Chapter 10

Let’s get to the point, the most critical moment.

Wu Fa knelt on the ground, waiting for his highlight moment: "Fifth grade, it must be fifth grade."

There are countless nobles in Shenjing City, and out of the ten, eight are the descendants of Chengjue's ancestors, so there are not many high-ranking ones, and there are only a handful of super-ranking ones.

Most nobles enjoy wealth but no real power. The most typical ones are the Ningrong Second Mansion. Jia Zhen, a third-rank mighty general, and Jia She, a first-rank divine general, are just lords without real power.

Those who hold real power in Shenjing City must also have soldiers and horses in the army.

The Jingying Jiedu only starts from the first rank of military attache, and the highest officer of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department is the third rank. Although the fifth rank is not high, he is still a titled general. In the sacred city of Jing, especially in the outer city, he is rich enough.

Wu Fa's requirements are not high. If you have nothing to do, don't look for him. Just look for me. I'm a junior official. It's good to have some power and be rich.

While he was thinking about it, the eunuch began to declare: "The emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict says: Since ancient times, the peace of the world has depended on the merits of military generals. Today, there are thousands of households in Beijing Camp, Feihu Camp, Cai Xiong, etc..."

"Give Zhao Gou'er the post of a tiger guarding a thousand households, and Zhang Laoliu the post of a tiger guarding a thousand households."

"Edict..."

"I confer Zhang Guangzhi as General of Wujie, with five cities of troops and horses patrolling the east gate, Liu Fangqi as General of Wude, and five cities of troops and horses patrolling the west city."

"I confer General Cai Xiong Mingwei with the position of commander in chief of Qianji Camp."

The people kneeling on their knees were all beaming with joy. Zhao Gouer and Zhang Laoliu were not only bleached, but also became members of the Sixth Rank Qianhu, and their faces were already blood red with excitement.

Wu Fa's face was full of confusion. In this body's memory, he had no understanding of these official ranks, and his soul came from the later generations, and it was even more confusing.

"I confer the title of General Wu Fa Zhaoyong, the Commander-in-Chief of Huben Camp, and the special title of Third-rate Baron..."

Wu Fa opened his mouth. Why did he not understand the emperor's reward at all?

What grade is General Zhaoyong?

What does "Captain Huben Camp" mean?

Third Baronet...is this a knighthood?

Super quality?

After saying long live for three times, Wu Fa stood up. He couldn't help it anymore. He pulled Zhang Guangzhi's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Old Zhang, what grade of official am I?"

The main hall was already quiet, and although Wu Fa's voice was small, it was still heard.

Emperor Qingyuan, who was about to retire from the court, had a smile in his eyes. I have already finished canonizing this reckless man. I wonder what rank he is?

What a weird thing.

Zhang Guangzhi shook off his hand. This was the Hanyuan Hall, the most majestic and sacred place in the empire. How could he dare to speak casually? He stretched out three fingers and then retracted one.

Wu Fa was really confused. Zhang Guangzhi asked a riddle, but he didn't understand it at all: "What does it mean? Fifth grade?"

Three plus two, doesn’t it make five?

"puff..."

Emperor Qingyuan was in a good mood. He laughed out loud and quickly maintained his dignity: "Wu Aiqing, what are you whispering about?"

Wu Fa rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, I was thinking just now that I would not get promoted and make a fortune. It just so happened that I had just decided to get married and was worried about not having a bigger yard to get married in. But I am very poor..."

The civil and military officials of the entire court were dumbfounded, and there was still such a saucy operation?

That's not what you just said.

Emperor Qingyuan was also slightly stunned: "Well, there used to be an Earl's Mansion in the west of the city. It's pretty good. I'll give it to you. Zheng Qiu, after you retire from the court, you can take Baron Wu to see it."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty once again found out that the mansion that Emperor Qingyuan was talking about was once the residence of the first-class uncle Zhao Xizhi. A few years ago, Zhao Xizhi followed King Zhao to siege the palace, but was captured and beheaded by Manchu. This mansion has always been empty.

This mansion occupies a large area. Zhao Xizhi's ancestor was once the founding county magistrate. The mansion occupies nearly a hundred acres. It is also one of the top mansions in Shenjing City.

"Is it really okay?"

Wu Fa giggled and kowtowed politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After retiring from the court, before Wu Fa could ask Cai Xiong what rank he was, Qin Ye stopped him. Wu Fa's eyes lit up: "My father-in-law, what rank am I?"

Qin Ye smiled slightly and explained to him carefully: "General Zhaoyong is a third-grade military official with a casual duty, and the Commander-in-Chief of Huben Camp is a serious third-grade military official. Huben Camp has ten thousand cavalry and twenty-five thousand miscellaneous soldiers. You

He is the highest official there."

Not bad, third grade, this is far beyond expectations.

A smile appeared on Wu Fa's face, and Qin Ye continued: "The fifth-level lords of Duke Bozi are divided into first, second, and third ranks, and the first to third-level barons are all the first and second ranks."

"Second grade?"

Opening his mouth, Wu Fa felt that he had risen a little quickly?

This is how we saved the princess and the prince. If we save the emperor one day, will we be crowned king?

"Go back, go back. There are still eunuchs in the palace today who will announce the edict. I will go to your house to announce the edict again to show your kindness. The edict will be enshrined in the ancestral hall when the time comes."

Qin Ye told him a few words before leaving.

...

Qin Mansion.

Qin Keqing was embroidering a purse, which looked like it was for men. Qin Keqing was very serious. She knew that Wu Fa had returned victorious last night and was relieved.

Wu Fa has made military exploits and will go to the palace to see the emperor today.

"Why hasn't the master come back yet?"

Compared with Qin Keqing's calmness, Ruizhu was a little anxious: "I really don't know what kind of official I can be granted. Is it a fifth-grade or sixth-grade official?"

"It doesn't matter how many items you have."

Qin Keqing didn't even raise his head: "As long as he is safe."

"That's not the case."

Baozhu blinked: "If a girl marries my uncle, she will have the imperial destiny. Uncle Fa is originally a seventh-grade man, and the girl who marries him will be a seventh-grade child. If uncle Fa is promoted to a fifth-grade man, the girl who marries him will be a pleasant person."

"The nobles and nobles of the imperial court have issued many imperial edicts. Every New Year, they have to go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen. When the time comes, the rank will depend on the ability of the master."

Baozhu smiled and said: "Anyway, the girl is now destined to have a seventh-grade child in her body, which is much better than some white body."

Although there are many nobles in the city, how many of them are young enough to inherit the title?

Even if you marry into a noble family and the husband you marry has no military merit, you will still be white.

Ruizhu rolled her eyelids and continued to embroider: "Baozhu is also an impatient person. What kind of care are you taking? These honors belong to the girl. When the girl marries her, we are just maids and concubines. These honors are not ours."

Bao Zhu blushed with embarrassment: "What about my concubine? Uncle Fa is tall and brave, how can he still wrong us?"

"But Qing..."

Qin Ye's voice sounded outside the door.

Then came the voice of the nun in the mansion: "Is the master coming back from the next court?"

"Mama Liu is preparing meals. I have been hungry all morning."

Qin Ye was in a good mood with a smile on his face.

Although Mammy Liu was confused, every time the master came back from court, he always looked sad. The master’s official rank was not high, and he had been rising up and down over the years, and he often encountered difficulties from his colleagues.

What's good today? It's not a good day either.

"Daddy, are you in a good mood today?"

Qin Keqing poured a cup of tea for Qin Ye: "In the past, my daughter would be very worried when my father came home. He had been wronged."

"hehe."

Qin Ye chuckled softly: "I am laughing as a father. Things in the world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people."

Qin Keqing didn't know why, and Baozhu Ruizhu was very curious.

Qin Ye continued: "This morning, I went to court. Brother Fa was successful in suppressing thieves and saved the eldest princess and the sixth prince. The civil and military officials of the court discussed his reward for a long time."

Baozhuruizhu, completely prick up your ears and listen quietly.

Qin Keqing smiled. It seemed that his father was also satisfied with this son-in-law. Thinking about it, just over a month ago, Uncle Fa recklessly opened the curtain of her sedan chair, thus making a lifelong decision.

At that time, my father was acting like a reckless man, with a sad face.

This fate is so wonderful.
