Chapter 9: Edict

Li Shimin returned to the palace.

But his head was still drowsy, so he invited the imperial doctor to come and drank a bowl of quenching soup. The red face still did not fade. He couldn't help but say to Changsun Wuji who followed him: "This alcohol has great momentum, it's really amazing."

"Erlang." Changsun Wuji licked his mouth. To be honest, he really wanted to taste the wine.

"Chen Zhengtai is appointed Erlang as his teacher..."

"Hey!" Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that drinking is a mistake. If I drink again in the future, I will be unable to bear the responsibility of the lord. This is a lesson."

"This matter... cannot be mentioned to others."

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything.

Li Shimin lay on the soft collapse and touched his dizzy forehead: "Why don't you talk?"

"Of course I won't mention it to others, but I think that the Chen family is already clamoring for everyone in Chang'an now."

Li Shimin felt that his blood was rising, and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.

Li Shimin is always at ease when he holds a knife and dismounts his horse to govern the people in this life. But when he meets this shameless Chen family, he actually feels powerless as this group of people is all talented.

Chop them.

I said that I am narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others. Besides, Chen Zhengtai is just a child, and others must say that, look, you are a dignified emperor, what kind of hero is you, what kind of hero is you?

Pinch your nose and accept it.

Not willing to give up.

a long time……

Li Shimin sighed again: "It turns out that drinking is a mistake..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." An eunuch trotted in: "Your Majesty, General Cheng and Governor Yuchi asked for a meeting, saying that he brought a jar of good wine and would drink it with Your Majesty."

Li Shimin's face turned dark, and at this moment, he felt a feeling of drowsiness coming. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, tell them that I will not see them, and bring their wine, where to come from and where to go. Civil and military officials, and those who dare to drink, I will not spare me."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

"There is also the boy named Chen Zhengtai. When I remembered it, he kept saying that any Liang army would be killed by his generals. This boy was so irresponsible. I remember that he recommended Ma Zhou, so he would not be held accountable."

Li Shimin said this and said, "As for his father, Chen Jiye... this person is an old man from the East Palace, but he is idle all day long and will cause trouble sooner or later. He used to write articles in the East Palace to scold me. Is he a counselor now? Then I ordered him to be the salt and iron envoy of Chang'an, so that their Chen family would do something and not make trouble without trouble."

After sighing, Li Shimin's face softened: "As for Ma Zhou, he is really a rare talent. I will listen to his words, which is better than reading ten years of books. I have an imperial edict: I will entrust Ma Zhou to serve on duty in the province..."

...

The next morning, a yellow eunuch came to the Chen family to read the order.

Chen Zhengtai was also immersed in the good things that he had become the disciple of the emperor for no reason.

It has to be said that the Chen family's public opinion machine is still very powerful. As soon as the emperor left, the Chen family and the whole family had spread the news throughout every street.

This is called buying a decisive hand. You have to finish the cannon you made with tears in your mind.

Huh?

Why do I have such a dirty idea of ​​dating?

Why……

The ancients were a little rude and they ruined me.

When the eunuch arrived and read out the order, the Chen family was in an uproar again.

On duty service in the province...

Ma Zhou stood behind Chen Zhengtai and was shocked. He was a small official on duty, but he was just a 8 or 9 rank. However, the disciples were the center of the world. He had to enter the palace every day, and even the emperor could summon him at any time. He was in contact with military and national affairs.

In this way, this position is something that others cannot envy. As long as you work hard in the school and show more in front of the emperor, you will have to rise to the top and soar in the future.

But the most shocking thing was Chen Jiye.

Promoted.

From Yilang to Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy.

This salt and iron make the oil and water very rich...it is considered a first-class fat.

However, Chen Zhengtai reacted and saluted the eunuch: "Please reply, please thank me."

The eunuch nodded and looked at the salt and iron envoy from the Chen family and the subordinates on duty to serve.

The former is fat and oily, while the latter is extremely expensive.

He nodded with a smile: "Then, let's go back to the palace and report your life."

Chen Zhengtai waved his hand: "Let's wait."

The eunuch's eyes slanted and looked at Chen Zhengtai meaningfully.

Sure enough, the Chen family is still very sensible.

He said, "Let's go, most of the time, I'm going to prepare to give us a gift."

The eunuchs who declared the edict were actually very poor. Whenever they went out, they would often be filial to them.

So, the eunuch looked at Chen Zhengtai with anticipation and said, "I wonder what Mr. Chen has to give me advice?"

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Would Lishi do me a favor? Please ask Lishi to pass a sentence to my teacher on my behalf, saying that the students are at home and are grateful to their teachers every day and are always grateful. It is a pity that the palace is forbidden and cannot enter the palace at all times and listen to their teachers' teachings."

The eunuch looked at Chen Zhengtai strangely: "Who is your mentor?"

"It is His Majesty the Emperor."

The eunuch originally thought that Chen Zhengtai would give him some benefits, but who knew that he was asking him to pass on the message to others, and his face suddenly fell down.

But when he heard that Chen Zhengtai’s mentor was His Majesty the Emperor, his legs became weak and he was scared.

"Where... which emperor."

Chen Zhengtai raised his face and shouted: "Where are the emperors in the world? You are so brave and dare to slander my mentor?"

The next moment, the eunuch knelt down without possession: "I dare not."

"Go quickly, remember to bring my words to you. Oh, yes, I have another letter here, which is for my mentor, please convey it to Lis."

As he said that, Chen Zhengtai took out a letter and handed it to the eunuch solemnly.

The eunuch was as if he had been amnesty. He was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He accepted the letter and fled.

…………

Chen Zhengtai looked at the eunuch's back and sighed. It was really awesome to have an emperor as a master. Suddenly, his life was brighter.

When Chen Zhengtai turned around, he saw Ma Zhou bowing down: "You are..."

"My kindness is great, and the students...students..." Ma Zhou choked up.

Just a few days ago, he was a groom.

But now, he has become an official, and his life has experienced countless ups and downs. Now he is finally seeing the sun. All of this is thanks to Chen Zhengtai.

On the side, the third uncle's eyes were already straight. He experienced uneasiness. Now, looking at the hot Ma Zhou, who is now worshipping his nephew, was crying with gratitude, and his nephew even worshipped Li Erlang as his teacher. This...

Uncle San shook his body and a strange thought popped up in his heart.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but sigh. He knew that Confucian disciples like Ma Zhou were extremely enthusiastic about becoming an official. After all, they had been reading books for decades and were thinking about governing the country and pacifying the world. Now they finally had the opportunity to show their skills. They recommended him and completely changed his life.

Chen Zhengtai blinked: "I have a reluctant request."

"My benefactor, please tell me." Ma Zhouyi looked serious.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Can you help me take care of the pigpen after you get the money? I think you are better off. After all, I'm not at ease with the others."

Ma Zhou: "..."

He thought he had already jumped over the dragon gate.

Who would have thought...

With a tough bullet, Ma Zhou said, "Dare you not obeying your order."

No matter what, such a great kindness is nothing even if you raise pigs for your benefactor. Anyway, after the deposit, you have nothing to do.

......

Ma Zhou went to the pigpen again.

But father Chen and third uncle winked.

Chen Zhengtai only noticed them.

Father Chen and his third uncle muttered something in a low voice: "Uncle San, what do you think His Majesty meant just now?"

The third uncle stroked his beard and looked meaningful: "Oh, this...this is probably thanks to Zhengtai, our Chen family...Oh..."

His eyes shone, and he said several times, and then he said, "The Emperor's move is very meaningful. Think about it, why did the Emperor entrust you to be a salt and iron? You are an old man from the Eastern Palace. Why does such a good thing fall on your head?"
