"The lord of Qingchuan City is diligent and loves the people, and he has made meritorious contributions to the governance of Qingchuan City, and the king of Han has rewarded him and awarded him the title of fifth-class baron. ”

"Donglin City's financial and tax master Bo has a way of financial management, and has meritorious service in governing the people, and the king of the Han Dynasty has rewarded him and named him a member of the Chen Guohu Department. ”

......

......

After brewing for a long time in Changle Palace, the decrees of sealing officials and adding knights were quickly sent out towards the one hundred and thirty cities of Chen State.

This time, the movement of adding officials to the knighthood is so big, the scope is so wide, and it is appalling, one hundred and thirty cities, all the officials of all sizes are included, the officials of the small ones are promoted, and the officials of the big ones are knighted, until there is no seal.

As small as the county officials, as large as six books, all those who can be sealed are sealed, and those who cannot be sealed are knighted.

In Weiyang Palace, Fan Zenggao sat on the main seat, and in front of him were a group of staff officials.

An official said in a deep voice: "Conspiracy, Taifu, this must be a conspiracy." ”

Another official said: "This Han Wang's work is really unpredictable! He took over all those projects without thinking about it, but now he is almost finished, and he has stopped them all, and he has just started." Now that he is wantonly adding officials to the knighthood, he must not have any good intentions, and most of them are coming at us. ”

"I thought that King Han would rely on his millions of spirit stones and quietly send someone to buy us! But I didn't expect him to do nothing, and he didn't even pay attention to us. I thought he was going to face us head-on, but I didn't expect him to suddenly increase his official ranks, this must be a conspiracy. ”

Fan Zeng's face was solemn and said, "What officials have been knighted?"

The official who spoke before said: "All, all the officials large and small in the Chen Kingdom, the officials who are crowned officials, and the people who enter the knights, everyone has a share. ”

Fan Zeng's eyes narrowed, "All the officials, big and small, don't miss a single one, what is he going to do?"

Fan Siyuan pondered: "Taifu, no matter what he wants to do, we have to guard against him, his purpose must be to come at us, first of all, what kind of tax exemption decree will cause us heavy losses." Although, Taifu's method also didn't make them any benefits, but we didn't have the upper hand in that confrontation after all, I always feel that he showed his sword this time, and he didn't have any good intentions, so let's be careful. ”

Fan Zeng nodded solemnly.

He had communicated with Wang Xifeng in private, and if the situation developed according to his ideas, it would be a matter of time before Dongluo was expelled from Chen Guo.

But at this juncture, the project stopped in Wang Xifeng's hands had not yet started, and the new decree of King Han came down.

To add officials and knights to officials large and small in Chen Guo, this is to use the method of adding officials to the knighthood to buy Chen Guo's officials?

If that's the case, it doesn't seem to be useful to add an official to a knight!

Just as Fan Zeng was still thinking about it, Qian Donglai said with a complicated face: "Taifu, will we accept the edict of knighthood sent by the King of Han or not?"

To tell the truth, as an official to achieve his current position, a book of books, what is the picture? Do you want to be promoted? He's already one of the biggest. So, he's not trying to do that

A name?

can be worthy of the name of a book, isn't it just to worship the prime minister?

But in such a stable era, it is not easy to wait and worship.

And the edict of knighthood written to him by the king of Han was written as a second-class earl. It's already the name of the top sky.

If he receives the edict of the Han King, then he will be a second-class earl from now on, and this second-class earl is not only the second-class earl of Chen State, but also the second-class earl of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because his title was personally granted by the Han King, one of the nine monarchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this title is also equivalent in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Is there any other name, more famous than a second-class count of a dynasty?

There should be no more in this Chen country! Even if it is compared to Taifu, he is not too worried.

Therefore, he still wants to take it in his heart, but he also knows his current position, he is a member of the Taifu camp.

After Qian Dong finished speaking, another official said: "Yes! The lower official also received the edict of the knight, whether to accept it or not." ”

All the officials looked at Fan Zeng with some expectation.

They don't care much about adding officials or something, what they really care about is entering the knighthood.

That's fame, and that's profit.

Fan Zeng looked at the officials in front of him with a somewhat solemn face, and knew what they were thinking, "Do you want to take it?"

Qian Donglai looked at Fan Zeng with some surprise.

What does Taifu mean by this?

Qian Donglai carefully considered the language and said: "If the master says to take it, the next official will take it." If the Taifu says that he will not accept it, the lower official will not accept it. ”

"To be honest, the knighted subordinate of the Han King is also a little moved, but the subordinate knows the position of the lower official. ”

"Xiaguan can not be accepted, but many people in Xiaguan City have accepted, the title granted by the Han King is valid in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the title represents not only a kind of Yulu, but also a status. The title of a dynasty is a supreme status. ”

......

......

All the officials were looking at Fan Zeng, waiting for him to make a decision, but some people's eyes moved slightly, most of them were going to be knighted regardless of whether Tai Fu Tong disagreed or not.

Fan Zeng's face was very ugly, if so many livelihood projects were completely handsome, then Chen Guo's people's hearts would have been completely controlled by Dongluo.

He has been staring at the hundred officials of Chen State, if the hearts of hundreds of officials are bought by Dongluo again, then his authority in Chen State will decline sharply, so he has been guarding against hundreds of officials, but he has been guarding against thousands of guards, but he did not expect that recognizing the king would be a blatant bribery, a righteous and bright purchase, without spending a penny, just adding an official and conferring a knighthood, which made his group of subordinates excited.

This is something that only Dongluo can do in the Han Dynasty! In this Chen country, only Dongluo can be knighted, and only he can justify his name.

Even if it is him Fan Zeng, if he wants to be knighted, he must first write an excerpt and send it to the Great Zhou Household Department for review, and the minister will be confirmed, and Zhou Tianzi will be canonized, so that it can be true and effective.

The process is complicated and the procedures are complicated, and under normal circumstances, he will not make trouble and confer knighthood on his subordinates.

But it is precisely because of this that these officials will be moved when they receive the edict of the Taifu.

"Taifu, the King of Han bought this time, and he can't stop it!" Qian Donglai smiled bitterly: "The knight is not lightly awarded, but now the King of Han has such a large area of knighthood, who knows if the King of Han will be like this next time, so many people know that the opportunity is rare, and they will definitely go all out. In this interval of life, King Han sowed discord again, and it would be difficult to work together again. ”

"Yes, not only that, some officials have already been sealed, and Taifu has only now said that they are not allowed, have they withdrawn their titles? That may not be just a gap, but a big enemy, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will join the camp of the King of Han. ”

Fan Zeng's face was a little terrifying.

According to the current posture, if he agrees to add an official to the knighthood, the hundred officials will be grateful to the King of Han. If he doesn't agree, what the officials dislike is that it is him Fan Zeng.

How to make this choice?

Some officials also thought of this stubble, and their faces couldn't help but change wildly, "This Han King's intentions are really sinister!"

This is already obvious to provoke the relationship between Taifu and Baiguan.

Fan Zeng felt a little aggrieved in his heart, if he had the ability to confer knighthood, then he would definitely be knighted now, but he couldn't!

Fan Siyuan said after careful consideration: "Taifu, or the King of Han will add an official to the knighthood, we all agree, and we also admit that we can even increase our efforts a little more, we can't change the title, but we can add the local official to the Beijing official, and the small official to the big official, and we have only one requirement for them, that is, the official is also promoted, and the lord is also, but we just don't do anything." To eat dry and wipe clean is to deny the account. ”

Qian Donglai also smiled and said, "Yes! Master Fan, this is a good plan!"

Fan Zeng's eyes were also slightly bright.

Since the purpose of King Han is to buy the hearts of hundreds of officials, it now depends on who buys them to a greater extent.

If the operation is done properly, King Han's move may be to steal chickens and rice, and lose his wife and soldiers!

A group of officials were also looking at Fan Zeng.

Add officials, don't do it!

Knighthood, who doesn't?

The title can be passed on to one's descendants, thus creating a large family.

And he is the ancestor of that family.

And now the people who can be in this hall are already the largest group of officials in the Chen State, so the King of Han did not let them add officials, but gave them all knights, that is to say, the people in this hall today, except for Fan Zeng's father and son, everyone has a title.

The most inferior is also a marquis of the third class.

To be honest, everyone was waiting for Fan Zeng to nod.

If they wait for Fan Zeng to confer knighthood on them, then when will they have to wait, even if Fan Zeng is really not too troublesome, after the Great Zhou Household Department, the ministers, Zhou Tianzi got them the title, although it was also canonized by Zhou Tianzi, but this is only equivalent to Zhou Tianzi canonized for the lord of Chen Guoguo, that is to say, their title is only Chen Guo's

Title, not the title of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the canonization of the Han Dynasty is different, it is a title that is valid throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now, who doesn't want this heavenly benefit? Who doesn't want it? If the King of Han gave Fan Zeng a first-class duke, I am afraid that Mrs. Fan will also be moved.

But I don't know what the King of Han thinks, the official who gave Chen Guo a hundred officials and the one who entered the jue, but forgot about Fan Zeng's family.

Fan Zeng sighed lightly.

What kind of conspiracy is this! It's a naked conspiracy! He can't even refuse a conspiracy!

Fan Zeng nodded, since he couldn't refuse, then accept it! Just ask that the situation will not continue to deteriorate.

Seeing that Fan Zeng nodded, Qian Donglai and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, but they covered it up very well. But no matter how well they disguised it, how could they hide from the eyes of the old fox Mrs. Fan.

As Fan Zeng nodded, the officials of Chen State, large and small, all happily went to receive the reward of the King of Han.

......

......

In the Changle Palace, Dongluo smiled when he heard the news from the Temple of Death that the Taifu agreed to be added to the rank of knight.

As for the news that the minor officials were added to the big officials and the local officials were added to the Beijing officials, he forgot about them when he heard them. This is not a big deal, and the addition of officials is only the beginning! The main purpose of this time is to become a knight.

The addition of officials is aimed at those petty officials, but it is dispensable? Only by entering the Jue can the officials who can enter the Weiyang Palace to participate in the court meeting be tempted, and let them force or induce Fan Zeng to make a choice.

And the result of the fact is indeed as expected by Dongluo.

Fan Zeng agreed.

Dongluo said in a deep voice: "Fan Zeng has agreed to all the edicts of adding officials to the knighthood, and even he has made plans to add a small number of small officials to big officials, and local officials to Beijing officials. ”

Xue Nianci smiled: "Isn't he deceiving himself?"

Can't he see that it is the nominal titles that force him to make a choice today, not the big and small officials?

He is now thinking about adding officials to others, isn't that self-deception?

And those who are officials, from this complicated situation, how can they not see the slightest abnormal situation, at this time, to add officials to others and then add officials, that is to deceive people.

Dongluo looked at Xue Nianci and said, "Wait for two more days, and wait for this turmoil of adding officials to the knighthood to ease down a little more, and after it subsides a little, you will do it." When the time comes, I will let all the officials of Chen Guo fall into the quagmire, unable to extricate themselves, and will not be able to disturb you. ”

Xue Nianci nodded, "Then I'll wait for two more days, just right, let those chickens eat more and eat fatter, and when I kill them, I won't feel that there is no oil and water." ”

Dongluo looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Chen Changsheng, when the time comes, you will send five hundred people from the Fifth Realm of the Heavens to follow Xue Nianci and protect Xue Nianci's safety." ”

Dongluo said again: "By the way, Qin Shuyu, when the time comes, you will also go, you will secretly follow Xue Nianci, you don't have to make a move, just show your face at the critical moment, and shock Xiaoxiao." ”

Chen Changsheng and Qin Shuyu both nodded.

although

However, they still don't know what the prince and Xue Nianci are planning, but it seems to sound very dangerous.

Who is the chicken and who is the monkey, they are a little inexplicably looking forward to it.

According to King Han's plan, it is already the first step to prepare to invite Taifu out of Chen Guo, and looking at this way, this first step seems to be extremely stable, because Fan Zeng is supporting him!

It can be expected that the next Chen State officialdom will be earthquake after earthquake, until the hearts of the people who are shaken are scattered, everyone in the officialdom is in danger, and Taifu is out of Chen State.

In the past two days, Qin Shuyu secretly handed over the project in his hand to Wang Xifeng, and did not ask about it, but it was not announced to the public, and only a few people knew about it.

And Wang Xifeng also began to discuss with Taifu Fan Zeng according to the things he had discussed, so that half of the projects in his hands had all kinds of big and small problems, and some projects that had just restarted were also stopped under her premeditated guidance.

It's just that these are all illusions, and Wang Xifeng is acting for Fan Zeng to paralyze him.

Two days later, the people of Chen Guo were still hotly discussing who was added to the official position today, who was admitted to the knighthood again, and who was added by a yamen official to an officer and went to Chang'an.

Whoever is promoted to three levels in a day, just the edict of the additional official is about to fill the house.

In this case, Chen Guo's officialdom was completely chaotic, and no one really did things anymore.

What do you do?

Maybe in the morning I was still listening to my boss and working tirelessly, but in the afternoon I became my boss, or even my boss's boss.

The King of Han is adding officials, and Taifu is also adding officials, the only difference is that King Han is also knighted at the same time as he is adding officials.

King Han and Taifu seem to regard the officialdom of the Chen State as a gladiatorial arena, they are both competing and competing for fame and fortune.

The officials didn't go to order anymore, they were all in their own mansions, listening to the news from the Weiyang Palace of Changle Palace.

Two days later, Xue Nianci sat in a horse-drawn cart, and beside him were the left and right protectors each holding a wooden sword.

One of them wore a green shirt and the other wore a white shirt, and after learning what their little gentleman was going to do this morning, they didn't do their excited homework, and they wanted to go with their little gentleman.

Xue Nianci couldn't resist the two of them, so she had to agree, so she should take them to see the world.

Huo Lingzi wanted to go with them, but he really couldn't open this mouth, so Xue Nianci naturally wouldn't call him.

Beside Xue Nianci was followed by the Fifth Realm of the Five Hundred Heavens, and behind him was the five thousand Rong family troops who had been transferred from outside Chang'an City not long ago.

And in the 5,000 Rong family army, there was also a prisoner cart, and the prisoner cart was escorting a young man with a disheveled head.

Such a large group of people, mighty, just left Changle Palace, and attracted the attention of Chang'an City.

"Five hundred days after tomorrow, the fifth realm, is this prince going to make any big moves! With so many people, is it possible that he is going to attack Weiyang Palace?"

"It shouldn't be, Weiyang Palace is in the east of the city, and they are going to the south of the city. ”

"The person who led the team is so handsome! The white face and the red hemorrhoids in the center of the eyebrows are simply a little brighter than all the mountains and rivers in the world. No wonder he became a close minister of the prince. ”

"That seems reasonable. ”

When Erhei heard these words, he secretly glanced at his little gentleman, it was a little brighter than all the mountains and rivers in the world, but what was the reason between the two and his close ministers who were his eldest brothers?

A lot of it doesn't make sense!

The army slowly marched through most of Chang'an and walked towards the south of the city.

The breeze blew, and the onlookers could see whose face was hidden by their hair in the prisoner's car.

"Isn't that Zhou Lin, the youngest son of Zhou Nanshan, the head of the Zhou family in the south of the city?"

"Not long ago, didn't the King of Han issue an edict saying that he rebelled with Wang Tieshan, the commander of the Yulin Army?

"I don't think it's just about asking for sin, it's mostly about extermination. Look at the fifth realm of the five hundred days after tomorrow, which family in Chang'an City can stop it?"

"If this is the case, the Zhou family is in danger! The Zhou family is very likely to grow up and be removed from the list. ”

"Dare to rebel against the king of Han, there is more than enough to die, it is not a pity to die, remove the name, and cheapen them. ”

......

The people of Chang'an, who had figured out these tricks, followed behind Xue Nianci one after another.

Xue Nianci ignored this, she was originally here to make an example of the monkeys, and it was just right for the monkeys to come more.

As Xue Nianci moved forward, the entourage took a deep breath, and it was not surprising that Xue Nianci was really going towards the Zhou family.

Xue Nianci stopped in front of the Zhou family, the gate of the Zhou family was closed, Xue Nianci waved his hand, and the fifth realm of the five hundred days immediately surrounded the Zhou family.

The five thousand Rong family troops took a step forward in unison, and with a bang, the Pu knife was unsheathed, and they all stared at the Zhou family's clan land.

Xue Nianci sat on the chariot and said lightly: "Xue Nianci, a close minister of the King of Han, has come to send Zhou Lin, the son of the Zhou family, home. ”
