186 The Son of Heaven bestows service (two in one)(2/2)
Zhu Qizhen's order was equivalent to letting Chen Yichen sit at the same table with British Duke Zhang Fu, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong and others. This kind of grace is simply shocking!
"I dare not exceed the rules."
The top honorary table is too conspicuous, and Chen Yichen really doesn’t dare to sit.
"This is the emperor's destiny!"
The civil minister wanted to welcome him but refused this, but Zhu Qizhen was familiar with him, so he simply blocked Chen Yichen's refusal.
"My minister, obey the order!"
There was no choice but Chen Yichen could only sit at the chief honorary table below in the incredible eyes.
And I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Zhu Yong was sitting next to Chen Yichen, and the father and son were on the same stage for the first time.
After taking the seat, the imperial banquet began. After experiencing Chen Yichen's "military display", the four envoys of the barbarians showed obedience and various praises and praises the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.
However, except for North Korea, Annan, and Ryukyu envoys who were deeply influenced by the Chinese and were able to quote classics, the envoys of other foreign countries were a little stiff and had no literary talent.
However, in the face of these flattery, Zhu Qizhen was very helpful. Because this showed his civil and military achievements as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he was loved and surrendered by all nations, and also satisfied the vanity that a young man expected to be recognized.
On the other hand, Chen Yichen was very unnatural. After all, the honorary status of this table is high, and he is not a person of the same level at all. It is definitely an exaggeration to not dare to say anything, and there is still some people who dare not speak nonsense.
Especially Zhu Yong sat next to him. Even though the father and son rarely had dinner at the Duke of Chengguo's mansion, they would not sit next to each other, which was really embarrassing.
In this atmosphere of the guests and guests, the Korean envoy spoke, "Your Majesty, I want to respect Chen Xiu of the Hanlin Academy. The top scholar upholds the great courtesy and justice and defends the dignity of North Korea. I am grateful!"
North Korea was deeply educated by Confucianism and also had a legacy of literary character. It was forced to be tributed by the envoy of the Imperial House, which was a great insult to the Korean envoy.
Chen Yichen came forward to uphold justice, which was equivalent to safeguarding the national dignity of North Korea, and the envoy was naturally grateful.
"Can."
Zhu Qizhen nodded with a smile, and Chen Yichen's move also made Daming more face.
"Envoys from the vassal states, thank you for the top scholar!"
The North Korean envoy bowed deeply to Chen Yichen, and then drank the wine glass in his hand.
"You must not be polite to you, this is my minister of the Ming Dynasty who should perform his duties."
Chen Yichen did not take credit, but magnified it to the entire national level, meaning that Ming officials would uphold justice and justice.
This return also made the officials of the banquet unable to help but nod. Chen Yichen was able to win this honor at a young age and was able to remain proud of himself. He was indeed very determined!
At the same time, this answer also made Zhu Qizhen very satisfied. He asked the Korean envoy with a little pride: "I heard that you call Chen Xiu the top scholar. Is my leader in the Ming Dynasty already famous in foreign countries?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Chen Xiuxiu's name as the leader of the Three Yuans and Six Yuans is well known among our Korean scholars. This is a symbol of the prosperity of the great Ming Dynasty's literary fortune!"
"My king and minister both agree with the auspicious signs of Kuixing coming to the world, which will surely allow barbarians from all directions to educate the sages and wise men, and make the world surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
It has to be said that North Korea has really learned the Central Plains culture thoroughly. If these remarks were not known as the identity of the North Korean envoy, they would not be inconsistent with what the scholar of the great Ming literati said.
As soon as the Korean envoy finished speaking, Annan envoy stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the name of Chen Xiu's composer is also widely circulated in Annan. All the literati take the top scholar as an example, hoping to understand the saint's doctrine!"
"I heard from Your Majesty, and the same is true for my mother, Ryukyu. The only one in the world is the leader of the Six Yuanshou. He advocates that the Ming Dynasty emphasizes education and promotes culture and moves far away from the Han and Tang dynasties!"
For the ancient Chinese emperors, the achievements of civilized governance were even greater than those of martial arts. Just like the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, the Qin Emperor had expanded their territory but did not leave a good reputation in history books. It was not until modern times that they were praised by the world.
The words of the envoys of the Four Barbarians not only praised Chen Yichen, but also recognized the civilization of the Ming Dynasty. In the final analysis, it was the good rule of the emperor Zhu Qizhen.
Under this kind of offensive of praise, Zhu Qizhen was so happy that he couldn't stand the flattery.
He was happy and looked at Chen Yichen and said, "Chen Aiqing is famous for his country, which is a blessing for my great Ming culture and education. He also presided over the tribute affairs in an orderly manner. I am very happy and should reward you!"
Zhu Qizhen's word "reward" came out, and all the civil and military officials present pricked their ears, wanting to hear what reward Chen Yichen could receive.
This son has been promoted to the position of half a year after he entered the officialdom and entered Dongge to study. Theoretically, there should be no more exaggerated rewards this time, at most, some things outside the body of gold, silver and treasures.
In fact, after Zhu Qizhen finished speaking of "rewarding", he himself didn't know how to reward him. It would definitely not be appropriate to be promoted again. It would cause criticism from too soon and would be suspected of boosting the seedlings to grow.
Dongge Chen Yichen also went in, and there was also an imperial gold and flower belt. The reward of gold, silver and treasures seemed too vulgar. Especially, the envoys of foreign countries had just praised the Ming Dynasty's civil affairs, so would you measure it with money?
Faced with the problem, Zhu Qizhen subconsciously looked at Wang Zhen beside him, hoping that he could give an idea.
But this time, Wang Zhen's expression was very indifferent on his face and did not intend to help Chen Yichen with any help. So he replied indifferently: "Long lively, Chen Xiu is still young, and he is too glorious and afraid of being arrogant. Just give him some gold and silver."
Hearing Wang Zhen's words, Zhu Qizhen also felt something was right. However, Chen Yichen made great contributions today and also made him feel more face-saving. He just gave some gold and silver rewards, which seemed a little too little.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on Duke Cheng Guo, and there was an answer in his mind instantly.
"I love you, loyal to the king and the country, and work hard on the king's affairs. Now I give you the Qilin Suit to you, and I hope you will not let down my expectations."
Kirin server?
When the emperor heard that the reward was given by the emperor, the whole audience was in an uproar!
You should know that the clothes given in the early and mid-Ming Dynasty were still very valuable. Unlike the rules in the late Ming Dynasty, officials began to wear clothes with patterns of clothes given at will.
The standards for the Ming Dynasty were first-grade pythons, second-grade bullfighting, third-grade flying fish, and fourth-grade Qilin. Among them, the flying fish suits were also used as the Jinyiwei public uniforms, while the Qilin uniforms were also used as the public uniforms of Duke, Hou, Bo, and Prince.
In other words, in addition to honorary relatives, if you want to obtain the Qilin ward, you must at least get a fifth-rank official to meet the minimum standard.
Chen Yichen is currently the sixth-rank official, the Youchunfang of the Zhan Shi Mansion, and he cannot meet this minimum standard at all. Does this mean that he will be promoted soon?
He was promoted to the sixth rank in the past month after he entered the officialdom. Now he has only been half a year. Are he going to enter the ranks of fifth rank officials?
"Chen Yichen Shengjun is too exaggerated. The Ming Dynasty has never had such a speed of promotion."
"Isn't this promotion yet? Today, I think I deserve the surrender of the emperor."
"It is reasonable, and the editor Chen Xiu's heart is to overestimate the unjust minister, which also demonstrates my great wise and civilized military skills, which is truly capable."
"I am worthy of being the son of Duke Cheng. This kind of martial arts talent is only envious of others."
No matter which era it is, strength is the best proof. Compared with Chen Yichen's previous verbal mockery at the court meeting, today he conquered some officials with practical actions, and his achievements cannot be questioned here!
Of course, it is impossible to be satisfied with all aspects, especially Hanlin Qingliu and Kedao censors, who still hated Chen Yichen to the core and did not agree with his behavior of "recommending martial arts".
"The Lord is probably blinded. This son is so arrogant that he has destroyed my literary style of the Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right, if Fanbian also goes to martial arts, then will my border with Ming Dynasty be full of smoke?"
"With martial arts, his heart can be punished!"
Compared with the lower-level civil servants who split into two factions, most of the upper-level officials looked solemn and worried.
Because today's Xunqi Group's statement was almost a clear-cut position. Originally, Zi Wendao had achieved his peak achievements, and now he showed signs of using civil officials to take charge of military affairs, coupled with the support of Xunqi Group behind him.
Who can stop the future?
The rise of Chen Yichen alone is not scary. What is scary is that the Xunqi Group behind him will go with the trend. It took decades for Emperor Ren and Xuan to rest with the people and govern inaction to make the warrior retreat behind the scenes, and the literati stood in front of the stage.
