Chapter 141 Reaching the sky in one step

Chapter 141 Reach the sky in one step

It is an honor to become a regular officer.

But it’s also very hard.

It was necessary to get up early for the morning court before dawn, especially for Wu Huaiyu, who lived in Huaiyuanfang, about ten miles away from the East Palace.

"Why don't Erlang move with me to Xuanyangfang House? The yard is big and it's close to the East Palace." Ma Zhou's silk robe, silver fish bag, and black Xiechi crown were enshrined in the imperial palace.

It is also much more majestic.

Ma Zhou invited Huaiyu to live in Xuanyangfang without any intention of showing off.

"Well, leave me a room and I will stay there sometimes." Huaiyu was not polite to his future brother-in-law, and there was no need to be too polite in our relationship.

Riding horseback to the East Palace, many people obviously kept a distance from Wu Huaiyu today, but many officials took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ma Zhou.

They all knew that the prince had been alone with Ma Zhou for nearly an hour yesterday, and later bought Ma Zhou a house worth more than 2,000 yuan in Xuanyangfang.

Ma Zhou's current salary is tens of dan per year, and the salary is only 20 to 30 kuan per year, plus the share of land for the job is tens of dan.

He could not afford a house of more than 2,000 guan, which he could not afford even if he saved up his whole life without eating or drinking.

In contrast, Takejiro, who was still a legend yesterday, was punished in court the day before, and even implicated a general in charge of being demoted, so everyone stayed away from him.

On the contrary, Yan Sigu, the newly appointed minister of Zhongshu Province, and Liu Linfu took the initiative to come over and greet this subordinate. These two were also ministers who were promoted during the adjustment not long ago, and were originally from Zhongshu She.

"Can those poems by Erlang be given as a gift in full?" Yan Sigu was very elegant and suggested that he was editing a book recently and wanted to include Huaiyu's poems.

The family background of this minister of Zhongshu is that his grandfather Yan Zhitui and his father Yan Silu were both great Confucian scholars. During the Sui Dynasty, Yan Sigu was awarded the title of county magistrate. Yang Su still doubted his ability.

But later he was dismissed from his post in Chang'an, and he did not get a new position for ten years. He could only make a living by teaching apprentices in Chang'an, but he taught students all over the world.

When Li Yuan entered the customs, Yan Sigu accompanied his father to greet him. Li Yuan directly awarded him the fifth-rank official position. Over the years, he has been responsible for keeping secrets and classics from Li Shimin's Dunhuang Palace Literature, to the living room, and then to the Zhongshu Room.

As for imperial edicts and edicts, all the edicts and edicts issued by the imperial court in recent years were written by him, and the volumes and memorials he wrote were unparalleled.

This time he was directly promoted to the title of Vice Minister of Zhongshu, and was newly awarded the title of Male of Langya County.

As prime ministers, the two Zhongshu Lings usually attended the prince's meetings and held meetings with ministers. The two Zhongshu Lings were mainly in charge of provincial affairs.

After what happened yesterday, some Tongshiren felt that Wu Huaiyu was a black sheep, but Yan Sigu thought that this young man was quite remarkable.

Liu Linfu, the male minister of the Zhongshu Province in Leping County, is also an old man from the Zhongshu Province. He was a member of the Zhongshushe during the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After working for nine years, he was recognized by the new prince, promoted to the rank of minister of the Zhongshu and granted the title of baron. This shows that he has a different vision.

The two ministers of Zhongshu came to chat with Huaiyu, which surprised the people of Zhongshu and Tongshi who had originally wanted to draw a firm line with Wu Huaiyu.

"Our two ministers were also granted the title of baron on the same day as Erlang." Liu Linfu said with a smile.

There is indeed something interesting about the three barons from Zhongshu Province standing there.

When the time comes, the palace gate opens, and the officials line up to inspect the talismans and enter the palace, and go to the palace to pay their respects in the morning.

Li Shimin seems to be looking good today.

Pei Ji was still the first to go out to perform the memorial.

Yesterday Li Yuan said he wanted to abdicate, and Li Shimin resigned for the third time. Then today, Pei Ji sent a message, but Li Yuan refused.

As a result, as everyone expected, Li Shimin recalled the past of the two men's war, even wiped away tears, and finally accepted the throne.

All the ministers shouted in unison, and Huaiyu followed suit.

Li Shimin asked the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day.

Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju State, the Minister of Rites, said that the ninth day of August is a good day.

Today is the second day of August, and the ninth day will be seven days later. Huaiyu estimates that Li Yuan and Li Shimin, including the prime ministers, are well prepared, hoping that Li Shimin can ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Tang Jian was also Li Yuan's confidant and a hero of Yuanmou. He said that after seven days it would be a good day, and everyone agreed, so it was settled.

Eight prime ministers, together with Tang Jian, the Minister of Rites, and others prepared for the enthronement ceremony.

Today's morning meeting did not discuss the issue of Turks.

The big meetings are about small things, the small ones are about big things.

Before resigning from the court, Li Shimin actually named Wu Huaiyu again.

"The people in Tongshi's house worship Wu Huaiyu, and they will be rewarded with three hundred pieces of silk if they are recommended to the country."

"In the palace, the imperial censors are housed, and the Zhou Dynasty admonishes Chen Wanyan. It is in line with current affairs and is a good strategy for governing the country. It is specially intended that the Jin Dynasty disperse the rank of official and confer the imperial censors. Xuanyangfang gave him the first one."

······

As soon as the prince issued these two reward orders, there were many surprised voices in the palace. This was very rude, but some people couldn't hold it back.

Wu Huaiyu was fined a month's salary yesterday, but today he was given 300 pieces of silk. His monthly salary was only 3,000 yuan, but the 300 pieces of silk were worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Even more surprising is Ma Zhou.

The down-and-out scholar followed Wu Huaiyu to Longyou as his follower. When he came back, he was promoted to the eighth rank, but his rank was only lower than the ninth rank.

It was already very unusual for the prince to grant him the title of imperial censor, but now he was directly granted the title of censor, with the rank of imperial official.

Dr. Chaosan is a descendant of the fifth grade.

Someone was calculating how many levels he had been promoted to, and came to an even more astonishing conclusion. From the ninth level to the fifth level, there was a gap of sixteen levels.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many low-ranking and high-ranking officials, and their positions were changed and transferred at different levels. However, the ranks of officials were relatively strict, and ministers and ministers were often only in the fourth or fifth rank.

Horses reach the sky in one step.

Some people excitedly stood up to object, thinking that the rewards were excessive, against the system, etc.

"If you, like Ma Zhou, can follow Chen's strategies for governing the country, you will be generous with your rewards."

Seeing that many people were unconvinced, he said directly: "I will ask my chamberlain to copy Ma Zhou's Chen Shi Zheng Shu and Chen Tai Zi Shu, these two ten-thousand-word strategies for governing the country, and give them to you to read, so that you can take a good look at what governing a country is.

Strategies and good words to save the world..."

Ma Zhou's advice was not just a scholar's empty talk, but it really touched Li Shimin. When it came to his heart, it was the strategy he was looking for to govern the country, especially suitable for Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty today.

When Li Shimin read it, his thighs turned red. After reading it, Zhao Ma Zhou played the duet alone for more than an hour.

Why do you want to keep politics and religion intact and just maintain the past!

The first sentence of Ma Zhou's remonstrance is very bold. You don't want to die and the Tang Dynasty will also perish, right?

Ma Zhou was not a clickbait, but systematically analyzed the current situation for Li Shimin and gave many precise and practical suggestions. He was prepared for danger in times of peace and spoke out widely, paying attention to people's livelihood without dividing and collecting wealth for the people. What impressed Li Shimin most was that every time he

Any suggestion is not empty, but is based on a realistic perspective, not pragmatic but pragmatic, and both diagnoses and prescribes.

Pointing out problems and giving solutions are all feasible and effective solutions based on reality.

How could Li Shimin not reuse such talents, and they would not be constrained by the ordinary system of official promotion.

Special talents must be used specially.

If he hadn't been afraid of too many objections, Li Shimin would have even planned to ban Ma Zhou, a man from Jianguo County.

Now it is directly upgraded to the fifth grade, which also shows the emperor's attitude of accepting advice and recruiting talents.

Level 5, you can wear the Fei robe and silver fish bag directly, no need to borrow it.

Seeing that many officials were dissatisfied, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and took a few more glances at Pei Ji and other Emperor Wude's confidants. There was obvious disdain on their faces.

"Give Ma Zhou Zijin!" Li Shimin added on the spur of the moment.

As soon as these words came out, there was another sound of surprise.

Ascend from the ninth level to the fifth level, and be able to directly wear scarlet silver. This is already a great gift, and it is also a great exception. But now you are actually giving purple gold?

To give purple gold means to give a purple robe that can only be worn by those with grades above three, and a goldfish bag!

This is truly an infinite glory.

Countless envious eyes focused on Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was stunned.

Wake up and resign.

Li Shimin didn't allow it.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness." After saying this, Li Shimin threw up his sleeves and left.

After a while, Zhang Anan came over holding a purple robe and a goldfish bag, "Ma Yushi, the prince has summoned you to accompany him."

Ma Zhou took the purple-robed goldfish bag and followed Zhang Anan.

The officials in the palace were all surprised.

Except for the low-level enshrining officials from the two provinces and Yushitai, those who can come to Changshen are all ministerial officials above the fifth rank. It is not easy for anyone to be promoted to the fifth rank and be crimson. Along the way, it takes both opportunity and hard work.

, and still have to go through qualifications.

But everyone can only envy Ma Zhou for his good fortune.

Huaiyu followed to get his three hundred bolts of silk, feeling happy for Ma Zhou. He was still a junior seventh-rank official, and was an official of the sixth rank, and also served as a foreign official.

I thought that his speed in becoming an official was as fast as a rocket, but I didn't expect that Ma Zhou was the real one who defied heaven.

Sure enough, gold can shine wherever it goes, especially when it comes to Bole.

However, it is estimated that Ma Zhou will be ostracized by others now, and more will be considered by officials as a lucky minister.

In fact, Wu Huaiyu probably looks like this in the eyes of others.

"His Highness explained that in the future, the military personnel should attend every ten dynasties every five and ten dynasties. The rest of the time, they do not have to work hard in the morning. At the north gate, they should also be on duty after 50 dynasties. The rest of the time, they can concentrate on presiding over the Qujiang Shenji Workshop.

His Highness specially granted twenty acres of land next to Qujiang Shenji Factory for the staff to build houses and live in."

It seems that Li Shimin is still a little impatient and wants Shenjifang's weapons to be used as soon as possible. This is urging.

Thank you for your kindness.

Three hundred bolts of silk would be delivered to his home soon, and the title deed for twenty acres of land next to Yanbo Island in Qujiang was accepted, and he quickly went to Qujiang to work.

Li Shimin paid so much in advance. I'm sorry if I didn't produce the finished product sooner.

At the very least, we need to make some samples first.

After leaving the East Palace, we quickly went to the north gate, called Xu Erzhanzi and a few others, ordered a hundred men and horses from the right camp of the Shenji Camp, and headed for Qujiang.

When I first arrived in Qujiang, I found that Fatty Wu had already died there.

"What brought you here? We haven't even started work yet, and the right guard has come to us asking for equipment?"

The fat man Wu Junya smiled and said, "Youwei really wants weapons and equipment. According to the rules, you have to go to Weiwei Temple. How can you go to the weapons supervisor directly? This is not messy." He took out a piece of paper and said, "From now on,

I will be transferred to the Shenji Battalion as a soldier."

The Shenji Battalion is affiliated to the Tunwei Feiqi, commanding a thousand people, and is also known as the Qianqi Battalion. It has a thousand cavalry envoys, left and right camp envoys, a chief history officer, a soldier cao and a military officer, as well as a school lieutenant, a brigade commander, and a team leader.

The level is based on the Shangtong Military Mansion.

Cao, a soldier in the Shenji camp, joined the army and was ranked eighth grade.

The fat man was promoted. The original Youwei Kai Cao was only promoted from the eighth rank to three ranks in a row.
