Emperor Changping then rewarded Qin Mingyue with more than 10,000 acres of grange, of course, that grange would also be the former grange of the Yang family. He also asked the eunuch to read out the will, and gave Qin Mingyue a hundred slaves, as well as some gold and silver jewelry, and antique treasures. Anyway, when Qin Mingyue left the palace, Chunyin was holding a brocade box in his hand, which contained the deed of the house and the contract of the grange, as well as the deed of sale of the slave maid.

Behind him was a big car, full of things from the emperor.

When Qin Mingyue returned to the Liguo Mansion, she happened to see that everyone in the mansion was beaming, so she asked what happened. The servants hurriedly told that when Qin Mingyue entered the palace just now, the emperor sent someone to read out the will, and Qin Guosong, the son of the Duke of Liguo, was appointed as the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the position of the third product. Feng Qin Guo Tan Zheng seven-product scattered doctor, Qin State Liu Zheng seven-product scattered doctor, Qin State Yang Zheng six-product scattered doctor.

It's just a matter of dispersing the doctor, this is just an honor, even if you have an official body, you don't need to go to the court, and you don't need to go to the yamen to work, this is a kind of glory that is specially sewn for the children of meritorious heroes. However, who has ever seen a family that gave three rewards at once?

These three loose officials are still counted, Qin Guosong's squire of the Zhengsanpin Ministry of Industry is a real official. The Ministry of Industry is one of the six ministries, and the status of the Ministry of Industry is second only to the Ministry of Works. is high and powerful, and he has to go to the court every day. The power is great.

Although as the prince of the country, Qin Guosong is a super first-class position, but it is only a noble title, and he has not officially entered the court. Nowadays, how many people envy and how many people stammer?

No, not only was the entire Qin family beaming, but there were also more families who came to congratulate them. Now, the Qin family's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, who can't see it? Is there anything else that doesn't stutter?

Qin Mingyue smiled and nodded. The reward given by the emperor made her too satisfied.

Qin Mingyue returned to her small courtyard, changed into homely clothes, and went to the upper room. When I saw the big brother with a happy face, I couldn't help but congratulate.

Qin Guosong said helplessly: "My official position, my sister still doesn't know, it must be the emperor who rewarded my sister for this official position." ”

Qin Mingyue said: "That's also because my brother is famous in the country, and the emperor can give you an official position." Otherwise, it can only be counted for a three-grade loose doctor. ”

Qin Guosong said: "Even if the emperor takes a fancy to my talent and lets me join the office, there is no reason to give the position of Sanpin as soon as I come up?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Normally, there is no such reason. It's just that this time, I went out and made a few big contributions. The emperor has no way to reward him, so he can only do this. By the way, the emperor also rewarded me with a lot of things in the palace, and when I went back, I sent some to my mother and grandmother. Let's be happy together. This is also the emperor's grace. ”

Mrs. Yin had already smiled and lost her eyebrows.

Qin Mingyue said again: "Big brother, the emperor has given you such a favor, you have to know how to repay your kindness, and you can be diligent in the king's affairs." It just so happens that the affairs of this mansion are almost over, and the third brother has also grown up, so he can learn to receive people and things with the second uncle and manage the property in the mansion. The things inside, seeing that the sister-in-law is about to enter the door. She took good care of the Fuchun Marquis Mansion in her mother's house, and she will definitely be able to handle these things when she arrives at our mansion. Besides, there are mothers and grandmothers. The eldest brother didn't have these trivial matters to do, and he just focused on the government. Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family. If our Qin family wants to restore the glory of our ancestors, it must be on the body of the eldest brother. ”

Mrs. Yin and Mrs. An hurriedly said, "That's exactly the truth. ”

Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo, also smiled and said, "Song'er, you have to listen to your sister well, and be diligent in the king's affairs." ”

As he was talking, someone outside suddenly reported that a holy decree had arrived. At this moment, everyone looked at each other, and just read out the will, how can there still be a will?

However, thinking about it, everyone was still busy setting up an incense case outside to receive the order. This holy decree is interesting, it actually gave the title of Duke of Liguo to Qin Guosong. Qin Ping, the previous Duke of Liguo, gave him a large mansion on the outskirts of Beijing and invited him to retire.

He received the decree and sent the angel away.

Everyone looked at each other and returned to the upper room.

Qin Ping's face was not good: "Mingyue, what does this holy decree mean?" "Where is he old? It's not even forty years old, right? Is it okay to have a concubine in the backyard? The holy decree said well, and praised Qin Ping well, saying that he was diligent in state affairs, too hard, and specially gave him a house to take care of. He has been raised in the backyard all his life, and he has never entered the court, when did he work hard?

He is about to retire before he is forty years old, so what about the gray-haired old courtiers in the court?

Old Lady An and Lady Yin also panicked: "Mingyue, what's going on?" Didn't the emperor just reward our family? also let your eldest brother enter the court as an official, and let several of your brothers have meritorious officials. Why did you get rid of your father's dukedom in the blink of an eye? ”

Qin Mingyue knew in her heart that this was the emperor and her master Shen Guoshi who were afraid that her father would pull her back, so she simply sent her father to the suburbs to live for a long time, away from the imperial court. In this way, Qin Mingyue and Qin Guosong can handle national affairs with confidence, no one is holding them back, and they don't have to be embarrassed by filial piety.

This is really good intentions.

Qin Mingyue glanced at her brother. My brother's eyes flickered. Qin Mingyue knew what this meant, and her brother understood it.

Qin Mingyue said to her father, grandmother and mother: "Father, you have not entered the court as an official, and you don't know the rules of this officialdom. Your Majesty, you already want to reuse our two brothers and sisters. The eldest brother became an official in the court, and he was a high-ranking official of the third grade from the beginning. I'm going to be enthroned as a national teacher in a few years. Even the brothers in the family have also been given official status. Such a grandeur, if my father still occupies the title of duke, wouldn't it be too much? ”

"Could it be that this court is open for our Qin family? In order to prevent people from talking about it, and also to weigh it, in a situation like this, the elders have to make way for the juniors. My father didn't see it, Xie Xiang is the first prime minister of the Great Zhou, and they are scholars in the Xie family, but their children are all officials outside the capital? Didn't become a Beijing official? ”

"In the future, if the children of the Xie family want to enter the capital, they will have to abdicate from the throne. This has been true throughout the ages. ”

Saying this, Qin Ping understood. Although he is a gentleman, although he has never been an official in the court, after all, he is the heir to the Guogong Mansion and has received elite education since he was a child. I still understand this truth.

Qin Ping was originally a little uncomfortable, but when he said this to his daughter, he felt a little more balanced in his heart.
