Chapter 458: The Boy Who Slays the Dragon Becomes a Dragon
Originally, a talented man or a beautiful woman might as well be reduced to a good story if he lived his life in such a plain way.
But fate will eventually have twists and turns...
Fortune... still only messes with people...
Li Yuanzhao, who had worked diligently in the Hanlin Academy for more than three years, was finally promoted...
And the reason is just because of a memorial letter written by Li Yuanzhao...
"This man has great literary talents and a great mind. Just by looking at his writings, I know that he has lofty aspirations and cares about the world. Being a editor in the Hanlin Academy is really an underachievement. I promoted him to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and became a member.
A foreigner..."
Of course, Emperor Jiawei still remembered the number one scholar he had appointed. After all, since the beginning of the dynasty, he was the second prodigy who could win three prizes in a row...
Therefore, this sacrificial letter is just a reason. As for his outstanding literary talent and his mind, Emperor Jiawei has already known it, otherwise he would not have chosen him to be the number one scholar. It is just that there is no vacancy in the court and he has always had the intention.
Promotion, no placement anywhere.
As a result, either there is no resettlement, or once the resettlement is made, a big fat man will be resettled!
Officials!
Appointment and removal of competent officials, political assessment!
There are four Qing officials divisions, which are responsible for literary selection, seal verification, merit examination, and merit examination. Each division has one doctor (the fifth rank), one Yuanwailang (the fifth rank), and one person in charge (the sixth rank).
.
It means that Li Yuanzhao not only entered the Feishui Yamen, but was promoted two levels in a row, from the fifth rank to the title of Secretary Wailang!
What is seal verification?
It is the department that is responsible for sealing and reporting after the other three departments have finished their work, recorded their names, and finally stamped the report! The real power is the greatest and the most lucrative! It is a highly anticipated position with all the stars in it!!
How many people wanted to sharpen their heads to get in, but they still couldn't get in. With a word from the emperor, Li Yuanzhao took up the post immediately!
Almost in the blink of an eye, a strong wind suddenly rose, dazzling people's eyes, and the former Li family members swarmed in like snowflakes, rushing to visit, with countless greetings and gift lists, and they were pulled in one by one.
Li Yuanzhao’s new residence!
However, at this time, Li Yuanzhao was still just a good and sincere young man... So, he decided...
All rejected...
"As relatives, you can travel thousands of miles to come to express your congratulations. I will gladly accept it. However, I will bear the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries. In your position, you will be a shadow. I have received your thoughts. As for the gift list...
…I’m sorry that I can only express my gratitude…”
Li Yuanzhao cupped his hands and smiled at everyone.
But everyone, some as elders and some as legitimate sons, could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out, and laughed together.
What a stupid young man! As an official, let me see how long you can laugh!!
After the family banquet, the aggrieved family members had no choice but to take back the gifts in disgrace. Naturally, this incident reached the ears of Emperor Jiawei...
"This boy can be of great use!! Let's see how he does..."
Emperor Jiawei smiled noncommittally and threw the secret memorial back on the Long Bookcase...

………………
The days are getting better day by day...
Li Yuanzhao now also lives in Sanjin's large mansion.
And he also brought his mother, younger brother, and younger sister who were far away in the south of the Yangtze River into the capital.
Not long after, his wife Wan Ningshuang gave birth to his first child...
"Let's call him Li Cheng'en! After all, our husband and wife are where we are today thanks to the emperor's grace and the promotion of the sage. We must let our children become the pillars of the Liang Kingdom in order to repay the emperor's grace! For me
Liang Guo created a prosperous age!" Li Yuanzhao held up his first child, laughing and crying at the same time, crying with joy.
Wan Ningshuang, who looked a little pale and haggard, nodded with a smile with tears in her eyes...
"Okay...it all depends on Mr. Lang..."
…………

Since then, Li Yuanzhao has been more dedicated to the government affairs he is responsible for. Whenever a case file for official evaluation is sent to him, he will do it personally and conduct inspections only after conducting multiple rounds of inspections. For those colleagues who want to bribe him and accommodate him,
, scoffed even more, and even directly collected evidence of the crime and reported it to the court...
The reputation of being an upright official and being an honest official was gradually established.
With enemies everywhere, the situation of being alone and isolated gradually became apparent...
Finally... the young, promising, diligent and self-restrained Li Yuanzhao was once again promoted by the emperor...
In just three years, he was promoted step by step from a fifth-rank Yuanwailang to a third-rank official right servant. He became a celebrity in the court with unlimited glory. However, as his power increased,
As he grew older, the level of bureaucrats he could reach became higher and higher, but his habit of practicing strict law enforcement has not changed at all...
This also led to him finally...provoking someone he shouldn't and couldn't afford to offend...
The king of Fujian at that time...Wang Xinrui...
The reason was simply that Li Yuanzhao pointed out the shortcomings of the party members whom the King of Fujian intended to promote one by one, and rejected their promotions one by one. Once or twice, the King of Fujian tolerated it, but again and again, the King of Fujian refused.
…I really can’t bear it anymore…
And his method of revenge on Li Yuanzhao was also very simple and crude...
That is... setting the house on fire...
Since you are a popular person in the court and I cannot impeach you, then I might as well get rid of you. Anyway, there are such things as cheating... How can there not be dozens of riots in the capital every year...?
But the people of the King of Fujian never understood one thing...
That is... it is impossible for a person who works diligently as an official and serves the country with self-denial to return home early to rest.
When Li Yuanzhao returned to Li Mansion in an official sedan, what he saw... was the ruins of the courtyard and the noise of fireworks and dust all over the sky.
The younger brother and younger sister who lived in the front yard were picked up in time by servants.
But the mother, Wan Ningshuang and their three-year-old child who live in the backyard...
All perished in the sea of fire...
Li Yuanzhao knelt on the ground, looking at the scene and corpse in front of him, crying so hard that he wanted to die. He sought death several times, but was stopped by a group of servants...
As Li Yuanzhao gradually calmed down, the first thing he did was go to the palace and kneel in front of the imperial study room...
he
Emperor Jiawei in the imperial study
I know in my heart who set this fire...
So, he... chose to go to the palace alone...
Therefore, Emperor Jiawei never came out to see him.
King of Fujian
Emperor Jiawei will have to deal with it sooner or later... www.八一zw.????m
But not now...
Because the plan laid out by Emperor Jiawei is not big enough or comprehensive enough, closing the net in advance will only leave behind disaster.
Li Yuanzhao, who went to court every day and had many long conversations with Emperor Jiawei all night long, knew this in his heart.
But he...went anyway...
He went there with the determination to serve the country loyally for many years, regardless of life and death...
I went and knelt all day and night until dawn, but I waited for the order from Emperor Jiawei to suspend the government today.
Li Yuanzhao leaned on the ground, smiled bitterly, and then relied on his hands to crawl from the imperial study room back to the sedan chair in front of the imperial city gate.
"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion...to meet the Prime Minister..."
From the moment Li Yuanzhao said these words coldly, his eyes completely changed.
This fire not only took away his close relatives, but also burned to death the man who was once sincere...
And this day and night not only killed the emperor's grace in his heart, but also rebuilt his soul...
Since... no one in the world is willing to make the decision for me!!
Then I...what's the use of caring about this world!!!
