Chapter 191 Luling Bo (please ask for monthly votes during the fifth update)

Lin Cunli almost rushed in, shouting loudly that officials from the Ministry of Rites were coming.

Lin Cunde heard this and came out of the study quickly, followed by Qiu Shuang. Lin Cunli waited for Lin Cunde to come over and followed Lin Cunde.

Then Lin Cunde came outside, and Lin Cunyi also stood behind Lin Cunde.

Hu Hu, the Minister of Rites, and Guo Sheng, the Marquis of Cheng'an, came to announce the decree.

When Lin Cunde saw them getting off the carriage, he also went over and respectfully raised his hands and said: "I'm the official Lin Cunde, pay my respects to Marquis Cheng An, and pay my respects to Shangshu Hu!"

"No gift! Congratulations!" Guo Sheng couldn't hold back his smile at this moment.

"Congratulations to you for being knighted in your weakest year. This is a unique blessing for me in the Ming Dynasty!" Hu Hui also said to Lin Cunde with a smile.

"Thank you, please!" Lin Cunde bowed his hands to them again, then gave in and made a please gesture to them.

Guo Sheng and Hu Xi each took an imperial edict and walked straight inside. Lin Cunde led the way, passed through the middle gate, and entered the front yard.

"Is the incense case ready?" Guo Sheng asked.

"Get ready immediately!" Lin Cunde immediately answered with his hands raised.

Lin Cunyi hurried forward and waved his hand. Several servants came out carrying the incense case and placed it in the middle of the yard. Several other men carried the sacrificial objects and began to place them. This was all rehearsed and there was no room for error.

Lin Cunde arrived at the incense table, lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

Guo Sheng took the imperial edict, stood in front of the incense table, and shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived. Lin Cunde, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, will receive it!"

"Your Majesty, Lin Cunde, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, accept the order!" Lin Cunde took the lead and knelt down as he spoke, and everyone in Lin Cunde's residence knelt down.

Including Lin Cunyi and his wife, Lin Cunyi and his wife, all knelt down, their hands trembling with excitement.

Guo Sheng unfolded the imperial edict and read: "The Emperor is entrusted by heaven. The edict says, Lin Cunde came from Ji'an Prefecture and is currently the governor of the Chinese Army. During the Battle of Hequ, he was granted the title of Luling Bo, and was given a book of alchemy and an iron certificate. The money was [-] yuan. Two, order the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to send people to Ji'an Prefecture to build the Luling Prefecture. I admire this!"

As soon as Lin Cunde heard that he had been granted the title of Luling Bo, and that there was also an iron certificate for the alchemy book. With the iron certificate for the alchemy book, it would be hereditary. Lin Cunde kowtowed quickly and said, "My lord, Lin Cunde, received the decree to thank you. Long live my emperor!"

Those kneeling behind Lin Cunde all kowtowed.

Guo Sheng closed the imperial edict, walked to Lin Cunde, handed it to Lin Cunde with both hands, and Lin Cunde took it.

"Leave it to your second brother and the imperial edict!" Guo Sheng said with a smile.

Lin Cunyi knelt forward from behind, took the imperial edict from Lin Cunde's hand, and then stepped back on his knees, his hands trembling, and tears of excitement burst into his eyes. This edict represented all of them, and no one would dare to bully them easily from now on.

"Luling Bolin Cunde accepts the edict!" Hu Hui also arrived in front of the incense table at this moment, unfolding the imperial edict and shouted.

"Your Majesty, Luling Bolin Cunde has accepted the order!" Lin Cunde kowtowed again, his head choking on the ground and unable to raise his head.

"The Emperor is entrusted to heaven, and the edict says: Lin Xiangfeng will be granted the title of Marquis of Luling, and Wang Lin will be granted the title of Madam Marquis of Luling. Ten thousand taels of silver will be donated from the internal funds, and a temple will be built in Ji'an Prefecture for worship." Hu Ming stood on it and read the imperial edict. . There were many such practices in the Ming Dynasty. After death, the posthumous title was increased by one level. Therefore, Lin Xiangfeng was posthumously granted the title of Luling Marquis and was allowed to build temples locally for worship.

"Your Majesty, Luling Bolin Cunde thanks the Emperor for his kindness. Long live our Emperor!" Lin Cunde kowtowed three times with tears streaming down his face. He posthumously named his parents. This was something Lin Cunde did not expect. It can be seen that Zhu Qiyu has given himself enough honor.

Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli also cried. They remembered Lin Xiangfeng and his wife. They would come to the capital to play when they were young. Lin Xiangfeng and his wife treated them as if they were their own children. Now that Lin Xiangfeng and his wife are posthumously granted the title, we will not let them get excited.

Hu Hui came to Lin Cunde with the imperial edict. Lin Cunde took the imperial edict and Hu Hui said: "Give it to the people behind, there is also the imperial edict!"

At this moment, Lin Cunli also imitated Lin Cunyi and knelt forward from behind. He took the imperial edict from Lin Cunde's hands with both hands and stepped back on his knees.

At this moment, Guo Sheng took over the imperial edict from an official behind him, unfolded it, and said: "Luling Bolin Cunde accepts the edict!"

"My lord, Luling Bolin Cunde has accepted the order!" Lin Cunde kowtowed.

"The emperor is destined to inherit the heaven, and the edict says: Bolin Cunde of Luling is appointed as the admiral of the Fifth Military Camp and the minister of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. He will take office immediately! He will preside over the daily affairs of the Fifth Military Camp and assist the Chinese Military Governor in managing the daily affairs of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion!" Guo Sheng began to recite, and after reciting, he closed the imperial edict.

Lin Cunde kowtowed to thank him, knowing in his heart that this was an imperial edict to seize love. For civil servants, special edicts to seize love were needed, but Lin Cunde was a military commander now, and Ding You, the military commander, would not give you three years, basically more than fifty years. Hell, even when there is a border crisis, he will not be given a day off, but there will be an imperial edict to appease him and allow him to continue serving in the army.

If there is no war, the military general will not stay for three years. It depends on the emperor's wishes, and he will return to serve in the army in two months at most.

Now Lin Cunde has been observing filial piety at home for almost eight months. There is no need for an imperial edict to seize love at all. An imperial edict for appointment is enough. In fact, the appointment does not require an imperial edict. It only requires an appointment letter from the Ministry of War. However, Lin Cunde is a newly promoted earl. There is an imperial decree.

"The ceremony is over!" Hu Hu stood there and shouted.

Lin Cunde led everyone and continued to kowtow to thank His Majesty for his kindness, and then stood up.

The next step is to receive those things. There are a lot of things. After all, there are many rewards.    Including official uniforms, official seals, weapons and armor, rewarded fields, etc., there are many.

Lin Cunde took it with both hands and handed it to his servants to put them away. Qiu Shuang kept watching. He couldn't make mistakes here, and he couldn't let the rewards be lost. Losing any of them would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, especially It was an iron coupon for alchemy. After Qiu Shuang took it, she kept it in her hand.

After receiving the supplies, Lin Cunde took Lin Cunli and Lin Cunyi to the living room. The incense table in the living room had already lit incense candles. Lin Cunde placed all three imperial edicts on special wooden stands for enshrinement.

The iron coupons of alchemy books also need to be placed in front of the incense table for worship.

Qiu Shuang's job today is to keep an eye on the incense table and not allow anyone to touch the imperial edict and the iron certificate of the alchemy book.

Lin Cunde put these away and began to entertain Guo Sheng and Hu Hui. At this moment, the firecrackers outside began to sound.

"Congratulations to Uncle Luling, the fifth military camp will depend on you from now on!" Guo Sheng smiled and sat on the main seat and said to Lin Cunde.

"Yes, please don't worry, Marquis Cheng An!" Lin Cunde stood there and said with his hands raised.

They won't sit here for too long, they still need to go to the next home, Qi Yan's home.

After sitting for almost a quarter of an hour, Hu Xi and the others were about to leave. Lin Cunde also personally escorted them to the gate, while Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli led their servants, who dragged a tray with wedding money wrapped in red paper on it. Each piece of red paper is wrapped with five taels of silver.

Lin Cunde's family is not short of money. For those officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to congratulate them, Lin Cunde would definitely give them money.

Even the yamen will give a one-tael red envelope.

Lin Cunde was at the door of the mansion, watching them leave the road in front of the mansion, and then walked back with his hands behind his back.

As soon as they stepped into the gate of the mansion, all those people inside knelt down and shouted to Lin Cunde: "Greetings to Uncle Luling!"

"Reward! Everyone, at least three taels!" Lin Cunde shouted happily.

"Thank you Lulingbo!" the servants shouted happily.

Grandpa Yang was still wiping tears when he was helped up.

Lin Cunde also saw it, went over to support Grandpa Yang, and said: "Grandpa Yang, don't cry, it's a good thing!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm so happy. When I saw the young master becoming an earl, I couldn't help but want to cry with joy, making the young master laugh!" Grandpa Yang said, wiping his tears.

"Well, you should take care of yourself. Come on, let's go to the living room!" Lin Cunde smiled and supported Grandpa Yang.

The servants in the mansion all know that Grandpa Yang has a transcendent status in the mansion. Lin Cunde has not seen Grandpa Yang for a day and has to ask. Grandpa Yang is sick, so Lin Cunde orders people to call the doctor. The medicinal materials and supplements in the mansion's warehouse are open. use.

Lin Cunde helped Grandpa Yang to the living room and asked him to sit down. Lin Cunde still had things to do and needed to go to the back room to pay homage to his parents.

Lin Cunde took the imperial edict honoring his parents, as well as the official uniforms for his parents, and went to the back room. Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli also carried an official uniform each and followed Lin Cunde to the back room. Lin Cunde put the imperial edict away and lit three incense sticks. , kowtow to offer sacrifices to parents and brothers.

Then Lin Cunyi and the others also put down their official uniforms, lit incense and candles, and offered sacrifices. They said that Xiao Wu was about to succeed, and asked the three of them to bless Xiao Wu in heaven.

After the worship service, Lin Cunde arrived in the living room.

At this moment, the nobles and generals in the capital all sent gifts, and Yu Qian also sent gifts.

Lin Cunde didn't want to hold a banquet at home. After all, he was still in Dingyou before and had just been granted the title of earl. It was inappropriate to hold a banquet, so he asked Lin Cunyi to hire a fine restaurant and invite those who gave gifts and congratulations to the banquet.

In Wang Ying's mansion, many people also gave gifts, and some military generals also came to congratulate him.

Wang Ying is accompanying him at home. Tomorrow, there will be a banquet at Wang Ying's house, and the invitation will be sent to Lin Cunde's house in the afternoon.

Ding You, who was finished with Lin Cunde, could naturally go to the banquet.

However, they need to go to the palace tomorrow morning to thank them.

In the afternoon, Lin Cunde also received the military officers and civil servants at home. They came to congratulate them, so naturally he needed to receive them.

But Wang Quan's family was very unhappy because Wang Ying awarded Zhen Dinghou, but he did not reward Wang Quan's other sons, not even Wang Quan. Wang Quan could have been awarded the title of earl, after all, he was Wang Meilin's relative. Grandfather, however, waited at home for a day until someone came to report that officials from the Ministry of Rites had returned after leaving Qi Yan's home. Wang Quan was furious.

Wang Xi was also very angry. Wang Quan did not award him a reward, which meant that he would not receive any title.

But for Wang Yu and the others, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the title of nobility is not their turn. All they want is to make money. Wang Ying and Lin Cunde are knighted, which means they can't get money from soaps and soap workshops. , also a little unhappy.

"Dad, do you want to go to the Fourth Mansion to congratulate me?" Wang Xuan leaned on the chair and asked with a slight smile on his face.
