After a tragic battle, in the face of the death-and-death battle of the Huainan Provincial officials and troops and the soldiers and horses of King Qin, who were constantly coming from the imperial court, the Manzhen army finally chose to retreat.

At this time, the people of Beijing, who have been frightened and tortured for the past month, can finally let go of the worries in their hearts. They walked out of their homes one after another, running happily to tell each other, and the city was boiling and full of cheers of victory.

According to the will of His Majesty today, after the war stopped, Jingzhao Yin Yamen also issued a notice to lift the curfew for the next three days, and the officials and people in the city could celebrate to their heart's content.

Zhao Huan also went to the city tower in person that night, and set up a banquet to invite the civil and military officials of the court and some respected people in the city to show that he was happy with the people.

The sound of firecrackers, the city has been tossing all night, the people are excited, everyone almost sleepless, all night carnival.

After several days of celebrations, the celebratory atmosphere in the city faded a little.

As the war passed, the lives of the people in the city gradually returned to normal, and everyone began to be busy with their daily livelihood as usual.

Today, after receiving the holy decree, Lin Fan's father and son are going to the palace to thank him, which is also the first time Lin Fan has gone out since he was injured, and it is also the first time he has come to the streets of the capital.

The carriage of the Lin Mansion drove slowly on the street, the streets of the capital were paved with stone slabs, and they were not very smooth, and the carriage was still a little bumpy on it, which was not comfortable for Lin Fan, who was injured.

Fortunately, the speed of the car was not very fast, and after a few days of recuperation, Lin Fan's body also recovered a little, and he could still endure this level of bumps.

Out of curiosity, Lin Fan gently lifted the corner of the curtain on the car window, and he quietly observed the situation on the street through the gap in the car curtain.

Without the threat of war at hand, the people were finally able to live their own peaceful lives again, and the streets were back to their former bustle.

The streets are full of traffic, and all kinds of pedestrians come and go. Vendors along the street are constantly shouting and selling, introducing their goods to everyone who passes by.

On this slightly congested street, the carriage can't be fast even if it wants to, not to mention that Lin Ruxian thought about Lin Fan's body, and specially instructed the coachman not to go too quickly, as long as he didn't miss something.

The lively scene outside made the corners of Lin Fan's mouth hook up a smile, this kind of fireworks atmosphere in the market seems to be unremarkable, but it is really comfortable.

In the past, people always ignored these peaceful and beautiful days, but now that wars are raging and people are struggling to make a living, such peace is even more precious.

Quietly lowering the curtain, Lin Fan turned his gaze back to the car and looked at Lin Ruxian quietly.

As if noticing Lin Fan's gaze, Lin Ruxian, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, quietly opened his eyes.

He chuckled and asked, "Fan'er, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Lin Fan shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that it's the first time I've entered the palace to see His Majesty, and I'm a little nervous in my heart. ”

Lin Ruxian chuckled and comforted him: "It's okay, with your performance in this battle, Your Majesty has a very good impression of you now, and he will only be tolerant of you, where will there be blame!" ”

"Besides, you are still young, and this is the first time to enter the palace, even if you have some panic and mistakes, Your Majesty will only find it interesting, not displeased!"

Father's words made the tension in Lin Fan's heart disappear a lot, and he no longer looked like a gang

That's why I'm so worried.

At this time, Lin Ruxian asked again: "Don't you want to ask you that you have made such a great contribution this time, and Your Majesty likes you, so why is Your Majesty's reward for you just a four-grade loose official, but he didn't even give you an actual position?" ”

"Actually, when the will first came down, I also had doubts. It's just that when I left the mansion just now, I figured it out, Your Majesty will do this, and most of it has the meaning of you, father! ”

"Also, although I originally had the status of a five-rank martial artist, as a civil official, the position of Shenzhou Tongju was only a sixth-grade grade."

"Now I have become a Zhongshun doctor of the fourth grade, which is equivalent to being promoted to four levels in a row."

"In this battle, I can be appreciated by His Majesty, not because of how great my military achievements are. It's that the performance of the other officials and soldiers in the court is really unsatisfactory, and the short one is pulling out the general, and I just happened to meet it to make His Majesty feel that my performance was outstanding. ”

"In fact, if you really want to talk about your military exploits, such a reward is worthy of the merits I have made, and even surpasses it. If it were someone else, I would have been secretly happy in my heart a long time ago! ”

"Therefore, even if I am ignorant and frivolous, I should not be dissatisfied with this matter, let alone resentful." Lin Fan replied.

Lin Ruxian was very pleased that Lin Fan could realize this: "A few days ago, Your Majesty did have the intention of rewarding you well, and even had the slightest idea of being knighted, but I stopped it!" ”

"The reason why I did this is very simple, most of the young people of Dayun's age are still studying hard for the fame of a showman, and some of them are still just a child until they are full of gray hair, and you are now only a high-ranking official in the imperial court."

"The imperial court is the place where seniority is the most important, you are still too young, and now among the officials of the fourth rank and above in the world, except for the meritorious children who have been able to attack the title of lord because of their ancestors' meritorious deeds, there are few who are under the age of thirty. Among the members of the second and third grades, there are not a few people who have white hair. ”

"If such a young you suddenly appeared in a group of red and purple ministers, it would be too eye-catching."

"The title of the court should not be awarded lightly, if your merits can be suppressed, those people will not be able to say anything no matter how dissatisfied they are. But although your achievements this time are not small, they have not yet reached the point where they can be on a par with those important ministers of the court. ”

"If Your Majesty really rewards you out of a momentary pleasure, so that you can become a leading existence above the court."

"Not to mention the habit of those ministers who don't look at it, that is, Your Majesty admires you again, if you see this kind of scene, I'm afraid that most of you will not like it."

"Once Your Majesty has a bad impression of you, coupled with those cold guns and hidden arrows that can't be prevented at all, it will not be a good thing for you to continue like this in the long run!"

"And although you are now only a fourth-grade vacant position, it seems that you have lost a chance to ascend to the sky in one step, and if you want to be promoted again in the future, I don't know when you will have to wait."

"However, with His Majesty's emphasis on you, as long as you have the opportunity, you can turn into a real shortage at any time. You're still young, and the last thing you need is opportunity! ”

"As long as you have made enough and great contributions, then you don't have to fight for your official position and status at all, and it will naturally be given to you at that time. Even if those people in the court are not convinced, they have to obediently shut their mouths. ”

"That's the way it is, but in the final analysis, it is also your father who has affected your career, so that you will have a few more twists and turns on your official road in the future, and you have nothing to blame me!"

Lin Fan shook his head again and said: "Father is serious, as your son, I won't even be able to see this thing clearly, how can I blame my father." ”

"Besides, although I value official positions, I don't really care very much. It's best to have nature, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, just let it be! ”

Lin Fan's words made Lin Ruxian happier than he was when he entered the cabinet, and he laughed loudly: "I should have this mentality when I wait for those who become officials!" ”

He said to Lin Fan: "As an official, in order to benefit one party, do some practical things for the court and the people." ”

"Since officials have come out to be officials, it is reasonable for them to engage in officialdom management in order to obtain higher official positions, and this cannot be demanded or demanded."

"The world's scholars, ten years of hard study, in addition to their own self-cultivation and the ambition of governing the country and leveling the world, is it not for the title of the gold list to be known to the world, to be able to enter the phase and shine on the lintel?"

"And if a person wants to realize his life's ambition, he must stand high enough, otherwise everything will be empty talk."

"But if an official is too obsessed with utilitarianism and only thinks about officialdom climbing, he is putting the cart before the horse."

"If the utilitarian heart is too heavy, it is difficult to keep the original heart, whether it is to cater to the boss, in order to obtain fame and fortune, it is difficult to do something out of the ordinary."

"Whether it is for the official or for the people, once the bottom line is lost, it is a very terrible thing, especially for court officials."

"If ordinary people can only harm the people around them even if they are evil, then if the officials are evil, it will be bad luck for the people under their rule!"

"The greater the official position of such a person, the greater the harm. If you are the official of a county, you will harm the land of a county, and if you are the governor of a state, you will harm the people of a state. If it is allowed to enter the center of the court, it will be a disaster for everyone in the world! ”

"It's really good that you can see these things and not be confused by official positions and fame, and I'm very happy. But it's easier said than done, now that you're still young, you naturally feel that these are nothing, even if you don't want it this time, there are still many opportunities to get these things in the future, and it is precisely because of this that you will not be in a hurry! ”

"However, in a few years, when you get older, the opportunities for making achievements will gradually decrease, and the official position may rise more and more slowly. At that point, you may not be able to see things the way you see things today. ”

"So you have to be always vigilant, and don't change your mindset one day in order to get something!"

"The father teaches, the child remembers, always be afraid, and never dare to forget for a moment!" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

Lin Ruxian stroked his beard: "I'm just giving you a reminder, there's no need for this, everything must have a degree, it's too much." You young people, you have a lot of time, and there is no need to be cautious about everything. A lot of times, the more you do that, the more things will go in a direction you don't want to see. ”

The father said both the right and the back, but Lin Fan didn't dare to refute it, so he had to say, "Yes, the child knows!" ”

The father and son were so engaged in talking that the sounds of pedestrians and roadside hawkers on the street gradually became scarce, and the road became smoother, and even the speed of the car was much faster.

At this time, the coachman reminded in a low voice outside: "Master, young master, we are about to arrive, and further ahead is Miyagi!" ”

"Well, we know, you go on, and then call us when it's time, thank you!" Lin Ruxian replied softly.
