This time, the Yamen gatehouse came to report that Lord Geng, the governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture, accompanied a father-in-law from the palace to visit, and was waiting in the flower room.

Father-in-law from the palace? Could it be Gonggong Li? Haha, this time I captured Jianwen's eldest son Zhu Wenkui and Cheng Ji, one of the core figures, and killed and injured countless Jianwen Yu Party strongholds in the southwest, killing, wounding, and capturing countless Jianwen Yu Parties, which is a very big credit. I don't know what the reward will be this time.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly changed his official robe and hurried to the flower room.

There were a few little eunuchs standing at the door, and when they entered the room, they saw that it was really Gonggong Li, Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "See Gonggong Li for his humble position." ”

Gonggong Li smiled and said, "Lord Yang doesn't have to be polite. He glanced at Geng Zhizhou. Geng Zhizhou immediately understood, bowed and retreated. The little eunuch at the door closed the door.

Li Gong said fairly: "Lord Yang, please kneel down and accept the order." Yang Qiuchi hurriedly knelt down.

Gonggong Li took out a golden scroll from his arms, unfolded it carefully, and read aloud: "Yang Qiuchi, the magistrate of Yuanzhou Tongji and Qingxi County, Erhu Guangzhen, works hard, honors and favors, and rewards diligence with Zhao. I hereby take Qin Ente Fenger Zhenyuan Earl, Fengtianjing is difficult to push the sincerity and keep the text of the minister, Lu 900 stones, not allowed hereditary, promoted to the governor of Bazhou, Sichuan, Xizhi order. Chin this. ”

Yang Qiuchi was confused, except for understanding what he was the governor of Bazhou, Sichuan, the rest were at a loss. Gonggong Li knew that he had limited ink in his stomach, so he smiled and explained: "Lord Yang, the emperor not only promoted you to be the governor of Bazhou, Sichuan, from the official of the fifth grade, but also named you the uncle of Zhenyuan." It's a great joy. ”

Yang Qiuchi was still at a loss. Gonggong Li sighed a few times, and then said: "Lord Yang is really a good general, not long after he first arrived in Zhenyuanzhou, he swept away the important nest hidden by Jianwen's Yu Party in one fell swoop, captured Jianwen's eldest son Zhu Wenkui and his right-hand man Cheng Ji, the emperor's Longyan Dayue, praised you for not living up to the emperor's favor, and this is the special case to give you a knighthood as a reward." ”

"You know, in terms of food alone, the earl is higher than the first grade. Gong, Hou, and Bo can be in charge of the five general and six armies, and if they come out, they can lead the general seal as the marshal governor, and Yang Daren can be knighted from the official of the five grades, which is really unprecedented and unprecedented. It shows that the emperor attaches great importance to you. Hey, hey, hey. ”

The knighthood of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two types: clan and meritorious relatives. The titles of the relatives of the meritorious servants are divided into duke, marquis, and earl, and it is stipulated that only the military merits of the society can be knighted. Among them, all those who made outstanding achievements in the battle of Jingnan of Ming Chengzu were knighted as "Fengtian Jingjing is difficult to push sincerity", Yang Qiuchi exterminated most of the Jianwen Yu Party this time, and captured Zhu Wenkui and Cheng Ji, which was also regarded as the follow-up part of the Battle of Jingnan, so he was also knighted in accordance with this rule.

The dukes, marquis, and earls of the Ming Dynasty only had titles and food titles, and there were no fiefdoms. And Shilu is nothing to Yang Qiuchi, who has received the property of the three rich people, and what he gets is just a good title.

Yang Qiuchi understood now, the emperor gave himself a title, although this title has no real power, and the salary can be understood as an honorary title, but this earl is still very popular.

Yang Qiuchi shouted three times, took it respectfully, stood up, and looked at it again, and then respectfully put it away.

Gonggong Li said with a smile: "Lord Yang, there is also a holy decree, which is for Lord Yang's mother and wife, please return to Wuchang with me in two days to issue the decree, and after Lord Yang settles down at home, you can go to Sichuan to take up your post." ”

Yang Qiuchi was pleasantly surprised: "My mother and my wife also have it?" ”

"Yes, Lord Yang was named an earl, of course this old mother and lady will also be stained, this is called Mrs. Haoming, in the future, if you have a son, you will also be canonized."

Yang Qiuchi grinned and thought of it, by the way, if there is a saying called "sealing the wife and the shadow", hehe, interesting. Hurriedly asked, "When will we leave?" ”

"Don't worry, you first start to hand over the affairs of Qingxi County to the adjutant's agent, Geng Zhizhou will accompany me to Miao Village to issue a holy decree to Yun Tianqing, and then we will set off for Wuchang."

Yang Qiuchi was pleasantly surprised: "What kind of official did the emperor give to the lord of Yunzhai?" ”

"The lord of Yunzhai led the Miao soldiers this time to assist Lord Yang in suppressing the Jianwen Yu Party, and his achievements were outstanding, and the emperor ordered him to be canonized as the 'Auxiliary State Zuo Shengmiao King', and led all the Miao people in the territory of Zhenyuanzhou."

That's great! Yang Qiuchi was very happy, he originally had the intention to accompany him to promulgate the holy decree, but first, he was accompanied by Geng Zhizhou, it was not necessary, and secondly, he was still a little worried that he would see Yunlu, and he always felt quite guilty about her, and he didn't dare to see her.

Gonggong Li told Yang Qiuchi that Song Yun'er also made meritorious contributions in this big break of the Jianwenyu Party, but she was a woman and could not be an official, so the credit was attributed to her father Song Tongzhi, and the emperor had decreed that Song Tongzhi would be promoted to the prefect of Ningguo Mansion. In addition, Geng Zhizhou, Zhao Jiangzong and others who made meritorious contributions this time all had their own rewards, and the soldiers who died in the war also had bereavement pensions and posthumous awards.

Yang Qiuchi was very happy for them when he heard it.

Gonggong Li said in a low voice: "Lord Yang, do you know why the emperor sent you to Bazhou, Sichuan to be an official this time?" ”

"Could it be that you found Jianwen's traces there?" There is no need to guess, Yang Qiuchi already knows that if Jianwen is not caught for a day, the emperor will not let himself be stable for a day.

"Exactly!" Gonggong Li nodded, "However, although the traces of the Jianwen Yu Party's activities there have been discovered, these thieves have been secretive and have not been able to catch them, nor can they find the location of their lair. That's why the emperor sent you. I hope that Lord Yang can serve the country and make new contributions! ”

Yang Qiuchi bowed down and said: "The humble duty must do your best to repay the emperor's kindness, bow to the best, and die!" ”

The determination is sonorous and powerful, but it sounds familiar, how can it be the same as what Zhuge Liang said.

Gonggong Li nodded with satisfaction.

Yang Qiuchi now knows how to be an official very well, so he naturally prepared a generous gift for Gonggong Li, of course, Gonggong Li smiled and took Geng Zhizhou to Miao Village to issue an edict.

Yang Qiuchi happily returned to the inner office, and as soon as he said that he had been promoted and knighted, Song Yun'er, Song Qing and Hong Aya were all happy, jumping and jumping around Yang Qiuchi. Song Yun'er was even happier when she heard that she had given birth to her father's official because of her own merits.

Subsequently, the girls heard Yang Qiuchi say that they would return to Wuchang without saying anything, and they were even more excited. Hong Aya immediately said that she would make a good table of banquets and celebrate the young master and count tonight.

This night, Yang Qiuchi called the seven sisters such as Shuang'er, Xue'er and Ke'er to celebrate with all the beauties, and they were happy.

After all the arrangements were put up, Grandpa Li also returned.

Hearing that Yang Qiuchi was going to be transferred to Bazhou, Sichuan, Yun Tianqing rushed to see him off with his son Yun Xuan. At the banquet, Yang Qiuchi asked about Yunlu, Yun Tianqing only said that she was sick and couldn't come to see her off, Yang Qiuchi was very melancholy, and after the wine feast was dispersed, he secretly took out Yunlu's embroidered insoles to play, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

On the second day, all the bureaucrats, scribes, officials and squires of Qingxi County and the squires of the city came to see them off, and they were sent to the Shili Changting Pavilion before waving goodbye.

The group set off for Wuchang. There was nothing to say all the way, and this day I came to Wuchang City.

Qian Bu's political envoy, Shi Daren, and Jinyiwei Qianhu, all of whom have already received the news and walked out of the city.

After meeting, they already knew that Yang Qiuchi was made the Earl of Zhenyuan, and they all said hello to Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi said that he had a treat to celebrate tonight, and returned to the Yang Mansion in Wuchang with this group of sons and Gonggong Li.

Mother Yang and the others had already received the news, and they also notified Bai Sumei's mother and daughter to come, and a group of people stood at the gate and waited.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi's dusty appearance, Yang's mother was happy and sad at the same time, holding Yang Qiuchi's hand, and couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

Feng Xiaoxue also stepped forward to pull Yang Qiuchi, called her husband, and tears fell down. Qin Zhihui and Bai Sumei also cried with joy in the back.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly comforted Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue, and beckoned Gonggong Li and others to enter the mansion.

After Yang Qiuchi left last time, Qian Bu's political envoy, Lord Shi, Luo Qianhu and others were all experienced in officialdom for a long time, and naturally they often came to Yang's mansion to ask for warmth, so they were also familiar with Yang Mu and others. Mother Yang hurriedly ordered to invite all the adults into the mansion quickly.

When a group of people came to the lobby, Yang Qiuchi told Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue that the emperor decreed that they should be canonized and asked them to kneel down to receive the order.

Mother Yang panicked when she heard it, she had never received the holy decree, after her son became an official, Mother Yang also learned some of the prestige of the officials, but this is the first time to receive the holy decree, fortunately, Feng Xiaoxue is more courageous, and her husband has a support on the side, so she knelt down with her mother, and knelt down and kowtowed one step back.

Gonggong Li took out a golden scroll from his arms, unfolded it carefully, and read in a sharp voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Erhu Guangzhen Yuanzhou Tongzhi and Qingxi County Zhixian Yang Qiuchi's mother, Enzhang tin, the mother is the same. Filial piety to Chongxian, the son is not obvious, with Shen Xun life, in order to show the front emblem. Qin Enfeng is hereby named Mrs. Zhenyuan. Chin this. ”

Mother Yang didn't understand a word except for her son's name, and knelt there in a daze, until Gonggong Li said in a low voice: "Old lady, don't thank you for receiving the order!" ”

Mother Yang trembled and said long live and took the holy decree.

Yang Qiuchi helped her up, Yang's mother still didn't understand what was going on, Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Mother, the emperor named me the Earl of Zhenyuan, and canonized you as the Lady of Haoming Zhenyuan." ”

Now Mother Yang understood, but she was a peasant woman, she had never experienced this kind of thing, it came too suddenly, she couldn't react for a while, she was surprised and happy and opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

Qin Zhihui and Song Qing hurriedly came over to help Mother Yang sit down on the side. In the field, Feng Xiaoxue was still kneeling there and did not move.

Gonggong Li took out a scroll from his bosom again, unfolded it carefully, and read: "Yang Qiuchi, the wife of Yang Qiuchi, the magistrate of Yuanzhou Tongzhi and Qingxi County, Erhu Guangzhen, is Feng's wife, Keqin Ned, and Yier's house. The good ministers appeased their friends, and relied on the help of the lady Kuang Xiang. Praise the order model, style Pei Xinlun. Qin Enfenger is hereby regarded as the wife of Zhenyuan. Chin this. ”

Although Feng Xiaoxue was calmer than Mother Yang, after all, it was the first time she had experienced such a thing, and when she shouted long live thanksgiving, her voice trembled, and she took the holy decree with trembling hands. Feng Xiaoxue's personal maid, Fluttershy, stepped forward to help Feng Xiaoxue up.

Qin Zhihui, Song Qing, Bai Sumei's mother and daughter, Song Yun'er and others all came up to say hello to Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue. The two of them only came back to their senses at this time, and they also cried with joy.
