Chapter 68: The Audience

Sun Chengzong was originally the teacher of Emperor Taichang, but since the death of Emperor Taichang, there have been no new appointments in the imperial court. His Hanlin editor is just a false title, so he has been at home these days.

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, the difference on Yang He's face flashed, although he had seen this old man a few times before, he really hadn't dealt with him much. At this time, when he came to this adult's house, Yang He found that this was really a good official, and at this time alone, it was not easy to be honest and self-reliant.

After a slight sigh, Yang He smiled and said, "Master Sun, you can't save the money for this banquet, although you don't invite me to wait in, but you can't avoid this wine." ”

Yang He glanced at the house behind Sun Chengzong, no matter how you look at it, such a house is inhabited by farmers in the countryside, it is difficult to imagine that a dignified generation of emperors actually lives in such a place.

Just when Sun Chengzong wanted to ask why, a group of people came again in front of this sparse door, but this time the people who came were different.

A little cyan pride doesn't look the slightest special, and it's not even as good as the pride of those rich people in the countryside. What makes people dare not underestimate these people is the group of people who are guarding in front of the arrogant son, that is the Praetorian Guard, the guard of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

With the lifting of the arrogant curtain, a eunuch in palace clothes walked out slowly, and when he saw the official standing at the door, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency came early!" It seems that our family is late. ”

"Grandpa Chen, it's useless for us to come early! It's still up to you! Yang He had no prejudice against this Gonggong Chen, knowing that this old man was not only favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but also quite upright, and was not the same kind of person as those eunuchs who were treacherous and evil.

"Lord Yang said this, our family can't afford it. I don't know which one is Lord Sun? Come out and take the order! Chen Hong slowly walked towards the crowd, and after scanning the crowd, his eyes fell on Sun Chengzong's face.

"Minister, Sun Chengzong received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Although Sun Chengzong was a little inexplicable, he still obediently knelt on the ground to receive the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Sun Chengzong was born in Jinshi, known as talented, and was the teacher of the first emperor. Since I ascended the throne, I have been cautious, fearing that I will not be entrusted by the emperor. Sun Chengzong is hereby crowned as a scholar of the Imperial Palace and walks into the cabinet. The special order was crowned as the emperor's teacher, and he entered the palace to teach me to read. Chin this. With Chen Hong's reading, Sun Chengzong's body was trembling uncontrollably, and he had finally waited for so many years.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Respectfully accepting the holy decree, although Sun Chengzong's expression was a little excited, his face was full of relief.

Looking at Sun Chengzong's appearance and glancing at the house behind him again, Chen Hong secretly said in his heart: "This Lord Sun is really extraordinary, no wonder Your Majesty values it so much." ”

"Lord Sun, Your Majesty knows that adults live a hard life, and this is a reward from Your Majesty." Chen Hong said as he beckoned to the Praetorian Guard behind him, and the Praetorian Guard understood and walked over with a wooden plate, on top of which was covered with a piece of red silk.

Gently picked up the silk, and suddenly revealed the silver-white thing inside, Chen Hong smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Here are five hundred taels of silver, which Your Majesty gave to Lord Sun, I hope Lord Sun can laugh." ”

Looking at the dazzling silver, Sun Chengzong sighed a little in his heart, it seems that this young son of heaven is really not simple! Gently picked up a piece of silver, put it in Chen Hong's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen has worked hard this time." ”

Earning the silver in his hand, Chen Hong suddenly laughed, it seems that this Lord Sun is not an old stubborn man who eats the ancients, and he also understands things!

"Everyone, the old man is going back to change his clothes, everyone, etc. Everyone came to congratulate the old man, and the old man invited this meal. Nodding at Chen Hongxiao, Sun Chengzong turned his gaze to Yang He and the others who were standing on the side, and smiled.

With the end of the Cabinet First Auxiliary Incident, the entire court seems to have returned to its former atmosphere, although it is lifeless, but it is also orderly. The Donglin Party also seemed to acquiesce to this result, and the Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu Party seized the time to contact the neutral ministers, and it seemed that they were the protagonists in the imperial court.

In the Qianqing Palace, the Imperial Study, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is summoning Sun Chengzong, the new cabinet chief assistant scholar.

Neither of them spoke, they were all looking at each other, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't stop looking at this famous minister at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and his eyes flashed with joy. At the same time that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was looking at Sun Chengzong, the new bachelor was also looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The cowardly boy in my impression is gone, replaced by a face full of perseverance, and the light between the opening and closing of his eyes is constantly flashing, and he looks very extraordinary.

"Sun Aiqing, how are these days? Is there something going on at home? You can talk to me. Glancing at Sun Chengzong, who was calm and relaxed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but secretly admire this old gentleman, this kung fu alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine in the old minister's house, and Your Majesty Lao is worried." Sun Chengzong bowed slightly to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, slightly grateful

Although it was late, the Ouchi Imperial Palace was still brightly lit, and everyone in the palace knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was summoning Sun Chengzong, a new cabinet scholar.

For this new cabinet scholar, both inside and outside the palace, they all think that this is a minister who is deeply favored by the emperor. In the imperial study, the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Sun Chengzong were facing each other, with a few dishes and a pot of wine on the table.

"Sun Aiqing, I'm very happy today, have a few drinks with me!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a good mood, and it could be seen from his face that such a smile was rare for such a long time. This made Li Lan, who was standing on the side, even more curious, who is this Sun Chengzong, and why does the Emperor of the Apocalypse value it so much?

Compared with the happiness of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong was a little nervous, in the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was nothing for the minister and the emperor to eat together. But in the Ming Dynasty, few people were able to get such an honor except for the great canon. Gently picking up the wine glass on the table, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no merit, and it is difficult to sleep and eat." ”

For this old minister who has been up and down in the sea, the experience of this life is very bumpy, although he won the show at the age of sixteen, but the good luck seems to have run out at that time. It wasn't until sixteen years later that the thirty-two-year-old Sun Chengzong was admitted to the juren. Sun Chengzong, who originally thought that his good luck had come, found that fate had played a joke on him again. It wasn't until eleven years later that Sun Chengzong was admitted to the Jinshi, and Sun Chengzong was forty-three years old at this time. Although it is the list that won the exam, it can also be said that it is a late achievement.

That's it for today, thank you! Good night to all!
