Zhang Yun's ancient life

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Wei knelt on the ground, while Emperor Longxing crouched on the case and corrected Cheng Da's memorial.

Ever since Li Wei was summoned into the palace to meet Shengyan, the two of them had been in this state for almost half an hour. After hearing Li Wei's order to enter the palace, Emperor Longxing just said indifferently: "Kneel down. "

It was as if he had never seen Li Wei again, and he still freely wrote circles on those memorials, while Li Wei lowered his chest, lowered his head, and knelt straight on the gold bricks of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Motionless as if turned into a statue.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation seemed to freeze, the eunuchs and maids who were waiting on the side did not even dare to take a breath, for fear that they would accidentally annoy the master's life.They didn't understand, how could there be such a weird atmosphere when they met the Holy Majesty in front of the normal courtiers.

Emperor Longxing approved the papers in his hand unhurriedly. He didn't stop the ink brush in his hand until all the thick memorials were approved. He glanced at Li Wei who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: One sentence: "Get up."

As soon as these words came out, the condensed air instantly flowed, and the maids in the palace let out a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know what the master was angry with just now, but looking at it now, it should be over.

Li Wei also moved when he heard the words. The long kneeling affected the blood circulation under his knees and made his legs numb. Li Wei, pay homage to the Holy Majesty."

He no longer has any rank and official status, and he is no longer applicable to humble ministers and generals, so he can only report to his family with the title bestowed by the emperor.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longxing glanced at Li Wei and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but looking at it now, you are still the same."

Li Wei replied after hearing the words: "I dare not forget the kindness of Lord Mu, and dare not change the kindness of Lord Rong."

Hearing this, the emperor pulled out the bottom chapter from the pile of memorials on his right, waved lightly at Li Wei and said, "I've already read the papers on Qing's family, and I'm pressing you to read them." There is no approval, Qing regrets now, there is still time."

Li Wei said without hesitation: "I am grateful to the emperor for his kindness, but I will never regret what Li Wei said."

Emperor Longxing heard the words and said: "Qing's family has been in the army for nine years and has made many military exploits. I look at the situation. Although Qing has no talent, he also has superhuman wisdom. Now that I have become a great treasure for the first time, it is time to employ people. , with your talent, you will surely be able to take on great positions in the future, and now you are retreating bravely, don't you feel it is a pity?"

Li Wei heard the words and returned: "Nine years in the military camp, Li Wei has lost and won, succeeded and defeated, promoted and degraded, gained and lost. All the way, there are ups and downs, ups and downs, and all the flavors in the world can be said. It was just a matter of taste, now that all the dust has settled, Li Wei has fulfilled his wish, Your Majesty, I am tired."

After hearing this, Emperor Longxing knew that Li Wei had really made up his mind to go, so he sighed deeply and said, "It's a pity."

Then he unfolded the memorial in his hand, put it on the dragon case, picked up the brush and lit the cinnabar, and said while replying: "I asked you two things that day, and I have already done one. No regrets, I will not say more, I will allow you."

Li Wei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor, and then heard Emperor Longxing say: "Don't be too busy thanking us, we have something to say first, in the future, if I still need you, please don't shirk." .”

Li Wei returned to the Zhongjinghou Mansion full of joy. Inside, the people who were worried about him saw the joy on his face, and they were a little puzzled.

Asked him, he didn't say anything, his mouth was closed tighter than a clamshell, and the family was happy when they saw him, but they didn't feel embarrassed, so they knew that the Holy One didn't make things difficult for him, and after knowing that he was fine, they didn't ask any more questions.

These days when Li Wei returned to the mansion, he could hear from his attendants from time to time that wives of high-ranking officials and ladies often came to visit the house. Thinking about the third brother, he is already 21 now, just in age, and a newcomer. He was granted the title of hereditary marquis, and there was no concubine, concubine, or concubine in the room. The old lady said again that she would never accept a partial house if she had no sons. Such a good family is hard to find. Now that I have met, If you don't act quickly, the good son-in-law might belong to someone else.

Mrs. Hou is an open-minded person. She is willing to give her son a certain amount of freedom in marriage. For example, when she chooses a daughter-in-law, she will definitely ask for his opinion. , even if the girl is in her eyes, she will only sigh, "My son is not blessed." 'Then continue to the next selection.

Li Yin is afraid to go out recently, because when her mother chose a wife for him, it has already spread, and when she goes out, she always meets acquaintances who make fun of him, even the cousins ​​in the clan will make fun of him when they see him. Let's make some jokes.

Li Yan was a little embarrassed by the embarrassment. Based on the principle that if you want to die, everyone will die together, and if you want to be ashamed, everyone will be ashamed together. When his mother asked his opinion again, she said angrily: "Mother, the elders and children since ancient times Orderly, don't worry about me now, you haven't forgotten that there is an older brother above me, there is no reason in this world that the younger brother should marry a wife before the older brother gets married, so don't worry about me, you Let's deal with my brother first."

Mrs. Lao Hou was a little dumbfounded when she heard the words. It wasn't that she was partial to her child. She also mentioned the matter of marrying a wife to that child of A Wei, and A Wei also generously told her that she had a sweetheart.

Who is that person, I don't need Awei to say that I know it. To be honest, she doesn't approve of these two people. His Awei is so outstanding. For the future, if you marry someone, wouldn't that be ruined?

Helpless, that child has definitely decided, she raised A Wei single-handedly, she can't understand his temperament well, as long as this child decides something, she will never turn back, although she is an aunt, but After all, she is not her own mother, so she is not qualified to really make decisions for the child, so she can only feel sad alone.

Seeing that his mother's expression was not right, Li Yan changed his mind and said, "It can't be about my brother and Dongfang, my mother knew about it, right?" '

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "Mother, your complexion is not quite right, have you asked brother? Is he interested in someone?"

When the old lady heard the words, she gave her son a hard look and said: "Don't bother with your business, you should take yourself into captivity first and worry about others."

Although Li Yin was despised by his mother, he wasn't sad at all. After sending his old mother away respectfully, he jumped up and down to Li Wei's side.

When the two brothers come and go, they never need to be notified, so when Li Yin opened the door and entered the room, Li Wei was reading a book on the recliner. I just saw my mother, and when she mentioned your marriage, she looked a little strange, does she know about you and Dongfang?"

Hearing this, Li Wei was very calm: "Yes."

Li Yan widened his eyes and said, "Then what should I do??? Hey, no, how can you be so calm?"

Li Wei ignored him when he heard the words, just turned a page in the book in his hand and continued to read.

Li Yin looked at Li Wei carefully, and seeing that he really didn't show any signs of panic, he said, "Looking at how calm and composed my brother is, I must have already made up my mind. My brother is really worrying about you for nothing."

"However, brother, do you really want to marry?" Li Yin said while looking at him suspiciously.

Li Wei still didn't respond, and said softly: "Yes."

Li Yan laughed and said, "Great, I actually have the opportunity to prepare a dowry for my brother. This is really an exciting thing. Brother, you wait. My brother will give you everything, and I will call you Fengguang Just get married."

Li Wei reacted this time. He watched his younger brother jumping out with a dark face, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said, "You brat."

Within a few days, the second imperial decree regarding Li Wei was issued. Li Wei, the second son of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, who made meritorious service in Pinghai, was specially named Rong Lebo, and granted Rong Lebo Mansion with 50 hectares of fertile land. One farm in the suburbs, and some rewards for the rest.

After a word of decree, the nobles in the capital started talking again, and those who talked came and went, there were still many people who were worthless for Li Wei.

The highest rank in Dayong is Wang Jue, all of which are first-rank, but that is for the close support of the royal family, and other people don't need to think about it. The rest are Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Nan.Corresponding to the second to sixth rank, divided into two types: hereditary and non-hereditary.

Li Wei was originally an admiral of the second rank, with real power and influence in the local area.

But after being recalled to the capital, he only got the idle position of a fourth-rank earl, which is still not hereditary, so what a loss.

Those who didn't come to congratulate him all said that the new Rong Lebo looked serious and could not see a hint of joy.

The people in Zhongjinghou's Mansion were quite happy at first. Although the emperor gave him a title, although it was not hereditary, it was still a kind of encouragement. No wonder the second master had a happy expression on his face when he came back. He must have known about it a long time ago.

It's no wonder that Li Wei knew, what he played was obviously not about this matter, well, what the hell are you trying to do, Your Majesty?

Before everyone could figure it out, the emperor issued another imperial decree, which stunned everyone to be Jiao Linen.

The emperor actually gave Rong Lebo Li Wei a marriage, and the gift was Long Anbo's grandson Dongfang Hao.

Listen everyone, grandson~~~~~, that is a man~~~~~.

After being relieved by the emperor's move, the ministers with staring eyes climbed up to the emperor one after another, and said with tears streaming down their faces: "How can a person with a title marry? There has never been such a thing since ancient times." Ah." Your Majesty, don't play tricks like this.

The emperor looked at these ministers and said: "Yours reminded me so much, I also remembered, but the decree is below, you are not joking, if I withdraw the decree, you want me to be a dishonesty person?"

Of course, the emperor couldn't keep his word, so a minister gave an idea, saying that your majesty, you can take back the title given to Li Wei.

Emperor Longxing heard the words, and the people from the Ministry of War presented the credit book, pointed to the pile of Li Wei's names on it, and said: "I conferred the title of Li Wei because he has contributed to the country, and he will not be honored if he has meritorious service. Chilling the hearts of the heroes, that's what a foolish king would do, you don't want me to be a foolish king, right?"

The ministers couldn't say that the emperor was a fool, so they had to bring out the etiquette to talk about the matter.

After listening to the defense of the ministers, the emperor said: "The etiquette law does not say that it is allowed, but it also does not say that it is not allowed. Women can be named county kings and county kings if they have meritorious service. Why can't they be both? It didn't happen before, but it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Can we start now?"

After many struggles and arguments, the ministers lost all their tempers because of the emperor's scoundrels, so they could only beat their feet and watch the wedding in the Zhongjinghou Mansion and Long'anbo Mansion, and comforted themselves by saying, " Fortunately, fortunately, the title granted to Li Wei by the emperor at the beginning was not hereditary, and the chaos was only his generation.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as they wanted in the end.
