Chapter 48 Xiaoba's promotion

Pei Min grinned when he heard this!

Li Bai's poems and swords are both outstanding, and he has long heard of it. Li Bai's love of wine and loves swords is also well known. He has written many famous works about swords in his life, among which the fascinating "kill one person in ten steps, and do not stay a thousand miles away" reveals the chivalrous and carelessness of a knight.

Needless to say, looking at the history of thousands of years, Li Bai's poems are all top-notch. As for the level of swords, Pei Min really doesn't know. It would be a great pleasure to be able to try them out in person.

Pei Min was full of expectations.

The next one is Guo Zhiyun, the military general who retired due to injury, has improved a lot after more than a month of rest.

The imperial doctor told him not to work hard or to worry. If he had good conditioning, he could live a long life of ten years. Otherwise, he would reach his limit in three to five years.

After struggling for fame and fortune for the country for most of his life, Guo Zhiyun's wish was over after recovering Shibao City and the Jiuqu land of Hexi, his wish was gone, and everything was clear. He decided to use the rest of his life to accompany his long-worshipped family.

Li Longji also thought of Guo Zhiyun's achievements and promoted him to General of the Left Wu Guard and was granted the title of Duke of Taiyuan County. He gave him a free position and allowed him to enjoy his old age in Chang'an.

"Mr. Guo, I look good!" Pei Min greeted him happily when he saw that Guo Zhiyun was still tough.

The invitation to Guo Zhiyun was written by him personally, and it was specifically stated in the middle, "If your body is abnormal, you don't need to come in person."

Guo Zhiyun’s arrival in person means that his body has improved a lot.

Guo Zhiyun said: "The environment in Chang'an is indeed more comfortable than in Shanzhou. After taking the imperial doctor's prescription, he has been recuperating for more than a month. Duke Xie is worried and congratulations to Duke. It is a great blessing to have twin children."

"Thank you!" Pei Min also knew that ancient medical technology was backward, and the survival rate of babies was low, especially twins, which was extremely risky.

In this case, Jiao Chen still gave birth naturally without any risk, which shows that he is very lucky.

Next, Pei Min led Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to visit the guests one by one, including old friends from the Censorate, colleagues from the Ministry of War, and some other relatives and friends.

Officers such as Jiang Yue, Li Yide, and Li Siye were also waiting for today in Chang'an and participated in this full moon ceremony together.

According to regulations, all guests must be introduced one by one.

Pei Min also introduced Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to Xiaoba. Xiaoba was extremely obedient and did not seem impatient. Instead, he looked at everyone curiously, not recognizing his life, and laughed "giggling" from time to time.

Suddenly there was some turmoil outside the house. Ning Ze hurriedly ran into the hall from outside the house and whispered in Pei Min's ear: "Young Master, Eunuch Gao is here with the imperial edict."

Pei Min hurriedly pulled Jiao Chen to welcome the order.

Gao Lishi smiled and looked at Pei Min and Jiao Chen who were walking up. He did not immediately announce the imperial edict, but said with a smile: "Duke, but I don't know what the son is called?"

"Xiao Ba!" Pei Min was a little puzzled, but he still told Xiao Ba's name.

Gao Lishi's face turned right and said, "Pei Xiaoba received the order!"

Pei Min's mind was full of confusion. The child who was just over the month old knew something and even accepted the order. It would be nice if he didn't urinate and sucked on the order.

Pei Min could only say: "Pe Min takes the order on behalf of my son!"

Pei Min bowed and beautified. The guests around him also bowed.

"Pei Min, the Duke of Liang, the governor of Yaozhou, the envoy of the Shence Army and the chief censor of the Censor, worked hard and made great contributions to the country and the people. Today I am happy to win the Qilin son Pei Xiaoba, which is worthy of the general celebration. I specially named Chunhelang for commendation, and I admire this!"

Pei Min was a little stunned, and the guests around him were also talking.

Chunhelang is a casual official and has a free position, but no matter how dispersed he is, he is a fifth-rank official. When he changes to his later generations, he will be treated as a deputy bureau-level and bureau-level official.

Some people spend their entire lives just climbing from a ninth-rank sesame official to a sixth-rank local county magistrate.

A newborn child, fifth-rank official!

The difference in treatment before and after this should not be too big.

Gao Lishi smiled and reminded: "Your Majesty is kind to you, so the Duke of the State should accept the order quickly!"

"My name Pei Min thanks Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my son!" Pei Min could only accept the imperial edict with a smile.

"Lishi went back first to report his life! I wish the Duke the family happiness, filial piety and health, and to become a good person as outstanding as the Duke and his wife!"

Gao Lishi came and went in a hurry.

But the shock he left behind was not gone at all.

This book named a newborn child as an official, and it was the first time in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

After the last person was introduced, Kudi came forward to read the recognition text. Then the guest put his hands together to pray for the child and expressed his blessings.

Pei Min made his final thank-you speech, and the full moon ceremony ended and the banquet began.

After some trouble, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were already exhausted and did not cry and make a fuss, so they were very sensible.

Jiao Chen led the two little guys to the inner room to rest, while Pei Min was still fighting outside, drinking and celebrating with the guests.

Pei Min's alcohol tolerance has already made a name for himself in Chang'an, and no one dares to drink with him, and Pei Min doesn't like to force people to drink.

The guests all acted within their means, drinking more if they had a large alcohol content and drinking less if they had a small alcohol content. Everyone enjoyed their time and drank very happily.

Guo Zhiyun was affected by his body and could not drink too much, so he left the seat first.

Pei Min went out to see him off and walked to the front yard.

Guo Zhiyun said: "In a few days, I will go back to Shanzhou to check in and give me instructions. They are all good men of my Tang Dynasty. Don't treat them badly."

Pei Min said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, please do what you have to do with your talents. As long as you are a good knife, you will definitely use it on the blade."

Guo Zhiyun nodded with confidence. From the few talents under Pei Min's command, he was much better at employed people than himself. He then said: "I still have something to take care of the Duke."

Pei Min replied: "Mr. Guo, please speak."

Guo Zhiyun said: "I have a niece named Xia Shan. She is joining the army in Shanzhou. There is no need to take care of her. The niece is riding and shooting at the same time. She is not inferior to a man at all. She can be called a contemporary Mulan. She is just too masculine and can't find her husband. In the future, you will be her boss, help me with snacks and introduce her to a family."

"Okay!" Pei Min didn't expect that it was the case and responded in one go.

"What a pity!" Guo Zhiyun shook his head and said, "I originally planned to match Jun Li's marriage with her, just for the sake of the future. Jun Li will definitely not stay in Shanzhou. The specific candidate depends on yourself."

Pei Min was suddenly stunned. It turned out that he didn't think that Guo Zhiyun said this and instantly remembered similar records in history. Wang Junxian's wife Xia's archery and horses resigned, followed her husband to fight, killed generals in battle, and was intimidated by Xiliang, and was awarded the title of Lady of Wuwei County.

This Xia Shan is probably the wife of Wuwei County recorded in history books. She is a rare general. He is short of cavalry subordinates and has no chance to separate the cavalry who is good at raiding and breaking the formation. This Xia Shan just made up for his shortcomings, but he didn't expect that his appearance would break up this marriage.
