When the ministers present heard this, some people felt that it was a pity that such a great merit was only knighted and not given an official position, which seemed to be a bit biased.

But some people also think that everyone has their own ambitions, since Lu Ning doesn't want to enter the court as an official, then the addition of the title is actually an encouragement for him, and it is not indispensable.

However, this kind of thing is not easy for everyone to say, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, since Zhu Yuanzhang has made his own decision, then all the ministers can only echo it.

After all, the founding emperor is not a person who can accept advice at any time, since he regards Lu Ning as his nephew, how to seal it is also a matter of the family.

The meat is rotten in the pot, there is no need for everyone to intervene more, just watch quietly, maybe it is possible to seal a county king in the future, and this viscount is just a transition.

In the past few days, Lu Ning is still drinking wine and basking in the sun every day, and he is still revising these books, and his life is leisurely.

At this moment, Fu Bo suddenly came in, looked at Lu Ning in surprise and said.

"Young master, the imperial court's envoy has arrived in Changning County, and is now on top of the county government. Why don't you care about it, still basking in the sun here, hurry up and change into official clothes to receive the holy decree. ”

Lu Ning looked at Fu Bo with a smile, this is what he wants, after all, he has been passive and slacking off these days, and he must have been impeached by the imperial history.

Therefore, when this holy decree comes, it may be to remove himself from the position of acting county magistrate, or even remove himself from the status of a baron.

In this way, he is not only unofficial but also has no title, and he is very relaxed.

After arriving here, Lu Ning couldn't help but smirk, he looked at Fu Bo and said.

"Uncle Fu, for a period of time, I have not been to the county office to deal with official affairs, it seems that my idea has been completely realized that the imperial court sent me this time, that is, to remove me from my official position."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Fu Bo was completely helpless, everyone wants to climb up, why do you want to slip down? What the hell does this young master think?

However, now that the imperial court has come to Changning County, no matter what the will is to convey, you should put on the official uniform first to receive the order.

Lu Ning hurriedly changed his clothes and came to the county government hall, at this time Qin Cha was already waiting on the official case, and when he saw him coming, he immediately began to read out the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Changning County male Lu Ning is law-abiding, has a lot of achievements in Changning County, there is a Mauser gun before, and now supplies grenades in the domestic goods department, and makes new contributions, and the general trend of the imperial court is quite meritorious, and the prince of Changning County, the crown belt is the same as the same product, Qin this."

After the holy decree was read, Lu Ning let out a long sigh and said in his heart What is going on.

Passive sabotage not only did not remove the official, but even increased the official to the knighthood, and there is really no place to reason for this matter.

He had to follow the rules of officialdom to entertain the Qin Cha for dinner first, and then sent some wine and local specialties to send the people away.

Back in his small courtyard, Lu Ning was really helpless, he called Fu Bo and said.

"Fu Bo, you say, how can I push out all the titles and official positions on my body, it's really troublesome, no official is light, I just want to fish and dry the net every day, why do I have to seal this and that."

Fu Bo looked at Lu Ning with a smile and said.

"Young master, in fact, the imperial court has sealed you so much, but it means that you value it, besides, you don't care about it, you also have to consider the thoughts of future generations, isn't it just for a wife and a shadow son to mix all your life?"

Lu Ning didn't speak, and Fu Bo continued to say to him.

"Don't you shout every day to marry a daughter-in-law, after marrying a daughter-in-law, you won't have children, and when you have a title, you can pass it on to your son."

Lu Ning scratched his head helplessly, and then said.

"Wouldn't it be okay if I left them some money, being an official of the Ming Dynasty is always a dangerous profession."

Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open with a squeak, and his old friend Liu Changlu walked in.

It turned out that as the prefect of Changzhou, he was inspecting the work in Changning County at this time, and when he heard that the imperial court sent someone to give Lu Ning a knighthood, he was naturally happy, so he came to congratulate.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the door, I saw Lu Ning's sad face.

"I said, brother, what's the matter with you? After people are added to the ranks, they all want to kill pigs and sheep to celebrate for a few days, but you are promoted to an official, but it is like losing a few pieces of money. ”

In front of Liu Changlu, an old friend, Lu Ning really had nothing to disguise, and poured a lot of bitter water.

Liu Changlu said with a smile.

"In the whole Daming, only you will think so, don't relax now, hurry up and prepare the banquet, I estimate that your small courtyard will soon be full of guests."

Lu Ning really didn't expect this, because the will of the Viscount of the Emperor had just been issued, and the outside didn't know it yet.

If it spreads, it is estimated that many people will come to cling to the relationship and want to fight for a face or something.

Thinking of this, he was really a little distressed, and said directly to Liu Changlu.

"Brother Liu, our relationship is not an outsider, I beg you to do me a favor, you must not refuse."

Liu Changlu and Lu Ning have been together for so long, of course they know what he wants to do, but they just spread their hands helplessly, and then said.

"You must want me to help you block the news and not let others know about your entry into the viscount, right?"
