Outside the Jianji Hall, Wang Yaochen couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Wei Chen had been awarded the title of bachelor of lectures.
One of the important responsibilities of a lecturer is to teach Shujishi. Fortunately, he and Sheng Changbai switched from Shujishi to editor a year in advance. Otherwise, wouldn't they have become Wei Chen's students inexplicably?
That scene is so embarrassing just thinking about it!
Sheng Changbai on the side was actually thinking the same thing as Wang Yaochen, and he was glad that he had not become a student of his future sister-in-law.
Of course, he still had a calm expression on his face, and said slowly: "Boyong, you and I made an agreement with Xingyun in the past, to follow the example of Liu Kun Zuti and see who can strike first with the whip. Now Xingyun goes first, you I have to catch up even more!"
Wang Yaochen was originally a little frustrated because he couldn't catch up with Wei Chen. After hearing this, his expression immediately straightened and he sat up straight involuntarily.
Liu Kun, a minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, had little ambition and became friends with Zu Ti, who heard the chicken dance and attacked Ji in the middle. After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the two of them took it as their own mission to recover the Central Plains, and they used this ambition to strengthen each other and compete for the first place.
Liu Kun once wrote to his relatives: "I am waiting for the day to come, and I am determined to fight against the enemy. I am always afraid that my ancestors will be whipped before me." Lan
Now Sheng Changbai used Liu Kun's allusion to inspire Wang Yaochen, which made Wang Yaochen feel heroic.
At that moment, he solemnly raised his wine glass and said to Sheng Changbai: "Brother Cheng is right. As scholars, we are just like this! I hope that your friendship with Xingyun will be like that of Liu Kun and our ancestors, and we will not be as frustrated as we were in this life." Ambition is rewarded!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Sheng Changbai laughed and drank a glass in return. The two of them exchanged glasses and felt very happy.
Inside Jianji Hall.
Wei Chen was facing the throne to receive the order and thank him.
Zhao Zhen looked at Wei Chen and said, "Wei Qing's family, if I remember correctly, after the Chinese New Year, the two girls from the Sheng family will be getting hairpins. When you return to Beijing this time, you should get married to them, right?" /p>
"That's it. The two elders are already discussing the wedding date." Old Wei Chen blushed slightly, bowed and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for the gift of marriage."
Zhao Zhen smiled and raised his hand and said: "Don't rush to say thank you. I can't come to congratulate you in person this time, but I do have a gift for you."
After saying that, Zhao Zhen looked at Gao Huai who was aside. Gao Huai immediately took out another imperial edict, unfolded it and read it loudly:
"I serve as a lecturer to Duke Wei Chen, who is loyal to the country, holding up the heavens and holding the sun, and serving important festivals without losing his ambition... I am very relieved, and I will give you a special gift to marry him.
In addition, his wife was named the fifth-rank Yiren, and his concubine was named the sixth-rank Anren. Each of them was given a palace robe to show his gentleness and virtuousness. I admire this."
All the ministers looked at Wei Chen with envy. First, he was promoted, and then he was granted a marriage, and was granted the title of wife and concubine. With such honors, there is no one else in this dynasty except Wei Chen.
After listening to Gao Huai read out the imperial edict, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more. He just waved his hand and gave Wei Chen a seat in the hall. 阑
The difference between the inside of the hall and the outside is that there is only one seat per person. After Wei Chen took his seat, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Even though I had expected that I would be promoted, I never thought that I would return to the Hanlin Academy!
It stands to reason that even if an official like Wei Chen who was demoted and sent abroad wanted to return to the Hanlin Academy, he would have to serve as a Beijing official for several years and go through changes before he could return to the Hanlin Academy.
But now Wei Chen has achieved it in one step, directly from the governor of Yuzhou to the bachelor's degree of the Hanlin Academy. I don't know how many tedious steps have been omitted in this process.
Thinking of this, Wei Chen couldn't help but raise his head, quietly glanced at Zhao Zhen on the throne, and thought thoughtfully in his heart: "This is probably the official compensation for me..."
Wei Chen guessed it right.
That’s what Zhao Zhen thinks.阑
After all, when Wei Chen was demoted to Yuzhou, he was the one who suffered on Zhao Zhen's behalf. Zhao Zhen has always felt guilty towards Wei Chen because of this incident. Now that he has found an opportunity, of course he must make up for Wei Chen.
】
As for the gift of marriage and the grant of imperial title, compared with the actual bachelor's degree, Zhao Zhen is happy to give Wei Chen a few of these kind of favors.
Of course, in the eyes of others, this is an unparalleled grace, proving that Wei Chen still has the Holy Scroll.
After Wei Chen, Zhao Zhen summoned dozens of officials, all of whom were among the top performers in each province. Then they were promoted and rewarded, and the atmosphere of the Hajj banquet gradually reached a climax.
After summoning the last official, Zhao Zhen stood up from the throne and said slowly: "I am a little tired, so I will go back to the palace to rest. My dear friends, you may wish to have a drink!"
After saying that, he drove away from Jianji Hall amidst the sound of congratulations.
As soon as Zhao Zhen left, all the officials felt a lot more relaxed, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively.阑
Yuan Yingdao, the governor of Henan, who was sitting next to Wei Chen, stood up and walked to Wei Chen. He raised his glass and congratulated Wei Chen: "Wei has been an official for only a few years, so he will be a lecturer. In another three to five years, he will be a minister.
No problem, congratulations!"
Then came the governor of Guangxi, the governor of Shaanxi... and a group of high-ranking officials gathered around Wei Chen and toasted to Wei Chen one by one.
This situation made Wei Chen feel dazed for a while, and he felt a little dazed. Fortunately, he had amazing self-control and quickly woke up.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. My lords, please stop making fun of Mr. Wei."
Liu Xun, the governor of Jiangnan on the side, couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw Wei Chen being flattered by so many important officials, but his eyes were still clear.
At such a young age, one can avoid being confused by fame and fortune. No wonder such young heroes are favored by His Majesty!
Liu Xun himself is the governor, so of course he understands Yuan Yingdao and others' intention to flatter Wei Chen.阑
Even if he is a feudal official and supervises a province, the imperial court adheres to the principle of keeping things within the realm of internal affairs and guarding external affairs. No matter how big a foreign official is, he must obey the imperial court's words.
Where is the center of the imperial court?
In Longtuge!
At the age of eighteen, Wei Chen became a bachelor of ministers, known as the "Prime Minister". How many years will it take for him to actually enter Longtuge and become a cabinet minister?
I'm afraid you can calculate it with just your fingers.
At most, add toes.
Even if some of the governors in the field have already become officials by then, it doesn’t matter what Wei Chen’s face is. They don’t care about themselves, but they also care about future generations! 阑
It's just a low profile toast to Wei Chen and a few complimentary words for free. What does that mean?
Today Wei Chen is still just a bachelor's lecturer. When Wei Chen really becomes the elder of the court, I'm afraid everyone here will have to look at Wei Chen's mood if they want to toast Wei Chen.
Thinking of this, Liu Xun also picked up the wine glass and stepped forward and said: "Scholar Wei originally passed the sixth grade, and everyone in the south of the Yangtze River was proud of it. Now he has become a lecturer. When the news spreads back to Jiangnan, the elders in his hometown don't know what to do."
Rejoiced."
When Wei Chen heard this, he immediately responded respectfully: "My parents gave birth to me, and my teachers taught me. The kindness of my hometown will never be forgotten by Wei."
Liu Xun twisted his beard and smiled, nodding his head repeatedly.
Seeing that Liu Xun and Wei Chen were chatting happily, and Wei Chen also showed great respect for Liu Xun, several governors nearby couldn't help but cursed secretly in their hearts.
Liu Xun, an old boy, did nothing during his tenure, but he got lucky and managed to produce a talent like Wei Chen. This life situation is really unreasonable! Lan
