"Chen Yichen received the order!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's second order, the guests who had been shocked and looked at the banquet by their concubine Feng Gao immediately calmed down and honestly lowered their heads to listen to the order.

"The emperor of the Heavenly Reigns, and the imperial edict said: I need talent and be competent and determined to be an official. I am currently a editor of the Hanlin Academy. Chen Yichen is talented and rich, and I like to be an article. The three Yuan Dynasty passed the title and the six Yuan Dynasty was the leader, and the scholars were founded. I was specially promoted to the Youchunfang of Zhanshifu, and I went to the Dong Pavilion to study. I still have a title to be successful. I am so proud of it! May 16, the tenth year of Zhengtong."

This imperial edict was brought out, and the whole audience was silent. Even the important officials who had already learned in advance that Chen Yichen was going to study in the East Pavilion were shocked and could not speak at this moment.

After all, no matter how outrageous the Feng Gao is, it is just a nominal honor and title for women and children, and does not involve official rights. The officials in the court with a little rank will be surprised and will pass after dinner.

However, Chen Yichen's imperial edict actually involved future career development.

The Emperor's Holy Family is too exaggerated. It is not enough to go to Dongge to study. He actually added additional officials and rewards, which can be said to have created another history of the Ming Dynasty!

Not to mention these guests at the banquet, even Chen Yichen, after listening to the imperial edict, was stunned and forgot to thank him.

That day, he accompanied Zhu Qizhen, and considering that he had only been in office for more than ten days, in order to avoid the situation of "the trees are in the forest and the wind will destroy them", Chen Yichen politely rejected the emperor's promotion and chose Feng Gao's mother Shen.

Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, also agreed at that time, and today he fulfilled the imperial edict, and granted his mother Shen as the fifth rank.

Chen Yichen thought of the second imperial edict, at most he announced that he would go to Dong Pavilion to study. After all, this was also what he had promised at the beginning, and his words were unchangeable.

As a result, Zhu Qizhen never expected that he would be promoted to him, but from the beginning, the sixth-rank Hanlin lecturer, he changed to the sixth-rank Zhan Shifu Youchunfang Zhongyun.

The department of the Zhan Shifu was originally an institution responsible for the prince's internal affairs, and can be simply understood as the Secretariat of the East Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was established to control the power of Hanlin officials and Grand Secretary of the Palace, so that they could restrain each other and avoid excessive concentration of power.

After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, the power of Hanlin officials was strengthened and gradually showed signs of being the only one. By the time of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and the title of Grand Secretary of the Palace were basically controlled by Hanlin officials, and the Zhanshi Mansion became increasingly weak.

Especially with the emergence of the cabinet system, the unspoken rule of "not entering the cabinet unless Hanlin is a Hanlin" has become the last straw that crushed the Zhan Shi Mansion.

As a result, the three-legged division at the time became the dominant Hanlin Academy, and the "Han Zhan" merged into it, that is, the Zhan Shi Mansion was completely merged into the Hanlin Academy. The official titles that once belonged to the Zhan Shi Mansion also became the ladder for Hanlin officials to seek promotion.

To put it simply, the sixth-rank attendant lecturer in the Hanlin Academy has real power, and the sixth-rank Youchunfang Zhongyun of the Zhanshifu is only equivalent to a nominal virtual title.

But no matter how weak it is, it is still a sixth-rank official position, which means that Chen Yichen will directly enter the ranks of fifth-rank officials next time he is promoted!

"Top priest, thank you."

After the eunuch passed the imperial edict, he saw Chen Yichen still unmoved, so he spoke and reminded him.

"I, thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Yichen accepted the imperial edict, but his mind was still a little confused. Zhu Qizhen felt that it was not suitable for him to be promoted in more than ten days. Now after a month, will it become suitable?

Seeing Chen Yichen's flattery, the eunuch who sent the imperial edict smiled and patted him intimately on the shoulder and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, this is the second time our family has come to the Duke Mansion to announce the imperial edict. Last time I asked for a good lottery and drank a glass of top prize wine. This time I have to get a good lottery and drank a big wedding wine again."

After hearing this, Chen Yichen realized that this eunuch was the one who gave the imperial imperial gift of the golden flower belt last time. No wonder he felt familiar.

Once it was a coincidence, but twice it was definitely not that coincidence.

At the same time, this also solved Chen Yichen's doubt, that is, the Ming Dynasty's reading of imperial edicts had a series of standard procedures. Eunuchs would not be sent to publicize and distribute them at will, but there were formal officials who issued the imperial edicts.

The reason is that the eunuch called himself a "slave" or "slave" to the emperor, and was not called a "subject" like an official. This is essentially different from the status of a slave in the Qing Dynasty.

Sending eunuchs to read the imperial edict will be considered as a disregard for the ministers and a destruction of the royal dignity.

Even if there are occasional cases where eunuchs are asked to pass the imperial edict, at most they will convey some oral decrees for the emperor. Not only will they not be attached to the ministers in the court, but they will not be able to contact the major military and national affairs in terms of content.

Of course, this situation has changed in the orthodox dynasty, and the status of eunuchs is no longer so low. After all, officials and ministers have called Wang Zhen a father, so what kind of insult can it be considered?

However, eunuchs are sent to pass the imperial edict every time, which is still a relatively rare situation. Chen Yichen cannot ignore it like last time.

"I dare to ask my father-in-law Gao's name, and I'm going to make a drink with my father-in-law today."

"I dare not call myself a surname Gao. Our family is the official in charge of the seal of Tang Tong. You are polite to the top minister."

Among the twelve eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Silijian was currently the head of the Silijian, but decades ago, it was the head of the Neiguanjian. In history, after Zhu Qiyu, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Daizong, succeeded to the throne, the prime minister of the Iniguanjian, Cheng Jing, once again surpassed the Silijian and became the head of the eunuchs.

From this we can see that the status and power of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the internal officials is not low, and can be called the "master" among the eunuchs.

In addition, there is another more important point, that Tang Tong is the confidant among the internal officials, Wang Zhen, and is highly valued!

"The lower official has no idea about Mount Tai, so my father-in-law also asks him to sit down!"

After Chen Yichen learned of the other party's identity, he immediately took a pleasing attitude.

In fact, the last time Tang Tong issued the imperial edict, he had already shown his identity as Wang Zhen’s party members.

However, at that time, Chen Yichen was still hesitant and reluctant to get too close to Wang Zhen in front of all the civil and military officials.

Now that they are all labeled as "eunuch party", no matter how they draw a clear line with the eunuch, no one believes it. They might as well just throw it apart, at least they won't be unpleasant to both ends, and keep the eunuchs on Wang Zhen's side safe.

"Our family can't afford this, so I'll thank you in advance."

Tang Tong also understood that Chen Yichen is not an ordinary sixth-rank official. No matter what the prospect of the title of top scorer is, just because he is now highly valued by the emperor and Wang Zhen, he will not be able to be proud of Shen Yichen.

After some refusal, Tang Tong was invited to take the seat.

This scene is no longer surprising when all the civil and military officials attending the banquet. Last time, Chen Yichen was not as handsome as a eunuch, so he treated this eunuch with thoughtful manners and dared not neglect it.

Now they have become "elebrants of the eunuch party" and have learned about the identity of the other party's internal officials and supervisors. It is not surprising that they have such a flattering attitude.

Not to mention a small sixth-rank official like Chen Yichen, if he was a senior official of the dynasty, he would have a chance to have a relationship with a senior official in the internal supervision.

But in Yang Hongze, who saw this scene for the first time, he felt furious.

In the past, I thought Chen Yichen's loyalty was not absolute, but to the civil servant group. Today, it seems that this kid is not absolute loyalty to the eunuch group!!

"The eunuch party's lackey!"

Hearing this sentence from Yang Hongze's mouth, He Pingyan next to him quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Yang, I know you are cynical and you can't tolerate a little sand in your eyes."

"But now that the eunuch party is in great power, Chen Yichen is deeply grateful to the emperor, so he must not act impulsively, and he must do it slowly!"

"snort!"

Yang Hongze snorted coldly, then drank a glass of muffled wine.

When he first met with the Minister of Rites Hu Yi, Yang Hongze felt that he had met Bo Le, and vowed to use his literati passion to wipe out the traitors in the officialdom headed by the eunuch party with his heart!

Now, I am watching the eunuch party have a strong momentum, and a slanderous minister like Chen Yichen can still reach the top and be respected by the emperor, and it is very glorious for a while!

Is this wrong, or is this world wrong?

Looking at Yang Hongze enduring, He Pingyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know how my uncle and Da Zongbo planned it, so I chose such a person as the training target to check and balance Wang Zhen and the eunuch party.

There is no shortage of literary character, integrity, loyalty, etc., so there is no need to worry that he will join the eunuch party. But the problem is that he is too straightforward and decisive. Do you really think that this world is like the books of sages, either black or white?

The turbid officialdom is not suitable for people like Yang Hongze to survive.

After the order was issued, several servants helped Lin up from the ground. From the moment Tang Tong announced Chen Yichen's promotion, Lin felt as if his energy had been drained, and his eyes were dark and collapsed to the ground.

If there wasn't a maid behind her, she would have made a fool of herself on the spot.

Lin felt unacceptable. Why was this slut Shen so lucky and her mother was so noble by her son?

The concubine was granted the title of honor, and his son was promoted to Dong Pavilion for more than a month after he entered the officialdom. The title of Grand Secretary of the Palace is just around the corner.

In comparison, Zhu Ji was a disciple of the prince, and his eldest son Zhu Yi was blocked by his title, and his fame was far inferior to Chen Yichen, the maid.

I tried so hard to seize the position of my wife, but in the end it seemed that nothing had changed. Why did I feel so miserable?

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Ji had just arrived from the backyard at this time, and he thought he could see a scene where his mother was suppressing the slut of Shen. By then, he could also defeat Chen Yichen with his identity as a legitimate son.

This is called using his own way to treat others. When I was at my wedding banquet, the limelight was given by Chen Yichen, and now I want to avenge the humiliation!

As a result, Zhu Ji did not expect that what he saw was the scene where his mother had no blood on her face and had to rely on her subordinates to stand firm.

What exactly happened, why did my mother become like this in just a short period of time?

"Help your mother down!"

Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng Guo, said a cold and cold sentence, which made people feel chilled.

Before Shen Yichen's wedding, Zhu Yong heard rumors that Zhu Ji was spreading the situation outside that Chen Yichen and he visited the examiner Qian Xili for personal gain.

You should know that "one prospers and one prospers, one loses and one loses" is the lifelong belief of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong. Zhu Ji's approach not only hit Chen Yichen, but also harmed the family interests of the entire Duke Cheng Guo Mansion.

But considering that Chen Yichen's wedding was right in front of him, Zhu Yong chose to endure it and wait for the marriage to deal with it.

Lin's actions today once again touched Zhu Yong's bottom line. It turns out that if you have a mother, you will have a son.

If it is not severely punished, wouldn’t the Duke’s government fall into a state of tragedy in the future?

"Yes, my father."

Zhu Ji didn't know what happened, but it was the first time he saw his father's expression. He was afraid in his heart and did not dare to have any objection. He helped Lin and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yichen, who was a deskmate, raised his lips slightly.

Harmful people and self-harm. At least for a long time, Lin will be unable to jump with his identity as a real wife.

As the banquet came to an end, the civil and military officials who attended the banquet began to say goodbye one after another.

Chen Yichen was not a greedy person, and he also understood that Chen Qingtong was waiting for him in the new house, but there were too many nobles and nobles to attend the banquet today, so others had to give him the face toast.

So he got drunk again.

In the new house of Duke Cheng’s Mansion, Chen Qingtong sat on the bed with a red veil on his head. However, he was holding a red apple in his hand, and he was gnawing with relish in Li Po’s helpless eyes.
