Chapter 164: Court Rewards (Monthly Pass)

This sentence makes people feel very funny. Forgive... Grand Master?

Just as Wang Tixue was stunned, Chen Kaizhi said calmly: "Students say goodbye."

"You... Mr. Chen, listen..."

Wang Tixue wanted to say something, but Chen Kaizhi bowed and left without stopping.

Since you already understand that you are being used as a chess piece today, it is certainly not good to make this chess piece. Do you still want me, Chen Kaizhi, to thank you, the 18th generation? You dare not offend the Lu family, and you still have to pretend that you have a sense of justice, but use me, Chen Kaizhi as a gun envoy?

Chen Kaizhi left very simply, too lazy to listen to Wang Ti’s long-winded words, saying what big truths or telling the hardships.

When I left the temple, I saw that my uncle had been here for a long time.

Master Wucai said with a sad look: "Why have you been there for so long? These sedan chairmen are anxious and say that they have missed the work and have to pay more. Kaizhi, Master Wu has spent too much money on you this time, and he will die of poverty sooner or later."

Chen Kaizhi smiled at Master Wucai and said, "I'm worried about Uncle Wucai."

After getting into the sedan chair and parting ways with Master Wucai on the way, Chen Kaizhi went home directly.

But what Chen Kaizhi did not expect was that as soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw another person coming from the Prince's Mansion. The person sent to him urged: "Chen Sheng, please go to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible. The court has ordered him to come down."

The so-called imperial edict means reward, and imperial edict means an order issued by the palace; imperial edict means an order to announce the world, and the meaning of each word here is completely different. For example, this time it is an imperial edict, which is the reward issued by the palace.

Chen Kaizhi did not dare to neglect his neglect. This time, killing the salt thief was a great achievement, and I think the court would definitely make some contributions.

But...what will it be rewarded?

Chen Kaizhi got on the carriage specially prepared for him by the royal palace and soon arrived at the prince's mansion. He saw that Chen Dexing had already worn a python robe and a beam crown on his head. He had also ordered people to open the middle gate and wait for Chen Kaizhi to come with the eunuchs who announced the eunuchs.

Obviously, there is also a copy of Chen Kaizhi in this decree.

Seeing that Chen Kaiyi arrived, Chen Dexing said anxiously: "Kaizhi, come quickly."

Then he met with Chen Kaiyi.

The eunuch was wearing a red robe and was extremely polite to Chen Dexing. However, when he was reading the order, he just stood up and said with a voice: "The imperial edict said: Chen Dexing, the prince of Dongshan, and Chen Kaizhi, a student of Jiangning, made great contributions to the removal of salt thieves. He specially granted ten Dongzhu of the prince of Dongshan, to allow him to purify the salt affairs of Jinling; Chen Kaizhi, a student of Jiangning, had outstanding achievements and ordered the local government to commend him..."

After hearing this order, Chen Dexing was stunned for a moment.

His reward was quite generous. Although the ten Dongzhus were not worth much, it was of great symbolism for the royal family. He also ordered the Dongshan County Prince's Mansion to be responsible for salt affairs. This was also a favor of the court. The salt affairs in Jinling were too rampant. The Dongshan County Prince's Mansion to rectify the court can make the court worry-free. Moreover, the salt affairs are rich and the profits behind it must be a lot.

But...what about Chen Kaizhi?

Chen Kaizhi had to order local officials to express his respects, which meant he had no rewards.

Chen Dexing has a hot temper. He knew that the credit was mainly Chen Kaizhi's, and he was just a foil. He had always been accustomed to being arrogant and domineering. At this time, he rushed forward angrily, grabbed the eunuch's collar, and said viciously: "Unjust, what kind of imperial decree is this? Chen Kaizhi, the one who made the greatest contribution..."

The eunuch was startled and said tremblingly: "This...this is from His Highness Zhao's grass...this...this has nothing to do with slaves."

Chen Kaizhi did not expect that it would be just a commendation, but he was calmer than King Zhao. In fact, even if the imperial court rewarded him, what could he reward?

Your future is the imperial examination. Even if you are given the official position, you will be looked down upon by others if you are not an official who has come out of the imperial examination!

So he hurriedly stopped Chen Dexing and said, "Your Highness, please calm down, why bother with this father-in-law? This is not what he meant, he is just a person who passed on his life."

Chen Dexing said angrily: "King Zhao has always been praised as a wise king. Now I think this is the case. The rewards and punishments are unknown, and a wise bird."

The eunuch was so scared that he was so scared that he was frightened.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Students want to congratulate Your Highness. Your Highness takes over the salt affairs of Jinling. This is a treatment that other royal families have never had before. It is really gratifying."

"I would rather not." Chen Dexing said in anger: "It's ridiculous. How can I make any contributions? If you didn't think of a way to save my life, what kind of contributions will I have? If I want to submit a memorial, I have to argue with reason."

Chen Kaizhi grabbed him and shook his head and said, "Students are just scholars. The ambition is to study and study. In fact, even if there is any kind of reward, students will not be blessed to receive it. Your Highness, this is the imperial edict of the court, even if they fight, what's the use of a dispute? Your Highness did this to harm the students. If you don't know, you think that your Highness argued with the court because the students were instructing them behind the scenes."

"But... forget it like this?" Chen Dexing's eyes were as big as a copper bell.

Chen Kaizhi thought to himself that the world is so unfair. Since it was the decree drawn up by King Zhao, he seemed to have offended King Zhao because of the Goddess of Luo River. How could King Zhao give him a generous gift? On the contrary, it was Chen Dexing. I believe King Zhao must have hoped to win over the prince of Dongshan.

You should know that the salt and iron franchise has always been the main source of wealth for the court, so when it comes to salt and iron, the royal family is generally not allowed to intervene. After all, the local sect kings have already received good treatment, so how could they even hand over such fat people to the royal family to manage?

Of course, the situation in Jinling is special, and a large amount of private salt fills the market, which makes the official salt not sell at the price. This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, he gave Chen Dexing the opportunity to manage salt affairs, which not only sold the favor of the Prince of Dongshan, but also saved some trouble in the court.

Chen Dexing was still angry and sneered and said, "It's really cold to be so unfair. Kaizhi, I am regretting you. Why are you helping outsiders blame me? Alas."

Chen Kaizhidao: "Your Highness, the student is a person who accepts his fate."

"Um?"

"Students are used to suffering, and they know that they are poor and need to pay more than others to get anything they want. So today's things are unfair in the eyes of Your Highness, but for students, it is a common thing. Your Highness should not be angry. Now that the court has entrusted His Highness with a great responsibility, this salt service is an urgent task. Haven't your Highness ever thought about how to purify the salt service in Jinling?"
