Chapter 863: Re-entitlement and Reward!
Chapter 863: Re-entitlement and Reward!
It was not yet dawn.
The purple light is hazy.
The beaver family was lying on the ice platform, sleeping with their legs spread out.
Liang Qu yawned, scratched his temples, and sat on the edge of the bed in a single shirt.
creak.
The door was opened, Long Yao placed the folded clothes and boots on the bedside, and brought a towel and a basin of water. Long Li took off his shoes and walked to the back to tie Liang Qu's hair and put on a crown.
After Liang Qu put on his boots, tied his belt and stood up, the two opened the drawers and added pendants, badges and sachets to the belt.
A whole set of complicated and exquisite official uniform decorations was worn effortlessly in the hands of Yu Longli and Long Yao.
Unless it was a special matter, people were only allowed to enter and leave the Moon Watching Tower from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day. The rest of the time, he was forbidden to stay in the practice room. He could not make it to the grand court meeting at 5:00 a.m., so Liang Qu went home and took a nap last night.
After more than half a month of careful concentration, the Qi sea, which was ten times the size of the fairy island, grew to twelve times its size. It was a rare opportunity to relax, and the Qi sea in the body became more active.
huh~
The cold mist stopped blowing.
Long Yao turned off the ice table, hugged the quilt and went out. Long Li opened the window for ventilation.
A surge of hot air rushed towards me.
The big beaver clacked its front teeth, scratched its belly, kicked the little beaver away, and turned over.
"Is it so hot so early in the morning?"
Liang Qu took a breath.
Dry mouth and nose.
Two grand court meetings, a heavy snowfall before the New Year, and an unbearable heat during the dog days of summer. It was not a comfortable life at all.
Just finished complaining.
Frost spread from the outside to the inside, and the chill covered the floor.
The big beaver shuddered, stretched out its claws to scratch, grabbed the little beaver and dragged it into his arms again.
"Is it cooler now?"
“Cool!”
Liang Qu grinned and pulled Long Eying, who was wearing a long dress, to sit beside his bed to feel the cool summer weather.
"It's your first time attending court. Are you nervous?"
"Kind of."
"Don't worry, just follow my mother. Do whatever she does."
"Ah."
This time, Liang Qu was not the only one summoned to the court. Yang Dongxiong, Xu and Long Eying were all summoned. The scene was even grander than the last time when Sheng Shouhu was summoned!
The two of them whispered a few words and kicked each other on tiptoe.
"Master Nine! Madam is calling you out!"
Nandi called outside the door.
"coming!"
……
Meridian Gate.
The imperial city stretches tall and straight, with flags fluttering.
On both sides of the tower, soldiers in tiger armor stood solemn and dignified, and civil and military officials lined up in a row.
Before entering the palace, no one would supervise their behavior, or they would gather in small groups of three or five to discuss state affairs.
"Sir Liang, the palace gates will be open soon. You will go through the main gate alone without anyone accompanying you. This is a big deal, so don't make any mistakes!"
"remember."
Eunuch Li repeated his instructions again and again, but seeing Liang Qu readily agreed, he waved his whisk and chuckled.
"Why isn't Lord Xingyi suspicious this time?"
"Ahem." Liang Qu covered his mouth and coughed, knowing that this was a joke about the last time, "It's better to be careful."
After arranging Liang Qu, Eunuch Li came to Yang Dongxiong again and said, "Lord Yang, Madam Xu and Madam Long, please go through the east door and line up behind Lord Qin. Don't make the mistake in the order..."
"Don't worry, my lord."
All the rules and etiquette were explained.
The eunuch left.
Long Eying pinched her sleeves. She was tall and good-looking, and she couldn't hide herself standing in the team.
Xu patted the back of Long Eying's hand to comfort her.
The crowd gradually gathered in front of the square.
The sky is purple.
The shadow is long and slanted.
thump~
The bells and drums sounded loudly.
The palace gate slowly opened.
The noisy discussions disappeared, leaving only the fluttering flags on the wall.
On both sides of the queue, the prime ministers and princes leading the group had fluttering hair and beards, but they did not walk as usual.
The generals enter first, followed by the close officials, then the dukes, marquises, princes-in-law, and earls, then the five ministries and six departments, and then the officials in the capital.
Usually they leave first.
They moved, and the team behind them could follow. Today was different.
Turn your head slightly and focus on the center.
Youth independence.
"Whoo~"
Liang Qu exhaled faintly, and one person stood in a line.
The main entrance of Meridian Gate.
Except for the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, no one except the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 in the imperial examination can walk through the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
Can a person win the top prize twice?
Look straight to the center.
Walk in all directions.
The tips of her hair lifted slightly, her sleeves swayed lightly, her rings and pendants swayed but did not touch, and did not make any sound or ring.
From the morning sunshine to the shadow under the door, from the scorching heat of summer to the warm spring breeze, from the small riverside village to the majestic imperial capital.
The alternating shadows of light and dark gradually grew sharper and sharper, completely engulfing the lone figure.
Snapped!
The long whip exploded.
The people on the left and right withdrew their gazes, raised their shoes, and filed in.
……
August 21st.
The layered green light reflections on the glazed tiles look like sea waves.
Great court meeting.
Twelve crown tassels hung quietly.
The eunuch read it out, and all officials listed the affairs of all parts of the country.
for a long time.
There was solemn silence in the Tianchen Palace.
Long Eying's heart was beating rapidly.
"Where is Liang Qing's home?"
The censor looked at it intently, and raised his wrist to write in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty!" Liang Qu took a step forward and walked out of the queue.
"Come forward."
The heroic young man walked up to the jade steps and bowed his head to obey orders.
The pillars are vermilion, and the civil and military officials are connected.
The ground was as smooth as a mirror. Through the wooden grilles of the long windows came beams of light, in which dust danced.
He once again stared at his reflection, his hair once again combed neatly, except for the addition of a jade crown.
So young.
Everyone was impressed again.
Under the crown tassel.
"I only rule the country with culture and suppress rebellions with military force. However, the military commanders and generals are the pillars of the court and the pillars of the country. How can their contributions be ignored and their achievements be ignored?
Here is Liang Qu. Since he entered the court, he has been diligent and dedicated, and has made many outstanding achievements. At the age of eighteen and five months, he was promoted to Shouhu; at the age of twenty-two and two months, he was promoted to Zhenxiang, which is enough to demonstrate the prestige of our Dashun and enhance the momentum of our Dashun!
I believe that if the salary is commensurate with the work done, those who have worked will be encouraged and those who have not worked will be envious. "
Say it.
The official from the Honglu Temple took a step forward and looked around.
"Please, Yang Dongxiong, Xu, and Long, come forward!"
Yang Dongxiong walked up quickly and knelt on one knee half a body length to the left of Liang Qu.
Xu knelt down one body length to the right, and Long Eying knelt down half a body length to the right of Xu.
Everyone is present.
Officials from the Honglu Temple unfolded the imperial edict with gold engravings and sang it loudly.
"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, decrees:
The rewards based on merit are not equal to the hard work, which makes the government and the people disappointed and people have different ideas.

The fourteen counties in Pingyang Prefecture were exempted from tax for three years, and no additional tax was allowed for thirty years...
The system says:

I hereby bestow upon you the title of Zhongxian Dafu and bestow upon you the imperial edict...
The system says:
When I was tired in the military, I always thought of my mother; when I was in the royal court, I was honored by my relatives. Your Xu was the adopted mother of Liang Qu, the general of Huaishui. She was good at following the rules of the Hu family and was a good mother...
I hereby bestow upon you the title of a county lady with my great grace...
The edict said:
I have heard that Long'e, the granddaughter of the great elder of the Jianghuai Dragon people, is a beautiful and graceful lady, and she is in love with Liang Qu, a general of the Huai River.

Admire this! "
