Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 310 Can Lao Ji still be a good boy?
"Unexpectedly, Qing Yongbo still wrote a letter. Could it be that the sun is rising from the west today?"

In Zhongshu Province, because Zhuge Qinglan asked for leave to practice, Xun Fang, the official minister who temporarily replaced Zhuge Qinglan as prime minister, looked at Ji Ren's memorial with a puzzled expression.

Ji Ren actually wrote a letter.

"Maybe he has some ideas about his title. If that's the case, we should listen to his opinion." Ju Wenqing said with a smile. He is the Minister of Rites, and it is his job to grant Ji Ren's title.

If Ji Ren had his own ideas, it would save him work.

Xun Fang smiled softly and opened Ji Ren's memorial. He thought about the complicated government affairs and relaxed for a moment. But when he glanced at the information on the memorial, his whole face suddenly darkened and he threw the memorial away bitterly. At the table, the black face scolded: "Nonsense!"

"What's wrong? Young people have their own ideas and it's normal to have a little mischief." Xun Ling, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with a smile.

"He wants to refuse the reward from the Duke." Xun Fang said.

"What?" Everyone in Zhongshu Province looked shocked.

"Does he have any demands? Not being rewarded for meritorious service will chill the hearts of all the soldiers in the world, especially since his meritorious service is the first among all the generals this time. If he is not rewarded, then all civil and military officials will not be eligible to be awarded the title this time." Wen Qing said.

"What?" Fa Chang glanced at Chen Lishen indifferently, and an even more vast and majestic spiritual power surged, suppressing Chen Lishen's spiritual power in an understatement.

As the old minister of the Ministry of Justice, his cultivation level is higher than that of Chen Lishen, the new minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs who was temporarily promoted because of Lu Xianzhao's crime.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for Chen Lishen to let Ji Ren be dismissed from office and seize the title. But if Ji Ren wants Chen Lishen to be dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner, it is very possible.

A minister's minister is not a minister.

What's more, for this trip to Xiliang, although Da Qi had many preparations, Emperor Qi really almost died. If Ji Ren hadn't had this accident and Emperor Qi had died, then he would really have to live in prison. Went there.

"Zhongde, what is being discussed here is not an argument, let alone slander, which would damage the friendship between colleagues." Xun Fang also glanced at Fachang.

From then on, it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that Qin Liangyu was granted the title of Marquis as a woman, and the rest could only be granted imperial titles.

After all, most people want to lose face.

"He is asking for credit for Qiao Qingyin. He said that Qiao Qingyin was his Beishan Guards officer. He killed the enemy with him, guarded the king, and saved the king. He should be made a marquis, but now he has no reward, and he has been rewarded for it. He felt ashamed to be granted the title of Duke, so he refused to accept the title and pointed out the lack of military merit rewards from the imperial court.

When Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi came to the throne, he wanted to posthumously grant titles to his grandfather and grandmother, but Chen Qun, the minister of state, objected.

"What?" Everyone changed their colors again.

What Fachang said just now was a bit excessive and directly slandered the ancestors.

"This matter is a matter of the Ministry of Rites. What does it have to do with your Ministry of War? You are talking wildly here. Also, in the Han Dynasty, women were granted the title of marquis. It is said that the Wei Dynasty violated the ancient law, so the Jin Dynasty replaced it. That's not right either. This was said by your ancestor Chen Qun when he was admonishing Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi. However, it was Chen Qun's son who persuaded Cao Shuang and helped Sima Yi launch the Gaopingling Revolution. Your ancestor Chen Tai could not be said to have been yours. Conspiracy to destroy Wei State." Fachang sneered when he heard this.

"Uncle Qing Yong is a meritorious minister. Xiliang shot and killed the King of Heaven twice, killed the traitor Li Xu who had brought trouble to the world for many years, and saved His Majesty in times of crisis. He has made outstanding achievements. If you want to remove him from office and seize the title, how will the world view him? Your Majesty? What do the officers and men think?" After calming down the two men, Xun Fang calmed down slightly and looked at Chen Lishen.

There is no precedent in Daqi.

The son's ministers can only be regarded as half ministers at best.

No matter in terms of qualifications or abilities, they cannot compare with Xun Fang.

Even the King of Wei may not necessarily protect Chen Lishen. After all, although Chen Lishen is from the Wei King's faction, strictly speaking, Chen Lishen is not supporting the King of Wei, but the Crown Prince of Wei who has gathered the power of Cao Pi.

At this moment, Emperor Qi was a little upset.

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and Heavenly Officials are no joke.

"Okay, give it to your Majesty. Only your Majesty can rule on this matter." Xun Fang said, government affairs are complicated, and general government affairs will be solved by the prime minister, but things like Ji Ren are obviously not something they can solve. Yes, so Xun Fang decisively decided to let the superiors worry.

Moreover, Chen Lishen is also a serious Confucian disciple. In his opinion, this is illegal and should be rejected.

Fa Chang's anger will be repaid, but kindness will also be repaid.

Although the Chen family helped a lot when the Sima family usurped the throne, and the Chen family can be said to be the core members of the Sima family, when they first persuaded Cao Shuang, the Chen family suppressed the clan out of the common interests of the family. It is a basic operation. Who would have thought that the Sima family has no lower limit, treating the Luo Shui oath as fart, and killing Cao Shuang's family with a backhand.

Later, because the Sima family shamelessly killed the king in the street, Chen Tai also died of grief and anger.

"Fa Chang!"

The prime minister was away, and he came to preside over the affairs of the court. No one in the court had any objections, which is evident.

After hearing this, Chen Lishen's face turned green and red with anger, and his body was filled with majestic spiritual power.

"But this matter violates etiquette and law, how can we condone it? It should be dismissed and reprimanded." Chen Lishen said.

He is a member of the King of Han's party, but now the King of Han is thinking about Ji Ren day and night, and he naturally doesn't mind if he can help Ji Ren.

Is this going against heaven?
"Nonsense, according to the classics, there is no system for women to be assigned earthly titles. In rituals, women are assigned titles based on their husbands. The Qin Dynasty violated ancient laws, and the Han family followed suit. Since Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, women have never been assigned titles. This is the established system. Ji Ren is an ignorant child who reverses the etiquette of the saints, messes with the ethical principles, and undermines the unity of the world. He should be dismissed from his title, dismissed from his position, demoted to a commoner, and thrown into prison to serve as a warning to others." Shangshu Chen Lishen scolded sharply, his elegant face full of murderous intent.

Only then did Fachang and Chen Lishen cease their activities.

To be precise, if it weren't for Lu Xianzhao's crime, Chen Lishen would have had to wait for another twenty years if he wanted to take up this position.

Therefore, it is normal for Chen Lishen to protect himself. After all, this is what his ancestors did.

Please give Qiao Qingyin the title of Marquis?

"That's enough, what do you think this place is?" Xun Fang couldn't help but yell, and an even more majestic pressure flowed, suppressing both Fachang and Chen Lishen.

"It has nothing to do with your Ministry of War, why are you in such a hurry?" Fachang mocked from the side.

"This is a decision that His Majesty can only make. It is not yours or mine to decide." Xun Fang said. Chen Lishen had not experienced the trip to Xiliang and did not know Ji Ren's status in Emperor Qi's heart now. Xun Fang knew that Emperor Qi was in front of him. In front of me, I have said several times that in the future, Ji Ren will be the one who will prosper and suppress the Qi Dynasty.

"Yes." Fachang despised Chen Lishen, but did not dare to challenge Xun Fang.

"What's the request? If it's not too much, just satisfy it." Fachang, the Minister of Punishment, said with a smile.

"It is not the way of a minister to threaten with merit." Chen Lishen, the new Minister of War, scolded him with a cold face.

He was originally very happy. After all, Da Qi finally gave birth to another extraordinary person. Three extraordinary people in one country have already caught up with the Ming Dynasty.

The news that his Prime Minister Zhuge Qinglan was about to break through the extraordinary world made Emperor Qi even more excited.

To be honest, for Emperor Qi, Zhuge Qinglan made him feel more at ease than his extraordinary ancestor.

For the first time, Zhuge Qinglan was granted leave, and he even gave himself a leave to work hard to give birth to a younger brother for Zhang Jingshou in the palace of Concubine Xian. Afterwards, it was commonplace to gossip, and then something bad happened.

A certain guy really regarded Qingyongbo Mansion as his own home.

Day and night without returning home.

Emperor Qi was angry and thought about the recent impeachment of the imperial censor every day. He was really worried, so he pulled Zhang Jingshou over and scolded: "You are a man who went out to build a palace and build teeth under the age of 10, and now he is not home day and night. Zhang Jingshou, Zhang Jingshou, you are the one?" Thinking of God!"

"Hey, father, how do you know? My little goal now is to break through the earth and fly to the sky." Zhang Jingshou, who has been accustomed to being trained, knelt down consciously as soon as he came, consciously admitted his mistake, and thought about getting through, until he heard After Qi Emperor's words, he raised his head in surprise.

My confused old father actually knows about my little goal?
"You dare to talk back, you traitor." Emperor Qi looked at Zhang Jingshou's stunned face and scolded him again, "Is that what I meant?"

"Father, I'm just talking about things, why are you talking back? Only those who have the courage to accept advice are a wise king, otherwise, they are a coward." Zhang Jingshou said with wide eyes.

"Okay, Zhang Jingshou, you have really grown up. Now I will teach you that you are a coward. Okay, today I will let you know what it means to be a tyrant." Listening to Zhang Jingshou's words, Emperor Qi laughed angrily and held the spirit in his hand. With a surge of strength, Zhang Jingshou was easily hung from the beam.

Originally, he just wanted to call him over and scold him for a few words, but if he didn't give him a beating today, he felt that this matter would be impossible to handle.

"Father, father, that's not what I meant? And father, you are the wise king in my heart. Yao, Shun, and Yu cannot be compared with my father." Zhang Jingshou, who finally realized that something was wrong with the situation, said quickly.

My father took the wrong medicine today. Didn’t he always claim to be a sage in the past?

Just talk, why are you suddenly so violent today?
"No, today, I am a tyrant." As Emperor Qi spoke, the spiritual power in his hand surged into a whip, and then he whipped Zhang Jingshou's butt mercilessly.

Zhang Jingshou immediately made a pig noise and said: "Father, please be gentle."

"Easy? I'm a fool, I can't hear you." Emperor Qi sent him another whip without mercy.

"No, my father is a wise king. My father is the most sage and wise king in the world." Zhang Jingshou shouted quickly.

"No, I am a tyrant." Emperor Qi's voice was calm, and he kept whipping the spiritual whip in his hand.

"No, my father is a wise king, a truly wise king!"

Zhang Jingshou shouted with all his strength.

Emperor Qi refused to listen, and after a few more whips, he said: "Is it true? I am a wise king? Don't force it, I don't like force, otherwise you will really become what someone calls a faint king."

"No, no, no, my father is a wise king, the most wise king in history." Zhang Jingshou said hurriedly.

"Then you are still staying at Qing Yongbo's Mansion tonight?" Emperor Qi looked at Zhang Jingshou and said slowly.

"No, I'll be back in the evening." Zhang Jingshou said.

"Really? Don't force it, right?" Emperor Qi said.

"Don't force me. I miss my father every day outside the palace. I miss him so much that I almost go crazy. Now I finally have the chance to come back." Zhang Jingshou said without hesitation. If he hesitated for a second, he would be the whip in Qi Emperor's hand. of disrespect.

"That's it, Shou'er, I was a little too impatient just now, does it hurt?" After hearing this, Emperor Qi showed another smile, dispersed his spiritual power, removed the whip, put down Zhang Jingshou again, and asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt." Zhang Jingshou gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't hurt. It really doesn't hurt at all."

Dog Emperor, just wait for me. One day, I will be as powerful as Lao Ji and let you know what it means to be strong and change.

"Okay, Shou'er, you also hope that your father will always be a wise king." Emperor Qi looked at Zhang Jingshou and said, don't let your father become a tyrant, your father doesn't want to.

"Yes." Zhang Jingshou said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Zhang Jingshou's rare well-behaved appearance, Emperor Qi said with a satisfied expression: "Shou'er, my father is doing these things for your own good. After the New Year, you will be an adult and you will no longer be a child." You must learn to grow up and know what the rules are.”

"Yes, I will teach you." Zhang Jingshou lowered his head and agreed, secretly thinking in his heart, what are the rules? Isn’t that just for breaking?

I'll tolerate you for now.

"Dear gentleman, Yuan Xiaoren. In the past, I was always messing around and making friends. Now I am reluctant to understand some things. After getting to know Boyi, I will get along well with Boyi in the future and learn from his strengths. As the saying goes, those who are close to the best will be red. "Stay away from the bad friends you had before." Emperor Qi warned that as an emperor, he would never admit his negligence in education, but he could not deny that this son was indeed different, so the problem was not his. , it must be on Zhang Jingshou’s friends.

"Father, that's enough for you. You can just talk about me. Why should I talk about my friends? Those are my brothers who can break into Prince Wu's Mansion with me!" Zhang Jingshou couldn't help but retort after hearing this. road.

Just say me, what do you mean by my friends?
Although Lao Ji is very good, my former friends are not bad either.

You are sowing discord, traitor!

"Are you proud of breaking into Prince Wu's Mansion?" Emperor Qi looked at Zhang Jingshou and narrowed his eyes, wondering whether he should hang him up again. He would be an adult after the Chinese New Year. Although he would still be a child by then, he should not be treated as an ordinary child. , we can no longer do anything at will.

After all, the child is getting older and needs to be embarrassed.

But I'm not an adult yet.

"No." Zhang Jingshou quickly forced out another cute smile.

Really do not have.

I have no pride.

Although I often brag about this matter, believe me, I am not proud!
Emperor Qi sneered and was about to say something when someone suddenly reported Ji Ren's memorial.

Emperor Qi frowned and said with a puzzled look: "This boy, if you have something to do, you don't go directly to the palace to tell me, and you don't directly report to me. You have to go through Zhongshu Province. What are you doing?"

Generally, court officials have to submit memorials to court officials, so some memorials may not reach the emperor's hands.

But he is obviously not an ordinary person. He can report it directly to Emperor Qi.

"Old Ji, what's so fun about this?" Zhang Jingshou suddenly showed curiosity when he heard this.

"What's so fun? Do you think Boyi is you? You spend all your time fooling around, learn from Boyi. If you are even half as good as him, your mother, concubine, and I don't have to worry anymore." Emperor Qi scolded, and then Opening the memorial, the expression on his face suddenly solidified.

Zhang Jingshou on the side looked curious, and regardless of the rules or irregularities, he went over to peek at Ji Ren's memorial openly. After reading the contents, he straightened his back and his eyes shone. Let me tell you, this is me. Brother.

Listening to my father's nonsense every day, I no longer have confidence. Lao Ji is obviously similar to me, so why has he become someone else's child and a role model for me to learn from?
It wasn't until he saw this memorial that Zhang Jingshou felt normal, well-behaved and peaceful. Could he still be my Zhang Jingshou's brother in life and death?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingshou's butt no longer hurt. He looked at Emperor Qi with a smile and said: "Father, I will learn from Lao Ji and write a memorial for you tomorrow. I also think Qiao Qingyin should be made a marquis. ! I, Prince Ming, Zhang Jingshou, take the lead in supporting this.”

Emperor Qi's face turned even darker, and he turned his head stiffly, revealing a murderous look.
