Xu Shaoyin's face turned cold as he looked at the young man who suddenly barged in. Before he could say the word "bold", Professor Zheng hurriedly pulled him aside.
"Professor Zheng, you..."
"Shh..." Professor Zheng looked at the angry Xu Shaoyin, immediately made a silence gesture, and whispered: "He, he seems to be Tangning!"
"What?" Upon hearing this name, the anger on Xu Shaoyin's face melted like ice and snow, and he immediately said: "Seriously?"
Professor Zheng said with conviction: "Seriously, I went to see a 16-guard competition and I saw him on the field. I won't admit his mistake!"
Of course he wouldn't admit his fault with this person's face, and he didn't dare to admit his fault. He was just worried that if he offended him, he would die without knowing how.
Xu Shaoyin felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Tang Ning, drew back his neck, and said, "Tang, Mr. Tang... I, I am looking for the Ping An County Magistrate for something important. You, please don't mess around."
This Jingzhao Shaoyin is actually the same person as Liu Feng, the minister of etiquette. He is so good-looking, does he look like someone who can mess around?
He opened his mouth, but before he spoke, Jingzhao Shaoyin immediately said: "Magistrate Zhong, I, I and Professor Zheng have to take their leave first. If you fail to pass the education assessment in Ping'an County next year, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen will
Your Majesty will be informed at the meeting that you will be transferred from Beijing County..."
After saying that, he glanced at Tangning and left quickly as if running away.
Zhong Mingli looked at their leaving figures and shook his head. He had only heard some rumors, but he had no idea that his uncle had already gained such a prestigious reputation in the capital.
He put Jingzhao Mansion's warning behind him, looked at Tangning and asked, "What are you doing here this time?"
"I have something to tell my father-in-law." Tangning looked at him and said, "Be mentally prepared first."
"Mental preparation?"
Zhong Mingli looked at him, then at Zhong Yi, as if he had realized something, and suddenly said happily: "Xiao Yi is happy?"
"Dad!" Zhong Yi turned red, glared at him, and stomped away.
Tangning shook her head and said, "It's not Xiaoyi, it's Yue..."
"What, your mother-in-law is pregnant?" Zhong Mingli's expression changed and he murmured: "This is impossible, obviously every time..."
"Stop!" Tangning stretched out her hand to interrupt him and said hurriedly: "No one is happy. This matter is related to you. Please listen to me first."
Zhong Mingli was relieved and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Tangning took a breath and said, "You may be promoted to Beijing Zhaoyin."
"What?"
Zhong Mingli was stunned, and his expression was even more shocked than when he thought his wife was pregnant. When he was promoted from Yong'an County Magistrate to Ping'an County Magistrate, he had already been promoted three levels in a row. Less than two years later, he was promoted from Ping'an County Magistrate to Beijing.
Zhaoyin, how is this possible? Official positions in the imperial court are not big cabbage...
The most important thing is that he has done nothing, has no particularly outstanding political achievements, and has not passed the educational examination...
Just when he thought of this, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty has an edict. Zhong Mingli, the magistrate of Pingan County, came out to receive the edict..."
…
Xu Shaoyin and Professor Zheng walked out of the room, feeling relieved and slowing down.
Professor Zheng felt uneasy and said, "How could I forget that the Magistrate of Ping'an County is Tang Ning's father-in-law? If he holds a grudge against him, we will be in big trouble! I really shouldn't have listened to Liu Shilang's words yesterday and agreed to embarrass Zhong Zhong.
The county magistrate’s…”
Although Xu Shaoyin was a little panicked, he still managed to calm down and said: "Why are you panicking? What are you panicking about? He is just a doctor in the Ministry of War, not Jing Zhaoyin. He is beyond the reach of the whip and can't control us..."
Professor Zheng thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense, so he felt relieved and said: "Master Sun went to the Ministry of Personnel. I don't know who the next Jing Zhaoyin will be. Will it be Xu Shaoyin? Even if it's not you,
Don’t be from King Kang, otherwise we will not have a good life in the future..."
"I don't know who your Majesty will choose." Xu Shaoyin shook his head and said, "Let's take one step at a time and see..."
The two of them had just walked into the courtyard when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from outside the courtyard, and two eunuchs walked in quickly, surrounded by several guards.
The two of them looked at the things in the eunuch's hands and couldn't help but be startled.
A eunuch walked into the courtyard and shouted: "Your Majesty has an edict, and Ping'an County Magistrate Zhong Mingli will accept it!"
Zhong Mingli hurriedly came out of the hall. When he saw the imperial edict in the eunuch's hand, he was distracted for a moment. Thinking of Tang Ning's words just now, the expression on his face became even more wonderful.
But it only took a moment for him to come back to his senses, knelt on the ground and said, "I accept the order!"
Xu Shaoyin and Professor Zheng also knelt down. They could not kneel when meeting the emperor, but kneeling to receive the imperial edict was part of etiquette.
The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read: "The edict says: Zhong Mingli, the magistrate of Ping'an County, is honest and virtuous. During his time in government, he was diligent and caring for the people. His reputation is very good and he has won my heart... He was awarded the prize by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin.
, I will take office today, thank you very much."
Without doing anything, a Jing Zhaoyin suddenly fell from the sky. Zhong Mingli was in a state of confusion for a moment. He slowly stretched out his hand and said, "I accept the decree. Thank you for your kindness!"
"Jing, Jing Zhaoyin..." Xu Shaoyin slowly turned his head, looked at Professor Zheng, his teeth chattered, and asked: "I, did I hear you correctly?"
Professor Zheng pursed his lips as if he were mourning for his heir, and said, "No, no, yes, it's Jing Zhaoyin."
The Ping'an County Magistrate was suddenly promoted three levels in a row and became Jing Zhaoyin. In other words, they just yelled at their immediate superior and asked their immediate superior for the crime...
Xu Shaoyin swayed and whispered: "Master Zheng, help me, I'm dizzy..."
Professor Zheng said in a trembling voice: "Master Xu, please don't catch me, I'm also dizzy..."
In the courtyard, the eunuch handed the imperial edict to Zhong Mingli and said, "Master Zhong, His Majesty has told you to enter the palace immediately after receiving the edict. Let's go."
Zhong Mingli swallowed his saliva, recovered from this happy event, stretched out his hand and said: "Father-in-law, please..."
"Master Zhong, please..."
…
When there was no one in the hospital, Xu Shaoyin slowly stood up, looked at Professor Zheng, and asked: "Do you think Mr. Zhong will take revenge on us in the future?"
Professor Zheng pursed his lips and said unsurely: "Probably, probably not..."
Inside the royal study.
Zhong Mingli walked into the hall, bowed his hands, lowered his head and said: "I, Zhong Mingli, the magistrate of Ping'an County, come to see your majesty!"
Emperor Chen put down the memorial in his hand, walked down and said, "From now on, you are already Jing Zhaoyin."
Zhong Mingli was startled, and then he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I, Jing Zhaoyin Zhong Mingli, would like to thank your majesty for your kindness!"
Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to be Jing Zhaoyin?"
Zhong Mingli raised his head, moved his lips and said, "I don't know."
Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: "People say that people who kill people and set fires will be ordered to serve as Ping'an County magistrates in three lifetimes. It means that if you kill people and set fires in your previous life, you will be the magistrate of Ping'an County in this life. If you don't practice virtue in three lifetimes, you will be the magistrate of Ping'an County in this life."
Jing Zhaoyin, what do you think?"
Zhong Mingli cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe in the past life. Whether it's the Peace Order or the Jing Zhao Yin, I only act according to my conscience and do my duty."
"I was still hesitant at first whether this was a bit hasty. After all, this dynasty has never had such a precedent." Chen Huang looked at him and said: "Now I feel that no one is more suitable for this position than you."
Zhong Mingli bowed and said, "I am scared."
"You don't have to be humble." Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "I believe you are qualified for this position. However, Jing Zhaoyin is indeed not that easy to take. You can make a request to me and I will consider it as appropriate.
."
Zhong Mingli thought for a while and said, "I beg your Majesty if you dare..."
After a while, Chen Huang watched him go out with a smile on his face and said, "This Jing Zhaoyin is quite interesting."
A figure came out from behind the curtain and said, "I hope he will be a good official in the future."
Chen Huang looked at him and said: "Don't worry, those who can make this request are generally not bad people."
