"It's rare that at a young age, you know that you are worried about the country and the people, and you are very thoughtful! Well, okay, I'll canonize you as a young marquis, how about it? Bai Zhenshan waved his hand, looked at Wan Dong with a smile and asked.

"Young Hou!?" As soon as Bai Zhenshan's voice fell, even Xu Wenchuan was taken aback.

Compared with the promotion of Xu Tianlong to the king of Ningbei and the marquis of Wandong, it is even more surprising. There is no other reason, there is only one, and that is Wan Dong's age.

He Zhen finally couldn't sit still, if even one Xu Yaoting could be crowned a marquis, how could he fight with the Xu family in the future? A Xu family, three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, two kings and one marquis, such power, just thinking about it, is enough to make people's hearts tremble, let alone fight against it.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shizi's contribution this time is indeed outstanding. But the twenty-year-old boy Hou is inevitably too eye-catching, and he is afraid that the ministers and the people will not accept it. He Zhendao.

"Not convinced? What is there to disagree! Whoever can attain the Great Perfection at the age of 20 can also be named a marquis! I never look at age or anything else. Just look at the two, whether they are capable and loyal to me! These two children, Yaoting is all satisfied, and there is a reason why I will not be rewarded? Don't say any more, step down. ”

Hearing the emperor say this, even if He Zhen was no longer convinced, he could only endure it and retreat to the side stupidly.

"Silly boy, what are you doing there, don't you want to thank you?" Xu Wenchuan still had doubts, but He Zhen blocked the way like this, which made Xu Wenchuan calm. What a big ass to sit on and what a stool! My grandson has such ability, no matter how jealous you are, you can only stare dryly!

Wan Dong frowned, and suddenly said to Bai Zhenshan, "Your Majesty, if you want to make me a young marquis, I can accept it, but ...... But I have one condition. ”

"Presumptuous! The emperor unusually promoted you to the young marquis, which is already a great gift to you. You still have to talk to the emperor about the conditions? He Zhen was angry again, and immediately pointed at Wan Dong and reprimanded.

Bai Zhenshan's brows furrowed suddenly, his face was full of displeasure, and he said straight to He Zhendao, "As a first-class minister, why are you so uncomposed?" Wait for Yaoting to say the conditions, it's not too late for you to roar at the court! ”

"Huh!? Damn it! Weichen was angry just now, so he lost his temper, please ...... the emperor"

"Alright, well, get out of the way! Without my command, you are not allowed to speak again! ”

Bai Zhenshan was happy to see He Zhen and the Xu family as enemies, but he couldn't stand He Zhen's impatience and shallowness. Especially his naked jealousy, which is simply ridiculous.

"Yaoting, what conditions do you have, let's just say it!" Bai Zhenshan is kind to Wan Dongdao.

Wan Dong scratched his head, and said with a little shyness, "Your Majesty, can I only be a young marquis, but not participate in politics?" ”

"Not in politics?" Unexpectedly, Wan Dong would put forward such a condition, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback, and Bai Zhenshan was no exception.

Wan Dong laughed a few times, and said with a little embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I only ...... this year I am only twenty years old, and you have asked me to follow the morning dynasty every day to discuss military affairs with the lords, which is really ...... Actually, I haven't had enough fun. ”

Bai Zhenshan and hundreds of civil and military officials thought that Wan Dong had some great reason to give up the opportunity to participate in politics that most men dream of, but they never thought that what Wan Dong said would be such a completely unpopular reason, and even a little childish. For a while, all the civil and military officials shook their heads and smiled bitterly, secretly talking about Wan Dong, the 'young marquis', Bai Zhenshan really didn't make a mistake, he was really a child.

He Zhen's face quickly showed a look of contempt, originally worried that after Bai Zhenshan made Wan Dong a young marquis, it would make the Xu family's power grow to the extreme and add pressure to it. But now it seems that he is completely overly worried, Xu Yaoting is simply a child who can't get on the stage, does not do more, is greedy for fun, and does not want to make progress. Not to mention being named a young marquis, even if it is named a young king, what is the use?

And just when He Zhen and the vast majority of civil and military officials secretly ridiculed Wan Dong in their hearts, a very small number of ministers looked solemn and looked at Wan Dong's gaze, not only with the slightest ridicule, but also with a little admiration and shock.

Although Bai Zhenshan smiled brightly, rewarding the three generations of the Xu family one by one, and even Xu Tianlong, who was thousands of miles away and had no merit in this counterinsurgency, was stained with light, and completed the leap from Hou to Wang in one fell swoop, but if you pay careful attention, it is not difficult to find that Bai Zhenshan's smile is by no means from his heart.

If you think about it, you will understand that Bai Zhenshan has just experienced Qiu Wanli's rebellion, how could he sincerely support a Xu family that is even more powerful than Qiu Wanli? Of course Bai Zhenshan was unwilling, but he couldn't help it. After all, the credit of the Xu family was there, and it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye. If he is infamous for being unfair, it will have a great adverse effect on his prestige. And prestige is exactly what Bai Zhenshan, who has just recovered from his illness, needs the most at the moment.

In addition, for the Xu family, it may not be a good thing to enter the heyday early. It is necessary to know that the extremes of things must be reversed, and the prosperity and decline will be extreme!

Wan Dong took the initiative not to participate in politics, which immediately dissipated the knots in Bai Zhenshan's heart, if he was careful enough, he would definitely be able to find a trace of joy that flashed from the depths of Bai Zhenshan's eyes.

"This ...... Jozan King, what do you think? Bai Zhenshan made a hesitant look and turned his head to look at Xu Wenchuan.

Xu Wenchuan shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "My grandson is spoiled by me, and he plays very big!" Since he insists on asking for this, the emperor will be gracious and allow him. ”

Hearing Xu Wenchuan say this, Bai Zhenshan was no longer hypocritical, nodded and said, "Okay!" Yaoting, I will let you play for another year, and after a year, you will participate in politics again. ”

"Huh? Just a year? Wan Dong looked reluctant.

Xu Wenchuan glared at him and scolded, "A year is too short, don't you kid want to play for a lifetime?" ”

"That dare to be kind...... Wan Dong muttered in a low voice, which made Xu Wenchuan's eyes suddenly widen.

Looking at this ancestor and grandson, Bai Zhenshan's mood was a lot more relaxed, and Da Lu smiled and said, "Yaoting, a manly man, you can't just think about playing, care about the world, and make contributions, this is what the husband does!" ”

"Alright! That...... Then Yaoting listened to the emperor. ”

Bai Zhenshan is very satisfied, this year is not long, but it is not short, it is enough for Bai Zhenshan to reorganize the dynasty and reshape the imperial power. At that time, he will have enough chips in his hands to balance the Xu family, and it will not be of much significance if Wan Dongshen does not participate in politics.

"But Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more thing he wants to play."

Bai Zhenshan was in a good mood, waved his hand, and said, "What's the matter, say!" ”

Wan Dongdao "That's right, this time, there is another person who can put down Qiu Wanli's rebellion, and there is a person who has made great contributions." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"The chief shopkeeper of Juntian Pawnshop - Qu Sanping!"

Bai Zhenshan has been ill for several years, and he doesn't know who Qu Sanping is, but the ministers of civil and military affairs present know it. Especially those who wanted to fight thousands of miles in the past, they didn't go through the back door of Qu Sanping. Therefore, as soon as Wan Dong said this, the entire court was in an uproar.

"Qu Sanping is Qiu Wanli's confidant, everyone in the world knows it, how can he make such a contribution to the eradication of Qiu Wanli?" He Zhen said anxiously.

"Qu Sanping is Qiu Wanli's henchman?" Bai Zhenshan was slightly stunned, his face full of doubts.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this Qu Sanping, has been running Juntian Pawnshop for Bai Zhenshan for many years, and I don't know how many treasures and wealth Lu Dao has collected for him. Qiu Wanli can have today's potential, and this Qu Sanping has helped a lot. The minister was about to start the emperor and quickly behead this person, otherwise it would not be enough for the people to be angry. ”

Wan Dong couldn't help but let out a sneer, He Zhen was so eager to execute Qu Sanping, needless to say, he must be worried that Qu Sanping would tell many ugly things about how he curried favor with Qiu Wanli back then, so as to expose the lies he told to Bai Zhenshan, which was about to kill people.

Bai Zhenshan frowned, looked at Wan Dong, and said, "Yaoting, what's going on?" ”

Wan Dongdao "Your Majesty, Qu Sanping is indeed Qiu Wanli's person, but a long time ago, his heart had already turned away from Qiu Wanli. This time, Qiu Wanli's usurpation conspiracy was leaked to me by Qu Sanping, so I was able to calmly arrange and foil Qiu Wanli's conspiracy in one fell swoop! That's why I said, Qu Sanping has made great contributions! ”

As soon as Wan Dong's voice fell, the civil and military officials were in an uproar. It wasn't until now that they understood that Qiu Wanli would lose so badly. Dare to love a long time ago, he has been betrayed.

"If that's the case, then this Qu Sanping is really indispensable." Bai Zhenshan nodded slightly and said.

Wan Dong immediately said, "Therefore, when the emperor is rewarding you for meritorious deeds, you must not miss him." ”

"I can't miss it! So in your opinion, how should I reward Qu Sanping? ”

Wan Dong was not polite, and immediately said, "Qu Sanping likes business, but he doesn't like to be an official. If he gives him an official title, it is better to give him the Juntian pawnshop. ”

"How's that going to work? This Juntian pawnshop has hidden countless treasures in the world, worth hundreds of millions, how can it be easily rewarded to others? He Zhen immediately objected.

Wan Dong sneered and said, "Juntian Pawnshop is indeed worth a lot of money, but no matter how much money it has, how can it be compared to Jiangshan Sheji?" ”

"You...... You're a strong word! He Zhen yelled angrily.

Wan Dong snorted coldly and pursed his lips with disdain.

Bai Zhenshan pondered for a moment and said, "Qu Sanping's merits cannot be ignored. Yaoting, according to what you said, give Juntian Pawnshop to Qu Sanping, but he must pay taxes on time and in full, otherwise, I will take back Juntian Pawnshop at any time. ”

"Huh...... It's nature! The minister will definitely admonish the emperor and tell him that he knows the way! ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive your ministers for their capital crimes!" As soon as Wan Dong's words were finished, He Zhen suddenly stepped forward quickly, shouting loudly while kneeling down in front of Bai Zhenshan.

Bai Zhenshan frowned and asked, "He Zhen, what the hell are you doing?" ”
