Just in the evening of that day, the central cabinet issued the edict that Zhao Dongting had put the jade seal on the seal arrived at Li Goudan's home.

Because Li Goudan had only built a small yellow gate in the imperial study room before and had a very low grade, it was impossible for the Li family to be conferred the house on Qian Street.

Over the years, Li Goudan's parents have been restricted by themselves and have not been able to make a fortune.

Therefore, they still rely on the help of Chen Wenlong's home.

When the eunuch who was delivering the order arrived at the Chen family's residence, Chen Wenlong had just returned home from get off work.

Before he could sit down, he saw a servant running in outside and shouted hurriedly: "Master, the imperial decree from the palace has arrived."

This made Chen Wenlong slightly stunned.

Because he himself is a member of the central cabinet, Zhao Dongting rarely passes imperial edicts to his home.

Even if it is sympathy for his family, it is mostly due to the orders of Queen Le Chan to reward him.

But at this time he didn't bother to think about it and said, "Go and invite your father-in-law in."

Not long after, the eunuchs who were delivering the orders were led into the door by their servants.

Their status is a bit special, but of course it is nothing in front of Chen Wenlong, the deputy state order.

When they saw Chen Wenlong, they all hurriedly saluted, "Deputy Order Chen..." Chen Wenlong was extremely familiar with the imperial edict of the court. When he saw that it was the style of the central cabinet, he was even more confused. "A few father-in-laws are..." The eunuch holding the imperial edict smiled and asked politely: "Director Chen, is Li Zhaoen in the mansion?

Our family came to pass the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor and the central cabinet. "

Chen Wenlong said in a daze: "Isn't Li Zhaoen in the library?"

The servant next to him said, "Master, Mr. Li Zhaoen has returned."

When Chen Wenlong heard this, he seemed to realize something, and showed joy on his face and said, "Go and let him come and receive the order."

When Zhao Dongting asked Li Goudan to study hard in the library, Chen Wenlong speculated that the emperor should reuse Li Goudan.

But I didn't expect that the surprise would come so quickly.

He really values ​​Li Goudan very much, and he treats it completely as his junior.

After the servants left, Chen Wenlong asked the eunuchs to go to the lobby and gave them tea. He couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what official position did the emperor and Lord Lu have granted Li Zhaoen?"

The imperial edict was delivered to home so quickly, and the eunuchs were full of congratulations, so Chen Wenlong could guess that it was a good thing.

If it were someone else, he might not be so concerned.

But it was Li Goudan, and he couldn't help it.

The eunuch passed the order smiled and said, "Our family must first congratulate you, Deputy Ling Chen.

Li Zhaoen's success this time... was awesome..." Chen Wenlong was even more happy when he heard this, "Don't be so angry that he should keep his official hiding."

The eunuch was sent to the decree and said in a low voice: "Previous Order Chen might as well guess first?"

Chen Wenlong thought for a while and said, "Li Zhaoen served in the imperial study for two years, and the emperor praised him endlessly.

I think I should be sent to a department of the State Council to be a doctor?"

The eunuch who sent the order shook his head gently, "No."

Chen Wenlong was a little surprised and then became more happy, "Isn't that the minister?"

The eunuch who was sent to the order still shook his head.

Even with Chen Wenlong's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this moment and said, "My father-in-law, please speak frankly!"

The eunuch passed the imperial eunuch laughed and said, "Li Zhaoen is only waiting for office, and he is only one step away from you."

Chen Wenlong was dumbfounded, "Does the emperor still plan to let him serve as the Minister of the Republic?"

With the current official system of the Song Dynasty, the State Council established one State Councilor under the Ministry of State, two Deputy State Councilors, and below were the Ministers of the Ministry of State Councilors.

The eunuch said that he was only one step away from him, and Chen Wenlong could only think of the official position of Shangshu.

After saying that, he shook his head, "Impossible, Impossible."

Although Zhaoen is knowledgeable, he is still fifteen years old and cannot take on this important task.”

The eunuch passed the imperial eunuch said leisurely: "But Deputy Chen, don't forget that when the emperor was in charge of the government and saved our Song Dynasty from danger, he was still a few years younger than Li Zhaoen..." His words were equivalent to admitting that Li Zhaoen's official position was indeed the Minister of State.

Chen Wenlong came to his senses, his face full of surprise, and frowned slightly: "There are no vacancies with the current ministers..."                                                                                                             

His parents followed him.

It was probably because Li Goudan had just returned, and the two people who felt so distressed about their son, were really reluctant to leave Li Goudan at this moment.

When he entered the house, Li Goudan fell to his knees.

His parents also quickly fell to their knees.

The eunuch who sent the order stood up and changed into a serious look, saying, "A Jinshi in the 11th year of Xiangxing, Li Zhaoen, the minister of the Ministry of Eunuch, received the order."

Then he opened the imperial edict and recited: "Substantially inherit the fortune... Li Zhaoen, a small yellow sect in the inner eunuch, was of extraordinary talent. Although he was young, he was a scholar and should be a model for scholars in the world... I specially set up a Ministry of Science and Technology and appointed Li Zhaoen as the Minister of Science and Technology.

The second rank of officialdom was awarded a set of official residences in Qiandao Street.

His mother was good at educating her children and was awarded the title of the fourth-ranked lady of the imperial edict..." After reading, she saw Li Goudan's family kneeling on the ground in a daze, and the eunuch who passed the imperial edict smiled and said, "Li Zhaoen, why don't you accept the imperial edict?"

Li Goudan came to his senses, quickly took the imperial edict with both hands, kowtowed and said, "My dear Li Zhaoen, thank the emperor, long live my emperor!"

The eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch also changed his name at this moment and said, "Shangshu Li, you will be the Minister of Science and Technology in the future. Don't let the emperor down."

After all, he was also a high eunuch who entered the Ministry of Eunuchs and was much older, so it would not be an exaggeration to say such things.

Li Goudan nodded vigorously.

The eunuch looked back at Chen Wenlong and bowed, "Deputy Order Chen, our family is rushing back to the palace to report their duties, so we won't bother you."

Chen Wenlong didn't respond.

The eunuch also knew that he was shocked and did not take it to his heart. He smiled and took the people out of the house.

Li Goudan stood up from the ground and knelt down for Chen Wenlong again: "Grandpa Chen."

In the years since he arrived in Changsha, he had been caring for Chen Wenlong, and he remembered all these kindnesses in his heart.

Chen Wenlong came to his senses and helped Li Zhaoen up and said, "What are you doing with me like this?"

Then he looked a little complicated and said, "You are the Minister of the House now."

Li Goudan said: "Although Zhaoen is the Minister of State, Grandpa Chen, you are still Zhaoen's grandfather!"

When Chen Wenlong heard this, his face was filled with relief.

Li Goudan's parents finally came to their senses and stood up from the ground in a daze.

His father asked Li Goudan: "Goudan, what is the Minister of Science and Technology?

But is it as big as the Minister of Personnel?”

His understanding of the imperial system was afraid that he still stayed in the past era, and he only knew six departments: craftsmanship, officials, rituals, households, soldiers, and punishments.

Before Li Goudan could speak, Chen Wenlong was already laughing and crying next to him, saying, "Mr. Li, don't call Zhaoen's nickname in front of outsiders anymore. He is now the Minister of the court. If you call him like this in front of outsiders, you will be laughed at."

He then explained: "The Minister of Science and Technology is the same size as the Minister of Personnel."

Li Goudan's father's eyes were wide open and he was confused again, "My Goudan... is the Shangshu?"

He probably never had such a dream in his life. Li Goudan's success in the Jinshi was enough to make this simple man who was facing the loess and facing the sky overjoyed.

Perhaps if you can see Li Goudan as a county magistrate in this life, he can feel that it is the smoke coming from the ancestral tomb.

How much rank is the Shangshu greater than the county magistrate?

He doesn't know.

He only knows that it's a lot bigger anyway.

In the past, he thought that the county magistrate was Master Tian, ​​but now, his son is Master Tian who is much taller than Master Tian.

In fact, not to mention him, Li Goudan was named Shangshu at the age of fifteen. Just when this matter spreads, the entire Song Dynasty would be shocked.

Li Goudan's mother also looked in disbelief, and then she burst into tears.

Li Goudan wiped his mother's tears and said, "Mom, Goudan is now an official, why are you still crying?

You are also the emperor’s wife’s decree!”

His mother just hugged him and murmured: "My son is promising, my son is promising..." She is illiterate and has never taught Li Goudan knowledge. She only taught Li Goudan to be a person in full swing.

I never thought that Li Goudan would have such a great future.

As for the fact that she was named the Lady of the Imperial Palace, she did not feel at all before the news that Li Goudan was named the Minister of Shang.

Even more likely, she may not even understand what the decree wife is.

Chen Wenlong was watching this scene, just smiling.

I also felt a little envious.

Not to mention Li Goudan's knowledge, in fact, this pure conscience is the most rare.

For example, the younger generations of the Chen family can even ask famous teachers to teach their knowledge, but they have to face far more temptations than Li Goudan when dealing with people.
