Chapter 482: First-class Lady of the Holy Spirit
Bu Yan, who usually kept his emotions to himself, finally couldn't control his smile and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Listen to it!
Pull up his ears and listen!
From now on, he would no longer call himself a subordinate or a slave.
It is the minister! It is the minister!!
He is a minister of the fifth rank!!!
Eunuch Huang was stunned for a moment, and reminded: "Your Majesty, such an important official appointment should be reviewed by the three assistant ministers first, and it cannot be...cannot be too casual."
What he was thinking was: The Duke of Protectorate should arrange for someone to come over, because General Pang has been guarding the palace for many days and is likely to be arranged to enter the palace.
The little devil snorted and said, "No matter what, I will decide first, and then show it to them. General Zong will definitely help me convince them."
Eunuch Huang thought the same thing and said with a smile, "The Emperor has a very good relationship with General Zong."
Jin Cheng thought: Of course, he is my father.
However, he had to change the way he addressed me in public. He shrugged his shoulders, picked up a golden token and asked, "Does this allow me to enter and leave the palace at will?"
Eunuch Huang replied, "Yes, you can enter the palace without reporting to the emperor. If you are in court, the palace maid can bring the person holding the token to wait in the side hall. However, this token has great power, including the power to be exempted from kneeling, death, and restrictions, so each emperor can only cast one. Your Majesty, you must consider this token carefully. It is best to give it to the child when he grows up. Otherwise, whether you give it to General Zong or the Duke of Huguo, one of them will be dissatisfied."
Chu Jincheng turned the token over and over, liking it the more he looked at it. He chuckled and said, "Such a unique token should of course be given to my best mother in the world!"
"Ah?" Eunuch Huang was confused.
……who?
Didn’t the Emperor’s mother, Concubine Shu, pass away a long time ago?
Chu Jincheng smiled and said, "She is General Zong's wife and my adoptive mother. I was able to grow up from a playboy to someone as sensible as I am today, all thanks to her good teaching. Madam of the First Rank Assistant Saint... Eunuch Huang, what do you think of this title that I have been thinking about for many days?"
"First-rank Madam Assistant to the Emperor..." Eunuch Huang opened his mouth, but was so shocked that he could not speak. He reminded worriedly, "Your Majesty, isn't this title a bit too grand? It sounds like someone who can assist you in ruling the country... If a woman interferes in government, all officials will definitely be extremely opposed."
Chu Jincheng said casually: "I don't want her to interfere in politics. Do you think everyone is interested in power? I just gave her a unique title, the same rank of Imperial Concubine, and with this token, no one dares to look down on her. I want the world to know that she has not only the Zongda General's Mansion behind her, but also me."
He and his mother want to be the closest mother and son.
Eunuch Huang was also moved by his seriousness. When the young boy looked up and spoke, there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes. It was the mother-son affection that he almost never saw in the palace. It was particularly touching.
Chu Jincheng looked at the next token and kept saying, "This one is for me, this one is for He Zheng, and this one is for Xiaobai..."
Eunuch Huang: “…”
He didn't believe that General Zong could really win all of these.
It's so horrible. The emperor gave out so many hard-to-get tokens as if they were just for fun and decided on the owners of each one.
The three great ministers.
Luo Jingfeng looked at the list that Eunuch Huang had sent over, slammed it on the table, and said with a dark face, "Nonsense, what are these? I won't approve any of them!"
When Prime Minister Shen saw his grandson's name on the list, his eyebrows raised in surprise. Although it was good that the emperor valued Yi Bai, he had just ascended the throne and these people were too young. It didn't seem like a well-thought-out decision.
However, Prime Minister Shen still knew how to do things. He turned to Zong Zhao and asked, "What do you think, General Zong?"
Zong Zhao picked up the memorial and pointed at Buyan's name and said, "The new emperor has just ascended the throne. It is not good to have all the new people in the palace. Buyan is a martial arts expert and has protected the emperor since he was a child. He is the most familiar with the emperor. It is not recommended to replace the guards in the short term. If the Protector of the Country feels uneasy, he can send more people to the imperial guards to assist Buyan in protecting the emperor."
Luo Jingfeng looked at Zong Zhao and said proudly, "You are right. I will send some people to the palace to assist you."
Zong Zhao pointed at the names of Zong Wenxiu and others and said, "The emperor gave these people tokens because they are classmates and playmates and know each other well, and secondly, he wants to focus on training them to become his confidants. But now is a little early, we can consider it in a few years. Otherwise, if we just give out a bunch of tokens, it will be bad for the emperor's reputation if it gets out."
Luo Jingfeng felt comfortable listening to it this time.
He snorted at Prime Minister Shen and said, "You heard it, right? It's unreasonable. I won't approve it."
Prime Minister Shen: “…”
If it’s unreasonable, then it’s unreasonable. Why are you telling me about it?
I didn't agree to the emperor's request!
Zong Zhao pointed at the last name and said calmly, "The First Rank Madam of the Holy Assistance has no real power in government affairs, and is not a Madam of the Holy Assistance. It is just a title that sounds impressive. However, this title also shows the emperor's gratitude to his adoptive mother. If the people knew about this, they would only praise the emperor for his filial piety, and our dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety."
Luo Jingfeng sneered: "What about the death-free token that allows one to enter and leave the palace at will? Such an important thing, he didn't give it to me, his biological uncle, but gave your wife a foster mother who has no blood relationship with her?"
Zong Zhao asked back, "Do you need to inform the emperor before you go to the palace to see him?"
Luo Jingfeng argued: "That's because I'm his uncle! His real uncle!"
Zong Zhao: "Since you two are relatives, why are you jealous?"
Luo was shocked: "!!!"
Who is jealous?
Who is jealous?!
He is the Duke of Protectorate and General Pingxi, so why would he be jealous of a woman?
Seeing that the two generals were about to quarrel, Prime Minister Shen, who pretended to be silent, hurried out to persuade them: "Calm down, both of you. In my opinion, just give the first-rank Fusheng Lady. General Zong is a first-rank military general, and it is normal for his wife to be given the first-rank imperial lady. As for the token, she is just a woman anyway, and it does not affect the status of her uncle, the Duke of the State. I think we should just do it. Otherwise, the emperor is very enthusiastic and puts forward a lot of suggestions, and we reject them all. This will really dampen his enthusiasm."
When it comes to the child's mood.
Luo Jingfeng frowned.
That's right. The eldest nephew is already angry with him. It would not be good to deny him all these tokens. Otherwise, Zong Zhao's family would take advantage of the situation and alienate their close uncle-nephew relationship. That would be bad.
"Okay, then just agree to these two." Luo Jingfeng relented.
Prime Minister Shen also breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared that he broke into a sweat. He had a premonition that his future career as a government official would not be so easy...
After hearing the news, the little devil pretended to hum a few times, but when the person left, he immediately jumped up and shouted excitedly: "Success!!!"
Fortunately, he was smart and used the cover of randomly distributing tokens to a bunch of people, otherwise Luo Jingfeng would definitely not agree so easily. Humph, the best and most unique token can only be given to his mother!
