Wei Zhi and Yin Li: ... This jump is too high, directly from the sixth rank to the second rank
Speaking of the position of Prince Shao Fu, many people in the court have it.
Many people in the court have this false title, such as Wei Zhi and Yin Li, besides them, there are Li Shangshu and others.
In the early years, this false title was still very valuable. After all, it was from the second rank. Even if there was no real power and no high material rewards, it was still nice and noble.
But later the prince was absurd, and the emperor was keen to hire various teachers for the prince.
In the court, all the ministers he thought were good were invited to teach the prince. The well-known Confucianism among the people, the virtuous talents from the aristocratic family, whatever he thought was good, he invited the prince to be his teacher.
Since he was a teacher, he naturally had to be given a position, because the prince became more and more absurd, and the conflicts with the courtiers and the emperor became more and more serious, and many people looked down on the prince.
In order to be able to invite these people, the emperor gave the false title of Prince Shaofu as long as he could invite one, so that there were too many princes and Shaofu in the court, and then became very worthless.
In fact, it was not worth much in the end, like Wei Zhi, who still occasionally goes to the Chongwen Museum to teach the prince a lesson on being a king, but he doesn't have a salary, let alone those who have long since given up as teachers for the prince people.
False titles have completely become false titles.
But no matter how empty it is, it is also a title, which is different from serving as a servant.
Especially now that the crown prince has turned his back on evil and returned to righteousness, the position of the crown prince has been firmly established. As long as there is no accident in the middle, he will definitely be the next emperor.
Then Prince Shaofu is the teacher of the next generation of emperor after Prince Taifu.
So now Prince Shaofu is a bit valuable again, and it is from the second grade.
After thinking about it, Wei Zhilue reminded: "Your Majesty, Zhuang Xun only has a sixth rank. If you give him a false title, his actual position..."
"That's why I decided to promote him as a Bachelor of Chongwenguan."
Very good, the real job has also grown, but this is a lot, from the fourth rank, the jump is not very outrageous.
Wei Zhi cupped his hands and stopped objecting.
He didn't object, but the emperor became worried again, "But now I have sealed everything that should be sealed, how will he add it when the crown prince ascends the throne?"
Wei Zhi: "Then you keep it for the crown prince?"
The emperor shook his head, "No, what if the crown prince dislikes his preaching and doesn't want to be granted the title? And I will add the title and instruct him to teach the crown prince, and he will change his name justifiably."
Wei Zhi made him so entangled, so he asked, "How does Your Majesty plan to reward Zhou Man and the Zhou family this time?"
He said: "One rice seed, and another wheat seed, both seeds are of great significance. The reward cannot be low, especially Zhou Man, who is now compiled from the fourth rank, the title of county lord, and then... Your Majesty also Will this merit be reserved for the prince to reward in the future?"
The emperor snorted bluntly and said, "The new wheat seeds and new rice seeds are all produced during my term of office, why should they be reserved for the prince to reward?"
He felt that he was in good health and could live for many more years, so how could he make the hero wait so long
Moreover, the emperor was not willing to give up this great achievement to the crown prince, so the emperor said: "I know it well, let's summon Zhou Man and Zhou Li to Beijing again."
Wei Zhi responded, saying that he would draft a decree when he returned.
Zhou Dalang invited people from the village to help cook a meal, and hurried to the field to greet the emperor to go back to eat. It was almost dark at this time, and he was very embarrassed, "Our brothers rarely cook, but it is a pity that my sixth brother is not here." Otherwise, His Majesty will be able to eat earlier."
The emperor sat down at the table with a smile, let Zhou Dalang and Wu Wulang also sit down, and said: "It's okay, I'm late for dinner in the palace."
He glanced at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "It's quite rich."
Zhou Dalang said with a silly smile: "Now life is better, and the village raises more livestock, so even if you don't go to the market, it's not difficult to eat meat."
Emperor: "Oh, what kind of livestock do you have here?"
"Let's not talk about cows, they can't be eaten. In the village, chickens and ducks are raised, and there are sheep, but there are not many, just a few. This year, several new pigs have been raised. Unfortunately, my family has other people. Raising pigs also smells bad, otherwise I would like to raise some.”
The emperor ate a piece of chicken with chopsticks, and nodded in satisfaction, "The people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy life, so I am happy. Come, come, today is a good day, even if it is only for the new rice, it is worth drinking with us."
Cups are impossible, Zhou Man and the others don't like to drink, so there is no wine hidden in the other courtyard. Zhou Dalang finally went to Lizheng's house and brought back a cylinder of rice wine, which was used by his family to get married after the autumn harvest.
As for rice wine, it is natural to drink it from a bowl, so all bowls were served in front of them. When the emperor raised the bowl, everyone followed suit and drank happily.
Seeing that the emperor's wine bowl was empty, Zhou Wulang immediately refilled it...
In the end, Zhou Dalang and Wu Wulang were escorted back to the room by the guards. Although the emperor blushed a little, he was in high spirits and showed no sign of guilt. Let's talk, how about drinking together?"
Wei Zhi also drank a lot, mainly because he was really happy, but he still knew how to measure, so he shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's not good to be drunk. We have to rush back to the capital tomorrow morning. Let's rest early tonight."
After finishing speaking, he grabbed his sleeves, turned around and left in a daze.
The emperor looked at Yin Li.
Yin Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will send you back to your room."
The emperor nodded, "Alright, it happens that our monarchs and ministers also talk about it."
So the emperor dragged Yin Li away, went back to the house, drank two more bowls of wine in a daze, and let Yin Li go after talking for nearly an hour.
Mr. Zhuang, who has been lowering his sense of existence, let out a deep breath, leaned on the door frame and went back to his house. He has to go back to the capital tomorrow. The carriage will be bumpy when it gets up. Alas, I knew that three years ago When a child learns to ride, he should learn to ride again, and now he won't have to ride in a carriage.
Mr. Zhuang regretted it in his heart, and decided to practice riding when he went back.
After a peaceful night's sleep, Mr. Zhuang was shaken awake before dawn the next day. Wu Wulang said anxiously, "Sir, the guards just asked me for a doctor. It seems that the emperor is sick."
Mr. Zhuang, who was still in a daze, suddenly woke up, lifted the quilt and got up, and hurried to the courtyard where the emperor lived.
Yin Li had already gotten up and was sitting in the yard, seeing Mr. Zhuang approaching anxiously, he smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhuang said don't worry, Mr. Wei just had a relapse of his old illness, he had already taken the medicine, and he just fell asleep at this moment. , just wait for the doctor to come and have a look.”
Mr. Zhuang: "Master Wei is sick?"
Yin Li nodded slightly
