Dajin royal family

Chapter 73

Three generations of official enjoyment, Juize VI.

If one person is an official, he can benefit three generations.One person has a noble, and the sixth generation enjoys blessings.The Great Jin abolished the titles of uncle, marquis, son, and male in the previous dynasty, leaving only the "gong" titles.

The "Gong" Jue is divided into three categories: the Duke of the State, the Duke of the County, and the Duke of the County.The title of Dajin is very valuable, and the first emperor formulated the rule of "surrendering in three generations".

To put it simply, if you are a duke of the state, then your son and grandson are both dukes of the state, until your great-grandson is degraded to be the duke of the county, and then downgraded to the duke of the county for three generations.The same is true for the county magistrate and county magistrate.

However, there are some differences among them, such as Xingyang County Duke, Wenxi County Duke, Hongnong County Duke, etc. These titles themselves are not important, what is important is the meaning they represent.

For example, the Duke of Xingyang County, which represents the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang recognized by the imperial court, the most famous branch of the Zheng family in the world.

In addition, another kind of title is more valuable, it is the founding title.

For example, the title of former Bing Guogong, it is the title that Li Yuan obtained with the first emperor's blood and sweat decades ago, and it belongs to the title of being with Guo Zuo.Generally speaking, as long as no one in the family rebels, the title can be passed down forever. Although there is a rule of descending from three generations, it can be passed down to nine generations. same day off.

Therefore, the Duke of the State is the highest title other than the royal title of the clan.It is precisely because the gold content is too high that the emperor now does not give titles casually.

For example, Sun Sheng, the head of Dangkou County, for his achievements in pacifying the Western Regions and defeating the Western Turks, the emperor was not willing to give him a better title, but instead named him General Zuowuwei.

Which is more valuable, the title or the position?

Of course, it is a title. The title can sit at home and collect money, enjoy the status of nobility, and pass it on to your children and grandchildren.

Can the job be done?

Posts cannot.

Duke Langya, who is similar to Jiang Chengxiao, is actually just an excess. When King Zhao dies, he will inherit the prince.But at that time, it may drop a little bit, such as becoming the king of two words, or the king of the county.

It is impossible to continue to inherit the "King of Zhao", and the concept of a constant king does not yet exist.

Therefore, what Li Yuan felt most distressed this time was not that he was dismissed by the emperor as Bashu prefect, but that he was dismissed by the emperor from the title of "Duke of Bingguo".

If the position is gone, you can still find another one through connections, but it will be difficult if the title is gone.Now that the world is peaceful, there is no place to make contributions.He is not a giant Guanzhong nobleman like the Dou family, the Dugu family, or the Wei family.One generation can't do it, but it can still rise by relying on the profound family heritage.

From his father Li Hu, their Li family has been a middle-class nobleman in Guanzhong. When it came to him, he finally got lucky and married the daughter of the Dou family.

It's all right now, being slapped by the emperor from beginning to end, and can be compared with the former Yasukuni Gong.

Li Yuan took one last look at Chang'an City, sighed and lowered the curtain, retreated into the ox cart, and became depressed.

He felt that he was careful enough. He was clear that the emperor was dissatisfied with the nobles in Guanzhong. At that time, the emperor refused to allow him to marry the eldest grandson's family, and he immediately agreed because he was afraid of being targeted by the emperor.

He is very self-aware, the emperor may not dare to do anything to the Dugu family, the Dou family, and the Wei family because of fear, but it is more than enough to deal with his Li family.Therefore, he has no objection to any arrangement of the emperor, and he is obedient.

His arms couldn't twist his thighs, not to mention he didn't even have a finger in front of the emperor.

But after all calculations, he still became a victim of the struggle between the emperor and the nobles in Guanzhong.

He believed that Erlang of his family might clash with the prince of Zhao because of his anger, but he never believed that Erlang would dare to stab the prince of Zhao with a knife.

What's more, he also warned Erlang.After something happened, it's not that he didn't beat Erlang severely to make him admit what he did.But Erlang didn't admit that he was covered in blood, so he knew that Erlang was not lying.

In addition, the emperor licked him from beginning to end, and he understood that the emperor was killing a chicken to show the monkeys, and used him to warn the nobles in Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed again. If Erlang didn't go to this autumn hunting, perhaps the emperor would not have the opportunity to find an excuse to attack him.

But it's useless to think about it now, I'll go back to Bing County honestly and make plans.

"A Lang, don't blame Er Lang, he will never dare to kill people." Mrs. Dou, nestled in the corner of the bullock cart, held a child in her arms, and said weakly.

"I know, what do you know as a woman." Li Yuan was very annoyed, he thought, if you and Mrs. Changsun made some kind of bullshit marriage contract, the troubles would have become like this.

After being yelled at by Li Yuan, Dou didn't dare to speak while holding the child.It was the child who looked at Li Yuan without fear.

Li Yuan now only hopes that he will have the opportunity to return to the court, otherwise the family will soon be lonely in Bing County.

Royal Palace.

In the imperial study room, recently Goguryeo paid tribute to a batch of precious flowers and plants. Among them, the beautiful ones were divided by the women in the palace, and a cedar tree with crazy branches was left at his side.The winter is about to enter, and the cedar is still growing firmly in the potted plants. During the busy government affairs, pruning the branches of the cedar has become the emperor's pastime.

"Crack!"

The scissors in the emperor's hands moved quickly, and the branches were trimmed in an orderly and regular manner.

A servant came over, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan's family has already left Chang'an City, and the Jin Wu Guards are escorting them behind."

"Yeah." The emperor snorted, "Go down and let Shen Guang in."

The servants and maids went down, and a man in military uniform entered the imperial study.

"His Majesty."

The emperor continued pruning the cedar, and asked, "Mr. Langya, is everything alright?"

Shen Guang said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, your servants have a sense of proportion."

"If you don't measure up, I can't forgive you."

Shen Guang smiled honestly, and heard the emperor say again: "Let's deal with the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty, that night, all those who knew about it were dealt with. We were very careful in our actions, and they couldn't catch it." Shen Guang said.

"is it?"

The emperor said: "How did you get the injury on your body?"

Shen Guang touched the scabbed scar on his face, and said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the guards of Duke Langya should not be underestimated."

"The one named Nan Jiyun?" The emperor straightened his waist.

"Yes, apart from Nan Jiyun, everyone else should not be underestimated." Shen Guang said.

The emperor said: "You were not recognized by him."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I've been wearing a hat and mask, he can't recognize it."

The emperor nodded, cut off the branches growing from the cedar, turned to look at Shen Guang, pointed to the potted plants and said, "How did I cut it?"

Shen Guang glanced at it and sighed in admiration: "It's so ingenious."

"Sycophant." The emperor laughed and cursed, looked down at the potted plant, and said with a smile on his face, "It looks much better and more disciplined after cutting it like this."

Recently, something happened to Prince Zhao's mansion. His son, Lord Langya Jiang Chengxiao was stabbed by the female godfather and he was stuck on the bed. According to the imperial doctor in the palace, although the wound of Prince Langya was not fatal, it was very May cause old diseases.The so-called old disease, of course, refers to the disease left by the body of the previous sick man.

The aristocratic circle all expressed sympathy for Duke Langya, and finally regained his health, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, not to mention the physical injury, but also the embarrassment.

The emperor also expressed condolences to Lord Langya, and rewarded him with several boxes of precious herbs to make up his body, but most people said that the body can be healed, and the son's heartache may not be healed for a while.

What surprised the noble children the most was that Zhao Wang's mansion would hold a big wedding with Dangkou County's mansion in a few days.Many people felt that the eldest grandson lady who made Li Erlang kill in a fit of anger was probably not innocent anymore.

Many noble children once again expressed sympathy for Duke Langya.Of course, most people thought that Li Erlang must be the daughter of the Changsun family.The poor Duke of Langya was put on a hat by the eldest grandson before he got married.

Regarding the rumors from the outside world, the government of Dangkou County stated that they were all rumours, and the girl from the eldest grandson's family was innocent and could not be slandered by others.Prince Zhao's Mansion was very quiet, and no sound came out.

However, insiders said that King Zhao smashed Yuan Bingguo's mansion in a rage.Some insiders said that Li Erlang had been secretly done by King Zhao.People who are even more outrageous say that the son of King Zhao is dead, and the grandson's marriage is to have a "(min) marriage" or to be buried with him.

Prince Zhao's Mansion, Jiang Chengxiao's small courtyard.

He knelt on the cushion, and there was a table in front of him, and incense was rising from the incense burner on the table.He was wearing a big coat and holding a small stove in his hand.A few steps away is the walkway outside, and outside is the bare peach tree.

At the end of October, there was already a light snowfall in the capital, and he just sat quietly in the house watching the snow.

His hair was not tied up, it was casually draped over his shoulders, his eyes were as clear as water, and his face was very calm, it didn't look like he had been stabbed.

However, he was indeed stabbed somewhere in the abdomen, but the wound was not deep and did not hurt internal organs, so there was no major problem.

The melons that the people in the capital ate these past few days were all wrong, because he was the only person involved that night... No, there were also Nan Jiyun and Wu Shanhui.Because everyone else is dead.

What happened that night? After he taught Li Anmin a lesson, a group of people who claimed to be domestic servants of the Binggong Mansion came to them, and the two sides fought each other. As a result, they had never been beaten, and they were knocked out by the other party, and then they The house slave of the other party died almost as well as the other party's house slave, and he himself was knocked out by the other party, and then made up for it.

He didn't see Li Anmin from the beginning to the end, so the melons eaten outside were all fake, and it wasn't Li Anmin who stabbed him.

The reason why he didn't stand up to refute the rumors was because after he woke up, the case had already been settled by the emperor, and he was also forced to rest in the mansion to recuperate.

Afterwards, he didn't even intend to stand up and refute the rumors, because he didn't believe that his slave could beat Li Anmin's slave at all.

The group of people who appeared that night were not domestic slaves at all. Although he was blind, the other party obviously had the same coordination as an army formation when they moved, and their moves went straight to the vital point, often killing them with one move.

He couldn't stop it at all, not to mention that the two sides were fighting so fiercely that Jin Wuwei didn't know it at all.More importantly, he didn't believe that Li Anmin had no brains at all, and he didn't believe that the opponent hit him so hard just to scratch his skin.

Combined with the recent treatment of Li Yuan's family, he basically understood who was behind the scenes.His father's calm attitude also indirectly told him that the matter behind it was not simple.

Besides, it was Li Anmin who was dealt with, why did he overturn the case.The only pity for him was that his father did not break off the marriage, which really made him very depressed.

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Nan Jiyun appeared in the corridor and knelt down on one knee, "Master, reply from the Shunguo Palace."

"Bring it in."

Nan Jiyun got up and put the letter on the table.His forehead was wrapped in a white cloth. Almost all his servants died that night, only Nan Jiyun and Wu Shanhui persisted until the end.

"How's the injury?" Jiang Chengxiao put down the tea and took the letter.

Nan Jiyun said in shame: "Master, forgive me, Jiyun will definitely practice martial arts more in the future."

"Except for you, it will be the same for the guards in the future. I don't want the same thing to happen again." Jiang Chengxiao had lingering fears.The feeling of being knocked out that night was really bad, and he didn't want to experience it again.

"My subordinate understands!"

When something happened this time, apart from the few relatives in Prince Zhao's mansion, Chifan should be the most worried. In order to avoid her worry, Jiang Chengxiao wrote a letter to her very early to reassure her.

Opening the letter, Yuchi Chifan told him to pay attention to self-cultivation, and she would fast and pray for him in the mansion.Now that he is about to get married, it is difficult for Yuchi Chifan to make an appointment to meet again.

Moreover, his father may have thought that he would run away from marriage if this happened, so he has been forbidden to leave the palace during this period of time, which can be regarded as house arrest in disguise.

But he has no plans to go out, because getting married is a very troublesome thing in this era, and he doesn't think of the time to ride a horse to meet the marriage, because he is now a "hard-fated" person among the people in Chang'an.

Fortunately, because of being stabbed, it is now known to the outside world that he is not in good health and has caused old diseases, so he went along with the flow and became a hands-off groom this time.

A few days ago, someone from the Changsun family told him solemnly that the Changsun family was not as shameless and incomplete as the outside world said, and even brought the imperial physician in the palace to testify that the Changsun family's palace guard is still there, and it is still the same. Virgin.

And because of his physical condition, the Changsun family has no other rigid requirements for this wedding, and they will marry Changsun to him at that time.As for the wedding process, after the sum of the two, the process that can be saved is basically saved.

Gently fiddled with the paper, he sighed inexplicably, but in the end he became a pawn in someone else's hands, which makes people very uncomfortable to think about.

"Jiyun, how is the construction of Langya County's mansion going?"

The emperor gave him a very good house in Wuhefang, but he never got over it due to the long-term disrepair. Instead, he asked Uncle Mai to find a craftsman to rest and renovate.

"It's almost there. Master should be able to move in on his wedding day." Nan Jiyun said: "Master, are we going to leave the palace in the future?"

Gently flicking the little frog on the stack of papers on the table, he smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Yes, I can't still live with my father after marriage."

Although living together is harmless, and the palace is big enough, but he doesn't want to, doesn't want to stay here anymore.

"When you leave, remember to transplant all the peach trees in the yard, take away what should be taken away, and don't pick slaves and guards from the palace, but buy some from outside... Well, just follow I asked you to select the criteria for plum blossom people. Do you understand what I mean?"

Nan Jiyun nodded heavily, "This subordinate understands that the mansion of Langya County is the master's mansion of Langya County."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled gratifiedly, "Ji Yun, you did a good job. Although we suffered a serious injury on the surface this time, it also let me see your ability. Wu Shanhui is very good, stay and follow me from now on, outside You have to pay attention to things."

"The subordinates understand that they will definitely not disappoint the master. What happened that night will never happen again." Nan Jiyun's eyes showed a trace of coldness.
