Chapter 224: Entering the palace to thank you (monthly ticket)

The next morning, it was the holiday at the end of the month.

On this day, not only Senior Brother Deng didn’t have to be on duty, but Chen Kaizhi didn’t have to go to school.

Chen Kaizhi was idle too. He got up early in the morning, had dinner with his senior brother, and hid in the room to study again.

When he entered the academy, the biggest gain was that the library books in the academy were vast and smoke. Chen Kaizhi borrowed a lot. Not only some essential books for exams, but also some ordinary miscellaneous books. He also borrowed them together, read them carefully, and kept them in mind.

During these days, Chen Kaizhi has been trying to find some traces of "Wenchang Tu" from ancient books.

Because logically speaking, since "Wenchang Tu" can be lucky and has such magical effects, there should be many books like Wenchang Tu in this world, but... Chen Kaizhi was very disappointed. After reading all the ancient books, he found nothing.

There was no trace of it.

The only thing that has been passed down is the myth of killing one person in ten steps in the ancient pre-Qin period.

But later on, such records became increasingly rare, so when the Great Chen Dynasty, these seemed to be non-existent. In addition to countless articles and historical materials, which boasted about the glorious deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao, it seemed that the so-called local luck art such as "Wenchang Tu" would disappear forever.

This... is so unusual.

Why doesn’t something that clearly exists?

Chen Kaizhi was a little surprised.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, which was Deng Jian's excited voice: "Kaizhi, Kaizhi, come and see, come and see."

There was surprise in his voice.

Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes in surprise. Did any happy events happen?

Chen Kaizhi quickly walked over to open the door, but saw Deng Jian looking happy outside the door.

He was holding a basket in his hand and said excitedly: "I'm lucky today, haha, I went to Dongshi to buy eggs. It was originally a two-month egg. Who would have thought I only bought five eggs, and the old woman who sold the eggs actually gave two more. Isn't this lucky? No wonder there were magpies shouting on the branches early this morning."

"Uh..." Chen Kaizhi looked at his senior brother who looked happy and looked happy with his head down and counting the eggs in the basket. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Damn, senior brother, you are a Jinshi at least, you are a Jinshi. What a fuck you are an official.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but say, "Is this egg bad?"

Deng Jian's face changed, and he quickly lowered his head, took out the egg and looked carefully, and said, "No, I see that old woman doesn't look like a treacherous person."

He said as he pinched an egg and sniffed it. A foul stinking came. Suddenly, the senior brother's face turned pale: "It's really unethical, ah, I'll settle the score with this evil woman."

Chen Kaizhi was afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Senior brother, pay attention to official etiquette."

Deng Jian beat his chest and stumbled and said, "The world is going down the wind, but people's hearts are not as good as ever, alas!"

Chen Kaizhi was also drunk and had to comfort him: "Senior brother, misfortune is the blessing of good fortune and the disaster is the burden of misfortune, so be mournful and follow the changes."

Deng Jian said angrily: "It's too shameless. If I can't, I have to go and find this evil woman."

He carried the basket and was about to leave in anger. Chen Kaizhi couldn't stop him and chased him straight to the courtyard. Deng Jian collided with a eunuch.

The basket was knocked over to the ground and the eggs were broken. Deng Jian had no time to look at people, but the conditioned reflex was like: "Oh, my egg, you knocked over my eggs and compensated me."

The eunuch rubbed his shoulder desperately. When the eunuch heard someone called to pay the egg, he thought he had come to do the emperor's mission. The pot actually came from the sky, and he angrily scolded: "Which one is Deng Jian?"

Deng Jian looked up and saw that it was an imperial envoy, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

There are no people coming to his courtyard at ordinary times, and they are deserted. Not to mention the envoy, even ordinary people with some identities rarely come.

Deng Jian was embarrassed for a moment, but Chen Kaizhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Deng Jian is a student senior brother."

Chen Kaizhi looked at the Qin envoy seriously and found that it was a familiar face...

Zhang Jing?

The Eunuch Zhang who was electing Junshi and had a relationship with him.

Although Chen Kaizhi saw that this person was kind, he did not recognize him. He thought that he was probably a little person in the eyes of the other party. So many days have passed, and he thought that the other party had already forgotten him, so why should he praise this stinky foot?

However, Zhang Jing's expression completely solidified.

It's Chen Kaizhi!

No, it’s Your Highness!

Your Highness lives here?

Zhang Jing has been looking for an opportunity to meet Chen Kaizhi in the school these days, but he knew very well that he had to have enough reasons to leave the palace without revealing any traces. What a sensitive person, King Zhao and others were, if there was any slight disturbance, it would inevitably attract his attention.

This risk is too great, and Zhang Jing dared not show any slightest flaw in any way.

But today, he was coming to the palace to read an order, but he unexpectedly bumped into Chen Kaizhi here.

His breathing began to be rapid, his pupils began to shrink, and his heart was mixed. It was obvious that Chen Kaizhi's expression was as normal, and Zhang Jing calmed down suddenly.

Taking a deep breath, I couldn't help but think in my heart, it turned out... Deng Jian is Chen Kaizhi's senior brother.

Zhang Jing tried his best to calm his mood, then smiled and said to Deng Jian: "Oh, what egg?"

"Ah!" Deng Jian was a little confused: "I... my egg... no, what the officials mean is that my father-in-law is here, what's the matter?"

Only then did Zhang Jing remember his duties. He looked stern and said, "Imperial."

As soon as he heard the order, Deng Jian became confused and hurriedly said, "The official will accept the order."

Zhang Jing looked at Chen Kaiyi deeply and said seriously: "Issue: Deng Jian, a resident of the Ministry of War, has written an article to challenge rebellion, has a brilliant literary talent, and demonstrates the prestige of the country. He ordered him to be appointed as a member of the Hanlin University and to be a member of the editorial position. He immediately went to the palace to thank him..."

Composition to discuss rebellion, selected as Hanlin.

Deng Jian raised his eyes and was shocked.

Become a Hanlin?

Although the Ministry of War is of the same rank as the Hanlin editor, it is not the same. The Ministry of War is a poor official, but the Hanlin is a star of tomorrow. It is like a minion from a ministry who suddenly entered the General Office of the Central Committee. Deng Jian's body trembled. How could he be so popular?

Yes, that manifesto, that manifesto written by Kaizhi.

His eyes were immediately confused and tears were about to fall out of his eyes.

Oh my God, I, Deng Jian, will have today. I thought that my greatest future in this life was to be able to be a chief in the ministry, or be lucky enough to be released from the government and become a county magistrate and prefect, who would have thought...

He said excitedly: "Since, thank you."

Zhang Jing had a subtle smile on his face. In fact, he was only responsible for passing on his life. As for letting Deng Jian enter the palace to thank him, he made a temporary decision.

Although it was a false edict, I could go to the palace to thank me for my gratitude. After all, I would be very surprised if the Empress Dowager knew about it.

He had a sudden inspiration and then asked: "Compiled by Deng, let's ask you, is this manifesto you wrote in person?"

"This..." This was written by my junior brother. Deng Jian understood in his heart that he felt embarrassed to admit it.

"Could it be..." Zhang Jing looked at his strange expression and said with a faint look: "Is anyone writing for you? No, we don't mean that, what we mean is, is there anyone polishing you?"

Deng Jian was confused. Damn, this father-in-law is so amazing. After a while, Deng Jian said, "Yes, it's my teacher..."

Seeing that it was going to be bad, what use would this kind of credit be for him? Only when the senior brother has an official position can he bring the benefits of this manifesto to the extreme, so he hurriedly replied: "I dare not hide it from it, it was written by the senior brother."

Deng Jian hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Chen helped to polish it one or two."

Zhang Jing was still smiling, but she was overjoyed.

He didn't care whether this article was polished by Chen Kaizhi. What he wanted was just an opportunity. Now the opportunity is obviously here.

Zhang Jing said: "The Empress Dowager loved this manifesto. Before leaving the palace, she explained that she had to let the essay person enter the palace to thank him. Originally, it was the editor of Deng who wrote it to the palace to thank him, but... Since your junior brother has also participated in the polishing, you might as well go to the palace to thank him."

Deng Jian said seriously: "My junior brother is still young, and he is afraid he doesn't know the rules. If he bumps into it..."

Zhang Jing did not give him a chance to refuse and quickly interrupted: "This is what the Queen Mother wants."

As he said that, Zhang Jing still turned around and returned to the palace without any doubt.

Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian were still standing there, but stared at each other for a long time.

Deng Jian took the lead in reacting and coughed, "Kaizhi, do you know the etiquette in the palace?"

At this time, Chen Kaizhi remembered the fact that he used to give gifts to the Xun family according to the rules in the book. But I guess the etiquette in the book is different from the etiquette in reality. Now that I am going to enter the palace, Chen Kaizhi was also surprised and couldn't help but say, "Please give me advice, senior brother."

Deng Jian said helplessly: "I'm just a helping hand. My senior brother doesn't know that he is a second-class Jinshi and is not qualified to enter the palace to thank him. Not to mention the empress dowager or the emperor, even the inner court has never been in."

Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized that... the senior brother is also a local bumpkin.

Looking at Chen Kaizhi's strange gaze, Deng Jian said unnaturally: "It's getting late, so it's better to enter the palace quickly."

Chen Kaizhi glanced at the broken eggs on the ground and couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, don't care about this egg?"

Deng Jian's body shook, twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally looked calm and gentle: "I am the Great Chen Hanlin, just an egg, what's the point! Don't mention this matter in the future. The old woman is lucky. I won't settle the score with her, so as not to hurt the national health."

Chen Kaizhi was amazed and thoughtful.

Deng Jian stared at him and said, "What are you thinking?"

Chen Kaizhi held it in for a long time before saying, "I was thinking that the change of my senior brother is comparable to turning a book. I should learn more from my senior brother."
Chapter completed!
