The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1511
In the evening of that day, the imperial edict issued by the central cabinet and sealed by Zhao Dongting arrived at Li Goudan's house.

Because Li Goudan was only working as a small yellow gate in the imperial study, and his rank was very low, it is impossible for the Li family to be granted the house on Qianda Street.

Over the years, Li Goudan's parents have not been able to make a fortune due to their own limitations.

Therefore, they still rely on Chen Wenlong's family.

When the eunuch delivering the decree arrived at Chen's mansion, Chen Wenlong had just returned home from get off work.

Before he had time to sit down, he saw a family member running in from outside and hurriedly shouted: "Master, the eunuch of the imperial palace has arrived."

This made Chen Wenlong startled slightly.

Because he himself is a member of the central cabinet, Zhao Dongting seldom passes imperial edicts to his family.Even if it is sympathy for his family, it is mostly given by Queen Le Chan to reward him.

But at this moment, he didn't bother to think too much, and said: "Go and invite Eunuch in."

Not long after, those eunuchs who delivered the decree were led in by the servants.

Their status is somewhat special, but of course it is nothing in front of Chen Wenlong, the Deputy Minister of State.Seeing Chen Wenlong, they immediately saluted, "Chen Fuling..."

Chen Wenlong was very familiar with the imperial edict, seeing that it was in the form of a central cabinet, he was even more puzzled, "Father-in-law, this is..."

The eunuch holding the imperial decree smiled and asked politely: "Excuse me, Fuling Chen, is Li Zhaoen in the mansion? Our family is here to pass the decree on behalf of the emperor and the central cabinet Lu Guowu decree."

Chen Wenlong was stunned: "Isn't Li Zhao'en in the Library Pavilion?"

Ding, who was next to him, said in succession, "Master, Mr. Li Zhaoen has already returned."

Hearing this, Chen Wenlong seemed to realize something, his face showed joy, and said: "Quickly let him come over to receive the order."

When Zhao Dongting asked Li Goudan to study hard in the library, Chen Wenlong guessed that the emperor should use Li Goudan again.But I didn't expect that the surprise would come so quickly.

He really valued Li Goudan very much, and he treated him as his junior.

After Jia Ding left, Chen Wenlong asked all the eunuchs to go into the hall, and ordered them to serve tea. He couldn't help asking, "I don't know what kind of official position Li Zhao'en was conferred by the Emperor and Mr. Lu?"

It was a good thing for Chen Wenlong to guess that the imperial decree was delivered to the family so quickly, and the faces of these eunuchs were full of congratulations.

If it was someone else, he might not be so concerned.But it was about Li Goudan, he really couldn't hold back.

The eunuch who passed the decree smiled and said: "Our family needs to congratulate Chen Fuling first. This time, Li Zhao'en is... a blockbuster..."

Chen Wenlong was even more pleased when he heard the words, "My father-in-law will soon stop betraying me."

The eunuch passing the decree was mysterious, and said in a low voice, "Chen Fuling might as well guess first?"

Chen Wenlong thought for a while, and said: "Li Zhao'en has served in the imperial study for two years, and the emperor is full of praise for him. I think he should be sent to a certain department of the Ministry of State as a doctor?"

The eunuch who passed the decree shook his head lightly, "No."

Chen Wenlong was slightly surprised, but then became more pleased, "Isn't that the servant?"

The eunuch who passed the decree still shook his head.

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

The eunuch who passed the decree said with a smile: "Li Zhao'en is only waiting to take office, and he is only one step away from you."

Chen Wenlong was dumbfounded, "Could it be that the emperor still intends to let him be the Minister?"

With the current official system of the Great Song Dynasty, the Ministry of State has one state affairs order and two deputy state affairs orders, and then there are various ministers.

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

After finishing speaking, he himself shook his head, "Impossible, impossible. Although Zhao En is knowledgeable, he is only 15 years old, so it is impossible to take on this important task."

The eunuch passing the decree said leisurely: "Deputy Chen ordered you not to 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 Zhao'en..."

What he said was tantamount to admitting that Li Zhaoen's official position was indeed Shangshu.

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

At this time, Li Goudan also appeared outside the lobby.His parents followed behind him.

It is estimated that Li Goudan has just returned, and the two people who miss their son so much are really reluctant to leave Li Goudan for half a step at this moment.

Entering the room, Li Goudan knelt down.

His parents quickly followed suit.

The eunuch passing the decree stood up, put on a serious look, and said, "Xiangxing's 11th year Jinshi, Li Zhao'en, Xiaohuangmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, accepted the decree."

Then he opened the imperial decree and read: "Follow the heavens... Li Zhao'en, the little yellow gate in the inner province, is very talented. Although he is young, he is a scholar of heaven and man, and he should be a model for scholars in the world... I have specially set up a science and technology department, and named Li Zhao'en as a science and technology department. Minister of the Ministry. Second-rank official, another set of official residence on Qianda Street. His mother taught his son well, and granted the fourth-rank imperial order to his wife..."

After reading, seeing Li Goudan's family kneeling on the ground in a daze, the eunuch passing the decree smiled and said, "Li Zhao'en, still not accepting the decree?"

Li Goudan came back to his senses, quickly took the imperial decree with both hands, and kowtowed: "My minister Li Zhao'en kowtows to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The eunuch who passed the decree also changed his title at this moment, saying: "Li Shangshu, you will be the Minister of Science and Technology in the future, don't let down the emperor's expectations."

After all, he is also the chief eunuch who entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is much older. It is not too much to say such a thing.

Li Goudan nodded vigorously.

The chief eunuch looked back at Chen Wenlong again, cupped his hands and said: "Chen Fuling, our family is rushing back to the palace to report on our duties, so we won't bother you."

Chen Wenlong did not respond.

The eunuch also knew that he was suppressed, so he didn't take it seriously, smiled, and led the people out of the house.

Li Goudan stood up from the ground, then knelt down to Chen Wenlong: "Grandpa Chen."

In the years since he arrived in Changsha, Chen Wenlong has taken care of him, and he will keep all these kindness in his heart.

Chen Wenlong came back to his senses, even helped Li Zhaoen up, and said, "You child, what are you doing seeing me like this!"

Then he said with a complicated expression: "You are now a Shangshu."

Li Goudan said: "Although Zhao'en is a minister, Grandpa Chen, you are still Zhao'en's grandfather!"

When Chen Wenlong heard this, his face was full of relief.

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

His father asked Li Goudan, "Goudan, what kind of official is the Minister of Science and Technology? But he is as old as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

His understanding of the official system of the imperial court is probably still in the previous era. He only knows the six departments of Gong, Li, Li, Hu, Bing, and Punishment.

Before Li Goudan could speak, Chen Wenlong couldn't laugh or cry at the side, and said, "Mr. Li, don't call Zhaoen by his nickname in front of outsiders anymore. He is now the official secretary of the imperial court. If you do this in front of outsiders, If you call him, you will be laughed at."

Then he explained: "The Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology is the same size as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

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

He has probably never had such a dream in his life. Back then, Li Goudan was selected as a Jinshi, which was enough to make this simple man with his face on the loess and his back to the sky overjoyed.

Probably, if he could see Li Goudan as a magistrate in this life, he would think it was smoke from the ancestral grave.

And how much older is Shangshu than the county magistrate?

he does not know.

All he knew was that he was much, much older anyway.

He used to think that the county magistrate was the Lord of Heaven, but now, his son is the Lord of Heaven who is much higher than the Lord of Heaven.

In fact, not to mention him, Li Goudan was named a minister at the age of 15, and the whole Song Dynasty might be shocked when this news spreads.

Li Goudan's mother was also full of disbelief, and then suddenly burst into tears.

Li Goudan wiped his mother's tears away, and said: "Mother, Goudan is an official now, why are you still crying? You are also the emperor's appointed wife!"

His mother just hugged him, muttering in her mouth: "My son is promising, my son is promising..."

She is illiterate, and has never taught Li Goudan knowledge, only taught Li Goudan to behave in a responsible manner.Never thought that Li Goudan would have such a great future.

As for the fact that she herself was appointed Lady Gaoming, before the news that Li Goudan was named Minister, she didn't take it to heart at all.

Even more likely, she may not even understand what Mrs. Gao Ming is.

Chen Wenlong was watching this scene, just smiling.I also feel a little envious.

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

As for the younger generations of his Chen family, they can still invite famous teachers to teach them knowledge, but they have to face far more temptations than Li Goudan when they conduct themselves in the world.

In the end, even if he could maintain his conscience, it would be difficult for him to have a pure heart like Li Goudan.
