Chapter 160: Rewards for meritorious deeds
Chapter 160 Reward on merit
Chen Si was still wearing his student at the Palace Academy. Chen He did not wear his chief clerk, but instead wore a square flat scarf, a blue round neck and big sleeve shirt, high felt boots, and was dressed as a scholar... The eldest son and his parents stood behind them, and behind them were Wu Chengqi, inspector of Kuaiji and Yu Dayou in military uniform... He had just arrived in the morning, and stood in the last row, and it was indeed the magistrate of County Li.
The order in which they stand is the order in which the order is given later, not in terms of superiority.
The surroundings are full of attention, and people are either envious, jealous, or simply watching the fun, hoping to become them.
After everyone met the imperial envoy, Mr. Zhao did not immediately pass the order, but went to the main house to change his clothes under the guidance of the attendant... He came in his regular clothes and was inevitably sweating all the way. Naturally, he could not proclaim the order like this. He had to take off all his clothes and wash it, change it into three new insides and outsides, and then smoke it incense before coming out.
Everyone waited for half an hour and was almost unable to hold back. Then they heard a loud shout, "The Imperial Envoy!" Then they saw a new third-grade court uniform, which was roughly the same as what the prefect Tang Dynasty wore during the examination in the palace, except that the Lantian jade was worn by the prefect Tang Dynasty, and the prefect Tang Dynasty wore the medicine jade.
To be honest, no one noticed this difference, because everyone's eyes fell on the stack of yellow scrolls in his hand... that was the legendary imperial edict, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Zhao Wenhua walked to the incense table, put the imperial edict on the shelf, then kowtowed to the north, and finally stood up, picked up the imperial edict again, looked around. When doing all this, the field was silent, so quiet that the sound of the storm could be heard.
'Cough cough' Zhao Wenhua coughed lightly, breaking the calm and said, "The Imperial Order."
Everyone, including the prefect Tang, knelt down, and he was the only one standing in the whole field. After a moment of obsessing with the feeling of being a fox and a tiger, Zhao Wenhua sang loudly in his official language with a slight Yunnan accent: "Feng--Heaven of Heaven, the emperor ordered: Killing the enemy to defend the country to strengthen the heart of the ministers, and adding orders to the court is the royal court, so you must be praised without hesitation for this righteous act..."
He paused and continued: "The student was silent, not as weak as the crown, not as good as the court's order, and was studying. When the Japanese and pirates invaded, even though the scholar was weak, he still fought with both righteousness and courage, and had both courage and strategy, and came up with a brilliant plan to annihilate the stubborn enemy. He is a model for all students in the world. He is a generous gift. Do you advise the future? I ordered you to be the inspector of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war and the people's plaque with both virtue and talent, and be given a plaque of loyalty and serene clothes, and be given a sixth rank. An inspector asked the Zhejiang Provincial Administration Commission for all military and civilian anti-Japanese affairs, and you can hear the truth and listen directly to the heaven!"
"What should I ask for the imperial edict of Xi? Only by fulfilling my duties and serving the king and the country can I live up to my father's kindness and be grateful to you forever. I admire this, June 21, 33rd year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty."
After receiving the order in silence, another imperial edict was given to his father: "Sacred - the heavens inherit the fortune, the emperor ordered that good talents always have mothers, and loyalty and wise men still need father training. Chen He, the chief clerk of Kuaiji County, ordered the Zhejiang inspector Chen Si's father, Su Feng Chang Nai, and the court trained Ji Qiu, and gave him a gift to him as an official in Shaoxing Prefecture. He pursued his deceased wife Xu as a sixth-rank native of Tai'an, and his wings are deeply affectionate. I am grateful for this. On June 21, 33rd."
After Chen He was crying and holding the imperial edict, Zhao Wenhua opened the third book and said, "The eldest son Yao came forward to listen to the title." When the eldest son came forward, he read it out: "For the heavenly inheritance, the emperor ordered: Sacrifice to strengthen the heart of the ministers, and to add rank and to express kindness is the court's ritual..." In addition to the description of the achievements, the following is roughly the same as the one who gave Chen silence. Until the final reward, he was given the title of the Jinyiwei hundred households and the plaque of "Iron Blood Danxin".
The title of Jinyiwei's hundred households has nothing to do with Jinyiwei, it is just a kind of military service. Even if the eldest son does nothing, he will have no worries about food and clothing in his life, which immediately attracted a breath of envy.
Then his parents came forward to receive the reward, and Dad Yao was given the title of 100 households in the garrison, so his treatment was naturally worse than that of the garrison of Jinyiwei. Aunt Yao was named a seventh-rank sir.
The old couple is still in a dream, and they can't imagine that they have become an official. This happiness comes too suddenly, which makes them unable to accept for a while. It's better for the eldest son to come over and help their parents away so that the next one can accept the reward.
Next was Kuaiji inspector Wu Chengqi. He was promoted from the ninth-rank inspection to the seventh-rank Hangzhou Promoter, who had crossed many levels at once. He was so excited that he was at a loss. After receiving the imperial edict, he would not even leave.
The next rewarded Yu Dayou is as calm as a mountain, with an ancient well facing him, which is in sharp contrast to the previous group of those who are not promising... Of course, no one can compare with each other.
His reward was to be promoted to the next level and become Deputy General of Su Song, which was also very happy, because it meant that he would have direct subordinates, rather than seeing the troops he was leading before when he was in war.
Finally, Li Magistrate Li, who was awarded the prize because of his keen eyes and was rewarded. In addition, he was promoted to the head of the Sichuan Qing Lishu Department of the Ministry of Revenue after he took office this year. The Ministry of Revenue is a place where money and grain are managed. The head of the Thirteen Qing Lishu Department is related to small power and a first-class fat man.
County Magistrate Li was originally planning to retire, but suddenly he got such a beautiful woman. He was naturally overjoyed, but he could still hold it back on his face.
After the order was issued, Mr. Zhao felt his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking. He pointed to the plates of silk and satin held by the soldiers, and said, "There are also some imperial gifts, each person has two orders to go down." He smiled at the silent smile and said, "Please change your clothes, please put on the official uniform. After putting on the official uniform, I will also send another secret order to convey it."
Chen Si quickly responded, took the tray of Sheng’s official uniform with his own hands, and carried his clothes to the backyard with his hands.
When he entered the inner room, several servants sent by Chen Mansion to help him change his clothes. He first removed the scholar's outfit on his body, put on the white gauze mid-lane and white gauze silk stockings, and then put on the dark jade clothes, tied a plain belt, and plain shoes with green and green ribbons.
Next, I covered the dark jade-colored dark clothes with a dark blue Yucai Zhong Jingfu. I touched the material silently, and used a silk yarn. The edges were blue and blue, and there were light blue cloud patterns on the fabric. There was actually a patch on the chest, which was not a bird representing grade, but a pig representing Feng Xianjun.
After putting on his entire body of official uniform, Chen Shu finally put on a Zhongjing crown in front of the mirror... This official hat is made of the same material as a black gauze hat. But the two wings are upright behind the head... Similar to the winged crown worn by the emperor, but the crown is square, with three beams slightly raised in the middle and light-colored silk thread on the edge.
Finally, he hung his belt and jade pendant and ordered the Zhejiang inspector to fully equip it.
Chen An held up the bronze mirror in front of him and said excitedly: "Young Master, it turns out that you are the most suitable for wearing official uniforms!"
After looking at it silently, he was indeed wearing a majestic official uniform, which suppressed the slightly weak scholarly aura on his body, making him look more mature, steady and more trustworthy.
He smiled slightly and said, "The workmanship of official uniforms is much more refined and complicated than ordinary clothes. Anyone who wears them will look very energetic." He said, patted Chen An's shoulder and said, "As sooner or later, you can also wear official uniforms to show off."
Chen An said in surprise: "Can I? Young Master?"
"There is nothing impossible." Chen Si smiled and said, "Of course, you have to be obedient." After saying that, he gently pushed open the door and saw that the yard was full of people, all looking at him in unison.
Siren was so scared that he looked at his body with a hint of sight. He looked at his body at a loss. He felt that nothing was wrong, so he had to scratch his head and smile, "I said, everyone, what are you looking at?"
Everyone came to their senses and bowed to him together, "Congratulations to Lord Shen, congratulations to Lord Shen."
Chen Si turned his body in embarrassment and said, "Don't joke, I haven't received the imperial certificate yet, so I can't be considered an official."
Everyone was distracted and said, "It's here later, it's okay to shout in advance now." Then they asked in a verbal manner: "Mr. Shen, is this Zhejiang inspector a top official?"
Chen Shu was sweating in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't know. I'll go to the imperial envoy to ask you later." Then he bowed to everyone and said: "Please ask the front yard to sit first, I'll invite the imperial envoy to the seat."
Everyone hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Sir, please give me a gift." Then they separated and made a way out for Lord Shen to pass.
Although Chen Si had been an official with a sesame and green bean in his previous life, he had never tasted the charm of the present. In front of everyone, he was wearing three new official uniforms inside and outside, and thick-soled official boots with foundation and black gauze on his feet. For a moment, he felt that he didn't know that he should take the leg.
He went outside the imperial envoy's door in a daze. After reporting, he went in in a daze. He knew that he saw Uncle Tang's narrow eyes, and his silent mind returned to the clear mind. He bowed to the two adults who were drinking tea and said, "The student has seen two adults in silence."
Zhao Wenhua looked at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "You should call yourself a subordinate." He said, "You should call yourself a subordinate from the table." He picked up a rolled corner shaft from the table and handed it to silently, "This is your imperial edict." He took out a seal wrapped in red silk and said, "This is your big seal." He took out a jade seal with bloodstone and said, "This is your official defense." He pointed to the outsider and said, "There are your subordinates outside." After saying that, he smiled and looked at him and said, "You can call yourself a subordinate with confidence now, right?"
Chen Mo then changed his words, and after speaking, he asked carefully: "Dare you ask, sir, which yamen is the subordinate of the lower official? What rank is it?"
