Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 193 Top Grade!

"Zu Zhongzheng is coming?"

After hearing the report, County Sheriff Xu Hui and others showed surprised expressions, a little surprised by Zuna's arrival.

Although the Zhongzhengguan is also a county official, he is very special. He is one of the few official positions that is not bound by rank. Because he holds the power of evaluation that is crucial to the local gentry, he can be said to be the person who determines the fate of the gentry.

Now that the noble clan is under control, the places where the noble clan has influence naturally don't dare to do anything to Zhongzheng, and even the county guards must respect him.

Not to mention the special envoy's trial, even when Zhuge Yan was attacked before, the civil and military officials in the city were worried that they would be implicated and were panic-stricken. However, Zheng Zuna, the commander of the county, only intervened briefly. Relatively speaking, he was much calmer.

Zhongzheng is another system independent of local officials.

As a result, in this trial, Zu Zhongzheng showed up.

"He also heard the rumors and came here to express his concern?"

Just as Xu Hui and others were guessing, Zu Na, with fluttering sleeves, had already entered the hall.

His overall popularity is elegant, and as soon as he comes, he adds a lively atmosphere to the solemn atmosphere of the hall.

Zuna was not polite, looked around at everyone, cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, I hope you will forgive me for disturbing the trial in the hall, but I have an urgent letter, so I can't delay it, otherwise I won't be able to bear the blame." ." At the end of the day, he still gave up.

This action made many people's hearts flutter, and then they became confused.

What kind of urgent message could make Zu Zhongzheng come over at this time?
When he came, he had no intention of sitting aside to listen to the trial. He still stood in the hall, followed by two officials. Chen Qian was also among them. He was smiling and nodding towards Chen Zhi. His eyes were shining with light, revealing that Expressing joy.

However, only Chen Zhi noticed this detail, and everyone else's attention was focused on Zuna.

As everyone's attention shifted, the atmosphere and focus of the hall changed. Yu Liang suddenly interrupted, confused right and wrong, and took the initiative. He was about to make a speech to establish the general situation. Unexpectedly, Zu Na suddenly came over and asked him to The atmosphere that was finally created showed signs of collapse.

How could he allow this to happen?
Originally, this matter of confusing right and wrong, calling a deer a horse, was just a risky move, and what he wanted was to go all out, so he said: "Zhongzhongzheng, today's court hearing, wait for me to speak clearly, your Excellency will talk about your matter, this time... …”

"I'm really sorry, I really can't wait for this matter."

Zuna didn't give Yu Liang any face, smiled slightly, came to Chen Zhi, took out a thin book from his sleeve, and slowly opened it.

Yu Liang's face suddenly turned gloomy, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Zuna, and said coldly: "Zuzhongzheng, I am doing business as ordered by the court. You came here for no reason. If it is because of a certain person, it affects the entire case. As the situation progresses, we can only ask that person out." Undoubtedly, he saw that Zuna's visit was related to Chen Zhi.

After saying that, Yu Liang sat down again, with an arrogant look on his face, brewing words of rebuke.

Zuna looked back at him and smiled lightly: "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, don't say it so absolutely..." At this point, he coughed lightly, stood up straight, and then said seriously: " Pass the sage’s oral message!”

"Forehead!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, followed by a sudden change of expression.

Yu Liang, who had just sat down and put on an arrogant look, even widened his eyes and couldn't maintain the expression on his face.

Even Xu Hui and the others looked confused, then quickly stood up and lowered their heads to listen, but they felt confused in their hearts.

How come you are so lucky that you can hear the Holy Spirit’s instructions?
Not to mention them, even Zhang Ruodou frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple. He was curious about the content of this sudden oracle and why it was said by Zuna.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruo's eyes fell on Chen Zhi.

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling, and then stood up.

Zuna had already spread out the thin book, looked at Yu Liang with a solemn expression, and said lightly: "What? Is Yu Yushi going to listen to the Holy Emperor's instructions like this?"

Yu Liang was stunned for a moment, his face extremely embarrassed, but he had to stand up. The momentum he had worked so hard to create was immediately shattered, and he felt even more aggrieved.

Zu Na withdrew his gaze, held the book in his hand, and said to Chen Zhi: "I heard that there is a famous scholar in Pengcheng named Chen Zhi. If the talent is of no quality, wouldn’t it be like a lost pearl in the wilderness? Now I am in charge and will treat him as a person of high quality!”

These words were narrated in a narrative tone, recounting the emperor's words.

After saying that, the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Whether it was Xu Hui, Yang Yong and other local officials, as well as Zhuge Jing and other guards and servants, they all looked surprised and stared at Chen Zhi blankly, unable to change their thoughts for a long time.

It took them a while before they realized what was happening.

"The holy edict is actually for Chen Zhi?"

"How did Chen Zhi's name reach my ears today?" "This is not an important matter. The real key is the content of the edict. Didn't you hear it? This is important..."

Top quality!
"Township... top quality?"

Xu Hui murmured, full of disbelief.

A certain product is the best.

This kind of thing is not unheard of. There are many outstanding people from top aristocratic families, profound backgrounds, or extraordinary talents. They are of a certain quality and are of the highest quality. But what kind of people are they?Not to mention family background, you must at least live around the capital in order to be famous in the capital. The first to be near the water and the towers will gain the upper hand.

But where is Chen Zhi?
He was from a local family in a northern county.

With such a status, as early as ten or twenty years ago, anyone who entered the court or became an official would have been discriminated against. Even if it has improved in recent years, there are still many customary rules and discrimination. Compared with his peers, the best thing is that Grade eight.

Starting from a lower class and working hard to get promoted, this is the normal situation of the Pengcheng family.

One is of low grade and the other is of high grade. What a huge gap!

What's more, from this tone, it was clearly determined by the emperor's golden words, and he personally decided it, so there was a problem.

How did Chen Zhi's reputation spread to the capital?

Xu Hui and others couldn't figure this out, but Zuna had a guess, but he was also sad. He originally sent the "Master's Statement" to him just to stabilize Chen Zhi's evaluation of the fifth grade. Why? I didn't expect that there would be such a result.

"Chen Zhi, I'm here to congratulate you. You are the third rank of the Imperial Designated Township Rank, the top rank!" As he said, he handed over the thin booklet, which contained Chen Zhi's certificate of rank and the certificate of rank. However, there is no need for him, the commander-in-chief of the county, to settle matters.

Chen Zhi was a little surprised when he received the order. He had not expected this order.

"Order the third product?"

Looking at the last few sentences of the certificate and savoring the word "third grade", Chen Zhi's emotions couldn't help but fluctuate.

In a society that adheres to the nine-grade system, rank represents social status and privileges. For example, just now, when Yu Liang saw that the situation was not good, he directly used rank to talk about it and openly snatched Chen Zhi's credit. Own top-rank status!
This status refers to local products.

Now, with just one sentence, Chen Zhi has received a top-notch evaluation!
"How is this possible!?" Yu Liang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stared at the thin book, "How could Chen Zhi, a descendant of a small local clan, be designated by the Holy Spirit as a third-grade man? This doesn't make sense! "

"Why not? There are sages left behind in the mountains and plains. You have personally experienced Chen Zhizhi's ability and you have experienced it yourself. You can't be regarded as a sage?" Zhang Ruo was also surprised, but said lightly when he heard the words, "It's not far away. In other words, Liezu invited Marquis Chen and Marquis Wu to visit. These two were not well-known at the time. According to your statement, these two would never come out of the mountain! Besides, the descendants of Huhai and Chen Yuanlong’s bloodline branch, how did they come to you? In your mouth, it is Xiaozu? You must think too highly of yourself."

Yu Liang felt uncomfortable after being choked by these words, his breathing was disordered, and he couldn't help but become anxious.

"I can't retreat. Once I retreat, not only will the leadership change hands, but it will also become a stepping stone for Chen Zhi's reputation. The key is not to lose control. If you think about it carefully, even if Chen Zhi has become a top-notch person, he is only assisting in this case. , as long as I can control the situation, I can still get the credit..."

Thinking like this, Yu Liang looked at Chen Zhi, planning how to speak again and re-create the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, before he could make another move, the atmosphere in the hall changed again.

"Third rank! Third rank!" Suddenly, the county magistrate Yang Yong came to his senses. Regardless of the order of the trial, he came to congratulate Chen Zhi, "Congratulations to my nephew, you have been promoted to the third rank. This is a celebration for the whole county in Pengcheng. What the hell!" His face was extremely rosy.

As a county magistrate, he has produced a top-notch person under his rule. If this is not an achievement of enlightenment, then what can be counted?
It can be said that Chen Zhi's decision directly saved Yang Yong from half a year of hard work in politics. In the face of such practical benefits, the past conflicts were simply not worth mentioning.

"Exactly, exactly, Shouyi, you are so impressive. You are worthy of being the famous scholar in Pengcheng that I personally selected!" The second person to react was the county governor Xu Hui. After this incident, he didn't have to worry about the imperial edict to enter the school. "This matter should be celebrated for three days and a banquet will be held to celebrate it!"

Other officials, big and small, including Su Jun, were also waking up from a dream. Knowing how big a sensation the news would cause once it spread, they all came up to greet Chen Zhi one after another. Chen Zhi was surrounded by water, and there was no trace of him trying the case.

Yu Liang, who wanted to speak, was upset and couldn't help but said: "We are still in court at this time, please return as soon as possible!"

It's a pity that everyone is very interested, driven by interests, and unwilling to lag behind others, so naturally no one pays attention to him.

"Everyone, everyone..." Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "I let him go beforehand, and now he is still being tried in court. How can I abolish public service for personal reasons?"

"What you say makes sense, and what you say makes sense!"

"He is truly a top-notch person."

"I'm a little out of sorts."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed and returned to their seats. Yu Liang, who said similar words, was stunned for a while, and his expression became more and more unhappy. "I am also a top grader. Why is no one listening to my words?"This is too snobbish!

But before he finished his thoughts, Zhang Ruo's voice rang out: "Yu Congguan, you just said that people without good character cannot bear responsibility. Now that Mr. Chen is helping people with high class, you should rest assured. Go ahead and catch the thief.”
