Yun Qing was enthroned, and the next step was to discuss meritorious rewards. On the second day of the enthronement ceremony, the decree of the award was issued. And the first imperial decree was sent to the family.
Feng Dajun walked up and down the room, and after walking twice, he called another guard over: "Let's see if anyone has come?" From last night until now, Feng Dajun hasn't closed his eyes.
Chang Shi said amused: "What's your urgency? Can this title still run away?"
Feng Dajun looked at his calm wife and said with a smile, "Isn't I too excited?"
After speaking, Feng Dajun remembered the past, and said: "Last time I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, I still knew that the emperor was going to raise troops!" It has been 16 years after doing the math.
"You were so excited that you couldn't sleep, I almost didn't scare to death at that time." Rebellion, that was a matter of the Jiu Clan, and Chang fainted after knowing this.
The waiting time is the most difficult, so Feng Dajun is also willing to talk about the past with Chang. Feng Dajun said: "We are fighting bloody battles in the front but we can't eat and wear warmth, but the emperor lives with his beloved concubine in a luxurious and corrupt life in the capital. Why do we have to be loyal to such a court?" He persuaded Yun Qingji. At the same time, he asked him to conspire, but Yun Qing not only didn't agree, but also scolded him several times.
Chang Clan also heard Feng Dajun mentioned these things: "It's also fortunate that the emperor didn't listen to you, otherwise our young and old would still have their lives!" If you don't have sufficient preparations, raising troops is a dead end.
This point, Feng Dajun also admitted. The time to raise troops is very important, and the time for the queen's selection is very good.
Thinking of this, Feng Dajun said: "I don't know what kind of title the emperor will give me?" He didn't inquire about this, and the Ministry of Rites kept it secret, so no news was revealed.
In order to worry that someone would think that the reward was low, Yuxi ran up to Yun Qing to make a fuss with her. Yun Qing is too affectionate, and it would be a big trouble if he is moved. To prevent such a thing from happening, Yuxi issued a death order. If anyone dared to disclose the news and deal with it strictly, when the imperial decree was issued, it would be impossible for these people to change it.
Chang Shi said: "With your military merits, there is definitely a marquis."
"What do you need to say?" He hopes to be the duke. Feng Dajun has been guarding the northwest over the years, and he has also made a lot of credit. Only relatively speaking, there is not as much military exploits as Du Zheng, who has conquered the South and the North, has accumulated.
Chang and his husband and wife for more than 20 years, how can he not know what he thinks: "No matter what is good about the emperor and the queen, we are the first thing that comes to mind. This award will definitely not treat us badly."
When Feng Dajun heard this, he said nothing.
Chang shook everyone back, and then said: "I know you often worry that the queen will kill the donkey. But based on my understanding of the queen, she definitely is not such a person."
Feng Dajun was very defensive against Yuxi, and he never concealed this from Chang: "Back then, I proposed to let Yu Cong die, but she refused." No matter how many wrong things Yu Cong did, it was all. His brother.
Chang said: "The crimes committed by Yu Cong were all capital crimes, and he did not repent until he died, otherwise the emperor would not agree to execute him at that time."
"However, most of Yu Cong's crimes were set up by the queen." This is the fundamental reason why Feng Dajun is cautious about Yuxi's defense.
Chang did not quarrel with Feng Dajun, but just asked: "If you were replaced by you, would you do these things?" Without Feng Dajun, she also knew the answer. Yi Feng Dajun's loyalty to Yun Qing is determined not to betray even if he is wronged.
Feng Dajun glanced at the Chang clan and said, "The empress empress is really good, let you speak for her."
Chang said: "I'm not speaking for the queen, and the queen doesn't need me to speak for her. Yu Cong fell into that fate, and he was responsible for it. Lin can't bear children, who of you has not persuaded him to have a concubine, and then give it to the concubine room. Married and left the child? But what did he say? He said that he couldn’t do anything I’m sorry for Lin. The result? As a result, he had a child, and when he arrived in Jiangnan, he regretted wanting his blood. Does he really want his own children or being a woman? Stunned, you know this better than me."
Feng Dajun said nothing.
"When I was dying, I deliberately told Xu Wu that a sly rabbit and a dog would cook a bird and a good bow. These words obviously wanted to provoke you and Cui Mo to guard against the emperor and the queen." After speaking, Chang said: "Yes. Don’t think about it, how can you make them believe you wholeheartedly if you don’t believe in the emperor and the queen? In the end, you are not the one who suffers? Don’t think that your thoughts are well hidden, the queen is such a wise person, which Can you not see the twists and turns in your heart? It's just that if you haven't done anything excessive now, she doesn't think she knows it. In order to prevent such things from happening and keep the family closed, she would take the initiative to bring these things up.
A sharp light flashed in Feng Dajun's eyes, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who said these things to you?"
The husband and wife for so many years, how can they not understand Feng Dajun. Chang's said: "Don't worry, who is the queen, how could it be possible to tell me these things."
Feng Dajun obviously didn't believe it. These things were simply not something Chang Clan could think of, a person huddled in an inner house.
Chang's family didn't feel annoyed, and said, "I told Zhi'ao and Zhixi about Yu Cong. They analyzed what they said just now."
After a pause, the Chang clan said, "I didn't like Yu Cong back then. The Lin clan didn't like you to be guests at home. Couldn't he invite you to the tavern to eat? But in the years in Yucheng, he asked you to go there. Is it a restaurant?" Without waiting for Feng Dajun’s defense, Chang said, "Don’t tell me it’s because of Lin. These are just excuses. If he has this heart, he can treat you to a meal if he doesn’t make a robe. Yes." Although Lin's is not in a variety of ways, but she is heartbroken to Yu Cong. Everything I eat and wear is tightly attached to Yu Cong first, but this kind of effort can finally be forgotten just because of the wind Yu Cong by the pillows of the two women. Feng Dajun, these brothers, how could he really miss it.
Feng Dajun said helplessly: "This has been going on for so many years, why are you still thinking about it!"
"It's not that I am thinking about it, but I am afraid that you will be taken into the ditch by him. You are always worried that the queen empress will kill the donkey, but you don't want to be able to raise a child with a big heart like the princess, empress empress How can he be such a narrow-minded person." After a pause, the Chang clan added: "Furthermore, I really want to deal with a few of you by the means of the empress empress. Do you think you can escape?" Empress empress With careful thought and great means, if you really want to deal with a few of them, you can't escape.
When Feng Dajun heard it, he was lost in thought.
Upon seeing this, Chang continued, "I also had this worry before. It was only after Weiqi’s thing that I realized that we had all misunderstood the Queen Empress. If the Queen really hopes that we are not good, she will only facilitate the matter between Weiqi and Niu. "Although Cui Mo said that Cui Weiqi dared to marry the Niu family and drove him out of the house, but this was only an angry talk. How can the eldest son be driven out of the family, when the matter between Cui Weiqi and Niu is done, the Cui family must be in chaos.
After hearing these words, Feng Dajun smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, I am really worried."
"You are not overly concerned, you are just frightened by Yu Cong's affairs. But you don't want to think that even if the queen digs a hole for him, if he is not unreasonable, he will not enter the hole. Moreover, Yu Cong was not the one who executed Yu Cong. The queen empress is the emperor." Yu Cong will die, completely by himself.
Feng Dajun did not speak.
At this moment, Feng Zhiao opened the curtain and walked in quickly: "Father, there is someone from the Ministry of Rites." Generally important events are issued by the Ministry of Rites.
The incense cases were all set up, and they all changed their clothes, just waiting for someone to come.
The whole family knelt on the ground and listened carefully to Gu Taining, the minister of rites, reading the imperial decree.
Hearing that he was made a British duke, Feng Dajun raised his head in excitement.
Because the treasury is empty, there are not many rewards, only five hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, two imperial palaces, and a few silk satin jewellery.
After reading the imperial decree, Gu Taining, the minister of rites, handed the imperial decree to Feng Dajun with both hands: "Congratulations, Lord Guo." The British father, as the name suggests, said that Feng Dajun was very brave in the battle.
Feng Dajun respectfully accepted the imperial decree, placed it on the incense table, and knocked three more heads.
After Gu Taining gave the imperial decree, he was ready to leave.
Feng Dajun said hurriedly, "Master Gu, take a hard time, stay and have a cup of tea before leaving!"
Gu Taining smiled and said, "There is no time today. I will go to General Du Zhengdu to issue the imperial decree later in the meeting!"
During this period of time, it's not an exaggeration to say that the people in the ritual department are too busy. It is necessary to organize the enthronement ceremony, but also to award the meritorious officials.
When Feng Dajun heard this, a smile appeared on his face. This is equivalent to saying that he is the first person among the ministers of merit: "Master Gu, which ones are going to give the decree this morning?" It is equivalent to asking which ones will be awarded next. It's just this statement, which is more euphemistic.
It doesn't matter if you say it at this time, anyway, you will have to issue the imperial decree after the meeting. Gu Taining smiled and said: "After going to the Du's house, I will also go to the residence of General Xu Zhenxu and Master Shangshu Han of the Criminal Department." He personally issued the decree of these four houses, and the other meritorious families were from the Ministry of Rites. The others go.
When Gu Taining was sent away, Feng Zhi'ao whispered: "Father, did my father-in-law also get the duke?"
"I'll know later." Shiyou** is a duke, otherwise Gu Taining wouldn't say that.
Feng Zhi'ao said, "Father, will this attract other people's dissatisfaction?"
The generals have worked hard for so many years, and the titles they have won are no better than Han Jianming, and they will definitely be dissatisfied. Even if Han Jianming is his father-in-law, he feels that Han Jianming is a bit overwhelmed by the position of the Lord of the Country.
"What about dissatisfaction? The Han family is the queen's mother's family. Through the dynasties, the queen's family can get grace. Back then, Han Jianming threw the title of knight to join him, and this friendship is rare." In these years, Han Jianming also Doing a lot of things for the emperor and queen to solve problems, it is a bit unexpected to get a duke's title, but it is reasonable to think about it.
After a pause, Feng Dajun said, "So it is completely nonsense to say that a girl is losing money, and a girl can prosper the family if she is well trained." Without the sister of the Queen Empress, with the contribution made by Han Jianming, there would be no more than an earl.
Feng Zhiao nodded.
Du Zheng was canonized as Wei Guogong, Xu Zhen was canonized as Cao Guogong, and the title of the Han family was the same as before, as the Korean father.
The Qiu family knelt on the ground and cried immediately when he heard the words that Han Jianming was the father of Korea. Back then, her son abandoned the title and went to Yuxi. Although she didn't stop him, the matter has been stuck in her heart. She was afraid, afraid that her son would not be able to explain to the ancestors and ancestors of the Han family when he went underground. Now that he is well, this heart disease has finally gone.
After the imperial decree was announced, Han Jianming placed the imperial decree on the incense table, and Han Jianye went to help the Qiu family.
Helping Qiu's tears wiped away, Han Jianye said, "Mother, this is a happy event, we should be happy."
The Qiu clan cried as he said, "I'm crying with joy. Your brother has earned the title back, so there is no need to worry that the ancestors of the Han family will blame him in the future."
Even if the eldest brother did not join Yuxi to stay in the capital, their title would not be kept. It's just that, he didn't tell Qiu Shi either.
Han Jianming put out the imperial decree and walked over to support the Qiu family, and said, "Mother, my ancestor will not blame me." His grandmother hoped that he could revitalize the Han family, but he finally did it. Although the process has been a little harder, it has also gotten what I wanted.
Qiu said with satisfaction: "Hurry up and hang up the plaque of the Guogong Mansion."
"Well, I'll let someone make the plaque later. When it's done, I'll let someone hang it." The Korean government occupies a very wide area, and Han Jianming who lived before was a little unreliable. Now that he has the title of duke, living here is also worthy of the name.
After comforting the Qiu family, Han Jianming took Han Jianye back to the front yard. Han Jianye frowned and said, "Big Brother, it's a good thing to have the title of Duke, but I'm afraid it will cause criticism."
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Isn't it said in the imperial decree, the merit is in the society. What about the dissatisfaction of other people? This is the imperial decree of the emperor himself." He originally thought it was a marquis, but he didn't expect it to be a duke. Although it is not hereditary, but the ten generations are already very good.
After a pause, Han Jianming looked at Han Jianye and said, "I got the duke, I'm afraid you might not have the title." Even if there is a title, it should not be high.
Han Jianye thought well, and said, "It's okay, Liaodong and Yunnan have not recovered yet, and there will be opportunities for meritorious service in the future."
Han Jianming said with a hum, "If your title doesn't come down, let the division of the family go first." Dumu is hard to support, and he doesn't want to divide the family in his heart.
Han Jianye nodded: "Okay."
Han Jianming hesitated and said: "The clan elders of the clan want us to return to the clan, but I have refused. If they come to you, ignore them."
"There are many people in the clan, and there are many right and wrong, and there will be a lot of trouble in returning to the clan. However, if there are outstanding children in the clan, we can help." In the end, it is an ancestor, who can help or need to help.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "This is natural."
