Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 406 Promotion
"The Longicorn Red Clam listens to your orders."

Eunuch Hong has a deep and powerful voice.

The longicorn red clam was shocked.

All this trouble has been going on just for this imperial edict mentioned by the people of Yu State.

There is a saying among humans: never joke.

What we are actually talking about are imperial edicts, handwritten orders, and oral orders, and there are many cases of regrets.

Only with the imperial edict can its position be completely secure and it can continue to live a comfortable life.

The longicorn red clam walked forward.

As the god of rivers and lakes, it does not need to kneel when meeting the Holy Emperor, and the same applies to the imperial edict.

Eunuch Hong smiled kindly at the longhorn beetle Zhuha: "It is indeed a strange monster of heaven and earth. It is really extraordinary."

This Tianniu Zhuha was once one of the three pillars of the Purple Gold Palace.

If it is willing to surrender to the State of Yu, it will be just like the Duke of Wei back then, with great publicity value.

Not to mention that this time the longhorn beetle red clam made great contributions
Then Lord Hong spoke:
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Tianniu Zhuha is a kind-hearted man. He has made great contributions in suppressing bandits and preventing floods, and is named the God of the Chijiang River. He enjoys the Chijiang River for thousands of miles."

Say it.

Eunuch Hong handed the imperial edict to Longibiao Zhuha with a smile.

Longniu Zhuha was quite polite: "Thank you, Holy Emperor. Thank you, Eunuch Hong."

Eunuch Hong smiled even more:
"Congratulations, Lord Zhu He. From now on, the vast waters of the Chijiang River will depend on Lord Zhu He to take care of it."

"It is my duty and I will do my best."

If it weren't for the huge difference in appearance, one would have thought that Tianniu Zhuha was an old man who was well versed in the ways of officialdom.

The imperial edict was read out.

Zhou Dinghai was about to step forward.

While he was having a good conversation with this powerful old eunuch, he heard that Eunuch Hong actually took an imperial edict from the young eunuch beside him.

This scene surprised everyone.

Even Minister Wang, who had been accompanying the trip, was somewhat caught off guard.

Two imperial edicts?

Eunuch Hong looked at Li Rui with a smile: "Master Li, accept the order!"

Li Rui was a little surprised.

About to kneel.

But he was stopped by Eunuch Hong: "Sir Li, His Majesty said that you are equal to the third rank, and you don't have to kneel anymore."

Hear the words.

Li Rui simply stood up straight.

In order to encourage warriors throughout the world, the imperial court of the State of Yu made a special provision that warriors of the third rank did not need to kneel when meeting the emperor.

This is a privilege that even a third-rank official cannot enjoy.

of course.

It is also because if you want all the warriors in the world to kneel down, the price will be too high.

That is why Taizu established this rule so early on.

Just when everyone was surprised.

Eunuch Hong's voice sounded again: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: General Zhenshan is loyal, kind, and righteous. He has made extraordinary achievements and is promoted to Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief. He is also granted the title of Earl of Pingyuan and is granted a fief of 1,000 households. I decree this!"

Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief. Earl of Pingyuan!
Everyone was shocked.

If I remember correctly, Li Rui is the first person to be conferred the title of earl in the past three hundred years!

Li Rui opened his mouth but said nothing.

have to.

All these proved that he was a favorite of the emperor.

Although he has broken through the spirit refining stage, he is still apparently in the stage of nurturing and has not yet broken through.

But before he could make a breakthrough, he got promoted ahead of time.

Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief.

Third rank!
Li Rui directly jumped two levels.

The Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief is a post in the Censorate. According to the rules of the Yu State court, the left is more important than the right, so generally there is only one left one, who is in charge of the affairs of the Censorate full-time, while there are several right ones, almost all of whom are part-time.

It was only because the matters he was doing were confidential that he elevated his status and held a nominal position in the Censorate to make it easier for him to act.

Many governors of various states also served as the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

But what surprised him even more was the Earl of Pingyuan.

The previous Viscount could be said to be an empty title, but the current Earl of Pingyuan is truly prominent.

Except for a few founding earls who still remain, they are almost gone from the world.

Li Rui is unique in hundreds of years.

This shows how much grace the emperor has bestowed on him.

In a sense, the status of some second-rank ministers in the heart of the Lord of Dragon Court is not as important as Li Rui.

Zhou Dinghai looked at Li Rui meaningfully.

They are all old officials.

Of course, everyone present sensed something unusual.

Li Rui took the imperial edict from Eunuch Hong:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he was about to stand up.

Lines of small words appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the intermediate plot of becoming a general and a prime minister - promotion and honor. ]

[Getting promoted is a great thing in life. If you can have both, it is the greatest joy. Congratulations to the host for receiving such a great honor. You will surely have a bright future.]

[Complete the mission and get promoted. Rewards are being calculated.]

【Task rating B.】

【Name: Li Rui】

[It is detected that the host has completed all the intermediate plots of becoming a general and a prime minister at the age of 25. The performance is excellent. The next reward will be enhanced. Please achieve the achievement as soon as possible to open the reward! ]

Li Rui looked at the small words on the panel.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The two rewards actually collided with each other.

He began to look forward to what the next reward would be.

At this time.

Eunuch Hong's voice rang in my ears: "Master Li, congratulations, congratulations."

All those who were treated with such courtesy by this notorious eunuch eventually became important figures in the court.

after that.

Zhou Dinghai held a banquet in his mansion.

Eunuch Hong and Minister Wang were treated very well.

Minister Wang was sitting next to Li Rui.

"Master Li, when I was in the capital, I saw that Master Li was not an ordinary person, and it turned out to be true."

His eyes were full of emotion.

When they first met in the capital, he was the Minister of Rites who presided over the imperial examinations. If it weren't for Nie Siming, Li Rui would not even be qualified to enter the military examination training ground.

But several years pass in the blink of an eye.

Li Rui was actually equal to him.

Even in terms of status and power, they are even superior.

How could he not feel emotional?

Li Rui has become the pillar of the future of the Yu State and a trusted minister of the Holy Emperor.

Moreover, unlike him, Li Rui is not only a third-rank official, but also an upper-third-rank strong man. His future prospects will be much better than his.

"We are all acquaintances, Lord Wang, please stop complimenting me."

Li Rui said with a smile.

In addition to Minister Wang, there were also Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong. The envoys who went to the Wu Kingdom did not expect that they could reunite again.

The banquet ended.

Li Rui was about to leave.

But he was stopped by a young eunuch beside Eunuch Hong.

"Master Li, Master Hong invites you to the backyard for a chat."

Li Rui seemed to have guessed it long ago, so he had been waiting at the door.

After hearing the little eunuch's words, he followed the little eunuch to the backyard of the governor's mansion.

Once inside.

Then he saw the chief eunuch from the Imperial Household Department already waiting at the handrail in the courtyard.

When Eunuch Hong saw Li Rui appear, he smiled and said, "Master Li, you are here."

"Eunuch Hong."

Li Rui clasped his fists.

Eunuch Hong motioned Li Rui to sit down.

The two men sat opposite each other at the stone table, and Eunuch Hong spoke up, "Master Li, this time, in addition to the imperial edict, His Majesty also ordered this old servant to bring you a handwritten letter."

talking.

Eunuch Hong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

He took the imperial edict and took a look at it.

The familiar handwriting of the Holy Emperor.

One thing was written above, that is, in addition to being the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate and the Earl of Pingyuan, Li Rui actually received another promotion, that is, he became the Guardian of the Mountain of the Secret Guards.

He is almost the fastest promoted person among the secret guards.

Eunuch Hong looked at Li Rui with a smile:

"Sir Li, His Majesty said that from now on, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of Qingwei Sect."
