PS: Xie 龗谢じ☆ve →Sheji's monthly pass has a reward for a very salty fish, to be honest, looking at the ticket and the reward, the code word is also pleasant~

Two days before the wedding, a holy decree forced the prospective groom Liu Yuan to pull him from Qinghe to Chang'an, and made meritorious contributions, guilt and the face of Qinghe Cui's family, Li Er took the initiative to promise to give Liu Yuan an official position and reward a meritorious name, but because of his background, he delayed again and again, and it was far from being as refreshing as giving the shops in the West Market.

Because of the excellent effect of fundraising, Cui Shang hinted at Liu Yuan's labor, and under Li Er's interrogation, Liu Yuan's official position was finally implemented.

I just don't know what rank or position.

"Big brother, have you received the news, how many products are you given? What position? Cui Jing asked curiously.

Recently, he has been busy with the preparations for the Daming Palace, and he has to match Liu Yuan's lottery career, Cui Jing has not known much about the dynamics of the court recently, and the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is too obvious, and sometimes he has to avoid suspicion.

Cui Shang shook his head and said: "I have made military merits, but I haven't seen results yet, and my life experience is also a stain, it seems that there is a controversy around whether it is under the seventh grade or under the seventh grade, don't expect too much." ”

"Hey, it must be the old dog surnamed Wang in Shanxi who is making trouble, it's really ridiculous, the seven-grade sesame official has dragged on for so long, and it really gives us Qinghe Cui's face." Cui Jing said with an unhappy face.

Qinghe Cui clan and Shanxi Wang clan due to the conflict of interests, recently quite a-for-tat feeling, in many affairs, the original secret fight has become a tendency to open contention, Qinghe Cui clan is prominent, six departments of the Ministry of Industry and household by their control, but Shanxi Wang also let a lot, firmly pinched the official promotion of the ministry, so the two families fought very hard.

"Hmph, no one is good for a hundred days, and no flower is red for a hundred days" Cui Shang said lightly: "Take it easy." It's a long time coming. ”

Cui Jing nodded and said, "It's okay, after the official position comes down, it is also conducive to management, I heard that the candidates over there have been selected." ”

Liu Yuan took over the shop and secretly trained for the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Jing and Cui Shang both knew about it.

What a conspiracy!

Seeing Cui Jingyi gritting his teeth when he mentioned the Wang clan in Shanxi, Liu Yuan knew that this was Li Er's imperial technique, throwing out a little equity and grabbing it. Secretly dividing them, looking for opportunities to weaken these famous families, and entering the royal family to further consolidate power, now it seems that the effect is good.

Since ancient times. Rabbits and dead dogs cook, birds hide their bows, the emperor's house likes to do the most. The family fights the world together. After the Li family in Longxi sat down, the Shi clan became the royal family, so naturally he didn't want to sit on an equal footing with those Shi clans, after Tang Gaozong became the emperor, he went back to the province, and the Li clan patriarch dared to close the door; When arranging the order of the family. The Ministry of Rites is still used to ranking Qinghe Cui's in the first place, and Li Er lost his temper after the worst, saying that Li became the emperor, and there was no reason to rank after Cui's. That's just a moment of doing the first.

From these stories, it can be seen that with the support of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the strength of the scholars is great, and it can also be seen that the emperor is worried about the scholars.

Liu Yuan thought about whether to tell his father-in-law about this, but after thinking about it, forget it, the matter of cutting power, can only boil frogs in warm water, he remembers, it seems that after the late Tang Dynasty carved in addition to the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, this family slowly withdrew from the stage of history, and now the border is not leveled, the four Yi have not been served, and the royal family still needs the support of the family.

Besides, you Cui Shang is an official oilman, can you not see through, perhaps, people are rare and confused, as long as it does not hurt the origin, the emperor likes to watch whatever drama he wants, he will act for him, and they are all human spirits.

The three of them said a few words, and after the last time, Liu Yuan and Cui Jing went back to the house to receive the holy decree, but Cui Shang couldn't leave.

He had to plan how to make a good fortune in the lottery within three months.

Half an hour later, Liu Yuan and the people of Cui's Mansion, who had changed their clothes and burned incense and cleaned their hands, knelt on top of the main hall, and a eunuch who came out of the palace was reading out a holy decree:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor called and said, Yangzhou Liu Yuan, erudite and talented, loyal and patriotic, although a white body, with a patriotic heart, dedicated to the strategy of leveling the enemy, brilliant achievements, now specially named Zhaowu Lieutenant, Yun Wupin official uniform, wear a silver fish bag, Qin this!"

"Thank you, Lord Long." Liu Yuan, Cui Jing, and a housekeeper who listened to the order in the hall hurriedly knelt down to thank the saint.

"Everyone, please get up, our family can't afford it." The eunuch who read the decree hurriedly asked everyone to get up.

This is not an ordinary family, but a dignified Cui Mansion, and there is no way that he is a little eunuch who shows off his power here.

"Captain, please take it." The eunuch who smiled like a flower said to Liu Yuan with a flattering face, and handed the holy decree to Liu Yuan with both hands.

Captain Zhaowu belongs to the sixth-grade upper rank, far more noble than his seventh-grade eunuch, and the sixth-grade official is specially allowed to wear the five-grade official uniform and also wear a silverfish bag, which is all used to cross the level, and it can be seen from here that the emperor attaches great importance to Liu Yuan.

It can definitely be said that the emperor's grace is mighty.

"There is Father-in-law." Liu Yuan took the holy decree with an excited face, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

It's not easy, from a lowly businessman, first smoothly got out of business as a soldier, did not go to the battlefield, did not enter the examination room, and took the official position of a captain in one fell swoop, it is definitely a step to the sky, although compared with those big bosses such as Taishi, Taifu, and Taiwei, it is simply an ant-like existence, but it can be said to be very happy to be a servant as soon as you enter the official door, and then slowly climb up.

Holding the heavy holy decree, Liu Yuan had a feeling of joy descending from the sky: Brother is also an official.

This holy decree is still very beautiful, the yellow auspicious cloud silk, the black scroll, it looks different, Liu Yuan has planned to collect it, maybe in the future, it will be a precious cultural relic, and when the descendants are not angry, they can also auction a few small money to help make up for it.

The holy decree is the display and symbol of the power of the ancient Chinese emperors, and the texture of its shaft handle is different according to the grade of the official, and it is strictly different: the first product is the jade shaft, the second product is the black rhinoceros horn shaft, the third product is the gold shaft, the fourth and fifth grades are the black horn shaft, and the material of the decree is very exquisite, all of them are silk brocade fabrics made of fine silk, and the patterns are mostly auspicious clouds and cranes, which are magnificent. At both ends of the decree are silver dragons flying as security symbols. As a clerical order issued by the emperors of the past dynasties and an edict or edict issued by a meritorious official or a knighthood, the richer the color of the decree, the higher the rank of the official receiving the gift.

Seal the six officials, with a black bull scroll. It's also an honor.

"Ah Fu, reward, by the way, I took my father-in-law to use a snack before sending it out of the house." Liu Yuan has a fame, his daughter doesn't have to marry a white body, Cui Jing has a light on his face, and he is also in a good mood, he usually doesn't like eunuchs, so he opened his mouth to give a reward.

"Yes, sir."

Father-in-law's face showed a flattering look, and the old face smiled and frowned. Like a chrysanthemum, he saluted Cui Jing again and again: "Lord Xie Shangshu, Cui Shangshu is so compassionate, our family is flattered." ”

After the politeness was over, the happy father-in-law was taken by the housekeeper Cui Afu to receive the reward and food. Cui Jing was in a good mood: "I'll come out, there's no need to hide." Haha"

Cui Mengyao?

Liu Yuan subconsciously looked at the screen. Sure enough, under the screen, I faintly saw a corner of the white dress, needless to say, when the holy decree was read, Cui Mengyao hid behind the screen and eavesdropped.

"Dad" Cui Mengyao snorted. A little shy walked out from behind the screen, and as soon as he touched Liu Yuan's hot gaze, he immediately lowered his head in a panic and moved the lotus step lightly. Xiao Xiaobu came to Cui Jing and Liu Yuan, I don't know if I was a little embarrassed, and the roots of my ears were a little red.

"Why do you say it, my daughter just wants to sneak a peek at the excitement." His future husband was awarded the official accumulation (in the Tang Dynasty, for officials above the third grade, "canonized"; Officials above the fifth rank use "system award", and officials below the sixth rank use "edict"), as a wife, naturally want to witness his demeanor, Liu Yuan didn't find out, he didn't expect to let his father break it, Cui Mengyao was really a little embarrassed.

Now every day of waiting, it is sweet and a little bitter, but every day seeing Liu Yuan is improving, Cui Mengyao is still full of joy.

Seeing his daughter behaving like this, Cui Jing felt the pride and joy of being a father, and laughed at his daughter and said, "It's all a family, why are you shy?" ”

Liu Yuan took the holy decree and opened the topic with a smile on his face: "Meng Yao, I haven't seen you for some days, and you have cleared it again." ”

I wanted to say that I didn't see him for a day, such as every three autumns, but Cui Jing's old boy was here, and Liu Yuan was embarrassed to say something like that. 、

"You, you too, pay more attention to your body outside, and congratulations on becoming a captain." After the shyness, Cui Mengyao said generously.

"Thank you." Liu Yuan said with a smile: "I heard that this official seal is still quite a lot of twists and turns, but fortunately, those officials didn't let me wait too long, and I have to thank my father-in-law for this, if it wasn't for his contribution, maybe it wouldn't have gone so well." ”

Find an opportunity to put on a high hat for Cui Jing's old boy and make a good relationship, to be honest, it's not cool to see him with a cold face.

Cui Jing shook his head and said: "I avoided suspicion in this matter, I didn't make any efforts, as for the Tian Shenu in the Ministry of Officials, I don't need to thank them, I burned high incense without stumbling, which was sealed by the emperor himself." ”

"Dad, how do you know the way?" Cui Mengyao said curiously.

"If it is those people in the ministry, they will do things in a decent manner, and they will never exceed the system, but you see, the six grades of the seal are on the upper ranks, and they are allowed to wear the five-grade crimson official uniform, and they wear the silverfish bags that only the five grades have, and even the holy decree is the black horn shaft of the five grades, which is obviously overstepping, that is, the emperor has this power." Cui Jing said happily: "The emperor finally gave us a few thin noodles for our Qinghe Cui family. ”

Liu Yuan was secretly glad in his heart, the six pins were wearing dark green official uniforms, like that, they looked like a frog at first glance, purple clothes were expensive, and the crimson official uniforms were much more majestic than dark green, and in Chang'an, where there were many princes like dogs and nobles walking all over the place, they were embarrassed to go out on the street in dark green official uniforms.

However, when it comes to real merits, these are still low, offering ideas to break the curse, offering art training, enriching the treasury, offering lottery tickets to benefit the people's livelihood and promoting taxes, all of which are very practical things, and now they are just a petty official of six grades, for Li Er, this business is really profitable.

Cui Jing suddenly said, "Xiaoyuan, let's prepare a fishtail feast." ”

And at this moment, thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, Huang Gonggong, who had just finished reading the holy decree, also stuffed the rolled up holy finger into the hands of Du Sanniang, who was trembling all over his body and burst into tears, and then said to the people who knelt down and couldn't believe it:

"Everyone, please get up, by the way, two little ladies, there are two family letters here that Liu Xiaolangjun entrusted me to transfer to you, well, you hurry up and prepare, our family will have to go back to Beijing early the day after tomorrow at the latest." (To be continued.) )
