Chapter 674 A bowl of water must be leveled
Doctor Qi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Old Divine Doctor Qi glanced at Young Divine Doctor Qi with disdain: "Since you don't want to join the Imperial Hospital, then find a wife and start a family soon. I don't expect you to bring honor to the family, but at least you can add a child to the family?"
Doctor Qi is now over thirty years old. In the entire Dashun Dynasty, there are probably not many men of Doctor Qi's age who are still unmarried.
Everyone in the Qi family, from the age of eighty-eight to the age of five, basically said the first thing when they saw the young doctor Qi, was to urge him to get married.
This is also one of the reasons why the young doctor Qi has been willing to follow the old doctor Qi around the country without any complaints since he was introduced to Fu Zhiyi and his wife.
I’m scared of being urged to get married!
Young Divine Doctor Qi looked at Old Divine Doctor Qi aggrievedly: "Uncle, you have changed. You never urged me to get married before."
The old doctor Qi spat at him and said, "You are old and have an unshaven beard, why are you pretending to be pitiful?"
It made his palms itch and he wanted to hit someone.
"There are two options. Either you return to the Qi family with me, then work hard to get into the Imperial Hospital and start as a physician at the lowest level. Or you can honestly ask Princess Le'an to find you a wife from a good family. It's your choice."
Doctor Qi knew his own situation and knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to enter the Imperial Hospital.
With my personality, I won't survive more than three months in the palace.
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "After I follow you back to Gan Ning, I will go and ask for help from Princess Le'an."
Only then did the old doctor Qi nod in satisfaction and leave.
In the following days, Fu Zhiyi basically stayed at home to recuperate, using the excuse of poor health to avoid seeing any visitors.
In addition to discussing how to accept the Western Rong, the most important thing in the court was to reward people according to their merits.
According to the new emperor, he wanted to directly confer the title of king of a different surname on Fu Zhiyi.
He has made such a great contribution and he is my half-brother, so what's wrong with making him a king?
It’s not like I can’t afford it.
But the court officials refused to do so.
Since the beginning of this dynasty, there has never been a king with a different surname.
Did those who followed Taizu to conquer the world have great contributions? Even so, they were only granted the title of Duke.
The later Gaozu and Shizu were even more stingy than each other.
It is extremely rare to be able to be conferred the title of marquis or earl by them.
The new emperor is too lax.
Fu Zhiyi was made a prince at the age of thirty. Doesn't this make it seem like these old guys are too incompetent?
After struggling all my life, I am still not as good as a young person.
No, absolutely not!
The ministers, their eyes almost red with jealousy, firmly disagreed.
For this reason, many imperial censors submitted memorials, showing an attitude of making death-defying protests.
The new emperor was so angry. My family is so big and powerful that we can afford it. Why are you trying to stop me?
Don’t you know that my brother would risk his life for me?
Therefore, he held his breath and argued with the ministers.
It was Fu Zhiyi who went to the palace in person and persuaded the new emperor. After all, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and his foundation was still unstable. There was no need to fall out with the ministers over this matter.
It didn't matter whether he received a reward or not. Everything had to be based on the Dashun Dynasty and the new emperor.
The new emperor was so moved that his eyes turned red as he held Fu Zhiyi's hand.
He almost swore that he would never let Fu Zhiyi down.
With Fu Zhiyi giving him a way out, the new emperor knew that he couldn't really fall out with these old ministers, so he took a step back.
Fu Zhiyi was granted the title of Duke of Dingguo, a title that was hereditary.
Of course, he also promised Fu Zhiyi privately that since he could not be crowned king, he could not treat his brothers unfairly.
One duke is definitely not enough, so adding a marquis would be enough.
Knowing that Fu Zhiyi has two sons, the eldest son will definitely inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future. Wouldn't the twin brothers have nothing?
They are all his brother's sons, so he should treat them equally.
With a wave of his hand, he reserved the title of Marquis Dingyuan for Tangyuan, and when Tangyuan came of age, he would officially issue an imperial decree.
After thinking about it, he still felt it was not enough, so he searched through the population of Fu Zhiyi's family and found out that Lan had not yet received an imperial edict.
How can this be!
Lan was immediately given the title of a fourth-rank lady.
Fu Zhiyi's own mother was given an imperial decree, and it was not a good thing for the third master to be left alone as a seventh-rank official under the name of the Maritime Customs.
By the way, the third master was also given a nominal position of Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Rites, which was the fifth rank.
Fu Zhiyi naturally knelt down to thank the emperor for his great grace.
Not to mention, it seems that Fu Zhiyi suffered a loss and could not become the first king of a different surname in the history of the Dashun Dynasty.
But his son made a fortune.
You know, even if you are granted the title of a king of a different surname, the title will end after three or five generations at most.
But there is a hereditary duke and a marquis who has been in power for at least five generations.
Doubao and Tangyuan spent the rest of their lives enjoying themselves by relying on their father's merits.
The benefits inside are much better than the superficial prince.
You know, if you become a king of a different surname, you will be the target of public criticism and a glaring target.
Thanks to the courtiers who opposed it.
Fu Zhiyi muttered to himself.
The court officials, who were unaware of the new emperor's private promises, were unable to say anything when they saw that the emperor had taken a step back.
There were also those officials who failed to see the situation clearly and felt that they should not be given the title of Duke. They continued to make trouble and were directly stripped of their official hats.
On the way home, he was put into a sack by military generals who shared the same hatred for the enemy.
From then on, no one dared to oppose it.
Of course, although Fu Zhiyi was conferred the title of Duke Dingguo, he still had to serve as the Governor of Ganning Road.
After all, he is most familiar with Xirong.
The subsequent series of arrangements for accepting and naturalizing the Xirong still require Fu Zhiyi's participation.
Therefore, Fu Zhiyi received the reward and returned to Gan Ning. According to the new emperor's promise to him, he would have to wait until the Western Rong were completely annexed by the Dashun regime and the situation was stable for two or three years before he could transfer Fu Zhiyi to the capital.
As for the Duke's Mansion and Tangyuan's Marquis' Mansion, the new emperor has already taken a fancy to the locations.
Right next to the Princess's Mansion, there are two large houses. During the past two or three years, the new emperor found a way to transfer the original owners to other places to vacate these two large houses.
When Fu Zhiyi and the others returned from Gan Ning, a Duke's Mansion and a Marquis' Mansion had been renovated and were waiting for them to move in.
As for Lan and the third master, they had wanted to come to Gan Ning since they had finished their mourning period, but were delayed because of the emperor's death. Now that they heard that Fu Zhiyi was going back to Gan Ning, they naturally packed their bags and followed him.
Lu Zhenzhen didn't expect that there would be so many troubles after Fu Zhiyi returned to the capital.
Although I will have to stay in Gan Ning for a few more years, it is good to be able to reunite with my family and stay away from the disputes in the capital.
But speaking of the late emperor, he actually remembered to leave something for Lu Zhenzhen and the three children before he died, which made Lu Zhenzhen feel very emotional.
Replace sincerity with sincerity.
I didn't expect that a political figure like the old emperor would have such a tender moment before his death.
Especially, he actually remembered the pony who promised to give him oranges.
This made Lu Zhenzhen feel extremely complicated.
When Fu Zhiyi saw that Lu Zhenzhen was in a low mood, he knew that she was feeling sad about the late emperor.
Hugging Lu Zhenzhen, he said, "If you really care about me, we can copy the Rebirth Mantra, the Heart Sutra, etc. every day and offer them to the late emperor. That would be our contribution."
Lu Zhenzhen nodded, turned over and hugged Fu Zhiyi: "I just think that life is unpredictable, we all need to be well."
