Prince of Chaos

Chapter 450: Giving the Python Robe

It doesn't take a lot of battles for the cabinet to pass the decree, but at this moment, the posthouse in the suburbs of Beijing is very lively.

Many people with lofty ideals gathered here, waiting for their idol, the moral model of the Ming Dynasty, and Shen Li, the backbone of the Qing school, to make his debut.

After Zhong Huamin came here with the imperial decree, he looked at the crowds of people inside and outside the post house, and couldn't help but sigh and envy Shen Li's reputation. When will he be treated like this?
Zhong Huamin shook his head, and erased the ambition in his heart.He doesn't have the demeanor of Shen Li, nor does he have the family education of Shen Li.Thinking about these things is just adding trouble.It's better to do your current errands in a down-to-earth manner.

Inside the post house.

Shen Li had already received the news that the cabinet was going to announce the decree to him on behalf of the imperial court. At this moment, he was extremely excited.

However, no matter how excited he was, Shen Li's skill in nourishing qi was still very deep. He still had a calm expression, and he still didn't put down the volume of Analects in his hand. Looking at the yellowed paper color of this volume of Analects, he could It can be seen that this volume of Analects has been read many times by him.

"Sir, it's time to change clothes."

The old slave Shen De who was waiting beside Shen Li asked cautiously beside him.

Shen Li habitually opened a new page with his hand, his eyes never left the Analects, and then said: "Scholars can only cultivate their state of mind if they are not happy with things but not sad with themselves. Such eagerness seems to be lazy. It's a bad idea."

Shen De quickly replied: "What the master taught me is that the villain is talking too much."

Shen Li looked at Shen De's nervous look, he cast a glance and said, "Forget it, forget it, let's change clothes."

After finishing speaking, Shen Li closed the Analects of Confucius in his hand, and then put it on the desk. At this time, his hands couldn't help shaking excitedly, but because he was wearing a loose and comfortable Taoist robe now, so , this action was hidden under the wide sleeves, and no one discovered it.

Shen De looked at Shen Li, who was calm and breezy, and he really admired him. This is his master, a gentleman among men, a model of morality, and he exudes a demeanor that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Shen De immediately took Shen Li's official uniform, and then waited on Shen Li to put the official uniform on neatly. Finally, Shen Li looked at his black gauze official hat. He stretched out his hands to hold it solemnly, and then firmly put it on his head.

After getting dressed, he stood in front of a fitting mirror at the height of a person and looked at himself.

This fitting mirror is produced in Xishan Huangzhuang. The price of such a large mirror is generally around 1000 taels of silver, which is an extremely high-end luxury.

Shen Li looked at himself in the mirror, and then fine-tuned the folds of his official robe. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he finally showed a gentle expression in front of the mirror, confirming that there was nothing wrong with his appearance. After getting her perfect look, she was relieved.

"Let's go, follow the official to meet the imperial edict."

Shen Li gave Shen De an order, and then walked in front. Shen De immediately followed behind Shen Li two steps away, step by step.

After arriving at the main hall of the post house, Shen Li looked at the incense table that had been prepared long ago, and then began to wait for Zhong Huamin's arrival.

Zhong Huamin arrived at the gate of the posthouse, the gate of the posthouse was open, and the guards following Zhong Huamin shouted loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

The voice was so loud that it directly resounded through the entire post house.

After Shen Li heard these three words, he immediately took the corner of the official robe with one hand, and then walked quickly to the courtyard of the post house.

When Shen Li walked into the courtyard, he happened to see Zhong Huamin stepping into the gate of the post house holding the imperial decree.

Shen Li quickened his pace, and then walked in front of Zhong Huamin, his eyes glanced at the python robe held by the guard behind Zhong Huamin, his mood was extremely excited.

The matter of joining the cabinet is a certainty!

Shen Li cupped his hands and said hello: "I've seen an angel."

Zhong Huamin didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, he held up the imperial decree and bowed slightly as a return gift.

"Doctor Shen has been waiting for a long time."

Zhong Huamin also said hello.

Shen Li replied: "The angel's words are serious, and Shen has just finished cleaning up."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries before getting to the point.

Before Zhong Huamin arrived at the incense table, he put the imperial edict on the incense table, and then started the formal process of reading the imperial edict.

After Zhong Huamin finished the process, he said, "There is a purpose!"

Shen Li knelt on the ground and bowed to the imperial decree on the incense table: "Holy bow."

Zhong Huamin replied on behalf of Emperor Wanli: "I'm safe."

Then Zhong Huamin took the imperial decree again, and then opened the seal on the imperial decree to prevent information leakage.

Zhong Huamin opened the sacred decree and said:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said: Since ancient times, when a king governs the world, there must be a virtuous minister to assist the prime minister. The crown prince is talented and wise, and has been supervising the country on my behalf for more than a year. Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, the fortune of the Ming Dynasty is still prosperous. I miss the hard work of the crown prince supervising the country. , Knowing that Shen Qing is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and has no time for morality, I specially promoted Qing to be Doctor Guanglu, gave him a python robe, and entered the East Palace to assist the prince in handling the family affairs. I hope you will live up to my kindness. I respect you!"

There was only one paragraph in the imperial decree. After Zhong Huamin finished reading it, he couldn't help shaking his hands, thinking that he had missed a paragraph.However, he read it again, and when there was only such a paragraph in the imperial decree, he gave Shen Li another unbelievable look.

Shen Li was still kneeling on the ground, and he was also waiting for Zhong Huamin to continue, because the most important thing hadn't been read yet, so he also felt that there must be more than one imperial decree.

But after waiting and waiting, Zhong Huamin did not read another imperial decree.Instead, he waited until Zhong Huamin said: "Doctor Shen accept the order."

Only then did Shen Li look up at Zhong Huamin in astonishment, his eyes seemed to be asking, what is the purpose of appointing me to the cabinet?

Zhong Huamin looked at Shen Li's astonished eyes, and he was embarrassed for a while. At first, he thought that he was going to witness the birth of Xin Ge Lao, but he didn't expect that he would just promote Shen Li to a casual official.

Moreover, this level of casual officials was supposed to be promoted.

According to the rules of scattered officials in the Ming Dynasty, Doctor Ronglu of the first rank is conferred for the first time, and when a new official rank is formally appointed, Doctor Guanglu of the first rank will be conferred again immediately.This is the normal awarding standard for loose officials.

However, this imperial decree did not seem to give Shen Li any formal official position, that is, to promote the newly appointed Doctor Ronglu to Doctor Guanglu according to the usual practice.

Although he was also given the honor of the boa robe, the intention to join the cabinet was not made, and instead he was asked to go to the East Palace to assist the prince in handling the clan affairs.This is a bit intriguing.

For a moment, Shen Li was stunned.His dream of joining the cabinet seemed to be shattered at this moment.

Zhong Huamin looked at Shen Li who was a little distracted, and he reminded again: "Doctor Shen has accepted the order."

Only then did Shen Li come back to his senses, he closed his eyes in pain, and then bowed deeply: "I accept the order."

After Shen Li got up, Zhong Huamin handed the imperial decree to Shen Li, and he politely congratulated: "Congratulations to Dr. Shen for returning to Beijing. There is nothing small about the clan. Your Highness has Dr. Shen's assistance. It is really a blessing for the whole country."

Shen Li reluctantly responded, and then looked at the boa robe. At this moment, he felt that the boa robe seemed to be mocking him for being overconfident.

At this moment, Shen Li really hated Shen Shixing and other dead vegetarians from the bottom of his heart!

He was thinking in his heart, this time the emperor didn't let him join the cabinet directly, it must be Shen Shixing and the others who were obstructing it and blinded the audience!Otherwise, how could he not join the cabinet?
