Chapter 3414 Extra Yin or 2
The Yin family tried their best to keep him alive. It was his responsibility to carry on the Yin family's lineage. Everyone lives like this. With rights, comes responsibilities.
He didn't know that Yin might become disgusted with the world and would rather die than enjoy this right.
Yin Li said, "The new emperor will show me favor when he ascends the throne. I will ask His Majesty for grace to confer a higher title on you. The title of County Master is still a bit low."
This was probably the last thing he could do for his son.
If nothing unexpected happens, his marquisate should be handed over directly to his grandson. Yin Huo has been living in his own county mansion in recent years, and only occasionally returns to the Yin Mansion to live for a period of time.
The Yin family had long been headed by his sixth sister's family. His sixth sister's eldest son was not young anymore and had been personally taught by Yin Li since he was born. He was a fairly qualified heir.
Although Yin Huo's health has improved a lot in recent years and he no longer looks like he will die young, Yin Li still can't help but worry.
He has no wife or children and is all alone. Yin Li always feels a sense of fear. What if he leaves and is left alone to suffer in the world?
So he hopes he can have more protection.
"You can adopt a child from your sisters. You have a title, and I think they would be willing to adopt their sons to you."
Yin Huo refused, "Father, I don't like raising children."
"Then wait until they grow up and adopt them. Let your sisters raise them for you, and then you can pick one from them. Of course, it would be best to choose from your sixth sister." Because her children all have the surname Yin.
If Yin chose them, they would not have to change their surnames and could inherit directly.
Yin Huo: "Let's talk about it when I'm almost dead."
"How can that be? You adopted them so that they can take care of you."
Yin Huo smiled and said, "Father, I have people to take care of me. I don't need children. You don't have to worry about my afterlife. My sisters will definitely take care of me. Besides, when a person dies, they will simply burn and scatter their ashes. Returning to the world of heaven and earth will be very peaceful. Why bother trapping yourself in such mundane matters?"
Yin Li: "...Do you want to become a monk?"
Yin Huo shook his head and said, "Becoming a monk or practicing Taoism are just forms. There is no need to be so rigid about it."
He was not a monk, but he could read the Buddhist scriptures and discuss them with famous monks all over the world; he was not a Taoist priest, but he could read all the Taoist scriptures he saw and discuss Taoism with famous scholars all over the world...
So identity is just a form. Once you get it, you will become more restricted.
He felt that he was doing fine now. When he had free time, he would stay at home. When he didn't have free time, he would go to a Buddhist temple or Taoist temple to relax for a while. He could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, he had no shortage of money, and his status was there. No Buddhist temple or Taoist temple would refuse him.
He comforted Yin Li, "Don't worry, father. I'm doing well. Do you see how much Bai Shan and Zhou Man envy me?"
After the emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne, Bai Shan and Zhou Man were both entrusted with important tasks. They were both very busy during this period. When they occasionally got together for a meal, they looked at him with envy.
Yin Li was now certain that Yin Huo really didn't like the so-called starting a family and building a career, and he didn't even have any desire in this regard.
He felt both happy and sad. He had no worldly desires, so he should be happy with such a life, right?
Yin Li's spirits brightened, and he said to him, "When His Majesty's decree comes, I will divide the family property between you and your sister. I will give you more money then. Even if you don't get married, you can't just live in vain."
He said, "When you feel lonely in the future, call your sisters' children to talk to you, and choose a sensible and filial one to serve you, even if it's just to talk to you."
Yin Huo: "There is a long life, and the child is not a toy. How can you call him over just to talk to me?"
Yin Huo had a good relationship with his sisters, but he didn't have much affection for his nephews and nieces.
First, they seldom met; second, it was difficult for him to communicate with these children because their education was very different from his cognition.
He is closer to Bai Shanzhouman and Bai Er's children, but finds it difficult to get close to his sisters' children.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt that he was cold and heartless, and did not care about his relatives. Otherwise, why would his emotions fluctuate more and more when facing his relatives?
Yin Li was just mentioned briefly. Yin or his health is good. This matter is still long, so we will talk about it later.
However, the conferment of the title cannot be delayed.
The new emperor ascended the throne for two reasons, one was to reward his meritorious officials, and the other was to win over the hearts of the people. After the funeral of the previous emperor, he began to plan to use his own talents and confer titles on his meritorious officials.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man were the people the new emperor wanted to use, and he gave them new positions. Not to mention them, old ministers like Yin Li were given titles, honors, or rewards, all depending on the new emperor's impression of them and their achievements during the previous emperor's time.
The most eye-catching among them, apart from the king's uncle, Duke Zhao, is Yin Li.
Duke Zhao was the new emperor's uncle and a relative by marriage. The crown prince was very restrained. No, it was the new emperor who was very restrained. At the suggestion of the empress dowager, he only gave him a title and some rewards, but did not lavishly confer rewards on him.
The new emperor was a little less concerned about Yin Li. The main reason was that Yin Li had no son. Oh no, he had no son in the court to inherit his network of contacts. His grandson was still young and had probably just learned "The Analects of Confucius". It would take at least another ten years for him to become an official.
Yin Li was known for his loyalty during the previous emperor's reign. He was only loyal to the emperor. Now that a new emperor has come, he is naturally only loyal to the new emperor.
The new emperor had a very good impression of him. Although he had his own trusted generals, their qualifications were not enough, so the new emperor only transferred him to the imperial guards as a deputy, and the commander was still Yin Li.
In order to stabilize Yin Li, he wanted to confer a higher title on him.
Yin Li waited for a long time and finally was summoned by the emperor. He was very straightforward and expressed his loyalty to the emperor. However, he did not want to be promoted to a higher position as his abilities were limited. Being a commander and a marquis was already the pinnacle. Any higher would be unworthy of his status.
Of course, he also knew that this was because the emperor valued him. In order not to disappoint the emperor, why don't you confer a title on my beloved son?
He also mentioned Yin Huo's health, saying that he could not work hard and could not do a real job, and only needed some kindness.
The emperor suddenly realized what was going on and said he understood, and asked Yin Li to leave.
As soon as Yin Li left, the emperor issued an edict, saying that Yin Huo, the emperor's study companion, had advised me during the period of study, so that I did not dare to slack off in state affairs. His father was loyal and brave, so he himself should not fall into the righteousness of loyalty and bravery. Finally, the emperor conferred the title of Earl of Anning on Yin Huo.
Bai Shan, who had just taken over the post of the Ministry of Revenue and the Governor of Yongzhou, was stunned when he heard the imperial edict. He could not help but go to the Imperial Hospital to find Zhou Man for lunch.
The two sat opposite each other as they ate the palace-provided work meal, their eyes filled with tears. "I'm so envious."
Zhou Man stuffed a piece of meat with tears in his eyes, "I'm so envious."
What is winning without doing anything?
That's it.
When Yin Huo was promoted to the Earl of Anning, the whole Yin family was delighted and decided to hold a grand banquet for the guests.
