169 Enter the East Pavilion (2 in 1)(2/2)

When ordinary young people face the emperor's reward, they either get too excited and forget about it, and directly say what they want.

Or he hesitated for a while, but finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the reward.

The strongest people will also struggle in their hearts before they can resist the temptation and politely refuse, showing that they are not motivated by utilitarianism.

There is simply no one like Shen Yichen who does not hesitate at all. This kind of mental concentration is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Shen Aiqing is so humble. Since you don't dare to ask for credit, how about I be promoted to the rank of chief official and be appointed as a sixth-rank Hanlin minister?"

Promotion?

Shen Yichen couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He really didn't expect that Zhu Qizhen's reward was so generous and he was promoted!

Regardless of just being promoted to one level, for an ordinary Hanlin, it would take three years to take this step forward. But he had only been in the official position for more than ten days, and he was able to receive such an exceptional promotion. It was like just sitting there. Rockets are no different.

Shen Yichen didn't know what the record was for the fastest promotion in the Ming Dynasty, but at his own speed, even if he didn't create history, he was close to it.

Seeing the subtle changes in the expression on Shen Yichen's face, Wang Zhen also showed a smile. The so-called humility and rejection was nothing more than the price given was not enough.

If an official does not seek wealth, then he naturally seeks power. If this kid has weaknesses, it will be easy to deal with them.

Just when Wang Zhen thought that Shen Yichen would definitely agree to thank him, an unexpected scene happened.

"I deeply feel His Majesty's kindness, but I have only been in office for more than ten days and if I get promoted rashly, I might damage the reputation of the Holy One."

"So I dare to ask Your Majesty to change the reward method!"

Although the temptation of promotion is great, the calmness of studying for more than ten days has made Shen Yichen's mood much more stable.

He entered the Imperial Academy in the third year of his career, and received the emperor's high regard and the golden flower belt. He was already above others and received too much attention.

Now that a sect has been established in the Imperial College, it is no surprise that these thousands of Imperial College students will soon spread their academic ideas, and I am afraid there will be another uproar by then.

If he was promoted in the official career in more than ten days, Shen Yichen simply couldn't imagine that he would become a "public enemy" in the eyes of many people.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!

At that time, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to face the crowd attacking him, and the emperor will not be able to be his backer forever.

There are many things that are too much and too little. If you take a step back appropriately, you will have a brighter future.

"Shen Aiqing has posed a difficult problem for me. I don't even know how to reward her."

Zhu Qizhen is really surprised. Shen Yichen doesn't want wealth, and now he doesn't even want an official position. Is there really such a person in the world who is indifferent to fame and wealth? "

"Then I will be brave again and ask your Majesty to order my biological mother!"

Shen Yichen finally revealed his purpose, which was to exchange the award for a conferment on his mother, Shen!

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhen almost couldn't help shouting after hearing this.

This boy is really old-fashioned and wants to seek the country. He gave up his promotion and awards to avoid being the target of public criticism. Asking for the title of birth mother is equivalent to showing his filial piety in front of the world, and it also blocks the public's mouth.

The response to such a plan is really strong, and my vision is indeed right!

Different from Wang Zhen's conspiracy theory, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was young after all and not so gloomy. Moreover, the Queen Mother Sun of the current dynasty was also the biological mother, so he could understand the affection between mother and son better than other emperors.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen felt the same way about Shen Yichen's filial piety.

So he nodded and said affectionately: "I am quite touched by Shen Aiqing's loving heart to support others. Where is the person in the bookstore?"

As the words fell, the imperial chariot also stopped, and an official in green robe hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor.

"When making the imperial edict, I deeply appreciate the filial piety of Shen Ai Qing, so I specially conferred the title of Lady of the Fifth Grade on her mother, and gave her fifty taels of silver as a reward."

"In addition, Shen Aiqing is very knowledgeable and should be entrusted with important responsibilities. She will be specially given to study in the East Pavilion!"

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "When an official of the fifth rank or above is promoted to a imperial edict, a woman below the sixth rank receives an imperial edict. There are women who receive official titles, titles, and titles, and their husbands and sub-officers confer them on them."

That is to say, for officials of the fifth rank and below, the wife and mother who are granted the title cannot be called the Imperial Madam, they can only be the Imperial Madam, which is more than one grade behind.

However, Zhu Qizhen specially named Shen as the fifth-grade royal wife, which was a high-ranking title, which further showed the magnanimity of the emperor's favor.

But what really shocked the officials and ministers present was the sentence that followed: "Go to the East Pavilion to study."

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, Huagai Hall, Jinshen Hall, Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dong Pavilion have special status. Once you enter and are awarded the title of bachelor, it means that you have stepped into the role of minister. of ranks.

Likewise, conferring the title of Bachelor of the Imperial Palace is also the only way to enter the cabinet!

Although Shen Yichen only went to Dongge to study, this kind of study did not mean going to study, but helping the emperor handle government affairs.

If it was already outrageous to say that he was promoted to one rank before, then now that Shen Yichen is studying in Dongge, it is even more exaggerated. He will definitely become a minister in the future.

This son humbly allowed his mother to be promoted and rewarded, but when he took a step back, he was extra moved by the emperor and stepped onto the Qingyun Ladder.
