Chapter 499: Senior apprentices are promoted (tenth)

Chen Xi asked: "Since Miss Li knows her identity, she doesn't need to hide it. Yes, she is indeed a compiler of the Hanlin Academy, and her official rank is from the sixth rank. She never bullies others with power. As for whom she meets, she has nothing to do with Miss Li. Miss Li said it directly if you have anything to do, and please let yourself take care of it if you have nothing to do."

Chen Xi said something was a bit rude, mainly because the Li family looked for him again and again, but in fact he had a mentality similar to Fatty Zhou... he wanted to make political investments in him.

Miss Li Er was a little angry: "Mr. Shen has a high position and a powerful position, so he will not understand the suffering of the common people. My Li family has goods for the court, which is exactly related to the person surnamed Zhou. Now it seems... Isn't the culprit behind the scene Lord Shen? Our Li family will not dare to be high, and the private girl will take her leave now... Woo woo..."

Speaking of the back, she actually covered her face and cried, as if she was hurt, turned around and ran towards the sedan chair, and got into the sedan chair directly.

As the sedan chair left, Chen Xi thought for a long time before she realized... Fatty Zhou and the Li family were indeed in conflict with interests. Now, Fat Zhou relied on the support of the court and might be doing something to bully the market. The Li family knew Chen Xi's identity, so they wanted to ask him to help, but unexpectedly they saw him "collude" with Fat Zhou.

Chen Xi sighed helplessly: "Since your Li family is doing business, you should have understood that businessmen cannot provoke the government. Now they are just detaining your goods, and it is good that you don't let your family die."

As for the injustice of the Li family, it is not something that Chen Xi needs to care about. The Li family and Fatty Zhou do business differently. The Li family can only be regarded as a duty businessman, and Fatty Zhou is a business gang with a background in the world.

Even if Fatty Zhou does not have the court as a backer, it will not be easy for the Li family to defeat Fatty Zhou in the business world.

Fortunately, this is at the foot of the emperor in the capital, otherwise it would be possible that Fatty Zhou's family would dominate, just like Song Xier, the overlord in Fuzhou City.

The next day, as soon as Chen Xi arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Xizhou came to Chen Xi and said, "Comrade Chen, be careful in doing things so as not to cause trouble."

Chen Xi was very strange: "Is something wrong?"

Zhu Xizhou sighed, shook his head again, but said nothing. When Chen Xi sat down, they all avoided Chen Xi.

It was not until Lun Wenxue came that Chen Xi understood what happened... It turned out that someone wrote a book in front of the emperor, and the charge was "reproaching national affairs without knowing how to be gentle."

These two sins are not big or small. Chen Xi thought that the reason was that he was used by Xie Qian and submitted an old story about the Jianwen period, and it was related to the memorial on border defense that he submitted in the first few days.

It was clearly targeted by the censor!

The people from the Hanlin Academy were somewhat malicious. Seeing that Chen Xi was first arrived, Xie Qian was valued by him. Many people were jealous, including the official from Kedao who participated in his memorial and mentioned that he and his colleagues were not harmonious enough, and begged the emperor to demote Chen Xi and release him.

Chen Xi still agrees with the exile. He is young, which does not mean that he cannot be an official in the local area, but he does not agree with the demotion. He is originally from the sixth rank, and it is okay to be a demotion. If he is a seventh rank, the Beijing official will often be promoted to the third level, and it is more than enough to be a county magistrate in a big county. But if he is demoted again and even the county magistrate cannot be a county magistrate, it is better to stay in the Hanlin Academy while doing research and understanding the way of becoming an official.

Chen Xi was reported on June 15th, and the news spread in the Hanlin Academy was June 16th. As a result, on June 17th, Xie Qian came with a transfer order from the Ministry of Personnel and calmly explained to Chen Xi: You have been temporarily transferred from the Hanlin Academy to work in Youchunfang, Zhan Shi Mansion.

Chen Xi was not demoted, not even transferred at the same level, but was promoted to the next level.

After Chen Xi arrived at the Youchunfang of Zhan Shi Mansion, he was promoted to the Youzhongyun, and his official position was in the sixth rank. This means that Chen Xi had just taken office as a Hanlin editor who was a sixth rank and was promoted to the extreme for only two months.

"It may be more tiring to go to Zhanshi Mansion to do things, but it is much less than the office work of Hanlin Academy... If you have to concentrate on doing things, you will definitely achieve great things in the future." Xie Qian said in an encouragement tone.

The nature of the Youzhongyun in the Youchunfang of Zhanshifu is similar to that of the prince's companion. There is no need to explain any knowledge to the prince, but it is necessary to record the content of the prince's daily learning, and record the prince's daily life, including when the prince gets up, when to eat, when to study, when to sleep, etc. The left and right Zhongyun are two people, which belong to the shift system, two people a day.

Chen Xi summarized it, it was no different from playing with the prince.

From the perspective of being an official, transferring the Zhanshi Mansion from the Hanlin Academy is a good person and is close to the prince, especially a prince like Zhu Houzhao who has no brothers to compete for the throne. That is simply a prosperous road for the future. Chen Xi also knew that Emperor Hongzhi was not healthy and would die in a few years. Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne as a young man, which was a good opportunity for him to achieve great success in the officialdom.

But Chen Xi always felt that the prince Zhu Houzhao was not very reliable. There were too many evil people around him. Liu Jin was enough for him to deal with it, not to mention the "Eight Tigers".

Xie Qian sent the transfer order and left immediately. Everyone gathered to congratulate Chen Xi.

But amid the congratulations, he was somewhat envious and jealous. He was originally worried that Chen Xi would compete for the position of attending the Hanlin Academy, but now he knew that Chen Xi was indeed promoted, but he was promoted to the Zhan Shi Mansion and taught the prince.

You should know that the current chief minister Liu Jian is from the Zhan Shi Mansion and is responsible for teaching the prince. When Zhu Youzhang ascended the throne, Liu Jian entered the cabinet as the Grand Secretary of the Government. Now he is the chief minister and is the highest-ranking minister.

Zhu Xizhou exclaimed with envy and praise: "Shen Zhongyun is really the first person in the Ming Dynasty. He was the top scholar in the Hanlin at the age of thirteen. Now he is lucky to be by the side of the prince. The prince is young. With Shen Zhongyun's age... he will definitely do something in the future."

Zhu Xizhou mainly envied Chen Xi's age.

If a Hanlin, who is thirty or forty, is transferred to the position of Youzhongyun, at most he will be an old scholar to record the prince's daily life and study. However, Chen Xi is only thirteen years old and is still a half-year-old child. When Youzhongyun records the prince's daily life, it means that he can basically be with the prince at all times. Chen Xi can easily play with the prince who is only eight years old this year.

If you become the prince’s playmate and still be the prince’s “sir”, will you treat it unfairly in the future?

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Brother Zhu is so proud of me. I just want the prince not to dislike me, just send me to the frontier."

Zhu Xizhou didn't know why Chen Xi said this suddenly. After being stunned, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He heard what Chen Xi said. Perhaps it was because the prince was now willing to act recklessly because of lack of control and often called and scolded people around him. It was a "naughty child". It was not a good thing to offend the naughty child. The key was that the naughty child's father and mother were biased towards their son. Whoever took care of the prince had a deviation, would be punished.

Chen Xi was promoted to the position of the Hanlin Academy and immediately put down his work. He would naturally have someone else to take over his business. What he was originally responsible for was just writing books, referring to the classics, laws and regulations of his predecessors. There was not much content to add on his own. As long as the work at hand was handed over, he could report to the Ministry of Personnel and take office the next day.

It took only two months before and after Chen Xi went from the sixth rank to the sixth rank. Although it did not set a record for the fastest promotion in the Ming Dynasty, it was very rare after all.

Chen Xi went to the Ministry of Personnel to take her new outfit, and then returned home.

As a result, Chen Xi met Wang Lingzhi, who looked disappointed at the door of his house.

"...Senior brother, the Ministry of War has transferred me to the border to serve. I don't know where to go. But I heard that the border is extremely hard and may not be full from time to time. Senior brother, do you think there is any way to keep me in the capital?" Wang Ling came up with a plea and looked at Chen Xi with a begging.

Chen Xi said angrily: "Since the Ministry of War sent you to the border to serve, that's your priority. Don't worry, it will only take one or two years to go there for at most. If you sharpen your skills in the border, it will be easy to get promoted."

Wang Lingzhi said with a bitter face: "But I want to go home. I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I miss them..."

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly. After all, Wang Lingzhi was still an ungrown child. It was a bit cruel to face the bloody storm on the battlefield so early. However, when Huo Qubing rode a horse and became the champion in the grassland, he was only seventeen years old... He was not as ambitious as he was old!

"Don't worry, with your senior brother here, I'll give you a quick promotion. When you succeed and become famous, you will be able to go back to see your parents." Chen Xi patted his chest and said.

Wang Lingzhi heard this and widened his eyes and grinned, "I knew my senior brother was the most capable, so I should write me a secret book..."

No matter when, Wang Lingzhi knew that Chen Xi's secrets were effective, and this time Chen Xi's secrets were indeed targeted, because Chen Xi knew clearly that the process of Da Yan's offense in the next year, as long as he informed Wang Lingzhi of these contents, and appropriately asked Wang Lingzhi to use some means to prevent them, and then taught him some effective methods of training in daily life. It would not be difficult for this kid to make achievements. But Chen Xi was afraid that his mind was inflexible and could not integrate what he taught.

"When will you set off?" Chen Xi asked.

Wang Lingzhi lowered his head again: "In two days, Butler Liu and Uncle Shen will set off for Tingzhou. Even if I return to the capital in the future, I can only join you, my senior brother."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Two days are enough. Remember everything you teach you. When you arrive at the military camp, don't ask people about what I teach you."

Wang Lingzhi smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid. They are all from the masters. When I ask others, don't they learn it?"

Chen Xi thought to himself that this kid had at least a little cleverness, so he nodded and praised: "That's good, I'm afraid that you will not be proficient in learning and will lose your face as a master. Okay, go back and wait for the afternoon to come and I will write the secret book for you. But you must remember that the things I wrote are exquisite. In addition to memorizing them, you must practice diligently. When you truly master them, you will be a powerful general on the battlefield, shining our master."

Wang Lingzhi couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, and he raised his arms and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely work hard!"

After driving Wang Lingzhi away, Chen Xi entered the yard. As soon as he came in, he saw Xie Yuner covering her mouth and laughing. Chen Xi asked, "What's so funny about Madam?"

Xie Yuner reluctantly put away her smile: "I heard from my grandfather who taught the prince, and those who didn't know thought they were really a disciple of the master, but I think that my grandfather should be teaching the master on behalf of the master."

Chen Xi smiled and didn't answer. He handed over the official uniform seal and ribbons at hand to Ning'er next to him. Xie Yun'er immediately noticed something was different and asked in surprise: "Have you promoted?"

"Not?"

Chenxi Road, "I will be transferred from the sixth rank to the official position. I won't have to go to the Hanlin Academy in the future. I will be transferred to the Youchunfang of Zhanshi Mansion. I will almost accompany the prince to play around in the future."

ps: The twelfth update is here!

The emperor found that human energy was limited after all. When he was coding this chapter, his head was no longer enough. He was confused and slept in front of the computer for a while!

I guess I can get another chapter before the early morning, and the remaining two chapters will be made up tomorrow!
Chapter completed!
