The waiter nodded hurriedly and ran towards the Begonia Garden.

Marquis Zhongyong walked back and forth twice in Rongfu Hall, and waved to the waiter, "Go to Begonia Garden, let Hua Yatou come to me, let her ask her, what do you have in mind?" ”

"Under the wealth of the sky, if it is not good, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is afraid that it will face an abyss this time." Cui Yun said worriedly, "There are two marquis masters in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, which is a rare thing. ”

"What are the emperors and princes going to do?" This time, Xie Mohan was unexpectedly made a marquis, and even the Marquis of Zhongyong couldn't sit still, especially the temporary title of the prince and auxiliary minister. What does this mean? Let Xie Fanghua enter the palace to be married. What kind of plan?

In the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, he had already received the news of the early dynasty.

After hearing the news, he was already in a hurry, and at this time, he got Xie Mohan's signal, and hurriedly ran back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to report the news.

Xie Mohan was helpless, he couldn't stop Qin Yu alive or dead, what reason did he have to stop the prince? And Qin Yu's temperament, he may not be able to stop it. He could only glance at Tingyan not far away, and let Qin Yu follow him to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

"Brother Zigui, although I am the prince, you are an auxiliary minister. But speaking of which, we have also had a love affair since childhood. Why bother? Qin Yu waved his hand, not allowing him to object, "Let's go!" ”

Xie Mohan's heart was stricken, his heart was raised, and he immediately shirked, "How can you bother the prince to meet in person?" Forget it, Fanghua will take care of it, and I will send her to the palace to be married. Don't bother the prince. ”

"That's it!" Qin Yu stopped stopping him, put down his hand, and said slowly, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion with you to pick up Fanghua into the palace to be married!" My father has been sick for many days, and today I support the court, and I am afraid that I will be bedridden again when I go back, and the queen mother and the ladies of the harem were frightened yesterday. If no one is watching her placement arrangements for entering the palace, I'm afraid that the minions in the palace will not be able to handle it properly. I took her personally. You can also rest assured. ”

Xie Mohan looked at Qin Yu and said solemnly, "Yunlan and Lin Xi are indeed dedicated, but for my sister, they can't replace my own brother in the end." Please forgive me. ”

Qin Yu walked over with a smile and reached out to pat Xie Mohan on the shoulder, "You have Xie Yunlan and Xie Linxi in your mansion, so I don't need you anything." ”

"This ......" When everyone heard this, they couldn't say anything more.

"My sister got married, there were no parents in the house, my grandfather was old, I finally came back from Linfen Town, and I didn't do anything for my sister. Now she is about to enter the palace to be married. I'm still drinking and mishapping, so what's going on? Xie Mohan shook his head resolutely and shirked, "I understand the wishes of several adults, after my sister gets married, I will definitely choose a day to invite you to have a good time." ”

"Two days later, I will drink it again after the wedding, and today is to celebrate the joy of Xie Shizi's glorious life. How can you be alcohol-free? One said again.

"Two days later, the sister got married, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion held a banquet, and everyone was invited to drink and talk." Xie Mohan arched his hand.

Someone stepped forward again, "It's still early today, Xie Hou Ye is promoted, and we will rely on Hou Ye to carry me in the future, should Xie Hou Ye treat you?" ”

Xie Mohan could only stop and greet, "Thank you, sir." ”

Qin Yu glanced at the courtiers on the left and right, and someone immediately realized and caught up with Xie Mohan, "Master Xie, congratulations!" ”

Xie Mohan also followed him and wanted to leave together.

Prince Ying said no more and walked outside the palace.

"That's nature!" Qin Yu smiled and nodded.

Prince Ying also suppressed the worry in his heart, and said to Qin Yu, "Two days later, Zheng'er will get married, and the prince will come to the mansion to drink happy wine." ”

"Thank you, Prince." Xie Mohan could only arch his hand.

"Congratulations to Master Xie, congratulations to the eldest uncle." After Qin Yu sent the emperor away, he smiled and bowed to Xie Mohan and Prince Ying.

After saying this thing, the emperor could no longer support it and retired from the early dynasty.

But don't resist the will! My sister is about to enter the palace, so what awaits her in the palace to be married! What else does the prince have planned, it is really difficult to clothe. The imperial palace is the center of imperial power, the land of the Son of Heaven, and the place where no force is as powerful as the imperial power.

If it is to resist the decree, then it is beneficial to the imperial power and harmful to the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.

Otherwise, if it is spread out, the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion will not admire the grace of heaven and do not know how to elevate, and the words and writings of the people in the world will accuse the Marquis of Zhongyong and Xie Fanghua. said that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion did not know what was good or bad, and there was no imperial power in his eyes, and he was too arrogant. Then, for so many years, the good reputation of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion for keeping a low profile will be ruined.

No!

Can you refuse? Can you resist disrespect?

But now he and the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion are given a great reward to inherit the title, and the future of the Marquis of Zhongyong is promised to be prosperous. And the marriage of a minister's woman from the palace, although it is rare in ancient times, is not without precedent. This is a supreme honor.

It turned out that the prince had been fighting this idea all along.

Xie Mohan hung his head helplessly, thinking that his sister would enter the palace to be married, and as soon as he entered the palace, it would be the Longtan Tiger's Den. Easy to get in, but out of? Especially Qin Yu's thoughts, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"That's it! Xie Fanghua married from the Empress Dowager's De'an Palace. After the decree was issued, he immediately prepared to enter the palace to be married. The emperor made the final decision and did not allow anyone to refute it.

"This ......" the emperor brought out the Empress Dowager Deci and suppressed it, so that Prince Ying had no words to refute for a while.

The emperor sighed, "Brother Wang, if you marry your daughter-in-law, I will be happy as a younger brother." I grew up watching him play a child. Over the years, he has been half my son. What's more, although the queen mother has passed away for more than three years, I believe that her aura is still blessed in this palace. What's more, she loves Zheng Boy, and everyone knows it. If she had been there, she would not have objected. Although it doesn't make sense, it's not out of the box. ”

Prince Ying was also shocked, his intuition was not good, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable. ”

Xie Mo choked, and suddenly had no words to refute, and looked at Prince Ying.

The emperor laughed, "This reward is not for the Marquis of Zhongyong, it is for Qin Zheng, it has nothing to do with the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, so Marquis Xie doesn't have to be afraid." ”

Xie Mohan immediately lowered his head and bowed, "The emperor has been so kind to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion can no longer afford it." Please also ask the emperor to retract his order. ”

The emperor looked at Xie Mohan and asked with a smile, "Why not?" What does Master Xie think is wrong? ”

Xie Mohan's face changed, and he blurted out, "The emperor must not!" ”

"This is not a reward, so let's do it, I have already crowned him a few days ago, and there is nothing to reward him. The same is true for his daughter-in-law, who is about to marry him. The emperor smiled and said, "In addition, to spread my will, Xie Fanghua will marry from the palace as a princess." ”

Prince Ying felt justified and nodded.

"Brother Wang has always been stingy with praise for Zheng Boy." The emperor smiled when he heard this, and said to him, "Since he has done a good job, he should be rewarded." I will give him seven days off and let him come back for the wedding! can't get close to the big wedding, and still mingle in the barracks, it's not like words. ”

"It's working! However, his temperament is also nonsense, the emperor knows it, and it is not worth mentioning. Prince Ying shook his head.

The emperor nodded, "These days, Zheng Boy is said to be very attentive in the Xishan Military Camp, and since he went to the Xishan Military Camp, the atmosphere has changed greatly compared to before. ”

Prince Ying woke up and replied, "Back to the emperor, I remember correctly, it is the day after tomorrow." ”

The emperor nodded and looked at Prince Ying, "Brother Wang, if I remember correctly, the day after tomorrow will be the day of Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua's wedding!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they all shouted, "The emperor takes care of the dragon's body!" ”

After dealing with these two things, the emperor coughed twice, and continued with some weakness, "Recently, I have felt more and more weak. The crown prince has done a very good job, and I can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Cui Yizhi lowered her head and thanked the saint.

If there is a draft officer, he will immediately draft the will.

The emperor said behind him, "Pass the decree and seal Cui Yizhi as the squire of the military department." ”

Cui Yizhi raised his head and looked at the emperor.

After meeting the emperor, the emperor looked at him and said, "Cui Yizhi, a few months ago, I sent you to pick up the crown prince who was still the fourth prince back to Beijing. Although there are many twists and turns along the way, there are always no dangers, and you can be regarded as having completed the task. This time, I sent you to Linfen Bridge with Marquis Xie, who was once the prince of Xie Shizi, and you lived up to your expectations. I deeply feel that you are both civil and military, and you have the ability to be qualified for the position of a squire in the military department. ”

Not long after, Cui Yizhi went to the Golden Palace.

"Yes!" Someone immediately went,

After rewarding Xie Mohan this time, the emperor waved his hand again, "Go and summon Cui Yizhi into the palace!" ”

This time, the emperor and the crown prince decided on Xie Mohan's succession title, and the left and right ministers did not come forward to say a word, Prince Ying thought about it, but did not say anything. After all, two days later, his son was going to marry Xie Fanghua, the lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and at this time, it was not appropriate for him to say anything.

The ministers held their breath for a while, and no one spoke.

Qin Yu also thanked him decently.

Xie Mohan couldn't refuse, so he could only thank him.

Immediately, there was a decree of the proposed official, which was read out by the court, and the title of this hereditary title and the temporary official position of the prince and auxiliary minister were decided.

"Yes, Xie Shizi doesn't have to excuse himself!" The emperor waved his hand and signaled the order.

"Since I am not afraid of hard work, my father Chrysostom has opened, and the matter is settled." Qin Yu smiled and waved his hand at him, "Brother Zi, thank your father for his grace!" The words fell, adding, "I can get a person who assists talents, and I also want to thank my father." ”

"Naturally not!" Xie Mohan couldn't guess Qin Yu's thoughts, but he intuitively felt that it would not be good if he agreed.

"Alas, brother Zigui, you and I have known each other since childhood, have similar interests, you are talented and capable, and you are willing to share worries for the country. Don't shirk it. Qin Yu interrupted him, "Assisting me by my side is not a light burden." Are you not willing to serve me? Afraid of hard work? ”

"The emperor must not!" Xie Mohan looked at Qin Yu, "Prince, the minister can't stand it, and ask the prince to ......"

"Good!" The emperor nodded and said to Wu Quan, "I will immediately seal the title of Xie Shizi, and temporarily title the prince and auxiliary minister." ”

"Father Emperor Shengming, since you also think it makes sense, please give an order!" Qin Yu's complexion remained unchanged and pleaded again.

This kind of wealth and wealth is spread out, not to mention that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are shocked, even the capital will be shaken, and the world will be shocked!

Is this letting go of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion? Aren't you afraid that the prosperity of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is too threatening to the imperial power? If the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion climbs another heavenly step, it is really only a fraction of a minute away from the imperial power.

Why did the emperor agree?

The ministers were shocked again, did the emperor agree?

The emperor squinted and stared at Xie Mohan for a moment, then looked at Qin Yu and said slowly, "There is some truth in what the prince asked. ”

Xie Mohan was also shocked, raised his eyes to look at Qin Yu, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Grandfather is still here, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been blessed with the emperor's favor all these years, and I don't dare to ask for too much." The prince's words must not be accepted. If the emperor really wants to reward the minister, it is enough to give the minister a qualification to enter the court. The minister will do his best to do his best for the prosperity of my southern Qinjiang and mountains. ”

For a while, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military needles could be heard, and they were so shocked that they were speechless.

If this is the case, if it evolves like this, then the Marquis of Zhongyong will not only not be eradicated and decayed by the taboo of imperial power due to the change of the old and new regimes in the future, but the glory will be higher to a higher level, which is equivalent to climbing a ladder again.

Especially Xie Mo has talent, ability and identity, if the prince really has a serious heart, then in the future, he will take over the current position of auxiliary government on the left and right, under one person, above ten thousand people.

I can't set a precedent for the time being, just say that the prince's auxiliary ministers, in ancient times, were all relatives and nobles who were awarded according to merit after the prince ascended the throne.

And the prince will also make him an auxiliary minister of the prince. Since ancient times, the prince's auxiliary ministers have all been ministers and ministers in the prince's mansion, and no rich prince and grandson have ever given the prince auxiliary ministers, but the prince wants to set a precedent?

The old marquis is alive, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is going to make the prince a marquis, and from now on, it will be a family of two marquis, which is more expensive?

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.

Qin Yu glanced back and smiled slightly, "Father, Xie Shizi is slightly older than Erchen, and he has outstanding ability and talent, and it is best to use it for Kuang Fu Sheji." The son asked his father to allow Xie Shizi to inherit the marquis of the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion. Temporarily appointed as the prince's auxiliary minister, followed the son's ministers, and assisted the sons and daughters in governing the government. ”

"Huh? It's hard to say, isn't it? The emperor looked around, but no one answered, so he raised his eyebrows.

The ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I can't tell whether Xie Mohan is really shirking or fake shirking, and I can't tell whether the emperor really wants to give a reward or fake pretense. After all, for such a long time, the relationship between the emperor and the Xie family is like walking on the edge of a knife, and it will bleed if you are not careful. No one spoke for a while.

"Look, this is the good descendant of the Xie family!" The emperor sighed with emotion and said to the ministers, "All of you love Qing, Xie Shizi has made a great contribution to the construction of the Linfen Bridge. Although Xie Shizi doesn't ask for a reward, I can't help it. It is also to set an example for future courtiers to do good deeds. You say, "What reward should you give?" ”

Xie Mohan still shook his head, "The minister doesn't ask for a reward." ”

"Cui Yizhi of the Qinghe Cui clan." The emperor nodded, "I haven't forgotten him, don't worry, you talk about your reward first, I will naturally be indispensable to him." ”

Xie Mohan shook his head again, "The minister was born in Nanqin and grew up in Nanqin, solving problems for the people of Nanqin, and doing his job. If the emperor is rewarded, he will reward the second son of the Qinghe Cui family! He was a helper to his ministers, and he toiled very hard. ”

"Still, the award is still going to be awarded." The emperor looked at Xie Mohan, "Xie Shizi just said, no matter what you ask, I will reward you." ”

Xie Mohan lowered his head.

The emperor laughed, "The prince's righteous act yesterday has made me very relieved, and today Xie Shizi does not ask for a reward, which also makes me very happy." I, the noble relatives of Southern Qin, are united in their hearts and minds to work for the blessing of the country and the people, which is really a blessing for the people of Southern Qin and a blessing for the rivers and mountains of Southern Qin. ”

Xie Mohan stood up and shook his head, "As a citizen of Southern Qin, the minister should share the worries of the country and the people. No reward. ”

After bowing, the emperor kindly beckoned Xie Mohan to get up, "Xie Shizi is exempt, you went to Linfen Bridge to build the bridge this time, and it was completed within two months, relieving the worries of thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of households." It's really hard work. Whatever reward you want, just tell me. ”

Half an hour later, Xie Mohan hurriedly entered the palace and went to the golden palace of the early dynasty.

Especially the attitude of the crown prince, obviously deliberately divided the credit that was originally attributed to his own name to half of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. The important ministers were all guessing what the prince's idea was, and many people peeked at Qin Yu, but they couldn't see it from his face at all.

Three years ago, after the Zhongyong Marquis retired from the court, Xie Mohan was underage, coupled with the sick and weak body, no one took the class, and now the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has recovered, Xie Shizi is in good health, if he enters the court, then the future court bureau does not know what kind of changes will be made, no one can be sure.

In this way, Xie Mohan is afraid that he is about to enter the court.

I thought that Xie Mohan would not be able to build a project as big as the Linfen Bridge in two months, but he unexpectedly completed it successfully. In the whole world, there are people under the Xie family who can use such skilled craftsmen. Changed to the second person to go to Linfen Bridge, it didn't take three months, and it was not built well.

The ministers glanced at each other, and Qi Qi secretly thought about what reward the emperor wanted to give Xie Mohan.

"Yes!" Someone immediately ran out of the Golden Temple.

"That's it!" The emperor suddenly, "Someone is coming, summon Xie Shizi to the palace, and I want to reward him in front of the ministers." ”

Qin Yu took a step forward, "Back to his father, Xie Shizi successfully completed the task of building the Linfen Bridge, and he had already handed over an errand with his son two days ago, but he had not been granted an official position by his father, so he naturally would not appear in the early dynasty." ”

The ministers were all stunned.

The Emperor: "Oh? With a sigh, he glanced at the ministers, and suddenly asked, "I remember that Xie Shizi returned to Beijing, why didn't I see him earlier?" ”

Qin Yu bowed, "Thank you for your praise, yesterday I was able to quickly treat the emergency illnesses of the courtiers and harem mothers, and it was not all the work of the ministers." There is also the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion who sent a divine doctor to help, so that he can quickly stabilize the situation and appease people's hearts. ”

The emperor smiled and nodded, and praised the prince standing at the head of the ministers, "The prince is like this, headed by the family and country, which makes me very happy and lives up to my teachings." Very good! ”

On the second day, the sky was clear, and the emperor rarely went to the early court again. It seems that he has improved after recuperating for many days, and the ministers are even more happy, bowing again and again, calling the prince benevolent and virtuous, and saying that the emperor is blessed with all the heavens.

Almost overnight, it spread all over the capital for hundreds of miles.

After a period of panic and turmoil in the harem and court, the prince's reputation was unprecedentedly high.
