The next day.

Qin Ziheng came to the Hanlin Academy in official uniform. After greeting his colleagues, he went to his room, picked up the unfinished books yesterday and prepared to continue sorting them out. At this moment, there was a noise outside.

Someone quickly pushed open the door of Qin Ziheng's room and said hurriedly: "Ziheng, go outside to receive the edict. The edict has arrived."

Qin Ziheng was startled, pointed at himself and asked: "The imperial edict given to me?"

"Yes, that's what the proclaimer said. Don't keep Shangguan waiting for a long time." The colleague urged.

A lot of people had gathered in the main hall of the Hanlin Academy. There were no less than twenty or thirty people including the academicians in charge of the academy, attending readers, attending lectures, editing, revising, and reviewing. When the edict officer saw Qin Ziheng coming over, he said loudly: "Qin Ziheng accepts the edict."

Everyone fell to their knees.

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict saying that Qin Ziheng, the Hanlin compiler and editor of Jingye Jingjing, is famous for his expertise in Jia Ke... His talents are outstanding, his skills are outstanding, his literary skills are outstanding..." In short, it is just a compliment.

Qin Ziheng listened to the content of the imperial edict and found out that it was an edict for his promotion, and he was promoted from Imperial Editor to Imperial Lecturer all at once.

Qin Ziheng's heart was pounding and his head was a little confused.

Hanlin editors are from the sixth rank, and Hanlin ministers are from the fifth rank. This is a third-level promotion.

Hanlin ministers are also called ministers. They are responsible for explaining the history of reading scriptures to the emperor and the prince, and preparing advisers to deal with them. They can be said to be close ministers around the emperor. Their position is very important. As long as they don't make mistakes, their future will be bright.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Qin Ziheng was a little excited, his voice trembled slightly when he spoke, and he stood up to receive the imperial edict.

The proclaimer smiled and said: "Shi Qin, please come with me to the palace to thank me. Your Majesty also wants to see you."

Qin Ziheng immediately agreed.

Many colleagues looked at Qin Ziheng and couldn't help but look envious. They didn't know how Qin Ziheng fell into the emperor's eyes and became a close minister of the emperor. This time he was able to reach the sky in one step.

On the way to the palace, Qin Ziheng thought about it. He didn't know where he was attracted by the emperor. It was said that except for the imperial examination, he had almost no contact with the emperor. He suddenly had a guess in his mind that this promotion might have something to do with his eldest brother.

After all, my eldest brother went to the Imperial Garden to have a banquet with the emperor yesterday.

Ministry of Rites,

The same thing happened to Qin Zixu. Not long after he sat down, the edict came over and announced the imperial edict, promoting Qin Zixu to the head of the Ministry of Etiquette. He was promoted to the sixth rank, which was also promoted by two levels.

Qin Zixu was overjoyed, and his colleagues next to him were envious.

Qin Mansion,

After drinking and celebrating with their colleagues at noon, Qin Ziheng and Qin Zixu did not go to work, but returned home directly to prepare to report the good news to their parents and eldest brother. The two brothers happened to meet each other at the gate. Qin Zixu said happily: "Second brother, your majesty today

I have been promoted to the position of head of the Ministry of Rites."

"Third brother, I have also been promoted to serve as lecturer of the Hanlin Academy." Qin Ziheng also told his good news.

Both of them were stunned. Qin Zixu asked: "Second brother has also been promoted. I feel that this promotion is very sudden. I haven't thought through it yet."

Qin Zixu said: "I'm afraid it's because of eldest brother."

"Brother?"

"Last night, eldest brother went to the palace for a banquet. Today, we brothers were promoted together, and we were promoted two or three levels at a time. This is definitely not a normal assessment promotion. I am afraid it is only because of eldest brother."

The two brothers came in and reported the good news of their promotion to their parents and Qin Guan. Qin Guan seemed very calm when he saw it. After all, he was also a prince. However, Qin Dashou was overjoyed and ordered people to prepare for a family celebration in the evening.

At this moment, another large group of people came outside the Qin Mansion.

The gongs and drums were beating, the sheng and Xiao were playing continuously, and the Qin family door opened, and they found this group of people stopped in front of the Qin family door. Someone stood up and shouted loudly: "The emperor has a decree, Qin Dashou, the Qin Xiao family cultivates virtuous people for the country, and the country owns

I have a special decree to reward you for your merits, so please come out and receive the decree."

The doorman was dumbfounded, but he didn't forget to run in and report.

The Qin family came out to kneel down to receive the order, but Qin Guan and Yue Ruoxue did not come out. With their current status, it would be a joke to kneel down before the emperor.

At this time, there were many people watching the excitement on the street, and the front door of Qin's house was crowded. The edict read out the imperial edict, conferring Qin Dashou the title of Yuanwailang, and conferring a fifth-grade royal title on Qin Guan's wife.

Although Yuanwailang was an idle official, he still had an official status after all. Qin Dashou smiled from ear to ear. The old lady touched the official uniform and kept muttering: "I am willing to die. I am willing."

"

Neighbors and acquaintances all came to congratulate him, and the Qin Mansion was very lively for a while.

At this time, the two brothers Qin Ziheng and Qin Zixu were 100% sure that their promotions and rewards from their parents were definitely for their eldest brother.

Seeing his parents and brothers so happy, Qin Guan was also very happy. Although he didn't care about it, it was enough for his parents to be happy.

What is filial piety? Qin Guan thinks that making parents happy is filial piety.

In the days that followed, Qin Guan stayed at home with his parents, and half a month passed in a flash.

On this day, Tianyan Sect sent someone over to inform Qin Guan that the great salvation formation was ready and could start at any time.

Qin Guan took Yue Ruoxue to the foot of Tianyu Mountain, fifty miles south of the capital. At this moment, a place had been cleared, and nine auspicious beasts were carved out of big stones to guard it. The formation contained the Yin and Yang two rituals, and the layout was perfect.

"Brother Qin, how about giving it a try." Yu Cheng said with some complacency. Their Tianyan Sect is a master of formations, and formations are the sect's best skill, so naturally they have some complacency.

Qin Guan activated the magic formula and hit it on the Liangyi formation. He saw a huge light shield rising in the air, covering the area surrounding the formation.

Qin Guandian nodded, very satisfied.

"Brother Qin, when are you going to start?" Yu Cheng asked.

"I also need to report to the emperor that I need to use the emperor's dragon energy and the official energy of the officials to wash away the grievances of the wronged souls and let them voluntarily reincarnate into reincarnation." Qin Guandao.

Yu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to see His Majesty together?"

Yucheng brought Qin Guan and Yue Ruoxue to the palace. Qin Guan expressed his thoughts. The emperor pondered for a long time before saying: "Since they are my people and I didn't protect them during my lifetime, then after my death I will

Give them a ride."

"Tomorrow I will summon all the officials to go to Tianyu Mountain." He paused here, looked at Qin Guan, and asked worriedly: "Master Qin, is there no danger?"

Qin Guandao, "Probably not."

The emperor trembled in his heart. He shouldn't know what he meant. If it was his minister, he would have killed him long ago. However, towards Qin Guan, he did not dare to show any emotion.

"Okay, I will definitely go there with all my officials tomorrow."

That night, the emperor issued an imperial order, ordering all officials of the seventh rank and above in the capital to wear official uniforms, prepare their own horses, and go to Tianyu Mountain to perform rituals tomorrow.
