Chapter 204: Crown
However, things are so coincidental, at the moment when Zhang Zheng and Lao Li Gang turned around. A shrill shout with a long trilling voice reached the ears of everyone in the Zou Guo Mansion.
"The holy decree has arrived~" Immediately after, Zhang Zheng saw Wang De's old face, smiling like a sunflower.
Wang De was also followed by the old eunuch who disappeared after Jinyang and his party returned to Chang'an. Chang Yan's face is also with an aunt-like smile.
Wang De walked closer, ignored the guests who came to the Guogong Mansion to watch the ceremony, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiannan, take the order!" "Li Shimin has a will for himself, but he still pinched it!
Zhang Zheng was slightly puzzled in his heart, what does this have to do with Li Shimin when he won the crown today? Lao Li Gang patted Zhang Zheng's hand lightly, and Zhang Zheng nodded.
When he came to the Guogong Mansion, the people had not had time to remove the incense table and knelt down at the table.
"Minister, Zhang Zheng, a man from Weinan County, listen to the hadith!" Seeing Zhang Zheng kneeling, Chang Yan hurriedly handed the holy decree in his arms to Wang De.
After Wang De stretched out his hand to take it, he cleared his throat and read in a sharp voice unique to eunuchs: "The edict says, there is a good son Zhang Zheng today." Sixteen years old, to the age of the crown. I Gai heard that Han Gao added Xiao Xiang, the old Hui is Huai, Zhou Wu praised Hu Gong, and he was very kind, and he was both kind and affectionate, and he had the special respect of Yi Mingju. Zhang Zheng, a man from Weinan County, is a weak crown in his year, and he is called a township and county, and he can cultivate filial piety and righteousness in peace, so that he can pass through the world, and Liangzi thinks that he is a tiger minister. Benevolence is both deep and good, and the details are in the classics, when Longxi is in the pet chapter, it can be sealed Weinan County, and there are 300 households in Shiyi! Oh yes! ”
"Wow!" As soon as the holy decree was recited, Zhang Zheng didn't have time to accept it, and the onlookers gasped!
The audience was in an uproar, and he jumped two levels directly from the Weinan County man to the Weinan County Bo, Your Majesty is so big!
Throughout the entire Zhenguan Dynasty, Zhang Zheng was the only one who went to the county without a battle. The county uncle, the prince and the uncle, and then the next level is the marquis.
"Your Majesty is faint, how can the son of Huangkou be able to grant the lord a heavy weapon!" At that moment, someone came to watch the ceremony and said loudly, and he didn't care that he was in the Zou Guogong Mansion at this time.
Because of Li Er's holy decree, it can be said that he is extremely deaf. A sixteen-year-old boy, how can he be knighted as a county earl!
After one of the people who took the lead in speaking spoke up, other imperial historians also stood up and echoed: "Your Majesty's move, how different from the faint monarch!" ”
"This official will never believe that this is His Majesty's will!" The veterans didn't speak, and Wen Chen's side suddenly shouted.
One by one, they scolded His Majesty for being stupid, as if Li Er had dug up their ancestral grave!
"This official wants to enter the palace to face the saint and ask His Majesty to retract this will, otherwise this official will die in front of the Manna Palace."
"This official will go too!"
"Go together, go together!" Zhang Zheng didn't stretch out his hand to receive the holy decree, not to mention that the civil officials thought Li Shimin was stupid.
Even Zhang Zheng, when he heard the last sentence of the content of the holy decree, he had a ridiculous and unreal feeling in his heart.
That's the earl, Li Shimin just gave himself a word? The iron law of the Tang Dynasty is not a knight if it is not a military merit, and in the past, a county man was rewarded, and Li Shimin was happy.
But this is a county uncle, Datang's title is decreasing one level from generation to generation, and the county uncle is sealed, which means that Datang has to support Zhang Zheng's three generations.
Zhang Gongjin, who was sitting on the main seat on the side, was also taken aback by the content of the holy decree. The so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and being named an earl at the age of sixteen may not be a good thing for Zhang Zheng.
What's more, Zhang Zheng's invention of horse iron hooves and new firearms has not been made known to the world, so Zhang Zheng has no military merits at this time.
rashly becoming an earl will inevitably provoke criticism from the government and the opposition. After the initial shock, the veterans began to watch all this with cold eyes.
Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, Chai Shao, Niu Jinda and other veterans who have a good relationship with Zhang Gongjin have set their sights on Zhang Gongjin.
Zhang Gongjin was about to get up and signal Zhang Zheng to reject this will, but he heard opposition from Wenchen's side.
Suddenly, he paused, and looked at the first Yushi who spoke out against it. After all, it is his own son, and Zhang Gongjin himself can oppose it, but if someone wants to make a big fuss.
"Huh!" Thinking of this, Zhang Gongjin sneered, and his eyes became cold. Zhang Zheng also set his eyes on the person who spoke out against him at the beginning.
This look, yo ho, is still an old acquaintance. It's not the secretary of the imperial history, Liu Xun, or who is it! Of all the people in the audience, he was the loudest and the most fiercely opposed.
Zhang Zheng really wanted to ask, is this title Lao Tzu's own business, you are dancing so happily here, I stepped on a horse to dig your ancestral grave?
Liu Xun saw Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Zheng's eyes looking at him at the same time, and somehow suddenly shuddered in his heart.
Then his face changed and he said loudly: "It seems that the official of this banquet of the Zou State Mansion has no chance to enjoy it, and the official will enter the palace to face the saint and say goodbye!" ”
"This official also resigns!"
"And this officer!" In an instant, more than a dozen Wenchen stood up. They also knew that the root of this matter was Li Shimin, so they did not say anything cruel to Zhang Zheng.
Wang De looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with a smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with everything in front of him.
"Zhang Xiannan, oh no, Uncle Zhang, still don't accept the order?" Seeing that Zhang Zheng's eyes had been staring at Liu Xun, Wang De kindly reminded Zhang Zheng.
And Zhang Zheng's mood at this time was very unhappy, very unhappy. Stepping on a horse, this is the holy decree given to me by Li Er, Lao Tzu will not accept the knighthood and take care of your, it is your turn to beep here?
The louder the opposition, the more Zhang Zheng wants to screw with them. Didn't you say that Li Er was dumbfounded, didn't you say that I, Zhang Zheng, was not worthy of this title.
Lao Tzu will accept this holy decree today, you can have the ability to let Li Er take back this will.
Especially when Liu Xun said the last sentence, Zhang Zheng wanted to burst into foul language. Love to eat or not, don't eat and pull down!
"Minister Zhang Zheng, thank you!" Zhang Zheng took the holy decree with both hands, and then thanked him loudly, as if others couldn't hear it.
"Humph!" Seeing that Zhang Zheng really accepted the holy decree, the gossip officials led by Liu Xun suddenly snorted coldly.
Then he turned around and was about to leave angrily. This matter has nothing to do with Zhang Zheng, but as the imperial historian, they must personally go to His Majesty to ask for an explanation.
Just when Liu Xun was about to lead a group of imperial historians to face the saint, Wang De suddenly said slowly: "A few imperial historians stayed, but our family didn't say that you could go!" Hearing this, Liu Xun suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wang De viciously, as if he was going to choose someone to devour.
He replied with a sneer: "Do you still need the consent of a eunuch to leave or not, do you want to interfere in politics?" ”
