The gentleman chatted too emotionally, and forgot the time for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the chamberlain came over to ask where to put the lunch, Emperor Taixi looked at the noon sun and simply left Liu Shi to have lunch together in Lu Mingxuan.

After lunch, Liu Shi resigned and left the palace.

As soon as I got out of the palace gate, I saw Boss An personally driving and waiting there, leaning on the carriage, looking lazy and bored, and I don't know how long I had been waiting.

Seeing Liu Zhi come out, Boss An hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, greeted him, and greeted, "Your Excellency is out!" Madame was a little worried when she saw that you had not returned at lunchtime, so she asked me to come and wait in the carriage early. ”

"The Holy One left lunch." Liu Zhi explained with a smile, his expression was indifferent, and he was not excited to receive the honor of being given food by Emperor Taixi.

Boss An was very excited when he heard it, as if he was the one who gave the banquet to Emperor Taixi, and he kept talking to Liu Shi about it along the way.

The carriage galloped all the way back to Liu's house in Lantern Lane, and Peng Jin had already waited anxiously at the second gate.

The husband and wife entered the inner courtyard all the way, and Liu Shi didn't have time to tell Peng Jin about entering the palace in the morning to accept the summons of Emperor Taixi, so he instructed Mr. Josephine to hurry up and prepare, and enter the palace with him in a while.

Mr. Josephine's Chinese was occasionally not very good, and he had to go with him and act as an interpreter when necessary.

This is Mr. Josephine's biggest desire to enter Beijing this time, but perhaps the wish came true too suddenly, he was stunned for a moment before he understood what Liu Zhi meant, jumped up excitedly, and hugged Mrs. Josephine and the children beside him and kissed him fiercely.

Liu's mother and other servants who stayed in Liu's house, after a day of adaptation, have become accustomed to the custom of hugging and kissing at every turn of the foreigner family, but they just forced a smile and turned their faces away, no longer as surprised and ashamed as they were when they first met yesterday.

"The saint has to take a nap after the morning, and then he has to approve the recital that the courtiers just handed in the morning, so we can wait before entering the palace. You just take this opportunity to learn about the rules of our Daqi. Liu Zhi had a straight face.

The sin of the failure to honor in front of the palace can be great or small, and for the future development of Mr. Josephine and the caravan at sea, the necessary rules must be learned to be observed.

Mr. Josephine nodded hurriedly and respectfully invited Liu Shi into the room to teach him.

Peng Jin and Mrs. Josephine were afraid of disturbing them, so they went back to the living room and gossiped about the scenery of the capital.

As for the three children of Kate, John and Elizabeth, they were handed over to Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che to entertain.

The children flocked to the back garden, frolicking and chasing, and having a great time.

About an hour later, Mr. Liu Shi and Mr. Josephine pushed the door open, got into the carriage in their clothes, and galloped all the way to the palace.

Peng Jin and Mrs. Josephine waited at home with their children, anxious and excited.

Especially Madame Josephine, if she can get the blessing of the Great Qi Emperor when she enters the palace this time, then the ocean-going sea caravan will definitely be able to develop further in the future.

When the heart is waiting, time always seems particularly difficult.

Fortunately, at sunset, Liu Zhi and Mr. Josephine finally rushed back.

Mrs. Josephine and Peng Jin responded hand in hand and asked anxiously, "How is it?" What did His Majesty the Emperor say? ”

Mr. Josephine couldn't stop laughing, "It's done!" His Majesty the Emperor has also specially given me an official position! ”

He even had a day as an official, it's amazing to think about it.

When Peng Jin heard this, her face was shocked, she thought that Emperor Taixi would reward Mr. Josephine, but she did not expect that Emperor Taixi would directly grant Mr. Josephine an official position.

Liu Shi on the side saw Peng Jin's surprised face, and saw that Josephine and his wife hugged each other again as if no one was around, so he simply took Peng Jin back to the room.

"What's the matter, how could the Holy One think of bestowing Mr. Josephine with an official position?" As soon as he entered the room, before he could sit down, Peng Jin asked curiously and anxiously.

"It is said to be an official position, but in fact it is just a fictitious title, in order to facilitate the ocean-going sea caravan to walk in the territory of Daqi." Liu Zhi said with a smile, "This is the same as Zhao Miao's order to do business." ”

Walking on the sea?

None of the previous dynasties had ever heard of this official position, and it was obviously added by Emperor Taixi on his temporary initiative.

However, with this false title of Zhengbapin, it will be much more convenient for Mr. Josephine and his ocean-going caravans to operate in the territory of Daqi in the future.

"Then since you have an official position, will Mr. Josephine's family stay in the capital from now on?" Peng Jin asked again, it would be good if they could stay, Mr. Josephine's family is indeed a friend worthy of sincere friendship.

"Quite the opposite." Liu Zhi said with a smile, "What the Holy Lord gave to Mr. Josephine is the official body of the eighth grade of sea walking.

What do you mean by 'sea walking'? As the name suggests, isn't it just for him to continue to lead the ocean-going sea caravans and fight the oceans!

As for Mrs. Josephine and her three children, whether to stay in the capital or return to Quanzhou, it all depends on their own choice. ”

Peng Jin was dumbfounded, walking on the sea, this official position is too "as the name suggests"!

"But in that case, Mr. Josephine should be pleased." Peng Jin said with a smile, "People like him who like to venture on the vast sea don't want to stay on the shore for the rest of his life!" ”

Liu Shi smiled and nodded approvingly.

"After talking about other people's affairs, let's talk about our own affairs." Peng Jin changed the topic and asked excitedly, "What did the Holy Lord say when he summoned you to the palace this time?" ”

Liu Shi briefly mentioned the conversation between Emperor Taixi and him to Peng Jin, and said with a smile at the end: "The saint also said that I am a lucky star and a blessed general, and everywhere I go, the four realms are peaceful, so I was named Ning Anbo." ”

"It turns out that Ning Anbo's title is from this origin!" After hearing this, Peng Jin said with a smile, "Clear out the remnants of the great prince, hit the Japanese people and call the ministers to pay tribute, and go far to the ocean islands, so that the country will be peaceful!" ”

Seeing Peng Jin seriously counting his past exploits, Liu Zhi couldn't help laughing.

"Not only that, but the saint also said that it is impossible to give the earl a fief under the current situation, but the mansion can give us one." Liu Shi raised his eyebrows at Peng Jin as if offering a treasure.

The nobles of the feudal territory have always been Emperor Taixi's henchmen, how could Emperor Taixi build another barrier for himself!

Therefore, Emperor Taixi can give Liu Zhining the title and honor, but he is never willing to give an inch of fiefdom.

"Bestow the mansion!" Peng Jin was pleasantly surprised, "Although our current house is quite comfortable to live in, the Holy Lord's commendation is a trust and grace for you, and it is something worth celebrating!" ”

Seeing that Peng Jin was so happy and so dedicated to him, the corners of Liu Zhi's lips couldn't help but rise.
