Chapter 567: The Umbrella of the People
The ministers nodded secretly.
That's right, even if it's the fifth grade, you still have to be promoted!
As soon as this example is opened, what if this dog is promoted again in the future? Promoted to become their superiors, don't you laugh off your big teeth?
No, the emperor's nonsense must be stopped!
"Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate to add an official to a dog, I hope the emperor will think twice!"
"I hope the emperor thinks twice-"
Emperor Jingming lowered his eyelids and listened to a group of courtiers who wanted to die or live to oppose it, and sneered in his heart.
Hmph, today he was determined to promote Erniu.
Seeing that Emperor Jingming didn't say anything after listening to the advice of the ministers, a speech official stood up: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that General Erniu found a girl in the ground movement in Koi Town. General Erniu saved a person, and he did have merit, but if the merit is so great that he is promoted to the rank of knight, it is really too much...... If you insist on this, where do you put Zhao Shilang and the others who have worked hard for many days? ”
The official's words immediately attracted echoes.
Emperor Jingming looked at the ministers condescendingly, and suddenly smiled: "If you talk about merit, I believe that Zhao Shilang and others have no objections, and it should be Erniu's greatest credit." ”
The ministers immediately looked at Zhao Shilang.
Zhao Shilang was slightly surprised.
When the emperor said this, did he have to tell the real credit of Erniu?
"Lord Zhao, can you speak—" The minister who was close to whispered.
"Say what?" Zhao Shilang came back to his senses.
The corners of the minister's mouth twitched, and he reminded: "The emperor said that General Erniu's merits are greater than all of you......"
Zhao Shilang nodded: "The emperor is right." ”
The minister almost didn't come up in one breath, and looked at Zhao Shilang with shocked and disdainful eyes.
I really didn't expect Zhao Shilang to be this kind of person!
Emperor Jingming was too lazy to listen to the commotion of the ministers, and said lightly: "You Aiqing don't know, the people of Koi Town can evacuate in advance and avoid the ground movement, not because the gods dreamed to warn King Yan, but because Erniu predicted the ground movement in advance!" ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept towards Yu Jin.
Yu Jin was a little surprised at first, and then raised his lips and smiled.
Half of this smile is sincere, and the other half is for Emperor Jingming.
In Yu Jin's opinion, it is a troublesome thing to have the aura of a god-man dreaming warning.
He didn't have the intention of plotting that position, he had taken this matter before because the prince refused to do it, and he had to go up by himself for the sake of more than 1,000 people.
Whoever thought that the earth movement really happened, and it fell in the hearts of those who had the intention to fight for that position, it was a big mistake.
He is not afraid of making enemies, but he can't be meaningless enemies, and living a free and easy life with Ah seems behind closed doors is what he wants.
Emperor Jingming took the initiative to solve this matter, which was one less burden for Yu Jin, and he naturally felt happy. But this happiness actually doesn't need to be revealed, the joy is just to reassure the emperor Lao Tzu.
Yu Jin didn't feel annoyed, but he sighed a little: It's really tiring to sit in that seat......
Seeing Yu Jin's relieved smile, Emperor Jingming was really relieved, and he was a little moved while being relieved.
He was not ready to let the old seven miracles add to his body, because of two considerations.
One is that the crown prince's position as the prince cannot be threatened in any way, and the other is for the sake of Lao Qi.
When the crown prince sits in his seat one day, he may not be very tolerant of a brother who has been blessed with miracles......
No matter how you think about it, Emperor Jingming feels that this is a hidden danger, and it is better to solve it as soon as possible.
And Yu Jin's reaction undoubtedly made him very pleased.
He was also worried that Lao Qitu was famous, and felt that he was biased...... Ahem, of course eccentricity is a bit eccentric, he admits this, who made the prince his only son-in-law.
But he also hopes that Lao Qi will be stable and prosperous in the future.
Emperor Jingming's words shocked the ministers.
"If you Aiqing don't believe it, you can ask Zhao Shilang and others."
"Lord Zhao, what's going on?" The ministers surrounded Zhao Shilang and asked.
Zhao Shilang stood up and told the events of the day in detail, so detailed that even Erniu's warning action was described, so that the ministers really couldn't doubt it anymore.
Emperor Jingming was quite satisfied with Zhao Shilang's explanation, glanced at the ministers and said slowly: "This time Koi Town moved, Zhao Shilang and others did have a lot of credit, but the first credit should be Erniu. I have said more than once that meritorious service should be rewarded, and there should be punishment. Erniu saved more than 1,000 people in Koi Town, do you Aiqing say that you should add officials to Erniu? ”
The ministers had nothing to say, so they had to say honestly: "Should-"
Zhao Shilang looked at Yu Jin silently.
King Yan, who stood with several princes, was still so conspicuous and outstanding.
The emperor had good intentions, and he naturally picked out King Yan with the reason for adding an official to Erniu.
From this point of view, the emperor actually loves King Yan very much.
Zhao Shilang retracted his gaze and said in his heart: If he has such an outstanding son as King Yan, he will also love and protect him.
Prince?
Ahem, the prince's kind of son doesn't exist, and he drowned directly when he was born and didn't look good......
In the end, Erniu kept the title of General Xiaotian unchanged, and jumped from the fifth rank to the fourth grade.
The ministers sighed for a while.
How many people have survived most of their lives and are still shaking under the four products, if one of their sons and nephews is the fourth product, the whole family will be regarded as a successor, and as a result, a dog has become the general of the fourth product.
It's so desperate to think about.
Next, Emperor Jingming rewarded Zhao Shilang and others, and did not promote Zhao Shilang for the time being, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that just waiting for the head of the household department to be Shangshu, Zhao Shilang is estimated to be renamed Zhao Shangshu.
Hubu Zuo Shilang smiled reluctantly, only hating that he happened to be unwell after the ground movement in Qianhe County, and missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Zhao Shilang's luck accounted for most of it.
It is not a great merit to follow the usual disaster relief, who let the town of Koi move.
The ground movement in Koi Town is nothing, but the Koi Town, which has more than 1,000 people, has only suffered a few dozen casualties, which has become a great merit, and will even be recorded in the annals of history.
What a stroke of luck!
Hubu Zuo Shilang glanced at Zhao Shilang, and then at Yu Jin, and sighed deeply in his heart.
After Emperor Jingming rewarded the outsiders, he praised Yu Jin in front of the ministers, and reluctantly mentioned the prince, and then dispersed.
When King Qi returned to King Qi's mansion, his face immediately sank.
Lao Qi is really lucky, there is such a spiritual dog.
Although the father made it clear that it was nonsense for the old seven gods to dream and warn, but the reputation of the old seven has already spread, can he still explain them to those ignorant people one by one?
Such a folk reputation was something he had dreamed of for many years, but Lao Qi easily got it.
King Qi was so jealous that he didn't know that a few days later, Qianhe County actually sent two Wanmin umbrellas, one for Zhao Shilang and the other for King Yan.
It is not uncommon for virtuous officials to receive an umbrella from the people, but it is too rare for the children of the royal family to receive an umbrella from the people.
For a time, Yu Jin became the most eye-catching figure in the court.
