Chapter 245: The Emperor's Seal

At the Imperial Palace in Jinling City, Li Chaoen walked into the imperial study room, with a slight shock on his face.

"Your Majesty, Li Xuan has the latest secret memorial."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately put down the brush in his hand and said hurriedly: "Is there finally news from Qin Guan again? How about it?"

"Your Majesty, Qin Guan broke through the Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing, Liao Kingdom, and there is a detailed report on it." He said that, and presented the secret report to the emperor.

The emperor was overjoyed and took the battle report and looked carefully.

After watching it, he burst into laughter, swept away the depression he had suffered for several days, and said to Li Chaoen with a rosy expression: "A few days ago, Li Xuanmi reported that Qin Guan led his troops to break through Zhuozhou City, and I was already very surprised. It has only been a few days since then. I really didn't expect that he actually broke through Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing."

"We also destroyed the surrounding four cities of Qianyin, Yongqing, Changping and Yanshan, killed the Liao Dynasty's border guard Yelu Qicai, and annihilated more than 50,000 Liao troops."

"Qin Guanzhen is a genius who leads troops. Could it be that God sent to assist me? Hahaha, okay, well done."

Li Chaoen said with a smile: "After breaking through the Xijin Mansion, Qin Guan cleared the way out and would inevitably kill Tanzhou. As long as he crossed the Great Wall, there would be a smooth road ahead and he could attack the Central Beijing of Liao. I think this time, Liao will inevitably be anxious. By then, Yelu Chongxin and Xiao Chucai will be under doubled."

The emperor was very happy and said, "I want to reward him for such a great victory, and I want to reward him for kindness, how do you think you should reward him?"

Li Chaoen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Guan has been awarded one after another. Now he is a county duke and a second-rank general of Zhenyuan. I think the reward should not be too much, otherwise the people below will not know how to cherish it."

The emperor frowned, "It's not appropriate to win such a great victory."

Li Chaoen said: "Your Majesty, if you don't reward Qin Guan, you can reward his family. Qin Guan's father Qin Zhang is now a doctor in the fifth rank of the Ministry of Revenue, his mother Zhang and grandmother He. Your Majesty can grant an imperial edict."

When the emperor heard this, he thought Li Chaoen had a good idea.

"The news that Qin Guan won a great victory, defeated the Liao Dynasty's Nanjing Xijin Prefecture, and annihilated 50,000 Liao troops was immediately issued to the whole country. I want everyone to know that our Great Zhao State is not without troops to fight. It is only a matter of time before and for the elimination of invading enemies, so as to enhance the morale of the military and civilians across the country."

"Issuing an order to assess Qin Zhang's performance. If you do well, you can promote it as appropriate."

"Added to Qin Guan's grandmother He's fifth rank, and his mother Zhang's second rank, wife."

If you are promoted to Qin Zhang, you can leave the Ministry of Personnel. I believe that the Ministry of Personnel knows what to do. As for the granting of imperial edicts, it is just a matter of one sentence. imperial edicts are just an honor, with ceremonial guards, salary, and no real power.

The imperial edict can be used to rank the husband or son, but Qin Guan's grandmother can only be awarded the fifth rank, but Qin Guan's mother Zhang can directly rank the second rank.

Finally, the emperor looked at Li Chaoen, "What do you think about this arrangement?"

Li Chaoen said: "Your Majesty treats Qin Guan so well, Qin Guan will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty's holy grace."

The emperor nodded and smiled.

He picked up Li Xuan's secret memoir again, and looked word by word, and the more he looked, the happier he became. Finally, he said, "Li Xuan is doing well, he is yours, please make arrangements for it yourself."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Jinling City, Ministry of Revenue.

Minister Liu Chong pushed open the door, looked at Qin Zhang who was still writing, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, look, Yun Shang is really hardworking," he said, "After that Mr. Xu, he turned to Qin Zhang and said, "Yun Shang, you are going to treat you again this time."

Qin Zhang stood up and said with a smile: "Shilarious Minister Liu, Mr. Xu, why have you got the time to come to me? It's easy to treat you, but Mr. Liu always has to give you a reason."

Liu Chong said: "Is it a reason to be promoted?"

Qin Zhang was stunned, "Who is promoted?"

"Of course you were promoted." Mr. Xu said.

Qin Zhang's thoughts moved, his face could not hide his excitement, and he tried to pretend to be calm and said, "Don't come and make me laugh. The three-year Ministry of Personnel assessment will be available for one and a half years. How could I be promoted?"

Liu Chong said enviously: "Who told you to have a good son?"

"In the morning, the Ministry of Personnel came, and I was here to get your assessment performance. They said that it was the official who ordered it himself, so he wanted you to treat it. Isn't it a promotion or something."

"I also found out from them that the Duke of Qin County led a 40,000 army into the Liao Kingdom, fought a big victory, captured the Nanjing Xijin Prefecture of Liao Kingdom, and killed more than 50,000 Liao soldiers. It was amazing. Yun Shang, but this great victory, the Duke of Qin County will spread throughout the Zhao Kingdom in the future. No, he destroyed the 40,000 army of Xixia before, and now he has destroyed another 50,000 Liao soldiers. The Duke of Qin is sure to spread throughout the world."

Mr. Xu said, "Oh, this achievement is comparable to that of the champion Marquis."

"Yun Shang, you are envious and I'm waiting. No, I want to treat you. Today, Yueyunzhai, I want the best food and drinks. If you don't spend hundreds of cents of money, we feel uncomfortable."

Qin Zhang's face had already turned into a flower, and he quickly said, "No problem, Yue Yunzhai, the best wine and dish."

In the afternoon, Qin Zhang heard more detailed news, which came from the palace. Not only did he want to be promoted to his official position, but the emperor also personally granted two imperial edicts to the old lady of the Qin family and Mrs. Qin.

Qin Zhang was a little drunk, but he knew in his heart that he was benefiting from his son.

Hangzhou, Qin family.

The Qin Mansion received a notice from the government that an official came over to ask the Qin family to prepare, and that the old lady He and Mrs. Zhang must be present at that time.

The Qin family did not dare to neglect and immediately prepared the incense table.

When the imperial edict came over, all the Qin family members knelt down to receive the imperial edict. In front of it was Chen Chang's formulaic article. Finally, the imperial edict was officially read out. He was granted the title of the fifth rank of He family in Qin and the second rank of Zhang family in Qin. Suddenly, the Qin family members showed surprise on their faces.

After the imperial edict was announced, the palace servants sent two sets of imperial edicts and madam clothes. Qin Wei quickly invited the imperial edict to the living room for tea, and secretly stuffed thank-you gifts into the sleeves of the two.

The old lady and Mrs. Zhang returned to the backyard with their maids' uniforms. The maids quickly stepped forward to help put on them, then folded their heads again, and worked hard for half an hour before they came out.

Wearing an imperial uniform, he came to the incense table again, and respectfully kowtowed to the imperial edict placed on it, and then the entire ceremony ended.

Soon, the news that the two wives of the Qin family were granted imperial edicts spread throughout Hangzhou City. I don’t know how many wives and women were envious.

After worshiping his ancestors, Mrs. Zhang helped the old lady back to the room.

The old lady sat on the kang, touching the fifth-ranked pleasant uniform on her body, her face full of smiles, and said softly: "I have been content in my life. My son passed the Jinshi exam, my grandson passed the top scorer. Now she has become the duke of the Great Zhao Kingdom and a second-ranked purple robe. This is the blessing of my ancestors of the Qin family."

Mrs. Zhang added next to it, "There is also blessing from the ancestor of Taoism."

The old lady smiled, "Guan'er said that he was blessed by the Taoist ancestor. He started to take the exam for the top scorer and went smoothly. Juren, Huiyuan, top scorer, prefect, Guanwen Pavilion bachelor, Zhenyuan, and Yong'an County Duke, Oh, speaking of it, my grandson might have really been attracted by the Taoist ancestor, otherwise where would he have such great luck?"

"So my daughter-in-law is going to the Taoist temple tomorrow to burn incense for the Taoist ancestor to bless my son with peace and safety." Zhang said.

"I should go, and the old woman will accompany you tomorrow."

"Speaking of this, I am now a fifth-rank imperial decree. When the old man died, he was just an eighth-rank county magistrate. My current official position is higher than his. I wonder if he will be unhappy when he goes down to see him in the future." The old lady said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "My father-in-law is too happy to see the Qin family prosperous."

After saying this, she looked at the second-grade imperial edicts on her body and thought happily that she was now the second-grade and the master was the fifth-grade. I wonder what the master would think.

Thinking about it, I feel quite interesting.

At this time, the Great Zhao State had already announced the world that Qin Guan defeated the Liao State, captured the Liao State's subordinate capital, Xijin Prefecture, and killed 50,000 Liao Army.
