Yin Jun was shaking his head while reading, seemingly intoxicated.
But the audience looked shocked, stunned from ear to ear, and even the thoughts in their minds were fragmented.
Then, there was a long period of silence...
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, the emperor's dry cough broke the silence.
Only then did the ministers wake up from a dream, and their stagnant brains started to work again: Damn it! Is the Dafeng Dynasty expanding its territory?
And it is the result of Qi Yu.
Common people often say that one whiteness can cover up three ugliness. In the same way, one merit can offset three faults.
In other words, although Qi Yu's political performance is grade C, his achievements are quite outstanding and can completely offset his lack of political performance.
Seeing the reaction of the ministers, the emperor nodded with satisfaction and said: "All the ministers have also heard that Luzon and Dawan came with admiration, not with force from me." We were forced to do so, and this move highly demonstrates the moral example of our dynasty. It can also be seen that what Qi Aiqing did was to convince others with virtue, and there was no unjust rebellion as rumored."
This sentence is the final word.
Who dares to question the emperor's golden words?
The current Qi Yu is a humble gentleman appointed by the emperor. In addition, he is also a person who has made meritorious service to the country.
At this time, Liang Yingzhong's face was earth-colored, his nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face, as if he had eaten a plate of bitter melon and fried coptis.
He originally thought that he would use this temple place to humiliate Qi Yu, but he did not expect that the person who was slapped in the face was actually himself.
Wu Wanrong was also very unhappy. He felt that this kick not only failed to hurt the opponent, but also deflected his own ankle.
The reactions of other courtiers were polarized.
The civil servants are still struggling with whether Qi Yu should adhere to the sage's teaching of "if those who are far away are not convinced, then cultivate virtue and virtue to those who come here".
The military generals raised their arms and shouted loudly. In their eyes, expanding the territory was an unparalleled achievement, and it was the ultimate dream of serving the country with loyalty. As long as they captured an inch of land, they could brag about it for a lifetime. I just didn't expect it, but it was realized by a civil servant.
The emperor looked left and then again, and thought in embarrassment: Why are they all bragging about me, but no one is praising me?
"quiet!"
"Here!"
After calming down, the emperor suddenly glanced at San Dezi, who was dozing next to him, and said with precious words: "Declaration!"
The latter woke up immediately after hearing the sound and said: "Here!"
What this announcement is nothing else is the imperial edict to promote Qi Yu to the rank of second-grade governor. At the same time, the former Qiongzhou Prefecture also officially
Promoted to provincial level administrative divisions.
At this point, the administrative division of the Dafeng Dynasty changed from two prefectures and thirteen provinces to two prefectures and fourteen provinces, which was of great significance.
And Qi Yu has officially become a veritable feudal official.
Some people were happy and some were worried, so Wu Wanrong couldn't sit still.
Originally, Qi Yu was just a small local official of the fourth rank, but he was a dignified third-rank official in the capital. No matter how he compared, he could be beaten by him. Looking back, he actually turned over and climbed onto his head.
Are you angry?
"Your Majesty, although Qi Yu has made great achievements, his official career is still shallow. He sat in the high position of governor at such a young age. I'm afraid the old ministers will be dissatisfied after hearing this!" Wu Wanrong said angrily.
"Not convinced? Why are you not convinced?" The emperor rolled his eyes at him, and then said boldly: "If anyone has the ability to open up territory for me, I will also make him a governor! Don't say that when you can't eat grapes Sour grapes, saying such words disgusts me!"
this……
All right!
You are the boss, you have the final say!
When the emperor saw that everyone was silent, he planned to disperse the court.
At this time, Qi Yu suddenly saw Qi Yu walking forward holding a scepter and saying, "Your Majesty, do you have any plans for me to report?"
"Oh? It's accurate!"
"Wei Chen wants to grant the title of 'Dong An Le' to the former King of Luzon who has surrendered to our dynasty. I hope His Majesty will agree. In addition, I also want to grant the title of 'Viscount' to the chieftains from Dawan who have surrendered to our dynasty..."
Yes, if people come to vote sincerely, the court must show it.
The emperor took the memorial and read it carefully. When he saw the so-called "hereditary and permanent order", he immediately picked up the ink pen and read it on the spot. After putting down his pen, he looked at Qi Yu meaningfully, seemingly saying: Good boy, he knows how to do things!
As for the chieftains in Dawan, they also received corresponding rewards. .
…
After the end of the dynasty, Qi Dalang returned home with a proud step in the spring breeze.
But I never thought that the house would be overcrowded.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that these people were all colleagues who were out of reach in the officialdom. They hardly interacted with each other on weekdays, but today, they arrived with heavy gifts.
Why?
It turned out that the news of Mr. Qi's promotion had already spread like wildfire. After hearing the news, they chose to come to celebrate as soon as possible.
Although he was already familiar with the atmosphere in the officialdom, Liu Quan couldn't help but be surprised.
In the past, most of the people who came and went at home were officials of fourth, fifth rank and below, but today there are a large number of officials. Even, a certain general manager from Yipin
The governor also sent people to send congratulations.
This battle is not that big!
However, after figuring out the whole story, Liu Quan immediately cried with joy.
"Mother, do you know that we are now considered second-grade wives!"
"This...what do you mean?"
ah! ! !
I understand, it’s our Ah Man who has been promoted!
After Mrs. Zhou came to her senses, she jumped up and ran towards the backyard, saying that she wanted to burn ten sticks of incense to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to thank them for their blessing and protection.
Setting off firecrackers and making tea, the whole Qi family got busy.
As the head of the family, Qi Yu naturally had to sit in the hall to entertain the guests, and also pretended to be familiar with each other.
After everyone left, another old figure flashed in from the door.
Huh……
It's Luo Yuan!
Yes, he also came here specially to congratulate her, but compared to the generous gifts from the officials, his gifts seemed too thin.
However, Qi Yu didn't care at all and still treated him as a guest.
Mr. Luo couldn't resist, so he had to sit at the top.
After finishing all the auspicious words of congratulations, Qi Yu took over the conversation and said straight to the point: "Mr. Luo, I wonder how you have considered going to Qiongzhou to coach."
"Haha, since Mr. Qi sincerely invites you, how can I offend you?" Luo Yuan stroked his beard and smiled and replied.
"So, you agreed?" Qi Yu was overjoyed and said with twinkling eyes.
"I remember that in the last meeting, you expressed your hope for promotion in a vague way, but I never thought that it would become a reality so quickly. Now, you have sat on the high position of governor and hold the real power of the government. , what else do I have to worry about?" Luo Yuan laughed and laughed.
Qi Yu hurriedly said: "Now that it has been decided, Mr. Luo should make some arrangements as soon as possible. Once the Zhengdan Festival on the first day of the new year is over, we will go to Qiong together."
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
"..."
After chatting for a while, Luo Yuan suddenly asked: "Master Qi, does he know that the 'Lao Gan Niang' sauce you gave to your colleagues was collected by the eunuchs in the palace afterwards..."
"What? Is there such a thing?" Qi Yu asked curiously.
"It is true! As for the reason, I don't know." Luo Yuan said.
Although this matter is strange, it is not a big deal. Just search for it. I will give more in the future to avoid robbing.
