Chapter 115: Granted the title of Baron! ! !
Wu Youzhi suddenly knelt down and made Zhuang Zhou confused.
Mr. Zhuang?
I am a commoner with a flat head, so what kind of adult am I?
Faced with the sudden change, Zhuang Zhou didn't know how to deal with it.
It stands to reason that he really intends to go out of his way to teach this dog official a lesson.
But now, things seem to be completely in his favor.
Li Junxian saw that it was almost ready to announce the decree, so he took out another imperial decree.
Then he looked at Zhuang Zhou and said:
"This is an imperial document issued by His Majesty himself. Zhuang Zhou will accept it."
"Ah? What the hell?"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned for a moment and hadn't reacted yet!
Then I heard Li Junxiang say:
"My disciples: Now there are civilians in Zhuangzhou, holding high the virtuous people, and offering telescopes to benefit General Li Jing's victory in defeating the Turks...
I also offer sweet potatoes to the country and the people, and have made great contributions to the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty. I am determined to make the people of the Tang Dynasty have enough to eat and no longer starve...
I have thought about it, and I think that such a talented person can be granted the title of county baron, and be granted 500 acres of professional land and 500 acres of permanent land.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, October 17th..."
Li Junxian finished reciting the canonization decree, and finally rolled it up and handed it to Zhuang Zhou:
"Congratulations to the man from Zhuang County. From now on, he will also be a member of the royal family."
With that said, he handed over the goldfish bag again:
"Mr. Zhuang County, this is a special gift from His Majesty, please be sure to keep it."
Only then did Zhuang Zhou take a closer look at the things that had alarmed Wu Youzhi before.
This is a gold nugget in the shape of a fish.
But his name and title are engraved on it.
This can be considered his first ID card in this era.
Looking at the imperial edict and goldfish bag in his hand, Zhuang Zhou was still confused:
"Am I a person with a title?"
"Of course! This is the fifth-grade title personally conferred by His Majesty."
To be honest, Zhuang Zhou didn't even know what excitement was.
Because he is a modern person, so he doesn't know what the title of county baronet of the fifth grade means.
You know, this is incredible for an ordinary person!
Especially in ancient society, identity and origin are the most important things.
Zhuang Zhou has the title of county baron and will be more comfortable running a shop in Chang'an City in the future!
But what he was very curious about was whether issuing an imperial edict was too childish!
In his memory, this thing must have a very complicated process.
For example, you need to shower and change clothes first, then set up the incense table, a lot of red tape.
Then the people who announced the decree were all eunuchs, but the guy in front of me was tall and thick, with a masculine look on his face.
At first glance, it was impossible to be a eunuch.
So Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but ask:
"Then...this imperial edict of yours can't be fake, right?"
Li Junxian was stunned:
"What does Mr. Zhuang County mean by this? How can the imperial edict be false?"
"Shouldn't I kneel down to listen to the imperial edict? And shouldn't it be the eunuchs in the palace who announce the edict? And shouldn't there be someone who carries the emperor's edict from heaven..."
Zhuang Zhou simply asked all his doubts.
Li Junxian was also confused after hearing this:
"Mr. Zhuang County, where did you hear all this?"
"First of all, you don't have to kneel to receive the imperial edict. You can even sit down. The person who announces the edict should be an official from the Zhongshu Province. However, His Majesty specifically asked me to read it out, so this is reasonable and compliant."
"As for what you said about 'Follow Heaven to carry out the emperor's edict', it's even more unheard of. You must have heard these lines in the play!"
Zhuang Zhou found that he was really harmed by film and television dramas.
In fact, it’s not Zhuang Zhou’s fault. Most of these things only appeared after Zhu Baba in the Ming Dynasty.
Why is it said that the Tang Dynasty was particularly inclusive!
This can also be seen in the reading of the imperial edict.
After Li Er took charge, he eliminated many useless procedures, such as reading out imperial edicts, which was more like issuing a red-headed document within the agency.
When your subordinate receives the document, he only needs to reply with "Received".
There simply isn’t that much red tape.
Zhuang Zhou was happy now, but Wu Youzhi felt sad.
Good guy!
He has directly offended the famous person next to His Majesty the Emperor!
At this time, Wu Youzhi's body could not help but tremble, and his face turned red from holding back.
It's over!
How could he have imagined that Zhuang Zhou was a talent that His Majesty the Emperor valued so much.
If there is such a commotion today, people will definitely have to settle the matter.
Then haven't everything he has done over the years been found out?
As an official in the imperial court, who can withstand investigation?
With His Majesty's current temperament, his fate is already clear.
There is only one dead end.
Maybe the car will break apart, or the body will be torn apart by five horses.
When he thought of this, Wu Youzhi became even more frightened and uneasy.
Suddenly, a surge of heat surged out of his heart, and Wu Youzhi opened his mouth.
"what!"
Wu Youzhi screamed, which frightened Zhuang Zhou.
When he heard the sound and went to look, he saw Wu Youzhi vomiting out a mouthful of old blood, then fainted and fell to the ground.
"???"
what's the situation?
Zhuang Zhou hasn't reacted yet.
Just listen to Li Junxian say:
"Mr. Zhuang County, there is no need to worry. Wu Youzhi did something wrong. His energy and blood attacked his heart and he fainted."
As he spoke, he came closer, knelt down and sniffed Wu Youzhi's breath:
"The person is not dead yet... otherwise it would be too cheap for him."
Li Junxian called for someone to take Wu Youzhi down and take care of him, but he couldn't let him die like this.
As for Zhao Qing, he was directly put into prison and detained.
After finishing these tasks, Li Junxian called Zhuang Zhou aside and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Zhuang County, Your Majesty asked me to ask you if you have any other high-yielding crops that can solve the problem of feeding the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Ok?
How did the emperor know this?
But now Zhuang Zhou finally understands.
To be able to be knighted as a county boy, someone must have said something to the emperor.
Zhuang Zhou remembered that this morning when the young master asked him whether he would become an official, he once said that if he could make the people of the Tang Dynasty eat, they would no longer be hungry in the future.
It seems that Mr. Qingxiu’s identity is not simple!
Thinking back to the test in the morning, Zhuang Zhou became even more sure.
"Mr. Zhuang County, what do you want me to ask you? Do you have any more?"
"Yes, it's just that these crops still need time to come in, and we have to wait a little longer."
Now Zhuang Zhou has only talked about sweet potatoes, but has not mentioned hybrid rice, potatoes and other crops.
When the emperor gave himself this title, he must have thought that he could do something reciprocal in return.
"Okay, okay! Just your words will do the trick!"
Li Junxian nodded and wrote down these words:
"When I return to the palace to report my work, I will report the truth to Your Majesty. In addition, Your Majesty already knows about Zhao Qing's collusion with Wu Youzhi to frame the Zhuang County man. I will personally take responsibility for this matter. Zhuang County man can just go back and wait for good news. "
Zhuang Zhou naturally didn't want to worry about how to deal with these two people. After all, it was a matter for the court.
And he just wants to have the rights given to him by the court, but he doesn't want to do anything.
Of course why not!
"Okay, that's troublesome... By the way, I still don't know what to call this big brother?"
Only then did Zhuang Zhou remember that he still didn’t know the other party’s surname!
Just listen, the strong man cupped his hands and said:
"I'm Li Junxian!"
