"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven," the edict said.
Male from Qingmu County, General Xuanwu, Chen Taimo.
Aiqing can turn the tide when it is falling, and support the building when it is about to collapse. He is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, and has the great merit of protecting the savior, the great merit of bringing order to chaos, the great merit of killing the national traitors, and the great merit of encircling and suppressing the devil.
Today, I specially ennoble Ai Qing as the Duke of Pingyang, with a salary of ten thousand stones. He held the official position of Grand Tutor and General of the Western Expedition, and was in charge of the Yulin Tiger Talisman of the Palace City.
Holding the emperor's magic sword and giving him swords and shoes to go to the palace, he will not rush into the court, and he will not be praised and worshiped.
The rewards include a thousand pieces of blood essence stone, ten thousand acres of fertile farmland, a medicine garden, ten manors, and a mansion for the Duke of the State. "
The palace minister read out the entire imperial edict in an excited and high-spirited tone.
Many officials at the court couldn't help but be shocked. They were not surprised by Chen Mo's position as Duke, nor were they too surprised by the privileges of going to the palace with swords and shoes.
Now that Chen Mo is holding the Emperor's Magic Sword, he should have enjoyed these privileges. What's more, in Daqian, these privileges were not given to other ministers.
The Taoist master of Daoxuan Mountain was given such privileges when he professed his vassalship to Daqian.
Praise and worship are not given in names. When ministers enter the court to pay homage, they do not need to pass on their names, but just state their official positions.
If this name is mentioned in an imperial edict or other official document, a taboo word must be added to show respect.
When entering the court, the ministers no longer need to bow down to salute the emperor, they only need to bow their hands.
The easiest way to understand is to go to the palace with swords and shoes. Chen Moke stepped into the palace hall with a sword in hand and armor.
Chen Mo not only has innate strength, but also received the gift from the late emperor to temporarily hold the emperor's magic sword. It is not too much to have these privileges.
What surprised many officials was Chen Mo's official position. Taifu was a first-grade official, which meant the emperor's teacher and the minister who assisted the country.
Under normal circumstances, if court officials want to obtain such official positions, most of them have to wait for the emperor to grant them posthumous titles after their death.
However, Chen Mo is still alive and sitting in this first-grade official position.
After that, if he makes further contributions, it can almost be said that he has no title.
However, after taking a look at the Emperor's Magic Sword on Chen Mo's waist, I thought about his strength, the achievements he had made, and the trust the Queen Mother and the Emperor had in him.
Many courtiers unanimously chose to keep silent.
"I accept your order!" Chen Mo bowed his hands in salute and accepted the imperial edict with a smile.
"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven," the edict said.
A man from Anye County, Sun Shouren, commander of the imperial army in the southern city.
He loves his father, is loyal to the country, is not afraid of danger, has meritorious service in encircling and suppressing demons, and has meritorious service in killing rebels.
Now he is specially granted the title of Uncle of Anye County, with a salary of two thousand shi. Take the post of General of Zhenxi..."
After another imperial edict was read out, Sun Shouren looked slightly excited and stepped forward to receive the edict.
Being granted the title of county uncle and receiving a second-grade official position was something he had never thought of in his life. He did not even dare to dream of such a beautiful dream.
However, all this is reality, and of course he knows that this is thanks to his adopted son.
Otherwise, although you can get many rewards based on your own merits, they will not be so generous.
When he thought of this, the more he thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed born with a good destiny to accept an adopted son like Chen Mo.
So if you contribute now, you can get three points of harvest.
Lu Chuan's eyes were full of envy. He looked at Sun Shouren, then at Chen Mo, and finally at his adopted sons who were not living up to expectations.
Every time at this time, he would like to lament why there is such a big gap between people.
Comparing people with others is infuriating, so comparing goods with others has to be thrown away!
Why is his life not so good? Let alone accepting an adopted son who is as good as Chen Mo, he is satisfied if he can be as good as Chen Mo.
His adopted sons said nothing and lowered their heads deeply. Of course they knew who Lu Chuan was comparing them to.
The key problem is that this is really incomparable. Even if they are all bundled together and doubled ten times, there is no way to compare with Chen Mo.
This gap is really huge!
Next, another imperial edict was issued, and everyone was rewarded, either promoted or promoted.
Even for low-level officials or soldiers who were not worthy of separate imperial edicts and rewards, the imperial court issued several imperial edicts to reward them collectively, or ordered other officials and generals to promote themselves, and then handed them over to the Ministry of War to draw up.
In short, if King Pingxi and his faction fall, the officials in the court can share some of the cake, and the more efforts they make, the more they will get.
Chen Mo and his faction certainly gained the most.
Although he has no intention of forming a party for personal gain, given his current status, it is inevitable that a faction will form around him.
The rewards for many officials were over, and the court gatherings dispersed one after another, with officials of all sizes retreating one after another.
Chen Mo was left alone by Queen Mother Xu to discuss political affairs. The new emperor ascended the throne. Although she had not had time to be crowned Queen Mother, it was only for two days.
Therefore, during this period, whether she was a palace servant or a court official, she would always be called the Queen Mother.
"This place is a bit empty. My dear, you'd better follow me and have a detailed talk with me in the temporary side hall." Empress Dowager Xu smiled slightly, stood up and said.
Now that Emperor Daqian is young, she is the Queen Mother and can appoint and remove officials according to the Queen Mother's decree.
The Emperor's Magic Sword held by Chen Mo can be imbued with boundless dragon energy. If the Emperor is not around, he can temporarily assume the Emperor's authority.
It can be said that everything today is in the hands of these two.
As for the Emperor, he is only eight years old and is still a mascot with no real power.
The three of them came to a side hall study. Empress Dowager Xu looked at Zhao Renmin and whispered, "General Chen will be the Taifu from now on, and he will be your teacher. In private, you must treat him as a disciple and call him teacher, understand. ?"
The so-called teacher is different from the master.
When a master accepts a disciple, the disciple must perform the great gift of three kowtows and nine bows. Similarly, the master must devote all his efforts to teaching the disciples, passing on his legacy, and even handing over the inheritance he has created to his disciples.
It can be said that the relationship between master and apprentice is sometimes closer and more reliable than that between father and son.
Both the emperor and the prince and princess are nobles of the heaven, and it is almost impossible to accept others as their masters, unless they are elders of the same clan.
Therefore, regardless of whether the prince or the princess, those who teach them are treated as disciples and are called teachers.
Chen Mo is the Taifu, one of the three princes, and he has the responsibility to be the teacher of the emperor. Zhao Renmin calls him teacher in private, which is not an exaggeration.
Zhao Renmin nodded vigorously, turned to look at Chen Mo and said, "Disciple pays homage to the teacher."
After saying that, he bowed seriously and saluted. Chen Mo stretched out his hand to help him up, but he didn't want to and had to bow to the end.
"The emperor has so many things to decide when he ascends the throne. The people are young and I am a woman. Many things can only be entrusted to you, general!"
Queen Mother Xu sat down on the main seat and spoke in a sincere tone.
"I should take care of the country's worries." Chen Mo's tone was calm and indifferent.
"This is the temple name and posthumous title chosen by the Ministry of Rites for the late emperor. Teacher, what do you think I should choose for my father?" Zhao Renmin had obviously been ordered by the Queen Mother in advance. At this moment, he took the initiative to pick up a memorial and looked at Chen Mo to ask. road.
The temple name and posthumous title were chosen by the emperor who later ascended the throne.
The Ministry of Rites will usually give three to five choices. As long as the job is not particularly outrageous, the posthumous title will usually be flat or beautiful.
After all, most of the people today are the children and grandchildren of the late emperor. They are ministers and it is not easy to give them too bad posthumous titles.
Chen Mo opened it and took a quick glance. He knew many things that others didn't know well.
The late emperor sacrificed his life to save the world, which can definitely be regarded as a great achievement. It is natural to choose the best temple fair and posthumous title.
"The empress returns to your majesty. In my opinion, the temple title of the late emperor will be Ren, and the posthumous title may be Wu."
Chen Mo spoke slowly, both of them were top temple titles and posthumous titles.
Cultivating righteousness and making great achievements is called benevolence, being kind to people and loving things is called benevolence, and being self-restraining and restoring etiquette is called benevolence.
Being strong and straightforward is called Wu, being powerful and powerful is called Wu, and being able to overcome disasters and chaos is called Wu.
The most direct meaning of these two together is that Zhao Huaili is capable of literary and military skills and has great achievements.
"Isn't this a bit much?" Queen Mother Xu's tone was slightly hesitant.
The reason why she asked Zhao Renmin to speak was because she wanted Chen Mo to choose a beautiful posthumous title for the late emperor.
But these two are a bit too good. Unless they have great achievements, I'm afraid they won't be able to accept them.
"It's no exaggeration. The late emperor suppressed the dragon veins of the foreign races and secured hundreds of years of stability for my Daqian.
Moreover, it is impossible to connect the alien dragon veins with the mirage. It can be said that it saves the lives of everyone in the world. It is not an exaggeration to use this posthumous name and temple name. "Chen Mo spoke in a deep voice with a firm tone.
"This matter is left to the ministers. As long as what the late emperor has done is told to the world one day, no one will have any objections to it."
Chen Mo opened his mouth to give Empress Dowager Xu a reassurance.
"In that case, let the general handle this matter." Empress Dowager Xu smiled, obviously relieved.
Immediately she took out another token from her arms and said, "Ai Qing not only made great contributions to the country, but also saved the lives of our mother and son.
There are many secret treasures in the emperor's secret treasury. My dear, you can go and pick out a few more. "
After she finished speaking, a female officer came over and took the token from her hand.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Chen Mo bowed his hands.
Queen Xu smiled sweetly and seemed very happy. She now trusted Chen Mo more than her own innate warrior.
The innate warriors in the clan must always consider the interests of the family first, and Chen Mo is truly loyal to the court.
What's more, the innate warrior in her family is also seriously injured at this moment, and the injury may not be fully recovered for a year and a half.
Therefore, for a long period of time, she could only rely on Chen Mo.
Following the female official throughout the palace city, Chen Mo soon came to the underground secret vault that he had visited before.
He remembered clearly that there were many good treasures here, one of which he had taken a fancy to last time but had not yet taken away.
It was a large halberd, called the Eight Desolate Halberds. Without activating the formation, its total weight was eight thousand eight hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, the formations engraved on it can reduce its weight to 1,800 kilograms, which is suitable for me.
And if you can swing this great halberd without stimulating the power of the formation, then the formation on this Eight Desolations Halberd can absorb the energy of the Eight Desolations and provide blessings to the warrior.
This is an extremely precious weapon, much more powerful than the Giant Spirit Hammer.
It's just that Chen Mo hasn't practiced the halberd technique before, so he didn't take him away first.
Now that he has achieved some success in practicing the Liuhe Halberd Technique, it is natural that it is time to take away this weapon.
Stepping into the emperor's secret treasury, Chen Mo also saw an acquaintance. The old eunuch who had followed the late emperor before was now taking stock of the accounts in the secret treasury with several palace servants.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, they will of course make an inventory of the things in the treasury and compile it into accounts and submit them.
"General Chen is here. Don't forget to let me know what you want to take away later."
He was obviously very busy now. When he saw Chen Mo, he just bowed and saluted, said a hasty hello and continued to check the accounts.
Chen Mo strode towards the innermost layer of the secret vault. He remembered clearly that there were many good things in it, but he couldn't take them out last time.
Although he is not a greedy person, since he has the opportunity to enter this place again, of course he should take the opportunity to take away a few things that he likes.
At the same time, you can also see if there are any other good things in this secret vault.
