Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 159 Promoted to Earl
Who knows when those people will do it, time waits for no one.

Chen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, before he felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

If he took a first look and found that it was Lin Shilang, Chen Yi asked with a straight face: What's wrong?What happened?
Seeing Chen Yi's expression, Lin Shilang knew that he had slipped just now and was still out of state.

He could only hate iron but made a look at Chen Yi. After Chen Yi said the look, he looked around, and then saw that the corner of the Empress's mouth seemed to twitch.

Eunuch Li was holding the imperial decree in his hand, with a smiling expression on his face, but this expression seemed a little far-fetched and stiff compared to Eunuch Li's before.

Chen Yi suddenly realized that this edict should be for himself.

Chen Yi turned his head and asked Lin Shilang with his eyes, but he could only nod immediately, and urged desperately with his eyes.

Although this whole process seems to have taken a long time, it actually takes a few seconds.

Chen Yi walked out unhurriedly, and then performed the standard etiquette of receiving orders. In a place where others could not see, Chen Yi murmured in his heart, wondering if the empress would give him another task this time. ?

If this is the case, it just might be able to start a system task.

Chen Yi was looking forward to it.

Then I heard Eunuch Li's loud announcement.

"By God's blessing, Your Majesty's edict said: Chen Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a third grade. In recent days, he has continuously shared his worries for His Majesty, exposed the plot of a villain in the Liao Kingdom, and rectified the name of the Dawu Kingdom. Because of his eloquence, he won five thousand silver for the treasury. , and later improved the weapons, strengthened the troops, and escorted the two princes of the Liao Kingdom back to Liao to avoid the chaos of the two countries. I hereby promote the Viscount Chen Yi to the Earl, and give the Earl's Mansion a half-year salary, hereby."

After reading the edict, Eunuch Li looked at Chen Yi with a smile on his face.

Chen Yi was stunned for a while before remembering to accept the order. Chen Yi was really surprised.

Chen Yi didn't expect that the empress would actually give him a title, a house, and half a year's salary. This could be considered a big deal, even bigger than the previous ones.

Chen Yi subconsciously looked up at the empress above, who showed a meaningful smile.

Chen Yi reacted immediately, bowed his head and accepted the order with a smile.

The other ministers in the court were also very surprised, and some even couldn't recover for a long time. This is something that has never happened before. You know, how long has it been since Chen Yi just became a viscount and moved into the viscount talisman?

As a result, he was promoted to earl again.

When Chen Yi became a viscount before, the other ministers had no idea at all, and some even felt that the empress was too stingy. You must know that for ministers like them, the viscount might as well be promoted to a higher level.

Of course, at that time, it was also because Chen Yi had been promoted to a level before, so it seemed a little inappropriate to regenerate.

The empress conferred the title of Viscount Chen Yi, and the other ministers didn't say anything, but this earl is different, this is a serious title.Ordinary people can't be greedy.

The viscount can only say that he has made great contributions, but the earl can be hereditary, although it can only be three generations at most.

But the development of these three generations can also allow a commoner family to enter the ranks of the upper-class nobility, so no one dares to underestimate this earl.

Although Chen Yi's contribution this time is said to be great, and he didn't say it would be greater than the sky, but the meaning of listening to the empress' will seems to be because Chen Yi prevented the war between the two countries.

To give back the face of Da Wu Guo, Chen Yi has no vacant official positions on the Internet, and it seems reasonable to be named an earl.

After such an analysis, the surrounding ministers also gradually calmed down.

It was also at this moment that they would not underestimate Chen Yi from now on.

These ministers didn't take Chen Yi seriously before, no matter what, he was alone, but now it's different, although Chen Yi is still alone, but the earl has a letter.

The future development can be known again, so for a while, the attention to Chen Yi has increased a little.

Chen Yi was not regarded as a political opponent, but the attention paid to him was no less than that of his political opponents.

Chen Yi came into contact with the combination of these ministers around him, and of course he also felt the change in the attitude of these ministers towards him. Chen Yi could only smile bitterly in his heart. I am afraid that he will not be able to enjoy the good days before.

It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

Chen Yi knew in his heart that what the imperial decree said might only be part of it. Before that, everyone knew these things. Why did the empress issue the imperial decree today.

Wasn't it because he entered the palace yesterday and presented the silver, the Empress wanted to reward herself when she was so happy.

Chen Yi knew in his heart that the most important thing was that the Empress still looked at Yin Zi's face.

Therefore, Chen Yi received this imperial decree calmly, without any guilty conscience, and he was really busy. After being busy for so long, he should give it a little bit last time.

It wasn't long before Chen Yi moved into the new courtyard. Chen Yi didn't plan to move into the Earl's Mansion given by the empress this time.

As long as the house is enough to live in, of course, you can keep it for other purposes. Everyone knows that a house is a valuable thing, let alone in ancient times, at the foot of the imperial capital where every inch of land is expensive.

What really surprised Chen Yi was that the half-year salary this time was really a rare big deal.

However, compared with the 400 million taels of silver he offered, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket, so there was no fuss, and Chen Yishou felt at ease.

When the court hall gradually quieted down, the Empress announced her withdrawal from the court.

Chen Yi walked out slowly.

On the one hand, it was because he was too lazy to socialize. Chen Yi estimated that there were many ministers waiting for him outside the door. Whether it was true or false, they must first make friends with him.

Chen Yi didn't want to deal with those, and he didn't plan to make friends with these people.

A long time ago, the minister of the cabinet tried to win over Chen Yi, but he rejected him. Now, Chen Yi is even more unwilling to deal with these ministers who have not changed their names.

The second reason, of course, is that it was agreed yesterday to give money to the empress today.

Chen Yi walked slowly, and as soon as he left the gate of the palace, he saw Eunuch Li waiting aside, and his eyes lit up.

He walked over quickly: "Chen Shilang, please follow the servant."

Chen Yi knew what Eunuch Li was doing here, so he didn't refuse. He nodded and followed behind him. Eunuch Li led Chen Yi to the study in the apse.

Along the way, I met many court ladies and servants.

Apart from envy, these court ladies and servants have no other thoughts, because Chen Yi came to thank him, and even Eunuch Li, who led the way, thought so.

After Chen Yi came to the study, Eunuch Li closed the door and quietly left.
