Chapter 84: Third-Rank Official Wei Yuan!

Chapter 84 A third-grade official—Wei Yuan!

Seven days after the feast.

Zichen Hall, court meeting.

Zhao Zhen was granted the title of meritorious official in the First World War of Daizhou.

The British Duke Zhang Fu was granted the title of Privy Envoy, in charge of military and state affairs.

Gu Yankai, Marquis of Ningyuan, served as the commander of the capital in front of the palace and was in charge of the imperial army.

Wei Yuan was the commander of the Imperial Guards and the Guards and Horse Guards, and the title of Earl of Zhongyong could be hereditary.

Xu Changzhi was granted the title of Viscount of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, deputy commander of the guard horse army, and guard of the army.

The commander of the bodyguards, horsemen, and armies has the rank of full fifth rank.

But this honorable officer, the Protector of the Army, is of the third rank.

Xu Changzhi's army guard was of the third rank, only below Wei Yuan.

This award cannot be said to be unceremonious.

Since Zhao Zhen had discussed it with Han Zhang and others before awarding the reward, no one from the civil and military officials had any objections.

Although Wei Yuan jumped from the fifth rank to the third rank, the title of Guard Army was still empty after all.

As for the commander of the guards, horses, and troops, he was only one of the three yamen. Although he had real power, his status was not high.

Zhao Zhen's reward to Wei Yuan was also carefully considered.

As for the rewards given to Zhang Fu, Gu Yankai and others, they were well deserved and no one dared to say anything.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Yuan's title became hereditary.

In other words, from this moment on, the Wei family with him as the center has become a noble family.

What shocked the officials was that the reward for Wei Yuan was not over yet.

"In the battle of Daizhou, if Wei Qing hadn't blocked the enemy from Yanmen, I'm afraid we wouldn't have won a great victory easily."

"Wei Qing's parents died young when he was young. Fortunately, his second sister raised him."

"I have thought over and over again and decided to confer the title of fifth-class honorable minister, Sheng Wei, the eldest sister of Wei Qing, and the sixth-class honorable title, Zhang Wei, the second sister of Wei Qing."

The implication is that Wei Yuan is miserable. He lost his parents when he was a child and was raised by his two sisters.

I should give rewards to Wei Yuan's two sisters.

Give his eldest sister the body of imperial edict, and give his second sister the body of imperial edict.

Although the second sister Wei Yuan only received an imperial order, she still had an official status anyway.

After all, Wei Shuyi's husband Sheng Hong had an official status, but Wei Ruyi's husband did not.

It's already good to get an edict.

only

As soon as the news came out, the entire court seemed to explode.

Zhang Wei and the others were not familiar with him.

Dan Shengwei

After Wei Yuan became famous, all the officials who paid more attention to him knew that Wei Yuan had a sister who was Sheng Hong's concubine.

Concubine's concubine's royal decree?

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this has rarely happened!

It's against etiquette!

Because it is a big meeting.

Sheng Hong also participated, but outside the palace.

At this moment, the officials outside the palace looked at Sheng Hong after hearing another reward from the emperor to Wei Yuan through the eunuch's retelling.

Even Sheng Hong was stunned.

Is my concubine Wei Shuyi pregnant?

In this way, isn't it higher than his own official position?

The officials outside the palace chattered non-stop.

In the palace, some censors have already begun to bombard Wei Yuan.

"Your Majesty, that's inappropriate! How can a mere concubine get the body of a royal decree? If a royal decree is imposed, wouldn't it be a waste of etiquette?"

"Please think twice, officials!"

"."

Wei Yuan frowned when he heard these objections.

He didn't expect that the resistance would be so great.

What does the appointment of my eldest sister have to do with them?

Everyone eats carrots and worries little.

Well. This itself is the responsibility of the censor.

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to suppress the matter by force. After all, he had agreed to Wei Yuan.

Moreover, he is really optimistic about Wei Yuan as a minister now.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhang Fu walking out of the line of officials and said:

"Your Majesty, I have been discussing with my wife for a long time and plan to adopt Wei Shuyi, Wei Yuan's eldest sister, as my goddaughter. I have thought about this matter and thought it would be better to tell Your Majesty."

What?

British father-in-law and his wife want to adopt a guardian as their goddaughter?

Not only were the officials surprised by this, but even Wei Yuan was shocked.

He cast a grateful look at Zhang Fu.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhang Fu meaningfully and said with a smile:

"That Wei Shuyi is the eldest sister of Uncle Zhongyong and the daughter of the British Duke."

"But it doesn't seem right to be a concubine and a minister in the Sheng family, right?"

"The matter of granting the imperial edict to the Shengwei family has been settled. If you have any objections, please go to court and talk to the British Duke."

Hear the words.

The corners of the censors' mouths twitched and their expressions were extremely ugly.

Who dares to cause trouble to the British public?

He is now a Privy Councilor!

In terms of power, he is second only to Prime Minister Han Zhang.

In terms of status, he is regarded as the Duke of the country!

Unless you are really not afraid of death

After the dispersion of the dynasty, special personnel had already issued the imperial edict to reward the Wei sisters.

It's easy to say that Wei Shuyi is in the capital, but this Wei Ruyi.

We can only trouble the angels who deliver the decree.

Wei Yuan now has an official position, but he is not in a hurry to order Mao for a while.

Zhao Zhen gave him and Xu Changzhi a full seven days of vacation.

During this time, Wei Yuan can take care of some family affairs.

After the dynasty dispersed, when leaving the imperial city, Wei Yuan asked Zhang Fu:

"Teacher, you two want to take my eldest sister as your daughter's wife, how come the students don't know?"

Zhang Fu said with a smile: "What? When I act as a teacher, I have to inform you in advance that I won't do it?"

Wei Yuan said: "That's not what the student meant."

Zhang Fu said: "The Zhang family and the Wei family, your teacher and you, have long been in the same boat. For the sake of the family, for the sake of you and me, your teacher should also accept your elder sister as his daughter."

Wei Yuan bowed solemnly and said: "Student, thank you, Master."

Zhang Fu helped him up, "You haven't had a chance to see the mansion that His Majesty rewarded you, right? Go and take a look."

Wei Yuan nodded, and then handed Zhang Fu several invitations.

There are invitations from Prince Yan, Prince Yong, and even Han Zhang.

Zhang Fu looked at them and frowned, saying: "Prince Yan and Prince Yong have been at loggerheads for many years. Don't get involved in their affairs. Find a reason, pay some money, and decline politely."

"As for Han Zhang's invitation, you can go, but don't act too intimate, otherwise, those military honors will think you are siding with outsiders."

Wei Yuan bowed and said: "Student will remember."

It's good to have an elder.

When in doubt, ask Zhang Fu, that's a good idea.

——

Sheng Family.

The imperial edict to award Wei Shuyi the imperial edict has been issued in front of all the Sheng family members.

Sheng Hong, who rushed home, quickly received the imperial edict.

Wang Ruofu was embarrassed. As the mistress of the house, she hadn't gotten an imperial edict yet.

Now, Wei Shuyi has gotten it!

However, what can she do now?

She has endured it many times, and this time is not bad.

She, the mistress, is afraid that she has become a decoration long ago.

Lin Qinshuang's face became even uglier.

From now on, in this mansion, with Wang Ruofu and Wei Shuyi as two big mountains, it will be difficult for her to turn over.

And Wei Shuyi was surprised.

Sheng Hong handed her the imperial edict and said:

"This is the imperial edict awarded to you by the emperor. It is reasonable to give it to you and keep it well."

Wei Shuyi took the imperial edict woodenly and murmured:

"I... I actually have an imperial edict?"

Old Lady Sheng came to Wei Shuyi with the help of Minglan and said with a smile:

"You can be granted an imperial edict thanks to your brother."

"Shuyi, although you have an imperial edict, remember that a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."

Wei Shuyi quickly came to his senses and bowed to Old Lady Sheng:

"I will keep your words in mind."

Old Lady Sheng was very satisfied to see that she was not impatient.

Sometimes, she felt that with Wei Shuyi's temperament, she was suitable to be the mistress of the Sheng family.

Half an hour later.

Mu Cang Zhai.

Minglan looked at the imperial edict again and again, and kept muttering:

"Is this the imperial decree? Mother, do you think my daughter can also have an imperial edict in the future?"

Wei Shuyi shook her head and smiled.

She was grateful to be given an imperial edict by the government.

But, the mood of the eldest lady must be taken care of.

Even if she is an official, she must live in the Sheng family.

She must not destroy the harmony of the family.

——

Inside the mansion of the loyal and brave marquis.

A nanny named Zhang was organizing the servants and maids in the mansion to stand in the courtyard.

"I am a maid who has served the lady since I was a child. You can just call me Nanny Zhang."

"From now on, I will stay in this mansion and take care of all the big and small things in the mansion."

"Before, the master of the family followed the Duke of England to go to war, so you were lazy in the mansion, so it was fine."

"Today, the master of the family will enter the mansion. You must be very alert. If anyone is lazy again, be careful of the family rules!"

Dozens of servants and maids bowed hurriedly, "Yes, Nanny Zhang."

Zhang Guifen has not married yet.

Wei Yuan is a warrior.

There must be someone to take care of all the big and small things in the family.

This Nanny Zhang is deeply trusted by Mrs. Zhang, so she sent her here.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was standing outside the mansion of the Loyal and Brave Earl, looking at the plaque written by the emperor himself, Wei Yuan was in a trance.

I have been in this world for many years, and now I have a family.

A servant guarding the door saw Wei Yuan and immediately reported to the mansion:

"The master has returned home!"

"The master has returned home!"

"."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled.

Needless to say, these servants were all arranged by the master's wife.

He did not refuse this kindness.

Such a large mansion needs more people to feel like a 'home'.
