A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 194 Order to impeach
"On the big day, why are you crying? Uh, I really want to hammer you."

Yongxingfang, Wu family.

The new plaque for Marquis of Shouyang hasn't been made yet, but the entire Wu family has already regarded themselves as the Marquis' mansion. In the North Courtyard, Wu Liu's family is crying while holding a bid.

"I'm happy."

"I'm glad you're still crying."

"Too happy to bear it,"

"It's just a county lord, I'll make you happy." Lao Wu curled his lips.

"It's just the county lord? I've been with you all my life, and I haven't seen you earn me a wife. You haven't even earned one for me, the township lord. Now that I have the blessing of my son, I have to be the county lord. I'm not happy." ?” Wu Liu usually obeyed what Old Wu said.

Today, he was actually able to refute Lao Wu.

Lao Wu was speechless after being refuted.

Seeing the official resignation of the county magistrate in his wife's hand, Lao Wu was still a little sour in his heart. The youngest son was named a county lord, and the eldest son was named a county man. It's only the first rank of Jin Sanguan.

"Do you know how to read?"

"I recognize the great seal of the Shangshu Province, and the six-character seal of the Ministry of Officials, I also recognize it." Wu Liushi was extremely proud.

The son was granted the title of Marquis, and the imperial court granted the imperial order to his mother. Although he is only the county monarch, the Wuliu family is also extremely proud.

"My son is so amazing, he will definitely be my wife in the future!" Wu Liushi burst into tears and laughter.

"It's not easy to be the wife of the country. You have to be a first-rank civil and military officer, or you can be named the Duke of the country. If the Duke of the country is not the first-ranked but the successor, you have to have a third-rank official." Old Wu reminded the old woman.

"My son will naturally be a first-rank official in the future, and he will be a duke of the state!"

"Then just wait."

"Hmph, even if I don't wait until that day, I can still be gifted after I die!" Wu Liu said.

Lao Wu shook his head and left.

This court grants only the mother and wife's orders, so don't the fathers need it?

Lao Wu is also very envious.

Of course, he also wanted to earn a command to seal his wife, but it was not easy to seal his mother and wife. The basic requirement was to obtain the fifth rank, the fifth rank of official or the fifth rank of official, as long as he was a full-time official.

An honorary officer must have at least the fourth rank, and he must have a title of title before he can confer titles on his mother and wife, and a county lord.

The Junjun must be at least a second-rank honor such as Zhuguo and Shangzhuguo, plus a knighthood, before he can do it.

At the level of Mrs. County, honorary officers are useless, and they must be officials of the third rank or above.

The wife of the country must be a first-class official, or she must be named the Duke of the country, and the successor Duke of the country is not enough.

Lao Wu is now a seventh-rank official. From the seventh-rank rank to the fifth-rank honor, there is still a long way to go before his wife can be named a township monarch. There is no hope in this life.

Mrs. Wang stood aside to serve, and looked enviously at Mrs. Wu Liu holding the confession. The Tang Dynasty paid great attention to the confession, and even the high-ranking officials had their own merits. Suing the body, although these complaints have to be paid to the officials to get it, but who cares about the money.

"Congratulations, Mr. County."

The county lord made Wu Liu very comfortable to hear it.

"Your Majesty, I will go to the Ministry of Officials to pay the money tomorrow, and then report the size of the clothes, so that I can order the clothes for the maid of honor. On New Year's Day and the winter solstice, the Lord of the County will wear the dress and go to the Palace of Women's Courts to pay homage to His Majesty and Queen. ..."

"It's true that I have stayed in the palace before, and I know a lot about these things." It is rare for Wu Liu to praise Wang. "Let Sanlang study hard, and he will be as promising as their elder brother and second brother in the future. I will also give my mother an order to earn you the title of wife."

Front hall.

Fan Xuanfu was still reluctant to go home,
"Why don't I come to propose marriage tomorrow?"

"I'll stay again."

When Lao Wu came over, seeing the two of them getting tired of being together, he coughed twice, feeling a little helpless, so he had to remind the two of them, "Tomorrow, I will invite Duke Qi and Duke Lu to come to propose a marriage, and then I can't let the aunt not be at the house, but come back with you." Ah, it's not like returning home after marriage, "

Fan Xuanfu was originally in Huaiyu's arms, and the conversation was about to drag, but suddenly the father-in-law appeared, blushing with shame, and when he was said this, he couldn't bear to stay any longer, and hurriedly fled.

Lao Wu shook his head and sat down.

"Young man, don't pay attention."

"Aye, you're not in the north courtyard with Auntie, why are you here?"

"You think I'm in the way?" Old Wu stared, very dissatisfied.

"No, why is Aye unhappy?"

"Happy, why not? My son is a Marquis. How can I be unhappy?" Lao Wu pointed in the direction of the gate. Although it is a false title, but it is also a third-rank noble, and our family can also be a dignitary in the family.

According to the regulations, the Wutou Gate had to be reformed, and the status of the family had to be raised. Zhao Yi had to be responsible for these things as soon as possible, and he had to be careful, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise he would be overstepping and violating the rules. "

The benefits of changing from a Viscount to a Marquis are slowly being realized. For example, the Viscount is at the fifth rank and the Earl is at the Fourth rank, but the Marquis is at the third rank. The difference between one rank and the Marquis’s family can be listed as halberds in the family, but the Earl’s family is not eligible.

Wu Huaiyu's current official title just meets the conditions for listing halberds, and he can list ten halberds, which is the least, and the most can list 24 halberds.

But the halberds inside the door, even in Chang'an, are already a symbol of real relatives and dignitaries.

At that time, Wutou Gate will be heightened to show the status of the family.

In the past, the ranking of halberds was very strict. Only when the ranks, honors, duties, and even titles were all above the third rank at the same time could they be listed as halberds. However, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has not been so strict. All of the above are eligible to be listed as halberds, but the number of listed halberds is different.

Generally, officials are required to apply to the Ministry of Rites after meeting the conditions, but there are also officials who have met the conditions directly with halberds. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was because Li Yuan often gave halberds, so the stricter set of halberd standards in the Sui Dynasty was ruined, and it has become today. Those with rank three or above can directly apply for the rank of halberd.

Apply to the Ministry of Rites, then pay a sum of money, and get it at the Weapons Department of Weiwei Temple. Generally, an official can only apply for a set of halberds.

If several members of a family have the third rank, they can also list halberds at the same time. For example, Xue Wanche has seven brothers, five of whom are knighted.

The door halberd can also be applied for every five years, just pay the money, but after the death of the official who enjoys the door halberd, the door halberd will be taken back and cannot be buried with him, nor can it be listed again.

"After this halberd comes back, our family has to build a gallery inside the gate, otherwise it will be easily damaged in the wind, sun and rain," Lao Wu and his son said brokenly.

"Didn't Li Yuan set up a corridor with halberds here?"

"This is just another courtyard of Li Yuan, and it cannot be listed as a halberd."

Suits, official uniforms, and door halberds all require extra money, and they are not cheap. Huaiyu thinks this is a way for the yamen to generate income and provide welfare.

In fact, it’s okay not to file a lawsuit. The Ministry of Officials will also have an official document similar to the letter of appointment, which is actually the same.But, who would save that money? Even if you don’t have any money, you still have to collect the Beijing debt. Firstly, it’s an honor. Second, it was originally generated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If you don’t take it, you won’t receive it Officials, where income is generated, how can there be extra benefits?
Isn't this making people unhappy?
As the yamen in charge of evaluating and selecting officials, if you offend them, do you want to continue your career?

Even these days, when officials are promoted to titles, and those who want to change their courts are actually special offices such as newspapers, generals, and supervisors, they send people to repair them.It may not be that the people from the government really came to repair it, but it must be the person they designated and handed over to a certain craftsman to contract, which must have something to do with it.

This repair is definitely more expensive than repairing it yourself, but if you don't need others to repair it, if you ask someone to repair it yourself, it may not pass the acceptance inspection, and the size may be exceeded.

Although Wu Huaiyu can be regarded as a popular fried chicken nowadays, he is also afraid of being tricked by others.

Lao Wu also reminded his son that this kind of money cannot be saved. It is like an official who comes to announce the decree.

This year is certainly much better than that of Chongzhen, better than the Qing Dynasty, but not much better, after all, it is the same today.

Lao Wu chatted with his son for a while, confessed some things and left.

Wu Huaiyu sat there alone, closing her eyes and replaying the past over and over again in her mind. This is a better way to summarize and reflect.

People should not only look forward, but also look back from time to time. In this way, they can avoid many wrong paths and discover some problems.

a long time.

Huaiyu opened his eyes, picked up a piece of jute paper, and began to rub the ink.

Li Shimin issued a mission to all officials. All officials, regardless of their rank, or which yamen they belong to, need to write an article about the gains and losses of current affairs to the emperor. Recommend at least three talents to the imperial court.

This task is not easy, you can't write randomly, you must show your personal level, if you write randomly, it may affect your career. Of course, if you can write brilliantly, you may be like Ma Zhou. It is possible to give gold and purple in one leap.

It is not easy to recommend talents. Although it is said that you do not avoid relatives, you must be a talented person. If the person you recommend is not good, then you have to be responsible. Also be jointly and severally responsible.

What's wrong with Datang?
What are the shortcomings of Li Shimin's governance after he succeeded to the throne?
I really want to write, Huaiyu has too many things to write, after all, the traveler is very detached, some things that are still unclear, he has already known the result.

But which ones can be written and which ones cannot be written must be carefully considered.

Huaiyu doesn't want to make a blockbuster memorial, he still hopes to show some talent without being so outstanding.

It's best not to offend too many people's interests.

This is like writing a representative proposal, which is not easy to write.

Picking up a pen to write the policy of destroying the Turks, it took several pages, but Huaiyu crumpled it up and threw it away after the last thought.

He paused for a while, then continued to draw the pen, but this time the paper was to ask the provinces to merge with the prefectures and counties, change the same name, divide the world into ten divisions, and send officials to inspect and monitor. This will never offend anyone.

After writing these, Wu Huaiyu wrote the impeachment memorial again, impeaching the old Wei next door.

I tried my best to write more than a thousand words, but in the end Wu Huaiyu read it several times but locked it in the drawer, and it was not time yet.

Had to think of something else.
