Fang Jun, Cheng Sanlang's good brother who had worn a pair of trousers for many years, finally received a big reward for his contribution to the Liaodong and Dengzhou Navy.
Fang Jun was awarded the title of Prince of Qinghe County for his meritorious service in rescuing the prince. Later, he formed a trio with Li Ke and Cheng Sanlang and continued to make great achievements.

The title has also become the Qinghe County Prince, and now, he has finally become the dignified Qinghe County Marquis.
In other words, the Lao Fang family can now be said to be a family with two princes and one family.
At this moment, Fang Jun only knew how to laugh silly, seeing his father happy and angry, so he simply stood up, and both father and son expressed their gratitude to His Majesty.
Li Shimin looked at the honest smile on his face and received an elbow from his own father, but he didn't realize that Fang Xuanling was rubbing his elbow covertly with a grin on his face, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Then he opened his mouth to comfort and encourage the father and son, and waited until the father and son returned to their shift with smiles on their faces.
Li Shimin's eyes finally fell on a certain handsome boy from the Cheng family who kept looking this way eagerly.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth happily.
Ma Zhou over there had already taken advantage of the opportunity to take a sip of the tea handed over by the eunuch to moisten his throat.
Then he strode forward and stood up again, his eyes fell on Cheng Sanlang with bright eyes, and then in his loud voice he began to talk about Cheng Sanlang's long and unpleasant list of official positions and titles.
"Taishun Taibao, Dong'e County Bo, Taichang Temple Shaoqing..."
Before Ma Zhou finished reciting, Cheng Sanlang couldn't wait to stand up and walk forward, then bowed respectfully to Li Shimin before standing still.
"..." Facing the Cheng family, who had never been very particular, Ma Zhou felt pain in his balls.
However, I still took the overall situation into consideration, unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it aloud.
It has to be said that Cheng Sanlang really made a great contribution this time, so the content of Cheng Sanlang's imperial edict is also very special.
However, the considerate father-in-law also knew the reason why Cheng Sanlang took a bunch of bad friends to Qingzhou Governor's Mansion.
The reason is to let his loyal friends get the rain and the dew, so, a lot of credit is obviously caused by this kid.
However, this imperial edict did not reveal at all, for example, the method of drying salt that would benefit the country and the people, and could also greatly weaken the capital chain of Shandong's wealthy families.
In addition, the Datang Navy was improved, allowing the Datang Navy to sail across the ocean with invincible cruisers.
All the credit for these achievements should be attributed to his shameless gang of friends, so that they can also honor their ancestors.
However, in the subsequent battle where the navy encircled and strangled the Japanese navy, Cheng Sanlang, as the commander of the partial division, naturally could not erase his merits.
After that, Cheng Sanlang led a partial division of the Tang Dynasty navy and directly destroyed the Japanese country, which had strong soldiers and horses and was fighting against the Tang Dynasty all day long. The merit of capturing its leader alive must also be counted.
Even if half of the credit is given to a group of friends, the remaining half will still have to go to him as the coach.
Later, Cheng Sanlang led the navy's grain transport fleet. When his own scouts accidentally shot an arrow, he became angry and directly captured the Liaodong City. This was another achievement.
After that, he relied on the 500 musketeers to contain the 80,000 elite troops of Goguryeo. Even if Li Jing and others lost a share of the credit, he and the 500 musketeers could still get half of it.
Then, as the governor of Liaodong Prefecture, he managed the Liaodong area in an orderly manner in a very short period of time, and also provided suggestions to the court to establish the province and many other achievements.
All in all, Ma Zhou himself felt scared when he read it. Damn it... Cheng Sanlang is so old, it makes people feel that he is almost ready to be a knight with these merits.
But soon, Ma Zhou's expression suddenly became strange, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at His Majesty behind him.
But he saw His Majesty the old god was there, nodding slightly towards him.
"He is now awarded the title of Duke of Liaodong County, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, champion general, and the title of Supreme Protector..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the ministers in the hall looked a little strange. Is this so special that His Majesty is deliberately suppressing the meritorious ministers?
You must know that just by destroying the country, a mere county prince cannot solve the problem. You have to rely on the prince of the country to solve the problem.
After all, the merit of destroying a country is rare in the world. Since Your Majesty has been on the throne, there are only three, ah no... only four ministers who have made great achievements in destroying foreign enemy countries.
One is naturally Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty who took down the Eastern Turks. The other is Hou Junji, the famous rebel general who destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom. The third one is naturally the little-known one before the destruction of the country.
Wang Xuance.
But this time, because of his previous meritorious service, he was awarded the title of Marquis and became the chief minister of Liaodong Province.
But Cheng Sanlang was different. To destroy the Japanese country was to be captured by Te Niang.
Coupled with those messy and mind-numbing achievements, not giving him a duke is simply...
While everyone was thinking wildly, General Cheng was stroking his thick beard as thick as a steel needle, with a calm expression on his face.
As far as he is concerned, no matter how much your Majesty seals him, he will definitely not let the old Cheng family suffer.
Sure enough, as Ma Zhou continued to explain, everyone's expressions changed, including Cheng Sanlang's.
Your Majesty has given special favor to his son Cheng Boxian to wash his grandson's horse.
Suddenly, many ministers and ministers in the court were chattering uncontrollably.
Your Majesty, this is simply nonsense, but you are right. Cheng Sanlang is young and cannot be unblocked. Can he solve it later with a cup of Hedinghong?
Therefore, if you want to slow down the speed of his growth, you can only let everyone around him get the rain and dew equally.
In addition, this guy is not an authentic person, and His Majesty's imperial edict is also not authentic, so everyone just watched it for fun.
As expected, what followed was even more ruthless: the imperial edict also conferred the title of county monarch on his eldest daughter.
Cheng Sanlang couldn't help but be delighted. Compared to his eldest son who would inherit his title in the future, he cared more about his own daughter. Unexpectedly, he could actually get the title. After all, the title of County Lord was a female title.
Only the mother or wife of a military official of the imperial court's fifth rank could be granted the title of County Lord. However, his own daughter broke the rules and became the only woman to be granted the title of County Lord due to her father's meritorious service.
When Cheng Sanlang was about to bow his head and express his gratitude, he paused, and Ma Zhou, who seemed to have controlled his emotions, started to continue again.
"Cheng Chubi's second son was granted the title of court minister, and his third son was granted the title of Xuande minister... His sons and daughters were each given a thousand acres of fertile land in Liaodong Province..."
