As soon as a cannon sounded, there was a eunuch in the palace who passed the decree into the middle hall, Xu Chang led Xu Qian to receive the decree, the eunuch's face was like a pool of stagnant water, unfolded the holy decree, and said loudly: "Xu Chang, the hereditary hundred households of the pro-army brocade guard, take the decree." ”

Xu Chang bowed down and said busily: "Accept the will of your subordinates." ”

To be precise, what is being read now is not a holy decree, but an edict, the eunuch unfolded Huang Jin, and said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: There is a pro-army brocade guard hundred households Xu Chang, after being loyal and good, he was sent by Qiantang County, and he has been diligent and prudent for a long time. I remember the merits of his ancestors, so he was promoted to the official guard, and sealed a hundred households, Xu Chang was more loyal to the ministry, with the body of a hundred households, and the great merit was made in the court, the country became a law, rewarded and punished the crime, and the meritorious service was rewarded. At this time, Fenger is a widow, and he is honored and honored, and he will be glorious forever. I remembered the early death of the Zhou family, and specially ordered the soldiers and civilians of Qiantang to repair their tombs to show their honor. Chin this! ”

This holy decree, the information is very accurate, first said Xu Chang's merits, but Xu Chang has recently become an official, so the holy decree added a sentence 'Let Qiantang County send it, for a long time, diligence and prudence can be praised'.

But don't underestimate this sentence, the meaning here is equivalent to creating qualifications for Xu Chang, and his qualifications as an official are also included.

You must know that an official is an official, an official is an official, an official has qualifications, an official has no qualifications, an official is qualified, and the official does not even recognize it by the imperial court, so what qualifications can be discussed? After all, Xu Chang has only been in the army for half a year, it stands to reason that his qualifications are very shallow, and in this era of focusing on qualifications, Xu Chang's qualifications are indeed his weakness.

But now, in the holy decree, it is specifically mentioned that he worked hard and was commendable for his diligence and prudence when he was on an errand in Qiantang County, which is equivalent to saying that the imperial court recognized Xu Chang's qualifications as an official. In this way, the qualifications of this Xu Dabaihu are not half a year, but more than 20 years.

The latter sentence of the holy decree specifically mentions Xu Wendao, which is nothing more than to pave the way for Xu Chang's promotion to the throne and highlight the identity of the Xu family after Zhongliang, followed by the edict, the so-called Fengtian Yiwei Tui Chengbo, that is, the fourth-class earl, the title of the Ming Dynasty. The first class is Fengtian to open the country, the second class is Fengtian Jingnan, the third class is Fengtian Yiyun, and the second class is the Fengtian Yiwei in this holy decree, and the first two are only in the period of Emperor Taizu and Chengzu. As for the third class, you must have real military exploits to have a chance, and most people can only get the fourth class, that is, those relatives of the emperor, no matter how close they are to the palace, most of them can only rank in the fourth class. Xu Chang's so-called 'great merit' is not a war merit after all, so it is extremely lucky to have a fourth class.

The latter sentence is An, that is, Xu Chang's fiefdom, which should be in Anxian County. The earl's fief is generally in Xia County, and most of them are places where birds don't, and this fief is just a gimmick, not like the Qin and Han dynasties when they really ceded a piece of land for you to claim the throne. In fact, it just sounds good, but it doesn't actually mean much. Even if you are given a Hangzhou uncle, the money you receive every year is the same, and you want to go to Hangzhou to collect taxes? Unless you have an itchy neck.

What Xu Chang really cares about is the word in front of Fengtian Yiyun Tuicheng, there are two kinds of titles in the Ming Dynasty, one is hereditary, the other is not hereditary, and the holy decree is preceded by a world word, which proves that this earl is an iron rice bowl, not just a simple long-term meal ticket, this earl is not only Xu Chang's, but can also be passed on in the future.

As for the later enshrinement of Xu Qian's deceased mother as a widow, in fact, it was just a formality and a posthumous seal, but it also expressed the meaning of the palace to show grace.

At this moment, Xu Chang's excitement is beyond words, the title, for an ordinary family like him, this is a real benefit, from then on, the Xu family is completely squeezed into the aristocratic circle, although it is very inconspicuous in this circle, but it can be regarded as officially different from ordinary people, from now on, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, the Xu family can be rich and glorious.

Xu Chang's eyes were red with excitement, and he finally calmed down, kowtowed and thanked him, and then accepted the holy decree.

Xu Qian saw that the old man was so excited that he couldn't control it, so he had to go and help him sit down, the eunuch finally came to congratulate with a smile, and other people in the yaya also came to congratulate, Xu Chang was speechless for a while, his throat was a little choked, but Xu Qian was calmer, and the first generation of Xu Chang returned the courtesy, thank you for your kindness.

On this day, the father and son didn't know how it passed, but they were dazed in the envious eyes of countless people and the voices of countless people congratulating them.

In the early morning of the next day, the father and son got up early in the morning, according to the rules, they should enter the palace today to thank him, and Xu Chang went alone, but Xu Qian was afraid that the old man was too excited, so he simply accompanied him, fortunately, the palace had been to a few trips, but also familiar with the road, the father and son were no longer countrymen who had not seen the world, the two of them sat in the carriage together, no one in the carriage spoke, each with a heart, and so on to the noon gate, after the ceremony, a stick of incense time before the eunuch led them in, along the familiar road to the East Nuan Pavilion, but the eunuch did not lead the Xu family father and son in, but asked them to wait in the side hall temporarily.

At this time, in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Jiajing sat cross-legged on the soft collapse, eating tea, while listening to Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian and Mao Ji discussing the use of troops in Guangxi.

On the Guangxi side, the bandits are in trouble and have recently caused trouble, saying that there is a big thief Wang Mai, who led 300 people to attack the county seat, opened the granary, and attracted many ignorant people to join him in the chaos.

On this issue, Yang Tinghe's opinion is not surprising, it is nothing more than to suppress, the consequences of the maladministration left by Zhengde have shown a lot, the chaotic Anping Tuzhou because of the production of jade, the jade of Anping Prefecture has long been accepted as tribute, as a result, the local officials in order to raise tribute jade, inevitably apportioned, so that many laborers all go to the jade, the labor of cultivation is reduced, but the problem is that the jade mining is free of charge, must be handed over to the government, and finally the people's resentment breeds, and the trouble is very unreasonable.

Yang Tinghe squinted his eyes and said slowly: "This year, His Majesty has reduced the number of tribute jade in Anping Tuzhou, from twenty stones to eight stones, these Diao people are not only not grateful to Dade, but are waiting for the opportunity to make trouble, the court must not be appeased, there are Longzhou Wei near Anping Tuzhou, and there are wolf soldiers raised by Tusi, the top priority at the moment is to immediately issue a holy decree to Guangxi, and order the governor of Guangxi to dispatch the town army and horses, and attack in several ways, the bandits are a rabble after all, and they are not in a situation at the moment, they will definitely be able to wipe them out, more than half a year, less than three months, There will be good news to the Beijing Division. ”

Mao Ji echoed at this time: "What Yang Gong said is very true, but Weichen is also a little foolish, Anping Tuzhou is close to Annan, I am afraid that once the heavenly soldiers arrive, these bandits are at the end of the road, and they run into the territory of Annan, then the heavenly soldiers can only sigh at the side, and the imperial court can appoint an envoy to go to Annan, and order the king of Annan to send a team of officers and soldiers, Chen Bing and the border, to coordinate the attack, so that the major event can be decided." ”

Yang Tinghe nodded and said: "But the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this year's treasury is empty, and the money and grain needed to enter and suppress can only be embezzled from the Xuanfu. ”

Jiajing took a sip of tea, felt very reasonable, couldn't help but nod his head, the haze on his face finally dissipated a little, and said excitedly: "Ergong Zhuyu's words, this is the way of the old man to seek the country." ”

He was about to draft the decree, but Jiang Mian, who had been silent, said: "In the opinion of the ministers, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, why not entrust the governor of Guangxi to recruit peace with the bandits, if this Wang Mai is unwilling, the court will just divide them, but if this Wang Mai is willing to change his mind, but he will also save a lot of expenses." Besides, the situation in Guangxi, Weichen knows some, the officials there rely on the sky high emperor far away, in the name of the imperial court wanton exploitation, plus Gongyu aroused the anger of the people, it is because of this chaos, they are not pulling the flag, nor are they called the king, although they attacked the county and killed the court officials, but the merits are right, and the governor of Guangxi can be ordered to investigate and deal with it, why bother to mobilize the people? ”

Jiang Mian's words were sincere, in fact, he didn't have to fight with Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji, but Guangxi was his hometown, and he would be poor when he came there. Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji's main mind is to make an example of one hundred and set an example. But for Jiang Mian, killing one to make an example is secondary, as long as he can suppress the matter and not make a big mess.

Jiajing was young and vigorous, so he naturally refused to recruit An, he glanced at Jiang Mian coldly, and said slowly: "They have all killed officials, and saying that not being called the king is no different from rebellion, they have grievances, and they can sue them, but gathering crowds to attack the county seat, this is death, if the court is appeased, then today this person is wronged, that person is victimized, and they all go to seize the county, so this world, isn't it necessary to mess up." ”

He reprimanded him severely, and felt that his tone was excessive, holding the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "But what Jiang Qing said is not unreasonable, when the thief Kou Dang is peaceful, I will appoint a member of the Qin Mission, and go there to check the officials. ”
