After handing over Yuan Hong's edict, the envoy took out another edict and said: "There is also the first edict of the Son of Heaven after the new monarch ascended the throne, which was awarded to Yuan Hussar, and received the edict. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yuan Qi fell to his knees again, quietly waiting for the edict of the Son of Heaven to be read.

The envoy opened the edict of Yuan Xie and read: "The edict of the Son of Heaven said, I first ascended to the great treasure, and my heart was terrified. As for foreign affairs, whenever I think about the first emperor, wars broke out in various places, resulting in a sluggish dynasty and the people of Li suffering. I have no peace in my heart day and night. In order to make the four seas clear, the hussar general, the champion Hou, and the leader Youzhou Mu Yuan were named the hussar generals, and the rest should remain unchanged, and the hussar generals were granted the right and responsibility to levy the subordinates. Chin!"

Yuan Xie's edict almost lifted Yuan Qi to an unparalleled position, and if he went further, he would be crowned king. Why do you say that, this edict seems simple, but in fact it contains several layers of meaning. First, the promotion of Yuan Qi from a hussar general to a hussar general seems to be just one more "big" word, but the power and responsibility are much greater than in the past. In this world, the generals who are crowned with big characters are all important ministers with real power, and often only the generals with particularly old qualifications will be crowned with big characters. Even Fan Jin is only a general, slightly inferior to the hussar general of Yuan Qi.

Second, the original position remains unchanged, which means that Yuan Qi can continue to exercise the power and responsibility of Youzhou Mu while holding heavy troops, in other words, let Yuan Qi grasp both the army and the government, not only holding the army, but also managing the political affairs of a state. This is among the previous emperors before Yuan Xie, but there has never been an appointment, and completely delegating power to one person is something that no emperor will do, but Yuan Xie just did it!

Third, grant Yuan Qi the right and responsibility to levy non-ministers. This point is not trivial, the so-called conquest of non-ministers, to put it bluntly, is that Yuan Xie gave Yuan Qi great authority, to see who is disrespectful to the court, or who Yuan Qi feels is going to be disrespectful to the court, he has the right to send troops to fight. If this edict had been promulgated before Yuan Qi became Nanyang Tai Punctuality and met Huang Zu on the street, then Yuan Qi could justifiably kill Huang Zu at that time! It can be seen that the implication of this conquest of non-subordinates represents how much power Yuan Xie gave to Yuan Qi, and at the same time, it can also be seen how much trust Yuan Xie gave Yuan Qi. With this article, no matter who Yuan Qi asks for in the future, he will have a legitimate reason.

Fourth, the edict stated that Yuan Qi could go to the temple with a sword, pay homage to the unknown, and enter the court. This is a privilege that the Son of Heaven would only grant to a highly favored minister. According to the law of this world, when the ministers go to the palace to see the Son of Heaven, they must take off their swords, take off their shoes, wait outside the palace for the announcement, and only after receiving the summons of the Son of Heaven can they enter the palace hall, and they must also take small steps to show respect for the Son of Heaven. Yuan Xie and Yuan Qi have a very good personal relationship, in the capital for half a year, Yuan Xie learned a lot of things from Yuan Qi here, deeply influenced by Yuan Qi's thinking in later generations, knowing that Yuan Qi does not like to kneel and worship, so he simply lifted all the shackles of Yuan Qi, so that Yuan Qi can carry a sword, wear shoes, and do not have to wait for the Son of Heaven to pass directly into the palace hall, and there is no need to move forward, just stride in, and after seeing the Son of Heaven, there is no need to bow down. This honor can be described as a great time!

Based on the above four points, it is enough to show that Yuan Xie really trusts Yuan Qi. In fact, this is also the butterfly effect brought about by the crossing of the yuan. When he was teaching Yuan Xie in the capital, Yuan Qi had hinted to Yuan Xie, intentionally or unintentionally, that the country would face a big chaos soon, and the starting point was Yuan Hong's death. Then Dong Meng of Xiliang will cause trouble in the capital and set off round after round of bloody rain. Although Yuan Xie and Yuan Qi have only been together for half a year, he was impressed by Yuan Qi's noble character of caring for the people of the world. Therefore, Yuan Xie already knows how to seize the opportunity and how to protect himself in the most advantageous way. Yuan Xie took advantage of the fact that he had just ascended the throne and all the contradictions between the DPRK and China had not yet appeared, and immediately promulgated the first edict of the Son of Heaven, giving Yuan Qi great power, allowing Yuan Qi to support troops outside, and also a check on some people with ulterior motives in the DPRK.

Of course, in addition to his extreme trust in Yuan Qi and regard Yuan Qi as his own brother, Yuan Xie's promulgation of this edict also has a meaning, he understands that he will never be able to control the entire Yuan clan with his own strength, so he did not hesitate to reward Yuan and pull Yuan up as foreign aid. It was used to deter the ambitious princes of all stripes. However, in the final analysis, Yuan Xie's edict was still out of trust in Yuan Qi, otherwise Yuan Qi would not have been given such prominent power.

After reading the first edict of the Son of Heaven, the entire hall became silent. After the edict was read out, everyone was deeply shocked by the several layers of meaning contained in the edict! What is the difference between this and the title of king? In fact, it is indeed different, this is greater and more affordable than the ordinary prince, and the prince will also pay homage when he sees the Son of Heaven, he does not need it, and the prince cannot ask for non-ministers at will, he can. This is not the general feeling of being powerful and flying, and that's it.

Yuan Qi himself was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that Yuan Xie's trust in him would reach such an overwhelming level. In his mind, he unconsciously flashed that on the day of his wedding, Yuan Xie secretly ran into the Xianqin Palace with a face full of innocence to peek at his appearance. The hairy boy back then is now a genius. Yuan Qi still clearly remembers that at that time, he liked to touch Yuan Xie's little head with his hands.

"Yuan Hussar...... That, Yuanzhou Mu, uh, Junhou, please take the order. ”

For the title of Yuan Qi, the envoy seems a little at a loss, called the hussar general, not appropriate, because Yuan Qi has been crowned with the position of hussar general, should be called the Yuan general, but then the name is a little awkward; called the state pastor, it is also not appropriate, the former Youzhou Mu has not resigned, and Yuan Ying is still Yuan Qi's father, in front of Yuan Ying to call Yuan Qi the state pastor, it is really a little difficult; the title of champion marquis, in the history of the Yuan family for hundreds of years, is definitely an honor, so far, counting Yuan Qi, only four people have been given the title of champion marquis, so that the title can not only show the dignity of Yuan Qi's identity, but also have no other violations。 In fact, it's no wonder that the envoy, who let Yuan Hong and Yuan Xie's father and son give Yuan Qi so many official positions one after another?

Yuan Qi's tiger body was shocked, and he stood on the spot and said loudly: "Chen Yuanqi received the order, thank the saint for Longen." "Since Yuan Xie gave Yuan Qi the privilege of not having to bow down, it is in line with Yuan Qi's intentions, as a soul who has crossed over in later generations, Yuan Qi is also not used to kneeling. Therefore, Yuan Qi naturally stood and accepted the order.

It wasn't until Yuan Qi stood and took the edict of the Son of Heaven that all the civil and military officers in Youzhou came to their senses, looking at Yuan Qi's upright body, their eyes were full of eagerness. These people can appear at the celebration banquet of Yuan Qi, and they are naturally officials that Yuan Ying thinks is trustworthy, and they are relatively loyal and upright officials. Therefore, these civil and military officials did not have any jealousy for Yuan Qi to receive this honor, but were sincerely gratified. In fact, among the officials in Youzhou, the vast majority of people have long regarded Yuan Qi as the next state pastor, and many people call Yuan Qi a young master rather than a general. Now that Yuan Ying has been promoted, Yuan Qi naturally takes over the post of state pastor, which is something that these officials like to see.

At the moment, Wenchen was headed by Yan Yi, and General Wu took the lead in Shi Jia, and came to Yuan Ying's father and son in two shifts to congratulate Yuan Ying on his promotion and Yuan Qi's appointment as state pastor. All of a sudden, the whole hall became noisy again, and everyone celebrated loudly, congratulating the state pastor and his family on their double happiness. In the end, at Shi Jia's suggestion, this banquet, which was originally a celebration of Yuan Qi's achievements, became a farewell party and a reception banquet, which not only saw off Yuan Ying, but also received the wind for Yuan Qi's appointment. Dozens of officials in Youzhou, after the banquet, all returned drunk.

Three days later, the west gate of Jicheng.

Yuan Ying and Yuan Qi, father and son, stood side by side on the city wall at the west gate, looking at the unreachable land of Shenzhou.

"Do you still remember the song you thought you were doing?" Yuan Ying broke the silence first.

Yuan Qi didn't speak, and nodded slightly.

Yuan Ying recited in a low voice: "I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, I read the world and the world, and I am alone and crying." Yuan Qi, now your status and status have never been seen before or since, and you have done it in the first two sentences of this poem. In the future, remember to treat the people of Youzhou well, and not let the people under your rule be displaced and wept. ”

Yuan Qi replied firmly: "Father, rest assured, the child's heart is not just to let the people of Youzhou have enough food and clothing. I, the tens of millions of people of the Yuan family, the children will put it in their hearts. ”

Yuan Ying stretched out his hand and patted Yuan Qi's broad shoulder, and said with relief: "My son has this ambition, and it is not in vain for my father to raise you." By the way, now that the situation between the DPRK and China is in crisis, my father is the big Sima this time, and I don't know what the future holds. Your mother will stay in Jicheng, with you and Yi'er to take care of you, and you can rest assured as a father. ”

Yuan Qi felt that Yuan Ying seemed to have the intention of explaining the aftermath, and changed color and said: "Why did father say these unlucky words, the child and mother hope that you can return safely." However, the form of the DPRK is indeed very delicate, although Xiao Xie'er, uh, although the Son of Heaven has ascended the throne, but after all, he is still young, Fan Jin and the eunuch party have been fighting for power and profit for half their lives, and it is impossible to be indifferent at this critical juncture, but the child thinks that these people are not to be afraid, and the only thing that makes the child feel dangerous is Xiliang Dong Meng. This person is a wolf and ambitious, no matter what happens in the court, his father must not let this person enter the capital. ”

Yuan Ying turned his head to look at Yuan Qi, and said concentratingly: "Xiliang Dong Meng, for my father to believe in your judgment, this matter has been written down for my father." ”

Yuan Qi sighed, I don't know if the wheel of history will be deflected because of his arrival, if it is still developed in the previous order, after Dong Meng enters Beijing, the troubled times will really come. Forget it, it's man-made, Yuan Qi knows that he can't control the inertial development of history, so he no longer bothered about this matter.

Looking up at the sky, Yuan Qi said with some reluctance: "Father, it's not early, it's time to leave." ”

Yuan Ying nodded silently, and under Yuan Qi's gaze, he turned around and walked down the city, and then accompanied by dozens of guards who had been waiting outside the West City Gate, he left Jicheng and headed in the direction of the capital.
