After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 746 His Majesty Praises the Xue Family【2】

"The military officer sent by His Majesty to issue the decree said that we should celebrate for the Xue family, saying that the Qin and Xue families had made great military achievements, and that no amount of congratulations would be excessive!"

"They also want us to learn from the Qin and Xue families, saying that if we make contributions, we can also receive rewards from His Majesty like the Xue family!"

"Oh my god, here comes my chance. I want to catch the spy, I want to make a contribution, and I also want to change my family's family!"

For a time, no matter they were the sons of officials, wealthy businessmen, or ordinary people, everyone was excited and clamoring to learn martial arts and fight the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

It was too lively, and people from various government offices were afraid something might happen, so they hurriedly reported the situation to the senior officials in their own government offices.

"Sir Yan, should we send someone to announce that it is not so easy to be rewarded for meritorious service? Things are really going too far now. If we don't calm down, something bad might happen." The head of the provincial government came over and asked, very worried about the bustling atmosphere in the city.

Lord Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he was dissatisfied with the stupidity of the squad leader. He only said, "No need. If the commotion gets too much, General Liang, the ancient capital commander, and Prefect Fei will take action to maintain order."

It is not yet the turn of the provincial government to intervene.

And why did the Provincial Administration Commissioner intervene? The reason why this matter became so serious was clearly intentional on the part of the imperial court.

This strategy is not new, it is a strategy of deifying people that almost every dynasty has.

Because of the possibility of an attack from Dongmo, many wealthy families in Northeast Province secretly relocated. At times like this when people's hearts were unstable, the court had to bring out a "god" to stabilize people's hearts and to gather strength.

And currently it seems that the 'God' chosen by His Majesty is Xue Zhui... at least the one who has been brought to the front is Xue Zhui.

As for whether there are other "gods", we will have to keep watching.

As a governor of a state, he came to congratulate a merchant, and it was precisely because Your Majesty wanted to support Xue Zhui that he came to save face for the Xue family.

When General Liang learned that the capital city was too lively, he sent out four teams of soldiers to maintain order to prevent any accidents from turning the happy event into a disaster.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The sound of drums was getting closer and closer. Quarter of an hour later, the team escorting the imperial edict finally arrived at the gate of the Xue family.

The Xue and Meng families had already been kneeling in front of the gate. When they saw the gilded chariot with a canopy three meters above the ground that was escorting the imperial edict, and the imperial guards wearing armor and covering their faces, they shuddered all over and felt the imperial majesty coming towards them.

"Wei people Xue Zhui and his family come to greet your majesty's imperial edict. May your majesty and the country be safe!" Xue Dongjia followed the instructions of the clerk in the etiquette room of the government office and performed the ceremony to welcome the imperial edict.

This ceremony is a bit complicated, with strict requirements on how to make hand seals, how high to raise hands, how to bow, and how many times to bow.

Therefore, by the time the Xue family finished the ceremony, almost half a quarter of an hour had passed... If they hadn't learned it specifically, they would have had no idea how to perform the ceremony.

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict was also on the carriage. After performing a whole set of complicated etiquette facing the golden stand where the imperial edict was placed, he took the imperial edict with both hands, held it high above his head, lowered his head and slowly got off the carriage.

The Royal Guards stood by his side to protect the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty's imperial edict has arrived. Everyone who sees it kneels to welcome it!" The eunuch shouted, and everyone present, including the Marquis of Wenchang and General Liang, knelt down in unison: "Your humble servant respectfully welcomes Your Majesty's imperial edict!"

After kneeling, there was another set of worship. In short, it took at least two quarters of an hour before the eunuch read out the decree: "The Emperor of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven decrees that upon hearing that the descendants of the Xue family of Dongzhou Prefecture in the Northeast Province of our country are seeking..."

A lot of words praising Xue Dongjia for his unparalleled wisdom and courage, and saying that he is a role model for the country.

Finally, Xue Dongjia was specially appointed as a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and was allowed to stay in the local area to increase revenue for the court. In times of war and disaster, he could protect local merchants and unite with the people to protect the local area and serve the court.

You can also freely enter and exit the local government offices and check their accounts. If the local government office blocks you, it will be regarded as disobeying my order!

As soon as the imperial edict came out, except for General Liang, everyone else looked unhappy, especially Gu Chengyong and Lord Yan, as well as the noble families stationed in the local area. Emperor Wuxing's order for Xue Zhui to control the local merchants was simply a death sentence for the noble families!

For many years, local merchants have always followed the lead of wealthy and powerful families. Suddenly, an official appointed by the court appears, and this official is not only from a merchant family, but also comes to manage merchants!

There are so many merchants in Northeast Province, and the daily incoming and outgoing accounts are huge. This is such a huge fortune. In order to curry favor with Xue Zhui, these merchants will definitely send a lot of money to Xue's mansion.

And this money should have originally belonged to their aristocratic family!
The masters of the aristocratic families were almost mad with anger, and sneered... With such a huge benefit, Xue Zhui might not be able to accept it even if he used his body as a mat!

Thinking of this, they began to doubt again... Is His Majesty trying to praise Xue Zhui? Or is he trying to kill Xue Zhui?
Xue Dongjia happily accepted the order: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

Zeng Tongzhi saw this and thought to himself: "Still laughing? I'm afraid you won't live long!"

However, before Xue Zhui was dismembered by everyone, everyone had to give him, or rather, give face to His Majesty.

Therefore, after Xue Dongjia received the imperial edict and the eunuch finished his congratulatory words, the officials and nobles all congratulated him.

"Master Xue, congratulations. There are not many merchants in our Great Wei who are awarded official titles for military merit. Master Xue has been included in the annals of the Northeast Province, and he has truly left his name in the history."

It cannot be included in the history books yet, but it will definitely be recorded in the local state and prefectural annals.

And His Majesty seemed determined to support the Xue family, and even brought Madam Xue's imperial edict and title.

Madam Xue was conferred the title of Fifth Rank Concubine, and could barely be called "Madam" from now on.

Not only that, a nanny from the palace was also sent to the Xue family.

"This is Nanny Yan. You will be the Xue family's servant from now on." When the eunuch said this, everyone was startled.

Last name: Yan!

Could it be the old person left behind by Queen Yan?
Regardless of whether she is an old person left by Queen Yan, the fact that His Majesty can give a nanny named Yan to Madam Xue is telling the wives in the officialdom of Northeast Province to be sensible and not to deliberately provoke Madam Xue.

Madam Xue was stunned for a moment, and quickly thanked him: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Nanny Yan is just fifty years old, her hair is combed meticulously, but she looks thin and haggard... No need to guess, it's because she was in a hurry.

Even a strong man couldn't stand traveling in winter, let alone an old woman like her.

After Madam Xue expressed her gratitude, Nanny Yan immediately went to pay her respects to her. She then stayed by Madam Xue's side, helping her entertain the wives of officials.

The eunuch who announced the decree glanced at the crowd, and after seeing Huang Yanglong, he withdrew his gaze.

Huang Yanglong was a little unhappy... Your father's merits were the same, why didn't he get an official title? Is he really worse than Xue Zhui? !

Bah, even if he is really worse than Xue Zhui now, there is no need to worry. He is younger than Xue Zhui. One day, his achievements will surpass Xue Zhui!
In fact, this time, Emperor Wuxing conferred titles on three fifth-rank officials, one of whom was Huang Yanglong.

But Huang Yanglong's temper is too impulsive, so he needs to be trained. After Duke Yan has met him and thinks he is capable, he will let him take the imperial edict and return to Lingnan Province in glory.

After all, Emperor Wuxing also needs someone to unite the people in Lingnan Province.

This person is tentatively named Huang Yanglong.
