"My lord, I am content and don't dare to dream!"
Ping An spoke with a sincere look in his eyes, "Everything I have is given by you and the emperor. I just want to serve the two emperors well..."
"You have been loyal since you were a child!" The old man nodded approvingly, with a smile on his face, "This is what we like!"
Then, the old man changed his posture and continued to lean forward, "Before I die, I will lick my old face again and beg the emperor to give you a favor!"
"Old man!" Ping An was so anxious that he kowtowed repeatedly until his head was broken, crying, "You will definitely live a long life..."
"Hold it back, don't howl!" the old man shouted coldly.
There was sudden silence inside the house.
"I'll give you the position of a duke, but this duke doesn't have the iron book of alchemy!"
A duke without an iron certificate of alchemy is not hereditary, but a grant. However, it had been more than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and titles had long been a rarity. Unless they made great contributions, they would not be given at all.
Even if it is given, it is impossible to directly give him the title of Duke.
Peace has stopped.
His temperament is honest, but he is not stupid. The old man will never give him such a heavy reward for no reason. Even if he is not a hereditary prince, he is the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty's 180,000 troops. He is young and powerful.
He's the old man's adopted son again...
"Some official positions cannot be controlled without a title!" the old man continued, "Some things are even more inconvenient without a title! There are some people you can't control without a title!" As he said, the old man smiled, "It's just like Lan Yu back then. If not,
How can he hold the power of the Duke of the country?"
"I don't dare to imitate Lan Yu!" Pingan kowtowed uneasily, "I am a royal eagle dog..."
"We know you don't dare to learn, and you can't learn it!" The old man interrupted him with a smile, "But what we want to give you is the power and power of Lan Yu. In other words, before we die, let the emperor
Lift you to his original position!"
"How virtuous and capable are my ministers? In terms of prestige and military achievements..."
"To be too honest is to be cowardly!" the old man scolded him with a straight face.
"How can you be successful if you are timid before you even start? What are you worried about? The emperor is behind you, who do you need to care about?" the old man continued.
"I'm afraid..." Ping An shed tears, "Tick your tail!"
"Ha! No matter how stubborn you are, can you make a big difference?" The old man scolded again, "Besides, given your temperament, how far can you go?" He said, slightly tilting his head, "You are a smart boy, let me give you a word.
When you want to raise your tail in the future, think about the fate of those who raise their tails."
As he spoke, he added, "Besides, since you can think of this, it proves that you won't cross the thunder pond even half a step!"
"I'll put you in Lan Yu's seat. Do you know what to do?" the old man asked again.
Ping An pondered for a moment, raised his head and said seriously, "Just like Lan Yu did before, I will protect the Emperor to the death!"
"What should I do if someone disobeys me?" the old man asked loudly.
"I will lead the troops to attack!"
"Who would you kill if I asked you to?"
"That's who I'm going to kill!"
"Okay!" The old man smiled, "I won't say any more, you can experience it yourself."
Then, the old man looked at Mei Yin.
"Is everything okay at home?"
Mei Yin also hurriedly walked forward and said, "Back to the Emperor, everything is fine!" After saying that, he continued, "The princess said a few days ago that she wanted to come and see you!"
"Well, you can come and bring our two grandsons with you. Let's take a look at them one last time!" the old man said with a smile.
"Old man, you..." Mei Yin shrugged her shoulders and swallowed, "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
"Everyone is going to die!" the old man sighed, "I know my body well, and I feel like I won't be able to survive this year, so I have to explain some things in advance to avoid being blinded later!"
"Old man, you will naturally have a long life..."
"That's nonsense!" The old man waved his hand and continued to look at the other person, "Among so many uncles, we have always valued you the most and used you most. You are a filial child, and now we have something to do with you!"
"My lord, this is the end of your life!" Mei Yin kowtowed.
"We will tell the emperor that you will be transferred to the Ministry of War as the right minister!"
Mei Yin was shocked. Although the right minister of the Ministry of War was only of second rank, he was the most critical department in the Ming army.
The Ministry of War and the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion mutually restrict each other, and the right minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of the promotion assessment of generals. More importantly, this position is in charge of the military supplies for the vassal king's border formation every year. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
In other words, the position of the second-grade minister is stuck in the necks of the feudal princes.
"Also, you are our uncle, the leader of all the princes-in-law." The old man continued, "You are the only one who belongs to the right clan of the clan, I will leave the royal affairs to you!"
The original name of the Zongren Mansion was Dazong Yuanzheng. In the 22nd year of Hongwu, it was renamed the Zongren Mansion. It specialized in managing the words and deeds of the royal family and punishing them.
This yamen was first managed by the King of Qin. After the death of King Qin, he was succeeded by the King of Jin. Now the clan order is vacant. And You Zongzheng is the highest official.
"We won't hide it from you!" the old man continued, "The emperor is still young. It was hard to say anything when we were there, and no one dared to say it. When we are gone, someone might do something stupid!"
"You are our own family member and Princess Ning Guo's consort, so you can speak. So in order to prevent these family scandals, you have to stand up!"
"Persuade those who can, and don't let outsiders laugh at them. But if you can't persuade, you will punish those who deserve it, and you must have the responsibility!"
At this point, both Ping An and Mei Yin understood.
The former, as a die-hard confidant of the emperor, firmly controlled the capital and did not allow outsiders to take advantage of it. He could come and go if he was called upon, and he was the sword in the emperor's hand.
As the son-in-law of the royal family, the latter must be the first to stand up when someone really challenges the royal power.
The two of them will be the emperor's vanguard to eliminate all opposition forces.
Just as Xu Huizu thought, the old man asked the emperor to marry the four girls of the Xu family as concubines in order to provide layout for foreign ministers like them.
So now we promote an adopted son or a son-in-law and entrust them with important responsibilities, just to prevent future ministers.
"Actually, the emperor, we are not worried at all!" The old man sighed, "That's how we are when we get old, always thinking about everything, everything is safe! There are some things that I'm not afraid of you two knowing. Hey, those sons of ours... Hey,
All our efforts are in vain!"
"Hey, it sounds like the roots are also with us!"
"At the beginning, we thought that the emperor is the emperor and the prince is the prince. We thought that people in the world would farm and study, and everyone could live a good life in peace with their own affairs."
"But I didn't expect that the world cannot be static. People say that Hongwu was great. Damn it, in fact, we left my grandson a mess full of hidden dangers!"
As he said that, the old man raised his fingers and asked Mei Yin and Pingan to get close to him. He whispered, "Pu Bucheng has our edict..."
~~
Outside the house, the oil in the iron pot was sizzling.
Pu Bucheng used a slotted spoon to take out the golden oil residue inside and put it in a white porcelain bowl.
He picked up another spoon and carefully put the bright-colored lard into the jar.
Next to him, the old man with a sly look on his face secretly reached out his hand, and without worrying about burning his mouth, he grabbed the oil residue and threw it into his mouth.
Pu Bucheng moved his eyebrows, but didn't say much.
"Old Pu!" Unexpectedly, Xi Ying was really pushing the envelope, "I'll leave a plate for Taoist master with some salt and pepper to go with the wine!"
Before he finished speaking, a eunuch trotted over.
"Ancestor, Long live the Lord is here! There are also Prince Jin and Prince An..."
Pu Bucheng put down the spoon and went into the house. The next second, Mei Yin and Ping An disappeared from the back door.
Immediately afterwards, children yelling could be heard outside the yard.
"Father, my sons and ministers are here to see you!"
Zhu Nan and several young princes ran into the courtyard.
The old man's clothed figure appeared at the door and said with a smile, "The nose is really good. I just killed the pig and you all came here to eat the meat!"
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
