Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 247: Bestowed by the Emperor
In the Imperial Palace of Jinling City, Li Chaoen walked into the Imperial Study Room with a slightly shocked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Li Xuan has the latest secret performance."

The emperor immediately put down the brush in his hand and said hurriedly, "Has there finally been any news from Qin Guan? How about it?"

"Your Majesty, Qin Guan broke through the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, Liao Kingdom, and there is a detailed report on it." He said and presented the secret memorial to the emperor.

The emperor was overjoyed, took the battle report and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, he burst out laughing, swept away the gloom of the past few days, and said to Li Chaoen with a ruddy face: "A few days ago, Li Xuan said in the secret report that Qin Guan led troops to attack Zhuozhou City, and I was very surprised. It's only been a few days, I really didn't expect that he actually broke through the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing."

"Also wiped out the four surrounding cities of Huyin, Yongqing, Changping, and Fanshan, killed Yelu Qicai, the general guarding the border of the Liao Kingdom, and wiped out more than [-] Liao troops."

"Qin Guanzhen is a genius who leads the army. Could it be that he was sent by the heavens to assist me? Hahaha, okay, well done."

Li Chaoen said with a smile: "After breaking through the Xijin Mansion, Qin Guan has cleared the way to escape, and he will definitely go to Tanzhou. As long as he passes the Great Wall, there will be a smooth road ahead, and he can go straight to Zhongjing, the Liao Kingdom. You must be anxious, and by then, Yelu Shigenobu and Xiao Chucai will be under more pressure."

The emperor was very happy and said: "Such a great victory, I want to reward him, Chao En, how do you think it should be rewarded."

Li Chaoen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Guan has been awarded repeatedly, and now he is the county magistrate, the second-rank general of Zhenyuan. I think the reward should not be too much, otherwise the people below will not know how to cherish it."

The emperor frowned, "It's not appropriate not to reward such a great victory."

Li Chaoen said: "Your Majesty, if you don't reward Qin Guan, you can reward his family. Qin Guan's father, Qin Zhang, is now a doctor of the fifth-rank household department, his mother, Mrs. Zhang, and his grandmother, Mrs. He. Your majesty can bestow an imperial order."

Upon hearing this, the emperor felt that Li Chaoen's idea was good.

"Qin Guan won a big victory, smashed the Nanjing Xijin Mansion of the Liao Kingdom, and immediately announced the news of the annihilation of [-] Liao troops to the whole country. I want everyone to know that our Great Zhao Kingdom is not without battle-ready soldiers, and we must eliminate the invading enemies. It’s just a matter of time, so as to improve the morale of the soldiers and civilians across the country.”

"Decree to the Ministry of Officials to evaluate Qin Zhang's performance. If he does a good job, he can be promoted as appropriate."

"Add the title of Qin Guan's grandmother He's fifth-rank pleasant, and his mother Zhang's second-rank wife."

You can go to the Ministry of Officials for Qin Zhang's promotion. I believe that the Ministry of Officials knows what to do. As for adding an imperial order, it is just a matter of one sentence. An imperial order is just a kind of honor.

The order can set the official rank of the husband or son. Qin Guan's grandmother set Qin Zhang's side, which can only be granted the fifth rank, but Qin Guan's mother Zhang's can set Qin Guan's side, and can be directly granted the second rank.

Finally, the emperor looked at Li Chaoen, "What do you think of this arrangement."

Li Chaoen said: "Your Majesty has treated Qin Guan so kindly, Qin Guan will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's grace."

The emperor nodded and smiled.

Picking up Li Xuan's secret melody again, he looked at it word by word, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and finally said: "Li Xuan did a good job, he is your man, you can arrange it yourself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jinling City, Ministry of Households.

The servant Liu Chong pushed open the door, looked at Qin Zhang who was still writing, and said with a smile, "Look, Xu Shilang, Yun Shang is really hardworking." You have another treat."

Qin Zhang stood up and said with a smile: "Liu Shilang, Xu Shilang, why do you have time to come to my place? It's easy to treat me, but Liu Shilang must give a reason."

Liu Chong said: "Is promotion a reason?"

Qin Zhang was taken aback, "Who will be promoted?"

"Of course you were promoted." Xu Shilang said.

Qin Zhang thought about it, his face couldn't hide his excitement, and he tried to pretend to be calm and said: "Xu Shilang don't want to tease me, there is still one and a half years left for the three-year official assessment, how can I be promoted."

Liu Chong said enviously: "Who told you to have a good son?"

"In the morning, someone from the Ministry of Officials came, and I entertained them. They came here specifically to obtain your appraisal performance. They said that the official personally ordered it, so they asked you to treat me. Is it because of promotion or something?"

"I also learned from them that Duke Qin led an army of 5 troops into the Liao Kingdom and won a great victory. They broke through the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing and killed more than [-] Liao soldiers. , Yun Shang, it’s just this big victory. In the future, the prestige of Lord Qin County will spread throughout the entire Zhao Kingdom. No, before the [-] Xixia army was wiped out, and now [-] Liao soldiers have been wiped out. The prestige of General Qin It will be spread all over the world.”

Xu Shilang said: "Oh, this achievement is comparable to that of the champion back then."

"Yun Shang, you envy me for waiting, no, I want to treat guests, Yue Yunzhai wants the best food and wine at noon today, we don't feel comfortable without spending hundreds of dollars on you."

Qin Zhang's face was already full of smiles, and he quickly said, "No problem, just Yue Yunzhai, the best food and drink."

In the afternoon, Qin Zhang heard more detailed news from the palace. Not only was he going to be promoted to an official position, but the emperor also bestowed imperial orders on the old lady of the Qin family and Mrs. Qin.

Qin Zhang was a little drunk, but he knew in his heart that he was in the honor of his son.

Hangzhou, Qin family.

The Qin family received a notification from the government that a decree officer came and asked the Qin family to prepare. The old lady He and Mrs. Zhang must be present at that time.

The Qin family did not dare to neglect, and immediately prepared the incense case.

When the Xuanzhi officer came, all the Qin family members knelt down to accept the order. In front was Chen Chang’s formulaic article. Finally, the Xuanzhi officer read out, conferring the five-rank pleasant person of the Qin He family, and the second-rank wife of the Qin Zhang family. The color of surprise.

After the decree was announced, the palace servants presented two sets of imperial wife's clothes, Qin Wei hurriedly invited the decree official to the living room for tea, and secretly stuffed the sleeves of the two with thank you gifts.

The old lady and Mrs. Zhang returned to the backyard with the imperial lady's clothes. The maids hurried forward to help put them on, and turned their heads again. They worked hard for half an hour before they came out.

Wearing imperial clothes, he came to the incense table again, kowtowed respectfully to the imperial decree placed on it, and the whole ceremony was considered to be over.

Not long after, the news that the two wives of the Qin family were appointed by imperial edict spread throughout the city of Hangzhou. I don't know how many wives and women are envious.

After paying homage to the ancestors, Mrs. Zhang helped the old lady back to the room.

The old lady was sitting on the kang, touching the five-grade pleasant clothes on her body, with a smile on her face, and said softly: "I have been content in this life. My son passed the Jinshi exam, and my grandson passed the top prize. The duke of the Great Zhao Kingdom, the second-rank purple-robed official, this is the protection of the ancestors of my Qin family."

Mrs. Zhang added next to her, "There is also Daozu's blessing."

The old lady smiled, "Guan'er said that he was blessed by the Taoist ancestor, and he started to take the exam for the number one scholar, and it went smoothly. Juren, Huiyuan, champion, magistrate, bachelor of Guanwenge, general of Zhenyuan, magistrate of Yong'an County, alas, said Wake up, my grandson might really be attracted by Daozu, otherwise where would such great luck come from?"

"So my daughter-in-law is planning to go to the Taoist temple tomorrow and burn incense to the Taoist ancestor to keep my son safe." Zhang said.

"You should go. The old lady will go with you tomorrow."

"Speaking of which, I am now a fifth-rank officer. When the old man died, he was just a rank-[-] county lieutenant. My current official position is higher than his. I don't know if he will be unhappy when I go down to see him in the future." The old lady said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "My father-in-law is too late to be happy when he sees the prosperity of the Qin family."

After saying this, she looked at the second-rank imperial uniform on her body again, and thought happily, now that she is a second-rank and the master is a fifth-rank, I don't know how the master will feel.

Thinking about it, I still feel quite interesting.

At this time, the Great State of Zhao has announced to the world that Qin Guan has defeated the Liao State, captured the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, the companion capital of the Liao State, and killed [-] Liao State troops.

As soon as the news came out, the people immediately rejoiced and talked about it.
