Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 304
Silence fell in the carriage.

After all, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and Luo Xing would not take the initiative to initiate a conversation. Zhuo Chunfeng, on the other hand, maintained his identity and had no intention of wooing them.

Perhaps he also knew that Luo Xing, as the husband-in-law of Ye Hongyi's apprentice and Meng Yi's disciple, was not from the same group and there was no need to let down his dignity.

This young man speaks and behaves so sophisticatedly and calmly, it is obvious that he cannot speak in just a few words.

Instead of wasting your efforts, it is better not to open this mouth and make the other party look down on you.

Zhuo Chunfeng's carriage was specially made, fast and stable. It arrived in front of the imperial city soon. According to the rules, no one was allowed to ride vehicles when entering the imperial city.

Exceptions are those that are chartered.

Zhuo Chunfeng is one of those people who has this privilege.

Otherwise, it would take less than half an hour to walk from the gate of the Imperial City to Changming Palace. In the forbidden area of ​​the Imperial City, no Qing Gong is allowed, let alone running around.

In the imperial city, there are prescribed routes for walking. You cannot walk too fast. If you take the wrong route and are discovered by the patrolling guards, you will be arrested on the spot. Even if your identity is proved to be correct afterwards, you will still be beaten.

The palace rules are strict, and they are for people. It depends on who you are. If you are someone who can break the rules, you can do whatever you want. If not, you have to do whatever you want.

Meeting the emperor is not something you can do just by saying you want to see him. You have to wait until the emperor has time to see you. Then you can meet him. The rest of the time you can only wait outside.

You are waiting outside the door, and you are not allowed to move around at will, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are not there when someone is called inside.

This was not the case with the Grand Governor Zhuo Chunfeng. As soon as he arrived, he called people in. There should be other ministers reporting work inside.

Although today is not a big court meeting, the emperor still has to deal with various matters every day, meet with ministers from various ministries, and discuss matters.

Although Luo Xing was not very interested in the government affairs of the court, he still listened carefully for a while. Later, he found out that these people were talking about nothing nutritious, so he lost interest and leaned against the corridor outside. The pillar closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Although last night was not a farewell, it was better than a wedding. If Qingyi hadn't taken the initiative to beg for mercy, he would have let her...

This "mandarin duck change" given by the master is really powerful. If this continues, Qingyi alone may not be able to satisfy herself. No, how could she have such an idea?
When did you have it, or is it still hidden deep in your heart and not revealed?

After finally finishing talking, two officials in purple robes came out. Luo Xing straightened up quickly and stood with his hands hanging down.

Those who can wear purple robes are all officials of the second rank or above. He is a small captain and an eighth-rank sesame mung bean official, but there is a huge difference.

The two purple-robed officials walked past him without even looking at him. It was obvious that they did not take such a small person like him seriously at all.

In the officialdom, what matters is not cultivation, but rank. Even if the two purple-robed old men are dying, their status is much higher than that of Luo Xing.

If people have the capital to look down on you, will an elephant look down at an ant on the ground?
"Captain Luo, your Majesty has summoned you." At this time, a young father-in-law came out quickly, came to Luo Xing, bowed slightly and said.

"Thank you father-in-law."

"Seventh brother, after meeting His Majesty later..."

"Who are you?" Luo Xing was shocked. He didn't know anyone in the palace. Why did the eunuch suddenly call him so affectionately? This was what he was often called in the secret camp.

Could it be that the eunuch in front of me came from the secret camp?

There were indeed many people in the Nanya secret camp who failed to persist to the end and ended up going elsewhere. The palace was also a road, but this road was too destructive to the body and mind. Generally, no one would choose this.

Without thinking too much, Luo Xing had already stepped into the hall, so he did not dare to say anything more and quickly followed the eunuch forward.

Finally met the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

Luo Xing lowered his head and only used his peripheral vision to see a middle-aged man wearing luxurious fur clothes sitting on the throne. A majesty came to him, giving people a sense of self-reliance and authority. Nanya University The governor's Zhuo Chunfeng stood aside.

"Commander Luo Xing of the Special Investigation Department of Chennan Ya came to see Your Majesty!" When you follow the local customs, you must kneel down when you see the emperor. Failure to kneel is contempt of imperial power. It is disrespectful and will be punished.

He does not have the privilege of not kneeling before the emperor.

"Luo Qing, please get up." Emperor Yongxi raised his hand slightly and said with a smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Xing stood up from the ground and stood with his hands down.

"Luo Qing, raise your head and let me have a look?"

Luo Xing was slightly startled, but he slowly raised his head, met Emperor Yongxi's eyes in the air, and then lowered his head again.

"Luo Qing's appearance is pretty good, no wonder she is favored by Qingyi, the most beautiful woman in Nanya!" Emperor Yongxi also smiled and teased.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"I summoned you alone because I have some questions that I want you to answer for me. Is that possible?" Emperor Yongxi asked with a warm look.

"Your Majesty, you have betrayed me, and I have told you everything you know," Luo Xing said, cupping his hands.

"Yan Qing said in the report that the search for Taoist Chi's tomb was your fault alone, but he didn't provide any details. I'm curious, how did you do it?"

"Your Majesty, I once obtained a strange beast called the Scent-Sniffing Rat, and it is very sensitive to smell. As long as it can find people by following the smell within a certain period of time, I am very familiar with this strange beast, General Qing Yilang. The smell on his body, coupled with the fact that General Qing Yilang deliberately left a clue, I only need to follow this clue, and I will naturally be able to find His Highness and others who were held hostage by Chiqi." Luo Xing explained.

"Is this the fragrant rat the one from the Three Massacres in Mobei?" Zhuo Chunfeng exclaimed in surprise. "Reporting to the Grand Governor, that's right."

"Such exotic beasts have always been difficult to tame and subdue. How did you do it?" Zhuo Chunfeng asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm timid and cautious. It thinks it's safe to follow me." Luo Xing's Chunqiu style of writing was written in one stroke.

"Luo Qing's statement is interesting, but there are no certain rules for choosing the master of a strange beast. However, it has indeed made great achievements this time." Emperor Yongxi laughed.

"Luo Qing, what reward do you want for your great achievements this time?"

As soon as Emperor Yongxi said these words, even Zhuo Chunfeng, who was standing by, showed a hint of surprise. Emperor Yongxi had always been stingy, and he had always given it to you instead of you asking for it. This time he actually asked Luo Chunfeng. Xing, I don’t know if it’s a test or sincerity?
"Everything I did was my duty. I dare not ask for any reward!" Luo Xing is not stupid. In this case, you are really stupid.

"Really not?"

"Your Majesty, I am an orphan, and Nan Ya is my home. If Your Majesty really wants to reward me, please give the reward to Nan Ya." Luo Xing knelt down and said.

Emperor Yongxi was stunned, and Zhuo Chunfeng was also a little confused.

Luo Xing's answer was completely unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable and makes people unable to fault it.

"Luo Qing is loyal to the king, patriotic, and has a pure heart, which is very good." Emperor Yongxi was quite satisfied. He stepped down from the throne, reached out and helped Luo Xing up personally.

I'm afraid the two purple robes who went out just now didn't get this kind of treatment, right?

"I always reward meritorious service, Luo Qing accepts the title!"

Luo Xing quickly knelt down again.

"Luo Qing traveled thousands of miles to rescue Princess Liuli and the fourth prince, captured the remnants of the former Dali Kingdom, and assisted Yan Qing in exterminating the Jingyang thieves who had caused trouble for many years. He has made great contributions to the country. I have specially decreed to confer you and me the title of third-class marquis." Emperor Yongxi Jin Open your mouth.

Being a third-class lord and ranking second-rank is a step up to the sky. Luo Xing is just an eighth-rank mung bean official now, and reaching the second rank all at once is a bit too high.

Zhuo Chunfeng has not yet been granted the title of Marquis. When the time comes, how can he, the chief governor, suppress Luo Xing, a third-ranking official?
However, Luo Xing, a third-class waiter, did not have a title. For example, Ye Hongyi, a first-class marquis, was given the title "Wuning".

This title of marquis can be inherited and can be maintained even if it is downgraded. However, a marquis without a title can only be owned by an individual. Unless the emperor decrees that a son can be selected to inherit, the generation will be terminated.

Although Zhuo Chunfeng felt uncomfortable in his heart, he could not express his objection in front of the arbitrary emperor Qian Gang. He hurriedly scolded Luo Xing who was kneeling on the ground, "Captain Luo, you haven't accepted the order to thank me."

"Your Majesty, despite my virtues and abilities, I would never dare to accept this title. Please take it back." Luo Xing did not accept the reward, but refused directly. Just kidding, if he accepted this third-class prince With the title of nobility, I am afraid that he will be isolated in Nanya immediately. At that time, I am afraid that Zhuo Chunfeng will be the first to suppress him. Moreover, in Nanya, he is just like being a monk for a day and ringing the clock for a day. There will not be so many opportunities. The idea of ​​"serving the country with loyalty".

"My golden mouth is open, how can I take it back?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't deserve such a generous reward for my humble merits. Please take your Majesty back." Luo Xing said firmly.

"Is it possible that Luo Qing is giving me three invitations and three concessions?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Since you don't dare, then since I have decreed to make you a third-class marquis, how can I change it easily." Emperor Yongxi also looked a little angry. Couldn't he be a "third-class marquis"?
"Luo Xing, you deserve your Majesty's reward, just accept it!" At this time, Zhuo Chunfeng also said.

"I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness!" Luo Xing knew that he could not refuse the title of "third-class marquis" and could only accept it.

"Luo Qing, please get up." Emperor Yongxi's face softened slightly.

"Qixi."

"The servant is here."

"Instruct the Imperial City Department to select a palace for Luo Qing in the capital. After repairs, it will be handed over to Luo Qing." Emperor Yongxi ordered.

"My slave obeys the order." Qixi bowed and left quickly.

"Luo Qing is still a captain in Nanya, which is too low. Zhuo Aiqing, Luo Qing is so young and promising, you should put more burdens on his shoulders." Emperor Yongxi turned around and said to Zhuo Chunfeng .

"What your Majesty said is that although Marquis Luo is young, he has outstanding abilities, so he should be entrusted with important responsibilities. Wei Chen is already considering appointing him as the head of the Special Investigation Division." Zhuo Chunfeng bowed slightly.

"Grand Governor, this is not a joke. How can He De, who holds such a humble position, serve as the head of the Special Investigation Office?" Luo Xing was startled. The Special Investigation Office was an organization established by Zhuo Chunfeng to separate the powers of the Jing'an Department, especially the Special Investigation Office. The function is an internal department, and sitting in this position is the target of a thousand people.

"The governor thinks that Marquis Luo is very suitable for the position of head of the Special Investigation Division." Zhuo Chunfeng smiled slightly, raised his hand to Emperor Yongxi, and said, "Your Majesty, the original intention of establishing the Special Investigation Division is to eliminate the spies and spies within. Silverfish, Luo Hou comes from a secret camp, has a clean family background, and has relatively simple relationships within Nanya. His agility and decisiveness are obvious to all, and he is the most suitable candidate."

"The Governor, I have a humble position in Nanya and my foundation is shallow. If I suddenly assume such an important position, I might not be able to convince the public. Please think again, the Governor!"

"Luo Xing, His Majesty made you a Marquis, and it's understandable that you refused to accept it. However, I want you to take on important responsibilities, serve the court, and share His Majesty's worries, but you don't obey. Why is that?" Zhuo Chunfeng scolded you. .

"The Grand Governor, I hold a humble position with little talent and little experience. I am afraid that I will betray the trust of the Grand Governor and His Majesty..."

"Luo Qing, I think Zhuo Aiqing did not misjudge the person. Only a person like you who has no desires and needs can objectively investigate every case in the position of this special investigation office. You will not miss a bad person or miss a bad person." Unjustly accusing a bad person!" At this time, Emperor Yongxi spoke and directly confirmed the appointment.
