Chapter 112: Blue (Part 2)

The carriage landed smoothly.

A eunuch said carefully: "Your Majesty, you're here!"

"Well!" Wang Hongyi slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the eunuch who was not celebrating the salute, and went to the study.

A cold wind passed under the eaves. Wang Hongyi didn't say anything for a moment. He entered the study and ordered the ink to be ground. After the grinding was done, Wang Hongyi's eyes flashed with a faint light, only looking at a screen.

There are lotus flowers on the screen that are about to bloom, but there are many words written behind the screen.

It is said that the monarch is busy with all kinds of things every day, and there are hundreds of memorials to be praised every day, and there are thousands of people involved.

In addition to important officials, the monarch also has the eunuchs who serve him around him, which is difficult to remember, so many monarchs have similar measures to write down their names to prevent them from being missed.

Like other monarchs, the names written on this screen are all ministers who left a deep impression on Wang Hongyi, but the standards are different from others. Each name on them is a name above gold.

And above the light blue color, you should pay more attention to it, and it only fills in the center in the secret.

It took me a long time to murmur: "Plus!"

As he said that, he picked up the pen on the screen, first wrote Chen Qing’s name near the center, and then added five golden names to the corner. After writing, he put down his pen and sighed.

There are now more than thirty golden names, all of which can be the magistrate of a county or the head of the six ministries, or they can be cultivated. However, light green ones can be used as long as they pass the test of talent and loyalty, and they can be very useful and take charge of the affairs of a department and a province.

Now the light blue color is just a few single digit names.

However, even if you have luck, you cannot get it in one step. Those who are willing to enter the officialdom will all enter the officialdom from the ninth grade or the ninth grade, especially these people, who have tasks - seek wealth and danger!

Half a month later, Chengdu Prefecture

It was already close to dusk.

The faint sunlight shone slanted over, fell to the ground, and sprinkled into a piece. The golden light made people walking on the road unable to help but squint their eyes before they could see the road ahead.

A fast horse ran from the official road at this time, carrying a slit of dust and galloping towards Chengdu Prefecture. There was a faint dust and fatigue on the face of the horse, and it seemed that he had been rushing over for days.

The city gate of Chengdu Prefecture will be closed in a while, and the number of people entering and leaving the city has gradually decreased.

"I heard that the pigs in Butcher Zhang are very cheap to go into the water. If you don't come back later, you will get two pounds and cook them to make them so that they can drink warm wine?" Some soldiers at the city gate laughed happily.

In the past six months, as the situation in Jingzhou has become increasingly stable, even those who work in Chengdu have received a lot of rewards. Everyone is happy and becomes more and more motivated when doing things.

This is different from the time of stuttering when he was a employed person. The King of Chu did things and paid more than slim money, and the rules were very strict. If he couldn't do it well and lost this job, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it when he went back.

"In the past six months, there have been a lot more caravans entering and leaving the city gate than before. Do you notice?" A soldier who was about to clean up and closed the city gate said, "I heard that some time ago, many noble people rushed to Jingzhou. I heard that they were going to Xiangyang City to pay homage to the king. Wow, it's a pity that we are just a little soldier. If we have their family background, I also want to pay homage to the king and go to the palace to open my eyes!"

"You are so cowardly. Even if you have a rich man, I'm afraid I can't help it!" After hearing his words, someone next to him immediately laughed.

"I said, don't complain, you know that Wang Dabian, who is patrolling the west end of the city?" The fire chief in charge of the team came over and patted the shoulder of the person who spoke before: "He is also from a mud-legged person like us, and there is no one to take care of him. But he was promoted and wealthy and transferred to Xiangyang to become an imperial guard? I heard that he had met the king several times from afar!"

"Now he is in the top position in the deputy team. Wang Erbian, who used to be unable to marry a wife, is now a matchmaker who comes to introduce him to him! He is really a one-man who has achieved enlightenment and can be ascended to heaven!"

"Really?" Everyone else also surrounded him at this time. They all looked envious of this.

Someone said in surprise: "I have heard of this, but I thought it was a nonsense, is it true?"

By the way, the army was eliminated and transferred to the industry at all times. Some soldiers with poor health and low quality were constantly transferred to the local area to serve as wing soldiers.

Generally speaking, only the main army transferred to the wing soldiers, but there are few opposites.

"He still has luck! The imperial guards in Xiangyang City, I heard that one person's salary is worth our team!"

"Brother Liu, how did he choose?" someone even asked.

Lao Liu is a popular person here. He knows a lot of people in his daily life, and he knows a lot of inside information. He doesn’t know some of the rumors. When he asks him, he can tell the truth or the false.

"It's because he applied to Jiaozhou some time ago and got the results of the battle, so that the superiors knew about him! If you want to make a personal appearance, you can also imitate him and fight on the battlefield. As long as you come back with your life, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself!"

Huo Chang looked at them with a smile and said, "Do you dare to take your head and fight for wealth?"

As soon as he said that, the group of people immediately burst into tears: "Don't, we are not this material, so we should guard the city gate safely! One thousand words a month, I can eat enough, and I still have some oil and water!"

"That's right, how can you talk about wealth and honor after losing your life?" A group of people were talking and laughing, riding from far to near, towards the gate.

At this time, the city gate was half closed and the suspension bridge was about to be pulled up. The man hurriedly shouted from afar: "Wait a minute!"

"I'm afraid there is something urgent, so I keep the gate for a while and let him go over and forget about it." Asked the Fire Chief if he was waiting, the Fire Chief hesitated and ordered the city gate to stay for a while and wait a moment.

The city gate is closed for a night. If there is something urgent and you are trapped outside, wouldn’t it be delayed?

Moreover, the time when the city gate is closed is based on "carving". It is nothing to do if you have more time and less time, and it does not violate the above rules.

Soon the rider arrived at the city gate and was stopped at the city gate.

Even at this time, routine examinations should still be conducted, otherwise if you are discovered, you will immediately have thirty boards and peel off your clothes and go home.

After checking, the rider thanked him, threw a piece of silver, about half a tael, and got on his horse and entered the city.

"Haha, I'll have a few drinks later. This person is tactful and knows how to give me some hard money!" Huo Chang weighed the broken silver in his hand, half a pound, and said with a smile.

Although the money was not much, ten people went to eat and drink for a meal, and it was still very rich.

"I know this person. The Chen family, which is a new house in Laobaizi Hutong in the east of the city, is his master's family. They are all from the Chen family and are the head of the chamber of commerce. In the past, they said that there would be a Chen family caravan when they went to Xiangyang..."

"No wonder they are generous in their actions. After all, they are from wealthy families, even if they are branches..."

Not to mention this, let’s talk about the chief of the Chen family. After riding a horse into the city, he didn’t even take a break and urged his horse to go straight to the Laobaizi Hutong.

In front of Laobaizi Hutong, vehicles were traveling, which was much more lively than before.

After the man dismounted, he led his horse over. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion, the head of a mansion standing at the gate of the mansion saw him. He hurriedly trotted over a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you back? Where is the master?"

"The master was granted an official position by the King of Chu. I am afraid I can't come back for a while and I will send me back to report a happy message first!" The man who rushed back replied in a low voice.

"This is not a place to speak, come with me."

Because there were some people talking in front of the door, it was very lively and no one noticed the movement.

After entering the door, he walked back. Along the way, the person who came here asked, "Why is the mansion so lively these days?"

"Hey, it's not about Xiangyang. More than a dozen families have gone, some people have returned, and some have not come back yet. The second and third masters are a little anxious and are about to find out the news."

"You happened to be back. The second and third masters will be very happy. You are waiting here, I will report to the flower hall. The two are meeting guests. I will take you away first. You can wait here for a while."

While talking, the two arrived at the study room and asked the people who rushed back to wait. The head of the house led the horse away.

In about a cup of tea, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the flower hall.

"Chen Sanye, are you back?" The person who came over was Chen Zheng, the second son of the Chen family who escaped after hearing the news. Seeing that Chen Sanye, the distant nephew who was rushing to Xiangyang, came back, Chen Zheng was immediately overjoyed and called him to enter the study: "Come in."

"Yes, second uncle!" Chen Sanye hurriedly followed him, entered the study room, and closed the door with his backhand.

"What's wrong with the master now? Why are you the only one coming back? But what's the matter in Xiangyang delayed?" Chen Zheng couldn't help but ask, as soon as he took the seat.

"Second uncle, this is a happy event. The master has obtained the official position and is left with a familiar situation at this time. I am afraid that I will not be able to return home for a while." Chen Sanye hurriedly congratulated him.

Even if they are of the same clan, they are still called the master of the family.

"Official body? Where did you start? When did you learn to keep half of your words? Why don't you say it quickly?"

"Yes, the second uncle, the master met the king and obtained the ninth rank official."

Chen Sanye brought the heads of more than a dozen families into the palace to attend the banquet. The master accidentally obtained the ninth rank official and stayed alone to be summoned by the King of Chu. He was sent back to send a letter to comfort the family, and he said it in full.

What he knew was not detailed, it was enough to explain the whole story.

"The ninth-rank official... the master accepted it directly without refusing it?" Although he knew that the eldest brother highly praised the King of Chu, the one who Wei Yue promised to the eldest brother was a fifth-rank official, and the eldest brother resigned directly after he was sick. Now he is only a ninth-rank official, so the eldest brother accepted it directly?

"Second uncle, the master accepted it very readily!" Chen Sanye replied.

"It seems that the master has made the decision." Chen Zheng laughed, as if he had realized something, and then said, "Since the news has been sent back, the family is relieved. You have been traveling for a few days. Thank you for your hard work. Go down to rest. Go to the account office to get twenty taels of silver. This is your hard-earned money for this trip."

"Thank you for the second uncle!" Chen Sanye continued happily. He got fifty taels on the way, and there were still ten taels left. This time he received twenty taels, and he got thirty taels every time he came and went. Although it was a little harder, it was still worth it.

Seeing him leaving, Chen Zheng stood up and walked back and forth in the study, thinking about something.

At this time, Chen Qing packed his bags, took only four followers and set off on the way.

"Master, are we going back to Chengdu Mansion?" A follower couldn't help asking when he saw the wrong direction.

They were all close friends, and Chen Qing had nothing to hide, and smiled: "Go back to Wu Yue!"

"Wu Yue?" Hearing this, the four of them accompanied him looked puzzled.
