Yan Li's eyes were moist: "Uncle Huang, I thought I was the only one left in the Yan family. I didn't expect to see Uncle Huang in this life. I am so happy!"
Yan Shijie laughed loudly: "This is God's will! Your grandfather, that is, my father, was kind to the people. God saw it, so he didn't let him destroy the country. I was so happy when I heard that you became the emperor that night. Didn't sleep all night."
Rong Changan was also happy to meet Yan Li's uncle and nephew, and saluted beside him: "Rong Changan has met the emperor's uncle."
Yan Shijie quickly helped Rong Changan up: "You are a great hero of the Great Jing Kingdom, how can I let you salute me twice? I have already performed the ceremony of seniority just now, and now it is time for me, as a subject, to salute you and the emperor." .”
As he spoke, he knelt down.
Yan Li hurriedly supported him: "Uncle Emperor, we finally got to know each other as uncle and nephew. Today there is no difference between monarch and minister, only uncle and nephew. If you kneel down, you will break Yan Li."
Rong Changan also said: "What the emperor said is that a family has so much etiquette!"
Yan Shijie is a well-read person who knows what righteousness is, and he is a little humble: "Since you all said that, I will not kneel. Yan Li, good job, you have cleared the shame of our Yan family, your grandfather The spirit in heaven should also rest in peace."
Thinking of the experience of the Yan family, the two uncles and nephews couldn't help sighing. In the evening, Yan Li hosted a banquet for Yan Shijie in the government office to cleanse him up. From then on, everyone knew that Yan Li had an uncle.
During the mingling of toasts, Rong Changan suddenly said to Yan Li:
"The emperor's uncle and the emperor have not heard from each other for a long time, and now they finally get to know each other. The emperor's uncle must have suffered a lot during this period of time. The emperor does not know why he should confer the emperor's uncle with an official title or title, so as to honor and favor the emperor's uncle?"
Yan Li couldn't help being moved: "Thinking that my Yan family was withered, I almost lost my incense. Now that I know that there is an emperor uncle who is still alive, I am more happy than Deng Xian. The emperor uncle is like a biological father, and I will definitely bestow him with the greatest title. .Queen, try to think for me, what kind of title should I bestow on Uncle Huang?"
In fact, Rong Changan had already thought about it in his stomach: "Generally, meritorious officials are appointed as marquises, and six relatives are appointed as kings. Chen Jun is just your sworn brother, so he was made King of Wenchang, let alone your uncle! So I thought, whether Can you make the emperor's uncle the King of Yan?"
The land of King Yan is three thousand miles from east to west, and more than one thousand miles from north to south, occupying one-third of the land, manpower and financial resources of Dajing Kingdom, and the land of Yanyun is good at sending out powerful troops, and entrusting such an important place as Yan Shijie, Yan Shijie Li really hesitated.
"The emperor's uncle has lived in the mountains for a long time, I'm afraid he won't be qualified for such a high title."
Rong Chang'an said: "If the land of Yanyun is entrusted to the emperor uncle, there are two advantages."
Yan Li: "Queen, please speak."
Rong Chang'an talked eloquently: "The only person who can be trusted now is the uncle of the emperor. Does the emperor think there is anyone else? If someone else goes to town Yanyun, I'm afraid that there will be more soldiers and more generals at that time, which will inspire his rebellious heart." , just like Pan Meichen. So it is the best thing to entrust such a good place to the same surname. Second, once foreign enemies invade the frontier, how can the emperor, as the Yan family, not give up his life to resist? This is also for the country For the sake of the people."
Yan Li suddenly realized: "It seems that this King Yan is none other than the emperor's uncle."
Rong Chang'an said: "It's not too late, the emperor will tell everyone about this decision immediately."
Yan Li then cleared his throat: "Ahem, please be quiet for now, I have an important decision to tell you."
Xiong Yanchao drank a big mouthful of wine, and took advantage of the drunkenness to ask loudly: "What decision does the emperor have?"
Everyone sitting there stopped talking, listening intently to know what Yan Li was going to announce.
Yan Li's eyes glanced at everyone's faces, and finally fell on Yan Shijie: "I just discussed with the queen and decided to reward the emperor as King Yan..."
Yan Li hadn't finished speaking, and everyone "wowed".
If you are named the King of Yan, you can kill officials in the territory you have entrusted, and all the people and things in the territory are owned by the King of Yan. King Yan can have his own army, estimated to be no less than 100,000, and they are all strong soldiers. King Yan is equivalent to a little emperor.
Yan Shijie just met Yan Li and got such a high title, almost everyone cast envious eyes on him.
However, Yan Shijie was terrified, stood up from his seat, and bowed to Yan Li and Rong Changan: "Your Majesty, please take it back."
Yan Shijie's statement was beyond everyone's expectation.
Yan Li was also very puzzled: "The emperor thinks this title is too low?"
Yan Shijie said: "It's not that I think the title is too small, but that it's too important, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Your Majesty, it's better to choose another meritorious minister to be the King of Yan."
Yan Li and Rong Changan did not see Yan Shijie's ability, but compared to ability, Yan Li and Rong Changan valued loyalty and trust more.
"I have already discussed with the empress, this king of Yan must belong to the emperor's uncle, so don't refuse the emperor's uncle."
Yan Shijie still refused to accept the decree: "If the emperor is nepotism, I'm afraid that many ministers and generals here will not be convinced. So, please think twice before acting."
It turned out that what Yan Shijie was worried about was the jealousy of others.
Yan Li pointed to Rong Chang'an: "The ministers and generals here can think that I am nepotism, but everyone must know the queen's behavior style. She is a selfless person, so she chose the emperor's uncle as the king of Yan, naturally she has her considerations. If anyone is not convinced, he will come up to argue with the queen."
Everyone thought that this decision was made by Yan Li, but they didn't expect it to be Rong Chang'an. Those generals were either fighting with Rong Chang'an, or were Rong Chang'an's former subordinates. They all knew that Rong Chang'an was selfless and resolute, so all suspicions in their hearts were eliminated.
"Which Queen Rong's decision was not correct? She proposed to let the emperor be the king of Yan, so she has her own reasons. Why are we not convinced?"
"Perhaps, Uncle Huang is capable, but we just haven't seen it."
Zi Yan was not happy in her heart, she thought: Isn't Rong Changan just trying to win people's hearts? The emperor's uncle was named the King of Yan, with a hundred thousand armor, he was Rong Chang'an's powerful foreign aid, and she would not be afraid if someone would turn against her in the future. Hmph, originally I wanted to make friends with the emperor's uncle, but she took the lead.
Yan Shijie looked at Rong Changan gratefully, not knowing what to say.
Yan Li raised his glass and stood up: "Uncle Emperor, don't refuse, from today on, you are my King Yan. Everyone raise their cups and toast King Yan."
Yan Shijie had no choice but to accept Yan Li's gift. Tomorrow, I will go back to the capital with Yan Li and the others.
The next day, Yan Li issued an imperial decree announcing that Chen Jun would succeed Ma Guang as prefect of Wenchang County.
On the third day, after Yan Li and Chen Jun had a brief farewell, Emperor Fajia set off and returned to the shore, intending to continue to travel up the ship and return to the capital.
Fajia passed by Chulin Villa, Rong Changan stopped Chejia.
"My lord, have you forgotten something?"
Yan Li was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Rong Changan smiled, untied the curtain of the car, and pointed to the lush and green Chulin Villa: "You forgot that there is a beauty in the villa, waiting for you to get her."
Yan Li suddenly became unhappy, and looked at Rong Chang'an seriously; "I have no intention of taking Chu Fei'er back to the palace, let's forget about it."
Rong Chang'an said: "You are the emperor, a gentleman has no jokes, since I have already agreed to Chu Lin and Chu Fei'er, why did I change my mind halfway? If it gets out, it will be bad for my image of the emperor, right?"
Yan Li turned his face away: "If it's not good, it's not good, I don't care!"
"But I care!" Rong Changan did not give in at all, "Since I promised Chu Fei'er, if I want to bring her into the palace, I must fulfill my promise."
Yan Li stared at Longmu angrily: "Chang'an, what are you doing!"
Rong Chang'an said: "I have said something, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back."
