Chapter 195: Benefits (2-in-1)
Chen Daolin and Pete had dinner together.
In terms of official position, the Minister of the Interior is not a core boss in the true sense. This official position, although also called "minister", is actually a big butler in charge of the affairs of the palace.
But it is also a butler, an ordinary aristocratic butler and an emperor's butler, although they are both called butlers, but the meaning is naturally very different.
To be trusted by the emperor and entrust the affairs of the palace, Pete is naturally deeply trusted by the emperor, in his capacity, in the imperial capital, whether it is the bigwigs of all parties, they must have a good relationship with him, even in the face of the imperial prime minister, the minister of military affairs, the minister of finance, etc., these first-class bigwigs will also politely show respect to him.
So there was really no need for Pete to pat the sycophants of such a little magician as Chen Daolin - even if he was appreciated by the emperor. After all, there are many people who the emperor appreciates, and before he really climbed to a high position, he really couldn't deserve a dish in front of the chief steward of the palace.
But this Pete was extremely cautious, and he could see that the Emperor's attitude towards this young magician was implicitly special and different. This attitude does not seem to be simply "appreciation" in the ordinary sense, nor is it just a simple sense of gratitude for Chen Daolin's contribution in the assassination incident.
This attitude, in more sense, seems to be a ...... Intimate!
Yes, it's close!
Whether it is the Roland world or the real world where Chen Daolin lives, most emperors have always been lonely. The so-called lonely people have always been like this in ancient and modern times.
As an empire, you may appreciate many people in your lifetime. Talented, good-looking, capable, etc., these are actually not too rare.
But if you are an emperor, you show obvious closeness to a person.
Well, such a person. Even if you want to be underdeveloped, I'm afraid it's hard!
Pete is very keenly aware of one point - after a lifetime of messing around in the palace, Pete has a fairly accurate grasp of the emperor's personality and context. He could see the Emperor's special attitude towards the young magician.
Since he clearly captured this, he would naturally make a move to turn it in.
It's called investing!
Pete thought very clearly: since this young magician has received such a different look from the emperor, then there is a high probability that he will rise to prominence in the future, and in this case, if he wants to invest emotionally, he must do so as soon as possible! Just make friends with them sincerely.
If you want to burn, you have to burn the cold stove!
Otherwise. Icing on the cake. How can it be more precious to send charcoal in the snow?
The two had dinner together, and Pete sincerely introduced many court rules and various matters to Chen Daolin.
For example, Chen Daolin doesn't care much about the palace title. Court mages and court titles.
Pete told Chen Daolin not to underestimate these two titles that are not costly. Such a title, even in the inner circle of the empire, has a considerable gold content.
With the title of court, the first advantage is that you can ask to see His Majesty the Emperor at any time, and ask for an audience!
This is an extremely important privilege!
If you are an ordinary person without this title, even if you are a rich businessman, it is a fool's dream to see the emperor, if you run to the palace to ask for a meeting, the only end is to be beaten out by the Imperial Forest Army.
And with the title of court, he was regarded by the royal family as his own honored guest. Anytime, anywhere, you can go to the palace to ask for a meeting with His Majesty.
Of course...... If you can't see you, it depends on your mood, or your important journey in your heart.
But no matter what, after all, a door has opened in front of you, a door that can go straight to the heavens!
When a person can have the opportunity to see the emperor from time to time, then this person's identity will naturally become expensive.
And the second benefit, if you have a court title, you will be included in the list of guests on New Year's Day or festivals, or when various heavy celebrations are held, and you will be included in the list of guests, and you will become a guest in the highest circle of this empire!
You can get together with all kinds of imperial magnates, military tycoons, dukes, marquises, counts, etc. You'll have the opportunity to meet these people and be part of high society - can you really get in and don't say, at least you have the quickest opportunity in front of you!
Therefore, court titles and court titles have always been considered to be a very noble status.
With such a title, even in the imperial capital where the empire's first-class wealthy and powerful people gather, others will look up to you because of this, and no matter how you act, you will always get a lot of convenience.
Even if you invest in business, it will be much smoother than others.
Of course, Chen Daolin's title is like this, and the court knighthood of the court knight is also gone. What surprised Pete the most was that the emperor actually gave him the title of a court magician.
Although the title of court magician itself is not an official magician level, the title of court magician has always been awarded only to some people with high magical strength.
And Chen Daolin's strength ...... A low-level magician can be named a court mage, which can no longer be simply described as "exceptional", it is simply a bit subversive!
"That knighthood is fine. After three rounds of drinking, Pete, the old fox, said a little heart-wrenching words, and reminded Chen Daolin: "The title of this court mage is a bit eye-catching, but I am afraid that if it spreads, others may not be convinced." You must know that the imperial capital Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, every year trying to flatter the royal family, trying to catch up with the royal family There are many magicians, but you have won the royal title, such a reward, although it is a gift from His Majesty, but it is inevitable that people will be jealous......"
Chen Daolin immediately understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "My mage's level has never been assessed by the Magic Guild, and I have an important matter when I come to the imperial capital this time." It's a trip to the Magic Guild. ”
After a pause, he continued: "In addition to assessing the level of magicians, I will go to the magic academy to audit in a few days......"
Hear here. Pete smiled and looked at Chen Daolin, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes: "Listen...... Master Darling, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult. ”
"What?" Chen Daolin was puzzled: "This is the matter of listening." Governor Fritz has already made arrangements, and I will enter the Academy of Magic with Master Lucius......"
Pete waved his hand, interrupting Chen Daolin's words, and said, "That Young Master Lucius, it's naturally okay to go to the Academy of Magic to audit." Now that you have the title of court mage, it is not appropriate to go to the magic academy to audit. ”
Chen Daolin's heart moved, and he faintly understood what the other party meant.
Pete continued, "The title of Court Mage. Although it is not considered an official mage rank. But at the very least, it also represents a royal recognition of your magical prowess. Imagine. A magician who even the royal family admires, with the title of court mage, if he goes to the magic academy to be an apprentice who audits. I am afraid that this matter will be spread out very badly. I didn't lose the royal face. So...... As for this matter, please let Your Excellency think again. ”
When Chen Daolin heard this, he solemnly saluted Pete and said slowly: "I remember my lord's mention deeply! Thank you for telling me directly, otherwise, I, a young man, will be ignorant about doing things, and I don't know if I have inadvertently committed a taboo." ”
He earnestly asked: "So...... Will I just push it off this magic academy matter?"
"Push it off...... It seems a pity, too. Pete frowned and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master Darling has just come to the imperial capital, if you want to show your strengths, you must always show some contacts." Since you are a mage, it is also beneficial to go to the magic academy and make more friends. In the name of auditing apprentices, there is naturally a ** share, but I think...... As a court magician, it should be enough to go to the Academy of Magic as a guest magic advisor teacher. ”
Old, teacher?
A teacher at the Academy of Magic?!
Chen Daolin's eyes widened and he couldn't help but open his mouth.
This one...... Seems like the span is a bit too big, right?
As a rookie who has only been learning magic for a few months, he only has the strength of a low-level magician, so he ran into the world's highest magic school, the Imperial Academy of Magic, as a magic teacher?
To teach those magicians who have been immersed in the Dharma for many years?
"Of course, it's not that you should actually be a teacher and preach. Pete saw Chen Daolin's face, knew his concerns, smiled, and said: "The identity of a magic scholar must always be there, and arranging the identity of a research scholar in the magic academy can facilitate your cultivation in the magic academy. There are a lot of rare and ancient books in the collection of the Academy of Magic, and it is also convenient for you to access. ”
Since Pete has the heart to befriend Chen Daolin today, he might as well give a big favor at this moment, so he smiled and said: "As the head of the palace, I also have some personal friends with several court magicians, and there are some old things in this imperial magic academy, since your Excellency is also a member of the palace magicians, I will ask someone to arrange it tomorrow." ”
Chen Daolin stood up again and saluted, and said sincerely: "Thank you for this!"
At the end of dinner, Pete and Chen Daolin left together.
When Chen Daolin was sent to the carriage, Pete suddenly asked as if he was quite meaningful: "Master Darling, are you still living in Liszt's house in the imperial capital?"
Chen Daolin nodded.
Pete glanced at Chen Daolin and said with a slight smile: "You are now a court mage, and you have the title of court knight...... Although you have a bit of a relationship with the Liszt family, if you continue to live in someone else's house, you will always make people gossip. Liszt's family is wealthy, your Excellency is a young man, and others talk about it, but I am afraid that it is not very good, and it will inevitably hurt your reputation. ”
Chen Daolin's heart moved, this is the Minister of Internal Affairs is implicitly reminding himself not to get too close to the Liszt family!
He immediately remembered in his heart that the Liszt family seemed to be deeply involved in the dispute of the crown prince, and he was afraid that this matter would violate the emperor's taboo. Pete's words, although they seem to be a kind reminder from him, can be carefully thought about...... It may not be the emperor's own intention.
Chen Daolin's heart sank, and he smiled: "I have written down all the points of the adult." Today I feel full of hospitality, and I will be in the imperial capital from now on. I hope you will mention it more. ”
As he spoke, Chen Dao got into the carriage and left after saluting.
Pete stood on the side of the road, watching Chen Daolin's carriage go away, and then the smile on his face gradually faded. He said softly to himself: "This young man is very mediocre when he does things, and I really don't understand what His Majesty likes about him." ”
In Pete's heart, there are dragons and crouching tigers in places like the imperial capital. Even if His Majesty likes young and handsome people, there are many leaders of the younger generation in the empire, and over the years, there have been many young genius martial artists or genius magicians in the imperial capital, but no one has ever been so valued by the emperor.
It's just that this Chen Daolin, speaking and doing things, in the eyes of Pete, an old oilman, really doesn't have much to praise. I really don't understand what His Majesty is so close to this guy, what is it for?
Since I can't figure it out. Pete didn't want to. The mind of the emperor has always been. It is also the most difficult to guess, the emperor values this person, and naturally there is a reason for the emperor. You don't need to know the reason, you just need to be sure that the emperor really values this person. It's enough to deal with him yourself.
With this thought, Pete returned to the palace under the escort of his entourage - there are still some things to do about the assassination, he is actually very busy, and it is extremely rare to be able to deliberately spare half a day to socialize with Chen Daolin today.
......
Chen Daolin sat in the carriage, listening to the rolling wheels, his heart gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but pull the window and blow the cool evening breeze.
He drank some wine tonight, and dealt with it with Pete, in fact, he was full of energy, but he was really tired at the moment, and he was blown by the wind this night, and the strength of the wine was faintly upsurged, so he couldn't help but open his clothes, lean on his seat, and let out a long sigh.
Tonight he deliberately made a resigned and honest and ignorant appearance - in front of the Minister of Internal Affairs, he was full of sharpness, and he would never dare to have half a point.
In fact, Chen Daolin really had a headache.
The most unbridled time before me was when I was in the frozen forest, and Du Weiwei was open to talking and arguing, and all the knowledge of the real world, astronomy, geography, politics and philosophy, all of which he had learned......
At that time, it was cool, and it also made the first nobleman of the empire eat it and take him as a confidant.
But now, Chen Daolin has suffered!
Knowing that there would be such a result, Chen Daolin would definitely pretend to be a grandson all the way to the end of the cape in the face of that duchess!
It's good now, the duchess and the emperor both regard themselves as personal figures, the duchess is just interested in soliciting, and the emperor directly regards himself as the key person to correct Du Weiwei's sexual orientation!
This kind of thing made Chen Daolin really cry and laugh.
This is the end of liking to show off and being in the limelight!
Although Chen Daolin has never been involved in officialdom, at least he has read a lot of stories and novels about various officialdoms, and he is now a person with no foundation, who has run to the imperial capital to mix, if he dares to show off casually, if it is too high-profile, it is really the way to seek death!
Low-key pretending to be forced is the king!
He believed that he and that Master Pete would have dinner and drink and chat tonight, and that the Chief Steward of Pete would definitely report this to the Emperor afterwards!
He has already been appreciated by the emperor, if this Pete also praises himself like a flower, then wouldn't the emperor eat himself? This kind of hot potato, this kind of impossible task, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible!
The best time is that when Pete goes back to sue the emperor, he says that he is mediocre, and the lower the evaluation, the better, so as to dispel the emperor's expectations of himself.
I didn't want to go to the sky in one step, I honestly made some benefits in a low-key manner, which is the right way.
With these thoughts in mind, the carriage headed all the way to the Liszt family's mansion.
Along the way, I walked through the streets of the imperial capital, and encountered three checkpoints and multiple patrols along the way. Thinking that the assassination of the emperor on the street has not passed, the guards and security offices in the imperial capital are still conducting a strict search.
However, Chen Daolin rode in the carriage in the palace, and when he encountered interrogation along the way, he didn't dare to stop his carriage and horses, just looking at those soldiers with strict expressions, Chen Daolin couldn't help but think of the assassination he encountered in the palace during the day today.
In just three days, he made two assassinations, and after the first assassination failed, a second wave came immediately on the cusp...... This is simply a posture of madness and jade!
But after Chen Dao thought about it, according to what he knew, the current political situation in the Roland Empire. I can't seem to think of any organization that would have such a reason to do such a thing.
At present, in the near future, the biggest core should be the question of the emperor's majesty to establish the prince - this issue, it seems that the Liszt family is deeply involved, and the opposite is also faintly the Liszt family and the tulip family faintly antagonistic.
But. If you want to fight for the position of the crown prince, what is the purpose of assassinating the current emperor?
But if it weren't for the matter of the crown prince, then ...... Assassinating the Emperor?
The current Roland Empire. It seems that there is no such conflict that would point the contradiction directly at the emperor.
Chen Daolin instinctively felt a hint of jealousy-this kind of thing, the farther away he had best, the better.
Brother is just a little magician, he doesn't have great ability, and he doesn't want to wade into this kind of troubled water. I just want to do what I want to do in a low-key manner in the imperial capital, and just make some benefits in a low-key way.
No matter what kind of emperor and crown prince you are, the wealthy and powerful, my Darling brother must not be interested.
With these thoughts in mind, the carriage sent Chen Daolin to the front of the Liszt family's house.
The old butler Frey had already led people to wait at the door, watching the carriage in the palace arrive. Frey seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief.
The old butler himself walked over. Wait until the carriage is stable. Pulled the car door to help Chen Daolin get out of the car, and then lowered his voice and said, "Master Darling came back so late, we have been waiting for a day." Luckily, Master Pete Statham sent someone to inform us. He said he invited you to dinner. ”
Chen Daolin smiled and didn't say anything.
Frey then glanced at the man behind him. The steward of the Liszt family walked up and gave some gift money to the court attendants and guards who drove and followed him.
Chen Daolin followed Frey into the mansion, and Frey saw that there was no one behind him, and then whispered to Chen Daolin: "Master is in the palace today, a qiē can be smooth?"
Chen Daolin's heart moved, and his heart immediately woke up, I am afraid that the time of assassination in the garden cannot be mentioned! Although the emperor and Pete did not warn themselves to seal their mouths, but if this kind of thing is rashly talked about, it will really be brainless!
He shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has given me the titles of court mage and knight. ”
Frey immediately bowed: "Congratulations, master." ”
"Two court titles. Chen Daolin waved his hand: "It's not a big deal." ”
Frey smiled and said, "The lord is young, he won the palace title at the age of twenty, and he is already extremely prominent in the imperial capital. Even if it's a young talent from another family, such as the most recent general, General Panin, when he won the title of court warrior, he was a little older than you are now. ”
Chen Daolin smiled, glanced at Frey meaningfully, and suddenly said, "The matter of entering the palace to meet His Majesty has delayed me for two days. I haven't done anything about the Magic Guild yet. It's not good to delay this matter any longer, tomorrow morning, you arrange to get off the carriage, and I will go to the Magic Guild. ”
Frey responded and sent Chen Daolin all the way back to the courtyard where he lived.
When Chen Daolin walked into the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and glanced at Frey, his face was a little strange, looking at Frey's eyes, he asked coldly:
"When will the patriarch come back?"
Frey was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The patriarch acts, where do we dare to ask." If the patriarch comes back, he will always send someone to inform him in advance, but as for the specific day, it is impossible to say. Allow three or five days, maybe three or five months"
Chen Daolin listened and laughed: "Since this is the case, I won't stay and wait to say goodbye to his old man, I will move out with someone tomorrow." ”
Frey was stunned, frowned, looked at Chen Daolin, and said in a deep voice, "Master...... Haven't you and I already discussed this question? If you are determined to do this, you will embarrass me, and I am afraid that if I can't say it, I will do something that will annoy my master. ”
"Hahaha! I know that your Liszt family is rich and rich. Chen Daolin smiled and said, "Wherever I move in, you will buy the house, and then send a bunch of people to 'serve' me by my side." However, I encountered an incident today that helped me solve this problem. In this imperial capital, there is always a place that your Liszt family can't buy or enter. ”
"That's nature. Frey smiled: "Sir, if you can live in the palace, or move into the barracks, or enter the Temple of Light, the villain will be beyond the reach of the whip." ”
"You don't have to go to these places. Chen Daolin smiled lightly: "I have another place to go now." ”
"Where?" said Frey, still smiling confidently.
"Academy of Magic. Chen Daolin smiled and said the answer: "No matter how rich the Liszt family is, it is impossible to buy this magic academy." ”
"......" Frey was really stunned, but then frowned and said: "Don't forget, master, you just went with Young Master Lucius to audit, and the apprentice who audited was not qualified to live in the academy." ”
"Auditing apprentices is naturally not qualified. Chen Daolin smiled: "Fortunately, I asked at dinner just today, if you become a registered magician in the Academy of Magic, you can live in the academy." ”
As he spoke, Chen Daolin spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, the title of a court magician is still quite useful, isn't it?"
With that, he smiled softly, turned around and strode into the courtyard.
