The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 135
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so efficient that he shocked all the officials.

The title of a marquis is a major event, and at the very least it requires the ministers of the great dynasty to discuss it together, leaving the post-ceremony officials to discuss specific matters such as title and land.

But for Weining to be granted the title of Marquis, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty explained everything in detail, and he seemed to be particularly impatient.

Although the grace of this paper made Wei Ning qualified for this, the various behaviors of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were indeed a bit abnormal, which was strange.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally granted Weining the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, which belongs to the No. 19 level of Guannei Marquis among the twenty-level nobles of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted Luyang Township and Linjunju to Weining, making them the Zhenbei Hou Kingdom.

After the reward for Weining was completed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Lu Chongguo from Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion, and immediately handed him the secret recipe for making bamboo paper, and asked Zongzheng Mansion to start expediting the production of paper and hand it over to the Prime Minister's Mansion for promotion throughout the country.

This is a technological innovation, a small step for culture, and a giant step for social progress!

……

The news that Weining was granted the title of Marquis spread quickly throughout the government and the public, and the officials had different reactions.

Guan Qiang had always been on good terms with Li Guang. They were both from powerful families. After Weining was granted the title of Marquis, Guan Qiang immediately found Li Guang and fought for Li Guang's injustice.

Li Guang's mansion.

Li Gan said angrily: "Why?"

"Dad has won so many battles in his life and made great contributions to the great man, but in the end he still didn't get a title."

"Then a young boy just invented a gadget, why should he be granted the title of Marquis?"

They were all from martial arts families, and from the bottom of their hearts they looked down on the rising nobles like Wei Ning.

The accumulation of hard work of several generations has achieved their current social status, allowing them to have certain social resources and connections.

How could a young boy of more than ten years be able to be on an equal footing with them, or even be more noble than them?

Even though Li Guang was not good at words, he still held back his anger and believed that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was really unfair to him.

In this case, how many people will see Li Guang's jokes behind his back?

His good friend Guan Qiang defended him in person. What would others think and say in private?
"To shut up!"

Li Guang felt aggrieved in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He reprimanded his son Li Gan and said: "Rain, dew and thunder show your kindness. Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Gan remained silent.

Guan Qiang sighed and said to Li Guang, "Brother Li...hey!"

He didn't know what to say and felt sorry for Li Guang.

Li Guang saw it in his eyes and didn't say much. He just said to Guan Qiang: "Spring has come, everything is resurrected, let's go hunting."

"it is good!"

At night, Li Guang and Guan Qiang were slightly drunk and passed by Ba Ling Pavilion. Ba Lingwei stopped Li Guang from entering the city because it was dark.

Guan Qiang went to negotiate and revealed Li Guang's identity.

Lieutenant Ba Ling sneered: "Marquis can't live with this, let alone those who haven't been ennobled?"

In the darkness, Li Guang clenched his fists and his face twitched violently!
……

Huo Qubing organized a large banquet for Weining in Chang'an and invited many people, all of whom were welcome.

"Xiao Ning, let's go and be impressive."

Wei Ning knew that Huo Qubing had good intentions and wanted to show his face to more powerful people in Chang'an.

Interpersonal relationships and social status are all built up bit by bit.

Wei Ning didn't really want to attend these scenes, but Huo Qubing was kind-hearted, so he didn't say anything.

The banquet was held at Huo Qubing's Champion Marquis Mansion. Many people came today, all intending to make friends with the new Marquis Weining.Dong Zhongshu came over to greet Wei Ning with a smile on his face, cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Marquis Wei."

Wei Ning knew Dong Zhongshu, so he politely responded to Dong Zhongshu: "Master Dong, you have offended me."

Dong Zhongshu smiled and introduced Dongfang Shuo, Shi Qing, and Zhu Fuyan to Weining.

These are all good ministers who govern the country, and they hold an important position in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhongshu's move was also to help Weining expand his network of contacts. Weining naturally knew Dong Zhongshu's intentions, and after greeting each other one by one, he thanked Dong Zhongshu privately.

Dong Zhongshu smiled slightly and said: "Master Wei Hou, please stop being so polite. I didn't do anything."

A doctor's visitor congratulated Weining. Wei Ning didn't know him. There were too many officials here today, and Wei Ning didn't have time to make friends with them one by one. He just nodded politely.

The lieutenant in the palace is the official who is close to the emperor. The chief officer is the order of the lieutenant. The lieutenant in the palace is the sixth rank. Although the official position is small, the position is not low. He is in charge of preparing advisors for the emperor to deal with, advising the emperor on the pros and cons, offering sacrifices in the suburbs, and paying homage to the princes and princes. Policy book.

"Marquis Wei is so young and has such an honor, but Li Guang has been pursuing it all his life. I wonder why Marquis Wei thinks Li Guang can't be made a marquis?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Huo Qubing was a little unhappy. This man was just making trouble!
Wei Ning and Li Guang had no conflict at first, but now he asked in front of Weining that Li Guang had not been made a marquis, what do you think of this matter.

How should Weining answer this?

If you don't answer well, you will definitely offend Li Guang.

It is wrong to belittle Li Guang or to exalt Li Guang. Both will offend Li Guang. Let's not talk about belittling. To exalt Li Guang's achievements, then why was Li Guang not made a marquis and you were made a marquis?
Was it that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was short-sighted, or was your meritorious service simply unfair?

This doctor’s visitor clearly didn’t have good intentions.

Naturally, he didn't have good intentions, because he was Chen Xi's person.

Old foxes like Dong Zhongshu and Master Fu Yan didn't speak, they were all waiting for Wei Ning's answer.

Everyone is watching. Whether Weining can take this step is very important.

Whether it can be recognized by many officials depends on how Weining answers this time.

Everyone wants to know how much ink this newly-minted nobleman from a humble family has in his belly and whether he can cope with these things.

Whether it is real material or parallel import, you will know everything by looking at his answer. How to get along with Weining in the future will also depend on this answer.

This tests a person's speaking ability and emotional intelligence.

Wei Ning glanced at the other party and said calmly: "When the country is in the war, how can the people live in Qiaosu? If you don't say anything about the matter of making a marquis, one general will make thousands of bones dry."

This poem was so famous in later generations that Wei Ning had naturally heard of it.

With large swaths of the country in flames of war, how can people live a stable and happy life?

Please don’t mention the title of Marquis again. I don’t know how many soldiers’ blood is behind this honor!

He spoke very slowly, word for word, and his words were clear and precise.

After Wei Ning finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

Dong Zhongshu glanced in disbelief first, and then looked sideways at Master Fu Yan. Master Fu Yan's eyes were filled with admiration. He looked at Dong Zhongshu and said, "How would you answer, sir?"

Dong Zhongshu smiled and said firmly: "No matter how you answer, I am definitely not as good as him!"

"Our Zhenbei Hou is not simple!"

"Based on Jun Mo's words to seal the Marquis, one general will succeed!"

Dong Zhongshu murmured in his mouth, his eyes gradually brightened, and said: "It's so nice to reply, so nice! He is impeccable and his literary quality is so high that even I have to look up to him!"
