In the Linjing Hall, the brothers were still guessing about the identity of the Black Dragon King.
He even set his sights on the Zhen family.
Little did he know that the real Black Dragon King had just come out of the palace not long ago.
As soon as Feng Yibo left the palace, Changsui Daping stepped forward to welcome him into the carriage.
Then he headed straight to the north of the city.
When he came back this time, Feng Yibo didn't have time to go home.
Only when we got off the boat, we sent someone back to inform us.
He came to present the memorial first.
At this time, as soon as they arrived outside Feng's mansion, there were dozens of people waiting outside to welcome the marquis.
The newly built Feng Mansion was huge, and naturally there were more servants than before.
Some of the new buyers even saw Feng Yibo in person for the first time.
"Congratulations, sir!"
Daping helped Feng Yibo get out of the carriage, and everyone in front of him immediately prostrated himself.
Perhaps it was the timidity of being close to home that made Feng Yibo feel a little confused.
He has been away for more than half a year, and he has already become accustomed to a life like the stars and the moon.
Now that I'm back here, this scene is nothing.
After a business trip for more than half a year, naturally I will not come back empty-handed.
Relatives and friends sent rare gifts from overseas, and everyone in the family also benefited from it.
Even before returning, Feng Yibo had already sent people back to take care of things.
At this time, he only needed to say:
"reward!"
The people who greeted him immediately cheered and thanked him profusely:
"Thank you for the gift, uncle!"
"My uncle has a prosperous official career!"
"..."
Naturally, this place will not be as extravagant as the Black Dragon Mansion, and they will still give copper coins.
However, in addition to the reward money, the elders of the Feng family also shared overseas specialties.
For a time, the whole family was filled with joy.
It's a bit more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
Feng Yibo ignored this and entered the middle gate and went straight to the other courtyard.
That's Li Shouzhong's yard.
As soon as he entered the room, he found that everyone had already gathered here.
Obviously I got Xin'er and knew he would come here first.
So they all waited for him at Li Mengshi's side.
Mrs. You, her second sister You, third sister You, Miaoyu, Aunt Meng, etc. all served Li Mengshi.
When they saw Feng Yibo coming in, these women were all happy.
Li Mengshi wiped her tears and said:
"Yibo, are you back?"
Seeing this, Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward to salute him and said excitedly:
"Mrs. Mistress is worried!"
"Just come back, just come back!"
When people meet and talk to each other, there is no need to mention it.
Afterwards, Feng Yibo distributed the gifts one by one and asked people to bring gifts to send to relatives and friends.
So that people would know that he has returned.
In addition to Lin Ruhai, there were also Xia Bingzhong, Zhang Songyue, etc., who were also sent over according to their elder status.
Although Liu Zheng, Yang Mingxin, Feng Ziying, Jia Yucun, Wang Jiren, etc. were also polite, they all had to be ranked first.
There were also truckloads of gifts shipped to Ningrong and Rongfu.
Most of them were sent to Rongfu, and Ningfu only sent one of the second-best ones.
On the Rongfu side, Lixiangyuan and Jiafu are separate, but they are all based on the highest standards.
After all, one is the mother-in-law, and there is also an elder like Mrs. Shi on the other side.
As for Jia Fu Baoyu and Sanchun and other sisters, they were not sent separately.
They are all included in the share of Rong Mansion.
Only the eldest sisters Jia Lan and Jia Lian were given separate portions.
When he came back, Feng Yibo specially warned him.
Whatever I give to Jia Lan in the future, I will also give a share to the eldest sister of the Jia family.
Everyone only thought that he and Jia Lian had a close relationship, but didn't think much about it.
Little did he know that Wang Xifeng stayed with him for a few days before he came back.
As a result, I couldn't sleep lying down for several days and could only lie on my stomach.
With such hard work, Feng Yibo would not let her suffer in vain.
How could she refuse her request to take care of her little sister?
In fact, even without Wang Xifeng's explanation, Feng Yibo would still be like this.
After all, Keqing's father and brothers all took over.
Wang Xifeng must have been jealous, but he couldn't take the kiss from her.
Helping take care of one or two is also a deserved score.
Everything has been arranged here, and the sky is gradually getting dark.
Feng Yibo was thinking about which house he should go to first today.
After walking for half a year, he had forgotten who was on the previous shift.
At this time, Li Shouzhong got off work from the ministry and sent someone to summon him to the study to talk.
Feng Yibo quickly stopped thinking and went straight to Li Shouzhong's study.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Shouzhong standing up to greet him, stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile.
"Teacher!"
Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward to pay homage and was supported by Li Shouzhong.
"Yibo, you did a good job this time! You really have the majesty of my great Wei!"
Li Shouzhong spoke at this time, obviously a little excited.
As the Minister of Rites, he was naturally involved in the matter of donating land and conferring a title.
Even provide corresponding opinions.
In fact, the two of them had already met during the day.
It was just too hasty and no time to say more.
So as soon as Li Shouzhong came back, he called Feng Yibo to talk.
"My mentor deserves the award, but it's just a fluke."
Feng Yibo smiled shyly, said a few words modestly, and then said:
"I left for more than half a year, which made my mentor worried."
Li Shouzhong was smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. When he heard this, he waved his hands and kept saying:
"It's good to come back. Besides, you are here to do business and make great achievements."
As the master and apprentice talked, they went to the study and sat opposite each other.
Li Shouzhong's smile did not diminish and he couldn't help but reveal:
"Tomorrow at the court meeting, you will steal the show again. I think everyone in the court will be envious of you!"
Although this matter has been decided, it is still in the confidentiality stage.
Even Feng Yibo, the person involved, should not have known about it in advance.
But there was no one else around at this time, so Li Shouzhong couldn't help but reveal a little.
He participated in the final deliberations and expressed his views on the land donation and the sealing.
Just to avoid suspicion, Li Shouzhong didn't say a word about Feng Yibo's reward.
But even so, in his opinion, this reward was enough to shock the entire court of civil and military officials!
Of course, surprise is surprise.
After all, no one can say anything against such a great achievement.
Feng Yibo also knew the importance. Although he was a little curious, he didn't ask deeply.
We will know the result tomorrow morning.
If I ask now, there will be no benefit other than making my mentor violate his principles.
Moreover, even if you know it, there is no possibility of changing it.
It's better to leave it as a surprise and we'll find out tomorrow.
Therefore, when Feng Yibo heard this, he just smiled and said:
"It's just a lucky coincidence. It went quite smoothly."
Then Li Shouzhong asked some more questions about Zai Liuqiu, and Feng Yibo answered them one by one.
Basically, they were all told to Emperor Jingshun.
Li Shouzhong nodded frequently when he heard this, without any suspicion at all.
It has been two years since he became the Minister of Rites, and now his position is becoming more and more stable.
Many relatives and friends, as well as former students and disciples, came to vote.
Although he needed wings, he still recruited some disciples.
But after experiencing the cold reception before, Li Shou naturally understood who was the most worthy of his trust.
Therefore, he took every word Feng Yibo said seriously.
The two talked late into the night before letting Feng Yibo go back.
After all, the journey was tiring and the meeting was during the day.
That night, Feng Yibo thought about it.
I didn’t choose to worship the Buddha first, nor did I choose to take a weekend off.
The You sisters and Miaoyu were all disappointed.
However, the three women also understood his hard work.
Besides, people are back, and there will be time for reunions.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Feng Yibo changed into court clothes.
Together with Li Shouzhong, we arrived at Tai Chi Hall.
Feng Yibo, who had had a night's rest, was in high spirits today.
Many civil and military officials had already gotten wind of the news, and they all cast inquiring glances.
Not long after, Emperor Jingshun went to the palace.
All the ministers are saluting and serving the class.
After the emperor and his ministers met with each other, the first thing they did was the affairs of the East China Sea.
"The first thing about today's court meeting is that regarding the surrender of Donghai Kingdom, the Holy One has issued a decree."
The minister in charge announced loudly, and then the palace officials came out and read the edict loudly:
"The Emperor Jingshun of the Wei Dynasty was entrusted to Heaven, and the edict said:"
This is the formal format for issuing an edict to the outside world, with the country name and era name added.
"There is a new country in the East China Sea. After hearing that the Wei Dynasty is prosperous, its leader is yearning for it and decides to surrender his land..."
The following remarks were all praise for the Lord of the East China Sea.
There is also the yearning for the Wei Dynasty by the leader of the East China Sea.
"I feel his heart and agree to it! I am telling the world that I will follow the style of the ancients and change the country of Donghai to Donghai County, and lead the two states of Liuqiu and Lusong as a restraint."
The Wei Dynasty only had states, prefectures, provinces, etc., and there was no administrative unit of "county".
Donghai County has existed since ancient times and is located on the border of Shandong.
Changing Donghai Kingdom to Donghai County is obviously to take care of the name of Donghai Kingdom.
It also gives people the impression that it is the old land of the Central Plains.
Feng Yibo guessed that this was probably the result that the cabinet wanted after deliberations.
He didn't have much resistance to this.
"The former Lord of the Kingdom of Donghai bestowed upon him the title of Prince of Donghai County of the Great Wei Dynasty, and commanded the East China Sea County. He is hereditary and will guard the sea territory of the Great Wei Dynasty on his behalf!"
Apparently to avoid tabooing the word dragon, the Black Dragon King was not sealed.
However, Feng Yibo is quite satisfied with this title.
Although not as majestic as the Black Dragon King, being a Sea King is not bad.
"Donghai County...Da Wei...Holy Lord..."
What follows are some words to suit the occasion.
He talked about some of the connections between Donghai County and Wei Dynasty since ancient times.
Let’s also boast about how prosperous the Wei Dynasty was under the rule of Emperor Jingshun.
Finally, it is precisely because of these that Donghai County returned to the embrace of Wei and so on.
Feng Yibo, who was originally energetic, felt a little drowsy after hearing this.
"The great Wei Dynasty was as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty and lasted for thousands of generations!"
"Only by the wisdom of the Holy One can we spread the name of Wei Dynasty overseas and have the country surrender to us!"
While I was still drowsy, I heard the sound of flattery.
Feng Yibo knew that the reading was over and quickly cheered up.
"Also, pass on the Holy Spirit's oral instructions!"
Before these people could finish taking pictures, the palace man stepped forward again and said:
"The host of the Ministry of Rites is a doctor from the Qing Dynasty official department, and concurrently, Feng Yuan, the right young minister of Honglu Temple."
When he heard his name being called, Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward to give a big gift.
Seeing that he was in front of Lord Dan, the palace servants continued to preach:
"Since taking office, he has been diligent in political affairs, preaching education, and gaining prestige overseas..."
After saying a lot of compliments, Feng Yibo blushed a little.
"This time I went out to sea alone to conquer the East China Sea Kingdom. When I am done, it will be no less than the achievement of opening up the border..."
After finally finishing the rhetoric, the following is the most critical appointment.
"Now I am specially promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the director of overseas affairs!"
Minister.
etc!
The right minister of the Ministry of Etiquette of the third rank?
When Feng Yibo heard this, he was so surprised that he raised his head and glanced at Danbi.
Emperor Jingshun was seen looking at him with a smile.
Feng Yibo was completely refreshed now, and he quickly lowered his head to thank him!
When he thought about it, there was a high probability that he would be promoted by two ranks.
Or, the official position should not be changed, but an honorary title should be added.
So Feng Yibo doesn’t have much expectations for this!
To be honest, this is not the first time he has made great achievements.
Although the credit this time is of a different nature than before.
After all, the suppression of Japanese pirates is nothing more than domestic suppression of bandits!
If Zhao Wensong hadn't messed up, he wouldn't have been able to show off his abilities at all.
In addition, at that time, the official position was low and the position was low, so even being promoted to the fourth level was inconspicuous.
Otherwise, let alone being promoted to four levels, being able to be promoted to two levels is a sign of great favor from the Emperor!
But those above level 5 can be considered as high-ranking officials, and each level up is extremely difficult.
Even though this time is called recruiting, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is about opening up new territories.
But he has already reached the fifth rank, and it would be outrageous to be promoted to the fourth rank in a row.
What's more, relatively speaking, the biggest reward must be given to the East China Sea Kingdom.
Now there is a county king over there in the East China Sea, and a Donghai County is created for this purpose.
This is already the best result Feng Yibo expected.
But now, it has been upgraded to level four?
It’s time to become a waiter!
Feng Yibo's surprise was still on his face, not as much as Xie En's.
Unexpectedly, this is not the end!
"I will also be promoted to the rank of Captain of Qingchao to show my merits!"
Good guy!
Regardless of just a few words, the weight is not half lighter than that of a waiter!
Now, not only has the official been promoted to four levels, but the honorary title has also been added!
The so-called honorary position refers to the position of martial arts.
Being called a Lord together with a title is also an honorary title.
In the Wei Dynasty, among the nobles, except for the princes, there was no fiefdom.
So it can be regarded as one Lord.
This Captain of the Shang Qing Chao is a third-grade martial artist.
It is said that he is of the same rank as Jia Zhen's hereditary third-grade mighty general!
Of course, the position of general, even if it is a general, is much more noble than a captain.
What's more, the captaincy cannot be hereditary!
There are two types of Lords, one is only granted for life, and the other is hereditary.
Whether it is hereditary or not is generally determined by military merit.
But they all have to issue certificates to honor their achievements.
Although Feng Yibo's contribution is not small, there is already the Black Dragon King in front of him.
You can't seal him too high any more.
Just this, all the civil and military officials in the court were looking at him in surprise!
Everyone knew that he was promoted today after all, but the title still exceeded the courtiers' expectations.
But everyone understood the importance Emperor Jingshun attached to this matter.
Naturally no one dared to object at this time.
That's not a criticism of the minister, but Chun Chun slapping Emperor Jingshun in the face.
"Appreciate this!"
Feng Yibo was thinking a lot, and when he heard these two words, he knew it was time to thank him.
He received the appointment and title certificate, bowed profusely in front of His Holiness, and shouted:
"Your Majesty Feng Yuan, thank you for your kindness!"
As the saying goes, Feng Yibo got all the promotions at once.
The civil servant was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
He was also given the title of Captain of the Light Cart.
Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty set down the ancestral precepts:
No title can be granted to those who do not serve the country's military merits, and titles cannot be granted unless they are specifically designed to do so.
Captain Shang Qingqi is a third-grade honorary title, and the title must be at least general.
But although there is no title, it is not hereditary.
But it is already rare for civil servants to be awarded titles!
What's more, once you have the honorary title, you are one of the nobles!
Although he has a salary but no actual position, he is the captain of the light carriage.
But from now on, the Feng family has become a truly noble family!
Even if you are a member of a noble family, you should take a high look!
