A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 193 Marquis of Shouyang

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest who lived to be [-] years old. After five emperors, he was also named the Duke of Yue. After his death, he was given to the governor of Yuezhou. prosperity.

Wu Huaiyu is a Taoist priest who came down from Mount Zhongnan, the abbot of Louguan Zong Shengguan Jin Ziguanglu doctor Qi Hui said that Wu Huaiyu, son of Qingyang, was his uncle.

Wei Zheng, who had just been named the son of Julu County by the Jin Dynasty, had also been a Taoist priest in his early years, but he was not a Taoist priest with famous mountains and grand sights, but just a wandering wilderness.

Now, Wei Zheng stood up against Wu Huaiyu's appointment as earl.

All the officials in the hall glanced at the two former monks and Taoists, and they were interested in watching a good show. These two former Taoists have been fighting each other recently, and Wei Zheng has been finding fault with Wu Huaiyu.

It is not uncommon for an Earl of Xufeng San to be in today's palace. Wei Zheng only finds Wu Huaiyu among the princes in the palace. This obviously has some personal grievances.

Wu Huaiyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to think about how to counterattack and clean up this dog slave.

Li Shimin frowned on the throne.

"Wei Zheng, today's ennoblement and promotion is a reward for meritorious service, and rewards are based on merit."

"I think that although Wu Huaiyu has meritorious service, it is not enough to be named an earl."

"I think Wu Huaiyu's merits are enough to make him an earl." Li Shimin's voice raised a bit.

"Where is the work?"

"Where is Wu Huaiyu's merits? Its Longyou Slaying Special Service wiped out more than a thousand Turks, Wushanchuan Xinxingchuan won two battles, Weizhou restored Yanjingzhai, Xianyang followed me at night to attack the enemy and defeated captives, Sanyuan Longqiao followed Yu Chigong Annihilating the enemy is meritorious, refining the palm Lei Jian Shenjifang is meritorious,

He also donated medicine for my treatment, meritorious service for curing my general Qin Qiong, meritorious service for inspecting schools and camps,
Recommending the great talent Ma Zhou Yougong for the country..."

Li Shimin spoke louder and louder, "With Wu Huaiyu's merits, he should have been officially named. I think he is still young, so this time I will only arrange for loose knights. If he is not young, even a county marquis is enough."

Although the emperor had expected that the palace would not be peaceful today, Wei Zheng ignored the overall situation and still stared at Wu Huaiyu in today's scene, which made him very dissatisfied.

Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to kick Yu An over and walk away, but in the end he suppressed his anger.

"Chen Shuda, add Wu Huaiyu's name to the list of real seals, confer the title of Founding Marquis of Shouyang County, and seal [-] households with food seals!"

"Remove Wei Zheng's award as Viscount of Julu County!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng's face was very ugly.

Seeing this, Wu Huaiyu hurried out of the class and went forward, hitching a ride to seal what Uncle San reluctantly said, but actually sealing Kaiguo County Marquis is too much. Originally, many people were dissatisfied with the award today, wouldn't this be the target of public criticism.

"Your Majesty, my minister Wu Huaiyu dare not accept this seal, please take it back."

Wei Zheng also stepped forward with a livid face, "My minister Wei Zheng will not be rewarded for his meritorious service, and obey the order."

All the officials in the palace watched this, and it was really lively.

Qin Qiong, who was dragging his sick body to the court today, stood up and hoped that the emperor would calm down his anger, "Your Majesty, Wu Huaiyu's meritorious deeds are too much, such a reward is not a good thing for the young Wu Huaiyu, and I hope your majesty will take care of her. "

Cheng Yaojin also came out of the class, and he clearly said that he should not be named Kai Guohou, but he didn't say that he shouldn't be named Earl.

"Wu Huaiyu,"

"The minister is here."

"Are you really going to reject the title of Marquis of Jianguo County? As long as you are willing, no one can stop you from being a Marquis."

"Your Majesty, although I have some minor achievements, it is not enough to receive this great title. I am grateful for your majesty's reward, but I cannot accept it."

Li Shimin looked at Wu Huaiyu, then at Wei Zheng. Comparing the attitudes of the two, it became more and more obvious that Wu Huaiyu was sensible and Wei Zheng was ignorant of current affairs.

"Wu Huaiyu conferred the title of Marquis Sanjue of Shouyang County, and rewarded a pair of silver vases,"

"Wei Zheng, keep the baronship of Julu County."

The emperor couldn't stand any more objections, he flicked his sleeves, got up and left, and the court meeting ended early.

······
When Huaiyu walked out of the hall, countless eyes sized him up.

Originally, Wu Huaiyu is not special at all today, just a small vain uncle, not to mention so many dukes, county dukes and county dukes, even the vain dukes, county dukes, county dukes, and county marquises can't be counted.

But what Wei Zheng did made Wu Erlang the focus again, even overshadowing Li Shentong and Yu Chigong who were fighting for success today.
After all, those two were blamed for fighting for merit, and Wu Huaiyu was the only one whose title did not fall but rose instead.

It is not uncommon to be named a marquis, but what is so strange is that he is so favored by the emperor.

There was envy and jealousy in those eyes.

Fan Xing walked towards him.

"Hello Mr. Ying Guo!" Huai Yu hurriedly said hello, he also found out just now that he had met Fan Xing, the father-in-law, before, and said that he was a military officer of the Imperial Army, what was his last name?This guy turned out to be Aunt Fan's father, and it was a little embarrassing to meet in front of the palace now.

Today, Fan Xing is ranked eighth in the list of meritorious officials who have been honored, with [-] households sealed, and Rong Guogong changed to Ying Guogong.

"Earlier, I saw that Erlang was not a creature in the pond, but now he is really soaring into the sky."

Huaiyu smiled flatteringly.

"When will you come to propose marriage?" Fan Xing was straightforward, but he took the initiative to ask, while talking, he stretched out his big hand and patted Wu Huaiyu's shoulder heavily.

Huaiyu was a little embarrassed because Fan Xing was too young.

30-year-old husband.

Where they stood, they were more like brothers of the same generation.

But think about what Fan Xuanfu said before, his father went into battle to kill at the age of 12, gave birth to her at the age of 14, and became the Duke of the county at the age of 20.

"Go right away."

"Who is the big media?"

Qin Qiong came over at this time, "Fan Dayan, I am the big media."

"And my old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin also came over, "Congratulations, Fan Manzi, originally Wu Erlang was my favorite son-in-law, but who would have thought that the old lady of the Ni family is so good, she forcibly snatched it away from my Cheng family. Well, I'm still not reconciled."

Fan Xing and Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin have worked together under Li Shimin for several years, and they are quite familiar with each other, "That can't be helped, who told me that my daughter is amazing."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and patted Huaiyu on the shoulder, "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be a good day, an auspicious day, hurry up and hug a wild goose to propose marriage."

Qin Qiong, who had just been named the Duke of Qi, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be there."

Originally, Huaiyu was seriously ill recently, and Huaiyu planned to ask Cheng Yaojin to be the matchmaker instead, but Qin Qiong insisted on being the matchmaker for him, and Lao Cheng agreed again, so now Huaiyu has two big matchmakers.

Fan Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he just hoped that Wu Huaiyu would come to propose marriage sooner.

He was very optimistic about Wu Erlang, not to mention that when he was still in Binzhou, his daughter kept urging him to return to Beijing letter after letter, impatient to get married.

Now that he's back, it's even worse, or my daughter will kill him with a horse.

"Fan Manzi, my old Cheng envies you." Cheng Yaojin sighed. Today he changed his title to Lu Guogong, the sixth class, which is several classes behind Qin Qiong, and there are six hundred less real seals, but the old Cheng is not. I don't feel sorry to complain, but Wu Huaiyu was snatched by Fan Xing to be his son-in-law, it was really upset and very regrettable.

In front of the palace gate, Huai Yi, Samurai Ke, Samurai Leng, and Wu Junya were waiting for him.They were not in the palace just now, but they were standing on the square, but they also heard the emperor granting Wu Huaiyu first San Bo and then San Marquis.

"What's the matter?" Samurai Ke was puzzled.

"Good thing." Qin Qiong said simply to Lao Wu with a smile.

The patriarch Samurai Leng also congratulated Huaiyu, he is still the Duke of the County, this time he is not included in the list of titles, but the rank has been increased by one level,
But this time, the old fourth scholar Xun actually entered the list of real seals. Ying Guogong was changed to Zhou Guogong, and six hundred households were sealed, which fully shows that the Wu family has successfully gained the trust of the new emperor.

And the Huaiyu brothers also won the title this time, one Shouyang Hou and one Daling male, it doesn't matter if they are fake or not, what is important is that this shows that they have weight in the emperor's mind.

"I said at the beginning that the younger generation of our Wu family is still the most promising one of your two brothers, but now it is as it should be."

Huaiyi's face was flushed with excitement, and he even wanted to scream. Compared with Huaiyu's calmness when facing Shouyanghou, Huaiyi, a man from Daling County, was very excited.

At the door, I saw some colleagues from the imperial guards. An Yuanshou was named Uncle Weiwu, Xu Luoren was promoted to Duke Jiangxia, his elder brother Xu Xu was Duke Zhending, and his brothers were Dukes of two counties.

I also saw Xue Wanche, the seven brothers of this family, five of whom are officials in the court now, one country, two counties and two counties.

On the way out of the palace, I met countless princes and lords.

The prince also met a lot, there were many clan kings. At one time, Li Yuan conferred countless clan kings, and then many more. But there are still many clan kings.

Moreover, the sons of some clan kings are all knighted regardless of their size. For example, Li Shentong, the king of Huai’an who is fighting for merit in the palace today, is the king of the county himself. The county king who was granted the title, and the remaining two young ones, both were also granted the title of county prince.

His younger brother Li Shenfu is also the county king, and Li Shenfu's seven sons are also county kings.

In this big award, only Li Xiaogong received the real seal of the clan, and then Li Yi, Li Zi and Shi Feng who were listed in the clan's bestowed surnames,

Others such as supernatural powers, Taoism, talismans, Youliang, Xiaochang, etc. are not sealed, but only promoted or given money and land.

Li Shimin's sons are still young, but the emperor has revealed some thoughts, dissatisfied with the original enfeoffment system of these clans.

If you don't come to the capital, you don't know how many officials there are.

If a brick fell from the top of the city, it is estimated that several princes would be killed.

Looking at so many clan princes and noble ministers, Huaiyu felt that things must be turned against each other. This big reward, together with the titles passed down from the previous dynasty that Li Yuan admitted before, is really too much.

Even if the title is false, after all, there are many other privileges of the title, I guess Li Shimin will not be able to bear it. Today's big seal will inevitably be greatly reduced in the future.

As a Marquis of Shouyang, I don't know how long I can do it.

The spring breeze was proud of the horseshoe disease, and visited Chang'an flowers one day.

Huaiyu was sitting in Qin Qiong's carriage, with Wu Shike and Cheng Yaojin on board, and the four of them discussed together the matter of going to Fan's house to propose marriage tomorrow, what gifts to prepare, and what etiquette to follow.

Although Fan Xing had already agreed to this marriage, he couldn't lose his courtesy.

The sky is bright and the sky is blue.

It was a beautiful day with the high sun shining in autumn.

Qin Qiong leaned on the carriage and looked at Wu Huaiyu in a daze. He thought of those years, his son Huaiyu and the others.

Looking at Huaiyu now, he always feels in a trance that this is his son Qin Huaiyu.

Back to Yongxingfang, just arrived home, the palace envoy came.

The official imperial edict was issued, as well as the pair of silver vases. At the same time, the emperor also promoted Wu Huaiyu to be the commander of the Prince Zuo Zongwei's commanding army in the lower suburbs.

Zongwei on the left and right led the soldiers of the military mansion, also known as the prince's brigade army.

The Jiaocheng Mansion belongs to the Xiatongjunfu under Zuo Zongwei's mansion, with 800 people, and its commanding army is a fifth-rank official.Wu Huaiyu's original hospital general was a sixth-rank general, and this time he was finally promoted to a fifth-rank position, and he was no longer a probationary officer.

However, he still didn't have to go to the suburban mansion to take up a post. Instead, he took up this position as the head of the north gate.

After receiving the imperial edict, Huaiyu sent a gift of thanks. Although the title and position have changed, the errands have not changed, and it has little impact.

He is now more focused on coming to propose marriage tomorrow, and looking up at Fan Xuanfu who is arranging with Runniang and the others to buy wild geese, red silk, etc., Huaiyu couldn't help laughing, this girl really can't wait to buy it I got married by myself, and I heard Fan Xing go back and tell her that it was already agreed that Huaiyu would propose marriage tomorrow, but she couldn't sit still for a long time, so she ran from Huaiyuanfang to Yongxingfang, and personally gathered things to propose marriage tomorrow .

What a lovely girl.
