Chapter 154
Two days passed in a hurry. Xie Ling and his two men hurriedly hurriedly completed their mission as they wished. After handing over the revised National History, the decree came down. Ling was promoted from being a sixth-rank scholar to a bachelor's degree from the fifth rank, and editor Zhu was also promoted from being a seventh-rank editor to being a sixth-rank editor. There were also some silks and money, etc., which were rewarded by the emperor, which diluted the previous shadow. A lot.
As a rule, in the National History Museum, after a national history is completed, all those who participated in the compilation of the national history will be promoted to the first rank, which is regarded as a reward for their hard work for one or two years. However, Xie Ling only entered the Hanlin Academy for less than a year, and only After revising a piece of national history, he was promoted from Xiu Zhuan to a bachelor's degree. The speed was not unpleasant and made other colleagues envious. However, Zhu Xiu Zhuan was deeply moved and knew that this promotion was not easy.
It is indeed beautiful now, but who knows that at that time, their group almost lost their hats. Of course, these things are not common sense to outsiders.
When you get promoted, you will naturally have to socialize and be welcomed by the officialdom. Xie Ling has been in the Hanlin Academy for so long, so he doesn't understand. When Baiweilou was the host, a group of people exchanged glasses, drank and drank to their heart's content. , then left in twos and threes.
Because Xie Ling was the host, he had to drink a few more drinks. He was busy late into the night these days, and he felt a vague pain between his eyebrows. He stood at the door of the restaurant and felt dazed for a while while feeling the cold wind.
The waiter in the restaurant recognized him and thought he was drunk. He hurriedly came up and said, "Thank you, sir. Can I help you call a carriage?"
Xie Ling pressed her eyebrows and was about to answer when she heard the sound of carriages rumbling in the distance. Horse hooves trampled the snow on the street, dirty snow water splashed away, and the carriage slowly stopped in front of Baiwei Tower. .
When Xie Ling saw it, a smile appeared on her face, she waved her hand and said to the waiter: "Thank you very much, but my wife sent a carriage to pick her up."
Seeing that he was happy, the waiter smiled and flattered him: "Master Xie and your wife have a deep love for each other, which is really enviable."
Just as he was talking, Uncle Liu jumped down from the carriage and said, "Sir, my wife asked me to take you back to the house."
"Are you drunk?"
Xie Ling waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, is Madam back?"
Liu Bodao: "I came back as early as the afternoon. I specially asked me to pick you up. There is still heavy snowfall today, so hurry up and get in the car."
Xie Ling then got into the carriage, and Uncle Liu put down the curtains before driving the carriage back.
After two quarters of an hour, the carriage finally arrived at Xie's house. Uncle Liu came to help him, but Xie Ling refused. He got out of the car and walked quickly to the house.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The warm yellow candlelight in the distance is on. In this late night, it seems like a road guide, with only one light shining in the deep night.
Xie Ling entered the yard. The snow on the ground was swept away to make a clean path. Lanterns were hung under the eaves. The light reflected on the snow in the yard, reflecting a piece of fine light, and the air was cold.
Laughter came from the room, and Xie Ling could clearly recognize Shi Hua's voice just by listening to it. He walked quickly through the courtyard, opened the door and entered the main room. Warm air rushed towards his face, mixed with warmth. fragrant.
A maid cried out: "My lord is back."
There was a charcoal pot burning in the room, and Shi Hua was sitting on the couch under the window, holding a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper in his hand. Seeing Xie Ling come in, she smiled and said, "You're back."
As she was talking, she was about to get down on the bed, but Xie Ling stopped her. She looked at the thing in her hand and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
"Window grilles," Shi Hua gestured with the scissors and said, "I learned it from the nuns at the palace today. Come back and try it."
As she spoke, she smelled the cold air and a slight smell of alcohol, and asked, "Have you drank a lot?"
"After a few drinks," Xie Ling sat down next to her, looked at her hands curiously, and said, "Is this what the window grilles look like?"
Shi Hua distributed some paper and scissors and let Zhu Zhu and the little maids play with them. The maids dispersed and closed the door. Then she carefully opened the paper ball in her hand and said, "This kind of flower ball must first be The paper must be folded to make it easier to cut.¡±
Opening the red paper and smoothing out the wrinkles, it turned out to be a very large flower. It was very delicate. Shi Hua had been learning from the mothers all afternoon. This was the first time she had cut such a flower. She couldn't help but feel very happy. She held up the flower. Hua asked Xie Ling, "Does it look good?"
Xie Ling nodded, then pretended to hesitate: "But"
"What's wrong?" Shi Hua thought something was wrong with the cut, and immediately went to check it carefully, with a bit of nervousness in his tone: "But the cut is broken?"
Xie Ling smiled and said: "The window grilles are certainly beautiful, butHis movements paused for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at him. Dou Mingxuan twisted the white pieces in his hand and said slowly: "There was an urgent report yesterday. The enemy invaded our border and lost 15,000 troops and destroyed a city. Today we are facing an urgent situation." During the meeting, the Ministry of War angered the emperor, and the Minister of War has been charged."
Xie Ling listened quietly without saying a word. Dou Mingxuan paused and said, "My prince and I both feel that this is an opportunity."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Ling and said, "What do you think?"
Xie Ling finally reacted, looked back at him and said, "Teacher and the prince have their own opinions."
If the Minister of War is really dismissed, the system within the Ministry of War will inevitably be shaken up. If Prince Gong wants to insert someone into it, this is indeed an opportunity.
Xie Ling dropped a piece, and Heizi made a slight "click" sound in the silent room, accompanied by his voice: "It's the teacher's turn."
Dou Mingxuan held the white piece in his hand and looked at the chessboard, seeming to be deep in thought. After a moment, he said: "Today His Royal Highness Prince Gong has recommended you to the Ministry of War as a member of the Ministry of War. His Majesty did not agree on the spot, but he did not immediately reject it."
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Ling and said, "You can think of a way to go to Jingyun Gate for duty tomorrow. His Majesty will lecture on classics and history every afternoon. This is your chance."
Dou Mingxuan threw down the chess piece, stood up, took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "Now we are not the only ones who are staring at the Ministry of War, there are also the Ministry of Personnel and the Prince. If you want to be appointed without going through the Ministry of Personnel, this is the only way at the moment."
"So far, there is only the Ministry of War, not an iron barrel," Dou Mingxuan said to Xie Ling in a deep voice: "The Ministry of War is in the hands of the emperor."
Xie Ling squeezed the chess piece slightly with her fingers, then loosened it, and quickly responded: "Student understands." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
