"The prefect of Hangzhou is solemn and solemn, with excellent talents, good governance, and good reputation. This time, he can help suppress bandits and serve as a model for my Dazhou officials. If all the officials of our Great Zhou Dynasty are solemn and solemn, the world will be peaceful and the people will be happy. I will reward money and silk for this purpose, and the merits of this battle will be recorded in the performance evaluation, and the term of office will expire in September, and it will be used for parallel reference and additional use. ”

Yan Zhengsu kowtowed and said in a deep voice: "Long live, long live!" ”

Although the reward for Yan Zhengsu is not clear, everyone understands in their hearts that Yan Zhengsu will benefit from this matter. The meaning of the sentence that the term of office will be increased is actually very clear, Yan Zhengsu is about to be promoted, and it is likely to be a big official.

"The chief and deputy commander of the Ning Navy and a cadre of soldiers, this time the bandits are heroic, and the enemy is meritorious. I have instructed the Privy Council to prepare a commendation order to give him a heavy award. All the meritorious soldiers in this battle were doubly rewarded, and the dead and wounded soldiers were given generous mercy. ”

Song Yanping and Wang Kai shouted thanks. I was all happy in my heart, and it was a foregone conclusion that I would be crowned with an official and become a knight.

In this battle, Lin Juejin, a common man in Hangzhou, offered good strategies and participated in the suppression of bandits, and cooperated with the officers and soldiers to break the enemy's bandits' nest. There are good talents in the wilderness, and there are righteous people in the people, which is the image of the prosperity of my Great Zhou Dynasty. I specially inscribed the plaque of the 'House of Loyalty' of the Lin family in Hangzhou, commending the name of Lin Jue's righteous warrior and giving a horse, accompanied by the officials of Hangzhou to travel around the city, so that the people of Hangzhou can praise his loyalty and bravery. In addition, Lin Jue was rewarded with 200,000 yuan and 100 silk horses. I heard that Lin Juezheng was studying for the exam, and I also granted Lin Jue the qualification of Chunqiu, so he did not have to participate in the selection of Qiuqiu. ”

Everyone was shocked, and the reward for Lin Jue seemed to be nothing, but it was actually very rich. The plaque given by the saint to the Lin family's loyal and righteous home, this alone is enough to make people red-eyed. As soon as this plaque was hung, the Lin family could walk sideways in Hangzhou from now on. What's more, he was also named by Lin Jueyi, and it was a great honor to let Hangzhou officials accompany him to ride horses and hairpins on the streets. Who in the Great Zhou Dynasty had the privilege of riding a hairpin on horseback? That's the kind of treatment that only the champion has to offer.

The most practical reward is the last few sentences that seem to be inadvertent. The difficulty of the imperial examination in the Great Zhou Dynasty is well known. Many famous people in the world have been planted on the path of the imperial examination, and more people have died in the autumn festival.

The Great Zhou Dynasty Imperial Examination was held every three years, and the Autumn Examination was commonly known, but it was actually the qualification screening of various organizations, also known as the Township Examination. The name of the head in the test is Xie Yuan. If you win the township examination, you will be eligible to participate in the spring examination of the Ministry of Rites. And this level is actually the saddest. According to the statistics of people with a heart, in the township examination, the students who participated in the Jinshi imperial examination have three percent of the final gold list titles. In the first level, only one percent of the students can obtain the qualification. The fierce competition in the township test can be seen.

This is of course because of the large number of participants at this level of the township test, and also because the level of the township test is the most stringent. In order to have more people from all walks of life in the Great Zhou Dynasty be admitted to the Jinshi, the township examination is extremely strictly controlled. At that time, a record 119 students on Qiandong Road broke into the second level, and as a result, their heads were shaved in the Jinshi examination, which became a joke in the world. Since then, the township examination has been extremely strictly controlled, and even people who would rather give up their places than take people who are indiscriminate.

Liangzhejiang Road has a strong style of learning and is the best in the world. There are thousands of dragons and crouching tigers here. However, the number of tribute students is limited. Therefore, for Liangzhejiang Road, what is worried is not the quality of Gongsheng, but the limitation of this quota. Many people are not without talent, but there are many talents, and the good ones are replaced by better ones, which is the drawback of the imperial examination in this dynasty, and it is also a helpless thing.

Therefore, the qualification to pass the township examination directly is more precious than gold, which is something that cannot be bought with money. Especially in Liangzhejiang Road, it is unusually expensive. And what the Holy God gave Lin Jue was this qualification that was more precious than gold.

Almost everyone thought that the reward for Lin Jue was already very generous. is not only famous but also beneficial, and the Lin family has also won great honors, which is already the limit for a common person.

Almost everyone thought that Lin Jue would be grateful, crying out and shouting long live thanksgiving. However, Lin Jue's performance surprised them very much. Not only did Lin Jue not burst into tears, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was very dissatisfied with the reward of the holy decree.

"Thank you, why are you still stunned?" Lin Boyong, who was kneeling on the side, reminded angrily.

Lin Jue was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Grass people Lin Jue thank the saint Longen. ”

This time, even Lin Bonian frowned, Lin Jue's tone was reluctant, and there was no joy in it, as if he had been wronged. Originally, he had a great impression of Lin Jue, and when he came back this time, he also thought that he could cultivate this three-room concubine well, and maybe he could become a rising star of the Lin family, but Lin Bonian suddenly found that he seemed to be wishful thinking.

Lin Bonian adjusted his mood and continued to proclaim: "In addition to the above-mentioned meritorious people, the military and people of Hangzhou have worked together to provide many conveniences in this anti-bandit operation. I have heard all these things. I allow Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu to properly handle rewards and punishments on behalf of me, and all meritorious people, merchants and ordinary people who assist in the suppression of bandits, Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu can reward and reward on behalf of me. I hope that you will continue to make persistent efforts to take the opportunity to eliminate the remnants of the bandits and completely solve the problem of the bandits, and I am waiting for your good news. Chin this! ”

"Long live the saints, long live!" All the officials, soldiers and civilians knelt on the ground and shouted, bowing and standing up.

Lin Bonian put away the holy decree, the serious expression on his face was gone, and he put on a kind smile again.

"Lord Wang, Lord Yan, come and receive the order."

Yan Zhengsu smiled and said, "The prince will wait for the order on my behalf." ”

Guo Bing smiled: "Then the king is not humble. Guo Bing bowed forward, and on behalf of the officials in Hangzhou, he took the brocade box containing the holy decree and handed it over to a special person for safekeeping.

"Okay, business is done, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Lin Bonian said with a smile.

"Hard work, Lord Qincha has worked all the way, and the king has set up a banquet in the warm wind building by the West Lake, and washed the dust for Lord Qincha. Please also enjoy the light. Guo Bing said with a smile.

Lin Bonian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "How dare you, how can this be good?" ”

Guo Bing smiled: "Then why don't you dare?" Lord Qincha should have to come to Hangzhou for a few days this time, after all, he hasn't come back for more than ten years, and the Holy Lord can give him some vacation? ”

Lin Bonian smiled and said: "It's still the prince who understands the saint and knows that the saint is benevolent. When the saint learned that I had not returned to Hangzhou for more than ten years, he specially granted me a half-month vacation. The officials are a little embarrassed, isn't this a fake public benefit? Hahaha. ”

Guo Bing said with a smile: "What I said is a degree of relaxation." The saint is sympathetic to the people below, that is the emperor's grace. Lord Qincha has not returned to his hometown for ten years, and the saint's move is even more concerned about human feelings. You can rest assured in Hangzhou to have a good vacation, this king will take you around Hangzhou, let you see the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, eat all the food in Hangzhou. ”

Lin Bonian squinted and smiled: "The prince seems to have forgotten, I am from Hangzhou, I have been in Hangzhou since I was a child, and my brother and nephews are in Hangzhou." They saw me as an outsider, hahaha. ”

Guo Bing was stunned for a moment, slapped his forehead with his hand and laughed: "Look at my brain, aren't you confused?" Isn't Lord Qincha from Hangzhou? This king is actually a foreigner. I, a foreigner, want to show off to my native Hangzhou, isn't it a joke? Hahaha. ”

The officials burst into laughter, and Lord Qincha and the prince seemed to be in love, talking and laughing, and they were familiar at first sight. People from officialdom are really familiar. In fact, there was little intersection between the two before, or Lin Bonian couldn't climb at all, but now, it seems like an old friend for many years.

In comparison, it was Yan Zhengsu who stood aside and looked out of place. Of course, he doesn't bother to talk to people and say innocuous nonsense. If it weren't for Lin Bonian's identity as a messenger, he would have to be accompanied by the order as the prefect of Hangzhou, and I am afraid that he would have left long ago.

At that moment, Guo Bing ordered the car to come and invited Lin Bonian to get in the car and go to the restaurant on the shore of the West Lake for a banquet. A group of chariots and horses marched to the outside of Yongjin Gate. The warm wind building has already been contracted by the prince, and the shopkeepers in the building have been waiting for it for a long time. As soon as everyone arrived, they were immediately introduced to the second floor, and when the fragrant tea was served, the singing and dancing red cards specially called from Wanhualou and Qunfang Pavilion began to play the pipa and sing a small song. The graceful dance also started.

Outside the window is the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, which is as green as jade, the lotus leaves on the lake are blue and the lotus flowers are red. The weeping willows on the shore are like waists, dancing with the wind. The building is melodious and graceful. This situation made Lin Bonian feel happy. In the capital, he is just a small character, and he also maintains the habit of restraining his words and deeds. Even if he married a sixteen-year-old concubine last year, he didn't dare to make a big deal, but just secretly did a happy event in a small area. He never dreamed of such a situation.

And now, everything in front of him is like a dream, and it was prepared by King Liang himself, which made Lin Bonian a little fluttery.

But after all, Lin Bonian has been rolling in officialdom for many years, and soon admonished himself to be self-disciplined. His eyes were also retracted from the towering chests and long legs of the dancing girls, and he began to talk and laugh with everyone in the seat.

Not long after, when the banquet was set up and the banquet was about to begin, everyone suddenly found that there was no one on the table, and Lin Jue did not follow.

"Hey, what about Lin Jue?" Lin Bonian asked.

Lin Bonian asked, and everyone suddenly realized that Lin Jue was not here. There was a lot of commotion when he got in the car just now, and no one cared that Lin Jueshang didn't get in the car and came.

"Maybe down there, order someone to look for it." Lin Boyong said. The two attendants hurriedly went downstairs to look for it, but after looking for a long time, they came up and reported that they didn't see Lin Juegongzi.

There was some displeasure in everyone's hearts. Lin Bonian said with a smile: "There is something delayed, let's wait for him a little, Lord Wang, Lord Yan, what do you adults think?" ”

"Wait for him, after all, today is also a good day for him to be rewarded by the Holy Heavens, and it is not good without him." Solemn and solemn.

So they sat down at the feast, chatting and waiting. I drank three or four cups of tea, and listened to three or four songs, but Lin Jue had no shadow at all. It seems that Lin Jue is unlikely to come.

Lin Bonian's face sank. Not to mention that he is the identity of the Qincha, just because he is his second uncle, he has not returned to his hometown for ten years, and his nephew should also be by his side. How did he leave quietly, this is disrespectful to himself.

Not only Lin Bonian, but also more than a dozen officials present felt very unhappy. Although this Lin Jue was rewarded by the holy decree, after all, he was just a flat-headed commoner, and he was the son of the Lin family. No matter how capable you are, you can't ignore everyone and do your own thing. Such a bunch of people are waiting for him here, and this Lin Jue is too ignorant.
