The negotiations between the Eight Wise Kings and Xixia were completed.
General Hao Lian Tieshu, the Great General of the East, finally returned to his dear motherland.
The Song Dynasty obtained five thousand good horses and one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Xixia also invested heavily.
So Zhou Hao's contribution can also be announced to the public.
It was a great contribution to capturing the enemy general alive.
So his military official became an observer of the fourth rank (the fifth rank after the reform of the Shenzong), and of course he was still in charge of the Imperial City Department.
He was promoted to Marquis and was named Shenwu.
In other words, Zhou Hao will become the Marquis of Shenwu in the future, and the Marquis who have the title will be majestic.
Zhou Hao felt that he didn't want to change his name even if he gave him a Duke.
He also rewarded 5,000 taels of gold and 700 households.
So Zhou Hao's official position in the Song Dynasty became
Military Officer: Observation Envoy (Fourth Century)
Luzhou Governor (Fifth rank), Wusan Official: Wude Zuoqiwei (Fifth rank)
Sent: The Imperial City Commander.
Xun: Shangqiuwei (from the fourth rank)
The title: Shenwu Hou (from the third rank), with a fief of 2,400 households, and a 1,000 households.
......
Zhou Hao and Zhao Paner were standing at the gate of Xianren Lane.
Several paper children are replacing the plaque at the door.
The new plaque contains four large characters "Shenwu Hou Mansion" with iron painted silver hooks, written by Zhou Hao himself.
Du Changfeng raised his head and sighed: "Shenwu Hou's calligraphy has reached its peak!"
Sanniang suddenly said happily: "By the way, Guanren Gu has become a marquis now. Will Paner's wife (the fourth-rank imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty, and has not yet been restructured in the early Song Dynasty) be promoted to the county lady?"
Du Changfeng shook his head and said, "That's what the previous dynasty said. Recently, the Ministry of Rites issued a document. Now the title of the third-rank imperial edict is Shuren. Moreover, the title of Mrs. Zhao needs to be granted by the official family, and it is not independently promoted with the official title of Shenwu Hou."
Sanniang said with some regret: "Oh, so that's how it is."
Zhou Hao looked at Zhao Paner and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If Paner likes it, I will ask for a title again when I am rewarded by the government next time."
Zhao Paner smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but Sanniang can't wait to be the wife of Jinshi?"
Sanniang was stunned and subconsciously looked at Du Changfeng.
Du Changfeng was scratching his head and smiling silly.
Sun Sanniang's face turned red suddenly, and she reached out and started to grab Zhao Paner.
Zhao Paner subconsciously flashed and rushed out three meters away.
Although she does not know any magic or martial arts now, she has a trace of true energy to protect her body.
When she really fights, she is much more powerful than Sun Sanniang, who is born with brute force.
"Haha!" Zhao Pan'er smirked and rushed into the Shenwu Hou Mansion.
Sun Sanniang was chasing her in anger.
Song Yinzhang and the others also chased after him with a smile.
Only Zhou Hao, Chen Lian and Du Changfeng were left outside.
Zhou Hao looked at Du Changfeng and smiled and said, "Brother Du is going to work harder. It seems that Sanniang is also interested in you."
Du Changfeng sighed: "I mentioned it to Sanniang, but she said she wanted to think about it."
Zhou Hao: "Brother Du is still willing to be an official? Your eyesight is much better now, so I can recommend one or two to the official family."
Du Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he bowed solemnly and excitedly: "Thank you so much for the Marquis."
Even if his new first-class Jinshi is the turn of an official, he will be at least 8 or 9 ranks.
But with Zhou Hao's recommendation, he is at least a seventh-rank official.
"Is Brother Du willing to be released as an official, or stay in the capital?"
Du Changfeng scratched his head and said with a sneer: "This... I have to discuss it with Sanniang!"
Chen Lian smiled and said, "Sister Pan'er must have stayed in Bianjing, and Sister Sanniang must be willing to get closer to Sister Pan'er. I think Mr. Du would be better off staying in the capital."
Du Changfeng just smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Hao glared at Chen Lian and said, "Did Commander Chen be too imprisoned?"
Chen Lian laughed and said, "The officials dare not!"
He knew that Zhou Hao was just kidding.
Now Chen Lian is recommended by Zhou Hao to become one of the six commanders of the Imperial City Department, and his subordinates manage more than a thousand guards.
You should know that he is only nineteen years old this year, so he has a bright future.
Kong Wu was also promoted and is now the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department.
Zhou Hao is now the Imperial City Commander and the Commander of the Investigation Department, and the Ice Well Affairs Office is also under his control, but the Ice Well Affairs Office's Commander is a eunuch.
-------------------------------------
Qing Liu lost Qi Mu and there was nothing he could fight again.
It is really ironic that Master Pang took action to close the edge of Qingliu.
The arrogant scholars and officials also began to follow powerful officials like Taishi Pang.
However, only in this way can they deal with Xiao Qinyan's purge.
Xiao Qinyan is not a good person, and taking down Qi Mu is just the beginning.
The two gangs fought in the court.
The Eight Virtue Kings were also angry at Zhao Heng for allowing Liu Wan to be tyrannical, and asked to send an envoy to Yutian and Gaochang Uighurs.
The withdrawal of the Eight Wise Kings made the court even more turbulent, and of course the happiest one was Master Pang.
Liu Wan still controls the government affairs, and Zhao Heng is getting better and better, but he doesn't like to deal with political affairs.
Every day, he either lingers in the harem or farms in his own land.
Zhou Hao did not say clearly that no matter how well Zhao Heng is in good health, he will never have any offspring.
Therefore, no matter how hard the concubines tried, they would never be able to seek a man or a woman.
......
A storm roared overnight.
Zhou Hao hugged Zhao Paner and practiced both nights.
The next day, the face collapsed halfway.
Three women wiped tears as they looked at the collapsed half-covered face.
Zhou Hao went to Shangya to order a Mao, and then rode his horse to Maxing Street.
Seeing the three women's appearance, I comforted him: "Stop crying, I've found a good place for you and just start over. I've covered all the losses this time."
Sun Sanniang said embarrassedly: "Why are you embarrassed to let Guanren pay the money? This is our life."
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "No, Pan'er meets me, it's fate. You and Pan'er are good sisters and fate. I have money to help you. This is fate. Since you believe in fate, don't reject my kindness."
Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang both looked at Zhao Paner.
Zhao Paner's mentality has changed at this moment. She nodded and smiled: "We are good sisters for life, and we must work together in the future, so we don't have to be too polite to Fanlang."
Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang both showed smiles on their faces.
Song Yinzhang hugged Zhao Paner's arm and said coquettishly: "I'll listen to Sister Paner."
Sun Sanniang curled her lips and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk! You can ignore you and me, but I can't do it. I will pay back the money slowly."
Song Yinzhang's face turned red and he looked at Zhou Hao timidly.
Zhao Paner glared at Zhou Hao charmingly.
Zhou Hao was speechless. Did he miss something if he didn't see Zhao Paner for only two hours?
When I left Osmanthus Alley this morning.
He quietly flipped out of Zhao Paner's window and found that Song Yinzhang was hiding in the corner.
However, Zhou Hao did not expose it. Sun Sanniang had known that Zhou Hao had come secretly tonight.
It was nothing to be discovered by Song Yinzhang.
Zhou Hao led the horse and took them to find Chi Pan.
Yong'an Tower is quite suitable. He is going to work harder, but it's fine if he really can't get it.
Where can I buy a house if I have money? Several teahouses in Chatang Lane are preparing to resell because of poor management.
This is all thanks to half-covering your face, haha.
Several people came to Chi Pan's house. The servants from Chi Pan's house said that Chi Pan had gone to the Bian River Wharf to clear the dredging.
Chi Pan is the head of a dock shop. If the docks are delayed from running normally, he will be held accountable and fined.
It rained heavily last night, and the water of the Bian River surged, and the pier was in a mess.
Chapter completed!
