Chapter 137: Becoming an Official
With a burst of chanting, an Ouchi guard walked in.
Jiang Ning looked at it, and he was still an old acquaintance.
It was one of the people who accompanied Zhu Houzhao at the same time.
I saw that he gave Jiang Ning a reassuring look, and then said loudly:
"Feng, the emperor of heaven carries the edict, and the edict says:
The commander of the inner factory, the commander of the guards and the army, Wu An Bo Jiangning worked hard in Datong, and it was rare to go home, and he was specially ordered to rest at home for a day, without entering the palace, and then enter the palace tomorrow to meet the queen mother! ”
Jiang Ning showed joy.
Zhu Houzhao received the news quite quickly, so it's best not to go today.
It's just strange to him that he never has to go to the morning court, how can he specially ask him to participate tomorrow.
Jiang Ning squinted his eyes, didn't he make any big moves?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he quickly put the matter behind him.
After all, I finally went home, and I really didn't want to calculate anything.
Let's take a day off.
The middle-aged eunuch looked at the holy decree in the guard's hand, so he had to confess his guilt to Jiang Ning and take people away.
Because the decree is not as great as the decree.
At night, lanterns are hung high all over the Wu'anbo Mansion, illuminating the night as bright as day, as if to celebrate the safe return of the main backbone.
Jiang Ning was satisfied with the dinner with all the women, and then came to the flower hall together, drinking tea while telling them about the experience of this trip to Datong.
Hearing the interesting part, Li Yuner and a few people smiled smartly; Hearing the tension and excitement, several people frowned, and their hands were entangled and tightly grasped the skirt.
It can be seen that Jiang Ning still has a hand in storytelling.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the story of Ni Xiang Lou, that would be too slight.
Zheng Fangrui sat near the corner, looking at the warm and sweet scene of Jiang Ning and Li Yun'er's three daughters, only to feel a touch of bitterness and sourness welling up in her heart.
Especially seeing that Meng Wanning was integrated into it, looking like a real family, she felt more and more out of place.
After looking at Jiang Ning stupidly for a long time, Zheng Fangrui held back her tears, and suddenly got up and said:
"Master, madam, the slave suddenly felt a little unwell, so I went back to rest first.
Please also go back to the room to sleep early, the master has come all the way, and the journey is tiring, so you must not be tired. ”
As she spoke, she lowered her head, quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked away quickly.
"Sister Fangrui, does it matter? Why don't you find a doctor? ”
Meng Wanning didn't know what was going on, thinking that she was really sick.
Li Yun'er's three daughters looked at Jiang Ning in unison, and the meaning was self-evident.
Jiang Ning smiled wryly:
"Rui'er is right, it's late, you all go back early to rest.
I'll go see her first, and it won't be good if she's really sick. ”
Jiang Ning walked out of the flower hall and quickly followed Zheng Fangrui, who had already turned the corner.
"Rui'er, I'll send it to you."
Zheng Fangrui's dim beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, but she didn't respond.
She was still a little angry in her heart, Qi Jiangning almost ignored her from beginning to end, and she was angry that she was useless, she just couldn't hang on to the tip of people's hearts.
When the two walked to a corridor without saying a word, Zheng Fangrui suddenly stopped, bit her lip and said:
"Master, the slave family is almost here, you don't have to send it, please rest with your wife earlier."
There was a hint of coldness in his tone, even a hint of detachment.
After saying that, she turned around and stepped on the lotus foot and walked forward.
Jiang Ning hurriedly stopped her and said, "Rui'er, did I do something wrong today that made you angry?" ”
Zheng Fangrui turned around, pursed her mouth, and said aggrievedly:
"A 'Rui'er' screamed, and asked me what I did wrong?
Are you really stupid or fake? “
Jiang Ning was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
Of course, he knew the reason, and he also knew Zheng Fangrui's heart for him.
But he just got into trouble in Datong not long ago, and he didn't understand that matter.
How dare you entangle the last one casually.
"The master is speechless? There is no need to say anything about it after that. ”
Zheng Fangrui snorted angrily, turned around and continued to walk towards her small courtyard.
It's just that her steps are very slow, as if she wants to deliberately let Jiang Ning catch up.
But Jiang Ning just stood in place, stunned and didn't move.
Zheng Fangrui quietly glanced back, only to feel that she was amorous, glared angrily, and ran away quickly.
Jiang Ning sighed and walked slowly towards the main courtyard of the inner house.
Pushing open the door and entering, I saw Li Yun'er wearing only a thin pale pink shirt, kneeling on the bed with snow-white and delicate jade feet, making the bed and folding the quilt.
The gauze drapery on both sides had also been lowered, apparently ready to rest.
Noticing a figure outside the bed, Li Yun'er pulled open the curtain, revealing a small head, and said in surprise:
"Xianggong, why are you back? I thought it was ......"
She suddenly remembered what Zheng Fangrui had told her before, and kept silent with a shy face.
"Why? Think I'm going to Xian'er or Ming'er? ”
Jiang Ning unbuttoned his robe and said, "I went home the day before today, and I wanted to sleep with you." ”
Li Yun'er snorted: "But I'm pregnant, so it's not good to serve my father-in-law." Xianggong has been outside for so long, and the army is full of men......
Why don't you go to the two sisters of Xian'er or Ming'er. ”
Jiang Ning suddenly remembered the charm of Ni Shanglou, laughed dryly, lay on the bed, and hugged her into his arms in the exclamation of his wife:
"But I really miss Yun'er so much, I must hold Yun'er to sleep tonight to be stable."
"Xianggong."
Li Yun'er called out shyly, snuggled up to his chest, and said with blurred eyes:
"I'd love to be with Xianggong too."
Jiang Ning smiled, suddenly got into the quilt, and pressed his face against her soft belly.
It took a long time before he came out and said: "I haven't seen more than a month, Yun'er's lower abdomen is slightly bulging, it seems that our child has grown up very healthy." ”
Li Yun'er smiled, but frowned again, and muttered:
"Xianggong, you can help me see if I have gained a lot of weight.
Sister Fang Rui and her two younger sisters have been giving me a lot of supplements lately? ”
"Shall I see?"
Jiang Ning gently pinched Li Yun'er's smooth and white chin, looked at it carefully for a while, and said:
"No, it's still delicate, more delicate than before."
He's telling the truth.
Because after Li Yuner became pregnant, she not only had a little more charm than before, she was no longer the young lady, but also plump.
It makes him love it.
"Yun'er, let's rest in peace."
"Hmmm......"
Li Yun'er responded softly and glutinously, her hands and legs were tightly wrapped around Jiang Ning's body, her beautiful eyes were closed, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Ning was neatly dressed, put on a python robe given by the emperor, and sat in a sedan chair to enter the city and enter the palace.
When he waited outside the noon gate, he found that like him in the past, many ministers and nobles who did not need to go to the court came.
Even Cheng Lao Guogong is among them.
Jiang Ning's brows tightened.
What does Zhu Houzhao want to do?
Just as he was thinking, he only heard the bell ringing, and hundreds of officials lined up left and right, and the fish rushed in.
After the ministers in the Fengtian Hall stood still, Zhu Houzhao finally sat on the dragon chair belatedly, and Liu Jin stood on the side of the steps.
After seeing the ceremony, the ministers who were still unsatisfied yesterday were about to admonish again, so they heard Liu Jin say aloud first:
"Wu Anbo Jiangning stepped forward to listen to the order!"
Jiang Ning was stunned, and stepped forward with the puzzled gaze of hundreds of officials: "Minister Jiang Ning takes the order!" ”
"Feng, the emperor of heaven carries the edict, and the edict says:
I patrol the fortunate Datong, break the Tartars, and make a lot of money, all thanks to Wu Anbo Jiangning's repeated strange schemes, and negotiate with Huadang day and night to protect our society and strengthen the prestige of our country.
Today, he was specially awarded the title of Wu'an Bo Jiang Ning into the Marquis of Wu'an, awarded the title of Shangzhu State, and was named the hussar general! ”
When the words fell, the officials were in an uproar.
Jiang Ning didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In this way, he has titles, martial honors, military officials, and titles of real power.
It can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
Just when the ministers were about to admonish, Liu Jin said again:
"The three scholars, Zhang Yong and Miao Kui, stepped forward to listen to the order."
Li Dongyang and the three of them glanced at each other, thought of something, and stepped forward with some excitement.
And Zhang Yong and Miao Kui also came out of nowhere and saluted together.
As the ministers expected, these five also had their own rewards.
On the grounds of doing their best to stabilize the court and be loyal to the monarch and the country, Li Dongyang was crowned as the Taishi and specially entered the Ronglu doctor.
Jiao Fang and Yang Tinghe are good doctors and add pillars.
Zhang Yong and Miao Kui were not promoted much as internal officials, but they each received a few internal supervision divisions, plus the glory of being able to ride a horse and ride a sedan chair in the palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although Li Dongyang was happy to be promoted to the rank of official, he also understood that this was Zhu Houzhao's counterattack to the ministers.
Since the ministers degraded Datong's exploits to nothing, he made a wish to all the courtiers who accompanied him.
Isn't this the best proof of his achievements?
Thinking of this, Li Dongyang stroked his beard and sighed secretly.
He knew that today's early dynasty might not end so easily.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty think twice! ”
