Chapter 971 Knighted

This post-sealing ceremony almost slapped all civil servants in the face.

How did Zhang Minghe not know that Zhang Quanjin was blaming himself? He also couldn't understand Zhang Quanjin's arrogance. He raised his head with stern eyes, "My lord Zhang, I heard that the reason why the emperor postponed his enthronement ceremony was to schedule it on the same day as the queen's ceremony. The reason why the post-sealing ceremony was postponed is because the Dragon Neck needs time to carve."

"Originally Shang Baosi didn't need to prepare for such a long time, but this Panlong Niu was carved by the emperor himself. I don't know if Mr. Zhang is in the hall today, ready to go out, what's the important thing to report?"

Zhang Quanjin sneered again and again, "It is precisely because the emperor carved the dragon ring himself, so Mr. Zhang thinks that it should be used as the queen's gold treasure? Mr. Zhang has read a lot of poetry and books. Please explain, I don't know from ancient times to the present. In which dynasty or generation, the queen's gold treasure is actually matched with a dragon button?"

Zhang Minghe's face was flushed, but he also knew that if he really confronted Zhang Quanjin in this value room today, he would not be good, and the empress dowager would definitely not allow it.

Zhang Minghe swallowed a mouthful of bad breath and restrained his anger, "Master Zhang, it doesn't make any sense to say these angry words now. I heard that the emperor has issued an order to the six ministries to select outstanding talents for the emperor's election. Now the cabinet There are only four people in total, and we have already handed over the candidates recommended by the court, but the emperor has not issued an order for a long time. Besides, is there still a lot of arbitrary things about the emperor's actions? At the beginning, the post-conferment ceremony and the enthronement ceremony were in the same ceremony, and we Did you win the fight?"

No!

Zhang Quanjin snorted coldly, "At the beginning, who fought? Except you and me, who fought?"

He looked at Zeng Shiyi and Chi Yude, the two looked at their noses, their noses at their hearts, and neither made a sound, pretending not to hear, their self-cultivation was astonishingly good.

Zhang Quan stood up vigorously, "It's been ten years in the cold window, and I entered the court as an official. I don't want to invite the emperor to favor me, or become a treacherous minister. I don't care how you choose. Don't even try to stop me!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Quanjin quickly walked out of the guard room.

Chi Yude sneered, and asked Zhang Minghe, "Master Zhang, why did you stop another Master Zhang today? Could it be that you stood a little closer to him, for fear of being caught in the water?"

How could Zhang Minghe not understand the teasing in Chi Yude's words? "Standing close" is not just talking about today's ranking in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Zhang Minghe didn't care about it. He just sighed and asked, "Lord Chi, what else can the cabinet do in the future?"

"The emperor doesn't like being restrained. Since we insist on restraining the emperor everywhere, the emperor must make me uncomfortable. Don't you see where Xiliang and Beiqi are now?" Chi Yude didn't want to say more.

Zhang Minghe also knew that the two factions were now in conflict. He stood up, cupped his hands, and left.

Chi Yude said to Zeng Shiyi, "My lord, the chief assistant, the subordinate officials also leave!"

Only Zeng Shiyi was left in the duty room. He couldn't help but think of the bustle and bustle at home yesterday. There was news from the palace that Zeng Yaoqi would accompany his wife into the palace today to congratulate the empress.

The wife of the in-laws soon came and proposed to take Zeng Yaoqi's mother and daughter home, and said that the prostitute could be expelled or executed, but Zeng Shiyi did not agree, and the Zhou family had already fallen into the eyes of the new emperor. Well, Jiangsu and Zhejiang may have to reshuffle the cards. In the future, the Zhou family will be in a slump, so there is no need for him to involve his daughter in this kind of time.

In the Kunning Palace, Xie Zhiwei accepts the congratulations from the wives inside and outside. In the north, there is a guard of honor, female music, two inner praises, two introductions, and two introductions. After being promoted to the seat, lead the ceremony to the empress, perform eight salutes, then invite the six nobles and other female officials to salute, and then lead four ranks and above to perform four salutes, and give congratulatory speeches.

After all the civil and military officials put up their petitions, the wives sent letters of congratulations. These were followed by etiquette lessons, and the empress ordered them back.

Zeng Yaoqi followed her mother to congratulate the queen, her status was not enough to participate in such etiquette, Zeng Shiyi knew that this was the empress empress who was praising her daughter.

The post-sealing ceremony lasted for five days. These days, Xie Zhiwei was exhausted. He had to wear a heavy dress and a heavy phoenix crown to deal with etiquette during the day, and he had to deal with Xiao Xun at night.

After finally resting, Xiao Xun began to reward the soldiers who accompanied him in the west and north wars, first of all, the Xie family, Xie Yuanbai, no matter his military achievements or his status as a descendant, were all conferred titles, Xiao Xun named Xie Yuanbai the Duke of Jin, thank you Uncle Xie Xiaoguo got his wish and became an official and was named the son of the prince.

Xu Liang was named Uncle Huining, and Xie Zhihui became Mrs. Uncle. It was a great joy to be a twin uncle, but when Uncle Yongxin heard about it, his face was pale, and he understood the emperor's intentions. The title of the new earl has come to an end in his generation.

Nan'anbo Mansion was successfully seized, and Chu Yining was conferred the title of Marquis Wu Ding. On the day the imperial decree was issued, the old uncle fainted on the spot, and Xiao Han couldn't stop crying.

Zheng Jingyan inherited the title of Marquis of Changyang. He has been the eldest son for 20 years, and now he has finally taken over the title passed down from his father. Wang, I heard that after receiving the decree to thank you, Princess Dagon drank a jar of wine alone and shed tears all night.

Princess An Guochang and her son-in-law Lu Xiufu, the former commander of the Western Frontier Army, were also conferred posthumously.

The rest of the soldiers who followed Xiao Xun in the Western Expedition to the Northern War also received awards one by one. Although it was a bit late, everyone knew that the emperor wanted to wait for the conferment ceremony before conferring rewards, but no one complained.

Princess Taiping was confiscated and demoted to a commoner, Princess Changshou was confiscated and demoted to a commoner, Xuande Houfu was confiscated and demoted to a commoner.

The original King Xiang was revered as the Supreme Emperor, and lived in the Ningshou Palace, where he was the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Xiao Ke, the eldest son of King Xiang, was named Prince Xiang, Xiao Wei was promoted to Prince Ping, Xiao Changyuan was promoted to King Jing, Xiao Changyao was promoted to King An, but Xiao Heng was still the Prince of the County.

At the beginning, Xiao Heng was very proud of being verbally awarded the title of the emperor together, but now, Xiao Ke and Xiao Wei are both named princes, but he is the only county king, Xiao Heng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Xiao Xun once again issued a decree to emphasize that the princes of Dayong "divided the land but did not tin the soil, became nobles but did not meet the people, and lived on the salary but did not manage affairs", which can be regarded as limiting the rights of the princes.

Xiao Lingsu was named the eldest princess of Nanzhang, and Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingjing, and Xiao Lingyue were all named princesses because they were concubines.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage but inequality. Xiao Lingsu not only lived in the palace with Xiao Xun and his wife, but was also named the eldest princess. The three of them were also the daughters of the Supreme Emperor, but they could only be named princesses. Xiao Lingyue Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingjing refused to accept it.

The two went to find Xiao Lingyue, and asked her to go to the palace together to find the empress. Xiao Lingyue was very surprised, "This is the emperor's order, what does it have to do with the empress?"
