Chapter 132: Hereditary Titles
Suddenly!
The people gathered in front of the governor's yamen fell silent, and the scene suddenly became extremely silent.
The four great men brought Wang Zhengxiang to the stone lion on the edge of the yamen and asked him to kneel down and wait for the will of Lord Qincha.
The expression on Wang Zhengxiang's face changed several times, sadness, anger, wrongedness, and many expressions were mixed together, making his already ordinary face look hideous and dazzling.
Watch the lively people fall silent for a moment!
Immediately, there was a noise and laughter, and the people pointed at Wang Zhengxiang.
What's more, I don't know where to get green vegetables and eggs, and they smashed them at Wang Zhengxiang from a distance of dozens of steps.
A martial artist who has practiced a few tricks a little bit, he doesn't need to use his eyes at all to accurately smash the egg in his hand on Wang Zhengxiang.
Crackling and smashing!
Poor Wang Zhengxiang was covered with egg yolks, his black hair was full of egg yolks, the official uniform that he had not had time to take off suddenly changed color, and there were a few green vegetable leaves on the top of his head.
Fortunately, Wang Zhengxiang has his back to the people, if he faces the people, I don't know what those green vegetables and eggs will smash Wang Zhengxiang into.
The people are like this, they don't know who is a good official, who is a corrupt official, and who is a minister!
In their eyes, all officials who are taken down by the imperial court are not a good thing after all!
Therefore, the green vegetables and eggs are just used to vent the evil breath in their chests.
Yang Xiaoyu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, he was afraid that if he watched it again, he would be unable to help but rescue Wang Zhengxiang.
"Wang Chong, go home!" Yang Xiaoyu jumped off the stone and left the governor's yamen with Wang Chong and his party.
On the way, Yang Xiaoyu asked: "What method should be used to measure the quality of an official?" β
"This is simple, just check his mansion and see how much silver there is, you can know whether an official is good or bad! If he is a good official who does things for the people, his mansion will definitely be as poor as water, and if he is a corrupt official, then his mansion must be piled with silver as high as a mountain. Wang Chong replied with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled, the method Wang Chong said was not true.
Some officials' mansions were poor, with three meals a day being vegetarian, and their living conditions were even worse than those of ordinary people, but they had many majestic estates outside, and some even built attic pavilions outside.
Therefore, if you want to measure the quality of an official, you can't just look at how much money they have in their mansion.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the official system of the imperial court was rotten, nine out of ten officials were greedy, and there were very few innocent officials.
In Yang Xiaoyu's view, the reason for this is not that officials in various places cannot hold themselves, but that the imperial court system is incomplete, so that many officials go astray.
Before the scholar entered the court and became an official, he studied hard for ten years.
With an upright heart to share the worries and solve problems for the country and the people, they hope to help this weak dynasty become strong with their own modest strength.
However, after joining the office, they realized that their previous ideas were too naΓ―ve, and there were intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom, and various forces were vying for power, and they were facing either clinging or sinking.
To cling to some powerful people, it is necessary to listen to the words of the powerful and work for them, so as to get the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of knight.
Such a person may not be corrupt, but he will never be an upright official.
There are also some scholars who have a bad career and come to a small remote county, and in order to satisfy their selfish desires, they begin to oppress the people, collect bribes, and sink into gold and silver.
Wang Zhengxiang is honest and honest, and he is a rare good official!
But why did he end up like this?
The reason for this is that he stands in the way of other officials, does not make friends with other officials, does not accept bribes, and obeys the law in everything.
Today, there are very few such clean officials!
Yang Xiaoyu sighed all the way, swayed back to the mansion, and he rushed to the wine table and drank alone.
Two days!
News came from the Yang Mansion and asked Yang Xiaoyu to lie down.
Under Xu Xiaoxiao's careful dressing, Yang Xiaoyu dressed neatly, got into the carriage, and walked towards Yang's mansion.
When he came to Yang's mansion, Yang Xiaoyu went straight to Yang Yong's study.
When he pushed open the door and walked in, his face was stunned.
In the room, Yang Yong smiled, his face was kind, as if it was a spring breeze!
Yang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had seen Yang Yong smile like this.
When he saw the runguang on Yang Yong's Guanlu Palace, he immediately understood why Yang Yong was so abnormal today.
"Father has been rewarded by the court?"
"Yes, yesterday Lord Qincha announced the holy decree in the governor's yamen, and his father was named Hengyang Bo by the emperor, and he was given iron coupons, which can be described as the emperor's grace!"
Yang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, Hengyang Bo is a knighthood received by a foreign minister, this is a grace, but he also gave an iron coupon, this is the emperor's grace.
It is important to know that knighthoods divide knighthoods from hereditary titles!
Whoever gives iron coupons can have his title passed on to his descendants. Passed down from generation to generation.
And the title without iron coupons is for the Liujue, and this title cannot be passed on.
For a family, Yang Yong is like a founding emperor, laying a foundation for future generations, and therefore can be admired by the descendants of later generations.
"Congratulations to my father on this honor!" Yang Xiaoyu congratulated with a smile.
Yang Yong smiled and waved his hand: "Yesterday, Lord Qincha read out the holy decree, and the governor, Lord Liang, and Lord Wang were enshrined together with his father, and some other officials also received the holy precepts. β
"What's the matter with passing on the child today?"
"Lord Qincha wants to stay in Hangzhou for a few days to secretly observe the people's livelihood and suffering, and my father and several other adults must accompany him, so it has become a matter for the capital to protect the safety of Qincha. After careful consideration for my father, I decided that you would lead someone to secretly protect Lord Chincha. β
"Why did the father choose the child, aren't there still three chief managers in the house? They are all excellent in martial arts, and it is foolproof to protect the safety of Qincha, the child does not know martial arts, and second, he has no experience in protecting others, if Qincha makes something wrong under the protection of the child, the child will not escape the blame. Yang Xiaoyu said very unhappily.
Yang Yong was in a particularly good mood today, and said with a smile: "Qin Cha is a representative saint who came to Jiangnan, how dare ordinary people assassinate Qin Cha, only the remnants of the White Lotus Sect dare to do such a big rebellion." β
At this point, Yang Yong's expression changed, and he said coldly: "The Ling family really has collusion with the White Lotus Sect, you must always pay attention to the movements of the Ling family, be wary of them making obstacles, and kill them if necessary." β
Yang Xiaoyu understood that this cheap old man was making him ready to kill people at any time.
And the object of the extermination is really the Ling family.
"Father, do you mean to let the child secretly protect the Qin Cha, once the Ling family assassinates the Qin Cha, the child will lead someone to destroy the Ling family?" Yang Xiaoyu asked uncertainly.
"No, President Ling and his father have a very good relationship, they are old friends for decades, how can their father be cruel to them, but if they really send someone to assassinate Qin Cha, it will be more than innocent."
Yang Xiaoyu asked, "If someone else comes to assassinate Lord Qincha, will the child also destroy the Ling family?" β
"That's not necessary, if someone else comes to assassinate Lord Chincha, you just need to keep Lord Chincha safe!" Yang Yong replied.
Yang Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, he guessed that Yang Yong asked him to secretly protect Lord Qincha, mostly for the sake of him finding out the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.
Moreover, he also told Yang Yong about the Ling family.
"There are less than 100 guards under the child, and besides, Chen Yingren has not yet come back from going out to run errands, so he is weak, and it may be difficult to protect the safety of Lord Qincha." Yang Xiaoyu's head wrinkled slightly, and he said loudly.
"You don't have to worry about this, when Lord Qincha goes out on patrol, there will be a master of the judges, once an assassin is assassinated, they will be the first to block the assassin, you first send someone to the city guards for help, and then lead someone to come forward to rescue Lord Qincha."
"Yes!" Yang Xiaoyu didn't care what Yang Yong meant by this arrangement, nodded and agreed.
Then, Yang Yong ordered some trivial matters again, and let Yang Xiaoyu leave.
