"Oh, Marquis! Why are you still here? "
Meng Youliang and Meng Wenhao had just walked to the dock when they heard the eunuch shouting at Li Zexuan.
"Marquis?
When Meng Youliang and Meng Wenhao heard how the eunuch addressed Li Zexuan, they couldn't help but be surprised. They secretly wondered when Li Zexuan became Marquis. One of them had just returned after drifting on the sea for several months, while the other had received closed military training in the academy. They had no way to know about the news from the outside world, so they didn't know that Li Zexuan had been conferred the title of Marquis today.
"His Majesty conferred Yamachō the title of Marquis of Yong 'an in the morning court. This news had already spread by noon!"
Although the father and son of the Meng family spoke softly, Mo Zhong was a martial arts expert in the Qi Transformation Realm, so he naturally heard it clearly. Therefore, he explained to the two in a low voice.
"Yamachō has been conferred the title of Marquis? That's really great! "
Meng Wenhao was sincerely happy.
Although Li Zexuan was strict with his students, he was always full of kindness behind his sternness. The other students of Yanhuang College might not know this, but the group of students who used to study in the Mathematics School all wanted Li Zexuan to be well.
At this time, Li Zexuan asked, "What does this little eunuch mean? If I'm not here, where should I go? "
The little eunuch hurriedly trotted to Li Zexuan's side with a flattering face and said, "Marquis, Steward Zhao left the palace with us to deliver the decree. He's probably looking for you all over the Yunshan Mountain right now! Quickly go back and receive the decree! "
Li Zexuan suddenly realized that the official decree to confer him the title of Marquis of Yong 'an hadn't been issued yet! Therefore, he bid farewell to Yan Lide and Xiao Yu, and told Li Tai and the rest to work hard and not be lazy. Only then did he get on his horse and gallop towards the Yunshan Mountain.
The crowd at the dock all knew that Li Zexuan had been conferred the title of Marquis after hearing the explanations of some insiders. Heartfelt congratulations immediately filled the air.
"Li Xiannan has been conferred the title of Marquis, this is really great!"
"Yes, Li Xiannan, oh, no, it should be Marquis. Marquis of Yong 'an so kind and considerate of the common people should be conferred the title of Marquis and have a long life!"
"Yes! With Marquis Marquis Yong the Marquis? Who knows, maybe it will be our family's turn! Look, compared to our Village's Marquis our ''s Compared to Heaven and Earth! "
"Yes!" "It's just that I don't know how big Marquis Yong 'an's fief is. It would be great if my family could become one of his farmers!"
What this person said was exactly what the others were hoping for. Li Zexuan was already famous for treating the people of his fief well. The Marquis of the Han Village and Marquis of Plum Village were now rich and had become the 'model villages' of the villages near Chang 'an City. They were often talked about with great interest, and of course, were also the targets of envy.
"Heh, I know this. Marquis Yong 'an's fief is in Lantian County, and there are six hundred households living there! Our Liu Village is definitely in there, haha! In the future, the farmers of the Liu Village will also be able to live good lives! "
"Six hundred households? His Majesty is truly generous to Marquis Yong 'an! "
One must know that Duke of Lu Cheng Yaojin only had seven hundred households living in his fief, Duke of Yi Qin Qiong also had seven hundred households living in his fief, Duke of Wei Li Jing only had four hundred households living in his fief, and Li Zexuan, as a Marquis, actually had six hundred households living in his fief! Among the Marquises of the Great Tang Empire, Li Zexuan's fief was definitely at the forefront!
One must know that it was six hundred households living there! What did six hundred households mean? It meant that in the future, Li Zexuan would truly be sitting on thousands of acres of fertile land and become a super landlord. In the future, even if he didn't do anything, he would still be able to live a life of extravagance.
"Ah ~? Why is it in Lantian County and not in Xinfeng County? There is no hope for our Stone Village now! "
Instantly, there were sounds of regret from the surroundings.
"Meng Youliang, listen to the imperial edict!"
After seeing Li Zexuan leave, the little eunuch looked at the father and son of the Meng Family standing at the side and then shouted with a sharp voice.
Meng Youliang's father was so excited that he almost knelt down. Fortunately, Meng Wenhao knew the rules and knew that he didn't need to kneel down to receive the imperial edict. He quickly pulled his father and the two of them faced the direction of the imperial palace and bowed. Meng Youliang said in a trembling voice, "Meng Youliang … respectfully listens to the imperial edict!"
The surrounding people turned their attention back to the two of them. They looked at Meng Youliang and his father with a trace of doubt in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't understand why Li Er would give an imperial edict to a commoner.
"The Emperor of the Great Tang Empire decrees: Meng Youliang, the crew member of the southbound fleet, loudly warned at the critical moment when the fleet was attacked and prevented the merchant ship from falling into the hands of the bandits. Moreover, your loyalty and bravery are unparalleled. At the moment of life and death, you forcefully changed the direction of the burning ship and saved the main fleet. I have decided to confer you the title of Xuanjie Commandant of the Eighth Rank and reward you with 100,000 yuan and 100 bolts of silk and satin ~! Imperial edict ~! "
As the little eunuch's voice fell, the crowd was in an uproar. The man in front of them, who looked incomparably humble, was actually conferred the title of Xuanjie Commandant of the Eighth Rank by the Emperor. This made countless people envious and jealous!
The person involved, Meng Youliang, was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he would be conferred the title of an official! Official, for the previous Meng Youliang, was so far away. He only hoped that his son would study hard and in the future, he would be able to enter the imperial court as an official. He never thought that he would be one step ahead of his son to become an official! How is this possible!? He is just a peasant who doesn't know how to read and write ~!
Meng Youliang's mother, who was worried about her husband, came to observe. At this moment, after hearing the imperial edict, on one hand, she was shocked that her husband was conferred the title of an official. On the other hand, she was frightened and sad because the imperial edict mentioned the bandits and the words of life and death. Meng Youliang's mother instantly understood how those scars on Meng Youliang's body came about. Almost subconsciously, the image of a fierce battle in the sea appeared in her mind. Her husband was seriously injured and on the verge of death. The tears in her eyes suddenly burst out!
"Mother ~! Why are you crying ~? "
Yaya felt a chill on her arm. She raised her head and saw that her mother was actually crying silently. The little girl immediately felt grief from the bottom of her heart and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Mother is fine, mother is fine …"
On the other side, Meng Wenhao saw his father in a daze and quickly shouted, "Father, father, quickly go and receive the imperial edict!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Meng Youliang suddenly came back to his senses. He put his hand on his body and rubbed it hard as if he wanted to shed a layer of skin. Then he went to the side of the little eunuch and respectfully clasped his fist and said, "Meng Youliang receives the imperial edict, thank you ~!"
The little eunuch squinted his eyes and handed the imperial edict to Meng Youliang. According to reason, at this time, he should offer the wedding money, but Meng Youliang's mind was full of confusion at this moment. How could he think of this? Fortunately, Feng Zhihua heard the news and rushed over.
"Happy event, very happy event! This little eunuch has worked hard all the way. Just take it as the tea money. I hope little eunuch will accept it! "
