Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

"Hahaha! Why is my dear brother here?"

When Emperor Tianqi saw the arrival of his brother, he quickly walked down the throne platform and took Lin Pingzhi's hand intimately to come to King Xin.

"My dear brother, look!"

"This is the husband I personally selected for my niece. Are you satisfied with it?"

The emperor had a smile on his face when he spoke, and in his tone, he even selectively forgot that it was Lin Pingzhi who took the initiative to ask for his eldest daughter.

Emperor Apocalypse, who was aloof and satisfied with the stable government created by his eunuch ministers during the years in power, now spends most of his time indulging in his own small world of "Yanshi carpentry".

But because he and King Xin had the experience of growing up together as playmates in childhood, Emperor Tianqi actually always valued the brotherhood with Zhu Youjian.

"My brother, my brother..."

King Xin Zhu Youjian, who originally wanted to say something against, had just spoken a few words when he happened to see Emperor Tianqi beside him, holding the imperial edict with the seal in both hands, and Wei Zhongxian who was walking towards him.

With a warning look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this time I will make an exception and make your daughter a princess."

"This is a huge reward for Prince Consort Lin!"

Wei Zhongxian came straight to the side of King Xin Zhu Youjian and spread out the newly written imperial edict for him to check without hesitation. The emperor was watching with a smile, showing no intention to stop this transgressive behavior.

Zhu Youjian glanced at the imperial edict and suddenly sighed in his heart.

Then, he had to give up his prepared refusal, forced a smile on his face, and continued to speak to Emperor Tianqi.

"My brother is very satisfied with the arrangements made by the emperor!"

Over the years, King Xin Zhu Youjian, as the only royal prince who stayed in the capital when Emperor Tianqi had no children, deliberately kept a low profile and had no involvement with court officials. Therefore, Emperor Tianqi actually did not know that he was

The ambitions and ideals in the hearts of brothers.

In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, he was extremely generous this time. He made his niece a princess and rewarded Lin Pingzhi so much. This not only saved the face of Lin Pingzhi, a rare champion prince in history, but also expressed his love

My show of goodwill to my brother Xin Wang can be said to be perfect to the extreme.

Therefore, Emperor Tianqi did not notice King Xin's helplessness when he answered with satisfaction. He thought he had done enough.

After continuing to talk to King Xin and making some arrangements for the wedding, Emperor Tianqi happily returned to the harem and continued his carpentry work after being reminded by Wei Zhongxian.

The three royal family elders followed Emperor Tianqi closely and also walked out of the hall. However, when leaving, the one walking at the back gave Lin Pingzhi a Kuimu tablet with silver thread stripes.

"For Consort Lin to have such a cultivation level, his talent is truly extraordinary."

"According to the rules, this thing should have been given to you along with the imperial decree of reward at your wedding."

"It's just that we have a good impression of you, and now we don't care about these false courtesy."

"I'll give it to you in advance!"

After the clan elder finished speaking, he glanced at Xinwang Zhu Youjian who was next to Lin Pingzhi, motioning for him to explain to his son-in-law, and then quickly left the hall with the others.

After the emperor and the clan elders had completely left, King Xin Zhu Youjian and Lin Pingzhi looked at each other.

After they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes, they suddenly felt a little sympathy for each other in their hearts.

Zhu Youjian, who secretly got close to several Donglin elders in the capital, admired Lin Pingzhi, a Donglin scholar with "red roots and upright seedlings", so now that the matter has come to an end, the emperor's imperial edict has been written.

Well, he could only accept the result that Lin Pingzhi became his daughter's husband.

"Put it away!"

"This is the reading token for the secret volume of "Yongle Dadian"."

Putting aside everything else, looking back at Lin Pingzhi, his handsome and literary son-in-law, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian felt extremely satisfied in his heart. He walked out of the hall with Lin Pingzhi, walking towards Lin Pingzhi.

Pingzhi said.

"There is a replica of the "Yongle Dadian" in Peking University, but the original volume is in Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing. According to His Majesty's decree, you will have plenty of time to check it out in the future."

"Pingzhi understands, thank you, father-in-law, for clearing up the confusion!"

After Lin Pingzhi saluted, he took the opportunity to ask Xiang Xin Wang Zhu Youjian.

"However, my son-in-law had the opportunity to check the original document about Nanjing that my father-in-law said about Nanjing, but my emperor arranged for my son-in-law to take up a post in Nanjing?"

Note here that in this time and space with a background of extraordinary power, probably because of the historical influence of "concentrating personal power on oneself", well-known scholars or high-ranking dignitaries like Lin Pingzhi are qualified to "propose marriage" to the Ming royal family

"Princess's."

And if you are not a person of Lin Pingzhi's status, for example, most of the royal consorts of the Ming Dynasty before Lin Pingzhi, they are not qualified to use the word "seeking marriage" to describe them in the table. Except for the early establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Tai

Except for the few princes-in-law with a foreign surname who were adopted sons of Taizu during the Ancestor period, most of the princes-in-law in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were just the children of merchants selected by the eunuchs from among the people.

This kind of people whose previous status was just the "consort" of ordinary people had no qualifications to go to the emperor to "please marry" the princess. They were more like the folk's son-in-law, who just entered the clan's family.

In this case, the so-called "consort" actually has a low status. When he marries the princess, he even has to kneel down and worship the princess with his parents. When meeting relatives and friends and calling him everyday, he is even less likely to be like Lin Pingzhi now.

Similarly, the princess's father, King Xin, is directly called father-in-law and calls himself son-in-law; they can only respectfully call them prince and call themselves villains.

"Pingzhi, you are indeed as smart as Yu Ning said."

Upon hearing Lin Pingzhi's question, Xinwang Zhu Youjian answered slowly with a hint of shame in his eyes.

"You guessed it right. Before marriage, according to the custom, you will be appointed as a Hanlin official of the sixth rank."

"But after your wedding to Yu Ning, the Imperial Brotherhood conferred the title of Prince Consort Captain, and promoted you to the rank of commander of the Xiaoling Guards and the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites."

The "Captain Consort" in King Xin's words is a title that all the consorts of the current dynasty will obtain. It is a noble title that is above the earl and below the marquis. This thing is available to all consorts, and it is equivalent to a salary for white-collar workers.

But the "commander" and the "right minister of the Ministry of Rites" are terrible!

One is a military officer and the other is a civil servant, and their grades are still the third grade. This is no longer as simple as upgrading three levels in a row. Going from the sixth grade to the third grade is equivalent to being promoted eight full grades in a row!

Li Biao, Dong Lin's only remaining elder in Peking, was only on the same level as Lin Pingzhi after his marriage in terms of official rank.

Moreover, in the current social environment where civilian positions are noble and military positions are low, perhaps most people in the outside world will not pay attention to the military position of "Commander of Xiaoling Guards" at all, but only take the civilian position of "Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing" to look at it

, the emperor undoubtedly gave Lin Pingzhi a truly generous gift.

Even if it is only a position in the Sixth Department of Nanjing, even if the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites has no actual power, in the eyes of the high-ranking officials and powerful people in the Beijing Normal University, it is just a pension position.

However, no matter whether it is official treatment or official status, there is essentially no difference between the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing and the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Beijing Normal University.

In his eyes, he can be regarded as a real and unattainable high-ranking civil servant!

To put it bluntly, there are so many number one scholars in the past dynasties, not to mention those who have reached the third rank, even those who have not even reached the fourth rank official position until their death, there are a lot of them!

It can be seen that no matter what the purpose of Emperor Apocalypse and the Eunuch Party were, they did use practical actions to give Lin Pingzhi, one of the highest achievements of scholars, the "number one scholar", the generous treatment he deserved.

Too bad for him.

After hearing King Xin's words, Lin Pingzhi's steps stopped and his expression changed slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.

Lin Pingzhi's act of regaining his composure at this moment made Zhu Youjian, who was secretly paying attention to Lin Pingzhi's expression, nodded in his mind. He felt that Lin Pingzhi really had a calm temperament.

Faced with the bad news that he was admitted to a "nursing home" in Nanjing, Lin Pingzhi recovered his excitement so quickly. This is especially valuable for a young man who has just grown up!

Alas, if this son was not destined to join the clan, there is no telling what achievements he would have had in the future.

Our great Ming Dynasty has sadly lost another talented person!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian felt a little more ashamed inside, and he looked at Lin Pingzhi, his son-in-law, with more intimacy in his eyes.

After all, the Imperial City is the core location of the eunuch party. Next, the conversation between the father-in-law and his son-in-law turned to some interesting things in Beiping City.

Because of Lin Pingzhi's status as the "number one scholar" and Donglin's scholar, King Xin did not show any airs of being a prince when talking to him. In short, the two of them got along harmoniously along the way and walked outside the imperial city together until they returned to their respective homes.

······

He watched Prince Xin's carriage drive slowly away in front of him.

The dim sunlight in the afternoon shone all over the imperial road of the capital.

Lin Pingzhi, who walked into his carriage, didn't have to suppress his emotions until now, and the corners of his mouth curved into a nice curve.

Perhaps except for Lin Ping, who had cheated on later historical data, no one in the capital could have imagined how powerful the Xiaoling Guardhouse, which had been ignored by everyone, would explode in the future.

This was the reason why Lin Pingzhi's expression suddenly changed when he heard that his future position was to be the commander of the Xiaoling Guard!

If Lin Pingzhi had not come and appeared, in the long river of history flowing normally, if it had not been for the remnants of the Xiaoling Guards at that time, with fewer enemies and more enemies, desperately holding back the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Daqing, then the small imperial court of Nanming in history would have been

It’s impossible to appear!

Not to mention far away.

The clatter of horse hoofs flowed past his ears. Lin Pingzhi in the carriage recalled the historical records that the system had transmitted to his mind. His heart was filled with ups and downs, and he sighed secretly.

"It's really time, fate, and luck!"

"That's Xiaoling Guard!"
