Chapter 457 – Xue Mu Marquis

In the past, Xiahou Di seldom went to the court, basically did not participate in, when called or something to go to the court. But once she is in the court, she has a special feature: she is the only person who can “sword to the temple”.

This period of time is more special, as the most representative of the court’s external military representatives, can be regarded as a “general”? With the emperor unable to see things, she could only come every day to participate in the deliberations of the Hall of Government.

The other day was very boring, and the focus was on the partisan fighting. Even the selection of a person to replace Governor Huang, who was lying ill in Yizhou, was torn to the point where he had not yet been selected, Xiahou Di was disappointed beyond measure and had long been holding her anger in her stomach. That day tired to lean on Xue Mu’s shoulder, the fatigue of this dynasty dispute also accounted for a large proportion.

It was only yesterday that there was something that made Xiahou Di’s eyes light up, and that was Xue Mu’s proposal to use new materials to pave roads, or set up tracks. Li Yingqing said that Shenji Sect was very confident in developing paving materials that did not cost much, and suggested that the Council of State study the implementation program and set up a pilot.

Due to Li Yingqing’s push for this matter, coupled with the fact that it was Xue Mu’s idea that led to Eunuch Li’s strong support, coupled with Minister Su Duancheng’s belief that this was a good thing, under the consensus of the three parties’ bigwigs, it actually became the first practical discussion in the past few days and was seen discussing the prototype. Xiahou Di is not an expert on this and does not speak, but listening to people discussing it is a good mood. The only defeat appetite is the righteous king party people here jabbering, prick against, she has endured for a long time.

Today, when Eunuch Li presided over the meeting, he showed the emperor’s edict, saying that he would let the Political Affairs Hall discuss Xue Mu’s merits. This edict let Xiahou Di and surprised and happy, she did not know before and Ji Qingyuan mentioned a few times, Ji Qingyuan always pressed ignore, this time is how to get the hang of it?

To know Xue Mu before those merits, not only is Xue Mu’s own, at the same time on behalf of the Department of Six Sectors of the merit and face, even if Xue Mu and she did not have ambiguity, as a qualified leader has to do for their subordinates to fight for.

Just as she was about to express her agreement with her hands up, a discordant voice came out first: “Xue Mu stirred up trouble, framed the court for getting Ding, and ultimately led to Governor Huang’s assassination, the crime hasn’t been asked yet, how can we discuss the merits?”

Eunuch Li said sorrowfully, “His majesty ordered to discuss the merits, you have to discuss the crimes, is it because you think that King Yi’s likes and dislikes are more important than His majesty’s will?”

The man didn’t dare to take the blame, so he said, “Xue Mu is the lord of the city, he doesn’t care about politics, and his appraisal is inferior. It is also hanging a constable identity to go to the heron state to do something, the benefit is still the blameless temple and the star moon sect, what is the merit ……”

Xiahou Di’s face clouded to the bottom.

Eunuch Li glanced at Xiahou Di’s expression, his heart was amused, deliberately said, “Xue Mu in Heron State, always using the identity of Department Six Gold Medal Constable to act on behalf of Department Six. To this day, the people of Heron State are still praising Department Six’s envoys, not the Star Moon Sect, Servant Qian needs to be clear about that.”

That person said, “That is also an internal mission of Department Six, what credit is counted, one will not be promoted internally, but also the court discussion?”

Xiahou Di was furious, directly drew his sword and chopped it on the table, Jian pointed and said, “What Xue Mu did is not only his own task of discussing martial arts, but on behalf of the court to save the people of a state from being hanged upside down, which is the merit of Department Six in the world! Who dares to say that it’s not a merit of my Department Six, stand out and let this seat see what worldly merits you have, and dare to talk big here!”

Several people’s faces were green, Su Duan Cheng hurriedly persuaded, “Chief Constable Xiahou please calm down please calm down please calm down, have a good conversation.”

Xiahou Di one does not two do not rest, loudly vented out the accumulated grievances for many days: “Xiahou thought they do not understand the political affairs, quite expect a group of important ministers can have what the political affairs of the high opinion, however, discussing politics for many days, only to see the struggle for power and profit endlessly, in the country in the people really do not have a plan! On the contrary, your mouth is not meritorious Department Six constable, in the consideration of the people to open the road, in the consideration of the power of the ship, such as the important ministers of the country, in vain to eat the king’s salary, in vain to enjoy the people’s wealth, rather than not ashamed of it? According to this seat, do not need other merits, single this one, Xue Mu Duke and Marquis can do!”

This time even Su Dancheng face are green, this is even he together scolded into the …… But the face of a furious Xiahou Di, he did not want to argue “why will fight first” this kind of problem can not be pulled, only have to avoid the importance of the light said:”. Xue Mu this proposal is indeed meritorious for the gods and goddesses, but …… Oh, but Gong Hou can be impulsive, the chief constable calm down, calm down.”

Xiahou Di did not buy it: “What impulsive? Righteousness eight sects can seal the marquis, Star and Moon Sect can not seal? Lin Wu Ya, who doesn’t ask about anything, can be the Marquis of the Sword, but Xue Mu, who has a lot of achievements, can’t be? Give me a reason!”

Su Duancheng can only explain: “The court has its own rules and regulations, and the Chief Constable can’t directly promote anyone in Department Six to a jade tablet just because they’ve accomplished a great deal, can he? Always have to accumulate merit and become it. The title of the eight clans is only hereditary, can not be evidence.”

Xiahou Di said, “Then good ah, accumulate merit is it. Xue Mu dedication to the new show spectrum, the benefits of the court control of the jianghu is obvious, it should be promoted son, right? On his way to Luzhou, he saved countless martial artists from the Devil’s Sect, so he should be promoted to uncle, right? If you’ve solved the pandemic in Luju, you should be a marquis, right? As for the daily newspaper to offer advice, so that the financial revenue, road track to offer advice, so that the transportation is convenient, I don’t even say to be crowned king, just together, accumulated merit to be appointed a public is also.”

A group of important ministers can not bear to look at the side of the head, this time to see Xiahou Di has calmed down, this is looking for trouble, of course she knows it is not counted like this ah ……

Eunuch Li smiled again to round off the scene: “Some merit can be promoted to the official position, some merit can be rewarded, and is not so calculated.”

In fact, some feats can even reward can not, praise can be …… and several levels of the title, even if you want to increase the title is also from the third level to the second level, which is from the male to the son from the son to the Burr, so good to rise, that is not all over the world to seal the king?

Of course at this time no one will go to the court to draw the knife of the madman to explain these problems, along with Eunuch Li’s words can give some rewards to send off the pull down. Immediately someone answered: “Eunuch Li said is not bad, can give more wealth and land, Department of six to give a real job, Jennifer one level …….”

Immediately someone said: “Can not give real jobs!”

This is to go out of the way, sparing to be chopped also can not let Xue Mu have more capital to make waves. In fact, this is the public heart to come ……

Xiahou Di looked askance at the past, was about to scold, Eunuch Li directly said: “not to the real position, then in the virtual title on the more offset, or can not be accounted for.”

Xiahou Di was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was also quite good. If to Xue Mu really raised a Department Six within what the main thing, Xue Mu received is also throw hands regardless of, she also headache, so before joking let him wash clothes to go. Since Eunuch Li proposes to fold the false lord, but more in line with her intention.

Thinking about it, she didn’t say anything, but just pondered what way to give Xue Mu more benefits.

When she didn’t think of it, she heard Li Yingqing say: “In that case, nowadays, we are planning to pave roads and set up railroads, which is exactly the time to use the money, so don’t reward it, and fold it into a virtual title. Xue Mu has no real position, what’s the point of having a higher title? It’s also good to rest the hearts of the court.”

This said a lot of people and is embarrassed and fierce province, as long as not to give real position, the virtual title again high also can not turn up the waves well.

Xiahou Di also secretly sighed, she knew that Li Yingqing this is in the help of Xue Mu, some people may think that the virtual number is useless, but she knew that if you ask Xue Mu himself, but also inevitably do not want to see the reward of that point, meaningless.

Eunuch Li smiled and said, “In my opinion, Xue Mu has accumulated a lot of merits, he can be appointed as a third-class marquis, with no increase in his cognac.”

Cognac is not added, that is, the welfare treatment does not move in the slightest, the real virtual title, only the name is good to hear. Xiahou Di also do not know the usefulness of this to Xue Mu, but also know that this is the limit, then also do not go to argue, sit back to the position of the knife into the sheath.

Seeing that this star finally sat down, many people wiped their cold sweat and breathed out, as if they had won the battle. They have forgotten that Xue Mu was originally appointed a son at most, not even the door of the uncle, but he jumped into a marquis …….

Su Duan cost to have an opinion, but look at this attitude of Xiahou Di, also really do not want to nag what, this is also settled.

Eunuch Li also said: “His Majesty’s intention, the previous Phoenix feudal title is too hasty, let the Ministry of Rites to discuss, what title should be changed.”

This kind of trivial matter, no one in the world except Xue Mu himself is afraid to care. The Minister of Rites didn’t even bother to turn over the system, and directly asked Xiahou Di: “According to the Chief Constable’s opinion, what are Marquis Xue’s virtues?”

Xiahou Di hesitated for a long time, seems to think that Xue Mu really does not have too conspicuous character, his view of benevolence and righteousness is a little bit confused, and horny …….

Well …… it seems like Xue Mu doesn’t have a record of going back on his word? Xiahou Di was a bit unsure, hesitated and said: “Integrity is still okay,…….”

The heart suddenly also laugh, they like him, but even his advantages can not say, love a word is really very unreasonable.

Ministry of Rites Shangshu waved his hand: “Then …… how about Changxin Hou?”

Xiahou Di has no opinion, quite good ……

After the meeting was adjourned, Xue Mu, who received a joyful report from Eunuch Li, listened to this title in the hands of the melon are off, dumbfounded.

Who is the Marquis of Changxin?

The obscenity of the palace exams of the Lao Ai, can use that thing on top of the wheel of the Lao big god ah!
