The next day, looking at the refreshed Xia Jingyun and Feng Xiuyun quietly pulling up her bun, Su Yuanshang and others gradually understood the hidden meaning of the joy that day.
But they all already regarded Feng Xiuyun as Xia Jingyun's wife, and no one was surprised. On the contrary, they thought that Xia Jingyun kept such a charming woman by his side and kept silent. This determination was really shocking.
Looking at it now, I feel that he is similar to us, and I feel somewhat relieved.
Outside the gate of the Hou's Mansion, there was a huge crowd early this morning. Xia Jingyun was dressed neatly and was about to go out to the Hanlin Academy to report, but suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and then an old acquaintance walked in.
Jin Zhong walked in with cheerful steps and handed over his hand first, "Congratulations to Mr. Xia for winning three yuan in a row and achieving a great cause that will be remembered throughout the ages!"
Xia Jingyun hurriedly said humbly: "Eunuch Jin, you are too polite to come here today, but your Majesty has an invitation?"
Jin Zhong shook his head, then his smile suddenly faded and his expression became solemn, "Xia Jingyun, accept the order!"
Gongsun Jing immediately placed the incense table in person, and Xia Jingyun led everyone in the Hou Mansion to kneel down to listen to the order.
Jin Zhong took out the imperial edict, unfolded it and read:
"In the fourth month of the summer of the 24th year of Chongning, in Guichou, Emperor Chongning of the Great Xia issued an edict: I have heard praise for virtue and rewarded the best talents. The Hanlin Academy compiled and compiled Xia Jingyun. He was loyal to the emperor and defended the country. He worked hard and bravely, was clever and resourceful, and cooperated with the rebels. He was in Jiang'an and helped quell the chaos in Sishui. I highly commend him. I moved him to Taichang Temple to be the Prime Minister."
Xia Jingyun was confused. Promotion?
Are you promoted just after being awarded an official title?
Or did you directly upgrade one level to the fifth level?
After Jin Zhong finished reading, he looked at Xia Jingyun who was still in a daze and chuckled: "Master Xia, will you accept the order?"
Xia Jingyun just woke up from a dream, "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness!"
Jin Zhong handed over the imperial edict with a smile, and Xia Jingyun slipped a banknote from his sleeve skillfully as always, completing the transfer of wealth and the reinforcement of favors in a friendly atmosphere where you knew each other.
Sitting down in the main hall, Xia Jingyun looked at Su Yuanshang, looking a little confused, "Does this mean I should report to Taichang Temple now?"
Su Yuanshang laughed and said, "The cause of the past, the result of today, and the contribution of suppressing the rebellion in the past, your Majesty has not forgotten after all. Congratulations, Mr. Xia! Haha!"
Xia Jingyun pursed his lips, recalling the surprise that Emperor Chongning said that day, and rubbed his chin, "If you say so, why do I feel like you still have it?"
Su Yuanshang was stunned.
Just as he was talking, another palace servant came outside the door.
Xia Jingyun recognized that this was another adopted son of Gao Yi. He often waited outside the Imperial Study Room and Qianyuan Hall, and his status was even higher than that of Jin Zhong.
So, he also took the initiative to greet her and greeted her in a friendly manner.
The other party also smiled and said, "Congratulations to the number one scholar for winning three prizes in a row and achieving this great honor."
Xia Jingyun, as if he was familiar with her, held the other person's arm affectionately, "You're welcome, my father-in-law. My father-in-law rarely comes out of the palace. If you can come here today, if you don't want to say anything else, it's always necessary to have a good cup of tea."
The prince smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your kindness. But let's get down to business first?"
Then, just as Xia Jingyun expected, the prince's expression became solemn and he said, "Xia Jingyun accepts the order!"
Gongsun Jing hurriedly put out the incense table that he had just removed, and Xia Jingyun led everyone in the house to kneel down.
"In the fourth month of the summer of the 24th year of Chongning, in the fourth month of Guichou, Emperor Chongning of the Great Xia issued an edict: In ancient times, the rule of the saints depended on their virtuous ministers. Xia Jingyun, the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple, was loyal and pure in his aspirations, and was quick to investigate and act with keenness. It is enough to eliminate the poison of corruption. In order to meet the needs of internal funds, I highly appreciate it. I specially moved him to the position of doctor in the Cangbu Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I appreciate this."
As his words fell, everyone except Xia Jingyun was stunned.
Is this the fifth level?
How many people have walked half a lifetime in one day.
Such great love and such kindness, how many people will get pink eye?
Xia Jingyun bowed respectfully and said, "I accept the order!"
After saying that, he took the imperial edict with both hands and stood up, "Your Majesty, please come in and have some tea."
The prince smiled and said: "My servant is rushing back to recover! I won't bother you any more."
"Then I'll give it to you!"
Xia Jingyun took Eunuch Wang's arm and led him to the door. Naturally, when Eunuch Wang left, there was a five hundred tael silver note in his sleeve.
Returning to the mansion, Su Yuanshang smiled and congratulated, "Now Gao Yang has to report to Mr. Wei!"
Xia Jingyun smiled, obviously very happy.
He looked at Gongsun Jing, who was about to remove the incense case, and touched his chin, "Wait a minute, don't remove it."
Gongsun Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened. The joy in his eyes was full of disbelief, "Is there more?"
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "I guessed."
The hearts of Su Yuanshang and others couldn't help but beat wildly.
And Xia Jingyun's guess was indeed accurate.
After just a cup of tea, another person walked into Jiang'anhou Mansion.
Seeing the person coming, Xia Jingyun, who had always been calm and unfazed, couldn't sit still for a while, and immediately walked out quickly, "Eunuch Gao, why do you have to work so hard? If you have anything to do, Eunuch Jin can just go and go." !”
Gao Yi, the personal eunuch of Emperor Chongning, still had an unchanging kind smile on his face, "Master Xia, please do not harm this old slave. Your Majesty has given orders, and this old slave should be brave."
After saying that, his smile faded and his expression dimmed, "Xia Jingyun accepts the order!"
Xia Jingyun led everyone to kneel down for the third time today.
"In the fourth month of the summer of the 24th year of Chongning, in Guichou, Emperor Chongning of the Great Xia issued an edict: I will govern the world with public justice and unite all people with justice. Xia Jingyun, a doctor in the Department of Hubu and Cangbu, has pure intentions and is unyielding, even if he is wronged Although he worked bravely for the country, he was not afraid of complaints and slander, and the whole country was rid of the worries of the country. He was a loyal and good minister. How could he neglect his achievements and not commend them in order to favor his fate? He was specially appointed as a four-rank general council official, and also The imperial censor in the palace admires this."
Xia Jingyun was confused again. His Majesty's surprise was really such a surprise.
Moving three times in one day, I went directly from the sixth level to the fourth level.
Gao Yi smiled and said: "Master Xia, will you accept the order?"
Xia Jingyun raised his hands and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
After receiving the imperial edict, Xia Jingyun said a few polite words as usual, but Gao Yi naturally declined.
Xia Jingyun personally sent him out the door, but what was different from before was that he, who had always been quite friendly to these eunuchs, did not give Gao Yi any gifts for the first time.
Gao Yi didn't seem angry and walked out of the door happily.
Walking back into the hall, Gongsun Jing looked at Xia Jingyun and whispered: "Master, are there any more?"
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "Eunuch Gao has come out, who else can we ask?"
Gongsun Jing smiled awkwardly, and Su Yuanshang also sighed: "Moving three times in one day, this favor is too grand and cannot be added to!"
Amidst the congratulations, Xia Jingyun, who became a fourth-rank official of the Great Xia Dynasty in one day, was thoughtful.
When Xia Jingyun moved three times in one day, the news spread out quietly, crossing the fourth level and becoming a full-rank official.
For a time, the government and the public were shocked, and everyone was amazed.
