Chapter 3 Edict to Lingnan (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and recommendations)
Since the county is not willing to come back, then the county duke will be added, and the title will be added to the rank, and the county hou will be directly crowned as the county duke. This kind of thing is not without precedent, with Zhao Chen's status in Lingnan today, he also deserves the title of a county duke.
Not to mention anything else, isn't Feng An, who is also in Lingnan, also crowned as the title of county duke?
It was none other than an old Confucian behind Kong Yingda, who not only stood up and proposed that Li Er give Zhao Chen the title of Duke of the County, but also said that the reason was the Tao.
It's just that when this person said this, it inevitably made people feel a strange feeling. It was you who stood up to snatch the school palace from others before, and now it is you who suggest that Your Majesty give people the title of duke of the county.
Even if the words are good, it will inevitably make people suspicious!
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's very inappropriate to discuss this!" The old man's voice fell, and Qin Shubao, who was sitting there, secretly shouted a poisonous plan in his heart.
Immediately, without waiting for others to come out to second, he took the first step, stepped into the middle of the main hall, bowed to Li Er, and spoke.
People who were already suspicious of Lao Ru's words before, when they saw Qin Shubao standing up and opposing it urgently, their eyes suddenly showed a look that was really true.
reacted quickly, frowned slightly, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and then, when he looked at the old Confucian over there, he couldn't help but follow Qin Shubao in his heart, and said that it was so poisonous!
The titles of the Tang Dynasty are also divided into inside and outside, just compare Qin Shubao with Yuan Junzhang, who only returned to the Tang Dynasty not long ago, both of them are the princes of the emperor who were enshrined by His Majesty the Emperor, but the status of the two in the Tang Dynasty. Can it be the same?
By analogy, Lao Ru proposed that His Majesty the Emperor crown Zhao Chen as the prince of the county. also compare Feng An, if it is His Majesty the Emperor. really enshrined Zhao Chen as the title of county duke, which is equivalent to marking Zhao Chen's body with the mark of an outsider.
The result of this is that even if Zhao Chen is a county duke, in fact, the title is not as good as before, and the marquis that His Majesty promised to seal is noble!
No matter how they quarreled before, in the final analysis, they actually took Zhao Chen as a member of Datang and quarreled. And if, once he was made a county duke. Invisibly, everyone will be invisible, and the eyes of Zhao Chen have become different.
Poison! It's really poisonous!
Li Er, who was above the main hall, frowned slightly, and instantly reacted, the hidden stakes behind this matter!
"I also think this is very inappropriate!" Li Er's eyes glanced at the old man lightly, and as he spoke, his gaze turned to Qin Shubao, and asked, "Then Qin Aiqing has any good plans?" ”
"Your Majesty. In this drought in Shandong, Lao Chen didn't know if Zhao Chen could solve this matter! When Qin Shubao heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed. After a slight pause, he suddenly sighed and looked at Li Er in the main hall. He bowed and said, "However, since there is no other way now. The old minister is willing to go to Lingnan again! ”
"If Guogong leaves empty-handed like this, I'm afraid that he will return empty-handed!" It was previously proposed that Li Er add Zhao Chen as the old Confucian of the county. Hearing Qin Shubao's words, he immediately spoke coldly beside him.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that if the prince goes like this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate!" As soon as Lao Ru's words fell, a person immediately came out of class, bowed to Li Er, and spoke loudly.
When Qin Shubao heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes suddenly looked coldly at the person who spoke, and when he looked at it, the person who spoke also happened to look at Qin Shubao, and as soon as the eyes of the two made contact, Qin Shubao's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Because, the person who stood up to support Lao Confucianism was none other than the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, who has always been known for his resourcefulness in the Tiance Mansion.
"Fang Aiqing, I also think I should add Zhao Chen as the title of the county duke?" Li Er's words can be ignored, but Fang Xuanling's words are quite important. Since Fang Xuanling stood up to support Lao Ru's words, Li Er was suddenly confused.
"Your Majesty has said before, this discussion is very inappropriate!" When Fang Xuanling heard this, he bowed to Li Er and said, "Weichen also feels that this discussion is very inappropriate!" ”
originally thought that Fang Xuanling stood up and seconded his old confucian, but when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, he immediately snorted lightly.
"Then what is Fang Aiqing's good plan?" Li Eryi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Fang Xuanling was not seconding the words of the old confucian, looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he first smiled at Qin Shubao next to him, and just when Qin Shubao felt inexplicable, Fang Xuanling, who listened to it, said to His Majesty the Emperor sitting in the main hall: "Marriage!" ”
Then, without waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to ask, Fang Xuanling continued: "Zhao Chen's son has just reached the crown this year, as far as Weichen knows, he has not yet been married, and it just so happens that His Majesty's Xiangcheng has also reached the throne, so Weichen thinks that it is better to be married by His Majesty to show the emperor's grace!" ”
Li Er, who was above, was stunned when he heard this, and Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao below were also stunned.
Given by His Majesty, the princess will be married to Zhao Chen, plus a marquis, it is true, the emperor's grace is vast!
Cheng Yanjin's eyes glanced at Emperor Li Er above, and then turned his head to look at Qin Shubao beside him, and after a while, he suddenly couldn't help sighing, looking like he had lost a good treasure.
It's too late! Fang Xuanling, this kid is really unkind! This is not clear, Zhao Chen's kid is Brother Qin's internal son-in-law, you are obviously robbing people!
If the princess is married, then what is the matter with Yuyan's girl!
Qin Shubao was also dumbfounded, he didn't react for a long time, he hadn't really thought about it before, but when he came to attend the court meeting at the beginning of the year, Li Shentong made a joke.
But afterwards, he didn't go to his heart, but now it's good, Fang Xuanling proposed that His Majesty marry Zhao Chen and marry the princess.
What a miscalculation! What a miscalculation!
Qin Shubao was there, secretly regretting it, but the ministers in the hall listened to Fang Xuanling's words and nodded frequently.
His Majesty gave marriage, the princess married Zhao Chen, plus the previous marquis, it can be regarded as a supreme honor, if so, Zhao Chen is still unwilling to come back, then it has to make people wonder, what is Zhao Chen's purpose!
Thinking of this, the ministers looked at His Majesty the Emperor in the main hall with their eyes, this matter is ultimately for His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision, and it depends on His Majesty the Emperor whether he agrees to turn a foreign minister into the emperor's son-in-law.
"Fang Aiqing, this is a very good discussion!" Li Er sat on it and was silent for a long time, and while the ministers were waiting, he finally seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, looked at Fang Xuanling below and said: "Then according to Fang Aiqing's proposal, I will immediately draft an edict to enshrine Zhao Chen, the assassin of Nanfuzhou, as the founding county candidate, and give the princess of Xiangcheng to marry!" ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" As soon as Li Er's words came out, Fang Xuanling below suddenly bowed down and said loudly. With Fang Xuanling's opening, the ministers below suddenly came out of class and loudly seconded the proposal.
Naturally, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin were also among the ministers, although they had helpless expressions on their faces, they still followed the ministers and loudly seconded the proposal.
Zhao Chen's title has not changed, he is still the previous marquis, but this time, he was married by His Majesty the Emperor, and suddenly became a relative of the emperor, which is really the supreme honor of his subordinates!
Now that the title has been decided, the next step is to select a candidate to go to Lingnan. The last time I sent Qin Shubao to go, the result was in vain, not because Qin Shubao was not dedicated, but because Zhao Chen was unwilling to return to Chang'an at all.
Li Er didn't want to come back again this time, even with this supreme honor, he would always be a little uneasy in his heart, Zhao Chen was worried about Chang'an, and he was afraid that there would be a deviation in case the time came.
Thinking of this, Li Er's eyes looked at the King of Yong'an over there, King Yong'an is a royal family, and he is a prince, since Zhao Chen ran away because of him, then King Yong'an will go to Lingnan instead of him, and call back Zhao Chen!
"Father, the son is willing to go to Lingnan in person, and the father will pass on the edict!" However, before Li Er's words could be spoken, Li Chengqian below had already grabbed ahead of Li Er, bowed down and spoke.
As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, Li Chengqian is now the crown prince, and he is the future prince of the empire.
And Lingnan is thousands of miles away, the mountains and rivers are high and deep along the way, and the dangerous roads are heavy, if the prince goes to Lingnan in person, once something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.
So, without waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak, the ministers went out one after another and tried their best to hinder it.
Li Er originally heard Li Chengqian's words, and his face was extremely gloomy for a moment, but now he saw that the ministers were out of work one after another, looking down, Li Chengqian, who was standing in front of the ministers, suddenly spoke: "Since the prince is willing to pass on the edict to Lingnan for me, I will follow the prince's words and play it accurately!" ”
Set? The ministers hindered for a long time, but His Majesty the Emperor was still on play, and when he heard His Majesty the Emperor's play, the ministers were stunned for a moment. The emperor said that since it had been played, there was no reason to take it back.
Subsequently, Li Er ordered that Duan Zhixuan personally lead the Xuanjia Army and the prince Liulu to rush to Lingnan from now on, pass the edict to Zhao Chen, and immediately rush back to Chang'an.
"The surname Fang is too unkind!" ended the court meeting, settled the matter, and as soon as he walked out of the imperial city, Cheng Yanjin suddenly scolded angrily.
Qin Shubao next to him listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, but he just chuckled lightly and didn't make any comments. Anyway, the matter has already been decided, and it is useless to say anything else, this kid will become His Majesty's son-in-law!
"Brother, you're so willing to let that kid go!" Cheng Yanjin was so angry that he couldn't do it, and when he saw Qin Shubao next to him silent, he immediately looked at Qin Shubao and said, "It's just someone else, that kid is a fairy disciple!" Just let it go, isn't it a pity? ”
"What if it's a pity?" Qin Shubao finally couldn't stand Cheng Bitingjin's repeated questioning, and also looked at Cheng Bitanjin and said, "Your Majesty, can you still resist the decree?" ”
"Why not?" When Cheng Yanjin heard this, his eyes suddenly flickered slightly, and he suddenly looked at the old brother and said: "This matter, others can't, that kid is different from others!" ”
As he spoke, Cheng Yanjin suddenly came up to Qin Shubao's side and whispered something, and the corners of Qin Shubao's mouth suddenly twitched like a wind. (To be continued......)
