Chapter 334 Qilin surrenders to Duke Yi’s Mansion
Although the official title is a famous instrument of the country, whether it can be awarded or not still depends on the emperor.
Although Wu Huaiyu was young, he was deeply favored by the saints. Moreover, this time he had accomplished a military feat of destroying a country and beheading a king, so it was natural for him to be promoted to a noble rank.
It's just that the title of Duke can actually be made or not.
After all, military merit is the criterion for ennobling a title. Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Jing, the Minister of Punishment, is the most qualified to be granted the title of Duke. However, from Wude to Zhenguan, the emperors of both dynasties did not give Li Jing a title of Duke. He was still granted the title of Duke.
Ancestor Duke of Yongkang County.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was indeed a bit like Li Guang, although Li Jing had much greater military achievements than Li Guang.
No minister could see the emperor's attitude beyond words, and who would oppose it at this time?
"Given the title of Wu Huai, Jade, Gold, Purple Light, and the rank of Doctor."
"Give me the title of Duke of the State, and grant the title of 300 households."
"Advantage to Zhuguo!"
The emperor's golden mouth speaks to the emperor, and his words are like nine cauldrons.
Instead, the emperor hesitated for a moment.
Wu Huaiyu's hometown was merged with the state, and he could be granted the title Duke of Jin. This title has not been given to anyone yet, but Jin was a big country in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it was not appropriate to give this title to Wu Huaiyu based on his qualifications.
For example, in the current court, Pei Ji is the Duke of Wei, Qin Qiong is the Duke of Qi, Changsun Wuji is the Duke of Zhao, Liu Wenjing's son is the Duke of Lu, Yuchi Gong is the Duke of Wu, Xiao Yu is the Duke of Song, and Li Ji is the Duke of Cao.
As for Qin Guogong, this was Li Shimin's previous title.
Duan Zhixuan was previously named Duke of Chu, but soon changed his title to Duke of Fan.
The titles of the four princes of Qin, Chu, Jin and Yan are all empty now.
The ancestor of Wu Huaiyu was Wu Hu in the Han Dynasty, who was granted the title of Zouhou of Liang. The feudal state was in Zou County, Qizhou today. According to this, he could be granted the title of Duke of Zou. However, now that Duke of Zou has been granted the title, Zhang Gongjin, the hero of Xuanwu Sect, Dingyuan County Duke, was appointed as the governor of Daizhou, and he and Yang Shidao Zhaofuyuan
Jun Zhang has meritorious service, and he was granted the title of Duke Zou of Jin not long ago.
The emperor hesitated for a moment on this title.
He originally wanted to change the title of Warrior Xun to Duke Ying of Zhou Guogong and give it to Wu Huaiyu, but after thinking about it, he still was undecided.
"Wu Huaiyu's title as Duke of the State, I have several titles, which one do you think is suitable?"
The emperor proposed four titles: Wei Guogong, Yi Guogong, Liang Guogong, and Ying Guogong, and asked the ministers to help choose.
When Wu Huaiyu destroyed the Liang Dynasty, it was appropriate for him to be granted the title Duke of Liang. As for Weiyi, it was naturally the name of an ancient pre-Qin country, and it also literally had a good meaning. It meant protecting and winging the country. Ying Guogong was the title given before the warrior Xun.
Of course, Yi Guogong was also titled before Qin Qiong.
The warrior Xun is the uncle of Wu Huaiyu clan, and Qin Qiong is his adoptive father.
Under normal circumstances, it is more appropriate to be titled by the Duke of the State. After all, Samurai Yu is a member of the Wu family.
Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others all thought that Duke Yi was more suitable.
So the emperor happily agreed.
"Zhongshu Sheren drafted an edict to confer Wu Huaiyu, a scholar of Chongwen Palace, as the Duke of Yiguo, granting him three hundred real seals, and a total of four hundred households in front of him.
Enter Jin Ziguanglu, Doctor, and add Zhu Guo."
Fortunately, the emperor didn't add an iron coupon at the end to avoid death once or twice.
When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he gave iron coupons to many of his distinguished ministers to avoid death, but it was of no use at all. On the contrary, many of the meritorious officials who had received the iron coupons were killed. For example, Liu Wenjing got two pieces, but in the end he was still given death penalty.
Zhao Shike also got a piece, but was also killed.
There was also Li Zhongwen, the general manager of Bingzhou, who also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. However, because he was Li Mi's uncle, he was unjustly killed by Li Yuan in the end.
Today, forty-nine meritorious officials were actually awarded, but fortunately no one was given a gold medal for immunity from death. After all, Li Shimin also received two gold medals for immunity from death, but he almost lost his life. He knew very well whether this thing was useful or not.
Nine ranks of meritorious officials were awarded.
Wu Huaiyu now has 400 households sealed, which is the eighth level. In the same level are Li Jing, Du Yan, Zhang Liang, Fan Xing, Qian Jiulong, Gongsun Wuda, Li Mengchang, Duan Zhixuan, Pang Yunqing, and Yuan Zhongwen.
.
It is a level higher than Ma Sanbao, Qin Xingshi, Li Zihe, Zhang Changxun, Zhang Pinggao and Li Anyuan.
You must know that Ma Sanbao and others are not ordinary. Ma Sanbao and Qin Xingshi, Zhang Pinggao, and Li Anyuan were all veterans of the Emperor's rebellion. Zhang Changxun and Li Zihe were all heroes in the separatist regime in the late Sui Dynasty. Zhang Changxun was in the separatist regime in Fengzhou, Hetao.
Li Zihe, whose original name was Guo Zihe, was a separatist ruler in Yulin, Shengzhou. He was surrendered to the Tang Dynasty one after another, and his status was quite special.
Those in the ninth rank are not the new emperor’s confidants.
But in the eighth stage, the Supreme Emperor and the new Emperor's confidants are equally divided, including Du Yan, Zhang Liang, Fan Xing, Gongsun Wuda, Li Mengchang, Duan Zhixuan, etc.
Now Wu Huaiyu has successfully squeezed into this category.
The actual number of meritorious officials was originally forty-eight, and later Wu Huaiyu was added. However, Luo Yi was executed for rebelling, and he was removed from all the titles of the third-tier 1,200 households. He is still forty-eight now.
"Summon Duan Decao, the governor of Xiazhou, to the court and pay homage to General Zuo Wuwei."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, everyone immediately understood that he must make way for Wu Huaiyu.
Duan Decao had been in Yanzhou for the past ten years, and he had never been successful against Liangshi. However, his reputation was not very good, and he was greedy and lustful, but the court had never dealt with him. Now he was transferred to the governor of Xiazhou for only half a year and was summoned to the court.
Although he was promoted to the general of the Twelve Guards, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a promotion that was promoted secretly, or that he retired after his success.
Wu Huaiyu, on the other hand, really rose to prominence this time.
Sure enough, the emperor went on to say, "The governor of Lingzhou, the governor of Yanzhou, Wu Huaiyu, the governor of Yanzhou, and the governor of Xiazhou are also governors, and the governor Xia Suiyin is superior in military affairs."
The emperor readjusted it.
Abolish the Yanzhou Dudufu, and put the two prefectures of Fu and Fang under the original jurisdiction of the Fufu, as well as Danzhou after the previous cancellation of the Danzhou Dudufu, under the jurisdiction of the Yanzhou Dudufu, and manage the four prefectures of Yanzhou, Dan, Fu, and Fang.
.
Suizhou was placed under Xiazhou.
Yanzhou still returns to Lingzhou.
The Dudu's Office of Huizhou was transferred to Huizhou, and the Dudu's Office of Lingzhou was in charge of the four prefectures of Lingzhou, Hui, Yan and You.
Wonju was placed under the Gyeongju Governor's Office, and the Gyeongju Governor's Office governed Gyeongsang, Won, Ning, and Ping.
This time, Huizhou Dudu's Mansion, Yanzhou Dudu's Mansion, and Jingzhou were brought under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
The four governor's offices of Ling, Qing, Xia and Yan are all the central governor's offices.
Yang Gongren was the governor of Lingzhou, Duan Lun was the governor of Qingzhou, Wu Huaiyu was the governor of Xiazhou, and Fan Xing was the governor of Yanzhou.
Along the northern Shaanxi front line, these four governor's offices were established, each of which was responsible for the four prefectures.
Wu Huaiyu was so promoted that he envied all the officials in the palace.
The Governor of the Central Governor's Office, a third-grade official with real duties, is truly a high-ranking official in the border areas.
At this time, although some people want to say that Wu Huaiyu is only nineteen and has only been an official for more than a year. It is too much to be a governor now, but even the veteran Wei Zheng thinks that he should be a duke. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui also think that Wu Huaiyu is only nineteen.
Not to mention the emperor's attitude when it comes to sealing him.
Who comes out to spoil the atmosphere at this time?
This is the enviable thing about the emperor's favorites. As long as they have merit, there will be no delay at all.
Those who have merit must be rewarded, and even rewarded more.
"The more than three thousand Lingyan Xiayan cavalry currently in Wu Huaiyu's hands will be assigned to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion."
The emperor gave Wu Huaiyu the task of wiping out the remnants of the Liang Kingdom, and gave Wu Huaiyu an imperial edict that if necessary, troops and horses from the surrounding Ling, Qing, and Yan governorates could be seconded to assist.
······
Yongxingfang.
Mrs. Pei had just returned from taking her daughter to visit the East Market with her daughter Wu, the wife of Ma Zhou, who was involved in the incident, when she saw a large group of people coming over, beating gongs and drums.
"Good news, good news!"
There are also bad people from Wannian County who are paving the way.
This large group of people went straight to the gate of the Wu family next door and kept shouting the good news.
The steward of the Wu family came out.
It turned out that it was Wu Huaiyu who granted him the title of Duke of Yi and the title of Zhuguo. He was promoted to the imperial minister of Jin Dynasty, Ziguanglu, and was promoted to the governor of Xiazhou. The Ministry of Rites took the initiative to add a halberd to Wu Huaiyu.
The Duke of Guo brings Zhu Guo and the Governor, and Wu Huaiyu can now be ranked among the twelve halberds.
The Ministry of Industry also sent people over to improve the Wutou gate of the Wu family, as well as the vestibule and hall, to make them taller and wider, and to deepen the gatehouse.
Even the roof needs to be replaced with a more advanced form.
They even had to help make and replace the plaque for Duke Yi's Mansion.
As for these, the emperor has decrees and the inner government pays for them, so the Wu family does not need to pay for them out of their own pockets.
Immediately afterwards, another group of people came over.
But he came to give Wu Huaiyu's mother and wife a royal title.
The Wu Liu family granted the title of Mrs. Yiguo, and the Fan family granted the title of Mrs. Yiguo.
Even Wu Huaiyu's father, Samurai Ke, benefited from his son's honor and was promoted to the rank of Tongzhilang from the sixth rank.
The palace also rewarded many items, including gold urns, silver bottles, gold and silver Kaiyuan Tongbao, gold knives, miscellaneous colors, etc.
Mrs. Pei brought her daughter to Wu's house to congratulate her.
Yesterday she was granted the title of Lady of the County, and today the Liu family and the Fan family of the Wu family were granted the title of Lady of the State. I never expected that Wu Huaiyu would be so great.
The county official directly enfeoffed the country's duke, and an additional 300 households were granted the title of official enfeoffment.
Fan Xuanfu was very happy even though he was pregnant for more than nine months. "Mrs. Yi Guo, this title sounds comfortable to me."
Fan Xuanfu, who had become much plumper during her pregnancy, had a bright face and was extremely happy.
Maybe I was too happy, but suddenly I felt abdominal pain.
"Madam, it's time to give birth."
Ms. Pei had also given birth to several children, and she immediately felt pain as she held Fan Xuanfu. Fortunately, the Wu family was well prepared. As soon as Fan Xing became pregnant, she arranged for Po Wen, a nanny, and others to come to the Wu family.
As soon as there was pain here, I rushed back to the delivery room that had been prepared, and some stable women there rushed to help.
"Hurry up and heat the hot water."
Fan Xuanfu felt a sudden pain, but fortunately it was almost time.
Perhaps due to his martial arts training, he has always been in good physical condition, so the production of Fan Xuan Fu went smoothly. About an hour later, a loud cry echoed through the Wu family.
Po Wen came out excitedly to announce the good news.
"It's born, it's born,"
"Are you okay, aunt?" Mrs. Wu Liu asked her daughter-in-law first.
"Okay, everything is fine."
"Is it a son or a daughter?" Ms. Liu then asked.
"Congratulations, Madam, it's a great day!"
When Mrs. Wu Liu heard this, she was so excited that she couldn't stand still.
"Auntie, you are so proud. You have given birth to a baby boy. Today is a double happiness."
"Quick, go to the front hall to announce the good news."
Jianyi rushed to the front hall to announce the good news to the warrior Ke and others who had been waiting anxiously for the news.
When Lao Wu heard that he had given birth to a grandson, his face lit up with joy.
People were buzzing excitedly, "Hurry up and get the money. Give me a reward. Everyone will get a reward today!"
"Also, write a letter to Huaiyu, saying that Fan gave birth to a big fat boy for him and that he is a father."
Everyone in the Wu family was crazy with joy.
This child was born with an aura. He was the eldest son of Wu Huaiyu. Although he was not the eldest grandson of Wu's family, he was still the eldest grandson.
But the day of his birth was chosen well. His father was born on the day when his father Jin Feng was Duke Yi, and his mother was Feng Yi's wife. He was really good at choosing the right time.
After the child was washed and wrapped, had his first milk, and fell asleep happily, Mrs. Wu Liu took her eldest grandson to the front yard to show Lao Wu and the others.
"Look at my eldest grandson. He is so white and fat. He weighs six pounds and four ounces."
Six pounds and forty taels, the weight of a thousand yuan. Lao Wu was very happy when he heard it, Ji Qing.
"She looks exactly like Huaiyu. Look at that little nose. Is there a small mole on it too?"
"It really is."
Lao Wu looked at his eldest grandson and danced happily. Although his grandson had eaten, drank, and slept, Zhengxiang ignored him, but he was still happy.
"This is the eldest grandson of my old Wu family. I think he should be called Chengsi and he will inherit our Wu family business."
Wu Chengsi yawned, opened his big eyes, and stared at a group of people, seemingly very satisfied with the name.
"You see, this kid likes this name. Hahaha. My good grandson wrote to Erlang and said that I named my eldest grandson Chengsi. My eldest grandson likes it very much."
