Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 663 Thank you Ba Ba
Huangmenlang generally refers to the Huangmenshilang, and there are different types of Huangmen.

This is a very interesting official title in Qi State. Some people would rather not be the number one scholar, but would try their best to enter the Hanlin Academy and become a Huangmenlang.

Because Huang Menlang is a close servant of the emperor, he can convey the emperor's orders and can freely enter and exit the palace.

It is a very important position to have access to many court secrets.

However, this official position is important, but it is also useless. Some people may enter the Hanlin Academy and remain just a junior from the fifth rank for the rest of their lives.

Because there are many Huangmeng in the Hanlin Academy, there are currently 34 Huangmeng on standby in the Hanlin Academy.

But if you can get the emperor's favor and pass through the second-grade Dahuang Sect, it will be completely different. That is, you will be a real servant of the emperor, a big shot who can have access to the core secrets of the imperial court.

This official position will either remain unknown for a lifetime, or it will rise to the top in one step and then rise to the top. Therefore, Huang Menlang is an official position that countless people in Qi State want to get.

Zhou Ming and Liu Yanran naturally knew about it. After all, he was the prime minister's son, just as she thought.

In the past, Zhou Ming gave people the impression that he was just a douchebag, waiting for death, and bullying men and dominating women from time to time.

But now, because of his so-called meritorious service in national affairs, he has become a Huang Menglang of the Hanlin Academy.

That will definitely attract the attention of many people in the imperial capital.

Liu Yanran wanted to use Zhou Ming to tell these people that as long as they served the country of Qi, even a loser like Zhou Ming would have a chance to reach the sky in one step.

But judging from Zhou Ming's own ability, unless he Zhou Mingding came up with a system.

Otherwise, Liu Yanran would definitely make him remain a prostitute for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the official position of Her Royal Highness the Princess was not given casually. It gave Zhou Ming a chance to rise to the top in one step, but this chance was only slim.

But for Zhou Ming, or rather Song Qingyan, this was really pie in the sky.

Especially when the documents from the Ministry of Personnel and Liu Yanran's decree were delivered to the Zhou Mansion, everyone in the Zhou family was still confused.

"This, my lord, are you saying that my family can enter the Hanlin Academy and serve as the Huangmen Minister tomorrow?"

Song Qingyan couldn't believe her ears and stared blankly at the officials from the Ministry of Personnel.

The official nodded. Naturally, he did not dare to treat the Prime Minister's wife lightly and said respectfully: "Madam is right. Her Highness the Ninth Princess appointed her personally. Tomorrow, Zhou Ming will be able to take office at the Hanlin Academy. All the official uniforms and documents have been prepared. ”

"The Hanlin Academy has also notified us."

Song Qingyan immediately looked at Zhou Ming and was extremely surprised: "Why don't you kneel down tomorrow to thank His Highness for your support!"

Zhou Ming was still confused and quickly knelt down to take the appointment document.

The eldest young master Zhou Gui on the side was also very surprised, but as an elder brother he was quite happy that his younger brother could become an official. He was smiling from ear to ear at this moment.

After the official left, Song Qingyan couldn't wait to grab the document from Zhou Ming's hand and looked at the appointment.

She was so excited that she couldn't speak. It took her a long time to say: "It's really the appointment document of the Ministry of Personnel, tomorrow! From today on, you will be the Huang Menglang of the Hanlin Academy! This is really great luck!"

Zhou Ming frowned: "Now I'm an official? Then how can I do business with Ba Ba?"

When Song Qingyan heard this, she became very angry: "You fool! What kind of business are you thinking about right now? This is a good way to get to the top in one step!"

At this time, Zhou Gui said with a silly smile: "Third brother, I heard my father say that there are many Huang Mengmen in the Hanlin Academy. In fact, it is also a leisurely job. If there is no summons, you can do whatever you want after ordering. Something like that.”

"That's a good job!" Zhou Ming suddenly became excited when he heard this.

Song Qingyan's expression changed, she glanced at Zhou Gui, then looked at Zhou Ming and hummed: "Don't think so much, listen to me, just study in the Hanlin Academy!"

Zhou Ming had a headache for a while, but now he had some inspiration, "Okay, I know, Mom, I will definitely learn hard, but if it doesn't matter, I still have to do business with Ba Ba." "After all, this official is equivalent to money. Come, if you can send more money to the court, you will be promoted in the future."

"That's the truth. This happened thanks to Master Ba. I have to thank Ba Ba properly!"

Song Qingyan was filled with joy at this moment.

Zhou Gui said suspiciously: "Brother, Sanniang, what kind of domineering young master is this?"

"He's a good brother who partners with me."

Zhou Ming hurriedly introduced it to his eldest brother, and then looked at Song Qingyan: "Mom, why don't you treat Ba Ba to a meal?"

"That should be the case. Let's go to Zhenwei Building in the evening. Come tomorrow, put on this official uniform and let me take a good look at it."

While the Zhou family was rejoicing, Zhao Kang, who had helped Zhou Ming, took Nangong Long around the city of Shengjing.

Passing by the residence of the Minister of War, he stopped and said, "This one also counts."

Nangong Long quickly wrote it down, and Zhao Kang asked quietly: "How many are there?"

"There are 35 people." Nangonglong replied.

As he spoke, the old man couldn't help feeling a little emotional. When Zhao Kang went out for a spin, 35 people were on the death list.

The people he wrote down were all the targets they wanted to behead first when the war was about to begin.

These people are all important officials of the Qi State, either responsible for dispatching troops or horses, or responsible for the operation of military supplies.

Half of them are military commanders.

"35 people, let's write these down for now. Have you noticed any masters along the way?"

Zhao Kang asked with a smile, taking a bite of the sesame seed cake he just bought at the roadside stall.

Nangong Long raised his eyebrows and said: "There are really no places like these that we have selected. However, when I passed by the Imperial City before, I felt a few extraordinary auras. They should be the masters of the Qi Kingdom."

Zhao Kang sighed and finished the sesame seed cake as if he was swallowing a date: "When the action begins, you and Chen Jianghe must protect Lao Cao. In addition..."

Zhao Kang paused for a moment, and Nangonglong asked curiously: "What else?"

"There are several people who also need to ensure their safety."

Listening to what Zhao Kang said, Nangong Long nodded: "Don't worry, Imperial Master, leave this matter to me."

"Okay, let's go back then."

Taking another look at the residence of the Minister of War who was passing by, Zhao Kang couldn't help but grin. It must be a very interesting thing to see the heads of the Gongun princes fall.

The two returned to the shop.

The perfumes, soaps and wine that need to be auctioned have been sent to the auction house. At the moment, all the shops are selling is sugar and soap.

Because the soap has already gained a reputation, this soap is also extremely popular.

Priced at [-] taels of silver, there is a steady stream of customers, and it is obvious that these people regard it as a substitute for soap.

After a few days, one-tenth of the 5000 yuan soap was sold, earning a small 1000 taels of silver.
