Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 67
"Your brother can come back safely, this Qin Feng can be regarded as a help, shouldn't it be rewarded?"

The emperor asked in a deep voice.

The emperor's family has no brothers.

The emperor naturally understood this truth from personal experience. In order to ascend to the throne, their brothers fought against each other. Of the seven sons born to his father, only four survived to adulthood.

Among these four, one was made a prince far away, one died in battle, and one was sentenced to death for the crime of treason.

Now that he was able to sit on the throne, he relied on luck on the one hand, and some tricks on the other.

But when he became the emperor himself, he didn't want his sons to be like him, so he always strictly prohibited the princes from making friends with friends, hoping that the princes could live in harmony and be brothers.

This effect... is naturally not very good.

Otherwise, the little prince would not have disappeared for no reason.

Now that the little prince is back, he doesn't show it on the face but he is happy in his heart, and he is willing to give this Qin Feng a little reward.

At this juncture, how could the emperor be satisfied if the eldest prince stood up and said something was wrong?

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince replied: "Naturally, I should be rewarded. Although my brother can come back, although Qin Feng did it unintentionally, it is also a great achievement."

"Especially after he picked up this younger brother, he knew how to post notices looking for his family members, and at the same time he knew how to manipulate the portrait so as not to fully reveal his younger brother's face, and left key information behind. At the same time, we have to ask repeatedly to make sure Mr. Zhao is not a fake leader."

"Few ministers in Beijing can match this level of thoughtfulness! Qin Feng must be a capable person, just as Mr. Zhao said, he is a great talent!"

"Furthermore, the emperor's younger brother disappeared. At a big scale, it is about the face of the court. At a lower level, it is about the feelings of the emperor father. If there is no Qin Feng, the emperor's brother may still be suffering in the bandit camp at this time. Qin Feng put him Being rescued, it can be said to be kind to the court and the royal family!"

"My son thought that not only rewards, but also heavy rewards!"

"Duchayuan is responsible for everything. He is only a sixth-rank official. Compared with the magistrate, he has only been promoted by one rank and two ranks. This reward is too light. With Qin Feng's ability and the importance of this matter to the royal family, at least, You should also be promoted to the third rank!"

"Qin Feng is a local official. He must have a lot of experience in governing the local area. He should not be dragged into the capital as an official. He should be kept in the local area and continue to display his talents!"

After the emperor heard it, he realized that he had misunderstood the eldest prince.

The child didn't obstruct him from rewarding this "benefactor", but thought the reward was too light.

The emperor couldn't help showing a gratified smile: "The emperor is right, so in your opinion, what kind of official should I reward him for?"

"My son thinks that at least a fourth-rank magistrate must be appointed!"

The emperor frowned, a little embarrassed: "But now there seems to be no vacancy for the position of magistrate in various places..."

"Zhao Aiqing, as the governor of a province, do you know where the prefect is not worthy of virtue?"

The emperor asked suddenly, apparently wanting to dismiss other people's officials.

Although Zhao Youren felt that Qin Feng deserved a reward, it was too inappropriate to dismiss someone else's official position in order to confer him.

And he can't say which prefect in Guangxi is not good.

The prefect under him is not good. Doesn't it seem that he, the governor, has no leadership?

His brow was sweating, he thought about it carefully, and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, as far as I know, the prefects of all states in Guangxi are very responsible..."

"Tsk."

The emperor slapped his lips, expressing his pity, since no one has any faults, then this official cannot be dismissed.

But in this way, there is no vacancy, so what kind of official should Qin Feng be named?

other provinces?
I have to call another governor for questioning, which is troublesome.

Other officials?Up to and down the fourth rank, it seems that there is no other position that is a local official, which can make Qin Feng shine.

Previously, he was appointed as the chief inspector, because the one who was inspected by the inspector happened to retire and returned home two days ago, so there is no vacancy for Qin Feng's reward, but how can he do it?
Seeing that the emperor was in trouble, the eldest prince also had a tangled look on his face. After hesitating for a while, he suggested, "Father, since there are no vacancies, it's not easy to award rewards at that time. It's better to record Qin Feng's achievements first. In the future If there is a vacancy, it will not be too late to promote him."

"Well... that's all, you write an imperial edict for me and give that official Qin Feng two ranks, but in terms of his position, let him keep it as it is and be his county magistrate in Ninghai County."

The emperor was annoyed, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the eldest prince an order.

The eldest prince frowned, with a hint of displeasure flashing across his mouth, he said with a sneer, "Father, if you are promoted to two ranks, then you will be a fifth-rank official. In a magistrate of a county, how can there be an official of the fifth rank..."

"What else can I do? It's settled like this. There is no vacancy for the seat of the prefect. If it's really not possible, I will reward him with some silver. The amount is up to you!"

"I'm tired, let's all go."

The emperor got up and went to the dragon couch in the study, turned his back on the eldest prince and Mr. Zhao, and stopped talking.

"My humble minister, Zhao Youren, resign..."

The emperor was already asleep, and Zhao Youren didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so he saluted, gave the eldest prince a strange look, left without saying a word.

As for the eldest prince, he glanced at the emperor on the dragon couch, his face was covered with a gloomy color, he gritted his teeth, beckoned people to bring pens and paper, and drew up the imperial decree according to the decree.

……

On Qin Feng's side, a few days of peace have passed.

Suddenly on this day, a group of people came to Ninghai County and entered the county government office. The eunuch in charge led an imperial edict.

Qin Feng and others immediately came out to greet them, and knelt down neatly on the ground.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor ordered the moon, and Qin Feng, the county magistrate of Ninghai County, is an upright official with outstanding achievements. He wiped out the mountain bandits and benefited the people of one side. Give Qin Feng a thousand taels of silver, and upgrade Qin Feng's officials to two ranks. Appreciate it!"

After listening to Qin Feng, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. How come there are only two official promotions, but no detailed position changes?Shouldn't these be written in the imperial decree?
In a daze, the eunuch who passed the decree coughed: "Qin Zhi County, why don't you quickly accept your reward and thank you?"

"Ah, humble minister Qin Feng, thank you for your grace!"

Qin Feng quickly bowed and accepted the imperial edict.

"Okay, get up."

The eunuch twitched his orchid finger, smiled slightly at Qin Feng, and said, "Master Qin, Mr. Zhao, the governor of Guangxi, praised you for your meritorious service. I begged the emperor to give you a promotion. The emperor agreed, but there are no vacancies in various positions right now, so I only promoted you." changed your rank, but did not change your position."

"I hope Lord Qin will continue to be a good parent officer in Ninghai County. If there is a vacancy in the future, the emperor will definitely not forget you. This is what the emperor meant. The eldest prince specially told the Sa family to listen to you, you can understand gone?"
