimin is not only still alive, he is also the emperor.

"Qin" was his title when he was young, so it naturally means something extraordinary.

What does it mean?
Everyone knows that you, Li Shimin, have a preference for Yin Xuan, but to such an extent, giving him this title...isn't it a bit too much.

Fang Xuanling was a little anxious.

This step is really a bit big, from three levels lower than his own status, now he is even higher than his own.

It's exaggerated, he really thinks it's a bit exaggerated.

Li Shimin's idea is actually very simple.

After talking with Yin Xuan that day, he discovered the most critical problem - the things Yin Xuan got were not given to him by the court.

Well, this is nonsense, in fact Li Shimin thought of the opposite of this sentence, since it was not given to him by the court, who gave him these things and fame?

The answer is obvious.

It is the people, and what Yin Xuan gains is the hearts of the people.

People have jobs to make money, people have better meals and clothes, so that they can have entertainment in their lives-such people are hard to be unpopular.

It is very difficult to overthrow a person with the hearts of the people, and even if he is really overthrown, he will not be able to escape an ending that will be infamous for thousands of years.

Instead of not believing him, the two of them were suspicious of each other, and they would lose out in the fight.

It's better... Do not use doubtful people, and do not doubt employing people.

He simply gave Yin Xuan everything he could, and made him the highest status—so that no matter how much Yin Xuan could contribute in the future, he wouldn't be arguing endlessly like today.

When I am about to abdicate in the future, which son will ascend the throne... That will be a headache for my sons.

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

On the contrary, those generals are much more open-minded, and their bottom line is "you can't just have a father on your head, but not on the head of the civil servant."

Although it is not a good thing to have a father on one's head, when they think that civil servants have such a father on their heads just like themselves, their hearts are much more balanced.

They all folded their arms and said nothing, allowing the civil officials to speak.

Anyway...

So what about Qin Guogong, as long as it doesn't involve military power, they don't have any objections even if they become the county king.

Li Shimin glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "Don't you...do you think that Duke Zhengyang's achievements are not worthy of being a Duke?"

The officials fell silent for a moment.

Li Shimin sighed again: "I also want to tell you a heartfelt thing. You are fighting back and forth in the court. Have you ever thought about...Does Duke Zhengyang really need Datang?"

After speaking, Li Shimin paused.

I translated what he said just now, and said it more bluntly: "Is there anything that Duke Zhengyang has done over the years that requires the court to lend a helping hand?"

Some officials in red robes and green robes can't wait to cover their ears now. Can these small officials listen to these words?
Rather than saying... Li Shimin means "Does Duke Zhengyang really need Datang?"

Rather, what Li Shimin expressed was "Does Duke Zhengyang really need the Tang court?"

Li Shimin also hated iron for being weak.

Fight! Fight!
Just know how to fight!

One by one fought for a title, so why can't they learn like Yin Xuan - it doesn't matter what titles, awards, etc., and they can still make such a big contribution.

The officials fell silent.

This... To be honest, it's a bit heartbreaking.

When they were still vying to highlight their status in the Tang court, Yin Xuan had already surpassed this level, and now the Tang court wanted to highlight their status in him.

"Duke Zhengyang's achievements are equivalent to establishing the Tang Dynasty again." Li Shimin breathed out and waved his hands, "I have a hunch that Persia is just the beginning."

"Maybe there will be Persia in the future, and more than one Persia will become my Tang's vassal."

"Instead of listening to you arguing here again and again, I think it's better to give him what he should give him once, and save you from arguing in the future."

Fang Xuanling was speechless.

It was always difficult for them to stop this kind of real achievements, and they also felt that Li Shimin's words were somewhat justified.

Fang Xuanling stopped talking.

Only those from the Ministry of Rites and Yushitai are still struggling, and those from aristocratic families—although Yin Xuan has become a climate, and has become someone they can't deal with.

But it's really hard to accept all of this.

But their obstruction is like the antonym of Yin Xuan - it doesn't make any sense.

The matter was finally settled.

The next day, early in the morning.

An eunuch went to the Tongfu restaurant. He stood beside Yin Xuan with low eyebrows and said softly, "Duke Zhengyang, the court has made a decision and will soon ennoble you as Duke of Qin."

Yin Xuan let out an "oh".

He didn't care about this at all, he just wanted to eat now - the eunuch had been waiting here early in the morning, and as soon as he stepped in, he immediately greeted him.

No eyesight at all!

Can you let yourself have a meal first.

The eunuch continued: "Your Majesty has sent you a message, I hope you can do a ceremony that day, even if it's just a little bit."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"After all, this is a blessing for all living beings in the world, and we should have fun with the people..." the eunuch said in the most official tone.

Before he could finish his sentence, Yin Xuan waved his hand and sneered, "It's not like they are the Duke of my country, it's a blessing for all living beings in the world."

"If I'm so cruel, I'm going to be happy to pay back my mother with the excuse of a few more taxes?"

The eunuch was a little dizzy by this sentence, it was just a reason, an excuse, why is Mr. Zhengyang so serious.

But he couldn't say harsh words, so he could only force a smile and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty thinks that if you do something a little bit, the court's face will look better."

Yin Xuan rolled his eyes: "I wish I had said no earlier."

"I'll make do with it that day."

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to say something more.

Yin Xuan waved his hand: "Okay, that's all. I'll go to the kitchen and get myself something to eat first. If you have nothing to do, go back."

The eunuch just wanted to clinch a few words, but since Lord Zhengyang said so, he naturally had no reason to stay.

Yin Xuan rushed to cook, and the eunuch went back.

In order to draw up a suitable memorial, the Ministry of Rites and Li Shimin spent three days.

three days later.
