Chapter VIII Commitment
Chapter 8 Commitment
His daughter Hongru was named the Imperial Concubine, and Chen Lingcheng, the father, was naturally also rewarded. He was originally a person who contributed a lot to the emperor. If he had not refused the rewards many times, he would have long since been a small deputy doctor in the Imperial Hospital. However, after Hongru's promotion, it would have been no longer suitable for him to stay in the small yamen of the Imperial Hospital. Therefore, the emperor's third-class marquis immediately entrusted him to the ranks of high-ranking officials and nobles. Everyone knows that the emperor favored Chen Lingcheng. Now that he has been awarded the title, the people who come to congratulate him almost broke the threshold of the small Chen Mansion. Fortunately, the emperor also gave him a servant to the mansion after the promotion order, Chen Lingcheng became a little more pure.
However, he could not refuse the colleagues of the Imperial Hospital. Chen Ruhai was the first to propose to celebrate him, and of course everyone agreed. In this way, Chen Lingcheng, who could not resist everyone, had to agree and set up a full ten banquet tables in the mansion, which allowed everyone from the Imperial Hospital to sit down. Even so, the huge flower hall was still full of crowds, and everyone's faces were filled with joy. After all, the difference between the Imperial Hospital and the Marquis was huge, and Chen Lingcheng had made a huge face for them this time.
Among the toasting people, the countdown doctor Chen Ruhai was the most attentive. He knew the close relationship between the emperor and Chen Lingcheng, and he also got a lot of benefits from it, so he made a lot of flattery and shouted that Chen Lingcheng couldn't bear it. "Mr. Shen, don't pay me anymore. The emperor's courtesy is true, but he still follows the etiquette. To be honest, I am not interested in the title of a marquis, and you don't know." Chen Lingcheng complained half-truth and half-falsely, then raised his glass in his hand and drank it all. "Today is just a discussion of the friendship between colleagues, so don't compliments, I can't bear it."
Chen Ruhai gave up when he saw this. He worked with Chen Lingcheng for many years and personally saw that he was promoted step by step from an inconspicuous imperial physician. Everything was dependent on the emperor's reign of the former Prince of Qin and the current emperor. If he really talked about favors and saints, Chen Ruhai could conclude that even an old minister like Bao Huasheng would definitely not be as good as Chen Lingcheng's companionship and support since the emperor was young. Therefore, he had already made up his mind to seize this opportunity. After all, the position of medical officer is over, but if his descendants can also go to the Imperial Hospital to inherit their legacy in the future, it would be a huge face.
While the cup was messy, some imperial physicians began to talk nonsense. Chen Lingcheng saw that it was really unreasonable and quickly signaled his servants to place them back, and the banquet naturally ended. Although his mansion was recently given by the emperor, the servants inside were carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were all very smart. Besides, Chen Lingcheng was not worried about someone monitoring his daily life, so he felt relieved to them.
After finally waiting for everyone to say goodbye and leave, Chen Lingcheng felt relieved. He raised his foot and went back to the study room. He was stunned. He saw Ming Jue standing alone, just looking at a painting on the wall to make a magical look. "Ming Jue, if you come in in the future, please let the servants report it? If I weren't quite brave, I would have to be scared to death by you!" Chen Lingcheng complained and sat down on his own, "That painting is just a fake, I'll use it to count. What do you think of it so magical?"
Ming Jue had heard Chen Lingcheng's footsteps, and he couldn't help but feel funny when he heard his questioning, but his face still had a cold expression. "If the emperor had not given the order, I wouldn't have the time to come to you late at night. By the way, I would call you "Marquis Chen" now." He suddenly smiled, and this rare expression almost shocked Chen Lingcheng's chin. Ming Jue said, "The emperor knew that you were a person who couldn't stay idle, so he sent me to ask. Now the Imperial Hospital cannot tolerate you, the marquis. Do you have any pragmatic plans in the future?"
Chen Lingcheng was really stunned this time. After a while, he shook his head and said, "The emperor is really considerate, but I am used to being idle. It is inappropriate to take a job to restrain him. If the capital is finished, I will continue to wander around. The emperor gave me a kind order to observe the wind. It just so happened to use this marquis of Luo Shi to suppress those dirty officials!" As he said, a murderous aura appeared on his face, "Of course, those so-called heroic and righteous guys are no exception."
Ming Jue listened at first, but when the other party's last words came out, his face became a bit complicated. Chen Lingcheng never mentioned his family background, and even the Imperial Hospital resume marked the death of both parents and his wife died of illness, without any other information. Now it seems that Chen Lingcheng had suffered some changes in his early years, otherwise he would not have been reunited. Even Hongru, the daughter, later recognized.
"Old Chen, it seems that the emperor is right to give you the marquis." Ming Jue said in a deep voice, "The emperor once said before that you are always unwilling to accept any reward, and it is puzzling that you are puzzling. This time it is the most refreshing. If you have grudges and revenge, you are revenge. This is how life is. You don't need to consider various factors like the emperor. If you can let go, just let go." He probably remembered the emperor's instructions before the journey, and added, "The emperor said that as long as it is not too much of an obstacle and is harmful to the law, you can do it. There is the emperor who will take care of everything for you. You have always known the right way to do it."
Chen Lingcheng did not expect that the emperor would have imagined it so thoughtfully, and he was shocked. However, he was a cunning person. After a moment, he focused and said, "I understand, Ming Jue, go back and thank the emperor for me. Over the years, the emperor still remembered the jokes from that year, and I already understood them. However, he still agreed to other people's promises back then, so don't forget." At this point, he couldn't help but smile, obviously thinking about the emperor's expression after hearing this.
Sure enough, after Feng Wuhen received Ming Jue's reward, his face immediately became amused and wailed. Chen Lingcheng followed him for many years, and both his wisdom and martial arts had to withstand many winds and rains for him, so he was rewarded with a marquis with a light reward. Unfortunately, some things could not be promoted, so he could only use the opportunity of being promoted to Hongru to reward him, but he thought in his heart that the other party could get his wish. It should be noted that the so-called marquis is a super-ranked official and no local official could control him. In this way, in some aspects, Chen Lingcheng could do whatever he wanted.
However, Chen Lingcheng's deliberate reminder would not be heard, but only refers to the two people who helped him from the beginning. However, Feng Wuhen knew that people like them had no idea about their ordinary wealth and honor, and the reason why they accepted it was just for the convenience of doing things. Chen Lingcheng's title and Hong Ru were a cover, so the two of them were in trouble. If they were rewarded randomly, the words would not be very nice. Feng Wuhen suddenly remembered Shi Zong's previous complaints, and his eyes lit up again. Only by just taking those people and horses into the court's command could he not have too many concerns.
Since he made up his mind, Ming Jue was naturally the one who came forward. However, this time, Shi Zong was also accompanying him. Since following Feng Wuhen, although Shi Zong has been taciturn, he has been very organized and cautious in his behavior. Feng Wuhen sent him to re-in charge of the spies. In the past two years, he has also made great progress and found many people from the cult. However, re-cultivating personnel is not easy after all, so Shi Zong is also in a daze. When the emperor mentioned that he could replenish his peripheral personnel, he would not mention his happiness.
However, from the first step to step into that yard, Shi Zong felt a little shocked. Before entering the palace as a guard, he had been hanging around in the world for a while, seeing the power of the so-called formation, so he never dared to underestimate it. Although he was born in a scholarly family, because he did not like studying since childhood, traveling became the main activity when he was young, and his footprints almost covered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Fortunately, he finally found a wise master, otherwise he would definitely be a slut. He followed Ming Jue to avoid mechanisms and felt more and more surprised. Although he knew about the master and other dark forces, he never thought of having such hidden skills. No wonder people said that they were hidden in the city. If it weren't for those who were interested, who would have thought that there was an extremely murderous intent?
Brother Lang couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Ming Jue bringing others to him. However, the few people around Feng Wuhen naturally turned their hand and immediately recognized Shi Zong. He exchanged a look with Cui Niang, feeling surprised in his heart. It is important to know that Shi Zong is now commanding the huge royal spy. What are you doing here? Ming Jue said Feng Wuhen's meaning directly, so he took out two gold waist cards from his arms and took a heavy bag from Shi Zong.
Although he had prepared for this day, Brother Lang still felt dizzy. The bag was filled with blank military appointments and waist cards, all in it. Although he was only a seventh-rank official, he was considered a military official, and the emperor's work was not bad. Ming Jue explained expressionlessly, and the two realized that this represented the leader of the spy teams everywhere. As for the two gold waist cards, they were clearly the things held by the guards in the palace. Although the title of the second-class guard was nothing in the palace, it could play a significant role outside.
Brother Lang played with the exquisite waist card and said for a while: "The emperor's intentions are taken by Caomin. If there is anything in the future, please ask Lord Shi to give me instructions." He handed the thing to Cui Niang beside him, and then he said with since then, "We are just Caomin. The emperor is now the 195th emperor. If you can still remember the past, Caomin is content. With this thing, the promise is to be completed by the emperor. If there is any order in the future, Caomin will do his best."
