Chapter 148: The Bestowal of Knighthood
On this day, the capital has always been shrouded in a tense atmosphere, except for Duan Canghai and Qi Feng who are out to inquire about the news, the Hou Mansion is also staying at home. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Yang Ning can't go out, he has to practice the Qing Sutra in the mansion, he has now had contact with martial arts, and he also knows that although he has no worries about food and clothing because of his identity as the prince of Jinyi, it is precisely because of this that he will become a thorn in the side of some people, although the Hou Mansion also has a lot of guards, and the martial arts are not weak, but they can't take these people with them for twelve hours a day, and it's okay to meet ordinary opponents, if they meet a real master, they still have to rely on their own strength to protect themselves.
Since he has this thought, he will practice the Qing Sutra with his heart, the young monk of the True Ming Dynasty is young, and his martial arts are not weak, and he is not leaky, although it may not all be because of the Qing Sutra, but the role of the Qing Sutra must also be indispensable, and since Yang Ning knows that the pure man who has not yet met is the fourth old lady of the Qi family, he passed down the Qing Sutra, of course, it will not be for no reason, so if he has free time, he will take time to practice.
The Qing Sutra is a Buddhist mental method, and it is impossible to see immediate results, Yang Ning knows this, and knows that he must lay the foundation step by step and slowly, so although he has continued to cultivate, his breath still cannot circulate, but he is not anxious.
For two consecutive days, the streets and alleys have not been able to pass, from the news that Duan Canghai inquired about the news that the prince has held a ceremony to worship the heavens in the Great Guangming Temple, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor, only to return to Beijing, immediately announced to the world.
Yang Ning thought to himself that although the crown prince had ascended the throne, he could not guarantee that the overall situation had been decided.
At noon that day, Zhao Wuxian hurriedly came over and said, "Lord Shizi, someone has come to the palace, it's the prince..... No, it's the emperor's decree that has arrived, and Gonggong Fan has already entered the mansion, so the prince should hurry up and receive the decree. ”
Yang Ning asked, "Prince..... Oh, and the new emperor has returned to Beijing? ”
"I haven't heard that the emperor has returned to Beijing." Zhao said without injury.
Yang Ning hurried to the main hall of the Hou Mansion, the whole Hou Mansion had already hurried over, kneeling in the courtyard of the main hall, Yang Ning stepped forward and saw that Gu Qinghan and Duan Canghai were also among them, but he didn't see Qi Feng, and wanted to come to Qi Feng to inquire about the news outside, in addition, Tang Nuo was naturally not there, but the black ugly man he brought back from Jiangling was at the back of the crowd, everyone else was kneeling, but he was sitting on the ground, looking at everyone and smirking.
Someone on the side glanced at him, but the ugly black man turned a blind eye, and seemed to not understand the meaning, and looked up at the sky.
Yang Ning saw that the eunuch who came over to announce the decree was none other than Gonggong Fan from Qi Jing's funeral last time, he was a familiar face, followed by several little eunuchs, and two of them were still holding boxes with exquisite workmanship.
Seeing Yang Ning appear, Gonggong Fan had already smiled kindly: "Son, there is a decree in the saint, let's take the decree first!" ”
Yang Ning arched his hand, and then knelt down at the front, Fan Gonggong had already opened the holy decree, and preached in a sharp voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The house of loyalty and filial piety, the court training has long been completed, the Yintang of the righteous rope and martial arts, the oracle is awe-inspiring, there is no light in front of the light, there is a way to stick to the back, and the glory of the lord is sparse, and the report of the valley is used in the chapter." Er Qining, is the grandson of the old Hou Yigong, the eldest son of the first Hou Qi Jing, handsome and cool, eyes like electricity, Hui Muzong, like Yan Baby's loan public, undressing and pushing food with Fan Chun's good, benevolent Qi Qi's heir, Mao Xian's loyalty to the country, hereby Qin En, Ci'er inherited the brocade clothes and waited, the tin of the order in the play, the Lin toe is outstanding, the green lock is the training of the righteous side, the class clothes are radiant, and the light of Zichen is the light of Yuqing. Chin this! ”
Fan Gonggong's voice was frustrated, and a decree was read out, his face was full of red light, but Yang Ning was dizzy to hear it, the whole holy decree, only one percent could understand it, but the words of giving the Marquis of Jinyi were very clear, although he knew that the position of Marquis of Jinyi would be given sooner or later, but he did not expect that it would be suddenly given at this time, and he was surprised.
"Little Hou Ye, take the order quickly!" Father-in-law Fan said with a smile: "Congratulations to the little marquis!" He had already put together the decree, took two steps forward, and handed it over.
Yang Ning saw the holy decree handed over, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" Taking it with both hands, Father-in-law Fan had already personally come over to help Yang Ning up, and his tone was gentle: "Little Hou Ye, the Holy Lord is very important to Xiao Hou Ye, and he is thinking about Xiao Hou Ye in his heart." ”
"Father-in-law, Holy ...... Has the Holy Lord returned to Beijing? Yang Ning asked.
Father-in-law Fan smiled mysteriously, but Gu Qinghan had already got up and stepped forward and said, "Ning'er, please invite your father-in-law into the hall for tea." ”
Yang Ning reacted immediately, knowing that officialdom is different from the rivers and lakes, and he can't take it lightly at any time, so he immediately smiled and said: "Father-in-law, please come in, come here, watch the tea!" ”
Fan Gonggong smiled: "Don't be tired, don't be tired, if the will of the miscellaneous family is delivered, it will not be ......!" ”
"My father-in-law worked hard to pass on the decree, can't he even drink tea?" Yang Ning pulled Fan's arm, "Let's go, go in and drink tea." He glanced at it, and saw that everyone in the Hou Mansion was happy, even Duan Canghai was also excited that he couldn't hide it, he understood the mood of these people, and just smiled slightly.
Father-in-law Fan smiled and said, "This can only be disturbed." ”
Entering the main hall, Yang Ning very obediently let Gonggong Fan sit on the top, although the identity of a eunuch is far from being comparable to that of a marquis, but people are doing things in the palace, and the people around the emperor must not be neglected.
Someone had already brought the brewed tea as soon as possible, and even the two eunuchs who followed in did not slack off.
"Father-in-law taste it first, how about this tea?" Yang Ning knew that Gu Qinghan was thoughtful, and since it was tea for entertaining the people in the palace, it would naturally not be bad.
Fan Gonggong picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup and gave a thumbs up: "It's really good tea!" He added: "Yes, the Holy God also specially gave two treasures!" Turning around, the two eunuchs went over with the box and placed it on the case next to Yang Ning.
Yang Ning didn't want to open it in person, and he didn't know what the emperor had given, but he heard Fan Gonggong smile and said: "Little Marquis, the Holy One is still in the Great Guangming Temple, and the Holy Body of the First Emperor has gone to the Imperial Mausoleum to rest today. ”
Yang Ning was stunned, thinking that everything in the palace in the past few days was unexpected, the prince went out of the city in the middle of the night, and the body of the first emperor was suddenly transported away today, Duan Canghai was well-informed, but these days can be regarded as hindsight.
At this time, he saw that Duan Canghai had already come in from the side door, holding a tray in his hand, Yang Ning glanced at it, and saw that there were four gold ingots on the tray, and one gold ingot was ten taels at least.
Duan Canghai whispered a few words to Yang Ning, Yang Ning nodded slightly, and said to Fan Gong Gong with a smile: "Actually, I heard that I don't have any preferences on the fair day, so I like to taste a few sips of tea, and there is some tea and mercury here, father-in-law, please smile!" ”
Duan Canghai went over with the tray, and Gonggong Fan immediately said: "Little Marquis, this is absolutely unacceptable, how can you be so expensive." He waved his hand again and again, "I can't help it, I can't help it!" ”
Yang Ning said: "My father-in-law also knows that today is a big day for the Hou Mansion, please invite my father-in-law to have a cup of tea, and my father-in-law will not give face?" ”
"This ......!" Father-in-law Fan smiled: "If the little marquis says this, it will be disrespectful. Glancing back, a little eunuch had already stepped forward and took the tray, Grandpa Fan glanced again, and the two little eunuchs were about to retreat, Duan Canghai followed and sent it out, and stuffed a silver ingot into one of the two eunuchs.
Father-in-law Fan saw it in his eyes, smiled even more, and said: "The little marquis is really too polite, the days of dealing with him in the future will be long, and the little marquis needs to take more care of it." ”
"It should be my father-in-law who takes more care of me." Yang Ning saw that Father-in-law Fan instructed the little eunuch out, so he naturally had something to say, so he raised his hand and said, "Father-in-law, drink tea!" ”
Gonggong Fan nodded with a smile, and then lowered his voice slightly: "Little Marquis, you have a heart for the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will not hide it from you, this time the little marquis is knighted, but it is not simple, and there are many people behind it who do not agree with this." ”
"Oh?" Yang Ning looked humble, "Father-in-law, where did you start with this?" Could it be that I have offended someone? ”
"Someone went up and said some unpleasant things about the little marquis, and said that the little marquis did not have the style of the first marquis, but the little prince of your mansion had the temperament of the first marquis." Father-in-law Fan said in a low voice: "The excerpt is said to let the little prince of your mansion inherit the position of marquis, and even .....!" After looking left and right, he lowered his voice and said, "Even your Qi family has someone who says behind your back that you are not." ”
Yang Ning knew it, smiled faintly, and said: "Father-in-law, let me tell you something in my heart, my father left in a hurry, and someone wanted to plot against him, which is also what I expected." ”
Fan Gong said fairly: "The situation of the saint is actually quite similar to ...... little marquis!" After a pause, he smiled and said: "The saint attaches great importance to the little marquis, and after the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, he immediately made a decree to give the title of the little marquis, which is to read the loyalty of the Marquis of Jinyi to Dachu for several generations." ”
Yang Ning clenched his fists and arched above his left shoulder, and sighed: "Holy Longen, the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion can only swear allegiance to the death, and never let down the hard work of the Holy One." ”
Father-in-law Fan said with a smile: "The saint said, after returning to Beijing, I will talk to the little marquis well, and the little marquis can also prepare first, and then it will be good to face the saint." ”
Yang Ning didn't know if the old eunuch was saying kind words, or if the new emperor really valued the Jinyi Marquis Mansion so much, but he said with a smile on his face: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, I must be prepared." ”
Father-in-law Fan had already gotten up and said, "Little Marquis, the miscellaneous family has to rush back, so I won't stay long." ”
"Father-in-law is going to the Great Light Temple?"
Gonggong Fan nodded and said: "Exactly, the miscellaneous family has been sent to Beijing to give this will, and they will return to the saint to serve." ”
Yang Ning was a little surprised, thinking that the old eunuch had rushed back to the capital to read this holy decree, and it seemed that the new emperor really attached great importance to this matter.
Seeing off Gonggong Fan and the others, the Hou Mansion was already crowded in the courtyard, rejoicing one by one, Gu Qinghan seemed to have a stone in his heart finally falling, and said excitedly: "Ning'er, the Holy Lord has issued a will, and you will be the Marquis of Jinyi in the future, and the old Marquis and the general Quanxia will be grateful." When he said this, he couldn't help but cry.
Yang Ning sighed in his heart that the world is impermanent, two months ago, he was just a little beggar in Huize City, but now he has made a mistake, and he has become a dignified marquis of brocade, this life is really unpredictable.
