Chapter 408: Marquis of Freedom
In the Changming Palace.
"Chen Luoxing knocks to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!"
"Luo Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, hurry up." Emperor Yongxi hurriedly ordered, "Come on, bring a stool for Luo Aiqing." ”
Sitting down, the Q&A mode began, Emperor Yongxi asked, Luo Xing replied, and told the situation of Yangzhou and the First World War in the southeast in detail.
Especially about the release of the Tian family's prisoners, in exchange for a large amount of money is also made clear, these people are caught in their hands, they can't let go, and they can't be few, and they still waste food when they are raised, so it's better to exchange money for it, first, they can have money to settle the wolf army that has been disarmed and returned to the field, and second, they can save the trouble of Dabi in the imperial court.
Nan Chu will definitely not spend money to ransom people, even if it is, then I don't know when it will be delayed, which is extremely unfavorable to the Tian family.
Therefore, it is better to exchange it now and sell it for a good price.
Of course, it is natural that someone participated in the performance of him and Qin Chongfang, who was raising tigers, Nan Chu was an enemy after all, and such an opportunity to weaken Nan Chu was actually let go for a little selfish gain, which was completely an act of treason.
But Emperor Yongxi knew that he nodded and agreed to this matter, after all, he wanted to let the Heavenly Wolf Army hunt in the east, the imperial court did not have so much money, and he had to reorganize the southeastern armament, these people would only talk empty words and talk about big truths, but when they really shared their worries, they couldn't let go of a fart.
The Tian family put it back, and it would not be a threat to the Great Zhou for a while, and the internal power struggle in Southern Chu had never stopped, and it was difficult to promote the opportunity of the Northern Expedition.
The Tian family lost the Huainan Army this time, and its strength was greatly weakened, and there were inevitably people in the Southern Chu Dynasty who wanted to replace it.
This battle, and wait to see a good show.
The Tian family lost their troops and paid a lot of money, and the wealth they plundered in Yangzhou and other places has not been shipped back.
These are all cheaper than Emperor Yongxi.
Part of this money was used for the reconstruction of the three southeastern states, and part of it was collected into the national treasury, and the imperial court seemed to have spent money on the war, but in fact it did not lose much.
It's not because the salt tax in the three southeastern states hasn't been collected much in the past ten years, and the money that originally belonged to the imperial court has been swallowed up by these people.
Now these people have spit out the money, and the imperial court has saved the funds for the reconstruction of the three southeastern states.
It was precisely because of the existence of this money that Emperor Yongxi did not feel at ease to send someone else to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, and directly ordered Luo Xing.
Because Luo Xing is not poor, although he also loves money, he knows how to divide what he should take and what he shouldn't take clearly, and those poor and crazy officials in the DPRK and China, once they go to Yangzhou, they are afraid that this money will be a confused account again, and when the time comes, it will be divided by these people, and it will not be used by the people at all.
Even if he was summoned back to Beijing to report on his work, he was not removed from the post of "Acting Assassin History", which shows Emperor Yongxi's trust in him.
After returning to Beijing to report on his work, he will definitely be rewarded.
Luo Xing's contribution this time is very great, second only to Qin Chong, the commander who recovered the three southeastern states, especially Luo Xing has a great merit that no one can deny, that is, the main ships of the Jinling Naval Division in Southern Chu were forcibly detained.
Of course, there are also the sailors' men.
These can also be exchanged for money, and they can be negotiated with the Southern Chu court.
This credit, even if it is given to a second-class duke, is not an exaggeration, but in fact, the second-class duke is not as good as the first-class marquis, and the first-class marquis has a title.
And this time Qin Chong must be crowned a duke, he is a first-class marquis with a title, and the duke naturally wants to keep the title, of course, you can also start another one, it depends on the meaning of Emperor Yongxi.
Luo Xing didn't really have much idea about the title, of course, if he was allowed to choose, it would be the best.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongxi understood him.
actually arranged three titles, let him choose one, since it is a title selection, it must be a first-class marquis.
The Duke didn't have to think about it, he didn't think about it anyway.
"Xiaoyao, Jiangdu and Zhennan" these three titles, Jiangdu must not be chosen, Jiangdu Xinggong is the emperor's, is it possible that you still have the heart of disobedience?
Zhennan, the connotation of this title is too strong, and Luo Xing never thought of guarding the southeast for Da Zhou, which was not what he wanted.
There is only one left to escape.
Loose Marquis.
He really wants to be a carefree and carefree marquis.
Emperor Yongxi saw that Luo Xing directly chose the title of "Xiaoyao Hou", and nodded slightly, which was not bad with his analysis and judgment in his heart.
This Luo Xing is really not above power, so for him, there is no threat, a good thing.
Immediately, Emperor Yongxi issued an edict to entitle Luo Xing as a first-class marquis, and rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, a pair of jade Ruyi, and all kinds of silk and satin.
The reward specifications are far beyond the ordinary first-class marquis, and in addition, he also sealed a flat wife, which is Hongying, and the identity of Ning Yurou's concubine is also recognized.
After all, Ning Yurou has an official position, if she marries a concubine, she must be recognized by the court, and if the court does not recognize it, she is not allowed to marry as a concubine.
Of course, if it is a wife, there is no problem, but she is a person from Nanya, and a person from Nanya must conform to the rules of Nanya when she marries.
Anyway, there is a set of cumbersome identification rules, which are recognized by the imperial court and registered as official concubines, which are protected by the law, and have a much higher status than ordinary people's concubines, which is equivalent to the concubines in the emperor's harem.
If you want to divorce a concubine or dispose of a concubine, you need the consent of the imperial court.
It can't be abandoned and disposed of at will without reason, and it is basically the same treatment as the wife, but it may not be as good as the wife or the flat wife in some guarantees.
For example, the rights of the concubine are not as good as those of the main wife or the equal wife, etc., in terms of the maintenance of the children and the distribution of property after the concubine is divorced.
According to the rules of the imperial court, Luo Xing, a first-class marquis, can have a wife, a flat wife and three concubines.
These five people can be recognized by the imperial court, and as for those other than the five people, the rights and interests cannot be guaranteed, it all depends on the husband's mood.
Luo Xing's reward is basically settled, and those who handed over the chapter and impeached it are estimated that it is time to stop for a while.
The question is, how should Luo Xing's next position be adjusted, whether to continue to serve as the director of the Yangzhou Assassin History and the Nanya Special Investigation Office, or to change his position, or to directly remove the word "Dai"?
This Luo Xing doesn't care, he has to have more important things to do.
The first is to harvest lotus seeds.
The second is to treat Huo Shanzi's hands, he can't drag it out, and after curing his hands, he began to set out to put a knife and a sword on himself and Qingyi.
The third is to resurrect the daughter of the Daoist Man, Yun'er.
In order to redeem Chiyao Zhenren, Longhu Mountain spent a lot of money to let Luo Xing smack the wool.
Among them, Longhu Mountain's unique "human pill" got three in one go, how this thing was practiced, no one knows, anyway, it can improve people's root bone qualifications, and there are no side effects, Longhu Mountain relies on this, has not broken the inheritance, and each generation can produce a few Tianjiao children.
But Longhu Mountain wants to become a holy land, but unfortunately it is still lacking in high-end combat power, and it may also be Tianjiao, who is promoted by "external force", is not as good as the congenital in terms of back strength, so after so many years of hard work, there are no more than three congenital transcendent masters in Longhu Mountain.
Chi Yao is the only one of the two congenital transcendents in the contemporary generation of the Dragon and Tiger, so he can only spend money to redeem people if he is taken care of.
Otherwise, the innate transcendence of Dragon and Tiger Mountain will become the commander of the light pole.
In addition to the three "human pills", there is also a rune scripture, which is the secret of Longhu Mountain, Luo Xing has the mentality of asking for a sky-high price.
I didn't expect the real person in charge of Longhu Mountain to agree to give it, of course, what was given was a transcription, and the real book would definitely not be able to be given, and Longhu Mountain kept it.
This talisman is a treasure inherited from Longhu Mountain, but if ordinary people look at it, it is a ghost painting talisman, but Luo Xing is different, he is a spiritual cultivator, and he can naturally spy on the mysteries.
The real person in charge of Longhu Mountain is really bold to do this, he regards Luo Xing as a lineage, in case the inheritance of Longhu Mountain is broken one day, at least there is still a lineage that is not broken.
In this way, he Luo Xing has become a member of Longhu Mountain, but now, no one will admit it, Luo Xing himself will not say it, and Longhu Mountain will not say this to the outside world.
If Luo Xing said it, there would be a lot of people who came to rob him, and he couldn't grab it from Longhu Mountain, so it was not easy to rob him.
And Longhu Mountain naturally won't announce such a humiliating thing, which is a good calculation.
There is no problem with this cause and effect to endure, he himself happens to lack the means of spiritual path attacks, and the talisman is also one of the spiritual path means, but compared to the jade spirit talisman, the attack of the talisman is relatively much shorter.
However, the cost of making the talisman is much lower than that of the jade spirit rune, and ordinary people can also use it, so the jade spirit rune is relatively required to stimulate certain conditions.
But the way of Fu Qi is not a spiritual system, but if you want to say that it is a crooked and evil way, then it is not, the lineage of Longhu Mountain is also related to the Lingguan Palace, and it can basically be regarded as a model of the Lingguan Palace's self-reliance, which is different from the Zixuanzong back then.
Zixuanzong's approach was too extreme, and he also tried to challenge the status of the Lingguan Palace, and it was not at all out of his way to be completely destroyed.
The method of talisman is also a profound knowledge, and Luo Xing has no time to study it at the moment, so he can only keep it in his mind first and study it generally.
The matter of harvesting lotus seeds is very simple, and the preparations have been done a long time ago, just waiting for the day when the lotus seeds will mature.
The second thing is much more difficult, it was originally planned to let Xue Qingqing be an assistant, but now that Xue Qingqing has returned to the Medicine King Valley, fortunately, there is still a Xue Shangxiang.
Xue Shangxiang's talent is still above her mother, what she lacks is just hands-on experience, but this time in Yangzhou, Xue Shangxiang's hands-on experience has been fully exercised, and hundreds of soldiers were injured in the battle with Nanchu, which made Xue Shangxiang's medical skills fully used and displayed, and even the operation of amputated limbs and reconnection She followed Luo Xingdu to do I don't know how many cases, especially later she did the operation alone, except for some special and difficult cases, most of the operations she has been able to complete independently.
This is also the reason why Luo Xing decided to return to Luojing and operated on Huo Shanzi to heal his hands.
If Emperor Yongxi removes him from the post of Acting as Assassin, he will be able to stay in Luojing, and the creation of weapons will be completed in Luojing.
If he still has to continue to go to Yangzhou, then after the operation is completed, take Huo Shanzi and the materials to Yangzhou together, anyway, it is a matter of a ship.
And now it seems that Emperor Yongxi doesn't want him to stay in Luojing.
As for the third thing, if Emperor Yongxi doesn't give him Luojing's time, he can only go to Yangzhou, which is his own one-acre and three-point land, and the emperor is far away, and he is relatively freer, even if he makes any moves, he can hold it down.
No matter what arrangements Emperor Yongxi makes, he has to wait until Qingyi comes back, he goes to Yangzhou to take up his post, it is impossible to leave his newly married wife in the capital, this must be taken away.
He is not a general in command of the army, and there is no need to put "hostages" in the capital.
The process of taking lotus seeds was very smooth, and this time Luo Xing went down much easier than the first time, and all nine lotus seeds were in hand.
"Ji Yu'er, how can I give you your three lotus seeds?" Luo Xing asked, Ji Yu'er is a spirit body, and the lotus seed is a physical object, how can she devour the lotus seed and absorb the energy inside?
"The best way is for you and me to be fellow practitioners in the Spiritual Consciousness Sea, and you will absorb the energy of the lotus seeds and then send it to me." Ji Yuer said.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, this is to reduce the energy loss of lotus seeds as much as possible, which is good for you and me." Ji Yuer said.
"Okay." Luo Xing agreed.
"You promised?"
"Why don't you say yes, isn't that what you've always wanted?" Luo Xing asked rhetorically, Ji Yuer often teased herself, always wanted to be a yin and yang practitioner with herself, and she always refused, and suddenly reversed, she must be a little uncomfortable.
"You have so many women now, will you still take me to heart?"
"Ji Yu'er, you are a spirit body, even if you cultivate a spirit body, you are not a real person, what else do you want?"
"But I'm also a woman, you suddenly agreed, I'm a little uncomfortable!"
"Okay, if you don't want to, then forget it, I have no obligation to cooperate with you anyway." Luo Xing said directly, really, he still wants to refuse to accept this set with himself, and he doesn't look at his current situation?
"Don't, don't, can you be a little reserved and let the slave family have a little sense of accomplishment?" Ji Yu'er pleaded softly.
"Not available!"
"Okay, okay, the slave family admits defeat, but the slave family has a request, that is, ......" Ji Yuer said embarrassedly.
"Are you sure?" Luo Xing was a little surprised, he didn't care what Ji Yuer wanted, but he was surprised that she could have such an idea.
"The slave family has never tasted the taste of being a real woman until he died, anyway, they are all practicing with you, can you fulfill my wish?"
Luo Xing thought about it for a while and agreed, anyway, in his spiritual consciousness sea, no one saw it, it was all an illusioned energy body, and he also wanted to experience what kind of effect the initiates between this energy body would have.
If you don't test it, no one will know.
