The next morning, at the entrance of the Lu Residence.
At this moment, Lu Zhi and Lu Su were standing beside Li Xiao, their faces carrying gentle expressions as they helped Li Xiao tidy up his green-white long robe.
Today was the day of conferring titles.
Li Xiao didn't do anything, but the two little girls were so excited that they couldn't sleep the entire night.
"Husband, you're so handsome today!
After today, your husband will be the Defender Marquis of the Great Qin Imperial Court.”
Looking at Li Xiao's handsome face, Lu Zhi and Lu Su's faces both revealed an infatuated look.
"Husband, you look exceptionally handsome today!”
At this moment, Duke Lu came to Li Xiao with an excited expression and said,"
"Virtuous son-in-law, I heard from Zhi-er that His Majesty the Emperor personally came to visit you yesterday.
I'm going to make you a first-class marquis, a guardian marquis!
Is this true?"
Li Xiao nodded and said with a smile,"
"Father-in-law, this matter is indeed true.
Today, I will go to the Qilin Palace and accept His Majesty's appointment as the Defender Marquis.
In the future, you will be Lord Marquis 'father-in-law!”
Upon hearing this, Master Lu's old face almost blossomed with a smile, and there was a trace of gratification. He had indeed not misjudged this kid back then. Now, he had directly ascended to the heavens in one step.
First Rank Marquises and Kingdom Defending Marquises were incredibly glorious statuses in Great Qin!
At this moment, for some reason, Lu Gong suddenly thought of Liu Bang from Pei County and could not help but compare Liu Bang to Li Xiao.
That Liu Bang was a hooligan. How could he compare to the son-in-law that he had carefully selected?
Fortunately, he had chased Yi Xiaochuan away back then.
Otherwise, how could my eldest daughter have the fortune to marry the current Defender Marquis!
Duke Lu was very satisfied with Li Xiao.
"Alright, alright!"
Lu Gong smiled and said,"
"Your son-in-law is indeed not an ordinary person. He was conferred the title of Defender Marquis as soon as he entered Xianyang.
This old man is also planning to use his connections to get your son-in-law to become an official in the Imperial Court.
It turned out that there was already a ravine in his heart!”
"Thank you for your concern, father-in-law!" After tidying up his green and white clothes, Li Xiao cupped his hands at Duke Lu.
Seeing Lu Zhi's old face blooming with smiles as he blocked Li Xiao's path, Lu Zhi could not help but say,"
"Father, husband is going to accept the title.
Hurry up and make way, lest your husband delays the time.
At that time, His Majesty would blame him.
I can't bear it!"
Lu Su's entire gaze was also on Li Xiao, and she casually said in a daze,"
"That's right, Daddy can't delay this!”
Duke Lu's old face instantly stiffened. He looked at Li Xiao awkwardly and could not help but sigh in his heart. As expected, a grown woman could not be kept!
......
As the two women chattered, Li Xiao got into the carriage and headed in the direction of Xianyang Palace. His expression returned to normal.
In front of Xianyang Palace's entrance, the supervisor was already waiting for Li Xiao's carriage.
When he saw Li Xiao's carriage coming over, he hurriedly brought his men to welcome it and said respectfully,"
"This lowly one greets Lord Marquis!"
Li Xiao knew the rules. He got off the carriage and smiled politely. He said in a gentle tone,"
"Thank you, Eunuch!"
As he spoke, Li Xiao quietly stuffed the gold in his hand into the hands of the incharge.
The in-charge's face was full of smiles as he said,
"It's fine, Lord Marquis is too polite!
This lowly one had received the Emperor's order early in the morning to wait for Lord Marquis at the palace gates.
Lord Marquis, please follow this lowly one into the carriage!"
Li Xiao nodded and followed behind the in-charge supervisor into a luxurious carriage.
"Lord Marquis, please descend and enter Xianyang Palace!"
"Set up the guards and the Imperial Army!"
After Li Xiao entered the carriage, the face of the supervisor could not help but reveal a look of admiration and respect.
"You are truly a gentleman. You are so polite and generous to a eunuch like me.”
The supervisor held the gold in his pocket and the smile on his face grew wider.
Eunuchs in this era were considered a rather lowly profession and were looked down upon and despised by the officials in the court.
Usually, those officials with some official positions would look down on these eunuchs.
All of them were arrogant.
It was already good enough that they did not beat or scold them. How could there be any official who would give a eunuch a few rewards?
Just a rotten person without roots!
The incharge didn't have time to think and hurriedly followed behind the convoy. The entire convoy was led by a luxurious carriage in the middle, with four black-armored Imperial Army soldiers riding in front and behind.
A lone horse, escorted by eight riders!
Wherever the luxurious carriage passed, the eunuchs, maids, and Imperial Army soldiers could not help but whisper.
"Who is entering the palace? Even the Prime Minister didn't have such a standard!”
"That's right! When the Imperial Advisor entered Xianyang Palace, he was only escorted by six riders.”
"Who is sitting inside?”
"Shh, lower your voice. Those who can sit in the carriage are definitely noble!”
"Didn't you see the in-charge of the internal affairs department jogging along?
Hiss, who was sitting inside?”
......
Even the ministers who had come to Xianyang Palace on their horses were shocked.
They had only seen such a standard when they conferred the title of Imperial Advisor, Xu Fu.
Moreover, there were only six of them escorting him!
But now, there were a total of eight cavalry escorting him.
Which lord was he going to confer this title to? It was actually so terrifying. Everyone's expressions were strange!
Most of them were terrified.
He secretly thought that the imperial court was about to change.
Two hours later, Ying Zheng of the Qilin Palace sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look on his face.
Below him were the civil and military officials sitting on both sides, all of them wearing strange expressions.
The only one who knew what was going to happen was probably Meng Tian, who was sitting calmly at the side.
When everyone was seated, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice,"
"Yesterday, I found a great sage and agreed to confer him the title of First Grade Guardian Marquis of Great Qin.
Today, the royal court will confer the title.
On this day, my Great Qin has one more Divine Marquis.
From then on, there would be another great talent of the country!”
"Pro-Provoke the Defender Marquis into the palace!"
As soon as Ying Zheng's voice fell, a eunuch beside him shouted with his croaky voice.
Li Xiao slowly walked into the Qilin Palace, bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng and said,"
"Li Xiao greets Your Majesty!"
"Beloved minister, please rise!"
A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face as he looked at all the civil and military officials in the court and said,"
"I hereby confer Li Xiao the title of Defender Marquis! Do you have any objections?”
The moment they saw Li Xiao appear, many people who had seen Li Xiao's appearance revealed a look of understanding in their eyes.
As for those who had never seen Li Xiao's appearance, such as Li Si, Feng Quji, and the other powerful officials, they frowned slightly. They had naturally heard of Li Xiao's reputation.
This period of time had been like a thunderclap.
Seeing that none of the ministers had any objections, Ying Zheng's face showed a trace of satisfaction.
At this moment, a rather discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"I disagree!"
