Chapter 116: Adding an official to the lord and giving the mansion
After this sneak attack, Luo Xuan and the others did not dare to take it lightly. Fortunately, nothing like that happened again later, and Guo Xiaoxiao arrived in Beijing safely.
Luo Xuan found an inn for Guo Xiaoxiao and a few people to stay, and took the army to meet the saint.
In the court, a man who was not confused was dressed in a Ming and yellow dragon robe, wearing a crown and sitting on the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme, accepting the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials.
"Xuanluo Xuanji." The man said.
Immediately after that, the eunuch beside the throne raised his voice and shouted: "Xuanluo Xuanji!" ”
Outside the palace, another eunuch preached: "Xuanluo Xuanji!" ”
Luo Xuan's armor has not been taken off, and the old wounds on his face show his heroic posture. He walked towards the Hall of Light step by step, his steps heavy and steady. The civil and military officials were divided into several columns, and there was a road in the middle.
Luo Xuan calmly walked in front of the saint, clasped his fists on one knee and said, "The last general will see Your Majesty!" ”
"General Luo is flat."
Luo Xuan got up slowly, looked up and saw the man in front of him clearly, this person was Emperor Wanli, the grandson of Emperor Jiajing. Compared with Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Wanli can be regarded as living more clearly.
Emperor Wanli said again: "General Luo has traveled far to the north this time, and it is really hard. ”
"If it is hard work, the soldiers of the last general are several times harder than the last general."
"Aiqing returned from this great victory, pacified Jiangnan, and expelled the Japanese invaders, and I am very pleased. I have already ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a list of merits, and I will not be less rewarded. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Xuan knelt down again as he spoke. After all, in front of the emperor, it still has to be done.
The eunuch spoke in his yin and yang voice again: "General Luo is brave and strategic, invincible, loyal and patriotic, and is really an example in the army. ”
When the eunuch saw that Luo Xuan was still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed and did not make a sound, the eunuch said, "General Luo, thank you." ”
Luo Xuan knocked deeply, and then said: "Your Majesty, the last general still has a few words to say. ”
Emperor Wanli frowned: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"The last general's grandfather's surname is Luo, but it is ...... The son of the prince of Zhenguo. Luo Xuan carefully worded, "When Emperor Jiajing, the Duke of Zhenguo was wrongfully humiliated and was deposed from the title by Emperor Jiajing. The last general, as the bloodline of the prince of Zhenguo, couldn't bear to see his great-grandfather wronged. Weekend...... I don't want any reward, I just ask Your Majesty to overturn the case for my great-grandfather. ”
At this time, one of the civil and military officials spoke up: "The case of Zhenguo Gong has already had a result when Emperor Jiajing was in power. Moreover, the age is long, and the human and physical evidence of that year is no longer complete. ”
Emperor Wanli nodded: "Well, what the waiter of the Ministry of Rites said makes sense. ”
Luo Xuan bowed again: "Your Majesty, my great-grandfather's case is full of suspicions, and it was no longer appropriate to make a final decision back then. The last general was afraid that his great-grandfather would not be able to rest in peace under Jiuquan, so he implored His Majesty to overturn the case for his great-grandfather. ”
Liu Quandao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "Your Majesty, if you want to overturn the case, it will definitely involve a lot of personnel back then. Moreover, this case was originally decided by Emperor Jiajing. If the case is overturned rashly, wouldn't that be contempt for Emperor Jiajing's authority? ”
"Why do I sound like I want to cover up Lord Liu's words?" Luo Xuan squinted at Liu Quan, "To overturn the case is to find out the matter and clear up the grievances of the wronged." Lord Liu, this is using the face of Emperor Jiajing to block the arrows of those villains, right? ”
"Your Majesty......"
"Okay, today is the day to celebrate the official and knighthood, so don't talk about these old things." As long as Emperor Wanli thought that Emperor Jiajing would be involved, he felt physically and mentally exhausted and didn't want to speak.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Xuan clenched his fists and pleaded with Emperor Wanli, "If the prince of Zhenguo is wronged for a day, the last general will not be at ease for a day." The last general is willing to give up all his fame, and only ask His Majesty to return justice to the prince of Zhenguo! ”
"I'm tired, so let's stand down." Emperor Wanli pretended to pinch the bridge of his nose.
The eunuch said: "Retreat!" ”
Emperor Wanli got up and walked into the inner hall with the support of the eunuch.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Xuan knelt down and chased after him, "Your Majesty! ”
The civil and military officials slowly dispersed, Luo Xuan glanced back at Liu Quan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, got up, patted his knees, shook his armor and walked out.
"General Luo is now knighted, and his status in the court is beyond the reach of many people." Liu Quan slowly walked to Luo Xuan's side, lowered his voice and said, "Why does General Luo hold on to those old things? ”
Luo Xuan turned his head slightly and glanced at him, his face was very cold: "How can I, Luo, be a dog!" In the past, he was bitten by a dog, and one day his Luo clan would definitely bloody this beast who didn't know the height of the sky. ”
"It's just some trivial things, why should the general make a big fuss, be careful of getting angry." Liu Quan said with a smile.
"Hmph." Luo Xuan chuckled, "I'm fine, Lord Liu should take care of himself." ”
Luo Xuan walked quickly to Hongwumen and no longer paid attention to Liu Quan. Zhao Chengyin and Qin Huan were waiting eagerly, and as soon as they saw Luo Xuan coming out, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Your Majesty refuses to overturn the case." Luo Xuan said lightly.
Zhao Chengyin said: "The matter of Zhenguo Gong was deliberately done by the people in the palace, and the reversal of the case must be hindered now." ”
Qin Huan said: "Then Your Majesty can agree to make Miss Feng Yan the county lord?" ”
"No, Your Majesty handed over to the Ministry of Rites to draw up a list of merits, and the pleadings we handed over will only reach Your Majesty through the Ministry of Rites, so I think it should be the Ministry of Rites that has done it." Luo Xuan took the horse from Zhao Chengyin's hand, and several people said as they walked.
Qin Huan said: "But there is no reason for the Ministry of Rites to do this. Could it be that someone in the Ministry of Rites is already on the side of the Queen Mother? ”
Luo Xuan said: "I just proposed to His Majesty to overturn the case in the court, and Liu Quan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has been obstructing me. ”
Zhao Chengyin said: "It seems that the water is getting muddy and muddy. ”
Luo Xuan smiled lightly: "I have a heavy responsibility and can't dodge, but you are different." It's not your business to overturn the case for your great-grandfather, and you shouldn't have been pulled in......"
Qin Huan smiled: "Ah Xuan, don't say that. In the battle in the northwest, if you hadn't sacrificed your life to save me and blocked that arrow for me, I would have died on the battlefield. ”
Luo Xuan patted Qin Huan on the shoulder: "But this is not your business after all......
Zhao Chengyin said: "Both of us have received your favor, and you are a loving and righteous person, we are willing to treat you as a brother, but you are now in a high position, don't dislike me and the two of you." ”
Luo Xuan smiled: "How come? ”
Qin Huan hugged Luo Xuan's shoulders and smiled: "Even if you dislike the two of us, it's useless, we rely on you, and we will eat all the wine and meat in your house." ”
"Good!" Luo Xuan rarely laughed, "Your Majesty rewarded a mansion and called the generals to come to my mansion to eat and drink." ”
"Go, go, go! Gotta go! Qin Huan laughed.
"That's right." Luo Xuan said to Zhao Chengyin, "Everyone has contributed to this victory, everyone has merit, Your Majesty asked the soldiers to go to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to receive the reward, remember to inform everyone when you go back." ”
"Notice, must be noticed!"
After speaking, the three of them walked to Jingshihua Lane shoulder to shoulder.
At night, Guo Xiaoxiao and the four of them still stayed at the post station, and Luo Xuan and the three of them rewarded the soldiers in the general's mansion. There were too many soldiers, so Luo Xuan set up a banquet for seven days in a row, from the deputy envoy to the pawn, and no one was absent. Luo Xuan wants to make sure that everyone can eat their own wine and meat.
As a result, it didn't take long for the notoriety of the general to be extravagant and flashy in the Jingshi. Luo Xuan thought that the Ministry of Rites would visit him in the court, but he didn't expect to receive the holy decree from the Ministry of Rites just after the court.
Or the eunuch that day: "The emperor's edict, the sister of Luo Xuanzhi, the general of the protector of the country, is the sister of Hui Zhenlanxin, Xiuwai Huizhong, in order to reward General Luo and cherish the memory of the prince of Zhenguo, I specially named Luo Xiaoxiao as the county lord, titled Baoyi, exempted from canonization, and gave the general's mansion, Qin this." ”
Luo Xuan glanced at the eunuch and said for a long time: "The last general will thank the Holy Dragon for my sister!" ”
"General Luo is now satisfied." The eunuch laughed.
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, why did Your Majesty suddenly have such a will?"
"The meaning of the Son of Heaven, who dares to speculate?" The eunuch's expression was very exaggerated, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said in Luo Xuan's ear, "Your Majesty favors the general very much, so he complied with the general's wishes." ”
The eunuch only said this one sentence and left, but Luo Xuan felt that things were not so simple.
Zhao Chengyin walked over from the verandah and said: "Su Dongpo's poem "Water Tune Song Head" borrowed the bright moon to sing the officialdom, saying to himself, 'The high place is not cold', I think this is Ah Xuan's current situation. ”
"It's cold in the heights!" Luo Xuan put his back behind his back, "Wonderful! Dongpo poetry is wonderful! ”
Zhao Chengyin broke the other party's trick with a word, Luo Xuan added the title, and a few days ago he connived at the soldiers to have fun, which was already notorious. The other party deliberately named Guo Xiaoxiao as the county lord, which seemed to be the saint elevating Luo Xuan, but in fact, he was turning Luo Xuan to thin ice, and he was shocked step by step. Let Luo Xuan stand on the cusp of the storm and drown Luo Xuan with the smear of the people of Beijing.
At that time, the officials of the DPRK and China will take advantage of this to join Luo Xuan, and Luo Xuan will fall to the ground like a bird with broken wings. What a ruthless move!
Zhao Chengyin said: "However, it is finally a step forward. Miss Chang should have been treated like a county lord. ”
"Sadly, there is only a word of mouth. If there is no canonization ceremony, it is a false name. ”
"Ah Xuan doesn't have to be so pessimistic." Zhao Chengyin took a step closer and said, "Everything will be fine." ”
"Don't worry, I won't be discouraged until I clear my great-grandfather's grievances." Luo Xuan's hand clenched into a fist, "If it weren't for those insidious villains who made trouble and disturbed the mind of the saint, how could the saint be played with in the palm of his hand!" ”
"The wicked are rewarded with evil." Zhao Chengyin put his hand on Luo Xuan's shoulder and comforted, "Let's believe that evil does not prevail over good." ”
"Nope." Luo Xuan looked at Zhao Chengyin's eyes, "Those are just the ancient teachings of saints, if they are resigned to fate, they will only make the villain more and more arrogant." Only when we hold the military power in our hands can we swallow mountains and rivers and threaten the imperial court. I want to make those bad people who harmed my Luo family pay for their blood debts! ”
Zhao Chengyin's eyes became sharp: "No matter what you decide, I will be with you!" ”
