The strongest self-cultivation evildoer in the city

Chapter 2182 Heavy blow! (First update!)

The method of making salt and the method of refining tools have contributed so much that it is simply beyond imagination!

Anyone who is not a fool can understand that this is definitely not just as simple as being able to directly fill the entire national treasury. The most important thing is to look at the "source" of this large sum of primordial stones.
These primordial stones are not taxes, or even from within the country, but directly from the other three countries. This is equivalent to extracting the power of the other three countries to supplement itself and strengthen the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

For such a great achievement, Jian Yingnan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, went to Yecheng and other barren places, ate soil and gnawed sand in the desert, and stayed for more than a month. The credit is naturally great. Of course, everyone understands that the real The one who deserves the most credit is naturally Xu Le.

As far as the current situation is concerned, no one will have any objection to His Majesty the emperor's determination to make Xu Le a fifth-rank male from the founding county.

Even, if you ask yourself, this award is a little less, so everyone thinks that the reason why His Majesty awarded Xu Le the positions of Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army and Deputy Commander of Jin Yiwei was to compensate Xu Le. After all, at that time, this It's not convenient to do it, the civil and military people in the court know it, so it has to be done quietly,

The best choice to uncover the ins and outs of this matter is to wait until the results have been seen and the other three countries have learned about it.

Some courtiers had already guessed that His Majesty the Emperor might compensate Xu Le again this time, but even so, the crowd never expected that,
His Majesty the Emperor actually granted Xu Le a third rank as the Founding County Marquis!
Do you know what it means to be a county magistrate?From now on, Xu Le will no longer be a "lord", but a serious prince!
In the entire court, how many officials above the third grade are there?Just a handful, but how long has Xu Le been in Bianjing?It's actually... It's a special-damn-directly entering the sequence of the third rank, this is the ranks of the real court officials.

The most important thing is that this is not an official position. An official position cannot inherit the father's business. It is a title!The title can be passed on to descendants, even if it will be downgraded by one level every generation, it is definitely an extremely high title.

With this title, as long as Xu Le does not rebel, it is almost certain that within three generations, Xu Le, who is now just a widow, will have a prosperous family.

The most important thing is that everyone now knows that Xu Le and the eldest princess are inseparable, and at some point, they will suddenly become a serious son-in-law.
A long princess and a third-rank Marquis, the combination of such a combination is too powerful.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty expressed their absolute shock, bewilderment, and doubts about His Majesty's decision!
This title is too big and too high, so high that people look up to it, it is beyond the scope of envy.

What's more, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that early this morning, the chief steward of the third prince Li Zhi's mansion went to the Minister of Rites to sue Xu Le for contempt for the prince. Go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to sue Xu Le for beating Mr. Gao,

But now?Not only did Xu Le not receive even the slightest punishment, on the contrary, he was promoted to a noble again.
The deep meaning of this is very intriguing.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sneak a glance at the third prince Li Zhi who was on the left, wanting to see his expression at this time,
Li Zhi's face was slightly embarrassed, even though he had tried his best to keep calm, but even so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Zhi's expression on his face at this time was extraordinarily...stiff!
In front of His Majesty the Emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he dared not, and could not, congratulate Xu Le, but he couldn't say it anyway. Naturally, he was extremely embarrassed and stiff.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad, the third prince Li Zhi is unwilling to say more, but the seventh prince Li Xiao obviously doesn't have so many scruples.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Li Xiao gave a long laugh first, then got up and walked to the middle of the banquet, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and said: "Congratulations to my father!"

His Majesty the Emperor slowly drank a glass of wine, and asked unhurriedly, "Oh? Where does the joy come from?"

Li Xiao is as good as he is, and said calmly: "It is my fortune to have right-hand men like Master Jian and Master Xu, and my father has always cared so much for my Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he only wants my Eastern Jin Dynasty to prosper. Naturally, my sons and daughters should congratulate my father." !"

What I said, I was really... flattering around the corner!
His Majesty the Emperor raised his glass and laughed loudly, "Congratulations to the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

The ministers greeted each other and raised their glasses, "Congratulations to the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

After drinking a glass,
Li Xiao didn't back down just yet, but after saluting His Majesty the Emperor again, he turned around and said to the eldest princess who had been taciturn with a smile, "Of course, I also want to congratulate Eldest Sister! Father's vision is really good." , Xu Le, the son-in-law chosen for Eldest Sister, is really the best candidate! Perhaps, in the whole world, only a young talent like Xu Le can be worthy of Eldest Sister."

The eldest princess got up, and replied calmly: "Well, seventh brother, if one day, Xu Le and I achieve a positive result, come over and have a few more drinks."

"Eldest sister has a request, how dare Lao Qi disobey? Please!"

After the second glass of wine,

Li Xiao finally turned around, and said to Xu Le and Jian Yingnan who had just been conferred with a smile: "Finally, of course I have to congratulate the two adults! Especially Xu Le, you guy, being promoted to a noble is only the second. But you have to be good enough to my elder sister! It’s better not to go to romantic places like brothels, otherwise let’s not say that elder sister can’t spare you. As a younger brother, I have to talk to you carefully. !Ha ha……"

This is a joke, but the scale is just right, because everyone already knows about Fanglin Garden.

All the officials laughed, and even His Majesty the Emperor snickered a lot. Xu Le and Jian Yingnan toasted at the same time and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the third glass of wine, Li Xiao, who was full of ambition, finally sat back in his seat, but while sitting down, Li Xiao quietly glanced at Li Zhi who was opposite him.

Compared with Li Xiao, who stole the limelight, Li Zhi seemed particularly downcast. Li Xiao took advantage of Xu Le's momentum, before the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, he had infinite elegance,
But what about Li Zhi?Don't forget, he sued Xu Le this morning!Even if you stand up and congratulate at this time, what's the point?
However, even so, Li Zhi still made a gesture to get up. After all, he decided to make a superficial effort to congratulate Xu Le. If Li Zhi doesn't do it, doesn't he seem not generous enough?

However, it is a pity that His Majesty the Emperor obviously did not give him this opportunity, and directly ordered: "How can there be wine without dancing? Come!"

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his golden mouth, countless singers came on stage.

Li Zhi was holding the wine glass, neither standing nor sitting, it was extremely embarrassing!

This scene completely fell into the eyes of all the ministers.

This, for Li Zhi, was another heavy blow!
