first minister

Chapter 279 Moved three times a day, shaking the government and the countryside
On the second day, looking at the refreshed Xia Jingyun and Feng Xiuyun who was quietly pulling up the woman's bun, Su Yuanshang and the others belatedly understood the deep meaning of that day's joy.

But they had already regarded Feng Xiuyun as Xia Jingyun's Mrs. Ru, and no one was surprised. On the contrary, they thought that Xia Jingyun would not talk when she was surrounded by such a charming woman. This concentration was really shocking.

Looking at it now, it seems that he is similar to us, and he feels somewhat relieved.

Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, it was crowded early this morning. Xia Jingyun was fully dressed and was about to report to the Imperial Academy, but suddenly there was a commotion outside the gate, and then an old acquaintance walked in.

Jin Zhong walked in with cheerful steps, and bowed his hands first, "Congratulations, Mr. Xia, for winning three yuan in a row, and for achieving a great cause that will last forever!"

Xia Jingyun hurriedly said modestly: "Eunuch Jin is polite, you are here today, but Your Majesty has a call?"

Jin Zhong shook his head, his smile disappeared suddenly, and his face became serious, "Xia Jingyun, accept the order!"

Gongsun Jing immediately set up the incense table in person, and Xia Jingyun led everyone in the Hou Mansion to kneel down to listen to the order.

Jin Zhong took out the imperial decree and began to read:

"In the 24th year of Chongning, in the fourth month of the summer, Gui Chou, Emperor Chongning of Great Xia issued an edict: I have heard that you are virtuous, and you are rewarded with talents. Xia Jingyun was compiled by the Hanlin Academy. An, I am very grateful for helping to calm the disaster in Surabaya. Move to the prime minister of Taichang Temple, here."

Xia Jingyun was stunned, promoted?
Promoted just after being awarded an official?
Or was it directly upgraded to rank five?

After Jin Zhong finished reading, he looked at Xia Jingyun who was still in a daze and smiled lightly: "Master Xia, accept the order?"

Xia Jingyun just woke up like a dream, "I accept the order, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Jin Zhong handed over the imperial decree with a smile, and Xia Jingyun slipped out a bank note from his sleeve skillfully as always, and completed the transfer of wealth and the reinforcement of favor in a friendly atmosphere where you know each other.

Sitting down in the main hall, Xia Jingyun looked at Su Yuanshang with a dazed expression, "It means I should report to Taichang Temple now?"

Su Yuanshang laughed, "The cause of the past, the result of today, and the contribution to suppressing the rebellion, His Majesty has not forgotten after all. Congratulations to Lord Xia! Hehe!"

Xia Jingyun pursed his lips, recalling the surprise that Emperor Chongning said that day, and rubbed his chin, "If you say it this way, how do I feel there is still?"

Su Yuanshang was stunned.

Just as he was talking, another servant from the palace walked in from outside the door.

Xia Jingyun recognized this as Gao Yi's other adoptive son, who often waited outside the Imperial Study Room and Qianyuan Hall, and his status was somewhat higher than Jin Zhong's.

So, he also took the initiative to welcome two steps, and greeted him friendly.

The other party also smiled, "I haven't congratulated the No. [-] Scholar Gong Lian for winning the third prize. It's an honor."

Xia Jingyun held the other person's arm affectionately, as if he was familiar with him, "Your Majesty, you are being polite. My father-in-law never comes out of the palace very often. I can come here today. Don't say anything else, I always want a good cup of tea."

Eunuch Wang smiled, "Thank you, Master Xia, for your kindness. But let's get down to business first?"

Then, as Xia Jingyun expected, the prince's expression became serious, "Xia Jingyun accepts the order!"

Gongsun Jing hurriedly put out the incense table that had just been removed, and Xia Jingyun led everyone in the whole house to kneel down again.

"In the 24th year of Chongning, in the summer and April of Guichou, Emperor Chongning of Great Xia issued an edict: In ancient times, the sages ruled the world, relying on virtuous ministers. Xia Jingyun, the prime minister of Taichang Temple, is loyal and pure, sensitive and sharp. Eliminate the poison of corruption, and have enough money in the house I am very appreciative of what I need. I am specially moved to the Secretary of the Cangbu Division of the Household Department, and I am here."

After his words fell, everyone except Xia Jingyun was shocked.

This is the fifth grade?

In one day, how many people have walked the road of half a lifetime.

This kind of love, such kindness, how many people have to suffer from pink eye disease?

Xia Jingyun bowed respectfully, "I accept the order!"

As he said, he took the imperial decree with both hands, and stood up, "Grandpa, please go inside and have a rest with tea."

The prince smiled and said: "The slaves are still rushing back to return to their orders! I won't bother you any more."

"Then I'll send it to you!"

Xia Jingyun took Eunuch Wang's arm and sent him to the door. Naturally, when Eunuch Wang left, he also had a silver note of 500 taels in his sleeve.

Turning back to the mansion, Su Yuanshang smiled and congratulated, "Gao Yang is going to report to Mr. Wei!"

Xia Jingyun chuckled, obviously quite happy.

He looked at Gongsun Jing who was about to remove the incense case, touched his chin, "Wait a minute, don't remove it."

Gongsun Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes widened. The joy in his eyes was full of disbelief, "Is there anything else?"

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "I guess."

The hearts of Su Yuanshang and others couldn't help but also jumped wildly.

As expected, Xia Jingyun's guess was accurate.

But after a cup of tea, another person walked into Jiang Anhou's mansion.

Seeing people coming, Xia Jingyun, who has always been calm, couldn't sit still all of a sudden, and immediately walked out, "Gao Gonggong, why do you have to work so hard, what's the matter, just go for a while, Mr. Jin !"

Gao Yi, the personal eunuch of Emperor Chongning, still had an unchanging kind smile on his face, "Lord Xia, don't let this old slave down. Your Majesty has ordered, this old slave should act bravely."

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his smile and expression, "Xia Jingyun accepts the order!"

Xia Jingyun led the crowd to kneel down for the third time today.

"In the 24th year of Chongning in the summer and April of Guichou, Emperor Chongning of Great Xia issued an edict: I rule the world with the public, and rule the people with righteousness. Xia Jingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Accounting and Cangbu, is loyal and pure, unyielding and unyielding. Although he is wronged, However, the country is brave and the country is not afraid of slander, but the moths of the whole country and the country are rid of the sorrows of the country. How can a loyal and good minister lose his achievements and not praise him in order to favor his life? Specially, he is a fourth-rank general counselor and also serves as a servant in the palace. Censor, hereby."

Xia Jingyun was once again in a daze, His Majesty's surprise was really... too pleasant a surprise.

Moved three times a day, directly from the sixth rank to the fourth rank.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Lord Xia, accept the order?"

Xia Jingyun raised his hands high, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Xia Jingyun said a few polite words as usual, but Gao Yi naturally declined.

Xia Jingyun personally sent him out of the door, but unlike before, he was always friendly to these eunuchs, but for the first time, he didn't give Gao Yi any gifts.

Gao Yi didn't seem annoyed either, and walked out the door cheerfully.

Walking back to the hall, Gongsun Jing looked at Xia Jingyun and whispered, "My lord, are there any more?"

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Eunuch Gao has come out, who else can we ask?"

Gongsun Jing smiled awkwardly, and Su Yuanshang also said with emotion: "Three times a day, this kind of favor is really too grand and cannot be added!"

Amidst the congratulations, Xia Jingyun, who became a fourth-rank official of the Great Xia Dynasty, was thoughtful within a day.

When Xia Jingyun moved three times a day, passed the fourth level, and became a fourth-rank official, the news spread quietly.

For a moment, the government and the public were shocked, and everyone was amazed.
