Chapter 80 Don't! Don't! Let go of me
Zhou An was named the county marquis!
In terms of the title system of the Donggan Dynasty, Zhou An directly skipped the three titles of county, county male and county lord, and directly granted the title of county marquis. Although he was the lowest among marquises and had the lowest fief, he could not compare to the county marquis with a fief of 3,000 Kanglongji, and even more than the Wanhu Marquis of Wu Xukuan, this was also a real marquis!
From then on, Zhou An can be respectfully called the Marquis by the people below!
In fact, when you are in the capital, you can be said to have a large number of county marquises, which is nothing. On the one hand, it is because there are too many royal relatives and nobles here. On the other hand, Donggan has established the country for more than 300 years and has been awarded titles, especially in the capital.
The county marquis is just a small role. In terms of starting a new category, it is equivalent to a third rank who is still a third rank without real power. Compared with the fourth rank with real power, the fifth rank is not as good as a fifth rank. After all, it is just a false title. Just from the title, there are county marquis above the county marquis, and then county monarchs, auxiliary monarchs, and the kings of the state, and the kings of the state, and the kings of the state, and the title is the king. Starting from the county monarch, it is also the prince and the noble prince.
The highest title is the first-class noble prince who is actually awarded, and his grade is superb.
Zhou An was named the Marquis of Gaoyang County, Gaoyang County... It is the Gaoyang County, which is now stationed with Wu Xukuan's 100,000 Chuanhe Army. It is not far from Ganjing City. However, Zhou An does not need to go to Gaoyang County, because his title is not a real title, so he does not need to go to his fiefdom.
In fact, under the First Class Prince, there is no need to consider the issue of real seal, and there is no real seal.
In addition to the fact that the Donggan Dynasty had actually won a group of titles when it was first established, it was only a handful of titles that were actually awarded for more than 300 years. In the past 100 years, only one person was actually awarded the title of the first-class noble prince, that is, the eldest brother of the current Emperor Shenzhao, the eldest son of the Emperor Shendu and Emperor Shizong.
Wuyunzhuang was originally the crown prince, but was implicated by the "White Jade Case" that happened eight years ago and was deposed as the crown prince. The Empress of the God Capital also named her "King of Fengzhong" and drove her to a remote place in the south, "Fengliangzhou".
The "Fengzhong King" in Wuyunzhuang is the first-class noble prince who was actually granted, and the fief is Fengliangzhou.
The conditions for being sealed are too harsh, which is almost impossible for the current Donggan Dynasty. The situation in Wuyunzhuang can be said to be too special and cannot be copied.
Therefore, there is no need to consider the issue of real sealing.
Nowadays, no relatives and nobles with titles and fiefs in the capital have been granted a real title. Whether it is a county or a first-class prince, it is not a real title.
A title that is not a real title is simply a false title, which is just an identity.
But its significance is extraordinary.
Although there are many county marquises who are in the capital, it is amazing that they can be named county marquis as castrated!
How many times have eunuchs been granted the title of marquis in the entire Donggan history?
As for the current Donggan, only two people were granted marquis as eunuchs, one was Kanglongji, who was granted county marquis, and the other was Zhou An, who was granted county marquis.
Zhou An, as the emperor's servant, was a eunuch in charge of the inner court, and one of the major general managers who held real power. Now he has been named a county marquis. His saint's family is probably already chasing Kang Longji, who served the four generations of emperors of Donggan.
In this feudal dynasty where emperors were highly centralized, the more powerful the holy relatives became, the greater the power.
Therefore, Zhou An was granted the title of marquis, which will naturally further enhance his power.
It can even be said that in the inner court that has completely eliminated the stranger, the Chief Manager of Kanglongji, and Zhou An, who had just been named a marquis, is the Second Chief Manager!
Of course, Zhou An's increase in power this time is probably limited to being in the inner court.
After leaving the inner court, Zhou An's power would not be greatly improved due to Wu Xukuan's relationship, but more people will begin to pay attention to him, pay attention to him, and even regard him as a thorn in his eyes.
...
At noon on October 15th, the dynasty was only two hours away. The incident of Wu Xukuan and all the civil and military officials in the morning of this morning spread throughout the capital.
This naturally caused an unprecedented sensation! An uproar!
There are even more sensational!
That is, Wu Xukuan failed. The reason for his failure is that he was criticized! And he was so angry that he could not get out of Taiwan and almost was "dead to death".
Zhou An's name had been spread throughout Ganjing before. At that time, most ordinary people in Ganjing had the impression of Zhou An. The imperial envoy responsible for the "assassination case" was a young, talented and ruthless master, the empress's confidant.
Now, they have a new impression of Zhou An.
Some people think that although he is young, he is extremely talented, brave and resourceful, and his loyalty is a witness to heaven and earth, and he is a wise official.
There are even scholars and scholars who look down on the eunuchs the most and applaud Zhou An, because Zhou An defeated the conspiracy of Wu Xukuan, a traitor.
Of course, some people think that Zhou An is an arrogant and ignorant madman, a fool who lost his mind for the sake of temporary favor. He dared to challenge Wu Xukuan in public in the court, which is beyond description.
Those who commented on Zhou An were basically those "savvy people". They knew how bad the current situation was, and that the change of dynasty seemed to happen at any time.
Wu Xukuan not only controlled most of the troops in the city, but also transferred 100,000 heavy troops outside the city. If he wanted to rebel by force, he would do it immediately, but he just didn't want to rebel directly by force, so he kept dragging it on. He wanted to complete the change of imperial power in the "moderate" way through other means.
But no matter which way Wu Xukuan seized the Donggan Kingdom, it seems that he has a greater chance of winning. Empress Shen Zhao, who has only ascended the throne for only half a year, can be said to be in a desperate situation and is just struggling to death now.
In this case, Zhou An also jumped out to confront Wu Xukuan. Although he solved the Empress's temporary danger, from the overall situation, he was really trying to die! This is not something that a normal person can do.
The news spread in Ganzhou, and soon it reached the level of high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and barracks.
Their evaluation of Zhou An soon became polarized.
In fact, more people applauded Zhou An, and even changed their views on the eunuch group. After all, the awe of imperial power is deeply rooted in the bones of civilians. For civilians, they naturally hope that the country will not change.
In the afternoon, new news spread.
Only about the eunuch Zhou An, the Silijian, who wrote a pen.
He was named the Marquis of Gaoyang County.
...
Late at night, the imperial city is located in Ganwu Palace.
Outside the empress's bedroom, in the wide yard, Zhou An, wearing a nine-python colored robe, danced his sword under the moon.
The python robe is a lower robe than the dragon robe, but it is also a robe that can only be worn by relatives and nobles. Only the first-class princes can wear dragon robes. Ordinary princes and marquis can only wear python robes. According to their status, the number of pythons on the robe is different.
Zhou An, the marquis of Gaoyang County, can wear python robes, but can only wear python robes embroidered with five pythons in a single color. He is now wearing the top-level colorful nine python robes, which the empress can enjoy alone.
The Empress has already rested, and Zhou An will be on duty for the Empress today.
Today he was also named the Constant Attendant of the Ganwu Palace, just as he was the Constant Attendant of Xichun Palace before, and he wanted to serve Princess Yunjing at night. From today on, he would take shifts with many other Constant Attendant Attendant of the Ganwu Palace, and would pay the Empress every few days.
In fact, Zhou An is not worthy of the night because he is still the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor. He thought that if he was not worthy of the night, he would not be worthy of the night.
Zhou An just didn't refuse.
Anyway, he couldn't sleep late at night, and he was idle even while he was idle. In fact, he was still thinking about whether to eat barbecue tonight, and then he pulled Gao Hong to drink a little wine together. Isn't it so pleasant, but after thinking about it, he just did it. The first time he came to the empress to have barbecue outside the door when he was on duty for the night, it seemed too presumptuous and not good.
Zhou An was like a floating ghost, wandering around the courtyard.
In order not to cause any movement, he was afraid of disturbing the empress's rest, so he used his body technique to the extreme. His steps were silent, his body was flashing and moving as if he was floating. Even the sword was silent.
It is worth mentioning that the sword Zhou An used at this time was the "bloodless sword".
It was the soft sword of Geng Qiunian, the left guardian of the Pure Land Buddhism. At that time, Geng Qiunian was captured alive by Zhou An, so Zhou An naturally confiscated his weapons.
This sword is a very famous magic weapon in the world. The reason why Geng Qiunian is known as the Bloodless Sword is because of his sword. The reason why this sword is called the Bloodless Sword is because the sword is too sharp, and it cuts iron like mud, kills people without blood. In addition, the sword's sword is covered with unique red patterns, so that even if it is stained with a little blood, it cannot be seen.
Although the Bloodless Sword is not one of the top ten magical weapons in the world, it ranks on the list of hundreds of soldiers in the world and ranks 76th.
On the list of hundreds of soldiers in the world, most of the weapons are swords, but there are only three soft swords, which is one of them.
Zhou An was well-versed in swordsmanship. He collected more than a thousand secret books in his previous life. He collected a lot of swordsmanship secrets. Because the legendary immortals used swords, Zhou An stubbornly believed that if he practiced weapons, he would practice swords.
However, the method of using soft swords is different from normal swordsmanship.
It's even harder.
So now Zhou An is, practice if you have something to do or not.
"No! No! Let me go..." A panic suddenly came from the bedroom.
Zhou An suddenly stopped his momentum, then turned into a shadow and rushed directly to the gate of the bedroom.
The two eunuchs standing outside the door were immediately cheered up, but one of them heard him say to Zhou An: "Don't panic, father-in-law, the emperor is probably having a nightmare again."
"Do you often do this?" Zhou An asked with his head tilted.
"This has been like this in recent months." The eunuch replied in a low voice.
Zhou An looked at the door of the bedroom again, thought for a while, then raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, saying, "Master, are you okay?"
"I'm not in a way." The empress's voice came from the bedroom immediately. Then, the empress's voice sounded again: "Is it Xiao Anzi? But Xiao Anzi is outside?" She heard Zhou An's voice.
"I am a slave, today I am a servant for you." Zhou An replied.
"It's you..." The empress said, and was silent again, but soon she said: "Xiao Anzi, come in and talk."
