Liang Dazhong was surprised when he heard that Yang Ze had been demoted, but he also knew what was going on in the court officialdom now, as long as he could be promoted back in the future, Yang Ze would not have anything to complain about.

But Caicai didn't understand, she hurriedly said: "Imperial grandmother, why do you want to belittle Yang Ze's official, he didn't make a mistake, isn't it only those who make mistakes who will be demoted?" ”

Empress Dugu said with a smile: "Grandmother Huang, this is for Yang Ze's good, I want to give Yang Ze some experience, let him know what is called unpredictable, it will be good for his future career, as long as he manages Wannian County well, he will have an infinitely bright future in the future!" ”

"But what if he can't manage Wannian County?" Nana asked worriedly.

Empress Dugu's face sank, and she said: "Then what else do you want him to do, this kind of waste, living in the world is a waste of food, it's better to die, is it difficult to let his parents work hard to farm to feed him!" ”

"Yang Ze's family is a ...... who runs a pharmacy," Cai Cai argued for Yang Ze.

"That's better, find some poison at home and eat it cleaner! Okay, don't say any more, wait for an auspicious day in two days, I will take you to the garden, and introduce you to your relatives in Beijing. Empress Dugu said that, and let Caicai go back to sleep.

Caicai had no choice but to leave, still worried in his heart, Yang Ze was unlucky this time, he was demoted, he used to be a fifth grade, now he is a ninth grade, he was demoted to a fourth level, if he goes to Wannian County, his officials are bigger than his grade, then what should he do, so that he can't call others!

In fact, she miscalculated, the official grades of the Dafang Empire are not only a few grades, but each grade is divided into positive and subordinate, for example, the five-grade official has the difference between the positive and the five, and the positive and the subordinate, there are also upper and lower, so a grade has four levels, such as Yang Ze's previous grade. From the fifth grade, he is half a level older than the ram left from the fifth grade.

In this way, Yang Ze was demoted by seventeen levels, which can be described as a stroke to the end!

Caicai was very worried about him, and when she went down the steps, she was careless, and almost stepped on the air and fell, she screamed, held on to the pillar next to her, looked back, and saw that Empress Dugu was looking at herself with kind eyes. She hurriedly smiled back, and then stabilized her mind, left the main hall of Empress Dugu, and went to the side hall to rest.

Empress Dugu looked at Caicai's back lovingly, and thought: "This child is emotional, and I heard that Yang Ze was demoted, so I was a little upset, not bad, a child who values feelings." It's a good boy. Well, how to seal her, the county lord doesn't have to think about it, let's make her a princess. Let me think about a fiefdom, I can't wronged her! ”

Empress Dugu's will is not restricted by the palace gate, and it is on duty anyway, and Liang Dazhong took the opportunity to leave the palace. went to the post house where Yang Ze lived, he rode a tall horse and accompanied him with two little eunuchs. Arrived at the inn majestically.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the little eunuch shouted in a screaming voice: "The emperor has a decree, and Zhenxi County has ordered Yang Ze to accept the decree!" ”

There are special ventilation messengers in the post house, that is, people who specialize in running errands for officials, these people are resting in the gatehouse, as long as the officials have something, then give them a few money, they will help to run errands, the people who live in the post house are officials from other places, who are not familiar with life in the capital, spend money to hire them, and you can also save a lot of trouble!

These errand runners are the most familiar with the things in the capital, and the most discerning price, as soon as they heard someone outside, they knew that the business was coming, and looked outside, and saw that Liang Dazhong's clothes turned out to be a very high-grade eunuch in the palace, they were immediately overjoyed, this must be a good thing, if it is a bad thing, such as the dismissal, then it must be followed by the officers and soldiers, and if they didn't bring the soldiers, it was a happy event, at least it was not a sad or happy thing, it didn't matter, as long as it wasn't a bad thing, this reward would be obtained!

More than ten errand runners agreed in unison, and the girl ran to Yang Ze's residence, Yang Ze brought so many soldiers, who could not know where he lived!

Yang Ze had already fallen asleep at this time, he had been tossing since he entered Beijing, and he had long been exhausted, so he slept very early tonight, and he heard someone slamming the door outside, and many voices sounded together, he was startled, and secretly screamed badly, it is difficult for the princess to retaliate, she is so bold, she is pinched by me, and she dares to retaliate so arrogantly!

I heard someone outside shouting: "Good news to Lord Yang, someone in the palace has come to pass the decree, good thing, good thing, Lord Yang open the door quickly!" ”

Some people even had a clear attitude, and they coaxed very shamelessly: "Reward, reward!" ”

Everyone is working so hard, what is it to run to him desperately, isn't it just to ask for a reward, this kind of money is the best to get, as long as the official is happy, a bounty is down, sometimes they can earn for several days!

Yang Ze put on his clothes, opened the door, and said, "Someone is here to deliver the decree?" Where is it? ”

The errand runners said babblingly: "In the middle gate, please Lord Yang quickly change your clothes, and the little ones will prepare incense and candle copywriting for you, Lord Yang, you should go and receive the order!" "The attitude is very enthusiastic, more enthusiastic than Yang Ze's personal soldiers, and without Yang Ze's orders, everything for the order is ready, anyway, the incense candles and the bookcase are ready-made!

Yang Ze thought to himself: "It seems that I was ordered to be the county magistrate of Wannian, and Empress Dugu is really interesting, and she actually made the decree herself." But why did you come so quickly, or at night? Well, I understand, it's Caicai's side drum beating on the side, she pleases Empress Dugu and says good things to me, Empress Dugu loves her, so it's cheap for me! ”

He was naturally happy to be able to stay in Beijing as an official, and immediately went back to the house to change into official clothes, and strode to the front yard. At this time, Mu Gen and a group of pro-soldiers also knew about Xin'er, and they all watched from afar, everyone was excited, if Yang Ze was promoted, then they could also borrow light, maybe they could stay in Chang'an as an errand! Chang'an, this is the capital of the empire, if you can stay here as an errand, but the matter of honoring your ancestors will return to your hometown in the future...... Many people have begun to fantasize about what kind of clothes they will have to wear when they return to Zhenxi in the future!

Liang Dazhong stepped forward with a smile on his face, looked at Yang Ze, and thought: "Yang Xianzhu, you have cheated me, but you have also helped me, if you want to talk about it, I still owe you a favor, so I won't fall into the well tonight, but I can see your changing expression, I am still very willing!" ”

Not to mention anything else, Liang Dazhong asked Yang Ze to kneel, and he immediately began to recite the holy decree, which was very simple, that is, to serve as the county order of Wannian, and to be demoted. But after reading the good thing of the county order, he deliberately paused for a moment, did not read the words of demotion below, and then looked at Yang Ze!

Yang Ze really showed a happy expression on his face, and he was happy, of course he was happy, could he still cry, and besides, this could be regarded as being appreciated by Empress Dugu, so he was naturally grateful to Dade. Liang Dazhong looked at the people around him again, regardless of those soldiers or Mu Gen. And those errand runners, all of them are smiling, they all think they can be rewarded, right? It's good, we make you laugh and make you happy!

Liang Dazhong cleared his throat, read out the words of the downgrade, and finally dragged a long note and read: "Qin this!" ”

Yang Ze's face changed when he brushed the ground, and he could be upgraded back to a downgrade. This doesn't matter, but when he takes up a new position, he lowers his grade, isn't it a problem? He is a county magistrate, and his rank is lower than that of his subordinate officials, what will he do in the future? From the bottom of the nine pins? That's a petty official who has just entered the stream, so small that he can't be smaller. No matter how young you are, you will be an official, no longer called an official, there is no smaller official than from the ninth grade!

The faces of Mugen and his soldiers also changed. Mugen almost didn't cry, why did the master go back more and more, what is it from Jiupinxia, the kind of petty official who takes a group of errands to the countryside to collect grain and scare the people?

Those errand runners are also stupid, what's going on, they have already inquired clearly, Yang Ze, an official, has been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple before, from the official of the fifth grade, and now he has come down from the ninth grade, and has dropped seventeen or eight levels all of a sudden, their reward is going to be in vain, and they are busy in vain, this is the middle of the night, tossing people!

Liang Dazhong dragged a long voice again, and said, "Yang Ze, don't hurry up and thank you!" ”

Yang Ze had no choice but to thank him, took the holy decree, he got up, looked at Liang Dazhong's gloating face, and said: "Manager Liang, you are now proud of the spring breeze, and you have been promoted to the real chief manager, right?" ”

Liang Dazhong laughed dryly twice, and said: "Today, Ji Shunzhong officially went home to recuperate, and our family took over his position, and the responsibility is heavy, and our family is afraid that we will not be able to do it!" ”

"Then did you speak ill of the official in front of the emperor, so you downgraded the rank of the official? It has to be you! Yang Ze glared.

"No, no, this is a wrongful offense to our family!" Liang Dazhong was taken aback, what a rich association, how can it be blamed on my head, he hurriedly said: "Lord Yang, you have been demoted, our family is sad, really...... Even if someone says something bad, it's not our family, we don't have a grudge, we still have our own people! ”

Yang Ze hummed and said, "Okay, then you remember to owe me a favor, and remember to pay it back later!" ”

"Okay, it must be ...... Uh, when did our family owe you a favor! Liang Dazhong couldn't cry or laugh.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion.

The eldest princess came back from the palace, sitting in her study, her daughter and son-in-law were there, there were only three of them in the study, they were talking about Caicai, from the perspective of threat, Caicai's threat was even greater, because she was by the side of the Dugu Empress, and there was a great sign of replacing the position of the eldest princess.

While he was talking, suddenly someone from outside came to report, saying that the person who was monitoring the post house came back to report that Yang Ze had been appointed as the county commander of Wannian County, but the grade was downgraded to below the ninth grade.

Dugu Baoqiao listened and said: "Mother-in-law, this is the emperor who is testing Yang Ze, if in this case, if he can still be the county commander, then won't he be reused in the future." ”

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Then you can't let him be the county magistrate properly." You have to think of a way to get him into trouble as soon as possible, the bigger the mistake, the better, you have to think of a way! ”

Dugu Baoqiao pondered for a while, and said: "If taxes are collected and the people are secured, it will take time for things to go wrong, and he can also be pushed to the head of the previous county commander, it is not good to kill him......"

Princess Yinggui worried: "Then what should I do, just watch him arrogant?" ”

Dugu Baoqiao thought for a while and said: "Use the case to kill him, find someone to make a trap, as long as he is trapped, no need to fall deep, as long as he is trapped, we can strangle him!" He hates Yang Ze so much now that his teeth hurt, but he can't think of any good cases.

Case? That is to let Yang Fa try the wrong case, this method works quickly, a case is out, and the case is overturned even with trial, I am afraid that it will not take ten days to get Yang Ze down, other methods are slow, this method is the fastest, and as long as Yang Ze makes a mistake, the eldest princess will exert another force, then when Yang Ze is desperate...... Isn't it easy to do everything? (To be continued......)
