I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

In addition to the group of heroes who founded the country in the Tang Dynasty, it is not particularly easy to confer titles in the future, although you can see which prime ministers were conferred in the history books.

But the problem is that being a prime minister may be much more difficult than conferring a title. A prime minister is a truly extraordinary minister. It is normal for such a person to be conferred a title if he has some meritorious deeds.

In addition to these, it is not easy to confer titles for military merits. Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei are in a situation where they can be conferred or not.

It can be sealed because the two of them do have military merits, but it can't be sealed because the intensity of this war is still a little bit worse.

It's just countering the rebellion. If the invading enemy is repelled, such a great contribution can definitely be conferred a knighthood.

Someone immediately objected, Wu Zhao glanced at the person and said, "I want you to discuss what kind of title to confer."

The main thing is to give several ranks of titles, not whether to seal them or not.

Many people who were eager to try to interfere with it suddenly died down. Before, they thought that Luo Shixing would write a memorial to scold them for not giving them face, so they obstructed the other party's knighting, so that Luo Shixing would know how powerful they were.

As a result, Wu Zhao pressed him down before he even started to act.

The knighthood has been decided, so the next step is the issue of treatment.

Datang had a total of nine ranks of titles, and Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were not too high in their initial conferments. In the end, two titles were decided, one was a fifth-rank Jianguo county son, and the other was a fifth-rank Jianguo county male.

Once the title is determined, the title needs to be negotiated. Generally, there are Shiyi, [-] households in the county male Shiyi, and [-] county son Shiyi. It will be sealed.

Because xufeng didn't really hand over the tax to them, everyone didn't pay much attention to the title at first, and planned to choose two good-sounding ones. After all, the two children are both good-looking, and the title must be worthy of it.

As a result, when everyone was choosing a good-sounding place name, Wu Zhao gave them a stick: "Jiaozhou Governor and Jiaozhou Sima have accumulated meritorious service, which is enough to seal them."

Crowd: ? ? ?

Many people can't sit still, the false titles are basically only the two of them have the titles, and future generations cannot inherit the titles, but the real titles can be inherited!

Although these two people have made contributions, they are not enough to receive the seal, right?There are so many bigwigs in the court who are still in vain, and they are suddenly overtaken by two children in a corner. Everyone said that it is not acceptable.

In terms of military exploits, they also have it!

No, I have to have a good fight with the emperor.

As a result, just when they were about to break up, Wu Zhao said again: "Xiao Shanshi, the magistrate of Beidai County, has done meritorious service before them. Let's discuss this matter before we talk about their affairs."

After hearing this, Di Renjie secretly laughed. These people really think that the emperor really doesn't care about this matter because he doesn't speak much recently?Sometimes the emperor's reticence on a controversial matter represents a certain tendency, and she must agree with one of the views.

As the saying goes, the emperor will know if there is something as soon as he makes a move. What's the use of arguing so fiercely? Come on, let's see if it's about Xiao Shanshi or Luo Shixing and their seal, which is more important?

After everyone weighed the pros and cons, they decided to put Xiao Shanshi's matter aside first. Since they wanted to reward them, they would naturally follow the normal way. Anyway, even if they rewarded a small county magistrate, they would not be able to find the money in a short time. It's so far away, you just have to turn a blind eye.

What really had the greatest impact was the matter of Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei. If they were knighted, would people in the future also follow this example?The problem is that there are many people with such military exploits, and I haven't seen those people receive a seal.

Everyone quoted the scriptures and listed all the previous examples in order to persuade the emperor not to do this.

Wu Zhao saw that they listed all the examples from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, and said without frowning: "I intend to change the dynasty, and the first month of next year will be the first year of the Great Zhou Tianshou."

Everyone was slightly taken aback. The matter of changing the country name... They were already prepared in their hearts. Before the emperor's heir Li Dan led more than 6 people to write a letter requesting to change the country name. Wu Zhao had already agreed and set Zhou's country name.

Although everyone has some complaints about this matter, they can only accept the trend of the times.

But what does this matter have to do with Luo Shixing and the others?

On the contrary, she reacted wisely, and immediately understood that what the empress meant was that the Great Zhou was different from the Great Tang, and that the Great Zhou had its own national conditions.

Moreover, many people calculated that it is only a dozen days away from the first month of the first year of Tianshou. The counter-insurgency war is actually still going on. It is said that it will be almost the same until the first month of next year. It is estimated that the empress still wants to characterize this matter as the founding of the country. First win.

This is of great significance, and it is understandable to want to give them a seal.

However, there are always some people whose brains are not easy to use, thinking that Luo Shixing and the others are favored by the empress, but why can they be favored by the empress?Naturally, it was because they offered huge gifts and electric lights.

Thinking about it this way, some people thought that before Luo Shixing was telling others to be greedy for ink, he himself was also greedy as the governor of Jiaozhou, right?Otherwise, how did the precious pearl shawl and ice glaze come from?

Of course, those who think this way are basically newly promoted people who have never participated in the Pearl Banquet, so Yushitai is gearing up to pull Luo Shixing down.

They have no enmity with Luo Shixing, but human jealousy does not necessarily have to have enmity.

No matter when there are people who are pretentious, they feel that they are proficient in a hundred poems and books, and some people even have studied hard for so many years. A child can be knighted in the blink of an eye?

Especially when the two children were not very old when they were exiled, they probably didn't have much time to study, and the energy they put in in this area was far inferior to them.

Of course, they didn't dare to directly say that Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were illiterate - until now, many people in Luoyang were still praising Luo Shixing's poems, and some even composed those poems for famous actors to sing, and the spread was very wide.

But even such people don't think Luo Shixing is good, can't he just write two poems?Which of the ministers of the thigh and arm is good at writing poetry?Writing poetry can't rule the world.

Thinking this way in his heart, he still didn't dare to point it out directly, for fear that Luo Shixing would write poems to ridicule them if he got angry. Literati know how sharp their words are.

Therefore, there were people who were suspected of being greedy for ginseng Luo Shixing, but they didn't directly point out the pearl shawl of the emperor, but dragged Wu Chengsi into the water - Wu Chengsi was helping sell pearls recently.

It's just that these people felt that they were doing it for the emperor not to be deceived and to clean up the officialdom, and they had no other ideas.

But Wu Chengsi felt that these people were targeting him. Once the title was changed, he would be crowned king. With the throne, wouldn't he be one step away from the crown prince?

So recently he has been secretly preparing, and next year someone will ask him to be crowned prince.

At this juncture, there must be people who are also paying attention to this, such as Wu Sansi.

Wu Chengsi snorted coldly in his heart, these people must be stumbling blocks on his way to the throne, they must be killed first.

So Wu Chengsi wrote a letter to Luo Shixing, with the main idea: brother, I'm sorry, someone wants to compete with me for the position of prince, and you are implicated, but don't worry, I will settle this matter, it's just you The knighthood may be later, I'm sorry.

In order to express his apology, Wu Chengsi even sent Luo Shixing a lot of delicious and fun things unique to Luoyang.

Princess Taiping was a little surprised when she found out: "He still takes the initiative to take the initiative?"

According to Wu Chengsi's character, isn't it just waiting for Luo Shixing to confront these people and help him clear the way?

Xue Shao said while helping the princess blow the anti-fetal medicine: "It depends on who it is. Wu Chengsi's life has become more and more extravagant recently. Most of the money is obtained through electric lights and ice glass. No fault is his purse. He If you don’t protect anyone, you have to protect your own purse.”

Princess Taiping thinks about it too, not only Wu Chengsi, but even Princess Taiping's income has increased a lot.

She has always been used to being rich, and it can make her feel that there is a lot of money, which is really a lot of money.

In fact, even Luo Shixing once lamented that the people of Luoyang are rich, and the price of the same thing from Jiaozhou to Luoyang can be ten times higher, which is simply huge profits!

At this time, Luo Shixing was actually quite ordinary about being granted titles. He really didn't pursue promotion and fortune. Frankly speaking, what was the purpose of being knighted? It was to satisfy himself and future generations.

Now he has made it clear that he has no descendants, so it is the same whether it is a real seal or a false seal.

As a result, because of such an incident, he received two letters of apology at once.

The first one was Xiao Shanshi, Xiao Shanshi had already been rewarded by the imperial court, giving her a seventh-rank honor and her brother an eighth-rank honor.

Xiao Shanshi inquired about the news with her family, and learned that the empress had ordered that the issue of rewards for her meritorious deeds must be resolved first before talking about the issue of Luo Shixing's real and false titles.

Xiao Shanshi was deeply aware that her reward might have squeezed out Luo Shixing's real seal, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.

How can her meritorious service compare to Shifeng?It doesn't matter even if he doesn't have it now, as long as Luo Shixing is still there, can he treat himself badly when he is really knighted?What's more, Xiao Shanshi doesn't have particularly big ambitions, and she probably will stay in Lingnan for the rest of her life, so why do I need that kind of reward?

I wanted to fight before just because I couldn't swallow this breath.

The other letter was Wu Chengsi's letter. Luo Shixing was a little dumbfounded holding the letter from the two of them: "Sanniang thinks too much. Her little thing is just that some people want to guard against it and don't want women to stand out. Where is it?" Can it affect us? As for Wu Chengsi... I don't think those people are really targeting him."

What's the point of participating in Luo Shixing's words against Wu Chengsi?Bringing down Luo Shixing will not affect Wu Chengsi, the two of them are at most a business cooperation relationship.

Luo Shixing didn't care about throwing the letter aside, and he couldn't explain the matter of Pearl directly, or he might have to go to Luoyang to perform in public.

All he needs to do is one thing: send Jiaozhou's original ledger to the imperial court, don't you say I am corrupt?See if I have a chance of corruption?

However, after the account book was sent out, Luo Shixing suddenly realized something: "Ah, no, did we forget to copy the account book?"

They all use Arabic numerals to keep accounts, and by the way, the way of keeping accounts has been changed, so no one in the court may understand it.

Wang Xuan also reacted at this time and slapped his thigh: "I'll write another copy."

At this time, the imperial court had already received Jiaozhou's account book, and after the account department opened it, his eyes immediately turned dark: What is this all about?
