Chapter 118: Become an official

"Brother, this is what Lord Shen said when he arrived in Chang'an and went to the East Palace. When the prince heard that you were in trouble, he rushed to come. We arrived yesterday, just to see the situation before talking about it." Chen Zairong was very excited and kept praising Chen Wanrong: "Brother, we know everything about you in prison. Brother, you are really good, you have such a good relationship."

Yesterday, the main thing was to repair Hua Sanque. Although Chen Wanrong did not take it personally, he could not escape the relationship. Since the prince knew about it, Wu Xiaomin and the others could not escape his blame. Chen Wanrong said worriedly: "Aren't those prisoners punished?"

"Brother, don't worry, this is fine. Which cell doesn't have such a thing? Beating people is a very common thing. Besides, Hua Sanque was also responsible for his own fault." Chen Zairong comforted.

That being said, maybe Chen Que knew this bad habit, so he turned a blind eye to it, just to improve their living conditions and not interfere with it. However, since it was caused, he had to pursue it. Chen Wanrong was still worried, but he was unwilling to involve it anymore. He said gratefully: "Mr. Shen is so enthusiastic! If the prince wants to save me, he just needs to send someone, and there is no need to go there."

Chen Zairong smiled even happier: "Brother, do you know? Even the emperor was alarmed. It was the emperor who asked the prince to come."

Just a little thing happened that actually alarmed Ruizong. Chen Wanrong couldn't imagine that, and blurted out, "Really?"

This matter is quite tortuous. If you don’t explain it clearly, Chen Wanrong must be confused. Chen Zairong had to explain again: "Brother, this is what Princess Jinxian said. When Lord Shen reported to the prince, Princess Jinxian happened to be there. When he returned to the palace to tell the emperor, the emperor asked the prince to come. Brother, do you know who Princess Jinxian is?"

Of course, Chen Wanrong didn't know about the matter of golden branches and jade leaves. He shook his head and said, "How could I know."

"Brother, I won't say it for now, you will understand." Chen Zairong rarely kept it in silence, and his surprise was still unabashed: "Do you know? Since you prescribed the prescription, the emperor has eaten according to the method you said. Now the dragon body has become much healthier, and he is much more energetic than when we first met. This time the emperor called the prince to come, not only for this, but also for other things."

What Ruizong personally told must be a big deal. Chen Wanrong was curious and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

"Brother, I can't say it now, I'll know later." Chen Zairong kept it in hiding.

He said it well, but it actually made people feel enticed. Chen Wanrong was not angry: "If you like to talk or not."

Chen Zairong didn't care: "Brother, this is a rule, I can't say it in advance."

When Chen Laoshi and his wife saw each other talking endlessly when they met, they couldn't help it. When they walked up, Chen Laoshi took Chen Zairong's hand and said, "Zairong, let's go home."

I haven't been home for many days, and Chen Zairong really wants to go back and see you. However, he is now the person around the prince and should be with him and explained: "Dad, mother, brother, you guys go back first. I'll come back to see you when the matter here is handled."

Chen Laoshi's face sank, very unhappy: "How did this kid say? He has arrived at the doorstep and hasn't gone back to check it out. Does this make sense?"

Chen Wanrong understood Chen Zairong's difficulties and exonerated him with a smile: "Dad, don't blame Zairong. He is public first and then private, and he has to wait for the orders by the prince."

Chen Wang understood that although he was reluctant to leave, his son's future was even more important. He pulled Chen honestly: "Old man, business matters are important. No matter how glorious you are, after finishing your work, come back and see, I will make delicious food for you."

The food she cooked was definitely not as good as the food in the East Palace, but the food made by the loving mother was the most fragrant, and Chen Zairong was extremely happy: "Mom, I understand."

Chen and his wife bid farewell to each other. Chen Wanrong pulled Qing and left the county government office and went home.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a sound of surprise: "The boss is back! The boss is back!" The hired workers gathered around, surrounded Chen Wanrong in the middle, and congratulated them in their simple words. Although the words were simple, they had sincere feelings, and there were even a few people who couldn't help but wipe their tears.

Looking at the hired worker who showed his true feelings, Chen Wanrong was very moved, and bowed in a group of fists and said, "Dear uncles, brothers, sisters: Chen Wanrong thanks you!"

"Boss, don't!" The hired workers dared not accept it, so they hurriedly refused.

Chen Wanrong raised the door and said, "I'm fine, it's great! You guys go and do it." Only then did the hired workers get back on their jobs.

As soon as he entered the room, Chen honestly pulled Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, you have suffered, sit down and rest."

Chen Wanrong sat in prison very comfortably. Not only did he eat and drink, but he could also wash. This is the treatment that prisoners do not have, so he suffered. He smiled and said, "Dad, you are worried, you sit down."

Zheng Qing and Qing'e volunteered: "Let's go make tea!" Before Chen Wanrong could speak, they left the house one after another.

After sitting down, Zheng Jianqiu said, "Wanrong, tell me what's going on in prison so that everyone can't worry." Chen Laoshi and his wife looked anxious and wanted to understand what happened. For them, Chen Wanrong was a heartbroken, and even a little grievance would be heartbroken. Zheng Jianqiu's words were very agreed and he couldn't help but agree.

Chen Wanrong was about to tell this experience. After finishing his talk, Chen Houshi was so happy that he looked like a child: "Wanrong is not in jail, but on vacation!"

"Old man, what are you talking nonsense? If it weren't for Captain Ou and his help, Wanrong wouldn't have suffered much hardship." Chen Wangshi would have been much more sensible: "Wan Rong, if you have time, please ask Captain Ou and his friends to come to their house to sit."

She meant to thank Ou Sheng, this is what it should be. If it weren't for his help, Chen Wanrong wouldn't be so comfortable. He nodded and said, "Mom, I understand."

It is a good thing that someone helps, and everyone is happy. They praise Chen Wanrong for being popular. As they were talking, Chen Zairong's voice came: "The prince is here!"

"The prince is here?" No one except Chen Wanrong thought that the prince would come. He was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to speak.

Zheng Jianqiu was the first to react, slapped his hand on his thigh, and opened his mouth and laughed: "Haha, the prince is here, and the ancestors are accumulating virtue!" Fei rushed out like a flying man.

What an honor is it to be the arrival of the prince? Or is it the arrival of a radiant figure like Li Longji, which is naturally a blessing from the ancestors' accumulation of virtue. Although the prince is coming to the Chen Mansion, the Chen Mansion is now the old house of the Zheng family. How could Zheng Jianqiu have this idea?

Zheng Zhou understood what he meant, and was also excited that Mo Ming followed him out.

Chen and his wife hadn't figured out why Zheng Jianqiu was overestimating and followed him in a daze.

Chen Wanrong came to the yard and saw Li Longji hanging his sword on his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, strode towards him, his clothes fluttered, his temperament was as powerful as a god, which made people admire his extraordinaryness from the heart.

The hired workers came out of the workshop and stood in the local area, and did not dare to come out. Although Li Longji only brought four people, his momentum was intimidating, so the hired workers dared not say anything.

"It's gone, it's gone!" Li Longji waved his hand, and the hired workers responded and scattered. When they walked away, they realized that it was rude, but why didn't they think about it at that time? They just felt that it was natural to listen to him, and they had never even moved this idea. Li Longji's personality charm was quite good.

Without waiting for Chen Wanrong to speak, Li Longji stepped into the house: "Talking in the house."

Chen Wanrong and the others had to follow him into the house. Li Longji stood in the middle, and Chen Zairong and the other four stood behind him, looking at his nose and his nose, motionless, as if they were stakes deep into the underground.

Li Longji glanced at him and took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms: "Chen Wanrong received the order!"

He had to kneel down when he received the order. This is what Chen Wanrong was most reluctant to do. If there were too many people, he would be fine. Now that he had named him, Chen Wanrong could not avoid him, so he couldn't help but feel troubled. Just when he was unable to deal with it, Li Longji said: "The emperor's oral order, Mr. Chen will stand."

Ba was overjoyed, and Chen Wanrong responded quickly: "The people who are in charge of the order!"

Li Longji unfolded the yellow silk and saw that the word "Imperial Imperial Imperial" was on it, which was no different from the imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial in film and television dramas. He read it up and down: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict saying: Chen Wanrong is clever and skillful, has a good character, and his neighbors admire his transformation, and he is truly commendable. He praises good and evil, and his country has a long-term fortune. He does not miss the shabby lanes of the people. He is specially promoted to Chengfenglang, and is given a blue shirt and a fish bag. I admire this!"

He handed the imperial edict to Chen Wanrong and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Chen."

I became an official? Chen Wanrong couldn't imagine that he was so stupid that he was stunned. He was stunned until Li Longji handed the imperial edict to his hand that he realized it and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Li Longji stretched out his right hand, and a follower hurriedly handed over a set of clothes. Li Longji took it into his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, this is the official robe in the blue shirt, I have taken it away."

The official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty had strict regulations and could not be overcome. The third-grade or above clothes were purple shirts, the fourth-grade or above clothes were deep red, the fifth-grade or the fifth-grade or the dark green, the seventh-grade or the dark green, the eighth-grade or the ninth-grade or the light blue. The meaning of blu is red, You Siping is the fifth-grade or the fifth-grade or the light red official uniform can only wear light red, and Shen Que is the sixth-grade or the dark green official uniform.

The official uniforms are based on the rank of the official rank, rather than on duty. Bai Juyi was appointed as the Sima of Jiangzhou with the eighth rank. Sima was the fifth rank, but he was the eighth rank, so he could only wear a blue shirt, so he had the famous saying "The green shirt of Jiangzhou Sima was wet".

Chengfenglang is from the eighth rank, and Chen Wanrong can only wear a dark blue shirt. He is a literary official and generally does not serve, mainly to those who have just entered the official career. Although Chen Wanrong was good at detoxifying and saved Ruizong's life, Ruizong could not publicly say that Chen Wanrong saved me. The reason for saving me was because I was poisoned by taking pills, which was to cause trouble for myself.

Therefore, Chen Wanrong added some other contributions to the imperial edict, "the character is correct, the neighbors are ambitious, and the spirit of the people becomes popular." It was just an excuse found by Ruizong to give Chen Wanrong an official position. These words sound amazing, but they do not have much effect and can only be awarded junior official positions.

If you want to teach a bigger one, you have to find other excuses. Chen Wanrong saved Ruizong's life. This matter can be either big or small. It is okay to teach a fifth or sixth grade. However, Ruizong's face is not good-looking, so he can only feel wronged Chen Wanrong.

However, there are two unique features. One is that this is an official granted by Ruizong himself. Generally, such junior officials would not alarm the emperor, and a minister would deal with it. The other is that the prince personally read the imperial edict, or went to Chen Wanrong's mansion to repay Chen Wanrong. With these two points, few people from Chen Wanrong, who dared to provoke Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong didn't know what rank and level of Chengfenglang was. Anyway, being an official is a good thing, at least there is an amulet in the future when doing business. The emperor issued an order and the prince came to announce the imperial edict himself. There are two points if you meet an official like You Siping again, you don't have to do this like this time. After so many twists and turns, it's okay to behave like you.

"Thank you, thank you, Prince!" Chen Wanrong took it happily.

Li Longji took out a copper fish bag from his sleeve and placed it on his blue shirt. The matter was completed. The fish bag was an ornament worn by officials of the Tang Dynasty, containing a fish talisman. The fish talisman was engraved with an identity certificate of official position and had to be carried with him. In the beginning, it was only granted to officials and had to be returned after retirement. During the Wu Zetian period, he was renamed the turtle because of taboo issues. According to the different officials, there were three levels: gold, silver and copper.

During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong, the old system was restored to the fish bag. During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong, the government was corrupt and Princess Anle became a trend to sell officials. This rank was not strictly controlled. The fish bags in the official uniform were closely connected, and no longer distinguished between officials and officials, and all officials were all part of the official position. During the reign of Emperor Ruizong, it was further stipulated that officials in purple robes used goldfish bags and officials in purple robes used silverfish bags.

Chen Wanrong, an eighth-rank official, can only use copper fish bags. No matter who he is, it is better than nothing. Chen Wanrong refused everyone and accepted everything as required.

The happiest thing is Chen and his wife. In their minds, as long as Chen Zairong can be an official, he will be satisfied. Although Chen Wanrong is smart, he has never studied and cannot be an official. He can take good care of his family, earn more money, marry a good wife, and raise a few children.

However, what they didn't expect was that Chen Wanrong also became an official. Even though he was a junior official, he was still an official. No matter how small the official was, he was a few higher than ordinary people. It would be impossible to be excited. Chen Zhen couldn't help but touch his hot face, and opened his mouth to close, muttering softly: "Wanrong has made a fortune, has become an official! He has shined his ancestors!"

Chen Wangshi's face showed a unique glory, and she was extremely proud: "Of course Wanrong is amazing!"

Zheng Qing's eyes shone brightly, all of them were wonderful stars. Zheng Jianqiu felt unhappy. He, a former student of the Imperial College, had worked so much effort to get a job. Unexpectedly, Chen Wanrong became an official without any effort. This son-in-law is really capable!

After the business was done, Li Longji stepped aside and said, "You have seen it."

Chen Zairong was waiting for this, rushed up, grabbed Chen Wanrong's shoulder, and kept shaking: "Brother, congratulations! Brother, you have become an official too!"

"Be gentle, the bones are all broken." Chen Zairong tried too hard, and Chen Wanrong couldn't bear it, so he had to remind him.

Chen Zairong felt a little embarrassed: "Brother, you are too, I can't help but have I used more effort."

He also made a fuss, and Chen Wanrong was very angry. Chen Zairong smiled and said, "Brother, I'm happy. Brother, I'll introduce you. This is Lord Wang." He pointed to a middle-aged man wearing a sword around his waist and introduced him.

This man had seen him at Jingxianting. He stepped forward and bowed to Chen Wanrong with his fists and said, "Wang Maozhong has seen Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen's helping son is so good that Mao Zhong will never forget."

Chen Wanrong had already known about his relationship with Wang Shaohua, and handed the fish bag in his official robes to Chen Wangshi, then he clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Where did Lord Wang say that he has gone? Don't take such a mere thing to heart."

"Mr. Chen has a good character!" Wang Maozhong praised and stepped aside.

Chen Zairong pointed to the tall man with a thorny muscles and no need under his chin and introduced: "Brother, this is Lord Yang. Brother, Lord Yang has very high martial arts skills, and I have seen it soon."

Just looking at his posture, you can tell that he is possessed of excellent martial arts. Chen Zairong has rarely praised others. If he could mention a word, his career would definitely be extraordinary. Chen Wanrong held his fists and said, "I have met Lord Yang."

Lord Yang's voice was sharp and harsh: "Yang Sixu has met Mr. Chen."

Chen Wanrong was shocked and thought that he was an eunuch. Such a man was actually a eunuch, which was really unexpected. Chen Wanrong had no history knowledge. He didn't know that Yang Sixu was not only a eunuch, but also a famous eunuch in history. Needless to say, his man was very skilled in martial arts, and he was also a famous general who was proficient in military tactics. He fought many wars in his life. His greatest contribution was to follow the old path of General Fubo and Ma Yuan, the famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to enter Annan, quell the Annan rebellion, and contribute to the great cause of unification. Annan is now the northern part of Vietnam, and it was China's territory during the Tang Dynasty.

After Yang Sixu finished speaking, he stepped back. Chen Zairong pointed to the last young man and introduced: "Brother, this is Eunuch Gao."

The young man met Chen Wanrong at Jingxianting. At that time, he was just standing quietly, without attracting Chen Wanrong's attention, and clasped his fists and said, "I have met Eunuch Gao."

Eunuch Gao strode up: "Gao Lishi has met Mr. Chen!"
