Chapter 2680 Marriage and Integration

As a benevolent king, Wei Qi saw him crying and asked with concern: "Why are you crying, Mr. Xu? But is there anything sad?"

After hearing this, Xu Chongfeng was so frightened that his legs weakened. After shaking twice, he fell directly to the ground. He knelt down quickly and cried: "I am loyal to your majesty. I have no intention of missing that person. Your majesty." You have to believe me!"

Don't kill me, don't kill me. I have managed to survive until now and I don't want to die.

this?

Wei Qi wants to scold you... You are saying this as if I want to harm you, but I am a benevolent king!

Wei Xiao and Qin Sanlang shook their heads, and together they came over to pick up Xu Chongfeng and said, "Master Xu, after so many years, you really haven't changed at all."

Or are you so afraid of death, why can't you be more courageous?

Xu Chongfeng said: No, if you are too courageous in the capital, your home will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated.

but……

When the civil and military officials saw Wei Xiao and Qin Sanlang helping Xu Chongfeng in person, they thought highly of him.

Master Zuo said slightly sourly: "Master Xu, do you know King Xiao Wei and Marquis Qin?"

Xu Chongfeng hurriedly bowed to Mr. Zuo and said, "When we were in Tianfu County, we got along for a while... I don't know..."

He looked at Wei Xiao and Qin Sanlang. Should I say they are familiar with each other, or not?

If I say I'm not familiar with you, I'm looking down on you, but I really don't dare to look down on you.

If we say we are familiar, I am afraid that you will think that I am trying to curry favor with you, so I will be punished for clinging to a superior official!

Xu Chongfeng was in a dilemma and was so frightened that tears fell again.

Tsk, Wei Xiao was very disgusted, let go of his arm, and said: "When I and the Marquis of Qin were living in Tianfu County, I worked as a servant under Mr. Xu, and also participated in the extermination of the water bandit Gao Tong. .”

"That's it." After hearing this, the civil servants and generals suddenly realized and praised Xu Chongfeng again: "The case of Gao Tong, the water bandit, is a big and sensational case. Mr. Xu is really amazing, he has actually handled such a big case."

Xu Chongfeng said hurriedly: "Don't take it, don't take it. The suppression of the water bandits back then was all due to General Guo, King Xiaowei, and Marquis Qin. I just... took the credit."

Ha, these words actually made the ministers laugh out loud.

Xu Chongfeng wiped his cold sweat and thought to himself: You are laughing your ass off, what I said is true, and I am still forced to take the credit for this. Otherwise, I would rather commit suicide than do such a big thing. case.

Really, I have been cowardly for ten years.

However, his cowardice was noticed by all parties.

Wei Qi said: "Master Xu has been acting as minister of Dali Temple recently, right?"

With a plop, Xu Chongfeng quickly knelt down again and said: "Reporting to your majesty, since the death of the previous dynasty Ming Cong, no one has been in charge of Dali Temple. Since the minister has been working in Dali Temple for a long time, it is not possible for him to take over the post of Minister of Dali Temple. I know that I am not qualified for this position..."

So if you want to remove me, just hurry up. I have no objection at all. I want to resign and go back to my hometown to be a rich old man. I don’t want to stay in the capital at all. The capital is too terrible.

But Wei Qi said: "Why did Mr. Xu say this? I think you did a good job."

Mr. Feng nodded: "Your Majesty, I also think that Mr. Xu is very suitable to be the Minister of Dali Temple... This position is to review cases sent to the capital from various places. Mr. Xu is timid and is afraid of being beheaded after making mistakes, so he will strictly review the case files. As long as we are strict, there will be fewer unjust, false and erroneous cases."

"..." Xu Chongfeng was confused. How can I be praised for being timid and afraid of death? Am I abnormal or are you all crazy?

Xu Chongfeng thought for a while and nodded, well, they are crazy, I am normal!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Wei Qi call his name: "Since Mr. Xu is also willing, I will officially make you the Chief Minister of Dali Temple of the David Dynasty."

ah?

Xu Chongfeng was shocked and looked at Wei Qi.

Wei Qi said: "Master Xu, please accept the order."

If you resist the order, you will be beheaded. Xu Chongfeng is afraid of death, so he subconsciously replied: "Yes, I will accept the order and thank you for your kindness!"

In this way, he became the Minister of Dali Temple.

When he came to his senses, he was crying... If he resigned now, would he be regarded as resisting the decree and be executed by everyone in his family?

Master Zuo also praised him: "Master Xu is worthy of being from a peasant family. He has been an official for many years and is still enthusiastic. He even cried when he was promoted."

Xu Chongfeng: "..."

What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see that I was scared to tears?

But he didn't dare to tell the truth. He could only wipe his tears and said with a smile: "I am not as good as you sirs. I originally thought that I could be a small county magistrate in this life, but I didn't expect that I would rise all the way. I shed tears when I was excited." , please Your Majesty and all your lords please don’t laugh at me.”

What he said is somewhat hateful.

However, he was well-received by everyone as the Minister of Dali Temple.

Wei Qi didn't want to hire someone too smart to investigate the case, lest he find out the truth.

Mr. Feng, Wei Xiao, Qin Sanlang and others need a timid person like Xu Chongfeng to stay at Dali Temple to help them provide some information.

Ning Ji felt relieved after seeing this... Xu Chongfeng's matter was the same as in the previous life. That was good, then he could seize the opportunity and make profits.

Mr. Shangguange reminded again: "Your Majesty, it's time to issue the imperial edict of canonization, so that all the ministers can enjoy it with Your Majesty."

Wei Qi nodded and sat down on the dragon chair: "Well, Mr. Shangguange declares the decree."

The imperial edict for canonization has been drawn up long ago and can be read out according to the title.

"Yes." Shangguange Lao responded and began to read out the imperial edict of canonization.

But the first one to be sealed was not Wei Xiao, but Qin Sanlang.

An old Taoist from Shangguan Pavilion said: "Those who inherit the destiny, Zhao said, Qin Mu has the benevolence of the literary sage and the high merits of the martial sage... He is specially given the position of a first-class Duke, hereditary and irreplaceable, and will always enjoy the food and salary of David, and David’s dynasty deserves to be honored by Heaven!”

This boast shocked all the officials.

However, what is even more frightening is that the first person Wei Qi canonized, Qin Sanlang, ranked Wei Xiao behind Qin Sanlang... With Wei Xiao's temper, how can he bear it?

What Wei Qi wants is for Wei Xiao to disobey Qin Sanlang, so that they can create a rift and eventually fight each other to death, allowing him to benefit.

But Wei Qi was wrong.

In the past, Wei Xiao would have really hated Qin Sanlang for this, but after so many things, Wei Xiao would no longer fall for such a trick, and happily said to Qin Sanlang: "Brother Mu, hurry up and receive the order. This is what you deserve."

Wei Qi's heart sank when he heard this, but he was not in a hurry... People's hearts must be broken bit by bit, and trust must also be broken bit by bit. If this happens more than a dozen times, after three to five years, Wei Xiao will definitely be jealous. Out of hatred, he took action to kill Qin Sanlang.

"Okay." Qin Sanlang smiled and nodded to Wei Xiao, then stepped forward, knelt down and said, "My lord, accept the order."

The elder Shangguange gave Qin Sanlang the imperial decree of canonization, and also awarded him the golden seal and purple ribbon, the alchemy book and the iron coupon and other royal belongings.

After the teachings were completed, Shangguange said: "Dong Qin, please pay your respects and thank your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness." Qin Sanlang shouted, and according to the rules, he kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Wei Qi in a grand salute.

Wei Qi sat in the dragon chair on the throne, overlooking Qin Sanlang, and felt an indescribable feeling of relief in his heart... At that time, he was only the second son of the Duke of Wei, and he was not able to do anything in literature or military, so in order to get attention , he tried to please his elders whenever he had the chance, but because of this he was disliked by his elders, and was even scolded by his own father for being good at sneaking into camps and not as upright as the children of military generals.

But look now, the descendants of the military generals they loved the most and considered the most upright were kneeling in front of him and becoming his ministers!
