Ancient promotion routine

Emperor Sheng Yuan glanced down, and couldn't help but bow his head when he saw the crowd. Duke Rui Zhou Qin had followed Emperor Sheng Yuan for a long time. At this moment, his heart sank. He wanted to stand up and say, but he who knew the emperor best, he really I dare not stand up.

Emperor Sheng Yuan waved his hand and said, "Sure, Zhang Yanjin, you go to the Ministry of Industry, isn't Yuanwailang still available?"

There are a total of two people in charge of the repairs at the Ministry of Industry, one is Si Youlang, and the other is Yuanwailang.

This Yuanwailang's official position is not big, but not small, from the fifth rank, with a monthly salary of fourteen stones, but compared with the previous military recorder, he has been promoted by three ranks.

The official system of the Great Wei Dynasty is divided into nine levels, from the first rank to the ninth rank, a total of eighteen levels.The genuine product is slightly larger than the official rank of the secondary product.The official position of Zhang Yanjin is slightly lower than that of Si Youlang and Huang Xiujun. The only ones who can control him are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Second Minister. However, this kind of official will not be in charge of the technical production of the Ministry of Industry. He is considered to be the second in command of the Ministry of Industry in the management of repairs.

Zhang Yanjin fell silent when she heard the words, and completely lost the high spirits she had just pointed out.

He just wanted to help his uncle Zhang Zhongqian go out on time and take care of the supplies, so why did he become an official position given to him by the emperor?How can he go back to his Cuiping villa in Xizhou to enjoy himself now?

I should have known that when Huang Xiujun asked him, he would have said that he had dreamed about it.

How could the emperor fail to see what Zhang Yanjin was thinking? From the time Zhang Yanjin told him that the villa was a dream in Xizhou Datong, he knew that Zhang Yanjin only wanted to have fun.

As an emperor, talents naturally want to win over him for his own use.He knew that what he said just now, with Zhang Zhongqian around, Zhang Yanjin, a filial nephew, had to agree if he promised, or he had to agree if he didn't agree.

Feeling Zhang Zhongqian's eyes staring at him angrily, Zhang Yanjin had no choice but to drop his teeth and swallow in his stomach. He knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

After that, Zhang Yanjin didn't bother to say anything, just waited for the emperor to wake him up.

He didn't believe that the emperor didn't know that he didn't want to be an official!He clearly knows that he just wants to have fun, and he has to drive ducks to the shelves, and now he has to thank him himself, so he really doesn't even think about it!

But the surrounding ministers didn't think so, they all waited for Zhang Yanjin to continue, and the sentence disappeared after that, which made them extremely uncomfortable, thinking that something was wrong with Zhang Yanjin.

The emperor was someone who had taught Zhang Yanjin's clumsy speech, and he didn't care about it, he raised his hand and said, "Get up."

Only then did the ministers slowly come to their senses, and they only thought that Zhang Yanjin, a dude, was out of words, or that he didn't understand etiquette, and they inevitably complained a few words in their hearts, pretending to be good when they got cheap.

But Zhang Yanjin didn't care. After he got up, he went back to stand in the line.

After the next court, Zhang Zhongqian looked at Zhang Yanjin who was walking beside him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

He felt more and more that Zhang Yanjin had grown up. In the past, he was most worried and worried about his nephew Zhang Yanjin. Although he was still the most worried about him now, he was talking about it in front of civil and military officials in the court today. His flying posture made him feel admiration.

"You performed well today, but in the future, don't target the officials of the DPRK and China like this. You...you are still young. If you want to stand out, you should go to us old people." Zhang Zhongqian said when he walked to a place where no one was around.

Zhang Yanjin nodded sullenly, he is still regretting being in the limelight.He shouldn't have thought about cleaning up these people himself yesterday, but should have directly handed over the blueprints for building the ship to Zhang Zhongqian or Zhang Bowen and Zhang Xiuwu, and let them say it was their fault, while he continued to enjoy his life in the Cuiping Mountain Villa. .

This is good, the person who wanted to serve the imperial court and made great achievements failed to become an official, but he was bound by the emperor by mistake.

Seeing that Zhang Yanjin hadn't said anything for a long time, Zhang Zhongqian turned his head and saw that his precious nephew was frowning. He knew that Zhang Yanjin didn't want to be an official, so he couldn't laugh or cry: "You child, why don't you want to do business all day long? Just want to play around?"

"Uncle, my nephew is a rough man, and he has no talent to be an official. Can you help me persuade the emperor to allow me to resign after the ship is built, and I will never cause trouble again? I Just stay in Xizhou Datong." Zhang Yanjin pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, he looked at Zhang Zhongqian pitifully.

If he had known that there was no escape plan, he should not have taken care of his uncle and the emperor's face and directly rejected the emperor's request at that time.Fortunately, everyone is happy now, and he has become a duck caught on the shelves.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Zhongqian glared at Zhang Yanjin angrily.What Zhang Yanjin said was completely opposite to his values, which is why he reacted so strongly.

After finishing speaking, he felt a little regretful, and felt that his words were a bit harsh, so he comforted him softly: "You child, others don't know how much they envy you. Although your official position as Yuanwailang is only from the fifth rank, you can You know, the official position in Chang'an City is different from the local official position. As long as you work hard, it is very possible to rise in the future. You have made some contributions to the court. Not only your grandma and uncle are happy, but you have already If the dead father and mother knew about it, they would definitely feel extremely honored."

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy, and the wrinkles on Zhang Zhongqian's face seemed to have deepened a bit. Zhang Yanjin was afraid that Zhang Zhongqian would be sad, so she didn't dare to say any more, so she nodded and said, "Uncle, nephew knows."

At night, the moon is bright and the sky is full of stars.Zhang Yanjin climbed the ladder to the roof and sat down. Looking at the clean and clear sky, Zhang Yanjin suddenly felt that his mind had opened up a lot.

Even though he has no blood relationship with the Zhang family itself, the family relationship is not fake.

He enjoyed the warmth and material and resource advantages they brought him, so he naturally had to care about their feelings, which was inevitable.

He leaned back and looked up at the peaceful and beautiful sky above his head.It's been almost a year since he came here, right?

He looked back on what had happened during the time since he came to the present, only to realize that he had gradually gotten used to the life here and his identity as the Erlang of the Zhang family.

In the end, Zhang Yanjin scratched her head, feeling a little annoyed that she was doing nothing here.Isn't he a clerk Uiro in the Ministry of Industry?At worst, after the ship was built, he pretended to be exhausted and had a free meal in the Ministry of Industry for a while. He still didn't believe it. According to Huang Xiujun, a person who is keen on researching architecture, he could tolerate him eating there!

When Huang Xiujun couldn't stand him, he would naturally tell the emperor that he could pack up and leave at that time.

Early the next morning, as soon as the fifth watch drum sounded, Zhang Yanjin was called up by Zhang Wuer, who was still in a daze.

Even at five o'clock in the morning in modern time, the servants in Zhang Yanjin's small courtyard were also uncomfortable in every possible way when they suddenly had to wake up so early.But the eyes and eyebrows are full of confidence and joy for Zhang Yanjin to be an official.

Like a worm, Zhang Yanjin hunched up from the bed little by little, and he still hadn't fully woken up until Xiaolan brought the washing water.

The pain of not wanting to wake up from sleep made him scratch his head in distress. After he came here, although he went to bed early and woke up early, he never had the habit of waking up at 06:30 in the morning. The earliest time was [-]:[-] After daylight.

It's only five o'clock at this time, it's still dark outside, okay?The design of the court time is too contrary to human nature, and no one has objected to it for so many years!

After Zhang Yanjin was hurriedly cleaned up by the servants around him, he finally woke up.

When he walked out of the small courtyard, he found that Zhang Zhongqian was already waiting for him at the gate.

Zhang Zhongqian looked at his official uniform and saw that his official uniform was neatly dressed, so he nodded and walked outside. The servants outside had already prepared the carriage and lighting lanterns.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, there were also regulations on the grades of officials in the upper court. All the civil and military officials in Beijing had a rank of nine or more, and they looked at Japan; their civil and military officials had a rank of five or more, as well as supervisory censors, Yuanwailang, and Dr. Taichang, who attended the court every day.

In other words, only officials of the fifth rank and above including the fifth rank can go to court every day.Other officials have to wait until the day of the moon, that is, the seventh or eighth day of each month and the 23 or 22 days to go to court and report the matter to the emperor.

Zhang Yanjin happened to be the unfortunate one who was on the edge, and he had to go to court with Zhang Zhongqian because he was from the fifth rank, which was higher than the sixth rank.

In the carriage, Zhang Zhongqian originally wanted to tell Zhang Yanjin some troubles, but found that Zhang Yanjin had already leaned on the carriage and fell asleep, with his chin lowered a little bit.

He reluctantly withdrew his gaze from his hand, took out the wat board and began to read the things he was going to report when he went to court today. This is a habit he has developed for many years. He used this time every morning to look at the things he prepared last night. , to avoid errors.

When Zhang Yanjin woke up, the carriage had already arrived at the ditch bridge.He rubbed his eyes and followed Zhang Yanjin out of the carriage, and walked inside. At this time, the sky had lightened slightly, but it was still very dark.

The Great Wei Dynasty stipulated that when officials go to court, except for first-rank officials, second-rank officials, and seniors who can ride horses or sit in chairs and sedan chairs, other officials must enter the palace on foot, and no one else can follow them. .

Therefore, as the carriage stopped, the servants holding up the lights also stopped, and only Zhang Yanjin and Zhang Zhongqian walked in together.That is to say, the name of the moon stands next to the Yugou Bridge, and the half-opened arch is not released.

But when we got here, there were already street lamps standing beside us, so we didn't need to carry the lamps by ourselves.

Seeing Zhang Yanjin and Zhang Zhongqian walking together, everyone came up to greet Zhang Zhongqian and congratulate Zhang Yanjin.

Zhang Yanjin knew that what everyone said was just an excuse to show off in front of Zhang Zhongqian, so he didn't take it to heart.

When no one said hello, Zhang Zhongqian was a little worried and told Zhang Yanjin a series of things to pay attention to, admonishing Zhang Yanjin to be careful in what he said, and not to always be tit for tat with other people, after all, everyone is an official in the same court.

After entering the Hanyuan Hall from the palace gate, Zhang Yanjin found Huang Xiujun and stood behind him silently, preparing to let his mind go and take a good rest after the court meeting began.

Simply put, there was already a plan for disaster relief in Zhongzhou, and the emperor just mentioned it casually to ask the Ministry of Industry to hurry up and build ships to avoid the expansion of the disaster.The rest had nothing to do with Zhang Yanjin, so Zhang Yanjin emptied his mind and went to the next court.
