Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 456: The merit does not depend on the morning or evening, and the crime does not depend on the presence or absence of the crime.

This time Xue Mu was no longer willing to let anyone give him a random title, and he was eager to find a suitable, powerful and domineering one for himself.

It turned out to be very difficult to find.

The "rites" of this world are relatively crude. The royal family was originally from a martial arts family, and the officials were also from martial arts families. All kinds of etiquette evolved from the etiquette of the Jianghu to the court, and gradually formed their own rules over the years. As for the title, no one paid much attention to the wording. They had to wait for Xue Mu to set the precedent. No one in the court cared about it. So far, there is no specific regulation to define this kind of title.

The more common ones are based on the fiefdom. The person who is granted a certain food town is a certain nobility. No matter how ugly the place name is, you have to recognize it. The second is the special martial arts sect title, which is given directly by the name of the sect without any sincerity. This is a title passed down from generation to generation. Pan Kouzhi was originally called the Marquis of Xinyi, but now Mu Jianli should be called the Marquis of Wenjian. They themselves do not care about these titles at all, and there is no need for the emperor to send representatives to confer them.

Then the emperor is happy. Xuazhe was originally named Weisuhou. Ji Qingyuan believed that this represented Xuazhe's seriousness and seriousness, which sounded nice. However, this title was given for evaluation of people, which was indeed a typical manifestation of the rough etiquette system. It was not so much a title. A number, rather a nickname. Xue Mu's Phoenix Man also belongs to this category, and is similar to Wei Xiaobao's Tong Chi Hou.

The titles of the princes are also extremely confusing. Logically speaking, Yong, Tang, and Qi are place names, and King Yi belongs to Haocai. They just mix them up, and the government and the public are very used to it.

So normally, Xue Mu can just give him the name Xingyue at this time, but no matter how he looks at this "Xingyue Man" or promotes him to become "Xingyuezi", it is hard to hear it. Even if "Xingyue Marquis" "It didn't go well. Xue Mu directly rejected Liu Wanxi's proposal with the excuse of "I'm not the leader of the Xingyue Sect."

"At most, I will give you a son. It's up to you to decide what you want to call me. Otherwise, there is a Dengtu County over there in Yizhou. How about I grant this title to you..." Liu Wanxi spent the whole night looking for the gift book. Angrily, he stopped looking and huddled in Xue Mu's arms, acting coquettishly: "I think it's good to be a disciple..."

Ye Guying clapped her hands at the side and said, "Young disciple! This title is very good!"

Xue Mu glared at her fiercely, pulled Liu Wanxi down in his arms, and implemented the silence strategy: "Okay, you don't need to say any more..."

Liu Wanxi was brutally silenced, and Ye Guying shuddered. She always felt that Xue Mu was trying to scare the monkeys... She apologized and said with a smile: "You guys talk slowly, I'll go find Qingwu..."

The assassin, who was afraid of being silenced, could no longer heed the order to "protect" and disappeared in a flash. At this time, Xue Mu also hated his lack of talent and knowledge, and he couldn't think of a good one... It seems that there are many choices, but it is too difficult to match him!

No matter what, there are still a few days left, so I don’t want to think about it tonight.

Xue Mu leaned comfortably on the edge of the bed, his fingers immersed in Liu Wanxi's hair, looking at her soft and "silent" look, and asked in a low voice: "Wanxi, do you still want to borrow a seed?"

Liu Wanxi served silently for a while, then raised her head and said, "If it's for the sect's plan, then I'm willing to do it. If it's just for myself, I don't think about it anymore."

"Why?"

"At that time, I thought I could ask for someone to rely on, but now that I know Xiaochan is here, I feel guilty for Xiaochan. I don't know how to make up for my mother's responsibilities, so how can I have the heart to ask for another one?"

Xue Mu nodded silently and said with a smile, "Forget it."

Liu Wanxi added: "We are not experts in your title. We can let the Ministry of Etiquette discuss it tomorrow. They know better. At the same time, giving you a title is also a review by the political hall. You are a meritorious person. This This matter is open and aboveboard, there is no need for us to figure it out in secret."

"Didn't King Yi still accuse me of stirring up trouble? Do you want the court to arrest me?"

"I have burned all the papers on impeachment. There is no impeachment. All that is left is deliberation."

Xue Mu couldn't help laughing: "What merit do I have?"

Liu Wanxi said seriously: "You have many, many gongs. Do you really not know it?"

"Huh? I don't know."

"Providing suggestions for rookie charts has strengthened the control of the Six Sects. Now that the rookie charts have been issued to the fourth issue, you don't seem to pay much attention? The major sects used to be domineering, but now they are increasingly constrained by the Six Sects and are unwilling to This is an important reason why we face each other head-on." Liu Wanxi smiled and said, "And you went to Luzhou as the head catcher of the Six Gates to solve the battle between good and evil, save countless warriors, break the plague, and solve the conspiracy. These are all Great merit, you didn’t even ask the court for a hair. Although you want to do these things yourself, merit is merit."

Xue Mu smiled and said: "What happens so early? What about going against the imperial court?"

"In court affairs, the success does not depend on whether it is sooner or later. It only depends on whether there is someone to raise it for you. In the same way, the crime does not depend on whether there is someone to pursue it."

Xue Mu was startled for a moment and thought about it endlessly: "These words are very interesting. Wanxi, you are a bit of an expert."

"After studying for so long, you should have made some progress." Liu Wanxi said with a smile: "Xia Houdi has told you many times before in front of Ji Qingyuan, but Ji Qingyuan just ignored it. Now that Ji Qingyuan is lying down, the political affairs hall will reconsider it. , with the support of Xia Houdi, the secret help of Xiao Lin, and the contribution of this suggestion to the Shenji Sect... If you don't want promotion, money, or land, if you turn them all into virtual nobility, it is very likely that you will be more than just a viscount. .”

Xue Mu's heart moved: "Can I be made a marquis?"

"The title of Marquis may be too much, but in the current situation, you may not be able to succeed with just a little push. After all, it's easier to win as long as you have an empty head." Liu Wanxi said with a smile: "But you really don't want anything else, you just want a person. A false head?"

"I, Xue Mu, can make other things myself, but I can't earn my position in the government and the opposition." Xue Mu said with a smile: "I have used the name of the Lord of the Court several times to make others angry and they don't know how to vent their anger. I'm addicted to this feeling. ."

Liu Wanxi's eyes were like autumn water, and she said in a charming voice: "The Lord has blocked the noble concubine so much that she can't even say anything."

Xue Mu was so aroused that he couldn't stop talking, so he continued to stop her: "Fairy, watch the stick!"

…

Early the next morning, Xue Mu continued to teach the female apprentice.

"Master, Master, I heard what Gu Ying said, and after searching all night, I found a good title for you!"

"What title?"

"Schisandra!"

"Thank you very much. To express your gratitude, please copy the article Grape Rack ten times."

"..."

"What, you don't accept it? Then let's practice it ourselves ten times?"

"I'll copy it! Can't I just copy it..."

The female apprentice copied the book pitifully, and Xue Mu began to organize the lesson plans. Teasing was teasing, he really wanted to teach Xiao Qingwu the theory of novels he knew. At least he had to teach the basic theory this time when he entered the palace. There would be opportunities for more in-depth things in the future.

The concept of entering the palace this time was different from the last time. Before, it was for planning and secret discussion with Liu Wanxi and Eunuch Li, but this time it was purely to "escape from the world" and wait for a certain poisonous snake to make a move. Zhuo Qingqing stayed outside to take charge of the work, and Ye Guying used the ability of invisibility to achieve internal and external communication. Weiye waited in the palace with him, and the group of people silently observed, waiting for the situation to change.

The direction of the right path cannot yet be observed, but this morning the Political Affairs Hall was having a lively discussion about his merits and demerits.

The Yi Wang Party will not agree to give Xue Mu a knighthood. It would be nice if he is not captured and brought to justice, okay? But this time, the powerful Uiwang Party found themselves weak, pitiful and helpless.

"Choke!" Xiahoudi drew his sword and chopped it on the table. Then he stepped on the edge of the sword and said with stern eyes: "Who dares to say that my merits in the six doors are not merits? Stand up and let me see you." What’s the point!”

Several ministers looked like Chi Xiang. Doesn't it mean that this lunatic is not crazy now? We are all decent people, and if you have something to say, let's talk it over. What kind of trouble is it to act like a court and draw a sword without even saying a few words?
