After Sanniang finally changed into a gorgeous dress, the holy decree and the edict were sent to the Wuzhi Mansion by the palace edict eunuch.

After Wu Zhi and Sanniang clarified the misunderstanding, in order to prevent trouble, they explained to Jin Lian Xue'er that the three daughters are now completely free of entanglements in their hearts, and they are very obedient to receive the will and the book.

………

in the inner hall.

"Now, in front of several ladies and adults in the future, I will never be able to sit on the main seat in the future!"

After the eunuch left, Wu Zhi smiled bitterly and said, the grade of the ladies is three levels higher than their own!

"It's as if you can sit on the throne without receiving the edict........." Cher said as she reclined in her chair and flipped through the edict without raising her head.

Wu Zhi is embarrassed, indeed, as long as there are no outsiders, whether it is eating at home or sitting in the inner hall and chatting together, it is never Wu Zhi who sits on the main seat...... Wu Zhi has long developed a habit, every time he sits down, even if the main seat is not occupied by Xue'er or Sanniang, Wu Zhi will consciously sit in the second... The position of the fourth place.

"Official, you see that our grades are higher than yours, you have to work hard!" Sanniang said with a smile.

"Then what do you want me to do to be an official?" Wu Zhi asked.

"We're all second-grade, you should at least mix a first-grade, right?"

"Hammer it off...... It is estimated that by the time I get to the first-class official position, the children of the four boys in our family will have children........." Wu Zhi said leisurely.

In the court of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to be a first-class official, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to climb to the sky; It's not hard to say, but it's not that hard.

It is difficult to say that the officials in the Great Song Dynasty have been mixed with officialdom for a lifetime, and in the end, on average, the official position is only five grades - that is, most of the people who rely on the middle jinshi to become officials, if they do not make mistakes, they will survive until they are old, and they only have five official positions.

At most, when you retire, the imperial court will give you a few products.

Those officials who can mix the third, second, and first grades are either skilled in human feelings, or have outstanding ability, or have a hard background, and they also have to work on their qualifications, fight for political achievements, and seize the opportunity...... All in all, except for those who rely on the background, they are basically one in a million, the best of the best!

It can be seen that if you want to get a high-ranking official in the Great Song Dynasty, it is really a fight with the difficulty of becoming an official and becoming a member of the Central Standing Committee in later generations.

And it's not difficult to say, it's aimed at people like Yu Wuzhi.

People like Wu Zhi belong to Jane's favorite ministers in the emperor's heart, and they want to be high-ranking officials with two products and one product, as long as they open their mouths like the emperor, they want a quasi-one for safekeeping, what kind of festival envoys, Taishi, Taifu... Even the title of the prince of the country is not a problem, because the current emperor is an authentic faint monarch, a willful faint monarch.

Therefore, it is not difficult for people like Wu Zhi to mix into a high-ranking position.

However, Wu Zhi never dared to ask for the first-grade official position given by the emperor, because once he asked for it, it would mean that Wu Zhi was excluded from the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

A faint monarch is a faint monarch, and officialdom is officialdom.

In the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, the first-grade officials were divided into real posts and fictitious posts, and there was only one first-grade official position in the real position, that is, the prime minister, and others such as the Jiedu envoy, the Taifu, and the Taibao, although these official positions were all first-class, but they were all fictitious. For hundreds of officials, if it were not for the lack of these first-class positions during his tenure as prime minister, it would be equivalent to drawing an end to his political career.

This is the unspoken rule of the Song Dynasty officialdom, including the emperor, when Wang Anshi changed the law and fought with Sima Guang and his faction, this method of completely kicking the other party out of the officialdom after sealing the first rank was tried and tested by all parties, and it was more effective than degrading the official, and the degrading official had a time of recovery, but once he accepted the title of the first grade, he really could not enter the court again.

Therefore, Wu Zhi didn't dare to ask for those high-ranking officials, his main purpose was to really blend into the court, not to be a favored minister and a rich and prosperous person.

In this regard, Zhu Mian is similar to Wu Zhi, he doesn't want the high-ranking officials rewarded by the emperor, but what makes him darker than Wu Zhi is that he asks the emperor for the privileges of many high-ranking officials, so that he can calmly mix with the officialdom, and he can rely on his privileges to make a fortune, and even control the officialdom in Jiangnan.

And Li Yan has no ideals, he has long been mixed into the first-class false position of the Hebei Jiedu envoy, and he only thinks about looting the people's fat and ointment all day long, and is crazy about collecting money.

…………

"Haha! Wait for the children to have children...... Official, you think really far. ”

The three girls smiled yearningly.

Jin Lian, who had not spoken on the side, held the book tightly, although her expression was not shocked, but at this moment among the three daughters, she was the most excited in her heart, as a woman born as a slave, she never thought that she could have today, this is the imperial decree!

For ordinary women in this era, it is the greatest honor in their lives to be able to get the edict, and countless women have worked hard all their lives, and when they are lucky, they can get a letter of edict by virtue of their son's official position.

And Jin Lian is only twenty-three years old now, and it was when she was young that she actually received a letter of second grade...... The goal of a lifetime was achieved ahead of schedule, which made Jin Lian feel like she was dreaming in a trance.

But listening to Wu Zhi's hearty voice in her ears, she knew she wasn't dreaming.

…… Her gaze fell softly on Wu Zhi, Jin Lian's charming eyes flashed with waves, and she bit her delicate red lips, as if she wanted to swallow the official in front of her with an indecent smile but so beloved.

Her eyelashes moved, and Jin Lian's cheeks crept up a few flushes, and she didn't know why she had such strange thoughts about Wu Zhi, and she didn't know why she blushed.

Maybe you know, or maybe you don't.

After the shyness in her heart calmed down, Jin Lian also secretly gritted her teeth, although she got the glory that the women couldn't ask for in advance, but she also knew that she was not enough for this qualification, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all, she looked up at Wu Zhi again, and looked at Xue'er Sanniang beside her, Jin Lian was full of confidence, because she would spend a lifetime to prove that she was definitely qualified to have this fate.

When I first came to Bianjing, everything was low-key, so the ladies had to make a happy event, Wu Zhi's family did not hold a banquet, and they didn't even make a noise, but they just called Bai Shengshiqian and their cronies together, had a meal together, and congratulated them a little.

But this kind of violation of etiquette and law by wives and concubines is not something that no one pays attention to if Wu Zhi's family is low-key, in fact, the day after the holy decree of the edict was issued, the officials who learned of this news immediately exploded, and in private people were naturally very indignant about Wu Zhi's disrespect for etiquette and law.

There are even some imperial historians who have written to the official's house, asking the Ministry of Rites to re-examine this matter, and even whether or not to issue an edict to Mrs. Wu Zhi must be reconsidered.

For these difficult movements, Wu Zhi knew that it was just some signs of the coming storm, not to mention that this matter had disgusted the scholars and doctors who had a deep-rooted concept of etiquette, and it was rare that Wu Zhi showed this flaw after coming to Bianjing, and Zhu Mian, who had been staring at Wu Zhi to bite Wu Zhi, would definitely take the opportunity to suppress Wu Zhi.

Zhu Mian is powerful, I am afraid that after a few days after this matter is brewing, they will become difficult, and Wu Zhi will inevitably be in trouble.

However, Wu Zhi is ready to deal with everything, since he has asked for these three orders for the ladies, he Wu Zhi can bear the trouble of others.

…………

After a few days of heavy snowfall, tomorrow is the day of the court, and Wu Zhi is ready to deal with the reproaches of hundreds of officials in the court, but today something happened that made Wu Zhi quite angry.

The cause of the incident is the two "good neighbors" around Wu Zhi's house!

Unexpectedly, before facing the hundred officials, these two gave Wu Zhi eye medicine in advance!
