Chapter 216 New Weather (Additional Update)
When leaving Shenzhou, Chen Heng and others did not bring much luggage.This time I was going from Qingniwa to the capital temporarily, so I could bring even less things.You must bring the documents prepared by Wen Yu and other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.In addition, there are only one or two necessary changes of clothes.

Xinda and Manager Xu hurriedly packed away two bags and saw Chen Heng coming in with several thick pieces of oil paper.

"What are you doing with them?" Liu Xianglian, who was eating fruit, was a little surprised. Apart from being waterproof, this thing was of no use at all.

"It's time to wrap up the documents." Chen Heng smiled and opened a bag of luggage, took Xinda and started wrapping up the books. He said in a relaxed tone, "This time, I am going to take a boat to the capital."

"What?" Liu Xianglian's eyes widened. "Didn't His Majesty give you half a month? We can definitely walk slowly along the way." Liu Xianglian, who had planned to take this opportunity to travel to great rivers and mountains, couldn't help but sigh. Lower face.He grew up in the capital since childhood. Although he often crossed the river by boat, he still couldn't help but feel frightened when he talked about the sea.

"You have to sit down once." Chen Heng smiled and didn't explain much to Brother Liu.He knew that as long as he made up his mind, the other party would never object too much.

Sure enough, Liu Xianglian scratched her head and compromised: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But first, if something happens on the way. Don't count on me... Although I can do martial arts, my water quality is very bad. .”

Hearing this, Xinda stopped what he was doing and mocked: "When you get to the sea, it doesn't matter whether you know how to swim or not." Among the three, he was the only one who had personally been on a sea ship from Yangzhou to the north, and he knew more about the terrifying power of storms and waves on the sea. at.

Seeing him saying this, Liu Xianglian, who could run and jump on the ground, became even more distressed.Chen Heng looked really amused, just smiled and shook his head, but decided not to explain his intention.

Everyone thought that he would take his time on the road and prepare his words to deal with the court's censure.But he decided to use a surprise weapon to catch him by surprise.You need time, and others need time too.Simply attack quickly and shorten the opponent's preparation time.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, but now I am in the dark.Although Gu Zaiyong is powerful, he is still in the Ming Dynasty.The enemy is overt and we are hidden, so naturally he cannot give Gu Zaiyong time to slowly collect his own information.

What's more, everything he does is centered around shipping.I can't make it to the end when I haven't even been on a sea ship.This matter is not convincing at all.

Seeing that Chen Heng had no intention of changing his mind, Liu Xianglian had no choice but to go out and look for the box.Since you are going to take a boat, it is safer to pack things in waterproof boxes.

On the second day, Chen Heng took them to have breakfast and then took a cargo ship to the capital.Today, there are only two types of cargo ships at Qingniwa Wharf.One is to Yangzhou, the other is to the capital.

"Brother Chen is so courageous."

Wen Yu, who came to see him off, glanced at the cargo ship and said to Chen Heng on the dock.He vaguely guessed that the other party would be in some trouble, but he really didn't expect that the other party would have the courage to go to the appointment eagerly.

"After I leave, Brother Lao Wen and Mr. Wang will have to take charge of the affairs of Qingniwa." Chen Heng saluted the two officials in front of him, one green and one blue.The latter is the magistrate of Yongkang County, and Qingniwa falls under his jurisdiction.

Mr. Wang is a local official, and because of his reputation as a civil servant, he was assigned to this corner of the country.He thought that Chen Heng's return to Beijing this time was a normal report of work, and his face still showed a bit of respect as if he had met a Beijing official.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely live up to my trust."

This is what local officials are like. Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they can feel at ease.It can be seen that when meeting people like Chen and Wen, it is always necessary to make friends and please them.

Chen Heng nodded to Wen Yu again before leading Liu Xianglian and Xinda beside him to board the ship.

It only takes three days to take a boat from Qingniwa to the capital, which is already extremely fast.Chen Heng was unlucky and encountered some waves and heavy rain along the way.

This frightened Liu Xianglian so much. The turbulent waves and the wild waves hitting the boat made Liu Xianglian think that she was in an endless hell, and she was in constant panic all day long.

Although Chen Heng grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, he was not familiar enough with the ocean.There is no way to sleep peacefully on such a troublesome night.Listening to the shouts of the boatman outside, he wisely decided to huddle in the room, huddled on the wooden chair with his arms and chest, closed his eyes and rested for the night.

Fortunately, it was a sunny day on the third day, considering that we would arrive in the capital in the afternoon.Chen Heng took the time to rest in the house. He was half asleep when Xinda came to wake him up and said, "Second brother, you can see the land now."

It was time to wash up, and Chen Heng got up from the bed immediately.After simply cleaning up, he followed Xinda to the deck.Liu Xianglian had been playing around here for a long time, dancing towards the horizon in the distance, looking happy to survive the disaster.

Chen Heng looked up and saw a black line spread out among the blue waves. Under the clear sky, there were several light beams shining through the white clouds and shining on the black line.The splendid scenery arouses people's awe and fascination.

With this feeling and scene shining on the road ahead, Chen Heng couldn't help clenching his fists in his sleeves.

Capital, I'm back.

…………

…………

After the talent got off the ship, Chen Heng went straight to the palace gate with the documents.The news of his arrival in the capital reached Linjing Hall.Li Zhi, who was still discussing matters with the ministers, was also surprised.He also didn't expect that Chen Heng would come back so soon.Didn't you just hint to this kid that he can take his time and prepare slowly?
Gu Zaiyong and Yan Hu noticed Li Zhi's surprise and guessed that Chen Heng's move was definitely not His Majesty's order.Although the matter happened in a hurry, the person involved was already impatient to come forward to kill him, so Gu Zaiyong naturally would not let this opportunity pass by.

An eighth-grade petty official, in the eyes of the chief minister, is just a small person with a lot of money in his hands.According to the normal procedure, as a civilian leader, he had the intention of holding people accountable. Chen Heng should put on his official robes and go to the cabinet to listen to the instructions honestly. There was no need to go in front of Li Zhi.

Chen Heng came so quickly and suddenly.Although Gu Zaiyong was a little surprised, it was not a problem for him.

"Tell him to wait outside the cabinet."

This is the power that a chief minister should have, and it is also the benefit of a high position.Sha Xiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but frown, "If you really ask my men to wait outside your door, how can they be left behind?"He is not familiar with Chen Heng, so he is worthy of being a great Sima.Let Gu Zaiyong ride on his head, pee his shit, and knead his subordinates. How can he manage the Ministry of War well in the future?

Sha Xiang was about to retort, but Li Zhi stepped in and said, "He's already here, so let him come to me. Let me hear how he plans to explain."

Gu Zaiyong was not surprised by this. He had expected that Li Zhi would be a deviant.It's unnecessary, just to cast stones to ask for directions.Prepare for the next confrontation and explore each other's background.

Not only was he present today, but there were also six ministers, Lin Ruhai from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Ziteng from the Fifth Army Soldiers and Horses Division, and others.It can be said that the core people of the entire imperial court were all present.

Such a group of people floating in the sky gathered in Linjing Hall, naturally because of the trouble caused by the canal work on the river.Prince Li Xian had just heard their argument and was very nervous.Now, while Xia Shouzhong went out to summon Chen Heng into the palace, he could take a breather.

Li Xian's eyes scanned the faces of all the adults, and he saw that all of them looked normal and calm.It makes people think that they were not the ones who just made a big fuss.

After waiting for a while, the palace official's voice came from outside, "Chen Heng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, kindly requests an audience."

"Xuan."

Li Zhi nodded, and Xia Shouzhong, who returned to his original position, shouted hurriedly: "Xuan——"

Two red doors that were several feet high opened gently. Chen Heng, dressed in green robe, stepped across the threshold and walked quickly forward and backward. Then he released his hands holding the robe and saluted, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Exemption."

"I have met you sirs." Chen Heng saluted the ministers in the palace again, but the latter only nodded.In this room, the only person who can say no courtesy is Li Zhi.

Straightening up again, Chen Heng glanced at the venue.Gu Zaiyong was seen sitting alone under Li Zhi's right hand, while other ministers were standing on the left and right.It seemed that Li Zhi's side was naturally more lively. Opposite Gu Zaiyong were the Minister of War, headed by Prime Minister Sha, Wei Yinghong, the Minister of Rites, Wen Shiqian, the Minister of Hubu, and Lin Ruhai, the censor of Zuodu.

Gu Zaiyong was accompanied by ministers from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Industry.But these two people are veterans of the two dynasties, and their style of dealing with things is impartial and will not offend either.What is intriguing is that Wang Ziteng actually stood behind Yan Hu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. I wonder if this was a political signal.

"My dear friends, please take your seats."

There was an extra green-robed official present, and it was obviously not in line with the court etiquette and the dignity of all officials to have the six ministers stand together.Li Zhi spoke, and all the officials followed his instructions and took their seats. Chen Heng was the only one left standing in the hall.

Li Zhi looked around and saw that everyone was talking about the canal work just now. The person who was going to discuss it now came to the door in person, but no one was willing to speak.Li Zhi knew that Gu Zaiyong was waiting for him.He thought for a while and then asked Li Xian to come out and send the message.

Seeing how much trouble this matter has caused, I have to ask the prince to report it.Chen Heng and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, lowered their heads and hunched over to listen to the instruction.

This matter is not complicated to say the least. It is nothing more than the opposition of the water workers as vested interests to the emerging thing of maritime transportation.For the low-level workers, it is useless to talk to them about any big principles.After the rise of maritime transport, it can also stimulate and feed back to water transport.These medium and long-term benefits are not as practical and reliable as three dishes and one soup in the short term.

Nowadays, it is only the water workers in Beizhili, Shandong, northern Jiangsu and other places who are causing trouble. We really need to unite millions of water workers.No one in the world can bear this price.

After Li Xian finished recounting the old party's method of stopping shipping and settling the matter.Before Chen Heng could nod his head, Li Zhi had already asked: "I asked you to go to Shenzhou to help Prince Zhongshun manage the border market in Beidi. How could you be so ignorant and ignorant that you commit such a wrong thing?"

Although Li Zhi scolded him harshly and got angry, one typo caused Chen Heng's incident to be an unintentional mistake.

Upon hearing that Li Zhi was busy characterizing the matter, Gu Zaiyong, knowing that His Majesty wanted to reduce the big issue to a trivial matter, immediately added, "Chen Chixing, do you know your guilt?"

One uses 'wrong' and the other uses 'sin'.Comparing the two, the meaning is self-evident.

This is to put a hat on one's own head. Regardless of whether the answer is yes or no, it will fall into the other person's context.This was the first time that Chen Heng faced such criticism from an official. Even Lin Ruhai, who accompanied him day and night, became worried for his student.

In this world, there are many vulgar people who are eloquent in private but get confused in advance.

The first time he had a conversation with the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Chen Heng was naturally nervous, but his mind was still clear. He just said in a low and respectful voice: "I beg the Chief Minister to make it clear."

He chose to jump out of this question and continue to talk to Gu Zaiyong.If you, a genuine chief minister, want to teach a petty official like me a lesson, just say it.

The opponent moves first, and then you can break the move.When someone comes up and yells that I am guilty or that I have been wronged, that is not like having a bludgeoning bullet in my head - I am looking for death.

Seeing that Chen Heng was not eating, Gu Zaiyong raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: He is indeed the little fox taught by Lin Ruhai.

"Because of your own selfishness and greed for power, you caused trouble in the canal work. Now it has caused shock to the country. Even if you open ten more shipping routes, it will not be enough. Chen Chixing, you still don't know your crime?"

The words sound simple, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand Gu Zaiyong's sinister intentions.He placed the benefits of shipping with the stability of the country.This is to replace two things that should be in harmony with each other with opposing concepts, thereby wiping out the benefits brought by maritime transport.

Chen Heng had never felt that his brain was moving so fast. At this moment, not only was his heartbeat beating wildly, but even his palms and soles began to sweat due to the accelerated blood flow.

As soon as Gu Zaiyong finished speaking, Chen Heng deliberately slowed down his speaking speed and thought as he spoke, "I have one or two things that I don't understand. Please ask the Chief Assistant to clarify the confusion himself."

"Ask." Gu Zaiyong further forced Chen Heng with the momentum of a first-grade official.In an attempt to make this young man lose his temper.As long as this guy is persuaded, the old party can completely take the initiative in this matter.

At this time, Chen Heng had already thought of a countermeasure and immediately asked aloud: "I wonder if the wages for August and September in the imperial court are sufficient to pay to the canal workers." "Of course there is." The person who came out to answer was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Wen Shiqian, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs.At the end of his words, he added, "We spend millions of taels on them every year. If we are one day late or a little short, it will be a headache."

These words not only give the household department an impression of hard work and merit, but also further clarify the whereabouts of the national treasury.At the same time, in the dark, he was faintly waving flags and shouting to Chen Heng.The Minister of the Ministry of Finance has good intentions.

Gu Zaiyong also looked at the young man who asked the question, and saw that the other party continued to ask, "Did the water transportation in August and September take the sea route, or the frequency of water transportation was less than usual."

"Nothing." It was rare for someone to ask about state affairs, so Sha Xiang said cheerfully.The so-called millions of water workers include not only the people who make a living along the river, but also the officers and soldiers who are stationed and managed.These people are usually responsible for escorting grain, grass, and tax money.In his spare time, he would also attract some customers to earn some extra money.

Wang Ziteng is the largest military attache in the court now. After Sha Xiang finished speaking, he also said aloud: "The situation of water transportation in the past two months follows the old rules and is as usual."

Gu Zaiyong immediately realized that something was wrong, but Chen Heng had already set up cannons on the border between Chu River and Han Dynasty, and immediately said in a strong voice: "Since there is no money, there is no matter. The court itself has not made a decision to change the canal into a sea. I am really honest. I don’t know what the intentions of the watermen causing trouble on the river are.”

Gu Zaiyong played with him by secretly switching concepts, and Chen Heng also played with him.In a few words, he took off the hat from his head and put it on the court.

You keep saying that I caused trouble in the water works.But it was the imperial court and the ministers and lords who were talking directly to the Cao Gong.Since you didn't apologize to the river water workers, when they started making trouble maliciously, they were not slapping me in the face, they were slapping you in the face.

This guy named Chen has such a sharp mind and tongue.

The adults present here thought so in their minds, and there were inexplicable expressions on their faces.Among them, Lin Ruhai was the happiest, but he had to keep a serious expression on his face, which made him even find it subtle and interesting.

Wonderful, Li Zhi felt happy when he heard it.He also heard another layer of meaning in Chen Heng's words. Previously, everyone had characterized the canal work as a public boiling point.Now when I hear it, the troublemaking water workers have become greedy and insatiable rioters.

Such a difference, the methods and attitudes that can be used are completely different.Li Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his pleased eyes jumped from Chen Heng to Gu Zaiyong, and asked: "Master Gu, what do you think their intentions are?"

Your Majesty, you really know how to add insult to injury.Before Chen Heng had time to be happy, Yan Hu had already said: "The evil words are misleading the public." This old man is very old and has a really bad temper. "According to what you say, the tens of thousands of water workers who are causing trouble now will all be killed." Treat them as chaos... and the people cannot do it? Why, do you still want to send troops to arrest them all and take them to the Criminal Department to question them one by one? "

After hearing Yan Hu's words, Chen Heng knew that he had achieved a small victory.The nature of this matter has changed from boiling public resentment to greed.The difficulty now is that there are so many people on the other side that it is easy to deal with them.

Since ancient times, the law has not punished everyone. Especially for Dayong, which has a vast territory, maintaining stability must be given priority in everything.Stability is more important than anything else. At this point, no matter how much Li Zhi is devoted to the New Party or Chen Heng, he will not lose his purpose.

This Jiangshan's surname was Li, and he, Li Zhi, was the emperor of Dayong and the one who truly held power.

How could Chen Heng not know this? His speaking speed has increased slightly now.Start laying the groundwork for future ideas. "I would like to ask your lord, I wonder what the canal workers want."

"Food and clothing depend on it." Yan Hu snorted coldly.This is a cliché.Using this word is nothing more than saying that Cao Gong is worried about his own life and is secretly preparing to expand his problems later.

"If this is the case, then let the water workers have no worries about food and clothing. This matter will naturally be solved." Chen Heng replied immediately.

You are a good boy, you have no hair on your mouth and you only know how to speak beautiful words.Just as Yan Hu was about to speak, Chen Heng had already taken out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it to him: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

His prepared look immediately made Gu Zaiyong and Yan Hu's eyebrows jump.Li Zhi was a little surprised, but also full of expectations, and asked Xia Shouzhong to take the coupon, under the watchful eyes of Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai.Li Zhi looked at it happily for a long time, and then his expression gradually turned hesitant.

After a while, he asked Xia Shouzhong to hold the folder and motioned for him to show it to the ministers.After Lin Ruhai finished reading, he discovered that Chen Hengti's idea was to establish a separate yamen in charge of shipping, and then select suitable candidates from among the canal workers to take charge of future shipping.

This is a strategy to divide the troops. Since the opponent has a large number of people, the crowd inside will be screened.Those who can be co-opted will be co-opted, and those who can be divided will be divided.The last remaining group of die-hards are not that numerous, and they can be freed up to deal with them slowly.

The original waterworks were partially transformed into offshore works.What follows is a showdown between old and new interests.When the time comes to deal with these people, you won’t have to take action yourself.

Furthermore, the benefits of doing so.The relationship between millions of canal workers and maritime transportation is no longer a rivalry, but has become a symbiotic relationship.Even when Wang Ziteng saw it, he opened his eyebrows and felt that this method was very clever.

Yan Hu didn't care about this matter. He was in charge of the personnel department and could see the benefits of creating multiple yamen out of thin air at a glance.Everyone has their own interests to consider. The old party seems to be united under the chief minister Gu Zaiyong. On the surface, it makes a fuss about the canal work, but in essence it wants to use this to curb Li Zhi's financial path.

But when Chen Heng put the idea of ​​a new yamen in front of him, Yan Hu, as the official secretary, no longer disagreed with the plan and could not disagree with it.From this moment on, his and Gu Zaiyong's ideas had quietly diverged.

No one can betray his own interests. The mountain chief once taught him that the power of the six ministers comes from His Majesty, and even more from the officials under his name.Officialdom has always been a dojo inside a snail shell.Everyone has their own calculations.There are many people who are similar in appearance but different in spirit, few who are like-minded, and those who share the same heart and virtue... ugh.

"No." Gu Zaiyong hurriedly retorted, pointing to the specific content in the document, "The watermen spend only a few dollars a month on the river, and they cost one or two taels of silver when they reach the sea. Your Majesty, this is to drink a dove to quench your thirst. Method. Within ten years, the court will surely suffer the disaster of Jiajing in the previous Ming Dynasty."

It's still the familiar formula of 'if you want a country, you still need money'.But this time after Gu Zaiyong finished speaking, Wen Shiqian unexpectedly helped: "Your Majesty, this matter must be carefully considered."

He said this to save Chen Heng face.If this kid didn't spit on his face, he would be giving face to Li Zhi and Lin Ruhai.Who are you, do you know how much money your family has?You dare to spend money so randomly. I have managed to manage the property with great difficulty, but I can't let you lose it.

You must know that the increased financial difficulties caused by these water workers going to sea will be blamed on their household department.There is only so much money in the national treasury every year, and all ministries and departments wait with their mouths open.The national treasury is really difficult to maintain, so how can it still promise huge profits to quell the people's troubles.It's like taking off your pants and farting, it's unnecessary.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Heng, who was the only one standing in the hall, and said secretly: You kid can't be so crazy, just care about your head and not your buttocks.

"Your Majesty, I have an instruction book."

With the same words again, Chen Heng took out a document from his right sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Probably because this scene was so interesting, Li Zhi laughed subconsciously and didn't even bother to look at Xia Shouzhong.The latter himself hurriedly trotted forward to take it. After Li Zhi finished reading it bit by bit, he said excitedly: "Come on, come on, all my dear friends, take it and take a look."

The contents of the document are simple to say.It was Wen Yu and other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who calculated the total value of goods shipped from Shenzhou within two months, and also listed the data of Qiupu Street in Yangzhou.The following data content is first-hand information sent by sea.Chen Heng rushed to Qingniwa without any trouble, just for this thing.

No one knows the meaning of these data better than Wen Shangshu, who is in charge of the Ministry of Accounts.The steward of the Great Yong Dynasty thought about the accounts carefully in his mind, and immediately said happily: "If this is really possible, as long as it is not a sign of a large number of water works, this matter can be done."

Hearing the boss nod, Chen Heng stepped forward and added: "Everything on the document has been personally verified by officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and verified to be correct. Da Situ can see it if he flips it back."

Wen Shiqian turned to the back and saw the names of officials in his ministry.Seeing that his nephew's name was also on it, he felt even more relieved. He smiled and nodded from time to time and said, "Your Majesty, please request that the Ministry of Household Affairs take charge of this matter."

Li Zhi did not agree immediately. He only chuckled lightly, looked around at the people in the venue, and said proudly: "My dear friends, what do you think?"

Except for Gu Zaiyong, whose face was livid and silent, no one, including Yan Hu, uttered a rebuttal.This way, the Ministry of Revenue gets money, and the Ministry of Officials gets a department that can be deployed.Millions of water workers will be gradually divided, attention will be diverted, and even the public grievances will be easily settled.Both the old and new parties have benefited, so there is no way to say 'no'.

Your Majesty, you are too proud.Lin Ruhai was worried about causing unnecessary trouble to Chen Heng, so he immediately said: "This matter is serious and needs to be considered in the long term. Your Majesty must not act blindly and listen to the words of one minister."

This was his duty as a royal censor, and Li Zhi also knew that it was not appropriate to take Chen Heng with him when discussing details.He just wants everyone's attitude, and no one will refute him, let alone make a decision directly on the spot.The necessity of process is also a means to maintain the country.

"Chen Qing."

"The minister is here."

"Go and wait outside first, don't run around." The second half of Li Zhi's boring instructions really made everyone else grit their teeth after hearing it.

Chen Hengshang was confused and didn't understand why he was left in the palace since he had nothing to do with him.Lin Ruhai looked at his stupid look and couldn't help but shake his head.This bastard can't see that His Majesty wants to reward him with an official position.

He followed Xia Shouzhong out of the main hall and found a place to rest in the side hall.The eunuch next to Li Zhi personally brought a pot of tea and said in a friendly manner: "Master Chen, please sit here for a while."

"I dare not bother you, sir." Chen Heng stood up quickly, took the teapot, and walked away from Xia Shouzhong for a few more steps before returning to his seat and sitting and waiting.This wait lasted about half an hour.Chen Heng just waited until someone came to inform him. He quickly packed up his official robe and returned to Linjing Hall.

"Chen Heng listens to the order————"

When the person involved heard this, he immediately bent over and bowed.First, after listening to some words of praise for himself, Xia Shouzhong finally said: "...promoted Chen Heng to the Sixth Division and gave it to Shizhong."

Chen Heng, who was bending over, was deeply surprised. He did not expect that Li Zhi would be promoted, let alone such a low-ranking position as the Sixth Section.

Among the six departments, the six departments are ordered to supervise, which can be regarded as the most powerful department.Although the powers overlapped with those of the imperial censor, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still included in the imperial system and still needed to be accountable to the cabinet above.

The Sixth Section was only responsible to Li Zhi, and his immediate boss was the emperor himself.To a certain extent, it can be said that the censor supervises all officials, and the Six Sections are responsible for supervising the censor and officials for Li Zhi.

When he heard the word "Excuse me", the green-robed official hurriedly bowed back and said thanks: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

After going out again, Chen Heng, who was newly promoted to the household department, waited in the side hall for a while, and a palace official immediately sent him a set of brand new blue official robes.

This thing definitely cannot be replaced now.Chen Heng had no choice but to put away the tray and thank the palace attendants for their hard work.It was still early, and Li Zhi had no idea whether he should leave or stay.Chen Heng, who looked confused, was waiting in the palace with his official robe in his arms.Perhaps the promotion came too suddenly, and he became a member of the Sixth Section in a blink of an eye, which even made him a little unbelievable.

He waited until Lin Ruhai came out and came to find him.Chen Heng then realized that the time had reached the end of Shen Shi.The two masters and disciples came together, and then the same joy appeared on their faces.

"Well done." Lin Ruhai couldn't help but nodded, and then took the student's hand and said, "We'll talk about it when we get home, we'll talk about it when we get home. Hahaha, let's have a drink with my teacher today."

"Yes."

…………

…………

Lin Ruhai didn't talk much along the way until he left the palace gate.He only looked back at Chen Heng holding his official uniform from time to time, and kept laughing to himself.

Liu Xianglian and Xinda, who were waiting outside the palace, were very puzzled when they saw that their brother came out wearing a new set of official robes after entering the palace gate.

If it weren't for Lin Ruhai sitting nearby, they might have pulled Chen Heng on the spot to ask him the whole story.After finally getting on the carriage, Chen Heng and Lin Ruhai entered the house.Jia Min, who had learned about Chen Heng's return from Manager Xu, was busy asking the chef to prepare more dishes.

Like Daiyu, she didn't know about Chen Heng's promotion.

　Hahahahaha, good, good, good.With a little addition, it will soon be [-] words. I originally wanted to continue writing, but I'm hungry, so I'm going to have a meal first.
