Chapter 789: On merit, become a knight
Military ranks, positions, these are floating clouds. Compared with knighthoods, both military rank and position are unreliable things.
Because as long as people with a little common sense know that once the title is sealed, it may be cut down unless it is too out of line.
What about military rank and position? Those are all things that the imperial court wants to employ at any time, and they can be added at any time. When it is used up, it can be taken back at any time, and it is better to say that it is to give grace when employing people, and to demote officials immediately when you don't need people, which will not cause too much controversy......
After hearing Liu Xing's words, he blinked his eyes and suddenly said to Liu Xing with a strange smile: "Boy, aren't you going to give Yang Yizhong and Wu Jue another knighthood, right?" ”
Seeing his expression, Liu Xing just nodded lightly: "Yes, I'm going to go to Zong Shuai and discuss with him later." As long as Yang Yizhong successfully completes the work I gave him after two months, and as long as Wu Jue can successfully take over Hubei, Huaidong and Huaixi for me and appease me, they are both qualified to be awarded the title of first-class marquis or even higher. ”
As soon as he heard this, the heart of the seed master couldn't help but be shocked again, and secretly said: First Wait! If those two boys are crowned first-class marquises, then you, Liu Xing, this kid, will inevitably rise and be crowned by the Jin Jue.
Because when you were knighted the first two times, it was Zong Ze, Hu Anguo and others who watched you knight Yang Yi and others, but you didn't give yourself a knighthood like Jiang Taigong was crowned a god, so I had no choice but to get a knighthood for you.
Now you want to make those two boys knights, so what title should you give your boy? Wouldn't it have to be a third-class duke or above?
Okay! The third-class duke has become a super nobleman, even if there is really some kind of change in the future, as long as your title is still there, as soon as you enter the court, no one will dare to provoke except the emperor. Are you kid leaving a way out for yourself, or are you really going to move towards the goal of becoming a king with a different surname......
Although the Seed Master Center thought so, he didn't dare to say it directly. For an old fritter in officialdom. Many things are really seen through, don't say it thoroughly, so everyone can continue to be friends.
He wanted the cultivator to rise with Liu Xing, and he wanted Leopard Forest Valley to completely integrate into the authentic Dao sect after the merger of the four major sects in the future, and then become an authentic Dao sect that would be famous for thousands of years. For the sake of the family's glory and sectarian obsession, he could only choose to speak euphemistically.
"Yang Yizhong and Wu Jue should have no objection to being a first-class marquis, but if the two of them are first-class marquis. So what title should the old marshal of the sect, who is the direct boss of the two of them, be awarded? Okay, don't forget, Zong Shuai is not just a second-class marquis now. "It seems that he cares about Zongze. When the seed master spoke, his eyes were like torches, but he was staring at Liu Xing's fair face tightly.
Hearing his heartfelt voice and seeing his expression again, Liu Xing secretly said in his heart: His grandfather, you are my uncle and uncle, and you actually played the routine of the old fritter of officialdom with me at this time, and used this way of talking in the style of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Cheng, if you knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, then I will be a big tiger once. However, my big tiger is not discouraged, does not lack morality, and does not bend the law for bribes, but is trying to donate money to the court to make up for the shortage. Therefore, the master is not afraid that anyone will settle accounts for me in the future, and it is not too much to ask for a knighthood......
"Zong Shuai and I, one in the Central Plains and the other in Shanxi, work together and work together, only with the help of Zhang Suo, Ye Mengde and others can we save the sky and Kuang Sheji. Even if he is not the top boss of Yang Yizhong and Wu Jue. With the merits and achievements of the commander, it is long enough to be crowned a duke. ”
first put on a righteous demeanor, and after Liu Xing's words, he immediately said: "What's the point of just being a duke?" If one day in the future, the four seas are pacified, and the eight directions come to the court, with the old marshal of the sect to save the sky, Kuang Sheji, protect the people, and become Zhongxing, these achievements, the prince can't be sealed, and it is not an exaggeration to seal the king of the county. ”
The difference between the prince and the prince of the county is one word, but in the new set of laws formulated by Hu Anguo in the Northern Dynasty according to the benchmark set by Liu Xing, the difference between the two words is not very large.
In accordance with the provisions of the new law. The prince can only be crowned to members of the royal family, and non-Zhao family members still cannot be crowned princes. Of course, there are exceptions. That is, after the king of the foreign domain returned to the Great Song Dynasty, his merits were too great, and he also married the royal family.
What about the county king? Compared with the prince, the prince of the county will have a lower rank and a lower status. Anyone who has made outstanding contributions and made great contributions to the society for thousands of years, no matter what his surname is, can be crowned as the king of the county.
Jiagu Xie Nu, Guan Xie Nu, the current chairman of the board of supervisors of the Zhongqin Charity Federation brought people into Bianjing City, and even if they were named the county kings by people of different races and surnames.
Li Ren'ai and the actual last emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom were the same, after Liu Xing forcibly ordered all the Western Xia imperial family to move to Gyeonggi. As soon as he entered Bianjing City, he was also named the king of Xia County.
If you look at the merits of the two of them who "came back from the country", don't say whether Zong Ze is enough to be a duke, and whether Liu Xing is qualified to have a duke.
Just said that Wu Jue, who brought a quarter of the world in the Northern Dynasty and the entire territory of Western Shu to vote, his dedication to the land was actually enough for him to receive the title of county king.
and the "living Yama King" Yang Yizhong, from Shanxi to Henan, from Hebei to Saibei, the other quarter of the world in the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated by him. That merit is enough to compare with the two foreign kings and Wu Jue who sacrificed the land and returned the whole country......
The basic standard framework for knighthood comes from Liu Xing, but it is the Senate that makes the rules in the end.
Although Hu Anguo formed a gang and engaged in small hills, he wanted to compete with Liu Xing for the supremacy of the Northern Dynasty. But in terms of knighthood, a pair of masters and apprentices want to be surprisingly consistent, which can be described as a hit.
Why is it an instant hit? Because everyone, including the planters, has a selfish mentality. No matter what surname Zhao is in the future, Liu or some other surname.
As long as the main body of this court machine is still in charge of everything in the world, then the knighthood is the biggest capital to register and become famous for eternity in the future.
What is the official behavior of entering the court? Although the planter shouted in his mouth to help the community and save the people, although Liu Xing shouted to save the sky and rejuvenate the Central Plains.
But selfishness is common in this point, and everyone actually has the same goal in the depths of their hearts now, that is, after becoming an official and becoming a knight, they can be famous for eternity, no matter how the court changes, and the title will never fall.
This time, the speculation about Liu Xing in the seed master was not wrong, if he had thought like this a few months ago, Liu Xing would have thought that he was "the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman" and was looking down on himself.
But now, the marriage has been completed, Xiao Qi is by his side, and he wants to marry Yang Linger in the future. With a family, a man who doesn't think about his family is not a good man, and Liu Xing is indeed thinking about knighting himself now, so that Xiao Qi and Ling Er can be proud of themselves in the future, and live a life of fine clothes and food with their own income......
