Seeing the wild Taoist go to call for help, Su Ziji waited quietly, staring at the bright moon, with emotion in his heart: "It's a big wave of gold mining, now I know the meaning of the sages."
There is no absolute loyalty in this world. It is all found out through trials and tests. In fact, the process is all about trial and trial, until the variables are gradually eliminated.
For society, cutting out variables is a stagnant pool of water, but for organizations and superior officials, cutting out variables is a lifelong goal.
Whether it’s politics, machinations, or even morality, it’s all about reducing variables.
King Xiang of Chu was visiting the palace of Lantai, and Song Yujing sent his attendants. A sudden wind came, and the king said: "What a great wind! Is it wrong for me to share this with the common people?"
Song Yu said to him: "This is the king's unique style, and the common people can share it with ease!"
The connotation is profound, or can it be far-fetched?
Just then I thought, the sound of footsteps came, and six or seven people filed in and bowed down together.
"I've met the king!"
"Lord!"
"Okay, let's all get back together. There are no outsiders here. Let's get up." Su Ziji waved his hand with a smile on his face, and then several people got up.
Su Ziji didn't waste any time and said directly: "What happened last night shows that you are dedicated. You all see it in your eyes, and you will be rewarded for your merits. Sun Ping will obey your orders."
"Sun Ping is here." Sun Ping hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Sun Ping, I will order you to serve as the captain of the palace again."
"I obey the king's order." Although Sun Ping is old, he just watched a farce and suddenly realized that the current prince's palace is not the prince's palace, and he really cannot "give way to the wise", so he responded loudly.
"Sun Dacheng, Sun Ercheng listen to the order."
"Here!" Sun Ping's eldest son and second son came out.
Su Ziji looked at them and was very satisfied.
"Sun Dacheng, I have ordered you to be the captain of the team. You will know which one you will be when the order comes down."
"Yes!" Sun Dacheng agreed happily.
He was promoted to team leader all of a sudden, and he had a meteoric rise in the government. He had reached the sky in one step. How could he not be happy?
"Sun Ercheng, you are physically weaker, but you can read and do arithmetic. From now on, you will be a steward and be in charge of Gu's private treasury."
"Yes!" Sun Ercheng also happily accepted the order.
Sun Ping stood aside at this time, as if he had something to say, but he held back. Su Ziji did not ask, but looked at Qin Ying.
"Qin Ying, I think you are very good. From today on, you will be promoted from deputy to full."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Su Ziji looked at Bo Yan and Luo Jiang again.
Bo Yan and Luo Jiang's moods were particularly complicated. They didn't know whether they should expect to be promoted or not.
Then I heard King Dai speak again: "Bo Yan is calm in his work, Gudu sees it, Gu promotes you to be the leader of the team, and you will work with Qin Ying and Sun Dacheng in the future. The three teams will support each other and jointly guard the palace."
"Bo Yan takes the order!" Bo Yan stepped forward and saluted.
Only then did Su Ziji look at Luo Jiang.
This girl has outstanding swordsmanship. Although her origins are questionable, she did tend to favor him during this period, especially on the night of the siege, when she also appeared in the main courtyard.
No matter what her purpose was at that time, at least she stood up.
This woman may be useful. As for loyalty, she is the same as Bo Yan. We will talk about it later. Su Ziji's eyes were dark, but he said: "Luo Jiang, you have outstanding swordsmanship and do things properly. Before, you were only a teacher in the palace.
Now I ask you to be the ninth-rank female official in the palace, are you willing?"
There can be female officials in the prince's residence, usually between the ninth and eighth grades, serving the princess.
But for whom to work, it is actually just a convention, there is no explicit rule that female officials are not allowed to work for the prince.
Su Ziji now took advantage of this loophole and directly gave Luo Jiang the rank of female official of the ninth rank.
Luo Jiang came out of the queue and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"In addition, each person will be rewarded with another ten taels of gold!"
"Your Majesty..." Sun Pingping waited until Su Ziji finished speaking, and then stood up again.
"Sun Fuwei, do you have something to say?" Su Ziji looked over.
Sun Ping said solemnly: "The king has a destiny, how dare I refuse and live up to my great kindness. It's just that I am old and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as a captain for a long time. I hope the king will take precautions and make arrangements as soon as possible..."
There are people who are trustworthy, but there are also people who are loyal and diligent. Su Ziji's heart moved and he was a little moved. At this time, he stood up and slowly walked down. He walked to Sun Ping's side, patted his shoulder and sighed: "But I really don't have one now."
Those who are available, you also saw what happened last night."
Yes, it was precisely because I saw it that I became more and more angry.
Everyone in the mansion has been favored by the prince, but at the critical moment, they were the only ones to step forward to protect him. This is such a chilling thing!
Sun Ping was silent for a while, then respectfully saluted Su Ziji: "That humble minister will die before you."
Others also bowed down together and said in unison: "I will die soon."
Bo Yan stood up and pressed the sword against the guard, feeling complicated in his heart: "I didn't expect that I would have such an experience after coming to the capital."
"Originally I just took an errand and sneaked into Prince Dai's palace, but Prince Dai treated me kindly and promoted me to a ninth-grade military attache. Where will I go from now on?"
"Although I passed through Mr. Wen's network last time and killed Bolan, the grandson of King Qi, and submitted a certificate, there is no way out, but it is still a stain. If the king thinks of it..."
Regardless of Bo Yan's mood, it was difficult for Luo Jiang to remain calm. As soon as he lowered his head, all the past events flowed before his eyes.
Luo Jiang's family originally worked for the royal family. Her mother's lifelong dream was to have a female position. However, she had done so many things and made so many contributions in the Imperial City Department, but in the end she was still a white person, but she was the acting king.
First he saved my mother, and then he treated me like this. I must do my best and die, right?
But why, there is always a slight tingling in my heart, what if I have lost something?
Before Luo Jiang could think about it, someone walked in quickly.
"Report! Your Majesty, there is a will, and the angel has entered the door!"
Is there another imperial edict?
There was a commotion last night, and now there is an imperial edict. Even the wild Taoists frowned slightly.
Only Su Ziji stood, with a calm expression, and said calmly: "Go down and set up the incense table. Let the angels wait for a while. I will change my clothes and come back."
When I changed my court robe and came out, my gastrodia was bright and my belly was white from the east. I guessed it was already midnight.
Everyone was a little surprised, even if the king was there, they were a little frightened. When the group looked at it, they saw Eunuch Zhao with a smile on his face standing on top of the incense table, facing south.
Su Ziji hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Sun Chen respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing!"
"Holy greetings." Eunuch Zhao said with a smile: "On behalf of the king, this is the emperor's oral order!"
"The Emperor said that I heard that Princess Dai gave birth to a heir, which is a great joy for the clan. I will reward you with a jade pendant for the king, and a hundred pieces of palace silk for the princess. When the lunar month comes, I and the queen will come to the mansion, and there will be a heavy reward."
The oral instructions are very simple. These two sentences express the emperor's joy at the birth of his young prince. The latter sentence is the key point, indicating that when the full moon comes, the emperor and his empress will go to the prince's palace to congratulate him.
"Sun Chen is scared, thank you!" Su Ziji frowned slightly after hearing this, but when he stood up, he already relaxed his brows and accepted the instructions.
