Chapter 153: Meritorious Service (2)
As General Xu said, in the court, there has been a lot of quarrel over how to reward Mei Xueyan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Emperor Qi, Mei Xueyan first rescued General Xu for her merit, and then contributed to the extermination of the Qinglian faction, if this is not rewarded, it will inevitably make people criticize the court for not rewarding and not punishing, and if it loses fairness, if it goes on like this, what prestige does the court have at all? How many people in Jingguo are willing to serve the imperial court? ”
The right minister of his age, he is already a veteran of the three dynasties, and in his old age, he is a little weak in his words and deeds.
The dragon chair is naturally sitting on the current saint, but it is a five or six-year-old child, the little emperor is born immature and cute, although he pretends to listen to the courtiers, in fact, he doesn't know what they are talking about, and unconsciously lowers his eyebrows to look at his dangling legs.
And the phoenix seat next to the emperor is Xiao Guifei back then, and now the queen mother, she can't show up when she hangs the curtain to listen to the government, so she is naturally covered by many beaded curtains, and she can only see the brilliance of the phoenix crown on her body.
"The emperor and the mourning family have this intention, does Zuo Xiang have something to say?"
The Queen Mother didn't know what her face was, but her voice was still young, and as soon as she spoke, the emperor didn't dare to make any more small movements, raised his head solemnly, and looked ahead seriously.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
The left phase is not yet full of sixties, and it is when he is in the prime of life among the old ministers.
Zuo Xiang's face was expressionless, it was a matter of time before he rewarded Mei Xueyan, he would not disobey the Queen Mother and the Emperor because of this, it was better to follow their meaning, it doesn't matter if you reward or not, the key is what the Queen Mother wants to reward her.
"Well, the emperor and the mourning family drafted a holy decree at the beginning, because she is a daughter, and she can't be added to the rank like a general, so the emperor is ready to give her a five-grade edict. There is also Maocai who became a Maocai in Lin'an County before her imperial examination, and the five poems were screened together and "Mulan Poems" had the merit of educating the people of Limin. ”
Zuo Xiang's face twitched inadvertently, and when she came up, she was sealed from the fourth grade, so what would she do in the future, wouldn't she have to climb to the first grade? In fact, these false names and left ministers didn't care about it originally, but because Mei Xueyan wrote that scripture and righteousness, she opposed the thoughts of his ancestor Xunzi, and now she is rewarding her, isn't it telling the world that Xunzi's thoughts are wrong?
"Emperor Qi...... The minister felt that there was something wrong. ”
Without the left side of speaking, the attendants of the Ministry of Rites who were attached to his faction had already started.
"It is said that the emperor and the queen mother rewarded meritorious people, and it is not an exaggeration to award Mei Xueyan a four-grade edict based on her merits...... But historically, the decree has only been awarded to the husband of the wife, and it is rewarded according to the title of the husband's family, this Mei Xueyan is still a teenage woman, and she has not even married, so it is really against the legislation to be called 'Mrs. Decree', which is very inappropriate. ”
The Queen Mother didn't speak, she knew early on that the matter of the reward would not be done easily, and the people from the left prime minister's faction would definitely jump out against it, so she simply waited quietly, and someone who had her own understanding of the holy will said it for her.
This time, it was the right minister who personally spoke: "The word etiquette can not be rigid, from ancient times to the present, it is a convention to be polite, and the law is summarized by the sages and sages. ”
His voice was not loud, but it carried a lot of weight.
"Whether Mei Xueyan's meritorious name and literary degree are valid, we have argued with the Academy of Literature many times, and we will not repeat it today."
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said, "The right minister just said that he is very right, and the lower officials have no objections...... It's just that some things can't be changed if you want to, and you can't be deposed because of one person, for example, this 'Lady of Commandment' can only be a 'Lady of Command', and she can't become a 'Lady of Command', if even the Compendium is chaotic, then the court doesn't have to set up a Ministry of Rites. ”
"Squire-sama is right." The right minister said quietly, "If you can't seal the order, then simply reward her for her military merits and civil merits, and with her current merits, she can serve as a military position of more than five grades and an official position of more than six grades." ”
Zuo Xiang couldn't help but sink his face, he didn't even want to give Mei Xueyan such a false name, how could he allow her to receive the military official position and title with real power?
"It's just that she saved a person, whether it's her credit is still unknown, in addition, it is true that she managed to eradicate the Qinglian faction's rudder, but it is just a rudder, why did Lord Right Xiang raise her merits to the fifth grade?" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said in a muffled voice.
"Oh, Lord Shilang may not know the situation on the southeast coast of my Jingguo now, do you know that the existence of a rudder of the Qinglian Sect is a hidden danger for the entire Taiyuan Mansion and even Jingguo? If they are allowed to collude with the foreign invaders to succeed, there will be 50,000 people and horses in the Qinglian Sect distributed in the Panorama Country, and they are all martial arts masters hidden in the henchmen of my Jingguo, at least 100,000 elite soldiers can be suppressed. Once they are given the upper hand, I may ask Lord Squire, where else can we find these 100,000 elite soldiers? ”
The words of the right minister were sonorous and powerful, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites did not understand the military situation, but he also broke out in a cold sweat.
"This ......"
"And that's not all." Right Xiang continued, "Your Majesty, Mei Xueyan has developed a healing elixir and a 'surgery' method, which has been verified by the Tai Hospital, and is several times better than the previous injury medicine, and the 'surgery' method can prolong the life of a dying person!" ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites almost fell to the ground, no matter how much he spoke, he couldn't parry it, and these feats were put on the table, which was almost to compare him to him.
"Oh? Is there really such a miracle medicine? Can you take a look? ”
The right minister bowed and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, this medicine was retrieved by Imperial Physician Jiang from Taiyuan Mansion for thousands of miles, and it was jointly verified with Imperial Physician Jiang, and Imperial Physician Jiang was already waiting outside the palace to pass the word." ”
"Biography!" The Queen Mother immediately said.
Imperial Physician Jiang walked in front, and behind him were his two medicine boys, Imperial Physician Jiang often walked around the palace, so he was not stage frightened, and his two medicine boys were a little timid, and their hands holding the tray couldn't help shaking.
After he saluted, the Queen Mother took the initiative to ask, "Imperial Doctor Jiang, the medicine you brought back from Taiyuan Mansion, and that hand...... Is the surgical method really so magical? ”
"The Emperor and the Queen Mother, there are two kinds of medicine that Weichen brought back this time, one is used to heal wounds, such as this white medicine, and the other is Ma Boiling Powder, which is used to relieve pain during surgery."
The civil and military officials were curious about Mei Xueyan, and they didn't understand these very well, Imperial Physician Jiang could only explain patiently, he was slightly proud, after all, he was the only one who had seen Mei Xueyan's miraculous resurrection technique.
"The efficacy of this white medicine cannot be measured in words, it can only be compared, if a hundred people with a knife wound, fifty people will die of suppuration in the past, and the remaining fifty people will need thirty days to heal, as long as this white medicine is used, there will be no more than five suppurative people, and it only takes ten days to cure the disease!"
The officials were in an uproar.
