The family was chatting happily, and a servant came to report outside the door that the emperor had issued an imperial edict.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not need to burn incense and bathe in an exaggerated way to welcome the imperial edict, basic respect was still needed. Fang Xuanling brought his whole family to the main gate to greet the imperial edict.
The one who came to deliver the decree was Wang De, the most trusted leader of the chamberlain around His Majesty Li Er.
With a smile on his face, the old eunuch first bowed politely to Fang Xuanling and Princess Gaoyang, then entered the main hall surrounded by Fang's family, stood in the hall, and opened the imperial edict in his hand.
"Under the family: The Fang family is full of people, all of them are loyal and good. A family that has accumulated good deeds will surely be happy. The prince-in-law Fang is Jun, has a brilliant literary talent, is noble and thrifty, follows without hesitation, has a sound track, his character is righteous, and his behavior is good.
Yun Wen Yun Wu, the guideline of the four directions. I hereby entitle Fang Jun as the Marquis of Huating County, the founding state of the third rank, and lead the military guard general on the right. He will be in charge of the marching affairs of Canghaidao. I hope that you will live up to the divine grace and fulfill your duties..."
I don’t know who drafted this imperial edict. Everyone in the Fang family felt a little blushing when they heard it.
Knowledgeable and rational? Honest and harmonious? Honest, harmonious and kind.
Return the righteousness of his nature and his good deeds...
Does it sound so fake?
Fang Jun's eyes twitched, and he cursed in his heart, "Isn't this a curse? It sounds like rhetoric and praise, but in fact it's all irony!"
Li Er, Li Er, you are an emperor after all, are you too petty?
Needless to say, His Majesty Li Er wants to promote Fang Jun to his position and use him to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River and open up the East China Sea route, but he is also unhappy with him for always causing trouble for the emperor again and again...
The desire for revenge is too strong!
However, apart from the "irony" throughout the article, the rest of the content made Fang Jun very satisfied.
From the founding of the third rank of the country, the Marquis of Huating County is a title, the General of Youwuwei is an official rank, and the general in charge of the marching affairs of Canghaidao is a position.
The rank of General Youwuwei is just an idle official position. Basically every prince-in-law starts as a prince-in-law and is then promoted to a general of a certain guard. Of course, for other princes-in-law, this promotion process may take ten, twenty or even ten years.
For a lifetime, Fang Jun married Princess Gaoyang yesterday, and now he is General Youwuwei. It can be said that he is very fast.
The person in charge of the Canghaidao Marching Affairs is commonly known as the "Canghaidao Marching Chief". This is just a position, not an official rank, nor permanent, but it has great power. Almost everything that goes out to sea is under Fang Jun's control
!
Moreover, you can’t let the entire Grand Administrative Office float on the sea, and you have to set up an area on land as a base. No matter which state, prefecture or county it is, this base exists above the local government.
Who told Fang Jun that the level of the general manager was too high?
This is the agreement between Fang Jun and His Majesty Li Er, and it has the proper meaning in the title. The third-rank Marquis of Huating County is His Majesty Li Er's compensation for the past.
only……
According to the historical knowledge Fang Jun knows, Huating County was not established until the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, the area is mostly saline-alkali land and tidal flats. At most, it is just a few small fishing villages. How can there be a county government?
And even if there are, there probably won’t be many people...
All the Fang family members accepted the order and thanked him.
Fang Jun asked Wang De to stay for a cup of tea and rest, but Wang De declined, saying that there were still matters in the palace and that he would go back to resume his duties. After Fang Jun accepted the imperial edict, he took his leave.
Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty were treated as incomparable treasures that could not be desecrated. After receiving the imperial edicts, ministers had to put them in a high cabinet and store them properly, and were not allowed to show them to others. The family members in the hall passed the imperial edicts back and forth,
Praise.
The most excited person is Lu...
Fang Xuanling's title is Liang Guogong. This title can only be inherited by the eldest son in the future. In the past, this would have been no problem. As the eldest son, Fang Yizhi inherited the family business and his father's position.
But after Fang Jun's strong rise, this "natural and right" became less solid, especially when he married Princess Gao Yang, which made it even worse. Once Fang Jun was interested in this title, with his own strength, coupled with Gao Yang
The princess was supporting her from behind, and Fang Yi was afraid that she would not be able to fight against her.
Brothers fighting endlessly for titles is a sign of a prodigal family...
Now, Mr. Lu has let go of a big stone in his heart.
This is the Founding County Duke, and Princess Gaoyang, His Majesty's favorite daughter, is here. In time, it is not impossible to advance to the next level and become the Founding County Duke, or even the Founding County Duke. By then, the title will be the same as that of the Duke.
They are not far apart. Presumably the two brothers will not turn against each other over such a title and cause trouble to Xiao Qiang.
And since he has become a prince-in-law, he will probably not think that he was deprived of his title because of a trivial matter like before...
Princess Gaoyang pouted slightly, a little dissatisfied.
"My father is so stingy that he only gave him a third-grade marquis. He must be a prince after all. Otherwise, what's the difference between him and other consorts?"
In her opinion, Fang Jun was originally a marquis, but he was just deprived of it. Her father now restored the title but did not go further, which was a bit stingy...
That's not what Fang Jun cares about. He will live in the south from now on, and he won't have to go to court often. It's not a big deal to wear purple or crimson official uniforms. He is more concerned about his fiefdom...
Fiefs are based on titles.
For example, Fang Xuanling's Liang Guogong, "Liang" was one of the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his address was probably near Kaifeng, where Fang Xuanling's fiefdom was located.
As for the county princes who were several levels lower than the Duke of the country, the fiefdom could not be a prominent place in such ancient vassal states.
Why is Guan Yu's "Han Shoutinghou" controversial?
Isn’t it just because Hanshou was not famous in ancient times?
According to "The Biography of Guan Yu" in Volume 36 of "Three Kingdoms", in the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao granted Guan Yu the title of "Han Shoutinghou". As for whether "Han Shoutinghou" is Han Shoutinghou or Han Shoutinghou, there has always been a debate
There are two views: one view is that the "Han" in "Han Shoutinghou" is the name of the dynasty, "Shoutinghou" is the title of his title, and the fiefdom is in the place of "Shouting", or it is simply a nice name.
, that is, "Han" is the name of the dynasty. Another view is that "Hanshou" in "Hanshou Tinghou" is the place name, and "Tinghou" is the title of the title, that is, "Hanshou" is the place name, and it is the fiefdom in
The "Tinghou" of "Hanshou".
Maybe my "Huating Hou" is similar to the previous explanation of "Han Shouting Hou"...
I couldn't figure out whether Huating County had been established during the Zhenguan period, so I had to ask Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was also a little confused...
It’s true that he was the prime minister of the dynasty and he was in charge of government affairs across the country, but it’s impossible for everyone in the country to have heard about it and have an impression of it, right?
The old man tugged at his beard and thought hard, but he still couldn't remember where this place was.
Fang Jun was a little desperate...
At this time, King Li Yuanjia of Han saw that his father-in-law was confused, so he interjected: "I have heard of this place called Huating."
After that, it was cool.
Naturally, it was impossible for Fang Xuanling to ask his son-in-law "Where is Huating?" It was a bit embarrassing for the prime minister to know where the country was.
And Fang Jun just glanced at Li Yuanjia, without even the slightest intention of asking.
This guy still remembers what happened when Li Yuanjia beat him secretly in front of his father just now...
Li Yuanjia originally wanted to show off his knowledge in front of his father-in-law, but unexpectedly he was left in the cold, which was a bit embarrassing...
Princess Fang glanced at her father, then at her second brother who was looking at the beam, then stretched out her hand and pinched Li Yuanjia's arm, and said angrily: "You are the only one who can do it, right? Just say it if you know it, no." Just shut up if you know it, why are you trying to sell it!"
He scolded Li Yuanjia and helped him out.
Li Yuanjia hurriedly climbed down the pole and said with an apologetic smile: "What the princess said is absolutely true. I know I am wrong... This Huating is located in the suburbs of Suzhou and belongs to Kunshan County. It was originally a station of the Navy. Due to the permanent presence of troops stationed there, it gradually became more and more popular." It developed into a market town. Under the organization of His Highness the King of Wei, I participated in the compilation of "Tuo Di Zhi", and happened to be responsible for the collection and organization of the Jiangnan area. I have seen this place name in the Suzhou Prefecture Chronicle."
After saying this, he looked at Fang Jun with a slightly proud look.
Although I am not as talented and talented as you, and I cannot write such famous poems and quatrains that are popular and will last forever, but I don’t give it to you in vain! I have all the success in my heart!
However, Fang Jun couldn't care less about Li Yuanjia's showoff, he was already dumbfounded...
Your Majesty, your Majesty, are you being too stingy if you grant a town in the countryside, a remote area, and a gathering of soldiers, to a county prince as a fief?
