Generally, the titles of the family members of officials follow their husbands.

Those with five ranks and above are called imperial seals, and those with five ranks and below are called imperial seals.

When Xue Lince talks about imperial conferment here, it actually means he is somewhat self-effacing. If the emperor granted Tang Luoyu a sixth-grade Anren title, it would be half a rank lower than Xue Lince's.

This time he has made a great contribution. After all, according to what Xue Lince said, this cement can not only be used to build water conservancy projects, but it can also be used to build city walls.

Most of today's city walls are made of masonry. If you wear special shoes and use a dagger to climb up the gap in the middle, it is not impossible.

If it is replaced with cement, this risk will be greatly reduced.

Even if the whole thing is not replaced, just applying a layer of cement on the outside can still play a certain role.

The little emperor looked incomprehensible, and the ministers below him didn't say anything.

Time seemed to be stretched out in the silence.

After a long time, the little emperor finally said: "As per Xue Qing's request, but since it is a favor, let's use the imperial title to make your wife the fifth rank of Yiren."

Xue Lince was also stunned. He thought he would only seal a sixth-grade Anren.

I didn't expect the emperor to be so generous. This is an exceptional reward.

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Thank you, Lord for your kindness." Xue Lince was filled with gratitude and hurriedly saluted the little emperor.

The little emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Xue Qing, you don't have to be polite. Now that your wife is bankrupt and your rank is high, you have to work hard."

The ministers couldn't believe their ears.

It had only been a few months since Xue Lince had passed the Jinshi exam, and he had already been promoted to the fifth rank.

The emperor also made an exception and granted his wife a fifth-grade imperial edict. Doesn't this clearly mean that he will definitely rise to prominence in the future and be granted a fifth-grade imperial edict?

At this age, he has reached the fifth rank, which means he can reach the position of minister even if he has the qualifications.

The only person who has been promoted so quickly over the years is that boy from the Jing family.

But my mother is the princess’s wife, and she was raised in the palace!

In addition, Jingshan himself also strives for success.

He is even more glorious than the less favored prince. Where did this boy named Xue emerge from the cracks in the rocks? Why did he get promoted so quickly?

It has to be said that the emperor's behavior made everyone feel a little bitter. Even if his career was smooth, seeing this attitude of others, he would inevitably have some thoughts that he shouldn't have in his heart.

Even though the emperor had spoken, they couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, I think," the regent winked at the person on the side, and then the person stood up, "it's inappropriate."

"It's Qing Song, why do you feel something is wrong?" The little emperor raised his eyebrows, and did not look directly at the official named Song, but at the regent who was standing in the front.

"Then Mrs. Tang is just a merchant's daughter. If it is just because of her husband, she is not worthy of being named a sixth-grade An according to the old practice. She should be demoted to another level." The surname Song is neither humble nor overbearing, which makes his words seem more serious.

Now that he is convincing, he said, "Now that the imperial conferment has to be granted directly, I am worried that the Tang family may not be able to bear such a great blessing."

"The daughter of a merchant is not worthy of a royal title, right?" the little emperor sneered, "Then where do you place Queen Renxiao and Wenkang?"

This can be considered as poking a hornet's nest.

Queen Renxiao and Wenkang were the direct wives of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, who loved guns and sticks. Emperor Taizong followed Emperor Gaozu in the southern and northern wars, so he left her at home to guard the city, so that she could take care of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, raise her younger siblings and children, and in between

Balance the forces in the city.

When Taizu was in power, he often praised his daughter-in-law, saying that if she were a man, she would definitely be able to achieve a great career.

Instead of being overjoyed, the queen retorted that even though she was a daughter, she could still achieve a great career.

After hearing this, Taizu bluntly said that marrying her as his daughter-in-law was a royal blessing.

And this Queen Renxiao Wenkang was born as a merchant.

The emperor had already moved out the giant Buddha, so the man named Song naturally did not dare to continue talking.

"Your Majesty, what kind of status is the Tang family? How can it be compared with Queen Renxiao Wenkang?" Another tough guy who was not afraid of death continued to come forward, "Your Majesty, please think again."

"Didn't I think about it long enough just now?" The little emperor looked at the leader with leisurely eyes, "Wang Qing still wants to think about it for me."

Who dares to answer this?

The ministers were as silent as cicadas, and the little emperor leaned back on his throne.

Xue Lince took a sneak peek and felt that the little emperor's lazy look seemed to be saying, "There is no one who can fight."

At this moment, the regent spoke: "Your Majesty, I feel that this is inappropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?" The little emperor straightened up and said with a smile, "Uncle."

Hearing the little emperor shouting like this, the regent was also stunned.

In the court, the little emperor never called him that.

"Tang's family has neither talent nor virtue. In fact, the virtue is not worthy of the position." The regent was a little flustered for a moment and forgot what he had just thought about. "Your Majesty, think again."

"I heard that Tang has a reputation as a virtuous person in the county. The local magistrate even wrote a plaque for her as a righteous merchant." The little emperor looked at the regent and said, "She pities the poor and helps the poor. Now it is not because of her

This is an exceptional award."

The little emperor did not continue, but everyone understood the meaning.

When you become an emperor, you just want to break the rules, so why are there so many people who have nothing to do and are nagging behind you!

For a moment, you could almost hear a pin drop in the hall.

Xue Lince never expected that his stone would stir up a thousand waves, and he swallowed nervously.

Fortunately, the little emperor didn't trick him, he only stared at him and started shouting after a short time.

"You will be rewarded for your merits, Xue Qing, please go down first." After saying this, Xue Lince hurriedly thanked him and left the hall.

Until he went home from the office, Xue Lince was still feeling uneasy.

I could only comfort myself that if something happened, Jingshan would be there to block it. I think part of the reason why the regent targeted me was because of his cousin.

"You're back?" Tang Luoyu was not busy today. When he saw him coming back, he went up to greet him, "What's wrong? Seeing that you are so flustered, His Majesty doesn't like cement?"

Your Majesty likes it so much...

Xue Lince picked up the teapot on one side, without pouring any water, and poured two mouthfuls into his mouth before saying: "No, His Majesty said it was very good."

"Then what's wrong with you?" Tang Luoyu picked up the teapot and shook it, and found that Xue Lince had drank all the water in it. Baoqin on the side saw it and hurriedly took it out to refill the water.

Xue Lince then told her everything that happened in the court today.

"My dear, how dare you?" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince angrily, "You, you!"

"It's okay. In short, the goal was achieved," Xue Lince took Tang Luoyu in his arms and kissed her on the face, "How is it? Are you happy with the life your husband has earned for you?"

Bao Qin is holding a teapot outside, wondering if he should go in...
