Hearing the sound, Tang Ji turned around and said with a bright smile: "How is it? Is your husband awesome? He became a fifth-rank official in two months!"
Jiang Ran sneered and nodded in agreement: "Awesome, my husband is unparalleled in the world, the most powerful!"
After saying that, she stretched out her jade hand, picked up the copper-colored court crown placed on her official uniform, shook it twice, and said: "Okay, go wash up first, and I will tie up your hair crown in person later. Today is
It's your first time to go to court in the morning, so you can't be late."
Tang Ji smiled softly and wanted to kiss her, but remembered that he hadn't brushed his teeth yet so he had to give up. He put on his official uniform and walked back into the house.
Soon after, Tang Ji finished washing, and under Jiang Ran's service, he put on his official uniform, tied his hair, and put on his imperial crown.
When he walked out of the room, Jiu'er, who was standing on the swing, gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, you are so handsome!"
Under the influence of Tang Ji, the little girl has long known that "handsome" means to praise a man for being handsome and good-looking.
Tang Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, straightened his clothes, held his head high like a goose, looking very proud.
Seeing the interaction between the master and the servant, Jiang Ran, who was standing nearby, shook his head helplessly, and then reminded: "Breakfast has been prepared. If you don't go, it will be too late!"
After listening to her words, Tang Ji stopped writing and walked along the corridor towards the restaurant.
After breakfast, he said goodbye to Jiang Ran, stepped on the carriage and headed towards the imperial city.
At this time, breakfast stalls all over the city had begun to open for business, there were faint shouts from everywhere, and pedestrians appeared in twos and threes on some busy streets.
...
Imperial City, outside the palace gate.
Li Yu heard yesterday that Tang Ji was going to attend the morning court today, but he waited outside the palace gate for a long time but could not find him. He looked at the street and murmured to himself: "Is this guy oversleeping?
Have you forgotten about it? If I had known earlier, I should have gone to Ji Ranju to call him."
Just when there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, he saw Cheng Tie driving a carriage slowly and quickly greeted him.
"Tang Ji, if you stay late next time, let's see if Father will hit you!" After the carriage stopped, he opened the curtain.
Tang Ji got out of the carriage, jumped to the ground easily, opened his arms, looked at the tower and stretched: "Let's go."
This is not Ji Ranju, so Li Yu naturally cannot follow him like a little follower. He quickly catches up, walks side by side with Tang Ji, and says with a smile: "How about it? You can't be lazy anymore!"
"Alas~" Tang Ji sighed and did not reply.
But Li Yu regained his energy and said with a smile: "I tell you, days like this will continue for a long time. It's okay now, but when winter comes... Hey, hey, Tang Ji, please slow down and wait for me!"
The two of them entered the palace gate one after the other and headed towards the Golden Palace in the inner city.
Soon, someone noticed Tang Ji. The story that Mr. Zhang was beaten up for insulting Tang Ji in Ruyue Tower yesterday had already spread. Many officials also started talking in low voices as they walked, but it didn't take long for them to discover something unusual.
, because Tang Ji actually entered the inner city like them, walked across the long bridge to the platform waiting for His Majesty's summons.
"What's going on? Is a young leader of Tang Ji qualified to participate in the court?"
"I don't know. Could it be that he beat Young Master Zhang yesterday and Duke An Guo went to His Majesty? Are you planning to try this kid in the Golden Palace?"
"Ah? I never heard that Duke An Guo came to the palace to cause trouble!"
"Stop arguing, look at Tang Ji wearing a hair crown, it's obviously a court crown!"
In an instant, many officials' eyes were focused on the copper-colored hair crown worn on Tang Ji's head. Their eyes widened and they started talking again.
"No way, His Majesty plans to promote him again?"
"Master Zhu, am I still awake? Give me a slap. Hasn't it just been a month since Tang Ji was promoted? Why is he getting promoted again?"
"That's not necessarily true. He is already a sixth-grade official. It's not enough to hold the position of chief executive. Maybe he will just be promoted to a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"No matter how strong the boss is, it is still a low-ranking position, but if he becomes a member of the court, he will have a firm foothold in the court. With his ability, will he rise to the top in the future? I can't even think about it. He is only eighteen years old.
When I was eighteen years old, I could not even eat three dishes at a meal!"
"..."
Listening to everyone's chatter, Zhang Rongyang, who was standing in front of the crowd, also noticed Tang Ji who was joking with Li Yu, and his face suddenly darkened, but if he thought about it carefully, this might as well be impeached in a moment.
The censor tried to dampen his spirit in the Golden Palace!
At this moment, the eunuch outside the Golden Palace shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Emperor is coming to court!"
Immediately, the officials quickly shut up and began to line up according to their official ranks.
Li Yu dragged Tang Ji to the back of the crowd and said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, I'm here."
Tang Ji didn't feel nervous, but felt it was novel. He turned around and asked, "Isn't it appropriate for a prince like you to stand with me?"
"What's inappropriate? Don't forget that I'm still the young minister of Dali Temple. I'm from the fifth rank. It's perfectly fine to be next to you at the sixth rank." Li Yu replied with a smile and led him into the fifth rank.
The handover point with the sixth grade official.
Soon, the team was organized, and as the eunuch shouted "Hundred officials are here to meet", everyone stepped up the long steps and walked into the golden palace.
Tang Ji was just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and looking around. He saw that the Golden Palace was more luxurious and grand than he had imagined. It also made people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression. Everything in his eyes seemed to be golden.
Next, after Emperor Ning entered the palace, everyone knelt down and bowed as usual. After completing a set of procedures, today's morning court officially began.
Emperor Ning wore a golden crown and a dragon robe, looking quite majestic. He looked around and saw a man in red court clothes standing behind the crowd. He knew Tang Ji's location and couldn't help but shake his head.
He also asked Tang Ji to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to practice etiquette, but as a result, that brat Yu'er didn't even know etiquette!
Emperor Ning didn't think any more, put away his thoughts, and said loudly: "Before the court starts today, I want to announce something!"
After saying this, he winked at Bai Chang.
Hearing this, the officials frowned slightly, and some people's eyes couldn't help but drift to Tang Ji, waiting for the next words.
Bai Chang nodded slightly, ordered the two young eunuchs to open a very long imperial edict, and read it loudly: "Since the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Ningguo's farming has been hindered, and the grain harvest has been worse than the previous year. It has been six years now. During this period,
As a result, several rebellions broke out, and many farmers were brutally oppressed. I am deeply saddened. As we all know, 'agriculture' is the foundation of the country, and 'agricultural chaos' leads to 'national chaos'. However, since the imperial court introduced new agricultural policies, several people in Gyeonggi Province have
The state's agriculture has been improved, which has reduced the pressure on the people. The emergence of curved shaft plows and barrel carts has increased production... Therefore, I have decided to implement the new agriculture policy in Ningguo from now on.
And one month later, we will worship at the ancestral temple and inform our ancestors to pray for good weather for our country, Ning."
Hearing this, all the officials nodded one after another. Your Majesty has long wanted to solve this urgent problem. Now that the new agricultural policy is so effective, it will definitely spread throughout the country.
Bai Chang pursed his lips and continued reading: "The new farming methods are related to farming, water conservancy, commerce, etc., and cover a wide range of topics. However, these many methods are all produced by one person. He is proficient in arithmetic, familiar with Ming classics, and knows
Astronomy, geography of the Ming Dynasty, and poetry are unparalleled. He is known as "the most talented man in Ningguo". In addition, he catches corrupt officials for the people, catches cheating candidates for exams, and provides practical strategies for military management in the northwest. I can get it.
I am deeply pleased with the talent of this pillar. Therefore, Tang Ji, the head of the Imperial Household Department, is appointed as the son of Jingwang County. From now on, he will be appointed as the doctor of the Household Department. He will be crowned with honors and will be forever favored by God..."
Jingwang County!
Hearing this, the officials became no longer calm. They just saw Tang Ji wearing the imperial crown outside the palace. Everyone was ready to see the birth of such a young member of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not calm him down.
Instead, he was promoted to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is a fifth-rank official position!
It doesn't matter if you say you were promoted, the key is that Tang Ji was knighted!
Viscount!
How many years has it been since your Majesty was knighted?
The officials' eyes were filled with horror, confusion, and disbelief. But when they heard Bai Chang read out Tang Ji's achievements just now, they didn't know how to refute. Instead, they felt that there was nothing wrong with His Majesty's decision, and they all turned their gazes to the people standing there.
The young man in the green official uniform in the crowd behind.
I'm afraid this number one talent will be even more unprovoked in the future!
