Chapter 195 [Benefits](1/2)
(Two in One)
Chen Daolin and Pitt had dinner together.
In terms of official positions, the Minister of Internal Affairs is not a true core boss. Although such official positions are also called "Secretary", in fact, to put it bluntly, they are a steward who is specifically responsible for internal affairs of the palace.
But they are both housekeepers, ordinary noble housekeepers and emperor housekeepers, although they are both called housekeepers, are naturally very different in meaning.
Pete is naturally trusted by His Majesty the Emperor to be trusted by the emperor and entrust all matters in the palace. In his capacity, in the imperial capital, no matter how big bosses are, they must have good relations with him. Even when facing the prime minister of the empire, the minister of military affairs, the minister of finance, etc., these first-class bosses will be polite to him to show respect.
So there is no need for Peter to come and pat on the flattery of a little magician like Chen Daolin, even if he is appreciated by the emperor. After all, there are many people who the emperor appreciates. Before he really reaches a high position, he really cannot be treated as a dish in front of the palace butler.
But Pitt was extremely cautious and careful. He could see that the emperor's attitude towards the young magician had a distinctive special feature and uniqueness. This attitude did not seem to be simply "appreciation" in the ordinary sense, nor was it just a simple sense of gratitude to Chen Daolin's contribution to the assassination incident.
This attitude, in more sense, seems to be a kind of...closeness!
Yes, it's just closeness!
Whether it is the Roland world or the real world where Chen Daolin survives, most emperors have always been lonely. The so-called lonely people have always been like this from ancient times to the present.
As an empire, you may appreciate many people in your life, talented, handsome, capable, etc. In fact, these are not too rare.
But if you are an emperor, you show a clear sense of intimacy to a person.
Then, it would be difficult for such a person to be underdeveloped!
Pitt was very sensitive to the fact that he had been hiding in the palace for a lifetime. Pitt had already had a very accurate grasp of the emperor's personality and emotions. He saw the emperor's special attitude towards this young magician.
Since he has clearly captured this point, he will naturally make a move to make a fuss.
This is called investment!
Peter thought clearly: Since this young magician has received such a different look from the emperor, he has a great chance of becoming a success in the future. Since that's the case, if he wants to invest in his relationship, he must be as early as possible! Before the other party can really make a fortune, he will make friends with him.
If you want to burn, you have to burn the cold stove!
Otherwise, if you add icing on the cake, how can you help me in time be more precious?
The two had dinner together, and Peter sincerely introduced many rules and various matters to Chen Daolin.
For example, the court titles, court magicians and court titles that Chen Daolin doesn't care much about.
Peter told Chen Daolin not to underestimate these two titles that are worthless. Such titles are of considerable value even in the core circle of the empire.
With a court title, the first benefit is that you can ask for a meeting with His Majesty the Emperor and the audience at any time!
This is an extremely important privilege!
If you are an ordinary person, you don’t have this title, even if you are a wealthy businessman, you will be a fool to see the emperor of the Empire. If you run to the palace to ask for a meeting, your only fate will be to be beaten out by the Imperial Guard.
And with the title of court, the royal family regarded it as their distinguished guest. You can go to the palace to ask for your Majesty anytime and anywhere.
Of course... If Your Majesty doesn't see you, it depends on Your Majesty's mood or how important you are in Your Majesty's heart.
But no matter what, after all, a door has been opened in front of you, a door that can reach the sky!
When a person has the opportunity to see the emperor from time to time, then the person's identity will naturally become more valuable.
The second benefit is that if you have a palace title, you will be included in the guests' list during the New Year, festival, or various major celebrations. You will be included in the highest-standard feasts held by the royal family and become the guest in the highest-standard circle of this empire!
You can gather with various imperial powers, military bosses, dukes, marquises, Counts, etc. You can have the opportunity to contact these people, and whether you can really get involved in the upper class can be a member of the upper class, not to mention, at least you have such the fastest opportunity in front of you!
Therefore, court titles and court titles have always been considered a very noble status.
With such a title, even in the imperial capital where wealthy families and powerful people gather in the empire, others will look up to you. 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 just a rank of the court jazz. What surprised Peter the most was that the emperor actually granted him the title of a court magician.
Although the title of court magician itself is not a formal level of magician, the title of court magician has always been awarded to some people with high magical strength.
Chen Daolin's strength... a low-level magician can actually be named a palace mage. This can no longer be simply described as "unspecified", it is simply a bit subversive!
"That jazz title is fine." After three rounds of wine, the old fox Pete said a little heartfelt words and reminded Chen Daolin: "This title of court wizard is a bit eye-catching. I am afraid that if it is passed on, others may not be convinced. You must know that the imperial capital hides dragons and lies in the tigers, and try to flatter the royal family every year, and there are many magicians who try to get the royal family, but Master Daling, you have won the title of royal family. Although such a reward is a gift from His Majesty, it will inevitably be envied by people..."
Chen Daolin immediately understood what the other party meant and smiled and said, "I have never been to the Magical Union for the level of my mage. I have an important thing when I come to the imperial capital this time, which is to go to the Magical Union."
After a pause, he continued: "In addition to evaluating the level of the magician, I will also go to the Magic Academy to listen to it in a few days..."
Hearing this, Peter smiled. He looked at Chen Daolin with a hint of strangeness in his eyes: "Attendance... Master Daling, I'm afraid this matter is a bit embarrassing."
"What?" Chen Daolin was puzzled: "Governor Fritz has arranged this matter of listening. Master Lucius and I will enter the Magic Academy together..."
Peter waved his hand, interrupted Chen Daolin's words, and said seriously: "That Master Lucius, it is natural to go to the Magic Academy to listen. But Master Daling, now that you have obtained the title of a palace mage, it is a bit inappropriate to listen to the Magic Academy."
Chen Daolin's heart moved and he faintly understood the other party's meaning.
Peter continued: "Although the title of court mage is not a formal level of magician, it at least represents the royal recognition of your magical strength. Just imagine, a magician who even the royal family admires has the title of court mage. If you go to the Magic Academy to be an apprentice to listen to this matter, it is probably inappropriate to spread it. It will be a shame to lose the royal face. So... Please consider this matter again."
When Chen Daolin heard this, he saluted Pitt solemnly and said slowly: "I remember this point by sir. Thank you for telling me directly. Otherwise, I, a young man, would be confused and unintentionally, and I didn't know that I had made a taboo."
He sincerely asked for advice: "So... will I turn it off about this Magic Academy?"
"It seems a pity to turn it off... it seems like a pity." Pete frowned and thought for a while, then smiled: "Master Darling has just come to the imperial capital. If you want to show your strengths, you must always show your connections. Since you are a mage, it is beneficial to go to the Magic Academy and make more friends. It is naturally a loss of identity when you listen to the apprentice. But, I think... As a palace magician, it should be enough to be a guest magic consultant teacher at the Magic Academy."
Old, teacher?
Teachers of the Magic Academy?!
Chen Daolin widened his eyes and couldn't help but open his mouth.
This... seems to be a bit too big, right?
As a rookie who has only been learning magic for a few months, he only had the strength of a low-level magician. He ran into the world's highest magic institution and the Imperial Magic Academy to be a magic teacher?
To teach those magicians who have been immersed in magic for many years?
"Of course it's not that you really want to be a teacher to preach to others." Pete knew his concerns when he saw Chen Daolin's face. He smiled and said, "A magic scholar must always have the identity of a research scholar in the magic academy. It is natural that you don't need to practice in the magic academy. It's not necessary to preach and give lectures. It's just a name. There are many rare ancient books in the magic academy, which is also convenient for you to read."
Since Peter was interested in making friends with Chen Daolin today, he might as well give him a favor at this moment, and said with a smile: "As the chief of the palace, I have some personal relationships with several palace magicians. There are also some old friends in the Imperial Magic Academy. Since you are also a part of the palace magician, I will ask someone to arrange this scholar in this magician tomorrow."
Chen Daolin stood up again and said sincerely: "Thank you for this!"
After dinner, Pete and Chen Daolin left together.
When he was about to send Chen Dao onto the carriage, Pete suddenly asked meaningfully: "Master Daling, do you still live in Liszt's house in the imperial capital?"
Chen Daolin nodded.
Peter looked at Chen Daolin and smiled and said, "You are now a court wizard and have the title of court jazz... Although you have a certain relationship with the Liszt family, you will always ask people to talk about it when you continue to live in other people's houses. Liszt family is rich and powerful, and your young man is very heroic. When others talk about it, I am afraid that it will not sound very nice, which will hurt your reputation."
Chen Daolin's heart moved. This was the Minister of the Interior's General Administration reminding himself not to get too close to the Liszt family!
He immediately remembered that the Liszt family seemed to have been deeply involved in the argument of the crown prince. I am afraid that this matter would violate the emperor's taboo. Although Pitt's words seemed to be a kind reminder, if he thought about it carefully... it may not be the emperor's own intention.
Chen Daolin felt a stern heart and smiled and said, "I have recorded all the suggestions from sir. Today I am very happy. I am in the imperial capital in the future. I hope sir can give more suggestions."
As he said that, Chen Dao got on the carriage and left.
Peter stood by the roadside, watching Chen Daolin's carriage go away, and then the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said softly: "This young man is very mediocre in doing things. He really doesn't understand what his Majesty really likes him."
In Pete's mind, even if His Majesty likes young heroes, there are many outstanding people in the younger generation of the empire. Over the years, there have been many young genius warriors or genius magicians in the imperial capital, but none of them have ever received such attention from the emperor.
But in the eyes of Peter, this Chen Daolin, speaking and doing things, does not have many praises. I really don’t understand what His Majesty is so close to this guy?
Since he couldn't figure it out, Pete stopped thinking about it. The emperor's thoughts have always been the most difficult to guess. The emperor values this person, so he naturally has reasons for the emperor. He doesn't need to know the reason, he just needs to make sure that the emperor does value this person. It's enough to deal with him well.
With this idea, Peter returned to the palace under the escort of his attendant, and there was still some things to do about assassination. He was actually very busy. It was extremely rare to be able to make half a day to socialize with Chen Daolin today.
...
Chen Daolin sat in the carriage, listening to the wheels rolling, his heart gradually relaxed. He couldn't help but open the window and blew the cool evening breeze.
He drank some wine tonight and dealt with Pitt. In fact, he was full of energy. He was really tired at this moment. When the night breeze blew, the alcohol was slightly rising. He couldn't help but open his clothes, lean on his seat, and sighed a long time.
Tonight, he deliberately made a timid and honest look in front of the Minister of the Interior, and he would never show any sign of his strength.
In fact, Chen Daolin really had a headache.
When I was the most arbitrary time before, I was traveling in the frozen forest, and I opened up to discuss and argue with Du Weiwei, showing off all the real world knowledge I learned and knew, astronomical, geography, and political philosophy...
What I said at that time was so good that the most nobleman in the empire had already gained a lot and became a confidant.
But now, Chen Daolin has suffered!
If I had known that such a result would have been, Chen Daolin would have pretended to be a grandson and the end of the world with the face of the duchess! He would never dare to show off his face!
Now, the duchess and the emperor both regarded themselves as personal figures. The duchess was just interested in recruiting them, and the emperor directly regarded himself as a key figure in correcting Du Weiwei's sexual orientation!
Such a thing made Chen Daolin laugh and cry.
This is the end of like showing off and showing off!
Although Chen Daolin has never been in the officialdom, at least he has read a lot of stories and novels about the officialdom. Now he has no foundation and has gone to the imperial capital to hang out. If he dares to show off his own thing and is too high-profile, it is really a way to seek death!
Low-key and show off is the king!
He believed that he would have had a meal, drink and chat with that Lord Pit tonight, and that this manager Pitt would definitely report these to the emperor in the future!
He has been admired by the emperor. If this Pete praised himself like a flower, wouldn’t the emperor be sure to eat himself? This kind of hot potato and such an impossible task, it’s better to get rid of it as soon as possible!
It would be best if Peter went back to tell the emperor that he was mediocre and that the lower the evaluation, the better, and it would also be easier to dispel the emperor's expectations of him.
When you come to the imperial capital by yourself, you don’t want to reach the top in one step. Just keep a low profile and get some benefits. This is the right way.
