Imperial City, Zhongshu Province.腜
Looking at the stupid Cui Xin, Yang Gongren resisted the strong urge to laugh. After thinking about something like this for a long time, he couldn't find any precedent.
He personally wrote the edict for himself to be promoted to the nobility... Indeed, no matter the Qin and Han dynasties, the edicts were written by Zhongshushe during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This position has great powers and responsibilities, but his status is not high. Generally speaking, it is difficult to be ennobled, at least while he is in office. During the period of Zhongshu Sheren.
The status of Zhongshu Sheren soared, and he even became the prime minister and assistant minister. This was still in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren, Zhongshu Shilang Yuwenshi and Cui Xin looked at Cui Xin with a smile on his face, and the latter also urged: "Hurry up and write down, Brother Gongren will also use the seal to submit it later."
After Cui finished writing the letter, Yang Gongren said slowly: "There is another one, which is to confer the title of Mrs. Zhu, the mother of the King of Handan, as the wife of Zheng Guo."
Cui Xin finally couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "A great victory?"
"Destroy the Turks and behead 30,000 people." Yuwen Shiji said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally said that he will regain the three states and become the king."
"The heir?"
Cui Xin didn't have a clear idea of beheading thirty thousand people, but he was a little startled after hearing the word "successor", and his eyes collided with Yuwenshiji, who was trying his best not to laugh.
Canonizing the heir is tantamount to saying that Li Shan's father will be given the posthumous title of prince.
Yang Gongren took the two edicts to be sealed and sent to the palace. Yu Wenshiji and Cui Xin were sitting in the corner chatting. The two had no personal relationship in the previous Sui Dynasty, but they had some contacts in the past year or so because of Li Shancai.
"It shouldn't delay next year's wedding." Yu Wenshiji said in a low voice, "But if the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, Mr. Cui will reprimand him privately."
"What?"
"Your Majesty wants to use Jiang Guogong's army and send his ministers to go with him." Yu Wenshiji explained: "Huairen carries the banner of the Chinese army and rushes into the battle in person. It can be one thing, two things, but not three. Not everyone has the luck of the King of Qin."腜
"How dare he!" Cui Xin patted the table gently with an angry look on his face, "Does he have the martial arts skills of His Highness King Qin?!"
I swore before the expedition that the possibility of victory in this battle was low, but the possibility of defeat was even smaller. I had to play it steady and there was no need to take risks... In the end, I still had to use this trick. I was really not afraid that my daughter would become an outcast!
By the time Cui Xin left the imperial city with the edict, reports of the great victory at Jingzhou had spread throughout Chang'an. This was the closest war the Turkic forces had come to Chang'an since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It was also the most glorious victory against the Turks since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Beheading tens of thousands of people, this kind of achievement was also well-known in the Sui Dynasty where there were many famous generals. Several young people who were close friends with Li Shan, such as Li Zhaode, Yang Siyi, Wen Zhen, and Wen Bang, all gathered in Cui Mansion and congratulated Zhu in unison. .
"Mr. Lang has returned home." Mrs. Zhang came forward with a smile, and a maid came forward to undress Cui Xin.
Cui Xin waved his hand. He had business to go back to the palace today, so he couldn't change clothes immediately. He first took out an edict from his sleeve and handed it over.
Mrs. Zhang opened her eyes in confusion, her face beaming with joy, "Lang Jun has been promoted to Duke of Qinghe County!"
Five surnames and seven families have been passed down for thousands of years. In fact, most of the children do not attach great importance to the title. However, being knighted with a county title is proof that the lintel of the family will not fall. This is the case for all the second-tier aristocratic families.
For example, before Pei Shiju, the Sui Dynasty Duke was granted the title of Duke of Wenxi County. For example, Liu Shirang was granted the title of Duke of Hongnong County and was hostile to Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao.
At the same time, this is also the key to prove one's status in the family. To be ennobled with a county title, one must be the leader of the clan, such as Zheng Shanguo, the Duke of Xingyang County of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Lu Chisong, the Duke of Fanyang County of the Fanyang Lu family.
Cui Xin was granted the title of Marquis of Qinghe County for recruiting Yuan Junzhang, and now he has been granted the title of Duke of Qinghe County... In fact, the aristocratic families of this era did not have the title of patriarch, but if they did, Cui Xin would undoubtedly be the descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe County. The clan leader.
The inexplicable offer of kindness by Jinjue, but most people knew in their hearts that it was 100% because of the great victory in Jingzhou. However, Li Yuan's offer of kindness was difficult to refuse whether it was the Cui family of Qinghe or Cui Xin himself.
There are many aristocratic families in Qinghe County. In addition to the Cui family, there are also the Zhang family, the Sun family, and the Fang family. They are all large families that have been passed down for thousands of years. The importance of Cui Xin, the Duke of Qinghe County, needs no introduction.
Yang Si
Seeing that Cui Xin's face was not very good-looking, Yi felt a little funny. He stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Uncle Cui Shi..."
Although Li Zhaode was thoughtful, after all, the annual vacation was a little short, and he was a bit loud. He said enviously: "Brother Huairen..."
"Ahem!" Wen Yanbo's eldest son Wen Zhen coughed twice and interrupted, trying to save some face.
Cui Xin's face was even darker. The last time he was granted the title of County Marquis, he was still reading the edict at the camp gate anyway, but this time... Your Majesty is openly supporting that guy.
But for such a reward, I really have to accept it... You must know that the previous Qinghe County Prince was given to the Wen family of Taiyuan, Wen Bang's father Wen Dayou. If he doesn't accept it, he might lose the Qinghe County Princeship. .
But it would be too ugly to say that he was promoted to a noble title because of his future son-in-law without even making any achievements.
However, Zhang didn't care. In her opinion, they were a family anyway. If her son-in-law won a great victory and her husband would be promoted to a noble title, his status in the clan would definitely be as stable as Mount Tai. She also took advantage of the fact that she would slap those few ungrateful Cui clan members.
Cui Xin took out the second edict from his sleeve with an expressionless face and said seriously: "Mrs. Zhu of Handan County has received the title."
Mrs. Zhu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to salute.
Cui Xin unfolded the edict and recited: "Li Shan, Prince of Handan County, is as wise as Sun Wu, brave enough to defend Huo, his achievements are majestic, simple and dignified, his achievements are not arrogant... His mother, the Zhu family, moved to three places to educate, and she is a virtuous person. If you possess both ability and political integrity, you will be granted the title of Mrs. Zheng Guo.”
Several juniors stepped forward to congratulate them repeatedly. Among the women's titles in the Tang Dynasty, Mrs. Zheng was the top one. Only mothers with first-class civil and military titles could have this qualification... In fact, there is only one such title for Mrs. Zheng in the world, and there is no other. Number two.
In her early years, Zhu participated in gatherings of officials' family members because of her association with the Changsun family, and was often treated coldly... There were fewer fools like Princess Qi in person, but there were also many sarcastic remarks.
At the beginning of last year, Li Shan was canonized as the county king, and things got better after the Zhu family conferred the title of Lady of Handan County. Now... Zhang's eyes are a little red. Even if the harem is included in the whole world, how can she be compared with her own mother-in-law? There are only a few people who can be equal to him, and there is no one who can overwhelm him.
After all, there is neither a queen mother nor a queen in the palace.
Madam Zhang held Madam Zhu's hand affectionately and whispered: "Prosperity due to one person is not a long-lasting way!"
Zhu understood it deeply, "Let's spread the branches and leaves until next year..."
After hearing this, Cui Xin also nodded slightly, thinking that although a person like Li Shan was included in the clan, he was not a royal family after all. He should create a clan with a long history.
