25. Add officials to knighthood

Miao Nian's honor is here, it is a thousand years, and it will be stormy. There are new poems in the horizontal lance, pitching pots and singing, and Wu Confucianism. The characters of the Merry Holy Dynasty are considered brocade clothes and difficult to avoid soft red dust. The feather forest of Qiongdao is clear, and the stars and moon are dusk. Youyouxuan went down to Dongqin. The door is full of guests. Watching the drama Caixuantang, spending money and wine, and rejuvenating in harmony. Life matters, loyalty and filial piety, but Tu Zhong and Yun Lu do not follow. This autumn light is just right, and the dragon is reheinous and new.

At the beginning of the starry month, the voices are boiling.

It is very rare that the emperor and queen did not come hand in hand, the emperor and the crown prince supported the queen mother, the queen walked under them like an angry little daughter-in-law, and the four concubines followed, glancing at the queen in front of them from time to time.

The Queen Mother sits on the wide chair of the main seat, the Empress is on either side of the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince sits under the Emperor, and the Fourth Concubine is under the Empress.

After the Queen Mother sat down, she swept her eyes over the princes, until she landed on me, beckoning to me:

"Qi'er, what are you doing so far away from the mourning family, today is your birthday banquet, come and sit next to grandma!"

Yes? I still want to hide in the crowd and hope that the killer won't find me!

The emperor said softly and rarely: "Wuqi, why don't you come over quickly?" I'm going to give you a birthday gift! ”

I stepped forward to meet the surprised eyes of hundreds of people and the jealous eyes of more than a dozen princes and princesses.

When I was five steps away from the emperor, I knelt down and saluted.

The emperor didn't let me get up, but motioned to Shi Mengting beside him to read out the holy decree:

Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Le Wuqi is young and promising, seized 10,000 taels of stolen silver, swept away 17 corrupt officials, punished rape and eliminate evil, Qingzheng Sheji, meritorious work, Prince Fengyu, hereditary replacement, gave a gold medal to avoid death, walked in the palace, and served in the military department, Qin this!

Crows, finch, none, sounds.

I counted in my heart: one, two, three, fried!

"The emperor must not!" The first to speak was Prime Minister Du Zhong, "The king with a different surname represents the decline of the royal family, and there is no foreign surname to be named a prince. ”

The prime minister opened his mouth, and the rest of the people seconded it.

There is no suspicion in the country, the princes and nobles only have a job and no fiefdom, and generally the emperor gives a certain word in his name to someone, and that person is the highest rank in the same rank, if he is happy to go to the banquet, he must sit in the first place of the country. And Prince Yu is the head of all princes, and the prince is above 10,000 people.

Yan Qingshui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Le Wuqi has been living in the rivers and lakes for six years, maybe he has been contaminated with some evil spirit, and as soon as he returns to Beijing, the Le family will be destroyed tragically, and the emperor will not be able to keep him by his side!" ”

The queen spoke: "Le Wuqi, this child has had a bad fate since he was a child, and he was tragically destroyed, and now he is alone, it is better to let the national teacher come to see if he is really contaminated with something unclean." ”

What if the emperor is a son? His true identity will never be seen, after all, he is a foreign surname to the outside world, compared to the prince, Le Wuqi is much less of a threat to the crown prince, and the emperor gives his nephew the title of prince and does not seal the son of other palace concubines, and the queen is actually a little happy in her heart.

I can finally meet the national teacher!

An old figure stepped forward and knelt tremblingly beside me, when suddenly a grin fell on top of me, and in desperation I grabbed his buttocks, but touched a fluffy tail.

I think of a little beggar who would have been scared to death if he had been scared to death, and he would have been most afraid of foxes!

The national teacher finally stood firm, his gray beard dragged to the ground, and the age spots and folds on his face were really different from that beautiful son. He looked left and right around me, and from time to time he was surprised to himself: "Back to the emperor and queen, Prince Yu is a nobleman, extravagant, and evil. The emperor has dragon qi to protect his body, and the evil is not close to it. ”

Evil is not close? The vixen is right next to me! I know he can hear me.

Before the emperor could speak, Yan Qingshui hurriedly said, "Isn't the national teacher old and confused?" Le Wuqi hasn't accepted the order yet, why is it Prince Yu? ”

The gray fox looked at Yan Qingshui with a look of "you don't understand": "Lord Yan, the poor road is something that you see with your heart, and Prince Yu is indeed the life of one person and ten thousand people." ”

What a cunning old fox, he has always been worried that I will seek revenge on the emperor and start a war, and he actually said in front of hundreds of officials that I am the life of one person, even if I want to take revenge, people also know that I am doomed to fail without the emperor's fate!

"The national teacher is really bright-eyed, and it is actually the will of the first emperor to be the prince of Fengle Wuqi." The emperor pushed the boat down the river.

Everyone was stunned again, I wasn't born when the first emperor died!

The emperor carefully took out a holy decree from his bosom, although it was old, it was not worn, and it could be seen that it had been carefully kept for decades.

The holy decree was given to Princess Chaoyang by the first emperor.

"If the horse is not good for Chaoyang, Chaoyang can bring his children back to the palace, and the emperor of later generations must regard the princess as a pearl and the princess's children as his own. If the will is violated, the emperor of the future generation should share half of the princess of Chaoyang! ”

Many people originally participated in a palace banquet and opened their eyes, but they didn't expect the thunder to roll! The secret decrees of the first emperor have come out.

The emperor also pretended to be helpless: "Since the Zhongqing family does not agree to make him king, I have to cut off half of the country to him!" ”

There was an uproar in the square.

Du Zhong still didn't give up: "But Princess Chaoyang didn't say that Le Mang treated her badly, so there is no need to do what the holy decree says." ”

"This decree is a relic of the princess, and together with the holy decree is this letter of resignation."

The emperor took out a letter from the mezzanine of the holy decree and opened it and sent it to Du Zhong.

"In order to marry Le Mang, the princess was framed by Le Mang's concubines, which caused the husband and wife to separate, and the princess has been enduring humiliation, and finally got a letter of resignation and ended up depressed. Once I was hindered by recklessness and couldn't take Wuqi into the palace to raise me, but now Wuqi is right in front of me, do I want to ignore the will of the first emperor, ignore the princess's kindness, and be an ungrateful person? ”

"Okay, Qi'er, hurry up and take the order, the national teacher has always been able to see the heavens, he said that you are the order of one person under ten thousand people, and what the emperor does is just to comply with the mandate of heaven."

The Queen Mother, who has not spoken, spoke, and the dust has settled.

More than 30 years ago, Wuguo was only a small country, and the Queen Mother, as the queen, fought with the first emperor to conquer the countries, and spent more than ten years to unify the Central Plains, so that there is now a vast territory of Wuguo.

And the queen mother is not only the queen mother in the hearts of her subjects, but also the goddess of war without a country.

"It's so difficult for the mourning family to just want to be close to their grandchildren, and sure enough, people are useless, and no one is convinced of me, the old woman, the first emperor, Xi'er and Xin'er are all gone, and the mourning family can only go over there to enjoy the joy of family."

These words can be said to not give the emperor a little face.

"The Queen Mother! It's the sons who are not filial, and they always make you unhappy! ”

The emperor knelt in front of the queen mother, so he knelt down in the square.

It's time for me to come forward, I fell on the knees of the Queen Mother and said:

"Grandma, grandchildren don't need any false names, besides, grandchildren are still young and can't bear the heavy responsibility of the military department, or it's more comfortable to supervise the imperial history, and grandchildren also want to spend more time with grandma, so please ask the emperor to take back his life!"

I originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask for an official position, but I changed my mind when I saw the Queen Mother's aging face, but it was scolded by the people, should I leave the Queen Mother because of this? The Queen Mother is the only one who is unconditionally good to me, so what's the harm in going to the soup for her?

"Grandma doesn't want her grandchildren to be overworked, you can continue to be your little imperial history, but this prince's position is the will of your dead ghost grandfather, and the gold medal is a birthday gift from the mourning family, and the emperor has no right to take it away, you must take these two things. If anyone hits you without opening their eyes, the three souls of the mourning family will be scared away! Only when you are above 10,000 people, will those bullies who are afraid of the hard not dare to touch you, and the mourning family can enjoy their old age in peace. ”

At this moment, Yao Zheng and Duanmu Nobuo, who were facing the loess with their backs to the night sky, were drenched in cold sweat.

The position of the squire of the military department was only added by the emperor at will in order to echo the queen mother's gift, and if I accept it, I really can't do it.

"It's all the grandson's fault, it's my grandmother's worry, and my grandson took the gift from you and the emperor. Today is the grandson's birthday, how can it be like the last dynasty, grandma should let everyone get flat first! ”

"Okay, get up, everyone with long eyes will recognize it in the future, this is Prince Yu, the grandson of the mourning family, whoever dares to touch him will be guilty of the following crimes, and the crime should be punished!"

"The ministers obey."

"If you are tired, go back first, and you can have a feast. Qi'er, the mourning family has ruined your birthday, and you will be asked to eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival next month. ”

"As long as I'm with my grandmother, every day is like a birthday!"

I've slapped my sycophants loudenough, and I think tomorrow there will be a new crime: flattery.
