Yang Xuan is very happy now, because the Prince Consort also has a superior title and a salary of two thousand dan.
Including the title of Marquis that is about to be obtained, the two add up to 5,500 dan.
Coupled with the pile of false titles on his body, Yang Xuan's annual salary income has reached tens of thousands taels.
This does not include the overtime pay that Zhu Biao asks for from time to time.
"Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan?"
At this moment, Yang Xuan was looking forward to a bright future and did not hear Lao Zhu calling him at all.
When he reacted, he saw Lao Zhu's dark face.
Damn it, it's over... Yang Xuan secretly thought something was wrong.
Why did he desert at this time... At this moment, he wanted to give himself two slaps.
After taking a cautious look at Lao Zhu, Yang Xuan quickly lowered his head.
In fact, you can't blame me, you can only say that I am really holding on... Yang Xuan silently defended himself in his heart.
"Yang Xuan, what we just said to you, please repeat it to us now." Lao Zhu said.
Ah this... Yang Xuan was so confused that he could only turn his head and look at Zhu Biao for help.
Uncle, save me! (⊙﹏⊙)
At this moment, the eyes of the officials standing next to him were full of amusement.
Damn it, you really deserve it, Your Majesty dared to be distracted when he was asking questions. Who else is unlucky if you are not unlucky?
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would really want to look up to the sky and laugh.
Yang Xuan didn't care at all about these looks. These people were just jealous of him.
After receiving Yang Xuan's look asking for help, Zhu Biao felt helpless: This guy really doesn't make him worry at all.
If you are no longer here, who can protect you?
He glared at Yang Xuan covertly, and then stood up: "Father, Yang Xuan has behaved badly in the court and deserves to be punished. However, because he is young and vigorous, it is the first time he has accepted such a heavy reward. For a moment, he was distracted and emotionally moved. Excusable."
"My son, I sincerely ask my father to forgive Yang Xuan for his misconduct in court."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu glared at Zhu Biao with hatred: Just spoil him!
Zhu Biao: I don’t want to, but he calls me uncle! ( ˃᷄˶˶̫˶˂᷅ ) shy
"Since the prince has said so, Yang Xuan, don't do it again!" Lao Zhu said to Yang Xuan.
"Yes, please keep this in mind!" Yang Xuan bowed to Lao Zhu, then bowed to Zhu Biao to express his gratitude.
When the courtiers saw this scene, they felt as if their jealousy had been overturned, and they were sour.
This time Yang Xuan didn't dare to make any small moves in front of Lao Zhu, so he didn't mock the courtiers who were gloating about his misfortune.
An unexpected farce ended like this, and then Wang Bi, Guo Ying and others accepted the awards in turn.
After the court meeting, Yang Xuan was called to the East Palace by Zhu Biao.
As soon as he entered the East Palace, Zhu Biao pointed at Yang Xuan, his face full of hatred.
"You, you, you, what do you want me to say about you?"
"How dare you get distracted during such an important meeting?"
"If my father hadn't been in a good mood today, I would have given you a beating!"
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong!"
Yang Xuan lowered his head, like a wronged little wife.
(๑•́ ₃ •̀)
Zhu Biao was speechless.
He has never seen such a shameless person.
"Do you know who has the title of Marquis Changping?" Zhu Biao took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and asked.
"General Wei Qing of the Western Han Dynasty!" Yang Xuan replied.
"Then do you know why my father named you Marquis of Changping?" Zhu Biao asked again.
Don't you just want me to imitate Wei Qing and be loyal to you, the prince... Yang Xuan muttered in his heart.
But you can't say this directly, otherwise it will change your taste.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty hopes that I will make contributions to the Ming Dynasty like General Wei Qing."
Regardless of whether this answer is correct or not, this sentence is correct.
"Yes, and no." Zhu Biao's face softened a little, and he continued: "Father, I hope you can learn from Wei Qing's behavior and be low-key in everything."
Well, why don't I believe it... Yang Xuan glanced at Zhu Biao and made an expression of 'I see.'
"But Your Highness, I don't seem to be high-profile!" Yang Xuan said in confusion.
He doesn't hold any real power and doesn't make friends with courtiers. Apart from being greedy for money, there seems to be nothing wrong with him, right?
Why do you think he is high-profile?
Zhu Biao was choked by Yang Xuan. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Oh no, this guy got him into a ditch.
On the surface, this guy does appear to be low-key, but the problem cannot be viewed that way.
Yang Xuan is a shameless and bold guy.
When the prince asks you to work overtime, who dares to ask the prince for overtime pay?
When the emperor sends you out to inspect a place, who dares to accept bribes without hesitation?
But this guy dares!
Is this how low-key you are?
"Anyway, keep a low profile from now on and don't cause me any more trouble!" Zhu Biao said angrily.
"I can't always help you in time."
Phew~
Yang Xuan patted his chest, let out a long breath, and said with relief: "Your Highness, you just scared me. I thought you were going to abandon me!"
"Go away, go away, go back to your home, I don't want to see you now." Looking at Yang Xuan's expression, Zhu Biao broke his guard.
"Yes, yes, I'm leaving now!"
"Your Highness, I see that you are very tired these days. I will take you out to relax tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xuan ran away without looking back.
At this moment, Zhu Biao was the only one left in the hall. He stroked his forehead and sighed: "What a sin!"
…
The rewards for Yang Xuan and others were quickly implemented.
The plaque hanging on the gate of the mansion has been replaced by Changping Houfu.
Every time he saw this plaque, Yang Xuan felt silent in his heart.
Changpinghou!
This title is not something that ordinary people can afford, because it means long-term peace.
As for the intentions mentioned by Zhu Biao, I am afraid they only account for a small part.
The reason why he didn't tell Yang Xuan directly was because Zhu Biao planned to let Yang Xuan figure it out on his own.
Only when you realize it yourself can you understand the weight of this title.
…
On this day, Yang Xuan prepared some good wine and food, as well as a roast goose, incense candles, paper money, etc.
He came to Zhongshan alone with these things.
Finally, we stopped in front of a mausoleum.
"Teacher, this disciple is here to see you."
"You know, Bei Yuan is dead."
"The Lord of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Togu Si Timur, was captured by his disciples."
"Your wish is fulfilled by my disciple."
After laying out the tributes and pouring a glass of wine, Yang Xuan burned paper money while telling Xu Da the process of the Battle of Yuerhai.
I don't know how long it took, but the paper money was burned out, the wine was almost drunk, and only the skeleton of the whole roast goose was left.
Yang Xuan leaned against the tombstone, closed his eyes, and whispered softly: "Teacher, Your Majesty has named me Marquis of Changping, but the weight of this title is too heavy."
"I'm afraid I can't afford it!"
"Teacher, can you tell me what I should do?"
"..."
"Teacher, I miss you so much..."
…
happy National Day!
