The father-in-law was polite, and Liu Chengfeng naturally responded with a smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
All the things that welcome the decree are also ready, the incense case is placed horizontally in front of this father-in-law, and the rest of the people are standing with bated breath, Liu Chengfeng has nothing, not that he has already reached the point of indifference to his fame, but this time he has made great contributions, and the rewards are naturally a lot, and he also guessed in his heart that he is too young, his qualifications are still shallow, and he wants to move again in his official position, but it is impossible.
Although the promotion of military positions is not as important as that of civilian positions, there are already many invisible rules in the past hundred years, and Liu Chengfeng has already crossed too much, and the palace must also pay attention to the influence.
As for Chen Hongyu, the big and small Wang officials, Lao Huo, Li Dongdong and others, they are all a little excited, under normal circumstances, the imperial court rewards are all ordered to the Beizhen Mansion Division, and they have their own appointments, which is a great kindness for these little people, but the palace personally made a decree is extraordinary and unusual.
Chen Hongyu has just sealed the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, has jumped from a general flag to the middle-level military attache of the Jinyi Guard, and now there is a promotion, and all this is just a few years, this heart is already a little overturned, when he followed Liu Chengfeng, he relied on a sense of righteousness, or a kind of blind obedience, but when he followed Liu Chengfeng step by step to the present, he was both a little grateful to Liu Chengfeng, and quite excited.
If it weren't for the Marquis of Lianzhou, how could there be today?
Although Li Dongdong's face is not shocked, but his heart can not be exempted from excitement, he is full of poetry and books, but useless, under the aura of the clan brother, in the middle of this reality, Li Dongdong had to embark on another career path, originally thought that this was not the right way, and even very likely to fall into a bamboo basket to draw water, but he didn't think that more than a year of hard work has already had results, he watched the father-in-law take out the holy decree, his face was a little flushed, and then the father-in-law pulled his throat and said: "The holy decree, carried by heaven, the emperor said ......"
The father-in-law's voice was clear, but he was not slow to read, and after a while, the hundred words of the holy decree had been recited.
Liu Chengfeng was the first merit, and he ordered the duke, and the rest of the people, etc., to give the earl, but in addition to the knighthood and the reward of gold, silver, and silk silk, none of the entire holy decree was promoted.
But the faces of the people were filled with joy.
Liu Chengfeng, the marquis, is now directly enshrined as a duke, you must know that there is a hurdle between the marquis and the duke, and most people can't get over this hurdle in their lives, just like the Marquis of Shouning, although he is the brother of Empress Zhang, the top royal prince of the Hongzhi Dynasty, but it is more difficult to be crowned a duke than to ascend to the sky.
There are only two periods in the history of the Ming Dynasty, one is a division of the Taizu period, but most of these dukes have been convicted, and there are very few left, and now some of the main dukes of the Ming Dynasty are the heroes of the division of the Emperor Wen during the Jingnan period.
After the hereditary replacement, there are only a few dukes, and they can be counted on a few hands.
Liu Chengfeng is the prince of Hou, but no one has any gossip, his credit is really not much worse than the merit of Jing Yan, if he didn't find out the murderer behind the scenes in time, the palace would be in danger, this is a matter related to the safety of the community, and it is by no means fun.
And now, Liu Chengfeng has become the youngest duke with a foreign surname, and this kind of honor is unprecedented.
After all, the official position is only temporary, but the title is an iron rice bowl, which can be passed on to future generations, and the iron rice bowl of the Ming Dynasty is not open to supply, after all, the imperial court has to raise so many clans every year, and it is impossible to raise so many idlers, so it has always been extremely stingy with the title, and it is even more difficult for people with foreign surnames to obtain the title.
In addition to Liu Chengfeng, the rest of the people have been named an earl, although the earl is low, but it is also amazing, this time the palace is also willing, everyone is surprised, have thanked the grace, the old man is also happy to everyone: "Congratulations, tsk, the miscellaneous family has been out of the palace for so many years, I have never seen such a grace, you have now become a lord, even the miscellaneous family can not help but have some joy." ”
Chen Hongyu laughed, he was originally a martial artist, but he didn't expect to become a lord now, and said happily: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." As he spoke, he searched for a few silver tickets and stuffed them into his father-in-law's hand, while saying, "Little meaning, father-in-law don't dislike it." ”
This father-in-law must also be an old fritter in the palace, knowing that there is such a thing as announcing the good news, people are willing to give silver, which is both a grace and a festive thing, and it is not good not to take it, so he doesn't care about the identity of the other party, he happily takes it, his hand speed is extremely fast, and after rolling the silver money into his sleeve, he immediately laughs dryly: "How dare you, how dare you." ”
Everyone was lively and sent the father-in-law away.
Liu Chengfeng made a straight face and said, "Everyone comes to the lobby and has something to say." ”
He entered the lobby, everyone looked at each other, it stands to reason that he should be happy today, why is it that the Lord has a cold face, could it be that something happened?
Everyone looked a little uneasy, and then entered the main hall together, and at this time Liu Chengfeng had already sat down, a pair of eyes looked at everyone's body, these people are his henchmen, Liu Chengfeng now believes that even if they go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, they can ensure that these people are willing to go with him.
And now he encountered a thing that could never be joked, and the emperor was furious in the palace. Others don't know about this, but Liu Chengfeng knows that what he has to do next is not to let Na Wantong take root in this brocade guard no matter what, once this happens, the problem will be serious.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, not only to treat him well, let him be arrogant, and then try to cut it off. At the same time, he must not be allowed to cause too much harm. Therefore, this matter has to be discussed with these cronies of his own first, and while Wantong has not yet arrived in Beijing, he will set up a situation in advance.
Everyone sat down, Liu Chengfeng got straight to the point, and said the matter, these are all secrets in the palace, once it is spread out, it is not trivial, but Liu Chengfeng can trust these people, but there is nothing to shy away from, after speaking, Zhengse said: "These words are also related to you, but you and I share weal and woe, are your own family, so I don't shy away from you, but what you say today, you know it, and it can't be passed on to other people's ears, otherwise the palace will be punished, but it is not fun." ”
His gaze fell on Li Dongdong, and he said lightly: "Mr. Li, what do you think?" ”
Li Dongdong smiled slightly and said, "My lord, the student thinks that first of all, we must understand the attitude of the palace, whether the palace is willing for us and Wantong to tear our faces, or whether they are unwilling to tear their faces." ”
Liu Chengfeng's eyes flickered, and he said, "How do you say this?" ”
Li Dongdong said: "If the palace doesn't care about Wantong's face at all, this will be easy to do, Wantong has just arrived, and he has not yet established his prestige, and the lord only needs to entangle some military attaches to make him unable to come to power, and at that time, he will have no prestige at all." ”
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and sighed: "It is impossible for the palace to ignore Wantong, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are watching, Your Majesty has to do something no matter what, otherwise it will inevitably be blamed." After all, Wantong is the concubine's younger brother, and I won't say what happened to the concubine before her death, but now that she has returned to heaven, people die greatly, and the imperial envoys are now staring with their eyes open, so even if they want to exclude Wantong, they must not be in the open. ”
Li Dongdong nodded and said: "If this is the case, then the matter is a bit tricky, anyway, he is the commander after all, and he is different from Tongzhi and Servant, he is in charge of one side, and the adults need to disobey the yang and the yin, so they can only make some small actions secretly, but the most important thing at the moment is that the adults must firmly control the inner city and the Jubao Commercial Bank, as long as the inner city and the Jubao Commercial Bank are firmly in the hands of the Servant Mansion, there is no need to be afraid of anything." ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded.
Chen Hongyu said: "In fact, the five thousand households in the inner city have long been of the same mind as the adults, but they have to give them a reminder in advance, so that they can obediently listen to the words of the adults, it is better to do this, I will invite them to have a drink in the name of the knighthood, and also reveal some of the relationship between the adults and the new commander, in short, tell them that the commander will definitely have conflicts with the adults after taking office, let them cheer up some spirits, don't think that they can climb the commander?" ”
Listening to Chen Hongyu's words, Lao Huo couldn't help laughing and said: "In fact, the most important thing is the fireworks alley hundred households, as long as it is returned to the house, it is equivalent to pinching the money bag in the guard, adults can rest assured, the hundred households here, the humble must be in prison, without the permission of the adults, no one wants to take out a tael of silver from the hundred households." ”
Although Lao Huo is a lot older than before, he is now bolder, perhaps because his identity has been different, and after his status has changed, people have gradually gained confidence.
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "In this way, Huo Baihu should be careful, in my opinion, most of the first thing Wantong stares at is the fireworks alley." If something goes wrong, take you and ask. ”
Everyone looked at Lao Huo and couldn't help laughing.
The atmosphere is gradually relaxed, Lao Huo dares to make such bold words, it can be seen that these people who follow Liu Chengfeng now have gradually grown up, and they are no longer the little people in the past, and they have gradually gained the bearing to take charge of themselves.
In fact, what Liu Chengfeng said is not wrong, if he is Wantong, as long as he takes office, this eye must be the first time to focus on the fireworks alley, the fireworks alley is the money bag of Jinyiwei, whoever masters this place can buy people's hearts.
