Chapter 42: The Great Vassals

Fang Shu'an's head touched the gold brick, and the "dong dong" sounded, "Thank you, Lord Longen." I can't afford it, I can sweep the floor, I don't need to be an official, I'm not the material. ”

The people on both sides all hid their mouths and laughed when they heard this, and even Renzong couldn't stand up with laughter. "Fang Shu'an, there is no need to say more, the will has been made, how can there be any reason to change it."

"Then I will thank the emperor, thank you for the emperor's cultivation and appreciation, thank you, thank you." Fang Shu'an's happiness is not to mention.

I thought: I'm a thief surnamed Fang, stealing chickens and dogs, and not doing business. If the people of Kaifeng Mansion can take me in and become a decent person, I will be satisfied;

It's great that Zhong Lin and Jiang Zhao can also be at the same level. Could it be that our family's ancestral grave is green? No, my ancestral grave is on fire! Otherwise, my old house can have this glory!

Emperor Renzong sealed it back and forth, and his eyes fell on Bai Yunrui's name, Renzong is not a taste! "Yun Rui will see you."

When Bai Yunrui heard this, he finally called himself, Shi Li buckled his head, and kowtowed several times!

Renzong hurriedly stopped, "Yunrui, what are you doing!" ”

"Minister, a few years ago, I was seriously ill and died, and it was the two imperial doctors of the official family, Zhang, and Wang who traveled thousands of miles to treat me! Our whole family is grateful, and my mother asked me to kowtow a few more for his old man! ”

After looking at Bai Yunrui carefully, he couldn't help but think of Bai Yutang back then: "Child, do you really look like your father Bai Yutang?" Renzong leaned back in his chair;

He raised his face, rolled tears around his eyes and said, "Child, when your father died in Chongxiao Tower, I was sad for a month." I still remember that your mother led you to the Eight Treasures Golden Palace to resign;

I sealed your mother's second grade Mrs. Yilie, and sealed your fourth grade Yinsheng. More than ten years have passed, and now that you have grown up, I am very happy to see that you can contribute to the country. ”

Bai Yunrui's tears fell, and he couldn't say a word. Renzong wiped the corners of his eyes with his dragon robe.

"I also heard Master Bao say, Yunrui, you still worship Fan Zhongyan as a teacher?"

"Well, I was lucky to be favored by my teacher!"

"Haha, I still know Master Fan well, if he doesn't really like it, he might take you as an apprentice!"

The ministers on both sides, who were either elegant, upright or serious, were scrambling to look at Bai Yunrui, and said in their hearts that this was Fan Zhongyan's apprentice? Why is he still a general?

He looks handsome and chic! But Fan Zhongyan shouldn't value these! So what is so special about this young man? I gotta....

These are all serious Song Dynasty ministers! The civil officials are clear, but now they are all looking at a young man over 20 years old! Full of curiosity!

Bai Yunrui was actually very interested in these ministers, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask, all of them could only be buried in his stomach!

"Bai Yunrui stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

Bai Yunrui knelt forward!

"Bai Yun Ruizhen sealed you from the four grades: General Xuanwei! Give you another mansion and take your mother to live with me! You first serve in Kaifeng Mansion on an errand, and there must be no mistake! ”

"The minister is afraid, I can't ask for it! When I went out, my mother said that I would go and work hard, and the court and the emperor had been kind to the Bai family over the years, and they did not ask for high-ranking officials, but only wanted to be able to share the emperor's worries! ”

As soon as Bai Yunrui's words came out, Song Renzong and these adults looked at each other differently, and this general seemed to be different from others!

"Haha, to serve the court well is to thank me for the court!"

Bai Yunrui really couldn't refuse, so he knelt down and thanked him!

Some of the ministers on both sides wanted to say something, but they were pulled by the side of them, in fact, they wanted to persuade the emperor that this official was a bit big, and at most he gave six grades was Longen!

This time he will be crowned a four-grade general! How many people can't reach this level in their lifetime! The sloppy insider's heart said: This is really a little higher after being a loyal minister;

But it's different if it's Fan Zhongyan's apprentice, after all, Lord Fan is also a black cauldron for the emperor, and besides, it's just a fourth-grade general, if it's a civil official, then these people will definitely not agree!

In the Great Song Dynasty, military generals were half a level or even one level lower than civilian officials of the same level, and Bai Yunrui and Jiang Ping only had this level, but they had no actual military power!

The little brothers in Kaifeng Mansion are also very envious of Bai Yunrui! Just came to the same level as Jiang Ping and Xu Liang, but no one was jealous! also knows that Bai Yunrui is a person who relies on great ability;

One is after the loyal minister, and the other is stained with the light of Fan Zhongyan Fan! The main thing is that the emperor likes it!

Those present were all sealed, and some remained unchanged from their original positions; Some went up one level, and some gave rewards of gold and silver.

After sealing the official, the emperor asked Bao Gong: "Bao Qing's family, where is Wang Shun?" ”

"Initiate the Holy Lord, temporarily detain Kaifeng Mansion."

"Very good, I have ordered you to be the prisoner, execute Wang Shun, and avenge the dead."

"Shane." The emperor also issued a decree that after the execution of Wang Shun, a banquet was held in Guanglu Temple to wash the dust of the heroes. Everyone went down to the palace, and the emperor returned to the inner palace.

On the third day, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion gathered in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Bao sat firmly in the main hall, Wang Dynasty and Ma Han's eighth class catcher were standing in their respective positions, and Wang Shun had already thought about it at this time.

Xiao Wuyi and Xiao Qijie are all wearing white and hanging filial piety, standing on both sides is angry and cross-eyed!

After Wang Shun signed and drew the charge, Wang Shun was escorted to the front of the Sanlao Mourning Hall.

The cross-courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, the paper flags are tall, the couplets are hung high, one by one is dressed in heavy filial piety, and Lord Bao also tied a white ribbon, and commanded Wang Shun to disembowel and pluck his heart;

sacrificed to the deceased, and Xu Liang personally took the knife, which resulted in Wang Shun's life. Heads were cut off, hung on the streets, and notices were posted. All of a sudden, the capital shook and became a household name.

Xu Liang, Lu Zhen, and Han Tianjin immediately asked Lord Bao for leave to escort the coffin back to its hometown, how could this Lord Bao stop it, and immediately approved and gave a hundred days of vacation!

The three of them were very grateful, and the next day, the three of them said goodbye and got up, pulled the coffin in the car, and went straight to different directions.

Lord Bao ordered Gongsun Ce to lead the old and young heroes to send each other outside, outside the city, Bai Yunrui held Xu Liang by the hand and said: "Three elder brothers, the younger brother has official business, and he can't be sent away, I hope the three elder brothers take care all the way." ”

Xu Liang patted Bai Yunrui on the shoulder and said, "Brother, when I leave Kaifeng Mansion, the burden of a thousand catties will fall on you, you have to protect Lord Bao and pay attention to the safety of Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"Third brother, don't worry, it's all on me, and we'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, we'll see you later!"

Xu Liang got on the horse, escorted the coffin, and returned to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi; Han Tianjin and Lu Zhen escorted the vehicle to Songjiang Mansion's Trap Island.

The next day, Guanglu Temple held a feast to congratulate everyone. After another three days of chaos, everything returned to normal, and everyone went to Kaifeng Mansion to take up their posts step by step.

Bai Yunrui put on the official clothes for the first time and felt quite restrained. It is not the imaginary military general's uniform, but the same official robe as the civil official, the red official robe, Fang Shu'an and others are green official robes.

The robe and coat are not troublesome. The Northern Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and the usual official uniform of military generals was "Wu Suiwen uniform", and they would only wear armor when fighting.

Everyone applied to Mr. Bao, and Mr. Bao also agreed, you can usually wear the clothes of the captain of Kaifeng Mansion, and wear official uniforms on formal occasions!

That night, Bai Yunrui invited everyone to visit his new house, in the east of the inner city, the house of Sanjin, and a small garden, which was also the official residence of a military general, for other reasons became Yunrui's!
