Zhao Yanping was promoted to the fifth rank of official and was qualified to attend the three-day court meeting.

Many officials may only meet the emperor when they were admitted to the Jinshi in their lifetime, and they never had a chance again. Although Zhao Yanping also followed Lu Taigong to meet the saint once, he was just a ninth-rank official who had just arrived in the capital. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground to listen to the question, without even looking at the sky. This court meeting was his true saint.

The dynasty meeting handles political affairs in the past three days, and each official office has a memorandum to report, and time is tight, so the dynasty meeting will begin before dawn.

Cai Qi mentioned Zhao Yanping to avoid making any jokes when he attended the court meeting for the first time. For example, he should avoid drinking water in the morning. If he drinks too much, officials will not be allowed to leave midway to solve personal problems. For example, he should not eat food that tastes too strong for breakfast, because after the court meeting, the emperor may ask officials to go to the imperial study room to ask questions. If the emperor is so angry, then he will not think about meeting the saint again in this life.

Cai Qi did not take special care of Zhao Yanping, but everyone was an official in Dali Temple. If Zhao Yanping made a fool of himself, it means that he, the Dali Temple, did not discipline the officials below, and he was also embarrassed.

Zhao Yanping wrote down one by one.

A Jiao also remembers that he would attend the court meeting tomorrow morning. In the evening, he specifically told Cui Niang to prepare pancakes in advance tonight and fry them. No need to put any onions and garlic. If you heat them tomorrow morning, you will ensure that you will not leave any smell. If you eat too much pancake, you will easily feel thirsty, so A Jiao is planning to ask Zhao Yanping to eat a piece at home to cushion your stomach. After the meeting, the party goes out and go directly to the canteen of the official office for lunch.

The government stretched it from head to toe and hung it on the clothes hanger. Everything was ready before Jiao and Zhao Yan lay down flat.

"I don't know what the emperor looks like." leaning against Zhao Yanping's arms, Gillian imagined.

Zhao Yanping had never seen him, but when Xiangyun's identity was exposed, he had seen King Xuan. King Xuan was a few years older than him, with a handsome phoenix-eyed and naturally noble temperament. Emperor Chunqing must have a good appearance if he gave birth to such a son. However, he was nearly 60 years old, and most of his hair was gray and old.

"I'll see you tomorrow, I'll tell you when I'm back." Zhao Yanping patted Gillian's shoulder, and she was about to go to bed.

Gillian breathed a sigh of relief. Since Zhao Yanping came back from Jingzhou, she asked for it almost every night, and she was worried that he would have to make trouble tonight.

I had a good sleep all night, and Zhao Yanping woke up the next day in the Yin Dynasty.

Gillian followed him and waited for Zhao Yanping to finish a pancake. Gillian asked him to open his mouth and help him keep his teeth clean.

Cui Niang smiled while watching.

Zhao Yanping put water at home in advance and then set off.

Gillian and Cui Niang whispered to the opportunity at home and went back to their rooms to take a break.

Because it was midsummer, it was already dawn.

Zhao Yanping walked with great strides. After entering the imperial city, he went directly to the Taihe Hall to wait. When he walked in, there were officials who attended the court meeting in front and behind. Ministers from first to fourth ranks were all wearing red official robes, while officials in the fifth rank in green robes became the last ones at the court meeting. When they saw the red robes, they would bow their heads and salute.

Zhao Yanping came early, but it was not the highest. Some officials were already arranged by civil and military officials under the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhao Yanping saw his colleague Zheng Xihe, the head of the Right Temple of Dali Temple, and walked over and stood on the left side of Zheng Xihe.

Zheng Xihe was in his early forties and was a serious Jinshi and reached the fifth rank step by step. This time, Lu Taigong resigned, and all three officials above him were promoted. If Zhao Yanping had not been able to recognize Zuosi Temple Zheng, he would have been recognised as the master of Zuosi Temple, but he was crossed by Zhao Yanping, the relative of King Xuan who had become his disciple.

Zhao Yanping is still teenager younger than him!

Zheng Xihe really couldn't intersect Zhao Yanping calmly. When he saw him, he nodded and looked ahead, closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Zhao Yanping stood up straight and looked ahead.

"Hey, isn't this my good niece?"

A loud voice suddenly came from behind him. Zhao Yanping's earlobe moved slightly, turned around, and indeed saw Xue Ao wearing the official uniform of a fourth-grade embroidered tiger and leopard, menstruating the son.

"My son-in-law has met his uncle." Zhao Yanping bowed to Xue Ao.

The morning light shone from the sky, making Zhao Yan look white like jade, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes are so charming. Xue Ao hummed and reminded him: "I won't invite me to drink after being promoted. Is there anyone who is like you as a niece? Or are you now promising and look down on me, a uncle who is a bandit?"

Zhao Yanping lowered his eyes and said, "I dare not."

Xue Aoxiao didn't dare to do so, patted Zhao Yanping on the shoulder and said on his own initiative: "Then let's go tomorrow night, our family will go to your house for a meal."

Zhao Yanping said good.

Xue Ao then stood there with the general.

Not long after he left, the Marquis of Yongping also came, and also walked to Zhao Yanping's side, encouraging the younger generation to a few words.

Zhao Yanping naturally wanted to thank the Marquis Yongping for his recommendation.

When the Yongping Hou left, Zhao Yanping returned to his original position.

Zheng Xihe glanced at him and felt more and more that Zhao Yanping could be promoted so quickly was entirely due to various nepotism and career relationships.

Originally, other officials didn't care about Zhao Yanping's new face. After Xue Ao, Hou Yongping, and even Duke Lu's eldest disciple Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and Censor Qiao from the fourth disciple Censorate, all came to say hello to Zhao Yanping, the officials suddenly realized that Zhao Yanping's sentence was not simple!

After being shocked, the ministers couldn't help but discuss various deeds after Zhao Yanping entered the capital.

Not long after, King Xuan also came, but King Xuan went directly to the second prince, King Huai and the fourth prince, King Jian, and did not look at Zhao Yanping more.

From Zhao Yanping's position, you can see half of King Xuan's shoulder.

Zhao Yanping looked at the shoulder, thinking of his sister and two nephews he had never met before. Unfortunately, his sister was in the palace. Unless the prince and the princess invited him, the Zhao family was not qualified to visit him. King Xuan would definitely not summon him. Princess Xuan was said to have not even invited Mrs. Yongping to be a passerby, and would not give the Zhao family a favor.

I don't know when I will see my sister next time.

All the ministers arrived, Emperor Chunqing had also packed up, and Eunuch Gao stood on the steps and led all the ministers into the hall.

Zhao Yanping stood in the third to last row. After bowing, Zhao Yanping and other emperors Chunqing discussed matters with other ministers, he raised his eyes slightly and quickly peeked at Tianyan.

The fifty-seven-year-old Emperor Chunqing was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. His hair was indeed gray and his face was covered with wrinkles. Apart from his imperial majesty, he was no different from the old man in the wealthy family.

After seeing it, Zhao Yanping continued to lower his eyes and listened silently.

He had no political affairs to report. Today he came here just to be a listener. He just stood for two consecutive hours. Zhao Yanping realized that attending court meetings was also a strong job. He could not move or drink water. No wonder Mr. Lu dared not be a minister of Dali Temple again.

There were more than a hundred officials at the court meeting, standing behind the short stern, and I was afraid that they could not see the situation in front. However, Emperor Chunqing sat on the tall dragon throne, but he could see the expressions of the officials clearly. The rules of the court meeting were indeed strict, but he was really tired and sneaked. Touching and moving his feet was normal. As long as he didn't meet Emperor Chunqing, Emperor Chunqing would pretend that he hadn't seen it.

Zhao Yanping stood out and was a close disciple who was optimistic about by Lu Taigong. He had proved his ability through the Jingzhou case. Today is his first day to attend the court meeting, so Emperor Chunqing paid special attention. Zhao Yanping's appearance is naturally good. What surprised Emperor Chunqing was that this kid was really strong in his determination. He stood for so long but didn't move.

Is it because the young man is physically strong and doesn’t feel tired, or is it too nervous to move?

Emperor Chunqing glanced at Xue Ao.

When Xue Ao first attended the court meeting, he scratched his head, yawned, and turned his legs. Compared with Xue Ao, how could Zhao Yanping's performance not be appreciated?

Before the scattered dynasty, Emperor Chunqing waved to Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao bent over and walked over.

Emperor Chunqing whispered a few words.

Eunuch Gao then called several officials outside the imperial study room to wait for the emperor to summon him, and the last name he mentioned was Zhao Yanping.

Zhao Yanping raised his head unexpectedly.

Emperor Chunqing had already left the dragon throne and headed to the imperial study room.

After leaving the imperial study room, Zhao Yanping returned to Dali Temple. He was hungry and went to the canteen to have dinner first.

After all, he is a fifth-rank official, so the canteen clerk left a portion for him, otherwise he would not have any good food left after so late.

Zheng Xihe, the head of the Yousi Temple, deliberately ate slowly, just waiting for him. As soon as Zhao Yanping came in, Zheng Xihe waved to him.

Zhao Yanping came over to eat with him.

"What did the emperor say?" Zheng Xihe asked in vain.

Zhao Yanping said truthfully: "I asked about some details of the Jingzhou case."

Zheng Xihe raised his eyebrows: "There is nothing else?"

Zhao Yanping nodded and said something to Zheng Xihe, and he started to eat.

Zheng Xihe still felt that he had something to hide.

However, what Zhao Yanping said was the truth. He said this to him and mentioned this matter to Gillian in the evening. He also said so, just to be more detailed.

Gillian believed him very much and asked excitedly: "Did you see the emperor clearly this time?"

Zhao Yanping smiled and told his little wife everything he noticed from the jade dragon crown worn by Emperor Chunqing to the dragon boots worn by Emperor Chunqing.

Gillian was very satisfied, as if she had seen the Nine Five Lords.

The first meeting of the court ended smoothly, and the second time, the Zhao family was not so nervous.

On June 20th, Zhao Yanping rested. In the morning, he went to Duke Li's Mansion to visit Duke Lu, went home for lunch, and went to the study room in the afternoon, but didn't come out for a long time.

Gillian thought there was an urgent case in Dali Temple that he had to deal with, so he did not disturb him. He had to rest in the evening, so Gillian asked more.

Zhao Yanping explained: "At the end of the month, I will hand you a memorial to the emperor. It is rare to have free time today. I will think about how to write it."

He is good at solving cases and is proficient in writing files, but Zhao Yanping has never written such a memorial to ask for a seal, so he needs to make a draft carefully.

Gillian's expression changed slightly.

When Zhao Yanping was just promoted a while ago, although he spoke of the promotion, his expression was faint, and it seemed that it didn't matter whether he was promoted or not, but Jiao felt that he was actually very happy. So when Zhao Yanping hugged her and said he wanted to ask for an imperial decree for her, Jiao didn't disappoint him.

but……

"You ask for your mother, I'll forget it." Gillian said with her eyes down, "I heard from the female guest in the embroidery shop that not everyone can be a decree wife. In addition to her husband and son, women must also be both virtuous and capable, and at least they must pass on the family line for their family. I, like me, the emperor will not criticize you if you hire me, even if you criticize me, the censor will object."

Only then did Zhao Yanping know what was thinking in her head.

He suppressed Ah Jiao, looked at her eyes with a mist floating on her and said, "If you can't entrust the imperial edict, there are not many officials and ladies. You don't have to think about it, just wait and see, I will definitely be able to invite this imperial edict for you."

Gillian's tears rolled down.
