Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth name
The emperor seemed to have a good impression of Luo Tianbao. After chatting with him for a long time, the emperor suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Tianbao is the child's real name?"
"Exactly."
"Well, that's an inelegant name. You will be a minister of the imperial court from now on, so it would be inappropriate to call you by such a name."
Luo Tianbao didn't know how to answer when he heard this. He knew that his name was a bit unpopular, but it was given to him by his adoptive parents. They were both farmers, so what kind of elegant name could they give him? Later, Luo Tianbao has been wandering around the world.
There are not many educated people in this circle, so everyone doesn't mind his name very much. It has been used like this until now. He himself has long been accustomed to it. But now that the emperor said this, Luo Tianbao couldn't refute him. He was in a dilemma for a while.
.
At this time, Queen Zhang who was standing by suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, since you like this child so much, why not give him a name to express the royal family's high regard for their father and son."
The emperor heard this and nodded: "Well, that's a very good thing to say. Are you willing to do it, my child?"
Luo Tianbao secretly said to the emperor, you are also asking a redundant question, do you dare not agree to the name you gave me? But I would definitely not dare to say that in person, so Luo Tianbao immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty's name is actually the honor of the grassroots family."
The emperor was very happy to hear this, and immediately began to think about it: "You martial arts practitioners have always attached great importance to the word chivalry. It seems inappropriate to use the word "chivalry" as a name. Then use the word "righteousness", depending on your age and my nephew.
About the same age, their generation is ranked by the word "Si", so why don't you call her Lin Siyi."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name." Luo Tianbao bowed down and thanked him upon hearing this. You must know that outsiders are not allowed to use the royal family's name rankings. Since the emperor gave Luo Tianbao such a name, he was treated as his nephew.
This was a great honor, so from then on Luo Tianbao used the name Lin Siyi to refer to himself in official occasions.
The emperor named Luo Tianbao, and the queen, prince, and ministers of civil and military affairs immediately congratulated him. The emperor was also very proud, and then encouraged Luo Tianbao a few words before letting him and Zhang Hao retreat.
They led him out of the hall again, and when they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Dong Yan and others had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing this, they hurriedly came up to them and asked about the situation.
"This is not a place to talk. Let's talk when we go back." Luo Tianbao wiped the sweat from his neck and said to everyone. Everyone was right. This is a temporary palace now. How can we allow everyone to chat here? So everyone followed the officials.
After leaving the Shangqing Palace, Li Chengen and others escorted everyone back to their residence.
When everyone arrived and sat down in the small courtyard, Luo and Zhang told the whole story. Everyone was quite envious when they heard that they could meet the emperor and so many famous people in the world, but Shu Yi was a little dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, it's true. Since I've given you the title of Young Marshal, I might as well grant you and the General the title on the spot. Why leave it to Yusi to deal with? Isn't this unnecessary?"
Luo Tianbao and others were shocked when they heard what she said. They immediately looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. Then they said to Shu Yi: "Xiao Yi, please don't talk nonsense. This is the foot of the emperor. It is no better than our Jizhou. What did you just say?"
Then it's disrespectful and will be reported to others. Not only you, but also all of us will be implicated."
Seeing how nervous everyone was, Shu Yi knew that the situation was serious, so she immediately covered her mouth with her hands and did not dare to say any more.
Among the people, Zhang Hao was the most familiar with the court etiquette. He immediately smiled and said to Shu Yi: "Xiaoyi, you don't know something. The court has its rules. Even the emperor cannot randomly appoint people to officials, especially high-ranking officials. They must go through
Appointment can only be made after reconsideration by three provinces and six ministries. This is also for the sake of the country's overall interests."
Shu Yi couldn't help but shook her head after hearing this: "I don't understand, there are so many rules in the court."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this. After that, Luo Tianbao and others were waiting in the small courtyard for the final decision of the court. When they had nothing to do, Luo Tianbao chatted and practiced martial arts with Liu Bai and others. Even though Luo Tianbao was not as capable as Liu Bai, but
When it comes to Jianghu knowledge and martial arts principles, he is better than Liu Bai. Liu Bai originally thought that what Jin Doubao learned was nothing more than this, but later he discovered that many of Luo Tianbao's theories had never been heard before, but he
It happened to contain the truth, and I couldn't help but have a great change in my view of Lin Yunfei and his son, and their relationship became increasingly close.
This morning, Luo Tianbao was supervising his apprentice Wen Kai to practice martial arts at his residence. Liu Bai, Dong Yan and others were also present. Suddenly Li Chengen came again. Luo Tianbao was stunned when he saw this. He thought it was an appointment from the imperial court, but when he asked
It turned out that it was Li Guozhong, the general of the auxiliary state, who invited him to dinner. Luo Tianbao was stunned when he heard this. He had no contact with this powerful official. So far, he only met briefly when he met the sage last time. How could the other party think of inviting him to dinner? Such a thing
It's undoubtedly a bit baffling.
Li Chengen saw it and immediately said: "Young Lord, you must not neglect this matter. General Li is now in power. He is really inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. If you refute his face, I am afraid it will be unfair to you."
A good father and son are in trouble."
Luo Tianbao knew that Li Chengen was a straight person. Since he said this, it was clear that the matter was of great importance, so Luo Tianbao did not dare to neglect and agreed immediately. After telling everyone, everyone was also very surprised. They didn't know that Li Guozhong had this time.
Everyone had a final discussion about what the banquet was about, and they decided to go, but Luo Tianbao couldn't go alone. The Shu sisters were Luo Tianbao's personal captains, so they naturally wanted to go with them, and Liu Bai actually volunteered this time.
I want to go with Luo Tianbao.
"Li Guozhong is famous all over the world. I also want to meet such a big shot. Besides, with my ability, I can go with you, Brother Lin. I can help out a little if necessary, right?"
Luo Tianbao knew that Liu Bai was speaking politely. In fact, among the group, he was the best in martial arts and had good looks and temperament. It would not be a bad thing for him to go with him. In this way, everyone finally decided that Luo Tianbao would leave the remaining
Everyone entrusted Ding Xie and Dong Yan to take care of them, and he took Liu Bai and others to the banquet with Li Chengen.
Li Chengen's residence is at the foot of the mountain of Shangqing Palace. It was originally a local farmer's house. Now it was requisitioned by the imperial court. The place itself is not big, so the banquet was held in the yard. Li Guozhong also gave Luo Tianbao face and went out to greet him in person.
On the way here, Luo Tianbao heard from Li Chengen and others that Li Guozhong was a favorite of the emperor. He was always very domineering and almost no one in the court paid attention to him. It was extremely rare for him to go out to greet him in person this time. When Luo Tianbao saw this
He also gave gifts repeatedly.
"Lin Siyi, a common man, meets the general."
"Sir Lin, please wake up. No need to be too polite. Oops, that's not right. I'm afraid I should call you Lin Zhonglang now." Li Guozhong couldn't help but beam with joy when he saw this. Luo Tianbao heard the other party's voice, which was quite familiar, and recalled it for a moment.
When he met the emperor that day, there was a sharp voice delivering an edict on behalf of the emperor. It turned out to be Li Guozhong. However, compared with these, the second half of the other person's words made him feel even more confused.
"General, what do you mean by this?"
