216 Rising to a thousand households

Shaoqing saw a luxurious eunuch who was surrounded by several waiting guards in a furious manner and strode in. Lu Haoshan clearly saw that this person had white face and no beard, his skin was as delicate as a woman, and he had no Adam's apple. It should be the eunuch sent to the palace to announce the imperial eunuch.

Tang Zhen described the eunuch in "Qian Shu" like this: "It is not like a human body, it is not like a human face, it is not like a human voice, it is not like a human voice, it is not like a human being when it is observed." It feels really a bit strange, but eunuchs are a microcosm of feudal society. In later generations, human rights organizations will probably attack them again.

"Jiangyou County Magistrate Lu Wenhua received the order." As soon as the eunuch entered the door, he immediately made a sound similar to the voice of a duck man.

Lu Haoshan was shocked and quickly knelt down and said, "Lu Wenhua is here."

At this time, Su Fang, the official of the Lifang Office, had already set up the incense table and burned it. When he saw Lu Haoshan kneeling down, the people present, except for the eunuch's waiting guard, all of them knelt down to listen to the orders. For them, this was a very sacred moment, as if the emperor's true dragon light shone on them, and the heads of the old gentry were about to touch the ground.

The eunuch had a sharp eye. He just glanced at him and saw Lu Haoshan, wearing a seventh-rank official uniform and kneeling in front of the crowd. Then he coughed and said, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that Jiangyou County Magistrate Lu Wenhua was diligent in his work and loved the people, had outstanding political achievements, and had a great reputation for his official reputation. He led the village bravely to step forward to defend his family and country, and made many military achievements. He was a model of officials. He now named Lu Wenhua as a thousand households in Lizhou Weiwen Chong, and rewarded three jars of imperial wine, ten pieces of palace brocade, three hundred taels of silver, and Jiangyou bravely fought bravely and was loyal to him. He was particularly rewarded with one thousand taels of silver. The pension for casualties should be generous. I respect this."

"Thank you Lord Long's kindness." The eunuch said that Qin deliberately delayed his voice at this time. This was the end of reading the imperial edict. Lu Haoshan hurriedly thanked him.

Not bad. Although there is no hunting head without being stuck in mud, it is too much for a thousand households. Lu Haoshan originally "sitting for a hundred households to look at thousands of households". If he could be a commander of a guard, it would be more perfect. But it is not bad to think about it. Qianhu is a fifth-rank real-powered military officer. He has just changed from civil to military officer, and he also needs a process of adaptation. Besides, he has a relationship with Commander of the Du and became his confidant. He is not worried about not being promoted in the future.

What satisfies Lu Haoshan most is that Lizhou Guard is located in Guangyuan County, guarding the throat of entering Sichuan. The terrain is dangerous and the location is important. Guangyuan belongs to Baoning Prefecture and is adjacent to Long'an Prefecture. In other words, it is convenient to serve as the Wenchong Qianhu. Returning to Jiangyou is not as good as the two.

Then Han Wenden is okay. Although he is seeking fame and secretly collecting benefits, he still knows how to do things. This is a real villain, much better than those hypocrites who only take advantage of the benefits but don’t work.

"Lu Qianhu, hehe. Get the imperial edict." At this time, the eunuch rolled the imperial edict and walked to Lu Haoshan and said with a smile.

"Eunuch Xie" Lu Haoshan solemnly took the imperial edict with both hands.

The eunuch signaled everyone to get up, and Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "I wonder if this father-in-law respects his surname?"

There were many eunuchs in China's history. However, there were the most in the Ming Dynasty. There were not only many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, but also had real power and status. They were placed in various key departments by the emperor. The announcement of the imperial edict was also considered a good job, and Lu Haoshan did not dare to underestimate the person in front of him.

"The villain's surname is Huang, so the Lord Qianhu can call me Eunuch Huang." The eunuch said to Lu Haoshan with a gentle smile.

As soon as that said, Lu Haoshan immediately knew that the eunuch had a low status. In the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs with high status could even call themselves "subjects" in front of the emperor, officials were external ministers and they were internal ministers, and they called themselves "villains" or "small ones" were mostly of average status. The father-in-law in front of him called himself "small ones". Besides, if he had to read the imperial edict in a small county like Jiangyou, he could only be a small role.

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "It's time for you to be fine. Lu has prepared wine and food. Please enjoy it with all the guards."

"No need," Eunuch Huang waved his hand and said, "The villain still has official duties, and he will set off soon after the items are delivered."

Still have official duties?

Lu Haoshan was speechless, and he said that he was not in charge of the family and did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. After Chongzhen took office, facing the troubled Ming Dynasty finance, he could be said to have tried every means to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. However, he didn't know that just saves the money and forced out the biggest enemy in his life. Li Zicheng was an ordinary postman. Because the cancellation of the postman made him lose his job, he fled to the rebel army in anger, and finally forced Chongzhen to hang himself in Coal Mountain. Now this eunuch who announced the eunuch is not only proclaiming the eunuch, but also has other matters, which can be regarded as saving expenses.

It’s right to think about it. Not long after Wei Zhongxian fell, Chongzhen’s shadow on the eunuchs had not yet disappeared, so naturally they would not be at ease.

This is also good, so as to avoid the trouble of entertaining them. Lu Haoshan handed a bag of silver to Eunuch Huang and said, "My father-in-law, there is nothing good here. Please accept this local specialty with a smile."

As soon as Eunuch Huang received the bag, he felt his hand sinking. He immediately knew that it was a bag of silver, which was at least thirty taels. This was a lot, which was equivalent to the salary of the county magistrate for more than half a year, so he was very sincere.

"Mr. Qianhu is so polite, but the villain is disrespectful." Eunuch Huang smiled like a flower. As he spoke, the bag of silver had already been put into his waist.

"It's better to have a job."

Eunuch Huang kindly reminded: "Mr. Qianhu, now you have been promoted to Qianhu. You are in office and then sent to the Ministry of Personnel. According to the practice, you must take office within one month. Before leaving, you must clear the official seal and official business delivery."

Lu Haoshan said gratefully: "Teacher-in-law thanks for his advice."

The two chatted for a few more times. At this time, the things that the emperor rewarded had been delivered. Eunuch Huang and Lu Haoshan said goodbye, and then left with satisfaction.

As soon as Eunuch Huang left, the dull atmosphere suddenly became active. Although everyone was a little surprised, Lu Haoshan suddenly changed to a military position, he had to be promoted. He still had to be promoted several levels in a row. Congratulations to Lu Haoshan for a while:

Zhang Yunhui was the first to congratulate Lu Haoshan and said, "Congratulations to you, and wish you a bright future."

"It's a bit surprising that the adults have changed from literary to military. It's reasonable. I have long said that the adults are a talented general." Cao Hu also complimented on the side.

"Wrong" Zhou Dayuan said seriously: "The lord is both civil and military."

"Yes, yes, sir is both civil and military."

"Sir, you are happy and celebrating."

"Yes, I must be without getting drunk."

Everyone was happy for Lu Haoshan and complimented him. I don’t know who started it. Everyone shouted that Lu Haoshan would treat him and invite everyone to drink "Gaosheng wine", so that everyone would be happy.

Lu Haoshan raised his hand and asked everyone to stop, and said with a smile: "This is simple. I set up a banquet in the Welcoming Building. I wanted to invite the people in the palace, but I didn't expect that he was in a hurry to leave. If he didn't eat, the table could not be wasted. Let's do this, everyone present will count on one, go and have a good drink."

After a few words, everyone agreed. Lu Haoshan made an appointment with everyone to meet in Yingbin Tower for half an hour. Everyone knew that the new official wanted to clean up and share joy with his wife. They smiled and retreated. For them, seeing this sacred moment, this trip was worth it. Besides, Lu Haoshan said that those who did not come would not participate.

Fortunately, I have a more concise attitude, and I may have less chance of performing.

Zhao Yuqing did not leave. He was Lu Haoshan's father-in-law, so he naturally didn't need to avoid anything. He went back to the back yamen with Lu Haoshan. When he saw the servants holding the things given by the imperial gifts, he told them to be careful from time to time. That would be even more concerned than Lu Haoshan. It seemed that the servants were not holding silk and silver, but the precious porcelain was broken when they touched. Lu Haoshan just smiled and said nothing.

"I congratulate you on your promotion to Qianhuo." As soon as the yamen runner left, Zhao Min said to Lu Haoshan with a smile.

When the imperial edict was announced just now, Zhao Min and Xianglan hid behind the screen and eavesdropped. When they heard that Lu Haoshan was a thousand households and had been promoted several levels, they were so happy that they were almost laughing. Now that they were not my father, they all wanted to give their husband a passionate kiss.

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "I want to congratulate you for your husband, Min'er."

"What are you congratulating me?" Zhao Min asked curiously.

"Congratulations on your promotion to Mrs. Thousand Houses."

When Lu Haoshan teased him, Zhao Min turned red and said in a low voice: "Don't mess around, dad is here."

"But his heart is not here." Lu Haoshan pointed at Zhao Yuqing beside him and said, "Look at your father."

Zhao Min turned her head and saw that his father looked at the imperial edict and touched the palace satin. A man said to himself: "Ah, what a soft silk satin, this is worn in the palace, it is a tribute, it is made in fine form." "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

That thought was not about my daughter and son-in-law at all.

Lu Haoshan walked to Zhao Yuqing and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, if you like this palace satin and wine, just take it casually."

"Give it to me? No, no, no, this is the reward given to you by the emperor. You can't ask for it, you can't ask for it." Zhao Yuqing quickly shook his head and said.

"Since it is given to the son-in-law, it is not enough to give it to the son-in-law. It is not too much for the son-in-law to give it to his father-in-law," Lu Haoshan explained: "Just as long as you offer this imperial edict, you don't have to pay too much attention to these palace satin. My father-in-law will take half of it back."

Zhao Yuqing said hesitantly: "This is really okay?"

"No problem at all," Lu Haoshan said with a positive look.

"Then I just need two palace satin and a jar of wine, but it's not good to take too much." Zhao Yuqing said happily.

Zhao Yuqing was already imagining that his friends knew that the clothes he wore were flowing out of the palace, just like the clothes worn by many noble people, he could drink the imperial wine in the palace. I wonder how much envious and jealous they were. When I think of those envious gazes, I felt overjoyed.

Lu Haoshan didn't insist, nodded and said, "Okay, my father-in-law should pick two of them that he likes."
