The next day, Li Quan arrived at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony early to wait for the emperor's call. He hadn't worn an official uniform for a long time, and he felt awkward walking today, and he seemed a little uncomfortable seeing the grandeur of the palace.

"Li Quan, the 'servant' of the Xuanhu Department, goes to the palace!"

"The Minister of Xuanhu Department, Li Quan, is in the palace..."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after a series of calls, Li Quan bowed his body, put his hands on his knees, and entered the palace with small steps.

Li Quan lowered his head all the way, not knowing how many officials there were in the hall, nor how big the palace was. He only knew that the ground was a red carpet extending outside the palace, and under the red carpet was polished marble.

The hall is extremely spacious, and Li Quan trotted all the way with small steps until he saw the steps leading to the dragon chair. He stopped and bowed and bowed:

"My lord, kowtow to the emperor."

"Life."

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Quan stood up straight and met the emperor's gaze.

The emperor is still the same, but today he has a proper dragon robe on his body, and he looks much more energetic.

"Li Quan has already returned. What should you do after seeing the matter?"

The emperor's situation was calm, but all the officials in the palace discussed nervously. The discussion seemed to be very heated, but in the end no one came out to make a clear statement.

Li Quan couldn't understand the movement in the court hall for a while, and when he was wondering, Prime Minister Gu Mo suddenly came out and said:

"Your Majesty, I think it is a felony for Mr. Li Quan to kill the number one scholar in the street, but it is a great achievement for Mr. Li to lead the officers and soldiers to fight against bandits in Huaihai County. Moreover, this merit is far better than his crime. We should reward you!"

"No!" An unknown old man hurriedly came out, "Your Majesty, although Master Li and his party in Huaihai County have made meritorious service, they committed the crime first. The imperial court has long since arrested officers and soldiers, and they have not seen him for three months. It can be seen that Master Li has fled in fear of crime." Moreover, it is a heinous crime to kill the number one scholar appointed by the emperor in the street. It not only angers the literati all over the world, but also embarrasses the emperor! This matter has already spread throughout the country. Are the scholars of the world chilling?"

Li Quan lowered his head, he understood a little now, he was discussing how to arrange himself.

But don't worry too much, the emperor summoned himself, the current situation should be under the control of the other party.

The emperor frowned slightly, and pointed at His Highness: "If you have any opinions, you can refuse."

Another person stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I support what the Prime Minister said. It has been a long time since Mr. Li killed Fan Jian. He did not investigate when he committed the crime. It is not appropriate to investigate now. If he is convicted, it will definitely make the whole world feel that the court is not doing things well. The homicide case happened in three months. Although it may hurt the hearts of scholars all over the world, Mr. Li's actions in Huaihai County have already won the hearts of the people. Wouldn't the emperor punish Mr. Li also hurt the hearts of the people? Some people say The heart of the people wins the world, so it can be seen that the heart of the people is the foundation of everything, and it is even more important than the heart of the literati. Therefore, I also feel that it should be rewarded."

On the throne, the emperor stroked his beard in a dignified manner, nodded and said, "It's true. Do you have any other opinions?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people immediately came out to echo what the prime minister said.Although any of the officials held objections, after the emperor spoke, they all chose to remain silent.Even if there was an outspoken person who wanted to step forward, he was stopped by the people around him, and they only shook their heads silently at him.

Li Quan didn't speak, he could feel that this was planned by the emperor, so he just had to wait quietly for the result.

At this time, the emperor raised his hand slowly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said with some distress: "Okay, everyone said rewards, then rewards. But what should be rewarded? Master Li is already in the second rank, and he is no longer suitable to be in the There is no empty value among the ministers for promotion. Besides, Mr. Li has no shortage of money in his family, and it is not appropriate to give gold and silver. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Your Majesty!" Gu Mo said, "Master Li and the Emperor belong to the same family, so it is logical to confer a title."

"Hey! That's a good idea!" The emperor Longyan Dayue turned his eyes to Li Quan, "Li Quan, you have worked hard in Huaihai this time, and I will give you the title of Pinghuaihou, Marquis, and the post of 'servant' of the Ministry of Households. Receive the salary of a first-rank official."

Marquis?Li Quan didn't care too much about it, but he had no choice but to follow suit, so thank you quickly.

……

……

There is no major event today, and the court will be dispersed soon. Hundreds of officials have retreated one after another, and they all bowed their hands to congratulate Li Quan when they passed by.

It's just that Li Quan was called away by a father-in-law before taking two steps.All the officials lost their way, and all gathered around Gu Mo, and kept asking:

"Prime Minister, what is the purpose of the emperor's reward?"

"That's right, I thought the emperor would use this matter to entrust Mr. Li with a heavy responsibility! Why did he only give him a vacant position?"

Gu Mo strode like the wind, ignored it, and walked away with his brows deeply locked.

……

……

Li Quan was taken by his father-in-law to the Royal Garden, still under the small pavilion.

Surprisingly, the queen was there too.

Li Quan had no time to appreciate the beauty of the garden, so he hurried forward to greet the two of them.

I haven't seen you for a few months, but this Empress Nangong is still beautiful, she waved her hand with a smile, and replied for the emperor: "Okay, you don't have to be so reserved when you are not in the court, just sit casually."

"Thank you madam."

Li Quan found a stone bench and sat down, only a few feet away from the emperor.Just as he was about to speak, the emperor stepped forward and said:

"I know what you want to ask. You don't need to ask, I'll tell you. I arranged for you to go to Huaihai County this time. As early as three months ago, I knew that Huaihai County would be in great trouble."

This first sentence shocked Li Quan, how did he know three months ago?

Full of doubts, Li Quan didn't say anything, just listened to the emperor continue to explain.

"The timing of Lu Shang's appearance was also deliberately arranged by me. Only by allowing you to experience the same experience with the people of Huaihai County can you win the hearts of the people and thus gain support. You have also seen it in the court. There are different opinions and different opinions. If it wasn't for you The credit is indeed greater than your crime, and today will not be so smooth."

"But..." Li Quan was thoughtful, "But the emperor doesn't just mean this, does he? I always feel that something is wrong. It seems that the emperor's reward was premeditated."

When the emperor heard it, he became interested: "Oh? Why do you think so? Let's hear it."

"It's very simple. If the emperor only wanted to exonerate his ministers, he wouldn't have to spend so much trouble, and letting Lu Shang appear earlier would save the lives of countless people, officers and soldiers. The emperor is not an indifferent monarch, so the emperor will not hesitate. Such a price would also create an opportunity for the minister to be promoted. I think it has ulterior motives. There is only one thing I don’t understand. How can the emperor give me a vacant position as a marquis after all his efforts? I thought it was at least some kind of palace scholar. "

"Can Li Quanji talk so nonsense in front of you?" Empress Nangong suddenly raised her voice, but her expression was unbearable. Li Quan's words were really angry and funny.

"Haha!" The emperor couldn't help it anymore, and laughed heartily, "Li Quan, Li Quan, when can you speak more seriously? At least you are a grand scholar of the palace? You can figure it out! But...you It’s a good guess, and it’s not in vain to cultivate me with such a mind. Before, there were many things I didn’t tell you, but after the incident in Huaihai County, I took a new look at you. So, let me explain some things to you first. Let you know the stakes, so that you don't mess around again and mess up my arrangement."

Li Quan's spirit lifted, and it is estimated that the following words are not trivial.

Sure enough, Mr. J's expression became serious, and he dismissed all the "servants" and "women" around him, only the queen remained by his side.

"Everyone thinks that Marquis is a false position, but they don't understand what I really mean. The title represents the closeness of a good royal family. Imagine, if you go from Marquis to Duke and then become king, how can I include you in the royal family tree in the future? Isn't it much more obscure?"

"Na... be included in the royal family tree!"

Li Quan was shocked, and so was the queen!

Only the emperor's tone remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I just want to blur your origin step by step, and let you get close to the emperor's family little by little. Even after a few years, when the officials of the dynasty have been replaced, who will know you Li Quan?" What is the right character? Where did it come from? I just need to do a little bit of manipulation to make a fake one, and you, Li Quan, are the orthodox blood of the Li family. Only then will I dare to hand over the world to you with confidence. "

Li Quan shook his head, his mind was buzzing, and he tried a few times before he was sure he wasn't dreaming!

This is simply unbelievable!Imagine that the emperor said in front of him that he wanted to pass on the throne to him, and it was a time-consuming plan.This kind of impact is unprecedentedly huge for anyone.

Empress Nangong pinched her knuckles into the 'meat' nervously, she didn't even know the tender meat of her thigh was bleeding, which shows what a big deal it is!

"I...I...I..." Li Quanba was speechless.
