Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Xun Chen.

"This This is Did we hear that right? All? All men are knighted? "

"This Not likely... "

Xun Chen said with a smile: "the son of heaven is so eloquent that there is no falsehood? Since we have made our promises on that day, we should carry them out one by one. How can we deceive them? "

When he said this, all the people burst into endless cheers.

"I got it, I got the title! My father, ancestors and descendants have won honor for the Zhang family of Mount Tai! "

"Ha ha, that's great, great. I didn't expect that I'm also a person with a title. When it comes to the truth, ha ha ha..."

"It's worth it, it's all worth it..."

However, after a brief carnival, someone immediately thought of a problem.

"Ah? Just now, it seems that the governor didn't open his mouth. The words behind it were... "

"Yes, and how can we have dinner? Who are the top ten people in the list of meritorious deeds? I don't seem to hear you

"Yes, who did I wait for ten people to have dinner with just now?"

At the time when people questioned, another figure came out slowly from behind.

"With me."

As soon as he said this, Xun Chen and the branch manager immediately knelt down and saluted him.

"Minister, grass-roots people, come to see your majesty!"

All merchants and craftsmen were in a daze.

"Bi Your majesty? "

"This is the son of heaven today. Are you still kneeling?" Xun Chen yelled

"Yes, yes, yes, your majesty, your majesty!"

He Chang and Chen Qing recognize Liu He and kneel down in a hurry.

The others were so surprised that they knelt down.

"Grass people and others come to see my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Many people trembled nervously as they knelt on the ground.

Liu He laughs: "you are all meritorious officials of my great Han Dynasty, please rise quickly."

These people are about to get up, but some of them just feel their legs are weak and can't stand at all.

Some people secretly pinched themselves, as if wondering if they were in a dream.

Liu He looked at their various reactions and joked, "why, are you dissatisfied with this reward?"

"No, no, no! Your Majesty's kindness is so great that the grassroots are simply It's just It's just overjoyed. It's hard to repay. It's hard to repay No, no, it's hard to report in case, in case... "

Liu He smiles: "ha ha, you are concerned about the imperial court. I should thank you. Well, let's not talk about it. It's too late now. Both dinner parties are ready. If you don't give up, please join us separately. How about it? "

Most of the people who want to go to the county government are OK. However, the top ten people, such as he Chang, are standing in the same place and don't know whether to move or not.

Xun Chen drank in a low voice: "it's a great honor for your majesty to invite you to dinner together. How can you ask your majesty to invite you twice?"

"Ah? Ah Yes, yes, let's go. Grassroots will go now... "

The ten men lowered their heads, supported each other, and moved forward under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

"What a disgrace, a disgrace, a disgrace, a disgrace!"

Luoyang City, outside the palace, many courtiers gathered here, the vast majority of people's faces, are filled with righteous indignation.

This is the first court meeting since the beginning of the new year, but the atmosphere of the courtiers at the gate of the palace is obviously not very good.

"Your Majesty's action is simply ignoring the ancestral laws and regulations. It's really outrageous. Only a few pariah merchants and craftsmen can make a little use of it. After the success, he may use several of them to finish the job, but his majesty has granted all these 400 people titles. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous! "

"It is true that this is against the principles and laws and ethics of our ancestors. We will definitely swear to death and admonish you, and we will never make your majesty do such stupid things!"

"It's just a matter of conferring on the marquis. Your majesty, the son of heaven, should be eating at the same table with these pariah people, is it not self degradation?"

Yang Biao and Wang Yun stood aside, half closed their eyes and kept silent. But Cui lie, Lu Zhi and a few others were not happy with the comments of these ministers.

As for Qian Li, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, er Xun and Cui Jun, who had recently arrived in the capital, they were even more indignant. If Cui lie and others had not stopped them, they would have rushed to the capital for a theory.

"The court meeting begins, all the ministers go to the hall!"

After Gong saner called out, the ministers quickly took off their boots and walked quickly into the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

Jing Zhao Yin Du Ji could not wait to stand up.

Liu he glanced at him and had expected: "what's the matter with Aiqing?"

Du Ji said solemnly, "I heard that your majesty went to Yunhai county a few days ago, and bestowed the more than 400 merchants and craftsmen involved in the construction of Yunhai county one by one, and also had a dinner with them. I think this matter is greatly inappropriate."Liu he said in a very bland tone: "when he called on the craftsmen from all over the world to come to help, he had already made it clear. How inappropriate is it for the court to fulfill its promise today? Does Aiqing think that I am a man who does not believe his word? "

In the past, most of the courtiers would kneel down to plead guilty, but at this time. Du Ji, however, was surprised to see that he was still firm.

"Your Majesty's words are true, but there is no mention in the imperial edict that all people will be granted knights. More than 400 titles will be granted to all of them. Even when the emperor Gaozu created the Han Dynasty, he rewarded meritorious officials on a large scale. Is it not against the ancestral system that your majesty only serves as a few businessmen and craftsmen?"

"What's more, his Majesty's body of ten thousand gold has condescended to lower the nobility and eat with these inferior people. It's too disrespectful for me to think it's very inappropriate."

Liu He indifferent way: "that Ai Qing thinks, should how?"

"In my humble opinion, I only need to select five to ten people and give them the Marquis of the pavilion. It is enough for the rest of us to give them a little reward to comfort them. "

"I think the words of Jing Zhaoyin are very reasonable."

Another person came out, but Liu he saw that it was Feng Fang, the great Secretary of the dynasty, who was also the contemporary owner of the Feng family in Xiling of Jingzhou. In the original history, he was one of the eight western garden captains of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, along with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"Your Majesty's action is benevolent, virtuous and loving to the people. I should have agreed with you. However, the ancestral system must not be violated, and the rules and regulations should not be disordered. Business travelers are good at digging into the business road. They are good at making small profits without breaking the means. They are really people without benevolence, righteousness and shame. As for craftsmen, how can they be elegant? How is it worth your Majesty's reward? "

"I agree with that." Liu He took a look at the third one. Like Feng Fang, he was also one of the eight captains of Xiyuan in the original history, named Zhao Rong. Now he is a doctor of Guanglu, one of the nine ministers.

"Businessmen are those who pursue petty gains. If your majesty gives them such generous kindness, they will surely gain more and more greedy, which will certainly bring disaster to the world. Therefore, I dare to ask your majesty to take it back! "

"Please accept your Majesty's order!"

Many ministers came forward at the same time, shouting in unison.

Liu He raised his eyelids and looked at Yang Biao: "what's your opinion?"

Seeing that he was named, Yang Biao stepped out in two steps: "the old minister is old and confused. This matter is so important. The connection is so complicated that I can't think it through for a while. Therefore, I can't give advice to your majesty. Please forgive me."

In Liu He's eyes, there was a flash of light, but he soon showed a smile.

"Taiwei worked hard and made great achievements in the imperial court. It must be because he was so tired that he became ill. When he went back, he could ask Dr. Hua to diagnose and treat him. I can't be short of Taiwei."

"Cough..." Yang Biao coughed a few times and bowed down to thank him: "thank you for your concern. After you are in good health, you will certainly serve your majesty again."

Several ministers were surprised to see that Yang Biao had come to shake hands directly.

Cui lie was just about to come out, but Wang Yun took the lead.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that, although the words of the ministers are reasonable, your majesty should not listen to them."

"Oh?" Liu He looked at Wang Yun with interest.

"Wang Yuncheng's house is very deep, and he never likes to rush to the front as a bird. How can the sun come out in the West today?"

Although Liu He has some doubts in his heart, since he is willing to speak for himself, it is naturally the best.

"Si Tu has a high opinion, but it's OK to say so. I would like to make a speech here. Today, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you will not be guilty. You can speak freely. "
