He immediately guessed that Dai Jinyun had committed a crime because the palace was so anxious about the edict.
I saw that Ximen Qing had already launched the edict and read it loudly: "Dai Jinyun, you have contributed to the implementation of the new tax policy. Now the imperial court wants to select fifty states across the country to experiment with the new tax policy. It has established a new taxation department in the Ministry of Civil Affairs to lead the experiment of the new tax policy."
, wearing Dai Jinyun as the tax department official Wai Lang, from the sixth grade..."
Dai Zhou was dumbfounded.
Dai Jinyun was also stunned.
Joined the court as an official?
From a white body, he suddenly became a sixth-grade official!
"Take the order, Dai Yuanwailang." Ximen Qing put away the order and said with a smile.
Dai Jinyun was stunned for a moment, then accepted the order, but his mind was still in a mess.
Dai Zhou had already stepped forward and asked curiously: "Manager Ximen, what's going on? Why did your Majesty let my nephew serve as the tax department official?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Mr. Dai, it's a long story, but this is the credit of Prince Consort Du. It was Prince Consort Du who strongly recommended Mr. Dai in front of Your Majesty, and even used his own head to vouch for it, so Your Majesty agreed.
of."
Dai Zhou: "..."
He immediately blushed.
Just now he was saying that Du He must be on guard.
Unexpectedly, Du He had already sought an official position as a tax clerk for his nephew in front of His Majesty.
Farewell Ximen Qing.
Dai Jinyun put away the edict, turned to look at Dai Zhou, and said: "Uncle, I have said that the teacher is not that kind of person. Throughout his life, the teacher does not seek fame and wealth, and does not love money. Whenever there is benefit, he will think of him.
When the students were in trouble, he would always bear it alone..."
Dai Zhou showed an embarrassed smile and said: "Jin Yun, this time, my uncle was wrong. He really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. You are right. Since it was Du He who recommended him, you can't understand.
As a courtesy, you should quickly take your things and go to Laiguo Duke's Mansion to thank your teacher in person. As a human being, you must know how to be grateful and filial. Du He is still your teacher. You can be both emotional and rational.
I want to see him... No, let me go with you. Today's Laiguo Palace is not ordinary. Du Xiang was promoted to Taiwei, Du He served as the chief guest officer of the Ministry of Rites, and Du Gou was the governor of Dengzhou.
, there are still two princesses and a princess living in the mansion... It's really strange. Originally, the Lai Kingdom Duke's mansion was not prosperous, but now they all show up."
After that, Dai Zhou had people prepare generous gifts, and he took Dai Jinyun with him and hurriedly took a carriage into Chang'an City and arrived at the gate of Laiguo Duke's Mansion.
However, I didn't meet Du He and Du Ruhui.
The old man said: "Master Dai, Mr. Dai, my master and young master went to the palace early in the morning and have not come back yet. It is really a coincidence."
Dai Jinyun turned around and said, "Uncle, the teacher and Lieutenant Du are not here. Let's go back first and visit him another day."
Dai Zhou glared at Dai Jinyun and said angrily: "What do you know? We are here to thank Du He. If we can't wait even this time, how can we show our sincerity."
With that, he said to the servant: "It doesn't matter, let's wait for Captain Du and Du He to come back."
The servant stretched out his hand and said, "Master Dai and Master Dai, please come and sit down in the mansion."
Dai Zhou shook his head: "No, we will wait here."
The two of them refused to go in no matter what.
Just waiting at the door.
I don’t know how long it took, but Dai Jinyun couldn’t hold on anymore and asked: “Uncle, it’s too cold tonight, it seems like it’s going to snow, should we wait?”
"Wait, you see, an hour has passed. If we go back now, all our efforts will be wasted. I don't believe that Du Taiwei and Du He can still stay in the palace, wait." Dai Zhou gritted his teeth and said.
Dai Jinyun asked: "Uncle, are you cold?"
Dai Zhou: "I'm worthless. I can't stand even the cold. If it's cold, just wrap up your clothes tightly."
"oh!"
I don't know how much time passed.
Dai Zhou suddenly asked with chattering teeth: "Jin Yun, are you cold?"
Dai Jinyun: "Uncle, I'm not cold."
"Huh? Look, it's snowing, how can you not be cold?"
Dai Jinyun: "Uncle, my whole body is frozen, numb, and not cold."
Dai Zhou: "..."
The two of them were talking when they saw a carriage parked at the door of Laiguo Duke's Mansion.
Du He helped Du Ruhui walk down.
Dai Jinyun's uncle and nephew rushed forward and said with great joy: "Oh, Captain Du and Du He, I've waited for you."
Du He was startled, looked up and saw Dai Zhou and Dai Jinyun, and asked curiously: "Master Dai, what are you doing?"
Dai Zhou was trembling all over and said: "Damn it, shake it, don't say anything else, can you let us... we have to go to the mansion first?"
Du He hurriedly called for help to help Dai Zhou and Dai Jinyun enter the house.
When they arrived at the main hall, Du He asked people to increase the power of the hot water tablets and boiled two bowls of ginger soup to keep out the cold, and asked Dai Zhou and Dai Jinyun to drink it while it was hot.
Then, Du He asked: "Master Dai, what are you causing trouble in the middle of the night?"
Dai Zhou sniffed and said, "Du He, don't be too secretive. Your Majesty's decree has been delivered to Dai's house when it gets dark today. From now on, my nephew Jin Yun will be a member of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
I have become a minister of the imperial court. Others don’t know it, but I know it. This is all due to you. If you hadn’t strongly recommended me in front of His Majesty, how could Jin Yun have such good luck... Today, I brought Jin Yun here specially.
I came to thank you... Look, these are a pair of carps that I specially asked someone to send from Jiangnan. They are golden in color and of infinite value. I will give them to you for viewing..."
With that said, he asked Dai Jinyun to open a wooden box.
Dai Zhou said proudly: "Du Taiwei, Du He, you have never seen such a beautiful carp!"
Du Ruhui coughed and said, "Indeed, this is my first time seeing such a carp."
Du He also said: "Master Dai, this gift is really too heavy. I have never seen it before."
Dai Zhou was even more proud and said: "Yes, this carp is hard to come by. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. However, today I am willing to give it to Du He. My nephew, the friendship between the two of us is just like this pair."
The carp is so shining, haha..."
At this time, Dai Jinyun suddenly tugged on his sleeve and whispered: "Uncle, stop talking."
"Don't interrupt me...let me take a good look at this carp!"
Dai Zhou looked down.
Ga.
Suddenly dumbfounded.
I saw that the carp was still in the box, but it was completely frozen.
There was not water in the box, but a pile of ice cubes.
Needless to say, the carp must have died long ago.
Du He took the box from Dai Jinyun and said, "I really like Master Dai's gift. This is the first time I've seen this carp made like this. Someone came and sent the carp outside and took it out for everyone to see."
Take a look..."
Dai Zhou's face turned red with embarrassment and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Du Ruhui said: "Master Dai, we have been old friends for many years. Jin Yun is He'er's student. He'er should do all this. Why do you have to be polite? Well, since we are here, let's
