"Oh, don't you know yet?" General Lin stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, and the scene of the morning court appeared in front of him.

I still remember that at that time, after the ministers finished discussing the affairs of the government, the Minister of Rites came out to make a comment: "Report to Your Majesty, auspiciousness appeared in Shuangliu Village, Guanyin Town, Xiatou, Dongshan County, Dongchuan Province. It turned out to be a small snow-white snake! This is a good omen from the sky. The magistrate of Dongshan County got such treasures. He did not dare to delay for a moment. He had already sent the auspiciousness to the capital. At this time, the person was outside the palace!"

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. "Xuan!"

Then, Gao Feng and Huang Magistrate walked into the hall together.

Today is a grand court meeting, and all civil and military officials gathered together. As soon as they stepped into the court gate, they noticed countless gazes shooting towards them. These officials who were qualified to gain a foothold in the courts in the capital, regardless of their position, were all among the people, so their eyes were particularly sharp.

Being looked at by so many eyes is no different from being publicly executed.

Under the gaze of these people, Huang Zhixian carefully held the glass box containing a small snake in his hand, and his ten fingers were trembling uncontrollably. He simply didn't know how his feet moved forward.

In his hand, the transparent glass box contained a small snake about three feet long. The glass had a very good texture, clear and transparent, and there were no dead corners in all directions. They walked in like this, so that the courtiers on both sides could clearly see how the silver-shining snake wandered vigorously in the box and spit out a letter.

He reached the emperor's dragon throne ten steps away, and the eunuch shouted: "Stop!"

Huang Zhixian and Gao Feng stopped quickly.

Magistrate Huang knelt on both knees and raised the glass box high above his head with both hands: "Your Magistrate, the magistrate of Dongshan County, this time he came to the capital to present auspiciousness!"

"Prefer things up." The emperor's low voice came from above his head.

The eunuch quickly took the glass box and sent it to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at him through the glass, and a stunning look suddenly appeared in his eyes. After taking a closer look, he liked the more he looked, and he became more satisfied with it.

After seeing it enough, he waved his hand: "Take Xiangrui down and let all your dear friends see it."

The eunuch quickly held the glass box and walked around the bottom, allowing all civil and military officials to see the little white snake clearly at close range.

When Gao Feng and the others walked along the way, these people had already seen it briefly. But now they could not help but be surprised when they saw the little white snake carefully. Some of them reacted quickly and had already knelt down and shouted long live, and began to praise the emperor.

These lotus flowers and flattering were so fresh and refined that the emperor had no pores on his body.

The emperor smiled all over his face. When the Xiangrui exhibition was finished, he asked someone to put the box on the desk, and his eyes fell on the two men of Huang Magistrate.

"The magistrate of Dongshan County, you have made great contributions to your contributions, and I will definitely reward you with great rewards!"

After saying that, the old eunuch beside him shouted: "Reward, Huang Youren, the magistrate of Dongshan County, a jade Ruyi, a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of silk..."

"Thank you, the emperor!" After hearing the rewards, Huang Magistrate was so excited that his voice was no longer in tune. He quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

After praising Huang Magistrate, the emperor looked at Gao Feng again.

Now he is in a good mood and is in the mood to say a few words to him.

"You are the one who has auspicious auspiciousness?"

"Your Majesty is the sage." Gao Feng nodded.

"How did you show auspiciousness?"

"There are a few snake eggs in Caomin's home. That day, the snake egg hatched, and this one was there. Caomin didn't dare to delay it, so he quickly reported the matter to the county parents, and then the county parents told the prefect." Gao Feng finished the matter with a few simple words.

"Well, it's very good." The emperor nodded, "Since you have shown auspiciousness, it means that this is a great merit given to you by God. Since that's the case, I want to grant you an earl."

"Emperor, Caomin doesn't want titles." Gao Feng shook his head.

The emperor smiled instantly.

"Don't want a title? Then what do you want?"

Gao Feng seemed not to notice the emperor's bad mood, and answered seriously: "Your Majesty, Caomin is a farmer and doesn't understand anything else. If you give him a title, won't Caomin be unable to farm in the future? And if you become an official, Caomin will have to interact with so many people in the future. Caomin really doesn't know the etiquette and other things, and Caomin doesn't want to. Caomin thinks that life is good in the countryside now, Caomin has agreed with Caomin's wife that after returning from the capital this time, we will continue to farm!"

"You...hahaha!" Seeing him saying such a honest and honest manner, the emperor's bad mood disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.

Seeing this, all the civil and military officials naturally laughed.

The emperor laughed for a long time, and tears came out of his eyes, and finally stopped to breathe a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay. If you want to farm safely, I will fulfill you. But I can't give you nothing, right!"

"Then please ask the emperor to give Caomin and Caomin's younger brother a pair of magic treasures!" Gao Feng said immediately.

The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Do you want my magic treasure?"

Gao Feng nodded quickly. "Caomin raises snakes in the countryside, and now it is quite large. This auspiciousness hatched from the eggs laid by those snakes. Your Majesty, you said, this is a great merit given to Caomin, which means that God also agrees with Caomin's doing what Caomin is doing now. If this matter can be recognized by the Emperor, Caomin will be more confident in doing things in the future! As for Caomin's younger brother, he is a businessman. The business is hard, and Caomin also wants to give him some guarantees."

As soon as he said this, many people changed their faces.

This village man is really brave! He first refused the emperor's reward, and then he even took the initiative to ask for it! And even if he asked, he still wanted two more! He is called greed!

The emperor also frowned slightly. "I really didn't expect that your brothers have such a good relationship. It's this time, you're still thinking about him."

"That's it. Although Caomin's younger brother is not close to Caomin, Caomin is thanks to him. Of course, he has today, and Caomin has helped him a lot. We support each other to have today, and we will continue to help each other until we get old." Gao Feng continued to answer honestly.

Is this person really honest or too good at pretending?

The emperor couldn't help but frown slightly. He stared at Gao Feng seriously for a while, and finally confirmed - well, he was really honest.

However, there are indeed not many people who still think about brothers at this critical moment these days, especially those who are not blood-connected brothers?

The emperor immediately became interested in his brother. "Tell me about you and your brother."

Gao Feng immediately told the story between him and Zhang Yuanli. Of course, he only talked about some of their past in a concise manner, and all those irrelevant plots were omitted.

But the emperor also learned from his words how Gao Feng was bullied and excluded because he was not born with his parents. Zhang Yuanli was bullied by his stepmother and ignored her. In the end, he was almost killed by his younger brother! But even so, Gao Feng still asked someone to help his mother and younger brother in private so that they would not starve to death. Zhang Yuanli also raised his parents and brothers in a countryside village with delicious food and drink, and his younger brothers were arranged by him to have a good marriage, so that the whole family would not have to worry about food and clothing.

As for the two of them who were abused by their relatives, they hugged each other and kept warm, and their relationship naturally became better and better.

This sincere brotherly friendship touched the emperor deeply.

At the end of the hearing, the emperor's nose was a little pantothenic.

Of course, something more satisfying to him was one more - this glass box containing the little white snake was created by Zhang Yuanli. This thing is very suitable for his wishes, so he doesn't mind giving one more person.

"In this way, you brother is indeed worthy of this reward. Since that's the case, I will approve your request."

When the old eunuch heard this, he quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, prepare your pen and ink!"

"yes!"

The little eunuchs quickly brought the four treasures of the study.

The emperor picked up the pen and wrote two words. The eunuch blew it dry, so he picked it up and showed it to the ministers to watch.

One of them says "The Family of Accumulating Good" and the other one says "Yuqing".

The ministers naturally praised them again.

Finally, the emperor said to Gao Feng again: "Although you rejected my reward, there are still too few words. So, I will give you another juren. With this status, you can at least not kneel down when you meet the officials, and you can be on an equal footing with your local officials. If you don't want to do business in the future, the Lumi given by the court can support the family."

"Thank you, the emperor! Long live the emperor!" Gao Feng kowtowed and thanked him quickly.

The emperor was satisfied and winked at the old eunuch around him. The old eunuch quickly shouted: "Retreat the court!"

He hurriedly hugged the glass box containing the little white snake and hurriedly chased the emperor's steps.

Seeing that the emperor had left, the ministers naturally retreated one after another. Everyone subconsciously ignored Gao Feng and Huang Magistrate who were still kneeling on the ground.

Yes. Those who can gain a foothold in the capital are either from aristocratic families or are amazing and brilliant. They are simply disdainful of Gao Feng and the two people who showed up in front of the emperor through auspiciousness. Not to mention, even if they contributed auspiciousness, these two people only gained some benefits, and their status did not rise much significantly - at least, they are still very different from those of them who appear in the court.

For two people who are most likely to have no interest in their future, they have no intention of getting close to these two people.

However, General Lin was more careful. As everyone walked out, he suddenly looked back and saw that Huang Magistrate was still kneeling on the ground, but Gao Feng had already gotten up. He helped Huang Magistrate up, but Huang Magistrate was still weak and could only lean on him weakly.

Gao Feng held Huang Zhixian's arm with one hand, reached behind him with the other hand and pinched the clothes on his back, forcing him to straighten his body. Then the two of them turned around and walked out slowly.

In this way, Huang Magistrate seemed to be walking out as usual.

In this palace where people come and go, his posture does not seem very cowardly and embarrassing.

Although Old General Lin had already turned around the moment they turned around, this scene was still deeply imprinted in General Lin's mind.

Walking out of the palace, the court officials were all talking about what Gao Feng did in the court today.

"Are you stupid? The emperor gave him a title, which allowed him to live a stable and comfortable life. As a result, he would not have a good title, just two words given by the emperor! One of them is for his brothers! Even brothers, even the closest relatives of blood cannot fully believe it, let alone those who have been together halfway? Now they can share hardships, but after they reach the end, they will break up and attack each other less?"

"Yes, I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a stupid person! He is a rough man like him, and he can enjoy his whole life with a title. But he refused. Although the emperor later gave him a juren, what's the use? With his ability, he can't be an official, so he can only get a little bit of money every month. He really ruined the identity of this juren and the title!"

"Isn't it? I don't know what he was thinking. When I heard his rejection, I almost wanted to go over and cover his mouth!"

...

Of course, most of the people who talked about the big talk at the gate of the palace were just small officials with a small status. The real officials in the court were too lazy to talk about this matter. They were busy, and who was interested in this farmer who came out halfway?

But after getting on the way home, General Lin asked the servant who led his horse: "Do you think this farmer is really stupid or fake stupid?"

"I don't know if it's really stupid, but the villain thinks that this person's choice is not wrong." The servant answered honestly.

"Oh?" Old General Lin raised his eyebrows, "How can I see it?"

The servant replied: "The villain is poor and cannot afford to raise so many children, so he was sold by his family at the age of seven. But over the years, when the villain followed you, he ran over and got close to the villain, crying poor every day for money. Of course, the people of the rich and wealthy family do not understand the sorrow of the farmer, but the villain can understand the situation of the farmer."

"Is that true? Then tell me."

"Yes. The villain thought that a mere title would look good when it was said, but it was actually just a false reputation, but what would it be useful to him in the future? And if he really got the title, the relatives in his family would definitely come to cause trouble again. If he sued him for abandonment, he would not be able to explain even if he had a hundred mouths on his body. But if he took his mother and brother to the mansion to live together? That was just disgusting their family. Anyway, it was not nice to say that the villain would not want to meet the so-called relatives now. Give them some money to live every month, which would be a complete devotion to the righteousness."

"So, he refused the title, but asked the emperor to give them a few words. He also informed the emperor of his situation. Now, it was through the emperor's mouth that the emperor had already determined that what they had done before was right and nothing was wrong! Then, he could continue to do it rightly, and his adoptive mother and younger brother could no longer cause trouble for him. After all, who dares to refute the emperor's words?"

"In the future, as long as they keep this treasure at home and put it in the most conspicuous position, that is, Tai Sui, Zhenshan, and can do everything they can invincible! By the way, he also brought his good brothers and showed his honest and loyal nature and his true nature. This means that he will be loyal to the emperor now after receiving the reward from the emperor. How could the emperor not give him such a face?"

Since ancient times, the attitude of subjects towards the emperor has been promoted by the state is two words - loyalty.

Gao Feng did it completely.
