Chapter 363: Conferred the Title of Champion Marquis! A Fief of 3,000 Households!

In fact, from beginning to end, it was not because of the Ministry of Rites that Jiang Che's achievements were ignored. In fact, he himself could not help himself, and the emperor's hint had arrived.

He can only and must do that.

It's a pity that after Ji Chengdao expressed his attitude unabashedly, the emperor would still punish him, but the fine of one year's salary was not a heavy punishment for the Minister of Rites.

It's just a face-saving thing.

Being an official still depends on the salary. Although the Ministry of Rites does not have any real power, it will not fall into that situation.

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Jiang Che to be granted the title of Marquis." As soon as the Minister of Rites gave in, the Prime Minister on the right stepped forward and made it clear that he was against Ji Chengdao.

"What do you mean, my dear?"

Emperor Yuan Kang looked at him in surprise.

Right Prime Minister Cao Xin bowed slightly and said solemnly:

"I believe that Jiang Che's achievements are indeed extraordinary. He first defended the enemy at the border and made military exploits, and then defeated the rebels of the Qingtian Sect in the Holy Sea City. However, the title of earl is enough, and at most some treasures can be added.

As for the Marquis, it is really inappropriate. After all, Jiang Che is too young. As far as I know, Jiang Che is only in his twenties this year. He has only been in officialdom for two or three years, and his qualifications are too young.

Let him be granted the title of Marquis now. If he makes great achievements in the future, how should he be granted the title? "

Cao Xin's words were indeed extraordinary. He first affirmed Jiang Che's achievements, and then gave an accurate excuse. He was young, had little qualifications, and left room for future rewards.

Compared with many previous rhetorics, it is not the only one at all.

His words were also recognized by some officials in the DPRK and China and echoed them.

"I second my opinion. It is already very good for Jiang Che to reward him as an earl. It is enough to add some training resources. After all, he is too young and it is inappropriate to reward him with a high reward. It is easy to get too high and easy to lose."

"I see it this way too."

"What Prime Minister Cao said is very reasonable."

Emperor Yuan Kang frowned, as if he was thinking deeply about Cao Xin's words. The hall fell into a quarrel again.

"Uncle Emperor, what do you think of Cao Xin's words?"

Emperor Yuankang asked again.

The corners of Ji Chengdao's mouth curled up, and he looked directly at the emperor on the dragon throne without hesitation:

"I think this is nonsense!"

"What?"

"he"

The ministers in the palace were speechless for a moment.

Cao Xin showed some dissatisfaction and asked directly:

"Why did the patron king insult the truth?"

"Insult? I am just stating the facts. Are young age and junior qualifications the reasons? When did our Zhou Dynasty use seniority to determine titles and appoint ministers?

You all have strong qualifications and have been immersed in officialdom for many years, but what is the result? They just raised a group of rotten scholars who had nothing to do with their corpses. How could they ever achieve any military merit for our great Zhou Dynasty?

Jiang Che went through life and death and fought bloody battles. Is this the result he got in return? If word spreads, who will make meritorious service to the court in the future? Does it depend on you? ! "

Ji Chengdao snorted lightly, showing disdain.

And his words undoubtedly caused an uproar in Fengtian Palace, and every civil servant spoke one after another.

"King of patrons, your words are simply vulgar. We have worked hard for the imperial court, sacrificed ourselves for the public service, and worked hard, but in exchange for that, we have not received any credit at all?"

"Your Majesty, please punish the patron king for making rude remarks."

"Your Majesty, the words of the patron king are simply arrogant."

"His Majesty."

Civil servants impeached Ji Chengdao one after another, saying that he was vulgar, overbearing, and insulting loyal ministers, but that was all. No one dared to attack Ji Chengdao personally.

More importantly, most of the military generals remained silent at this moment, and only a few imperial guards generals spoke out about impeachment.

Looking at the commotion below, Emperor Yuankang frowned tightly and glanced at the patron king with his peripheral vision. Seeing that he remained motionless and regarded the impeachment as nothing, he felt discouraged.

He knows that these so-called impeachments are equivalent to scratching an itch for the patron king and have no lethality at all.

Because he is the emperor's uncle, the patron god king who was professed by the late emperor. He has jurisdiction over the black office and holds great power. In addition, he also has a large part of the military power.

His power is so great that he has no equal in the government.

Even as the emperor, he actually had nothing to do with the other party.

Ignoring Jiang Che's achievements was naturally his order, because he knew that Jiang Che was recommended by the patron kings, and he wanted to use this to suppress the other party's power.

But as usual, his holy will could not be implemented at all by the patron king.

An unknown fire suddenly arose in my heart.

However, even if there was anger, he did not dare to really vent it.

I can only endure it and wait for the opportunity.

"enough!"

A low shout resounded throughout the hall.

All the civil servants and generals looked towards the position of the dragon chair.

"I understand the intentions of all the ministers. Uncle Emperor, do you still insist on requesting a marquis for Jiang Che?" Emperor Yuankang Ji Wenhao asked expressionlessly.

Ji Chengdao nodded slightly:

"Jiang Che's contribution must be made by the Marquis."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

Behind Ji Chengdao, all the military officers in the black yamen saluted one after another. In addition, the generals in the main hall also echoed, just like Ji Chengdao's yes-men.

Only the other military marshal remained silent.

He didn't seem to care at all about the obscure struggle between the emperor and his patron king.

"Okay, since the emperor insists, let's make Jiang Che a marquis. What title does the emperor think is most appropriate?" Emperor Yuankang continued to ask following Ji Chengdao's words.

He knew that a confrontation was nothing, and a bow was nothing. What he wanted was for Ji Chengdao's arrogant attitude to arouse increasing dissatisfaction among the courtiers.

In this way, we can slowly check and balance the other party.

Ji Chengdao's profound eyes flashed for a moment and he uttered a few words:

"Jiang Che's meritorious service is the highest in the entire army and the highest in the Central Plains. What do you think of the champion?"

Ji Chengdao knew not to irritate the emperor too much. He just gave suggestions rather than actually deciding the matter, even though he actually had such strength.

Emperor Yuankang squinted his eyes. For some reason, Ji Chengdao's words made him feel a little better. He turned to look at the red-robed eunuch beside him and ordered:

"The Purveyor and Seal Division prepared the decree. In the battle in Tiannan, Jiang Qing defended the enemy outside the country's gate. He killed the master in formation, slaughtered tens of thousands of South Vietnamese elites, and won the title of the entire army. In the battle of martial arts, he won the first place and subdued the world's heroes. .

The imperial edict granted him the title of Champion Marquis, a settlement of 3,000 households, an official promotion to the third rank, a reward of 10,000 gold crystals, a hundred altars of royal wine, plus 200,000 gold and silver, and 100 pieces of Sichuan brocade. Choose a day to enter the capital! "

"According to the order!"

The red-robed eunuch bowed.

After Emperor Yuan Kang finished speaking, he stood up directly and waved his dragon robe:

"Retreat from the court."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

In the Imperial Garden.

Before the chess table.

A Taoist nun is sitting cross-legged on a futon. She is dressed in a black and white Taoist robe with a landscape painting on it. She has a jade pendant hanging from her waist. She is very elegant. Her long hair is tied up as she pleases, adding a touch of renunciation.

Two strands of green silk hang down from the forehead, revealing the ears, the neckline is slightly open, the snow-white jade neck is as delicate as frost, the red lips are slightly open, like a peach blossom in bloom, and the graceful figure is like a peony in bud.

There was a faint coercion emanating from his body.

He opened his peach blossom-like eyes, which were as bright as stars. He glanced at the yellow-robed figure who came in from the outside with an indifferent expression. He waved the whisk in his hand and nodded slightly:

"Pindao has met Your Majesty."

"National Division."

Emperor Yuan Kang's eyes swept over Yao Yue's gentle and beautiful body, and there was a flash of desire in his eyes, but then he quickly suppressed it, sighed softly, and sat down next to the Taoist nun.

"It seems that His Majesty is in a bad mood today."

Yao Yue's voice was very light, like clear water.

"The patron king is becoming more and more outrageous. I don't believe that he doesn't understand what I mean, but he still doesn't give in at all. He simply doesn't take me as the emperor seriously.

Even though I have been cultivating my body and energy with the Imperial Master for many years, I still can't suppress the thoughts in my heart. "

Emperor Yuankang shook his head.

"Your Majesty is an emperor and is connected to the world. I am alone and don't have many worries. It is different. It is not that I am better at cultivating Qi. It's just that Your Majesty has too many things to do."

"The Imperial Master understands me."

"Then does your Majesty still want to practice today?"

Yaoyue asked calmly.

"Although the fate of the country is weighing on me and it is difficult to improve my cultivation, I will not give up my pursuit of the truth. Naturally, I will not slack off." Emperor Yuankang looked solemn.

"good."

Yao Yue smiled indifferently, her palms facing the sky, and a Taoist charm instantly enveloped the entire imperial garden.

Opposite him, Emperor Yuankang was also sitting upright, with a stern look on his face. He assumed a monastic posture and began to cultivate his Qi along with him. However, after practicing for a while, he opened his eyes.

He stared at Yaoyue opposite him with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty is confused."

Yaoyue said casually with her eyes closed.

"National Master, I have been practicing with you for twenty years."

"good."

"and you."

Opening her eyes, Yao Yue's deep eyes fell on Emperor Yuan Kang opposite:

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

Emperor Yuan Kang looked at each other for a few times and suddenly smiled:

"Nothing. Just a sigh."

Qijia, Taoyuan.

Ripples appeared in the void, and Jiang Che stepped out from the portal of the secret realm with a faint smile on his face. Just like last time, this time, he still took away the Mingshen Daoyun effortlessly.

Very smooth.

After that, he only needs to get the formation token from Lingjian Mountain and the token from the Wei family, and then he can step into the mysterious realm of Xuanling again and take away the origin of the Bodhi Enlightenment Tree.

The exercises after deduction.

"How's it going?"

Qi Zhengnan raised his head, with a trace of concern in his eyes.

Although he knew that Jiang Che successfully took away Mingshen Daoyun last time, he was still very concerned about this matter at this moment. After all, the better Jiang Che's understanding, the more worthwhile the Qi family's bet would be.

"Thank you uncle, everything went well."

Jiang Che cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Not bad."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Che got up and left on the pretext of practicing cultivation, then turned around and went directly to Wanbing Tower to meet the two daughters of the Qi family. The schedule was so tight that even the Scarlet Blood Demon Lord was speechless.

"Boy, although you have high understanding and strong qualifications, you still have to practice hard, right? Since I followed you, I have never seen you practice hard in seclusion several times."

Jiang Che replied with a smile:

"That's just because the seniors never saw it when the juniors were practicing hard."

Penance?

Why practice hard?

After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills!

"Ancestor."

Jiang Che left with his front legs, and the ancestor of the Qi family, who was wearing a brocade robe on his back legs, walked out of the secret realm and sat in the seat where Jiang Che had just sat, while Qi Zhengnan saluted respectfully.

"You have found a good son-in-law."

When Jiang Che stepped into the secret realm of the back mountain just now, he had been staring at the other party and watched with his own eyes as Jiang Che easily took away the Tao Yun from the Mingshen Dao Monument using a method that he could not see through.

I was quite shocked.

Although Qi Zhengnan was unhappy about Jiang Che marrying two daughters together, he recognized the qualifications of his son-in-law from beginning to end, and immediately nodded and said:

"When this person broke through before, he triggered four celestial phenomena. Ancestor, do you know what this means?"

Qi Zhengnan rummaged through the ancient books of the Qi family to this question, but could not find an answer. Now, while his ancestor was here, he naturally needed to ask it carefully to resolve his confusion.

"I was there that day."

"Ancestor, are you here too?"

Qi Zhengnan's eyes widened. He didn't notice the aura of his ancestor at all, but he was relieved when he thought about it. The ancestor was at the level of a martial saint, which was indeed extraordinary.

"The bright moon rises in the sea, and the golden lotus grows in the bitter sea. These two major phenomena are caused by himself. As for the yin and yang that turns into a true dragon later, it is different. It seems to be natural.

In fact, it's quite mysterious. As for the last purple energy coming from the east and falling into the sky, I can't figure it out. I think it must be related to luck." The ancestor of the Qi family explained.

"Then how powerful does the ancestor think Jiang Che can become in the future?"

"What state he has reached depends not on visions, but on his own practice. No one can determine. However, if we judge based solely on the visions of heaven and earth, this boy may have the qualifications to become an immortal."

"Immortal talent?"

Qi Zhengnan's eyes widened and he was extremely shocked.

As the head of the Qi family, he naturally knows some secrets and what immortality means.

"This person's immortality is not the other's. The gate to immortality has been closed long ago, and the path to immortality is cut off. What I said is that this child may have the talent for immortality." The ancestor of the Qi family smiled lightly.

"If this son can really become a human immortal, then wouldn't I, then my Qi family, be the next immortal sect?"

Qi Zhengnan looked shocked.

"Having immortal talent does not mean that you can actually become an immortal, it is just a possibility. However, this child is indeed very important, especially for the Qi family. As the head of the Qi family, you must take good care of it.

Perhaps your chance of becoming a saint lies with this person. "

"Become a saint." Qi Zhengnan looked a little moved. After a moment of silence, he whispered:

"So that the ancestors will know that the two daughters of this junior will be married to Jiang Che on the first day of the next lunar month. This will certainly not alienate the relationship between this son and my Qi family."

The ancestor of the Qi family looked at Qi Zhengnan with encouragement and nodded:

"Zheng Nan, you have done a great job. The position of head of the family was entrusted to you, and now it seems that it is indeed appropriate."

"The ancestors have too much praise, but the younger generation dare not."

Qi Zhengnan had mixed feelings in his heart. It seemed that in everyone's eyes, Jiang Che was of extremely high value, far more than his two daughters.

"Support him well and the Qi family will benefit from it."

The ancestor of the Qi family smiled indifferently, left a word, and then slowly disappeared, leaving only Qi Zhengnan in the same place, his expression changing, and finally he sighed.
