Chapter 2170 The most beautiful
Yingge Lao knew that Emperor Jingyuan had made up his mind. If they didn't agree, they would have to come up with a better strategy than using Lu Bai.
But even if they had good ideas, they would not be able to contribute them to Emperor Jingyuan.
There was no other way. Ying Ge always said: "What your Majesty said is true. Lu Xiucai has made great contributions to the court and deserves a heavy reward. I have no objection."
Shangguan Ge Lao and Fang Shangshu followed suit and said: "My minister, I have no objection."
They can't stop what Emperor Jingyuan wants to do, and Lu Bai's move is really a strange move!
What is the situation in Dachu now?
After the annihilation of the Weiguogong line, the severe drought in the northwest, the capture of the city after a failed attack, the war against the Japanese, and the taxes imposed on the people to support the resistance, one by one, the people's hearts and minds were shaken. Been worn away.
And if Lu Bai, a poor boy from a poor family, was given an official title and asked him to patrol hunting on behalf of the emperor, as soon as the news spreads, the people will definitely praise your majesty and feel that your majesty is a wise king who values the people and cares about the people, and the people's support will be restored. .
To put it bluntly, Lu Bai was a **** to win over the people for Emperor Jingyuan. Official positions and titles were not given to Lu Bai, but to all poor families.
I have to say that Zhong Huan is still as powerful as he was back then!
Hide in the background for many years, Ming Cong suffered from all the glory, but he made such a strange move to turn the tide. No wonder Emperor Jingyuan valued him so much.
Ming Cong clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves into fists, feeling very dissatisfied, but Zhong Huan's hands were indeed very beautiful.
Gu Jinan was shocked when he heard what they said. He already understood... This matter was a trap from beginning to end. The purpose was not to train Lu Bai, but to use Lu Bai to help His Majesty win over the people.
"Mr. Lu County, please accept the order." The chief **** looked at Lu Bai and said with a smile: "A child from a poor family can be granted an official title within one day. This is a great event that has never happened in history. Mr. Lu County this time Its a name that will go down in history.
L Bai was so shocked by the imperial edict that he was granted an official title. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he was filled with ecstasy. But after the ecstasy, he calmed down and actually resisted the edict: "Your Majesty, I forgive the students for not being able to accept the edict."
But once Lu Bai had walked away from the gate of hell, he had already taken life and death lightly. He was not afraid at all. He raised his head, smiled at Emperor Jingyuan and said, "Student Knocked on the Imperial City Gate to avenge himself, just to seek explanation. If he is confused now, If you accept official positions and titles, then the imperial city gate will be knocked in vain."
this?
Emperor Jingyuan choked.
Zhong Huan said: "Your Majesty, please let me talk to the man from Lu County alone."
Emperor Jingyuan frowned and agreed: "Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhong Huan took Lu Bai to a side hall outside Mingwei Hall. After retreating to the left and right, he said: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you the truth. Since you want to know better, I will tell you the truth. .
He told Lu Bai everything, and watched Lu Bai go from shock to forced smile, and said: "Although you are just a chess piece, your chess piece can save the great Chu, help all the people, and can help those who are bullied." Are you willing to redress the grievances of poor people? If you do, you will have the opportunity to help poor people. If you don't, they will never have anyone to help them, and they will be buried in the ground with their grievances."
Lu Bai was silent for a long time, and finally wiped away his tears, looked at Zhong Huan, and said firmly: "Do it, I accept this official position and title!"
Lu Bai read a lot of letters sent back by Qin Sanlang and his wife. They not only wrote about the brutality of the resistance, but also wrote about many things that happened to the people in the northwest after the war. Each of them was a painful thing that made people burst into tears.
After seeing more of this, Lu Bai wanted to ask for help for the people. However, if he relied on taking the imperial examination to become an official, he might not be able to pass the exam in his life and would not be able to help everyone. Now that he had such an opportunity, he could not let it go.
Zhong Huan smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I saw you right, let's go."
After saying that, he got up and took Lu Bai back to Mingwei Hall. Lu Bai knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and said: "I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness!"
After hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan looked better and ordered Ouyang Zhang: "Baron Mansion, the knighting ceremony, hurry up."
After saying this, he thought of Lu Bai's family and frowned, showing a hint of disgust.
The market houses had a large population, and most of the three relatives and six relatives were in ruins. In order to prevent these poor relatives from causing trouble, Emperor Jingyuan added: "Another imperial edict is issued, ordering the family members of Qianshan County men not to use the names of Qianshan County men." He is a tyrant in the countryside and is trying to make money for himself. Anyone who dares to offend will have his whole family killed!"
Yes. Ouyang Zhang accepted the order.
Emperor Jingyuan thought of Qu Xiucai and his companions again: "Announce them to enter the palace."
Yes. The chief **** immediately sent someone to handle it.
The Ministry of Rites was far away from here, and after going back and forth for half an hour, Qu Xiucai and the others came to the hall.
Qu Xiucai and the others were so excited to see the beauty of the sky that they even started talking: "Students, no, common people, please see your majesty... Your majesty, your majesty is safe."
Emperor Jingyuan frowned when he heard this. He originally wanted to meet them to see who could serve the court, but now he was too lazy to look. After saying a few words, he handed over the matter of Zhenxuan to Ouyang Zhang and asked them to withdraw. Got off.
Qu Xiucai and the others had just met the emperor, and they were taken away without even kneeling on the ground to warm up. They were dazed the whole time. There were many things they wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask.
It wasn't until they left the imperial city and got on the carriage that they realized: "What, Lu Bai was given a title? What title, county man, what kind of title is this? Why not make him a marquis?"
You can really dream, you can be granted the title of Marquis casually.
Seeing that his uncle was so excited that he couldn't even speak, Qu Wenliang smiled and said: "Yes, uncle, Brother Lu has been given a title. He is a man from Qianshan County, and he has also been given a baron palace. From now on, Brother Lu will be a knight." Its a living, tangible honorable person!
Qu Xiucai said excitedly: "It's really great that he has become a distinguished noble. Then when I return to Dou's house, I have to touch him. I have never seen such a distinguished noble in my life for decades."
When he said this, everyone in the carriage with him laughed.
After getting off the carriage, Qu Xiucai ran to help Lu Bai: "Qianshan County man, please walk slowly, let me touch him."
After touching it for a while, he sighed: "Your Majesty, I really touched a living thing. My life has not been in vain."
Lu Bai was injured and it hurt a little from being touched. It was obvious that Qu Xiucai was so happy because he didn't want to spoil his fun. He let him touch it and said with a smile, "Uncle Qu is satisfied."
Qu Xiucai laughed and said, "I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied."
He added: "The hardship you have endured is not in vain. You actually got a title and the official position of censor... patrolling hunting on behalf of the emperor. This is an honor only reserved for those who have been officials for decades. I didn't expect that it would fall to you." On my body."
Qu Xiucai looked at Lu Bai and sighed: "Brother Bai, looking at all the young people like you, you are the most glorious. In just one day, you have all the titles."
After finishing speaking, he looked at his nephew and said to him with a stern face: "Brother Liang, don't be jealous. Brother Bai's fame and fortune were earned with his life!"
