Chen Qingtong looked at Chen Yichen tidying up his clothes, walked over to help him sort out some wrinkles on his court suit, and then said with admiration and admiration in his eyes, "My husband is indeed more suitable for a few robes."

Hearing this, Chen Yichen joked: "Only when you lose it, you know how to be precious. It's a pity that your husband is no longer a member of the Scarlet Robe."

"Then you are still wearing Qilin court uniforms to attend the official court meeting. Are you not afraid of being considered as being proud of being credited?"

Following Chen Yichen's joke, Chen Qingtong also made a joke.

The gift of wardrobe in the early and mid-Ming Dynasty was still full of gold content, not as numerous as the late period. Especially for civil and military officials in the foreign dynasty, giving wardrobe represents great grace and honor. Generally, it will not be spread out at will and is a collection of imperial gifts.

Chen Yichen is now in the limelight, and the Zhengdan dynasty meeting in the 12th year of Zhengtong was once again grand, and all officials and envoys from all over the world gathered. They did not wear the fifth-rank civil servants' wardrobe but went to the wardrobe with the crimson qilin wardrobe, which was easily considered to be showing off.

"As the saying goes, "Don't return home without a luxury is like walking in a night with a luxury."

"Since you have returned to Beijing with the merit of water control, it is destined to be in a low-key manner and be indifferent to everyone. Anyway, you will be discussed by the ministers. It is better to act high-profile. Why bother to be cautious by yourself?"

"What's more, this time, your husband didn't plan to keep a low profile."

Many times, if the light is too dazzling, it is destined to be unable to continue to hide. On the contrary, showing some sharpness appropriately will discourage many villains.

This is why Chen Yichen will set up an official title and guard when he returns to Beijing, and will wear a Qilin-given uniform in the official court today, showing the grace and honor of the powerful and noble!

"My husband is really showing his strength."

Chen Qingtong said, compared to Chen Yichen who first met, he is now gradually becoming more dignified by the important officials.

After saying this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Chen Qingtong's mouth, and then leaned against Chen Yichen's chest and added: "But I like it."

As the only daughter of Hou Taining, she has seen countless noble families since she was a child. How could Chen Qingtong not understand the principle that a real man wakes up and controls the world and lies in the knees of a beautiful man?

My husband is destined to be an ordinary person, so he should be a furious horse and show his ambition!

After a simple warmth, Chen Yichen and Chen Qingtong got on a carriage and went to the imperial city Chengtian Gate to prepare to enter the palace to meet the emperor and concubines.

As the main dynasty meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the road to the imperial city was full of traffic. After all, this time it was not only the Beijing officials and the envoys to Beijing who needed to congratulate, but also many local officials from the prefectures came, so it was difficult to avoid traffic jams.

According to the rules of the "Ming Ming Hui Dian", Chen Yichen, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy who was from the fifth rank, had to avoid him when he saw an official carriage.

Whoever said that there are many high-ranking officials in the capital and who can participate in the dynasty meeting can't be a small official with sesame and green beans. They must at least reach the level of a robe of a fourth rank or above.

But in fact, Chen Yichen's journey was unimpeded. Except for the carriage of the cabinet ministers, other officials did not need to avoid it.

If the Hanlin people are noble, they will naturally have a noble status.

After arriving outside the Meridian Gate, Chen Yichen got off the carriage first. Chen Qingtong, as a woman, was involved in the palace, and had to go to another palace gate to enter, and then stayed to have a meal together. During the whole process, both sides could not meet.

Fortunately, Chen Qingtong was originally a son of a Xunqin, and had participated in similar court celebrations before. When meeting the empress dowager and the queen alone, she would not be as nervous as ordinary women.

"Qingtong, please pay more attention after entering the palace. I will not be able to help you in the harem."

After getting off the carriage, Chen Yichen habitually reminded him, but what he received was Chen Qingtong chuckling.

"Husband, you have to pay more attention to it. When it comes to participating in the ceremonial ceremony, I am more familiar with you."

Hearing this, Chen Yichen coughed, then pretended to be nothing and picked up a brocade box from the carriage, and turned around and walked towards the civil servant team without even saying goodbye.

Looking at Chen Yichen's desperate attitude, Chen Qingtong couldn't help but smile. After putting down the curtain, he called the coachman to leave.

Compared with the past daily dynasties and the morning and morning dynasties, the officials waiting outside the Meridian Gate can't see the end at first sight, but they are clearly classified into civil and military officials, officials outside the capital, and camps of red robes and green robes.

Although the official uniforms of Hanlin Academy are fifth-rank green robes, they have always been among the ranks of officials, both in official banquets and in the rankings, and are the emperor's special kindness.

But Chen Yichen did not follow the usual rules and went to the camp of the Fierce-Boat Beijing officials, but went straight to the group of Hanlin green-Boat officials.

It took a long time since Shang Lu and Xiao Yi, and he took this opportunity to enter the palace and planned to go and talk about the past.

Walking forward in a kirin suit, Chen Yichen soon attracted the attention of the officials. After all, wearing a gift suit when he was young, even if he didn't know Chen Yichen's appearance, it would be difficult for him to not pay attention to this kind of kindness and honor.

The local prefecture officials who were especially involved in the Zhengdan court meeting couldn't help but talk a lot when they saw Chen Yichen's attitude of being young and holding a high position.

"Is that official in the Qilin suit the famous Chen Sanyuan?"

"It must be him. There has never been a Ming Dynasty. The precedent of wearing a Qilin-given uniform at such an age is unprecedented!"

"I heard that Your Majesty also appointed Chen Sanyuan as the lecturer of the Jingyan. The twenty-year-old imperial teacher could not imagine it!"

"If this continues, Shen Sanyuan will be just around the corner to join the cabinet and serve as the minister."

Local officials from the prefectures were filled with various feelings and their envy was beyond words. You should know that many of them would be promoted even if they were wearing red robes, their careers would end when the governor was in power.

In most cases, the governor was only able to compete with the fourth-rank official and the censor of the capital, and could barely compete with each other.

But Chen Yichen was wearing a uniform and serving as the imperial teacher at the age of 20. To put it bluntly, his career start may be an end that many local officials would never reach in their entire lives.

How can you not envy?

But no matter how envyed, everyone knew that Chen Yichen's fame and reputation were the three Yuans, and that he had made unparalleled achievements in controlling water from the local area. These were all obtained by real ability.

It can only be said that heroes are young!

"Brother Xiao, Brother Shang."

Chen Yichen came to Xiao Yi and Shang Lu, bowed and greeted them.

It may have been a long time since we saw each other, or it may have changed too much. At this moment, the two of them looked at Chen Yichen in front of them, and were stunned and did not respond.

"To the north, you're back."

Shang Lu reacted first, and his tone was a little uncontrollable and excited.

I haven't seen it for more than a year. What has changed is appearance and momentum, but what has not changed is friendship and sincerity.

"Looking north, I miss you so much during this period."

Xiao Yi was also excited inside, but his behavior was a little restrained. He wanted to reach out to hold Chen Yichen tightly, but finally let it go.

After all, Chen Yichen has achieved success and fame, and has also served as the lecturer of Jingyan and has become an imperial teacher. The gap between him and his status is getting bigger and bigger.

Xiao Yi was originally a commoner, and he felt a little inferior in his heart, and now he felt unattainable.

Chen Yichen saw Xiao Yi's hesitation and restraint in his movements. He opened his arms, ignored the surprised eyes of the civil and military officials present, and hugged Xiao Yi and Shang Lu for a long time to meet again.

Like-minded people are precious, and they are far from being able to measure power and status.

"Hmph, there is the skin of the lecturer, but there is no bone of the emperor. I don't know how much impact these civil servants will have on His Majesty."

Yang Hongze looked at Chen Yichen's "Menglang" behavior and looked displeased. In his opinion, as a lecturer in the Sutra, a teacher must first correct himself.

A gentleman's friendship is as calm as water, how can he be as erect as a public servant?

"The overall situation has been decided, so what can we do?"

He Pingyan replied with a little self-deprecatingly, Chen Yichen's most critical vote was voted by his own uncle Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel.

Even he thought that Chen Yichen's rise to power could better fight against Wang Zhen and balance the power structure of the court. What's the use of waiting for his juniors to say more?

"Brother He, as a literati, we should cultivate Qi and govern the country. How could we be so disheartened?"

Facing Yang Hongze's responsive question, He Pingyan smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

Sometimes he really envies Yang Hongze's simplicity and passion, and always holds the original intention of a literati to perform the road of governing the country, and has a stubbornness and stubbornness that does not hit the wall and does not look back.

But what the officialdom is not about Confucius and Mencius. Whoever has more righteousness can rise to the top.

Chen Yi Chen, the general situation has come true!

With this kind of thinking, there is Ma You standing in the distance and staring at Chen Yinchen.

He had realized that Chen Yichen could not suppress it, but the various conflicts of interest in the past made him stand on the opposite side without realizing it.

Should we continue to suppress and block our own people, support our own people to join the cabinet and become ministers, or follow the general trend and let Chen Yichen take a high position and fight Wang Zhen to the death.

This difficult question was placed in front of Ma Yu, and he didn't know how to make a decision.

In addition, Ma Yu also had an unavoidable worry in his heart. Chen Yichen was so sleek and unpredictable. He might not fight Wang Zhen to the death. Maybe both sides would shake hands and make peace, and then he would backfire.

"Ma Yuanfu, do you have any worries?"

Hu Yi came to Ma Yu at some point and also looked at Chen Yichen in the distance, then Dandan said.

"Da Zongbo's eyes are like a torch, and nothing can be hidden in your eyes."

Ma Yu took the initiative to bow and put himself in a weak position.

In addition to the inferior seniority and qualifications, there is also an important reason, that is, the high status of the Minister of Rites is the first in the six divisions.

For ancient dynasties, the major affairs of the country were in sacrifices and military affairs. The Minister of Rites was in charge of sacrificing heaven and earth, so it was naturally extremely noble.

Of course, this is just nominal. In fact, the Ministry of Personnel has great control, and the title of Tianguan is not a false reputation.

"You are too impatient with many things. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food, and you should take it slowly."

“It’s true for things and for people.”

Sex is the word Ma Yu, and Hu Yi has no official title, which is equivalent to admonishing him from the perspective of an elder.

From the moment he learned that Ma Yu wanted to show kindness to Chen Yichen, Hu Yi knew that he was destined to succeed.

The reason is nothing else. I tried it myself many years ago, but it was not successful at that time. How could Chen Yichen be inferior to others now?

Facing Hu Yi's advice, Ma Yu smiled bitterly. He didn't understand the truth, but many things didn't wait for anyone.

Since the tenth year of Zhengtong, he felt his body was strange and asked the doctor about it as a sign of a stroke. In the past two years, his physical condition has become more and more obvious, and Ma Yuzhen is worried that he will not last long.

Ma Yu saw the experience before and after Yang Pu's death. The Ming Yuanfu, who once controlled the most important minister of the court and the country, was awarded the title of the fifth-rank Dali Temple Chief after his death.
