Chapter 1399: An Guoqi King
Chapter 1399 Anguo Qi King
March 15th,
Symbolic Chaohui.
Luoyang Palace, Xuanzheng Hall.
All officials above the ninth grade in Beijing entered the court meeting. The emperor Li Zhao waited for the grand master Qin Lang to lead Shanhu Longsui, and then stood up from the throne.
He stretched out his hand and took Qin Lang up to the top of the jade steps, facing the ministers.
Proclamation loudly.
"I heard that the philosopher kings in ancient times, who succeeded in establishing the pole, would not hesitate to ask for a good assistant, and use Emperor Kang's way. Because of the power of Xuan Dengfeng, they can protect the country from chaos. Han used Xiao Cao, so they worked hard for the king's foot of the country. Therefore, they can help the royal family. To help the common people, to be the treasured minister of the country, and to contribute to the great cause of the emperor. Pi won the throne, and he is really a Sri Lankan!"
"Taishi, Shangzhu Kingdom, King of Qi, and Wang Lang of Lusong, who are both civil and military, loyal and bright, show great talents and respond to the fortune, make great achievements and govern the state, have outstanding achievements and talents, have excellent talents, and control the enemy with power and strategy. Integrity is the best way to change the time.
"The choice of fate is hard to be benevolent. It is not possible to govern the state without husband and wife, but to restrain violence with military force, and to succeed in defeating the enemy. You can be a native of Hongcai, and you can apply for your destiny.
The general resigned, and he had nothing to do with his family. The prime minister is worried about the border, thinking about the country's troubles.
The philosopher kings of ancient times, the imperial palace in the house, all enshrined their children internally, and established feudal lords externally.
Guaranteed to be used for conspiracy, it is advisable to apply for the prestige of the president. He will put an end to the outer turmoil, clarify the counties, honor the vassal screen, honor the merits of the community, and put his life on the line, so as to end up with an eternal reputation.
Tejia respected his father, made Anguo the king of Qi, and also envoy Chijie and ambassador to the South China Sea. Yu remains the same.
After the emperor held Qin Lang's hand and read out the edict, there was a sound of surprise in the hall.
Before I heard that the Grand Master Qin Lang even submitted seven begging letters, but the emperor refused to allow it. Yesterday the Grand Master re-entered the palace to face the saint, and then news came out that the saint finally reluctantly agreed.
No one would have thought that Qin Lang would really resign from Luo. He is only in his fifties, and he is so strong. How old is he, but he can still ride a horse and play ball, he can eat roast duck, and it is said that he has a beautiful concubine every year.
The current prince Zhan Shi is still a civil servant, but he has continued the longevity of the Tang prince Zhan Shi. Li Gang and Pei Ju, who had been prince Zhan Shi, both lived to be over 80 years old, and now Tang Jian is over 80 years old. Before, Xiao Deyan did the Shao Zhan thing, and he lived for more than ninety years.
Xu Jingzong also worked for Prince Zhan, and he is now in his seventies.
Qin Langna also worked for Prince Zhan. With his body, it is estimated that he will live to eighty years.
Then why did he leave in such a hurry? If Qin Lang left when the Supreme Emperor first succeeded to the throne, that would be helpless, after all, at that time Yushitai was planning to impeach Qin Lang, and the emperor was happy to leave Qin Lang.
But the attitude of the current emperor is very clear. He hopes that Qin Lang will stay. At least ten years later, the emperor will definitely not drive Qin Lang away.
Who would have thought that Qin Lang really left as soon as he said he wanted to. He arrived in Luoyang on New Year's Eve, but now it's just March, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and Qin Lang is leaving.
The emperor also showed enough generosity towards Qin Lang who was about to leave Beijing.
It’s not about the words of praise in the imperial edict made by the emperor himself, but it’s just about the rewards the emperor gave to Qin Lang.
In front of Qi Guo, the word Anguo is added.
This is the first copy in the history of Datang.
The emperor then explained the meaning. King Anguo Qi is not only a pleasant word, but also a privilege beyond the general title of king. It can be punished to be knighted below the founding marquis, and local officials below the third rank can be killed first and then played, and they can also open the Anguo Qi Palace.
Anguo Qi Wang, similar to General Tiance, is a special official title.
Afterwards, the emperor personally added Qinlang Shiyi, from the previous 10,000 households to real seals, and another 10,000 households, adding up to 20,000 households with real seals, and the false seals were called 100,000.
And this time the emperor also made a special statement that the 20,000 households in the real seal were all designated within the seven prefectures under Wu'an Prefecture, and each household was selected to have at least three Dings or more.
Wu'an Mansion was originally Qin Lang's inner fiefdom, and he could enjoy one-third of the taxes in Wu'an Mansion. There was no limit on the number of households, but the taxes paid by all households in the entire Wu'an Mansion were paid by him. One third, including industrial and commercial tax and so on.
And now the emperor's 20,000 households are superimposed.
Qin Lang additionally enjoys one-third of the taxation of the 20,000 households.
In addition to being amazed, everyone is more envious.
After all, Qin Lang's meritorious deeds are amazing, this encounter is even more awesome, and luck is stronger.
Four dynasties veterans, three dynasties determined policy support, who has such luck?
And Qin Lang is willing to take the initiative to return to power to the emperor, which is beyond the reach of others. Therefore, it is normal for the emperor to be more generous.
There are a lot of 20,000 households, but it is only relative. After all, Wu'an Mansion was a land occupied by barbarians more than 30 years ago. There is no population, it was all brought down by Qin Lang and his servants back then, and later he recruited craftsmen and people to emigrate for development and construction with real money. This is how the seven prefectures of Wu'an Governor's Mansion are now, with a registered population of more than one million.
Wool comes from sheep after all.
As for King Anguo Qi, it doesn’t matter much like Shangfu. If Qin Lang stayed in Luoyang, the emperor probably wouldn’t grant him such a title, but it doesn’t matter if he went overseas thousands of miles away from Luoyang.
It doesn’t matter whether you open a mansion or build a tooth. After all, there is a Luzon Kingdom. These are just icing on the cake. Qin Lang is thousands of miles away, can he really control the court remotely?
Beating gongs and drums to cheer the sky, it is the right way to send off the grand master from Luo.
The emperor seems to want to make things more lively today.
Immediately afterwards, another edict was read out.
Added the title of Aunt Princess Taiping as Zhenguo Taiping Dachang Princess, and the title was promoted as Dachang Princess as usual, but the word Zhenguo was added in front of it. He explained that this was also a privilege for the emperor's aunt to participate in government affairs and establish a government.
Princess Shishi had a total of 10,000 households before the closure, which was also allocated to the seven prefectures of Wu'an, and also selected more than three households.
Li Lizhi won the title of Zhenguo Princess, not just a married princess, but a formal political identity, which is still useful at critical times. Of course, if Li Lizhi has no political ambitions, Then it's just a special honor.
Another person, King Qi of Anguo and Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, except for the emperor, the other princes, princesses, clan kings, prime ministers, secretaries and officials below are not required to meet.
In fact, after the two had this title, they were ranked above all officials, even princes and princesses.
Even the crown prince does not need to bow. The crown prince must pay respects to the two of them according to the etiquette of worshiping the three masters and three princes first, and then the two return the salute.
······
"Is Qin Grand Master really going to be an official?"
"impossible?"
"The Kaiyuan Dynasty did not return to the Central Plains for fifteen years, and it has only been three months since he entered the court to serve as an assistant government, and he was resigned?"
"Is there any story in it?"
"Don't you hate the emperor?"
For a while, there was a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties, and everyone was shocked. Even though Qin Lang had said in public more than once that he would not stay in Luoyang for a long time, everyone still couldn't believe it when the day came.
It is really impossible for anyone to substitute in, and I feel that I can't leave easily.
"What does it mean to hate the emperor? With the prestige of Qin Taishi today, even if the emperor is evil, what else can the emperor do except endure?"
"That's right, the one from Shangyang Palace is the same."
·······
Shangyang Palace.
The Supreme Emperor Li Yin was sitting in a wheelchair, admiring the late-blooming peach blossoms.
The garden is full of peach blossoms, falling one after another.
Several princesses were authorized to come to visit the Supreme Emperor, and also told him the news of Qin Lang's official appointment.
The Taishanghuang is in good condition, and his face is rosy. Although he can't walk yet, he can speak clearly, and he can even write a good handwriting with his left hand.
With someone supporting him, the Supreme Emperor could even walk for a while.
"Qin Lang, did you really resign?"
"Well, the grand master's luggage has already been loaded and set off ahead of time, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Cui Yixuan, Xiao Chen, Wei Xuanzhen, Dou Dexuan, Lu Chengqing, Xue Yuanchao and other former prime ministers will also be traveling together."
The Emperor Taishang held a branch of peach blossom in his hand, and was a little lost in thought.
He actually left like this?
Li Yin didn't want to believe it, how could it be possible, who would be so calm in the face of the temptation of power?
He never believed in Qin Lang.
During his darkest period, he even dreamed countless times that Qin Lang led a group of Shandong generals to rebel, stormed into the Xuanwu Gate, seized his Li family's country and society, added himself in a yellow robe, and established his Qin family dynasty.
How could Qin Lang give up this power?
He has known Qin Lang for more than 30 years. He has known Qin Lang since he was eight years old. Doesn't he know Qin Lang well enough?
When he was eight years old, he saw with his own eyes that Qin Lang, who was only sixteen years old, held the head built by his uncle in his left hand and the head of his uncle Yuan Ji in his right. In front of the palace soldiers who attacked the palace.
That scene will never be forgotten in my life.
The head of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, whose death is unrepentant, is like a piece of trash in Qin Lang's hands.
How can there be any fear of imperial power in that person's eyes?
He will never forget that when Qin Lang was young, he led troops to many expeditions. In Longyou and Qinghai, the blood of the Dangxiang, Tuyuhun, and Tubo people who were killed flowed into rivers. There are hundreds of thousands of prisoners.
So far in the northwest area, there are still stories about the human slaughter of Qin Lang.
Granny used Qin Lang to scare those disobedient children. After more than 30 years, the effect of stopping children's crying is even more remarkable.
Such a person, would he not love power?
He didn't believe it.
Li Yin wanted to see his son, and wanted to remind the young emperor not to be too careless.
But Li Zhao didn't want to see him at all.
On the contrary, before leaving, Qin Lang specially came to Shangyang Palace to bid farewell.
Qin Lang pushed the Supreme Emperor's wheelchair and walked down the corridor under the high palace wall.
"Do you want to be the king of the South China Sea? Do you want to be the Dragon King of the South China Sea?" After a long time, the Supreme Emperor spoke slowly, breaking the strange atmosphere.
Qin Lang actually didn't want to talk nonsense with Li Yin, and came here just to say goodbye.
Li Yin is a beast of that kind of power, and he even has a bit of persecution paranoia. He always feels that others want to take his throne, take his country, and murder him. state of biting.
Catch whoever bites whom.
"Your Majesty, Luzon is the territory that the Holy Patriarch personally issued an edict to the minister. The minister has no ambitions. He just wants to manage this three-acre land with his heart. He is happy and carefree, and has never thought of anything else."
Li Yin didn't believe it at all. How could it be possible for him to save others?
"Luzon was not originally owned by the Han family. You conquered it across the sea. The holy ancestor just made up a legal order for you before he died."
"Your Majesty, that is the self-governing overseas territory bestowed by the ancestors on the ministers to the ministers' families. There is nothing wrong with this, and it will not change. The ministers don't want to change at all. Isn't it good as it is now?"
"Are you really not coming back?"
"Luzon is pretty good. There are not so many intrigues, intrigues, and suspicions. The pace of life is slower and more comfortable."
Li Yin let out a long sigh.
"So, I have been wrong all along?"
Qin Lang smiled, but didn't reply to him.
"After this farewell, maybe we won't see each other again," the Taishang Emperor murmured, "I hope we won't see each other again."
Pushing the wheelchair, accompanied the Supreme Emperor around the Shangyang Palace. It took almost two hours, and the two of them didn't speak a few words.
Finally, Qin Lang was about to leave.
Li Yin was sitting in a wheelchair, feeling somewhat reluctant.
Seeing Qin Lang striding away without looking back, seeing his vigorous steps and tall and straight figure, Li Yin was so envious, even jealous.
This guy is actually in his fifties, but looking at it like this, he can live another thirty or forty years.
Maybe, he will still go to Luo in this life, and then support a new emperor and become the elder of the Five Dynasties? Even the elders of the Six Dynasties?
When that time comes, will Qin Lang still leave gracefully?
Li Yin was very distressed. With Qin Lang, many of his judgments were always wrong.
Return to Shanglin Garden.
The emperor was at home in micro-clothes, and Empress Qin, Queen Mother, and Concubine Qin also came.
Elder Sun Xiaozhong said to him, "The sage has been here for more than an hour. I told you that you went to Shangyang Palace to bid farewell to the Supreme Emperor. The sage didn't show any expression."
Qin Lang patted his grandson, "Don't talk nonsense."
It is said that the father is kind and the son is filial, but the Li family seems to have a tradition. The relationship between the emperor's father and his son is always very awkward. After Li Zhao became the emperor, the relationship with the Supreme Emperor Li Yin became very distorted.
Li Zhao put his father under house arrest in Shangyang Palace, just like a prison, and he also tried not to go to Shangyang Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor wanted to see Li Zhao, but he couldn't.
The night before parting.
Qin Lang held a family banquet.
The Qin family in Beijing get together for a meal, but there are not many Qin family in Beijing now.
The eldest son Qin Jun led the army to fight in the Western Regions, the eldest son Qin Yu stayed in Lu Song, six brothers, the fifth Qin Xun was driven to Songzhou by Qin Lang, the fourth Qin Li went to Beiting, and the sixth Qin Gui was in Beijing. , Brothers seven, eight, nine and three were also released.
Most of Qin Lang's descendants are in Luzon.
There are a few nephews and nephews in Beijing, but they are just with them. They are a generation behind, and there is nothing to say when they sit together.
Especially at today's family banquet, there are emperors, queen mothers and concubines in micro clothes, queens and princes, etc., which seem too grand and formal.
Qin Lang drank some wine with the emperor, and chatted with his sister and daughter.
The entire dinner party was full of laughter and laughter, but it felt deliberate and somewhat hypocritical.
Miss Cui, who is always a good scene, went to invite today and didn't come. Since Qin Xun was driven to Songzhou, the seventy-year-old lady Cui seemed to have lost interest in socializing.
In the middle of the night, Qin Lang sent the emperor and others away.
Weng, son-in-law, monarch and ministers bid farewell politely, and the emperor even came up to hug him warmly.
After the emperor boarded the imperial chariot drawn by six horses and was escorted away by a large number of imperial guards, Qin Lang turned his head back.
In the emperor's carriage that was driving slowly, the young emperor who had been smiling all the time finally put away his smile and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
