Prince of Chaos

Chapter 229 Incentive Award
The three eulogizing memorials were like depth charges. Before the officials could figure out what was going on, a decree of the Emperor Wanli's award was issued from the Qianqing Palace.

The person who announced the decree was Sun Xian, and Sun Xian came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in full swing.

The chief censors of Zuodu Yushi, Qiandu Yushi and other censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate saw the arrival of Emperor Wanli's decree, all of them couldn't help but look forward to it, thinking that their advice was approved by Emperor Wanli, and thus received It won the honor of Emperor Wanli's direct award from Zhongzhi.

The current Zuodu censor is called Xu Zuo, a Jiangxi native, the 41nd and 9th Jinshi in the Renxu Imperial Palace Examination in Jiajing Jiajing [-], and he is a typical academic master.After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he finally reached the pinnacle of his life and became a respectable top official in the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Zuo heard the people below say that when Sun Xian, the great eunuch next to Emperor Wanli, came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to announce the decree, Xu Zuo's excited goatee began to twitch slightly, but Xu Zuo was still very strong in his face. of.

He said to his subordinates indifferently: "Fan Wenzheng in the Northern Song Dynasty once said: 'Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself'. As the censor, we naturally have the responsibility to help the community and admonish the holy emperor. Therefore, the emperor gave We just need to accept the grace of the emperor humbly. In the future, we will make persistent efforts to speak for the emperor."

After Dong Qichang heard Xu Zuo's words, he immediately got up and said: "The words of the general constitution are like mountains and rivers, and the officials have benefited a lot from hearing them. From now on, we must keep in mind the teachings of the general constitution today, and be like the general constitution. An iron bone censor who advises."

Xu Zuo looked at Dong Qichang, and he said with a smile: "Xuanzai, you are now the imperial censor in our capital procuratorate. Speaking of which, everyone is our own. I heard that you are both excellent in calligraphy and painting, and I But I have never seen it. How about this, when the palace comes to proclaim the decree, you will firmly remember the picture of the decree, and then draw a picture of the holy emperor accepting advice, okay?"

Dong Qichang's expression looked better all of a sudden, do you really want to draw it?

Although Dong Qichang didn't know what the imperial edict was, he could guess that the imperial edict was definitely not for Xu Zuo and the others.

Therefore, if you really want to paint, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be ashamed and lose a lot of money.

Dong Qichang hastily declined and said: "The qualifications of the lower officials are dull, not as good as the Eleventh of the General Constitution. If I let the lower officials to paint, I am afraid that I will fail the painstaking efforts of the President."

Xu Zuo said: "It's okay, I believe in you. You can just paint."

Dong Qichang couldn't resist the warm invitation from his superior, and finally had no choice but to reluctantly respond: "Your official will do his best."

And at this time, Sun Xian arrived.

Xu Zuo hurriedly brought out the censors, big and small, from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to meet him.

However, Sun Xian turned a blind eye to their courtesy.

Sun Xian asked Xu Zuo directly: "Xu Zongxian, are Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Xu Zuo was stunned by Sun Xian's question. Who are Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian?Is it the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?I have never heard the names of these three people.

Xu Zuo looked at Sun Xian suspiciously and asked, "Eunuch Sun, who are these three people you are talking about?"

Sun Xian was happy, and Sun Xian said: "Of course you are all the censors in the court. Our family has obeyed the emperor's order, and we are going to announce the decree to these three censors. Hurry up and find the three of them." .”

At this moment, Xu Zuo and others were stunned. It turned out that Emperor Wanli's imperial decree was not for them, but for three unpopular censors who had never heard of it.

Xu Zuo's face was a little ugly, but he still had the bearing of a second-rank official. Xu Zuo immediately turned to the subordinates behind him and said, "Hurry up and get Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian."

The Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly became lively. There are more than 100 censors, and there are only a few names that can be remembered by people. Most of them are autographed players who accompany the runners, just like transparent people.

At this time, it was a bit embarrassing to find these three censors by name.

For a while, none of the senior officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate knew who Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian were?It's really off the charts!
However, as long as these three people are registered censors, they can still be found in the roster of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Finally, after a careful search by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian were finally found.

But at this time, the three of them were still asleep and sobered up in their respective homes.However, how can the imperial decree of Emperor Wanli wait like this?

So, Xu Zuo immediately had a fit, and Xu Zuo said: "Go and get these three people back to me. It's already three poles in the sun and they haven't come to work in the Yamen. What do you want to do?"

Dong Qichang hurriedly stood up at this time, and said to Xu Zuo, "Calm down the chief constitution. I am willing to bring these three people back for the chief constitution."

Xu Zuo looked at Dong Qichang who was so sensible, and the anger in his heart finally subsided a little, and then he thought that Dong Qichang was the crown prince's teacher, so Xu Zuo said kindly: "Then trouble Xuanzai to work hard."

After Dong Qichang received the errand, he immediately went to the residence of Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin and Li Dexian.These three people rented a private house in the north of the city, and they had to turn sideways to get in if they wanted to go in. The three censors were really poor.

A good official of the imperial court lived in such a desolate place at the feet of the emperor. It can be seen that the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be so easy to do.

However, these are not the point.

After calling these three people up.

Dong Qichang congratulated them immediately.

"The three elder brothers are overjoyed. The emperor saw your son last night. Today, the emperor specially sent Sun Xian, the chief eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies, to announce Jiajing in person. The days of the three elder brothers' prosperity are not far away."

After hearing Dong Qichang's words, Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian immediately woke up from the wine.

They didn't have the slightest joy of being rewarded by the emperor, and some were all frightened.

The timid Zhang Cheng fell to one side as soon as his body weakened, "How could this happen? How will the three of us deal with ourselves in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future?"

Zhang Cheng burst into tears, and Wang Jin and Li Dexian were not much better.

On the contrary, Dong Qichang said indifferently: "Why are you three? Isn't it a good thing to celebrate to have the emperor's award?"

Zhang Cheng said in a tearful voice, "My lord, this will kill us."

Dong Qichang said indifferently: "It's serious, with me, His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Emperor, who can touch you? Could it be that only being against the Emperor is the only way to be loyal?"

Dong Qichang's words immediately brought the three of them back to reality. Now that they have been boarded, there is absolutely no reason to get off the boat.

Moreover, the three of them looked at Dong Qichang, who was ten years younger than them, and now in red robes, and the three of them couldn't help but mustered up their courage again.

They bowed to Dong Qichang, "We will all obey your lord's orders."

Dong Qichang smiled, "Okay, let's freshen up well, and then go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with me to receive the order."
