Without answering the questions of the second brother and the eldest brother, Liu Yiyi silently picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it into his throat.

Liufu now has that little financial resources, and also has the means and connections, in the past two years, Liu Yiyi has been running around in Chang'an, and the magnates he has made friends with are almost all over the court, literati, military generals, or grace, or affection, there are many people who intersect against each other, to put it mildly, if Liu Yiyi thinks, it is indeed possible to make Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen suddenly trace in a short period of time, and even rise higher than now.

It's just that why hasn't Yanagichichi done that all along?

Can't think of it? Of course not, in fact, as early as a year ago, when Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwenke won the examination, Liu Yiyi's heart had such thoughts, but for some reasons, he never specifically cashed out.

It's not that I don't want them to be good, it's not that I don't want them to climb higher, in fact, what the Liu family lacks most now is one or two big trees that can really be relied on, what can be closer and more trustworthy than their direct brothers?

But why did you do it all the time?

In a word, they are still too young, Liu Ertiao will not say it, now he is less than eighteen years old, Mao has not yet grown up, Zhang Chuwen said that he was his eldest brother, but in fact he was two years younger than himself, only a few months older than the kid in Ertiao, such two young people, to have no experience, to have no experience, to have no experience, directly to the central institution of the Tang Dynasty to do the four officials, is that good for them? That's hurting them!

The four-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty, according to the modern official grade, that is, equivalent to the deputy ministerial level or provincial deputy officials, have you ever seen a college student who has just graduated from school, can he go to Fengyang or a certain province to be a deputy minister or vice governor?

Even if they have some talents themselves, they can also do some practical things, but they become officials. Is it possible to get a little talent just by having some talents, and to be able to mix like a fish in water? If this is the case, there are many talented people in the world, why are there only so many people who can be high-ranking officials?

Again, they are still too young to afford such a high position, and the higher they stand before they accumulate enough experience and qualifications, the more painful the fall will be. For example, this kind of way of pulling out seedlings to help them grow is small, although the scenery is infinite and glorious, but from a distance, in terms of their long-term career prospects, this is not a good thing to celebrate.

Seeing that everyone in the family was red and happy, there were some things that Liu Yiyi didn't want to say now. So as not to sweep the family's interest, in vain to make them worry about the hanging, so to their second child's question, Liu Yiyi did not respond directly, just patted him on the shoulder, and said: "This matter, let's talk about it in detail in the study later, now what you have to do is mainly to eat and drink to celebrate, don't sweep away the interest of your father." ”

"The food given by the emperor himself, but only those who live in the palace can eat delicious, it can't be wasted, everyone eats more, don't be polite" took over Liu's words, Lao Liu was very proud to hold a wine glass to the table full of juniors. Turning his head to look at the three of Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuwen, he said: "Especially the three of you little boys, two of them have been promoted to high-ranking officials, and one has newly saved the prince, all of them are meritorious and famous people, and you should eat more, so as not to disappoint the emperor and his old man."

"Yes, it's all thanks to the blessings of your three children, otherwise, how could I, an old woman, have the blessing to eat a royal banquet that only the emperor can eat?" Liu He said casually, looking at the three juniors in the family with joy, especially the eldest son of their family, Liu He's heart is the same as Ming Jing'er, if it weren't for the eldest son of their family who saved the prince. Just relying on the two fourth-grade officials in the family is not enough to attract a special banquet from the emperor.

The two elders were happy, no one here dared to give them what they meant, toasting, eating and drinking, carefully staggered, the atmosphere on the table was also harmonious and festive, the family ate about half an hour of effort, and finally was full of wine and food, full of interest, Lao Liu and Liu He were rarely happy, they drank two more glasses during the banquet, and after eating, they were all waited by the next person to go back to the bedroom to rest. When I left, I didn't want to give instructions in my mouth, and I don't want to throw away the leftover food, after all, it was given by the emperor, and it was best to let the people in the house eat some and be happy.

"Erjo, Brother Chu Wen, let's go to the study to talk." ordered someone to remove the banquet according to the old man's and old lady's instructions, and Liu Yiyi also got up and invited the two to go to the study in the house. As for Chu Chu and Cai Yao's younger brother and daughter-in-law, who are pregnant, they don't need to worry about him, a big man, and he can't intervene in the affairs between them surnamed Yao.

"So, this matter is not what the eldest brother is doing?" Entering the study, the three of them sat down in turn, and heard Liu Yiyi speak out, and Liu Ertiao asked in great surprise.

"Sister-in-law, do you know who did this? Zhang Chuwen also put away the joy on his face, and sighed cautiously... Buckle looks! "What the hell is he thinking?" The flying upgrade has already made the two of them feel at a loss, in just one year, they jumped directly from the ninth grade to the fourth grade of the current dynasty, and they were not even prepared for an excessive buffer in the middle, which is really a bit incredible.

I thought that these were all the meanings and arrangements of Liu Ichijo. Although the two were confused, they were not worried, they had a big brother and a sister-in-law. They rest assured, no matter what, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will not harm them in the end.

But now, when they heard that this incident was not Liu Yiyi's doing, the hearts of the two of them panicked.

The foundation is unstable, the experience is insufficient, and the qualifications are even more shallow, for their own shortcomings, Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen are very clear, if there is no strong enough backer above, let alone handle normal official affairs, I am afraid that even the officials under their own command will not be able to deter. There are those officials in the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, which one is not a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, who will willingly obey the orders of a little hairy head? The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will blow, the youngest four-grade official in the Tang Dynasty, it sounds good to say, and it looks like a beautiful thing, but who knows if it will cut off the source of your career?

In officialdom, rising too fast is sometimes not a good thing.

"It seems that you also know the disadvantages of this" Seeing the reaction of the two, Liu Yiyi nodded with satisfaction, not carried away by this sudden promotion, his mind was still sober and keen, it seems that the experience in this position in the county over the past year has not been in vain. Two intermediaries. The human mind has matured and stabilized a lot.

"But you don't have to worry" Glancing up at the two of them, Liu Yiyi took a sip of the hot tea on the table, and said, "If my guess is right, this matter should be the meaning of the emperor and his old man." There is the emperor behind you to support you, not to mention a small four-grade official, that is, a squire and a scholar, you can also do it. ”

Having said that, Liu Yiyi didn't mean to be happy at all, he wanted to know, what was the purpose of Li Shigu doing this?

Gratitude? Compensate? Is it because he saved the crown prince twice and the eldest grandson queen once? Slowly putting the tea bowl on the table, Liu Yiyi shook his head lightly, if this is the case, as early as a year ago, after he rescued the eldest grandson queen, Li Shimin would have done this, why do you have to delay it until now?

"Your Majesty?!" Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen glanced at each other, and there was a bit of surprise in their surprise, if they didn't have a little worries, no one would not like to raise their official position higher.

"After a while, I will ask Ming Ze to give each of you 100,000 yuan of silver from the tent" Seeing the joy in the eyes of the two, Liu Yiyi put aside the doubts in his heart, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Taking advantage of these few days of leisure, you are all in Chang'an, and you all go to visit your respective bosses and colleagues." Don't be rude. Erjo didn't say anything, and nodded directly, after all, they were brothers, so they didn't need to be too polite, but Zhang Chuwen felt a little embarrassed, and said to Liu Yiyi very shyly.

"The family doesn't talk about the two families, but Brother Chu Wen's words are a little out of sight" Liu Yiyi said lightly: "You and Erjo are my brothers. Relatives, you can make a difference, me, and our house even have a lot of brilliance on their faces. ”

"Besides, the most important thing in our Liufu is silver money, just 100,000 yuan, all of which are innocent, not greedy or robbed, and useless." Liu Yiyi said: "Also, the bigger the official does, the more your daily expenses will be, no matter what position you can achieve, there is one thing I hope you can remember clearly, if you are tight, directly with the ward at home, whether it is 100,000, 100,000 or 10 million." The house can make it up for you. Family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, but don't be blinded by money, violate the law, and do such a corrupt thing, it's not worth it. ”

"The eldest brother and sister-in-law are right, the younger brother has been taught by his brother!" Hearing Liu Yiyi's sincerity, the two of them got up and saluted, especially Zhang Chuwen, who was even more moved when he saw his brother-in-law treating him so sincerely.

"Also, if you have time tomorrow, you can also go to the East Palace to walk around" Nodding lightly, Liu Yijier said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also helped you a lot at the beginning, and now that he is seriously injured, you should go and visit now." ”

"My sister-in-law doesn't say it, but my brother also has this plan." Zhang Chuwen answered softly, and Liu Ertiao also echoed.

"Well, if you see the crown princess, remember not to offend" Liu Yiyi confessed to the two of them in a cut voice: "If possible, remember not to oppose her in the future, if you can make friends." Just try to make friends with them. ”
