After retiring from the court, Man Bao was still a little dazed when he stood up, is this the end
She pondered for a while, and couldn't help but turned her head and said to Tang He: "If I get promoted two more times, I will be regarded as a great official in the frontier."
As long as you enter the third rank, you will be the official of the frontier, the figure on the top of the pyramid.
Tang He expressed that he didn't really want to talk to her, so he looked forward and took two steps forward, almost colliding with County Magistrate Guo. After the two looked at each other, County Magistrate Guo stretched out his hand to hold Tang He and said, "Tang County Ling, should we discuss the distribution of agricultural seeds in the two counties this year?"
Tang He nodded, "Not bad."
Go out with Magistrate Guo.
The officials at the side congratulated Zhou Man with a smile on her promotion, and also congratulated Bai Shanxi on being promoted to the title.
Man Bao hurriedly returned the gift, but after staring at his smiling face for a while, he quickly caught up with Tang He and asked him in a low voice, "Brother Tang, I always think their expressions are a bit strange."
Tang He paused and said: "No wonder, they are envious and jealous of you, just like the two of us."
County Magistrate Guo: "... County Magistrate Tang is joking, Mr. Zhou's promotion is a good thing, we can only congratulate you, how can you be jealous?"
Even if you are jealous in your heart, you must not admit it with your mouth.
Tang He glanced at him, thinking that he was dishonest, even he was a little bit jealous, how could he not be jealous
He thought of something, his body became stiff, and he turned to look at her, "How sure is the cowpox method...?"
Man Bao: "Eighty percent, anyway, it won't be less than eighty percent."
Tang He understood a little bit why the emperor pressured her to only promote her by half a rank.
The county magistrate Guo at the side also understood a little bit. He felt more stuffy, so he turned and left.
Tang He stopped him, "Master Guo, wait for me, I will walk with you."
Man Bao followed, "Brother Tang, are they really just envious? I still find it weird."
Tang He turned back and smiled at her as he walked out: "You don't want to know, okay, today is the first day of seal opening, you must have a lot of things to do, hurry back to the East Palace."
But Man Bao hadn't returned to the East Palace yet, he just turned around and was stopped by a palace lady, she said: "Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu are waiting for you at the gate of the palace."
Man Bao: "I'm on duty today, so I don't have time."
The maid smiled and said: "Princess and Your Majesty have asked for an order. The Tai Hospital has already approved your vacation, so don't worry."
Man Bao dubiously went to the gate of the palace, where he saw Bai Shan and the others who had withdrawn from the Great Court Assembly ahead of schedule.
She immediately ran up, "Why are you all here?"
Bai Shandao: "We reckoned that the servant who announced the decree would be going home for a while, so we planned to leave the palace and go home, and we met two princesses at the gate."
Mingda laughed and said, "I originally asked to go to the Huguo Temple to pay homage to the Buddha on the sixth day of the lunar new year, but my father did not agree, and only agreed to my eighth day, so we asked you to take a day off."
The fact that the two daughters handed over the money to Zhou Man to buy local products in the Western Regions could not be hidden from the emperor, so when Ming Da mentioned going to the Buddha, he knew what they were going to do, and deliberately moved the date to today, just to tell Zhou Man and the others, He wasn't angry because...
Chang Yu already knew about the rewards at the court meeting, and said to Man Bao with a sad face: "I never imagined that my father would be so arrogant, and after so many days, he would still remember that he lowered all the titles given to you by one level. "
Man Bao humbly asked, "What does it mean to be suppressed by a level?"
Chang Yu said: "After Uncle Ashina came back, my father praised you again and again, and revealed more than once that you can be named Marquis for such achievements, but Bai Shan and you are still young, so there is no rush to be named Marquis. Let’s leave it to the future after making meritorious service.”
Seeing that Man Bao opened his mouth wide, Chang Yu spread his hands and said, "What's the matter, do you regret it? Originally, my father wanted to make Bai Shan an uncle, but I heard that even the title was drawn up, called Ping Xibo."
Bai Shan's heart ached so much that he covered his chest, and Man Bao also had a little heartache, but it was Bai Shan who was demoted. Although she was heartbroken, it was still limited.
Mingda saw it, couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you so lucky, you also have the title of village lord."
Man Bao's eyes widened, "Then why do I just push it to the end? I don't mind being the owner of the pavilion."
Chang Yu burst out laughing, and said cheerfully, "Just now I asked Father in the back hall, and Father said, because you are the chief official, you will be punished more severely than others."
Man Bao's heart ached beyond measure right now, no wonder Xuexiong Tang refused to say, it turned out to be such a sad thing, the expressions of all the officials were not envious or jealous, but gloating!
Man Bao looked at his friends, and felt that it would be better to share the pain than to suffer alone, so he asked, "What about them?"
Changyu laughed and said, "As far as I know, except for Yin He, you are all downgraded by one level."
So except for Yin He, everyone else also covered their chests.
Chang Yu and Ming Da looked overjoyed, and after a while, after they recovered, they said, "Let's go, let's go to your house to play."
Liu Huan hesitated, "Should I go back to receive the order?"
Chang Yu pointed to the back and said, "No, just go with them."
When everyone turned around, they saw a servant leading a few servants and guards running up in small steps. Each of them held several boxes. When they saw the two princesses, they bent down to salute. He looked at Zhou Man with some headaches and said: "Master Zhou, look at this. According to the old practice, these imperial decrees are to be sent to the family."
Seeing them holding so many boxes, Man Bao couldn't help asking: "Is it all your decree?"
"Isn't it? The palace was very busy with the opening of the seal today. There were only two groups of people who proclaimed the decree, and one group went to the army and Honglu Temple. The rest of the decree was proclaimed by the slaves."
Man Bao couldn't help being curious, "What did Nie join the army seal?"
The servant smiled and said, "This slave doesn't know. The edict has not been opened yet, so who knows what's inside?"
Man Bao was the same when he heard it, even if they knew it, they dared not say they knew it.
So he looked at Changyu.
Changyu really knew it, and said: "I heard that he has been promoted two ranks in a row, and his accumulated military achievements are not enough to be conferred a title, but he has received a lot of rewards."
In addition to him, there are several of his subordinates, and those who should be promoted to 100 households have basically been rewarded.
Man Bao pondered for a while, and said to the servant: "Let's go, let's go to Yin's Mansion first, it's near there, then go to Liu's Mansion, and then turn around to go to my house."
Waiter: ...
After so many years in the palace, it was the first time that someone who received the decree escorted the decree home together, and after receiving one decree, they changed places to pick up another.
but…
The servant glanced at the two princesses, then at the young men who were wanton and lively, smiled slightly, and agreed, first bowed to invite the princesses to get on the carriage, and then he went to take the carriage that had been prepared in the palace. Boxes and boxes, all rewards from the emperor, have been loaded and prepared in advance.
