Chapter 542: Haichengzi
Immediately, Liang Cheng became the focus, completely different from the situation when all the officials ignored it before, and now Liang Cheng looked at it and saw enthusiastic smiling faces.
This kind of change in the two heavens of ice and fire can't help but make Liang Cheng, who is young and young and unfamiliar with officialdom, a little dazed, obviously facing the same group of people, the difference between before and after is too big.
However, Liang Cheng was not stupid after all, and his reaction was very fast, and he immediately saluted the officials who greeted him one by one with a sincere and modest smile on his face, and one of the officials present did not snub him.
Although Liang Cheng doesn't like this kind of hypocrisy in his heart, he is in the officialdom and can't help himself, so in order to avoid trouble, he is not willing to offend people casually inadvertently.
Seeing that Liang Cheng was doing things decently today, which was completely different from yesterday's stubborn attitude, Hu Yan Ruochen felt that his little beating had worked, and he was quite complacent, so he looked at Liang Cheng with a deep smile.
Of course, Liang Cheng knew in his heart that his lord was a little proud of his imperial skills, although he felt a little depressed in his heart, but he also knew that he had no reason to offend this backer, even if he was no longer willing to mix in the officialdom in the future, then he should get together and disperse, and there was no need to offend this hot county king.
So Liang Cheng reined in his edge and stood quietly in front of Hu Yan Ruochen, looking very humble, as if waiting for his further instructions.
Huyan Ruochen was satisfied when he saw Liang Cheng's attitude, so he looked at Liang Cheng with great meaning, and said softly: "Senior Brother Liang, you are still young, it is inevitable that you will be rash, and it was nothing originally, but in the court, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and behave decently." When we face the king for a while, you must be careful not to show your edge, of course, you should not be too decadent, as a young person, you must show your due momentum, you must always remember that you are the lord of Wanghai City, every word and deed represents this city that has fought bloodily, it is not appropriate to be arrogant, otherwise I will be sorry for the heroic spirits who died in Wanghai City, don't you say?"
Of course, Liang Cheng knew in his heart that Hu Yan Ruochen was saying a good thing, but in fact, in his heart, how could he have taken those victims of Wanghai City seriously! The reason why he said this was because he was worried that he would behave inappropriately when he was in front of the king, and that he would be implicated when the time came, so he used these words that seemed to be full of Ling Ran's righteousness to pressure himself.
However, in order to avoid trouble, Liang Cheng has decided to cooperate with the county king to perform this big drama today, and ensure that he will make a sufficient posture in front of the king and win glory for the king of Liaohe, so he nodded and said: "The teachings of the county king, Liang Cheng remembers it in his heart, please rest assured that the county king will never lose his honor in front of the palace!"
"Okay, okay, it's good if you understand!" Huyan Ruochen nodded and said no more.
At this time, a group of people came behind the square where the officials were, and Liang Cheng looked at them, only to see a few entourages walking over with a moonstone lantern, and the words on the lantern were "Denan County Mansion".
Liang Cheng has excellent eyesight, and at a glance, he recognized that the person who was surrounded by his entourage was the third prince Hu Yancan, and then looked at the words on the lantern, only to know that the third prince was obviously no match for the fifth prince Hu Yanruochen in the limelight in recent years, and he was not awarded the title of king, according to the words on the lantern, his title is only
It's just a duke.
However, Huyan Ruochen had no arrogance, and respectfully bowed to the Duke of Denan, and said, "Third brother is early!"
Seeing that the king of the county was so humble, Liang Cheng had to follow him reluctantly, but despite this, his eyes were cold, because he still remembered the grudge in his heart, this third prince is not a good thing, when Liang Cheng first took office a few years ago, he was almost killed by the killer he hired, such hatred can not be forgotten.
Denan County Gonghu Yancan reluctantly nodded at his third brother, and then glanced at Liang Cheng who was standing beside him, and didn't seem to recognize Liang Chenglai, and then walked forward without saying a word, looking lonely, far away from everyone.
The officials in the field have long known that this Duke of Denan County has lost power, and this time I am afraid that he will be implicated because of some things that happened in Wanghai City, and it is estimated that he will be unlucky, and whether he can keep his current status is doubtful, so he should not think about anything good.
Therefore, after the Duke arrived, no one greeted him, that is, those officials who were attached to him in the past stood far away intentionally or unintentionally, and they couldn't draw a line with him quickly, Liang Cheng saw this, shook his head slightly, and was even more disgusted with this officialdom in his heart.
Seeing the betrayal of the Duke of Denan, the corners of Hu Yan Ruochen's mouth raised slightly, revealing an inexplicable smile.
After waiting for about half an hour, a wisp of fish belly white was revealed in the east, and the gate of the imperial city slowly opened, and then several yellow doors came out, and all the officials waiting in the field were introduced into the carrying hall.
The officials stood solemnly in the carrying hall for a moment, and a yellow door dragged a long voice and saluted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived—"
"Long live my emperor, long live!" all the officials immediately bowed to the ground and saluted.
"All the ministers are flat!"
Compared with a few years ago, Hu Yanliang, the lord of the country, still looks energetic and sharp-eyed. I saw him walk up to the high platform, and after sitting down on the dragon chair in the middle, he waved his hand slightly to signal the officials to be flat.
Hu Yanliang's majestic gaze swept over the civil and military ministers standing below, and then said slowly: "It's been a while since I've called the early dynasty, and the reason why I summoned you to come here today must have you already known it in your hearts." That's because my Daxuan won a great victory in the decisive battle with the Sea Clan in Wanghai City, and there are both those who have made meritorious contributions to the country and those who have fornicated with the Sea Clan, so today the widow must not only do the things of merit and reward, but also the things of punishment for crimes......"
......
This time the early dynasty took an extremely long time, and it ended almost at noon, and the content really revolved around the battle of Wanghai City.
The thing that annoys the current lord the most is the matter of Wei Honglin, the prime minister of Zuo, collaborating with the enemy, because his mistake this time almost buried the territory of Wanghai City and the Great Xuan Kingdom, so the lord of the country Hu Yanliang was extremely angry! The first thing he discussed with the ministers was how to convict Wei Honglin.
Wei Honglin's position as Prime Minister Zuo was naturally dismissed without any suspense, and the person had already been imprisoned in prison for several days.
But although the capital crime is exempted, the living crime is unforgivable, and the final result is that Wei Honglin is sealed
For cultivation, he was sentenced to serve in the Qianjimen mine for 3,000 years, and changed from the power-leaning Prime Minister Zuo to a mining slave, which can be regarded as falling from the clouds to the dust.
As for the Wei Mansion, it was completely confiscated and confiscated, and all the people in the mansion who had meritorious names were reduced to the people, and they were sent to the frontier and were never allowed to enter Beijing. did not demote the people of the Wei Mansion to slavery, which is already extraordinarily generous.
The third prince Hu Yancan was also fined for one year because of improper recommendation, delaying the major affairs of the family and country, and was also demoted by one level, from the Duke of Denan County to the county of Zhengdang, and his status has plummeted, and it seems that there is no hope of competing for the throne again in the future.
As for Liang Cheng, the lord of Wanghai City, he was greatly praised by the lord of the country, but because he was really young and low-level cultivation, he was not promoted too much, but was only awarded the title of Sanpin Zhengyi Doctor for merit, and the title of Prince of Haicheng was added, and 20 million high-grade spirit stones were rewarded.
In this way, Liang Cheng, a young official, became a member of the Sanpin, and also had the title of viscount, although according to the regulations of the Great Xuanguo, the titles below the earl did not have fiefs and fiefs, but Liang Cheng's fortune increased a lot, and he also divided a large mansion to him in the west of Yong'an City, which was his Haicheng Viscount's Mansion.
However, it can also be seen that the imperial court is still a little embarrassed about rewarding Liang Cheng, because his cultivation is too shallow, so he is unwilling to give him any official position and then release him, but he has been crowned as a three-rank official doctor.
Now Liang Cheng can be said to be promoted to the rank of knight, but glory is glory, but he has no real power in his hands.
This situation is exactly what Liang Cheng wants, he is tired of messing around in the officialdom, and is looking for a quiet place to rest for a while, carefully consider where his future way out is, and by the way, he will do the one thing that promised the holy lamp.
Now he is a seemingly high-ranking and powerful official, but he has no real name. There is no responsibility on his body, which is suitable for Liang Cheng's plan.
As for the king of Liaohe County, Huyan Ruochen, it is because of the meritorious recommendation, the title has risen by one level, and he was named Prince Jing, and the fief of the seal includes the whole state of Jingzhou, including Liaohe County, and the territory has expanded at least ten times, becoming the biggest winner, this time his position has been unshakable, Liang Cheng feels that in time, even if His Royal Highness King Jing gets the position of prince, it will not be surprising.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liang Cheng inevitably wanted to go to the new palace of King Jing to celebrate the banquet, and when he arrived in the mansion, he saw that the people present were almost the same people as yesterday, but Liang Cheng had already packed up his mood, and he was no longer happy and angry.
When it was time to say goodbye at the end of the banquet, His Royal Highness King Jing took Liang Cheng's hand and comforted him earnestly.
King Jing Huyan Ruochen said: "Senior brother, this time you have made outstanding achievements, but you have only received this reward, I really wronged you, but you need to take a long-term view, work hard to cultivate and improve yourself, in the future, this king will rely on you more places, don't care about the gains and losses in front of you, can you understand the meaning of this king?"
Liang Cheng said: "Your Highness rest assured, the humble job understands in his heart that the current cultivation of the humble post is really shallow and unbearable, so he will naturally cultivate well and serve the country and His Highness in the future!"
