marquis of jingan

Chapter 931

When Emperor Taizu of the Great Chen established his nobility, he removed the viscounts and barons among the sons of Duke Duke, leaving only the third-class title of Duke Duke.

These three ranks of nobility are further divided into Liujue and Spailor.

To put it simply, it is a lifetime title and a hereditary title.

The so-called marquis that the emperor told Shen Yi was a hereditary marquis, a marquis that could be "hereditary" and passed on from generation to generation.

Because the threshold for titles is high, the difficulty of obtaining titles will naturally increase in a straight line. In addition, the Great Chen court is very stingy with titles. Apart from the group of heroes at the founding of the country, there are still a few princely families left. The ministers of later generations rarely won titles again, and even if they were awarded titles, most of them were streaming titles, not world titles.

For more than 60 years since Nandu to the present, there is only one person who has really won the title of Dachen, and that is the general Zhao Chong who led the Huaihe Navy and fought against the enemy bravely. General Zhao made outstanding achievements and was named hereditary The Marquis of Anping, this title has been passed down from generation to generation, and today's Marquis of Anping, Zhao Lu, is already the third Marquis of Anping.

Even the scholar who went to Jiankang City alone to meet Emperor Sejong and give advice to Emperor Sejong to retreat from Yidi and Anzong Temple, in the end, he was only conferred a title of nobility and did not get a hereditary title.

Up to now, most of the nobles in the imperial court are relatives of the descendants of the emperor. For example, the two younger brothers of the current Empress Dowager Sun, one younger brother was granted the title of Marquis, and the other was awarded the title of Earl.

Even so, the two younger brothers of the Empress Dowager Sun are both nobles. After the death of a person, the descendants cannot inherit the title.

After all, even if it is a blood relative to the emperor like the Prince Jin Mansion, if Li Mu hadn't done a lot in the past few years, he would have descended on his behalf when he accepted the title, let alone other people.

But now, the emperor actually personally promised Shen Yi a Spyker, which was almost a decision against his ancestors.

Of course, most of the province of Shandong is plain, and it is also the hinterland of the Central Plains. Whether it is for the Northern Qi or for the Great Chen, it is an extremely important place. If Shen Yi can really help the court take back Shandong, it will bring Emperor Hongde not only has a glorious face, but also a heavy inner face!

It is worthwhile to exchange the title of a Marquis for a province.

Shen Yi bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, as long as you can make up your mind to make a northern expedition, in the future, I, Da Chen, will take back Shandong."

Since the cake brother drew a cake for himself, then Master Shen can't show weakness, so naturally he has to draw a cake for the cake brother.

He looked up at the Son of Heaven, and said quietly: "In the future, I will take down Yandu, welcome the Grand Chen Ancestral Temple back to its homeland, and let Emperor Sejong and those hanging coffins that were not buried in Dachen decades ago, all be brought back. Yanjiao is safe in the ground."

Shen Yi's voice was low: "And you, Your Majesty, will be the first Emperor Chen to return to Yandu in more than 60 years. There are four words that can never be avoided when mentioning today and today in history books!"

"Hong De Zhongxing!"

With just a few words, His Majesty the Emperor's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

For a moment, he was a little stunned. It seemed that the scene of him leaving Jiankang and returning to Yandu with the majestic emperor appeared in front of his eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor was in a daze for a long time before he let out a heavy breath and murmured: "There really will be a day when Father's spirit in heaven will be comforted."

Although the former emperor had great ambitions and talents, he devoted his whole life to the Northern Expedition. When he died suddenly, the current Emperor Hongde was only ten years old.

How can a ten-year-old child not feel sad when his father is suddenly lost?How not to miss?

It's just that this Emperor Hongde, a young and mature man, learned to hide his emotions well when he was a teenager, and never showed his vulnerable side to outsiders.

But at this time, the emperor's mood was obviously agitated, so he had no scruples about Shen Yi who was present.

After feeling a lot of emotion, the emperor turned his head to look at the sky, took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and said lightly: "Okay, the lunch break is almost over, and our monarchs and ministers will continue to go to the front hall. Listen to their quarrel, Shen Qing, you should also watch them quarrel more."

The emperor said with a smile: "Those people quarrel, although it is a bit boring, but if you listen carefully, you can hear some interesting things."

Shen Yi nodded immediately, bowed his head and said: "Then your majesty, I should go to the front hall first."

The emperor thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "You go yourself, you and I will go together, for fear of causing trouble for you."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the emperor would suddenly go crazy, so he went back to the front hall with him. If they went back hand in hand, they would really be envied.

Even if all the people present are senior members of the third grade or above, they will still be jealous.

After returning to the front hall, the adults in the hall had already finished their meal, Shen Yi took a glance and found that Jiang Jian had gone and returned.

He is an official of the Ministry of War, at least an official in the Ministry of War. When Jiang Jian came back, it was difficult for him to continue standing behind Zhao Changping, so after saying hello to Master Zhao, he silently stood behind Old Man Jiang, smiling. Said: "Why didn't Tang Zun come in the morning to send Young Master Jiang home?"

The old man Jiang glanced back at Shen Yi, and rolled his eyes slightly: "The old man came here early in the morning, didn't he be ordered to meet you?"

Speaking of this, the minister of the Ministry of War squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Thanks to you, Ziheng, the expenditure of our Ministry of War next year has been spent at the Ministry of Households a few days ago, and our Ministry of War has no What other things can be discussed, the old man comes here today, it’s just a formality, it doesn’t make any difference whether you come or not.”

Shen Yi said with a smile: "So, Tang Zun has made a fortune."

"Then next year, how about giving [-] pieces of armor to the lower officials?"

The old man Jiang turned his head, glared at Shen Yi, then coughed violently twice, and said angrily: "What do you mean I have made a fortune? It is all the expenses of our Ministry of War, and every penny and tenth has to be recorded. The old man made a fortune." What money?"

Seeing that he was coughing badly, Shen Yi quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Tang Zun, the officer is talking about the Ministry of War, not you."

"Return [-] pieces of armor!"

Old man Jiang finally recovered a bit, and said angrily: "You have emptied the warehouse of the Ministry of War, if you want it again, just take a knife, wipe the old man's neck, and be the Minister of the Ministry of War yourself! "

Master Shen said with a smile: "Tang Zun said this, we have worked together in the same yamen for so many years, how can I be willing to harm you?"

"You retired and returned to your hometown when you were old, and you can recommend to His Majesty to be an official."

Jiang Jian knew that Shen Yi was joking with him, the little old man snorted, turned his head away, and ignored Shen Yi.

Master Shen still patted Jiang Shangshu on the back.

"Tang Zun, I really need armor, I'm not kidding."

Jiang Jian looked back at Shen Yi thoughtfully, and then said in a muffled voice: "Then the old man can't make it out for you. If you want armor, you have to get the imperial court's nod and let the military inspector rush to make it. At most, the military inspector will send it to you." When you are in the Ministry of War, the old man will have someone send it to you as soon as possible."

This is what Shen Yi wanted.

With the old man's cooperation, it will be much easier for him to get the equipment next year.

After all, this is an era of horribly low efficiency. If he doesn't remind him, he may not even get the equipment he deserves by the end of next year.

After breaking up with Old Man Jiang for a while, His Majesty the Emperor went back and continued to preside over the small court meeting.

Because there was nothing to do in the military department in the afternoon, Shen Yi, Jiang Jian, the old and the young, and the other two servants of the military department were all yawning and drowsy.

After finally arriving at Shen Shi, the small court meeting finally came to an end, and Shen Yi left with Jiang Jian.

After the four members of the Ministry of War walked out of the Deqing Palace, Shen Yi waved goodbye to the other two servants, then looked at Jiang Jian, and said with a smile: "Tang Zun, just now I saw that many Da Jiuqings took the initiative to greet Tang Zun, It seems that our Ministry of War is in the court..."

"It's loud."

Jiang Shang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I really want to thank you, Ziheng, for this matter. With you in Huai'an, our military department is indeed much more prosperous than before. When we came to the court to discuss, how can anyone care about our military department?"

An old man and a young man talked while walking, and they arrived at the gate of the palace in a short while. Shen Yi didn't plan to report to the Ministry of War, so he bid farewell to the little old man.

Zhao Changping on the side was already waiting for Shen Yi.

Shen Yi went up, bowed to Zhao Shangshu, and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, aren't you going back to the household department?"

It's not long since I entered Shenyang, and it's not yet four o'clock in the afternoon if it is calculated in another world.

For a workaholic like Zhao Changping, he rarely skipped work at this time.

Zhao Changping looked at Shen Yi's sleeves with a smile on his face: "Today, the court meeting and the two servants from the household department are also here, and everything that should be settled has also been settled. There is nothing too important, so I will not discuss it." Back to the yamen."

"It's rare for you to come back, Ziheng, and go to my house together. Later, someone will call Qingque, mother and child, and have a meal at my house in the evening."

Shen Yi was about to refuse, when he heard Zhao Shangshu cough and said: "Your second elder brother won't come back for the new year, your aunt will inevitably be concerned about it, she may not believe what the uncle said, and you need to go talk to her say something."

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded his head to express his understanding. He thought for a while and said, "Master, let's go home first, and my nephew will also go home."

He looked down at the boa robe on his body, and said with a wry smile: "I really feel uncomfortable wearing this clothes. I will go back and change clothes, and I will take Qingque mother and son to the uncle's house in a while."

"What to change?"

Zhao Shangshu looked at the python robe, laughed and said: "Other people want to wear it, but they haven't had the chance yet. This dress is pretty good, so you can wear it and show it to your aunt."

After all, he couldn't help but watch Shen Yi walk towards the gate of the imperial city and get into Zhao's carriage.

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of Zhao's house. Shen Yi, who was dressed in a red embroidered python suit, got out of the carriage feeling uncomfortable, and was dragged by Zhao Changping into Zhao's house.

When we arrived at Zhao's house, we would naturally go to see Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao reached out to help Shen Yi up, and then looked at the clothes on Shen Yi, admiring again and again. She first let Shen Yi sit down, then glanced at her husband, smiled at Shen Yi: "At the beginning, Qilang came to our house , I feel that Qilang is different from ordinary people, and there must be a time when he will make a great success in the future, and now he really has a great success."

Along the way, she glanced at Zhao Changping, smiled at Shen Yi, and said, "Your master has been in the court for decades, and you have never seen the emperor, so you are rewarded with such a suit of clothes."

Shen Yi couldn't sit still, and said with a wry smile: "It was originally locked in the cabinet, and I didn't intend to wear it. Today is His Majesty's special order, so I have to wear it..."

He wiped the sweat from his brow.

"I made my aunt laugh."

"Where is this a joke?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at Shen Yi's sleeve, and sighed long: "Your two senior brothers at home, as long as you have two or three points of Qilang's ability, Auntie closes her eyes now, and she walks away with a smile."

Hearing this and seeing Zhao Changping standing aside, Shen Yi immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Auntie is wrong, elder brother is studying at home, let alone mention it, second elder brother has really done a lot for the court in Huai'an in the past six months less things."

"Now, he is still handling military gunpowder and firearms in Huai'an, and he is inseparable from him."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Some time ago, my nephew reported his meritorious service to the imperial court. When the imperial court rewards him for his merits, the second elder brother will definitely be rewarded."

"In the future, the second brother will not have a future without seeing him."

"future?"

Mrs. Zhao was very happy when she heard the words. Although there were smiles in her eyes, she still said: "What future does he have? If he doesn't cause trouble for the family, my aunt will go to burn incense to pay off her wish."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. If you don't dare to say anything else, it may not be worse than Senior Brother Song."

As a mother, Mrs. Zhao was naturally happy to hear others praise her son, so she pulled Shen Yi to ask questions about what Zhao Jizhou had done in the army, and Shen Yi answered them all truthfully.

While the two were talking, the Zhao family's daughter and son-in-law Song Ying also arrived at the Zhao residence. After a while, Lu Ruoxi and his eldest son, Shen Yuan, also rushed over. Zhao Shangshu was in a good mood, and bent over to hug Shen Yuan In my arms, I played with him for a while.

Two families...or three families had dinner at Zhao's.

At the dinner table, everyone's eyes were basically on the python robe on Shen Yi's body, feeling uncomfortable looking at Master Shen.

He is more or less socially phobic.

After drinking and eating, Lu Ruoxi took his son to play with the Zhao family's women and children, while Shen Yi followed Zhao Changping into the Zhao family's study.

After the two sat down, Zhao Shangshu looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "After today's court discussion, no one dares to talk about seniority, and no one will recognize Ziheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "I'm not a serious military servant at all, I don't have a real job."

Zhao Shangshu said with a smile: "When the rank is reached, the authority will arrive sooner or later."

"I don't know how many people in the imperial court are trapped on the fourth rank, unable to move for a lifetime."

Having said that, he looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Will Ziheng go to the Northern Expedition next year?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, then nodded.

"I hope so…"
