After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 308 Conditions
Everyone knows that the higher the official rank, the slower the promotion speed.

For example, if the normal speed of promotion from the seventh grade to the sixth grade is three or five years, then from the fourth grade to the third grade, it will take about ten to twenty years if you are lucky, and if you are unlucky, that is You can't get over this hurdle even if you work hard for a lifetime.

As for Chen Nianzhi, it only took him a mere seventeen months from entering the capital to becoming a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry.

When things developed to this point, Princess Zhenbei had already begun to regret it.

She regretted that she had not fulfilled her son's wish earlier, so that now every prominent family in the capital jumped out to compete with them for this powerful woman who seemed to have a bright future.

Chen Nianzhi was not yet twenty years old, so it was impossible for Yu Zizhen to entrust the entire Ministry of Industry to her, and with the speed of her "invention and creation", it was impossible for Yu Zizhen, who had clear rewards and punishments, to let her contribute to the country in vain.

So how will Yu Zizhen reward her when her rank can no longer be improved quickly?

Knighthood, this is almost the only answer people can think of.

That's a title. Who wouldn't want to have one more of that? They work hard, don't they want the perpetuation of their family and the protection of their descendants? But how many people in this world can really make extraordinary achievements and be granted a title by the emperor?

But now, they don't need to put in the efforts of several generations, nor do they need to produce a child or grandson who is extremely talented and highly valued by the emperor. They just need to ignore Chen Nianzhi's small shortcomings, and then find ways to get her. Come to your own home.

There are so many people with this kind of mentality. Yu Zizhen added a huge group of guards to Chen Nianzhi. Therefore, the main job content is no longer to ensure that Chen Nianzhi is not assassinated, but to ensure that Chen Nianzhi is not used by some people with ulterior motives. The dirty tricks were calculated.

For this reason, they also specially applied to Yu Zizhen for an old nanny who was experienced in palace fighting and asked her to help Chen Nianzhi identify those cold guns and hidden arrows wrapped in sugar.

Yu Zicheng also didn't expect Chen Nianzhi to be so popular. Mainly, although he admired Chen Nianzhi's uniqueness, he didn't know that Chen Nianzhi had always restrained his impulse to "invent and create" because he didn't have enough backers. He didn't really use all his abilities.

When she was entrusted with the important task by Yu Zizhen, she boldly began to stand on the shoulders of giants to carry it.

What she didn't tell Yu Zicheng was that Yu Zizhen actually planned to give the dividends directly to her at first, but it was she who resolutely rejected Yu Zizhen's proposal.

The little girl knows very well that just because of her ability and status, she is already dangerous enough. If she holds a large amount of money again, the number of open and covert attacks and various calculations she will face will be several times what it is now. Even ten times.

She didn't want to live like that, so she would rather give up a potentially large bonus.

This is why Yu Zizhen decided to gradually give her a hereditary title - since her treasury has swallowed up the part of the money she deserves, then she should naturally pay it back to her and her descendants for a long time. rice bowl.

It's just that her good brother may have a harder time holding the beauty back because of this. After all, a woman who already has a title, power and money, why should she have to serve a mother-in-law like Princess Zhenbei who is not easy to get along with?
Yu Zizhen thought it was not a big deal as he watched the excitement.

The development of the situation quickly proved Yu Zizhen's correctness. When Princess Zhenbei finally couldn't hold it any longer and angrily invited the official media to propose marriage to Chen Nianzhi, Chen Nianzhi announced her conditions for choosing a son-in-law to all the official media present. She had three requests in total.

First, her future husband-in-law, whether now or in the future, must not have a wife, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, or even children from a concubine.

Chen Nianzhi also specifically emphasized that even if she could not give birth to a child, her future husband would never break his promise on this grounds.

Second, after marriage, she will continue to serve as an official and will not return to the inner house, so her future husband's family cannot restrict her with the same rules that govern ordinary inner house women.

The third reason is that she will continue to live in her palace after marriage. The reason is also very simple. The servants and guards in her palace are basically given by the emperor, and the security measures are definitely the first outside the palace.

Chen Nianzhi said that although she was a little embarrassed to say so, her life was indeed "quite valuable" as certified by their beloved Emperor with his own seal.

Chen Nianzhi clearly told the official media that she could not leave the heavily guarded Shilang's Mansion and live in a strange place with complex personnel just because she got married. She could not do something so irresponsible to herself and the court.

The official media looked at each other in confusion, secretly feeling that the girl's request was as outrageous as "the one who founded and ruled our country was actually a female emperor."

Of course, they would never dare to express such rebellious thoughts, and they could not refute what Chen Nianzhi said. Her request to continue living in the Vice Minister's Mansion was not only responsible for herself, but also for the court.

It’s not that this girl doesn’t have self-awareness, she just said a truth that everyone knows.

But the reliable official media she carefully selected to help her agree to her three unorthodox requests did not dare to agree without permission. So after everyone exchanged a quick look, they all stood up politely. Farewell.

They were ready to wait until they got out of this door, and immediately informed the families who invited them to come here to talk about Chen Nianzhi's outrageous request, so that they could decide for themselves whether to marry such a deviant daughter-in-law as Chen Nianzhi.

As expected, those who were keen on the huge interests that Chen Nianzhi represented were very dissatisfied with Chen Nianzhi's three demands that they considered quite outrageous.

They subconsciously wanted to use the ancient ethical principles to suppress Chen Nianzhi, but when they heard the words "Your Majesty is doing so" relayed by the official media, they all suddenly became dumbfounded.

No one dares to argue with secular rules anymore. After all, the most unruly person in the world is their Majesty.

Compared with her, Chen Nianzhi's outrageousness is not worth mentioning, right?
No one dared to talk nonsense in front of the official media, and the official media were all sensible. After conveying the complete contents of their conversation with Chen Nianzhi, they all left.

As for whether to make compromises with Chen Nianzhi for the huge interests that Chen Nianzhi represents, that is something that each family should worry about and consider. The official media will not interfere blindly.
