My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 283

[Chapter 280 Imperial Edict (Fourth update)]

Bai Qingyuan felt a lot of pressure.

But Andi was much more comfortable.

When Bai Qingyuan opposed him in the court, how could there be so many people helping him?

He glanced at Jing Zhe again and smiled secretly in his heart: It seems that we still need to borrow the light of this boy!

So he nodded and said: “Zhu Sheren is right. The Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is held every year, and the same is true for the college entrance examination. It is unrealistic if all officials are given an official position above the fifth rank. But special things are done specially, and Jing Zhe has repeatedly done extraordinary things this time. Even if he is rewarded with a higher official position, who else can tell him?”

“Your Majesty, please don’t forget that yesterday at the hunting ground, Your Majesty had issued a blockade order, and the news of Master Jing’s heavy defeat of the Yinxi Army of Southern Qi was revealed. , Except for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who knows?”

Bai Qingyuan continued to analyze: “The people in the world only know that he won the Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition. If he is really allowed to hold a high position, what will others think of the man who was awarded the bachelor’s degree in Bohe just now? Mr. Chen, what should he think?”

“…”

An Di frowned, seeming to be deep in thought, but his heart was full of joy: Go ahead, talk more, if you can speak, speak more!

Seeing that Emperor An seemed to be shaken, Bai Qingyuan wanted to say more, but Hao Junguang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: “Mr. Bai, I think you are overthinking!”

Hao Junguang had not been in court for a long time because he was ill. Hearing him again Everyone looked over at the sound.

“I believe you have all read Mr. Jing’s poems. Even if it doesn’t count his feats such as defeating the third prince of Southern Qi and defeating the Yinlu Army, etc., in terms of poems alone, what do I think it would be like to give him a fifth-grade official position? Don’t say that. I will not object to the fifth grade, even the fourth grade!”

Among the five giants in the Anguo court, there are two martial arts and three civil servants. Among the three civil servants, the prime minister Zhu Tong is from the neutral faction, the Taifu Bai Qingyuan is from the Xiangwang faction, and only the prince’s teacher Hao Junguang is It represents not only the Donggong faction, but also the majority of civil servants.

So when he heard him speak, nearly half of the civil servants in the court began to agree.

“Master Jing’s talent is so admirable!”

“Master Jing’s talent is rare in the world!”

“Finding another water melody singer is as difficult as climbing to the sky!”

“Master Jing has learned enough to become a master!”

” …”

Maybe it was to support Hao Junguang, or maybe they thought the same way and felt that Jing Zhe was qualified for a fifth-rank official position based on his talent and learning alone.

Seeing that Hao Junguang also stood up to speak for Jing Zhe, Yu Sheng became a little anxious and stood up immediately.

“Master Hao is right! But these poems can be written at any time, but Mr. Jing’s military talents should not be wasted after all. After all, poetry and lyrics cannot save the country, but military power can strengthen the country and save the country!”

After finishing speaking, Yu Sheng added: “Is Taifu Bai always refusing to grant Jing Zhe the fifth-rank official position because he is afraid that there will be too few vacancies for the fifth-rank official position in the court? That doesn’t matter, I can find one from the Duke Protector’s Palace. Give him the fifth-grade official position! “

Official positions are just like the various official positions in later generations. They are also a carrot and a pit. Yu Sheng can say this, and he must take someone from the Duke Protector’s Palace and give it to Jing. Zhe.

This shows his sincerity.

Hao Junguang didn’t expect Yu Shengjian to take the wrong approach. After hearing this, he coughed twice and said, “I can do the same at the Grand Master’s Mansion!”

At this time, Yang Zhaoyang also walked out.

“Although my Duke of Wei has gone to Jinxi, he has sent letters to Master Jing many times in the past few days. He appreciates Mr. Jing very much, so he can also provide an official position of fifth rank or above for Mr. Jing in the Duke of Wei’s mansion!”

Now !

, it seems that the core issue is not whether Jing Zhe is qualified for the fifth-grade official position, but which faction he will serve as an official.

Seeing this situation, Emperor An smiled bitterly in his heart.

This was also a problem he had encountered before. He finally met a talented person with both talent and learning, and was ready to ask him to help him, but in the end he was snatched away by several major factions.

Fortunately, Jing Zhe had no such plan, and he felt more comfortable after hearing that all these families had sent people to look for him yesterday, but they were all rejected by him.

He glanced at Bai Qingyuan again and reminded: “Mr. Bai, everyone has said this, what do you think?”

What Emperor An meant was that he hoped he could fight back again.

Bai Qingyuan took a breath, looked sharply, and finally took out a piece of yellowed and old silk cloth from his clothes.

“Your Majesty, this is the imperial edict of the late emperor!”

“Wow~”

After hearing this, the court was in chaos.

When the emperor of the current dynasty took out the imperial edict of the previous emperor, no one would be able to perform this operation. Fortunately, the one he took was from the same dynasty. If it had been from the emperor first, he would have been pulled out and chopped directly.

This was his last trump card. Bai Qingyuan didn’t care what others said, and said generously: “Your Majesty, when the late emperor was in power, he once decreed that no one with a white body can obtain an official position above the fifth rank!”

With that, he handed over the imperial edict .

Handed it over.

Sui Shouren took it and gave it to Emperor An. Emperor An opened it, took a look at it, and said softly: “It is indeed the imperial edict of the father.”

Most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were promoted by him, and Bai Qingyuan was one of the few who assisted him from the previous dynasty. His father then came to assist him. Because the late emperor was very fond of Bai Qingyuan, Su Mowu designated him as his teacher as soon as he was born.

This imperial edict was issued by the late emperor when he conferred an official position on Bai Qingyuan. Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyuan has retained it to this day and has become his last trump card.

As soon as Emperor An said these words, the other ministers fell silent.

How can you say this?

This forced the former emperor to move out, who dares to say?

I can only curse shamelessly in my heart.

Emperor An carefully put away the imperial edict and asked Sui Shouren to hand it over to Bai Qingyuan. Then he looked at Jing Zhe and said, “According to what Bai Aiqing said, the official position bestowed on Jing Zhe cannot be greater than the fifth rank. Jing Zhe, what do you think?”

Jing Zhe said directly. He waved his hands and said: “Your Majesty, the common people think that there is no need to bother so much. The common people won the first place in the Poetry Association, killed the most powerful warriors of Southern Qi, and defeated the Silver Thread Army of Southern Qi. They don’t know how to hate me. They want to Kill me, but the result is… Oh, let’s not talk about it!”

Jing Zhe, whose acting skills are excellent, expressed his frustration vividly, “Your Majesty, there is no need to give this official position, it will save everyone trouble!”

He said and glanced at Bai Qingyuan !

, and finally said: “Why don’t your Majesty reward the common people with some money, and let the common people take the money to walk freely in the rivers and lakes, and save the people of Southern Qi from eyeing them!”

Jing Zhe said with a sad face, as if he wanted to use money to enjoy himself in time, I don’t know when I will be assassinated by people sent by Nan Qi. The ministers who just spoke to Jing Zhe were very sorry when they saw this. They thought that a person who had done great achievements for Anguo ended up like this in the end. It was so sad. !

Zhu Tong, who had been silent until now, also stood up at this time.

“Your Majesty, although this imperial edict was established by the late emperor, it has been mentioned for some years. Does it really apply to the present? If it does, it will chill the heart of not only Jing Zhe alone, but also the scholars and those who want to do it for the entire An’an Kingdom. The hearts of the people who serve our country!”

“…”
