Chapter 308: Conditions

As everyone knows, the higher the ranks, the slower the rate of promotion.

For example, if the normal speed is three or five years, then it will take about ten to twenty years for good luck to go from the fourth grade to the third grade, and if you are unlucky, you will not be able to cross this hurdle for a lifetime.

And that Chen Nianzhi, from entering Beijing to becoming a three-grade waiter of the Ministry of Works, it only took a mere seventeen months to complete the calculation.

Things have developed to this point, and Princess Zhenbei has already begun to regret it.

She regretted that she didn't fulfill her son's wish earlier, so that now everyone in the capital who has a little face has jumped out to grab this powerful woman with a bright future at a glance.

Chen Nianzhi is not yet twenty years old, and it is impossible for Yu Zizhen to hand over the entire Ministry of Industry to her, and with the speed of her "invention and creation", it is impossible for Yu Zizhen, who has clear rewards and punishments, to let her contribute to the country.

So when her official rank can no longer be promoted rapidly, how will Yu Zizhen reward her?

Knighthood, that's pretty much the only answer one can think of.

That's a knighthood, who wouldn't want one more of them? Isn't what they want is the continuity of the family and the protection of their descendants? But how many people in this world can really make immortal feats and let the emperor bestow the title?

And now, they don't need to put in the efforts of several generations, and they don't need to produce a child or grandson who is amazing and talented and highly valued by the emperor, they just need to ignore Chen Nianzhi's small shortcomings, and then try to get her to their own home.

There are too many people with this kind of thought, and Yu Zizhen has added a huge group of guards to Chen Nianzhi, so the main job content is no longer to ensure that Chen Nianzhi is not assassinated, but to ensure that Chen Nianzhi is not calculated by some ill-intentioned guys.

For this reason, they also specially applied for an old woman with rich experience in palace fighting with Yu Zizhen, and asked her to help Chen Nianzhi identify those cold guns and hidden arrows wrapped in sugar.

Yu Zicheng didn't expect Chen Nianzhi to be so sought-after, mainly because although he admired Chen Nianzhi's uniqueness, he didn't know that Chen Nianzhi didn't have enough backers before, so he had always restrained his impulse to "invent and create", and he didn't really show all his skills.

When she was entrusted with the important task by Yu Zizhen, she was relieved and boldly began to stand on the shoulders of the giant to carry it.

What she didn't tell Yu Zicheng was that Yu Zizhen actually planned to pay her dividends directly at the beginning, but she herself resolutely rejected Yu Zizhen's proposal.

The little girl knows very well that just her ability and status are dangerous enough, and if she holds a large amount of money in her hands, then the swords and arrows and various calculations she will face will definitely be several times or even more than ten times that of now.

She didn't want to live like that, so she preferred to give up the big dividends that might come her hand.

It is also because of this that Yu Zizhen moved step by step, and slowly gave her a hereditary idea of replacing the title - since her treasury swallowed the part of the silver that people should get, then she should naturally return a long-term job to her family and her descendants.

It's just that her good brother is afraid that it will be more difficult to hold the beauty because of this. After all, a woman who has the title, power, and money is all there, so why should she grieve herself to serve the mother-in-law who is not easy to get along with Princess Zhenbei?

Yu Zizhen didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement.

The development of the situation quickly proved Yu Zizhen's correctness, when the princess of Zhenbei finally couldn't hold it anymore, and she hurriedly invited the official media to propose to Chen Nianzhi, Chen Nianzhi announced her son-in-law selection conditions to all the official media present.

She had three requests.

First, her future husband, whether now or in the future, must not have a room, a concubine, an outer room, etc., let alone a concubine or even an outer room child.

Chen Nianzhi also deliberately emphasized that even if she can't have children, her future husband must not use this as an excuse to break his promise.

Second, after marriage, she will continue to be an official and will not return to the inner house, so her future husband's family cannot restrain her with the rules that bind ordinary inner house women.

Third, after marriage, she wants to continue to live in her own chamberlain's mansion, the reason is also very simple, the subordinates and guards in her mansion are basically given by the emperor, and the security measures are definitely the first outside the palace.

Chen Nianzhi said that although she was a little embarrassed to say this, her life was indeed "quite valuable" that was personally stamped and certified by their beloved Emperor Majesty.

Chen Nianzhi clearly told those official media that she could not leave the heavily guarded Shilang Mansion just because she got married and live in a strange place with complex personnel, and she could not do such irresponsible things to herself and the court.

The official media looked at each other, and privately felt that this girl's request was no less outrageous than "the one who founded and ruled our country was actually an empress".

Of course, they would never dare to declare such a rebellious idea, and they had no way to refute Chen Nianzhi's so-called that she asked to continue to live in the Shilang Mansion not only for herself, but also for the imperial court.

It's not that the girl is without self-knowledge, and she just said a big truth that everyone knows.

But her three deviant requests, which she carefully selected and put in, the reliable official media did not dare to agree to it without authorization, so everyone got up politely and politely after quickly giving each other a look.

They were ready to wait for this door, so they immediately informed the people who invited them to come to the matchmaker of Chen Nianzhi's outrageous request, and let them decide for themselves whether to marry a deviant daughter-in-law like Chen Nianzhi and enter the door.

Sure enough, those who were keen on the huge interests represented by Chen Nianzhi were very dissatisfied with Chen Nianzhi's three demands, which seemed to them to be quite outrageous.

They subconsciously wanted to use the code of ethics since ancient times to suppress Chen Nianzhi, but when they heard the sentence "How is Your Majesty" relayed by the official media, they were all dumbfounded.

No one dares to talk about secular rules anymore, after all, the most unruly person in the world is their majesty.

Compared with her, Chen Nianzhi's degree of out-of-character is not worth mentioning at all, okay?

No one dared to talk nonsense in front of the official media, and the official media were also interested, and after fully conveying the content of their conversation with Chen Nianzhi, the official media all said goodbye and left.

As for whether or not to compromise Chen Nianzhi for the sake of the huge interests of Chen Nianzhi's representatives, that is something that each family should worry about and consider, and the official media will not blindly mix it up.
