Chapter 222 7.38 The Earl's Internal Finishing
Chapter 7

7.38 Earlship, internal closure

On July 13th of the [-]th year of Yongzheng, there was a grand court meeting in front of Qianqing Gate.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is Wei Xu, the commander of the Jinling Guard, who first got the honor of Xie Yuan in the Jiangnan Province Township Examination, and then joined the army as a thousand households in the army.

In this campaign, Wei Xu killed Li Feipeng, the puppet general of Qianxiang thief, and defended the city gate regardless of safety, and made the first contribution to the recovery of Nanguan, the number one Xiongguan in South Tiannan.

General Wei has now been ordered to live in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but foreign troops are ordered to enter Beijing, and they are not allowed to leave the station unless they are ordered. Yesterday, a special memorial was sent, and I request to see you today! "Niu Jizong started the procedure with a serious face.

"Is General Wei here? Hahaha, good, good!" Emperor Yongzheng stood up from the dragon chair with joy, as if he wasn't the one who wanted to strangle Wei Xu to death, "It's just where is he now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the commander of the guards is waiting outside the palace gate, please forgive me for bringing foreign generals close to the palace gate without permission!" Niu Jizong continued the procedure.

"Hey (three beeps)—" Emperor Yongzheng waved his hands with a smile on his face, "Niu Aiqing can do something special for a hero. He has made meritorious deeds, so how can he say atonement? Why don't you let General Wei come over?"

"Xuan—Jinling Guard Commander Wei Xu—see you!" Dai Quan immediately shouted in a drawn-out voice, once or twice, "Xuan—Jinling Guard Commander Wei Xu—see you!"

Immediately afterwards, the same message resounded throughout the palace, passing through the palace gates one after another, until it reached the ears of Wei Xu who had been waiting outside the palace gate.

"Chen——Wei Xu, Commander of the Jinling Guard—see my emperor! May my emperor live long, long live, long live!" In formal occasions, there must be procedures and slogans that should be followed.

"Hahaha, please get up, Wei Aiqing!" Emperor Yongzheng not only said "please get up", but also stepped down the imperial steps himself, and stretched out his hand in front of Wei Xu to help him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Xu stood up.

"Everyone, Aiqing Wei, I think you are already aware of the merits of Wei Aiqing. I, Dashun, established the country with martial arts, and have always rewarded military exploits generously. This time is no exception!" Emperor Yongzheng waved his hand with a smile on his face, " deliver an imperial order!"

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Today there is Wei Xu, the commander of the Jinling Guard, who has joined the army with the name of Jieyuan. !

Feng Weixu was named Pingyuan Bo, allowed him not to descend to the next generation, and gave him an iron certificate for the alchemy book, and rewarded him with bullfighting clothes.
His wife, the Qin family, was granted the title of countess according to the law, and her son was named captain of cavalry!
With his position as earl, according to the law, he confers his two wifes as fourth-rank respectful people, and the Ministry of Rites will do it quickly.

The aunt, Mrs. Wei, is the countess, and she gave a royal banquet to show her upbringing virtue!

Brother Wei Lan was originally a thousand households in Langfang, and he was specially awarded the title of commander and acquaintance, so he filled in every vacancy!

Other meritorious personnel of Jinling Guard will be rewarded and promoted according to the law—leader, thank you! "

"Chen Weixu thanked Lord Long En!" Continue to shout slogans according to the rules!
However, although these titles and rewards sound extremely shocking, there must be no fools who can stand at the Great Court Meeting. Everyone can see that what is given here is all spectacle, and there is no real thing!
For example, if you have made such a great contribution, you should be promoted and reused anyway, right?I'm sorry, I didn't mention a single word here, and I didn't even give a symbolic title.

Is such a reward light?It's not light, as the so-called "conferring a wife and a son", the second wife of the Wei family alone has been given two world titles, one is naturally the Earl of Pingyuan, and the other can be given to the non-prince's cavalry captain!
Even the Wei family's direct line got a big advantage. Mrs. Wei was just a pleasant person, but now she gave the countess the same treatment as the count's mother, and even Wei Ruolan got a lot of money!

To put it bluntly, the sum of this pile of rewards is not only not light to Wei Xu's credit, but also very generous. The royal family is really very generous!
But still the same sentence, there are no fools who can go to the Great Court Meeting. Everyone realized that if there were no too special circumstances, Wei Xu might be in the position of Jinling Guard Commander until his death!

Even as the rewarded party, Wei Xu has to express it according to the rules, and don’t mention things like long live and other slogans. The most basic thing is military power. After the battle is over, there is no need for your tiger and wolf army to stay. Are you asleep?

That is to say, Wei Xu's level is not so exaggerated. If it is replaced by those marshals who lead the army, there is another procedure that must be followed, that is, should the soldier amulet be handed in?

Then there is the seal of the Wei family's descendant Zhongyong Bo's mansion. In fact, Wei Xu has already completed the separation process with that side, and the two are not considered a family according to the etiquette, let alone him and Mrs. Wei and Wei Ruolan. Everyone in the capital knows about their relationship!
Of course, if he can still make great contributions in the future, then of course everything is easy to talk about. The problem is that all fools know that unless foreign enemies really hit the capital and require a "King of Qin" war, Wei Xu will never even think about making contributions in this life!

Therefore, even though he was knighted and became a military honor, when he left after the Great Court Meeting, he didn't even meet anyone to say hello except Wu Xun, and many people even looked at him with sympathetic eyes.It doesn't matter, Wei Xu didn't take it seriously at all, because he never thought of being a loyal minister to this cold-natured emperor. He just got the current position, and in fact it was to better develop his own power!
That night, Niu Jizong personally hosted a banquet in the VIP courtyard on the back mountain of Tongfu Inn, which was supposed to "celebrate the birth of another Earl".

On the main table of ten people, more than 20 delicious dishes exude a mouth-watering aroma, and the sweet wine is enough to make any alcoholic drool on the spot.

There was a banquet of eight people at twelve tables, and all the patriarchs of Wu Xun's lineage who were still active in the entire capital were present, and they even brought their sons specially to show their closeness.

But it did not correspond to such a grand scene at all. The atmosphere on the scene was very dull. The dishes on the table did not move, and there was no noise in the audience, not even anyone breathing heavily.

"Unexpectedly, this one is so cold." After a long time, Niu Jizong, who was sitting on the main seat, let out a long sigh of relief, but his tone was still extremely cold.

"This is to make it clear that Nephew Wei Xian's future will be cut off, so that he can take care of himself in the future." Han Chuan, who was transferred back this time to serve as the right servant of the Ministry of War, also said bitterly, "However, Nephew Wei Xian is not even in his twenties now. ah!"

"Uncles, why worry too much, Jinling is the foundation of my Wu Xun lineage. Even if my nephew doesn't move anymore, I can guarantee that I will take care of my family. Maybe in the future, when I mention the Wei family, I will be the first thing that comes to mind. What about the Jinling Wei family?

What's more, my nephew is still young, and there is still a long time in the future. There are too many things that may happen. Who dares to say how many things will change in a few decades? "On the contrary, Wei Xu himself didn't care about it.

For example, military generals who serve outside the country after being knighted are required to keep their family members in the capital according to the rules. This is also the implied meaning of the so-called "Decree to build XX mansion", that is, to leave "hostages".

However, Wei Xu's situation is special. Even if the emperor personally confessed to "build the Pingyuanbo mansion", he does not plan to live in it for a day, and he also believes that the royal family will not make a fuss about this matter, because there are traps in it. Understand.

This is the case in the court, even if everyone wants to destroy the eighteen generations of each other's ancestors in private, but on the surface they still have to put on a scene of "Hello, I, Hello, everyone".

With the three assassinations on the canal as a basis, no one dared to mention Wei Xu's practice of not daring to leave his family members in the capital but bringing them all to Jinling. Otherwise, Wei Xu would not have needed to say anything "Thorough investigation" can push back!

By the way, these three assassinations have already been determined. Before the news of Wei Xu's formal knighthood spread, the imperial court announced the investigation results of the three assassinations.

"What Nephew Wei Xian said is that with such a long time in the future, who knows what the outcome will be!" Liu Fang forcefully smoothed things over, "When there is another war next time, who dares to say that the Dashun Dynasty will not return?" One more duke?"

"Hahaha——" the scene laughed out loud, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic for a while.

The guests and hosts at a banquet had a good time, and after all the peripheral personnel left, the core of the current honorable lineage still remained in the small courtyard.

"Uncle Niu, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Hou, what happened this time is not authentic, right?" Since everyone present is the core, he naturally stopped talking around circles. What Wei Xu mentioned was that the three princes wanted to lead troops when they were transferred away. leave things.

"Uh--hahaha!" Niu Jizong smiled awkwardly, after all, he had arranged for this matter first, and it was indeed unreasonable, "My nephew is able to train like this, so I don't think he cares about how many people are missing.

Of course, I'm sure I can't let you do it for nothing. After our efforts this time, all the deputy Qianhu under your command have been promoted to Qianhu according to your requirements, and all of them have been given the rank of commander!
But there is one thing you must remember, we took away these three thousand households, not only because we took a fancy to your elite, but also to reassure the higher-ups, no matter what, a tiger-wolf division with more than 6000 people is placed Jinling is not very good-looking! "

"For five thousand households, I will only leave three hundred households with one step, one cavalry, and one crossbow, plus some supporting personnel. fine riding.

But I must be allowed to raise 500 servants, and the three thousand households you took away can only take away soldiers. I will keep all the officers above the general banner, and I will not let any one go! "Wei Xu gritted his teeth and said with an expression of suffering a big loss.

"Okay!" Niu Jizong nodded happily.
