Chapter 506: Promoted to Jingzhao Yin, the Governor of Yongzhou in reality but not in name

This child is afraid that he has been holding it in for a long time, his belly full of bad water... Yuwen Hu narrowed his eyes to examine Chen Yan, seeing the sharp light surging in his eyes, that irrepressible determination and the certainty of success, a meaningful arc unconsciously hooked at the corners of his mouth, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

He withdrew his gaze, tapped his fingertips lightly on the rosewood desk, and his tone carried a touch of knowing laughter: "I called you here in a hurry today, originally intending to let you take full charge!"

If you don't say it's not a family, you don't enter a family's door, right?

He just thought of it all at once!

Yuwen Hu summoned Chen Yan to prepare to play a pair of "Dui Dui Hu" with the Qi State...

Hearing this, Chen Yan looked up at the line of sight of his Grand Chancellor father. The ruthlessness in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a look that was neither a smile nor a frown, his tone meaningful: "Your subordinate will surely send this 'grand gift' beautifully, making the east never forget it for the rest of their lives!"

Since Grand Chancellor Father has spoken, if he doesn't make the Qi State lose both the wife and the soldiers, regretting it to the bones...

The "Chen" in Chen's name could be written upside down!

That hidden sharpness made Yuwen Hu feel more and more at ease. He nodded heavily, his expression suddenly becoming solemn. He pressed his hands on the desk and said in a deep voice: "You just go ahead and do it!"

"Up and down the imperial court, in the six official offices, including myself, all can cooperate with you!"

This child of his own family never speaks big or empty words.

Since he is so confident, as his father, he must help the scene and provide the greatest help!

Hearing this, Chen Yan bowed again, his waist bent extremely low, his tone respectful and loud: "Thank you, Grand Tutor!"

Immediately, a flash of darkness and ferocity crossed his eyes.

If he doesn't make the Qi State feel pain to the heart, it would be sorry for the support and trust of his good father...

Yuwen Hu raised his hand to press it, his tone gentle: "What thanks among family!"

Immediately, he pointed to the rosewood chair opposite and said: "Sit down quickly."

"Yes." Chen Yan replied and sat back in his original seat as instructed.

Yuwen Hu picked up the teacup in front of him, took a shallow sip, and the warm tea soup moistened his throat. He put down the teacup, as if remembering something, his gaze softened a lot, and he said: "When you have time, bring your pair of children to see me!"

Mentioning the pair of children, the solemnity on Chen Yan's face completely dissipated, replaced by an unfathomable warmth. He replied respectfully: "Yes."

Immediately, his face was full of smiles, his tone carrying a touch of anticipation: "When the children's full-month wine comes, I must ask you, Grand Tutor, to come and tie the longevity locks for the two children, to get some of your good fortune, and bless them to be safe and smooth, without disaster or difficulty."

The longevity lock needs to be tied by a highly respected close relative to be considered complete.

In Chen's heart, Grand Chancellor Father is the most suitable candidate.

Both children can receive the protection of their elders, which is an even greater honor.

Yuwen Hu agreed without hesitation, his eyes carrying a smile: "Good!"

As he spoke, he shook his head, his face showing a touch of helpless yet gratified emotion, "A Yan, you don't know that kid A Ze, since he came back last night, he has been full of praise..."

"That mouth hasn't closed since he smiled!"

That's for sure? After all, whether the younger brother and sister give birth to a son or a daughter, the marriage is already set... Chen Yan muttered in his heart and nodded, saying: "Your subordinate was also happy all night!"

The smile in Yuwen Hu's eyes deepened. Suddenly, he tapped his forehead lightly, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot the gift I prepared for the two little ones."

Before he finished speaking, he reached into his wide sleeves and took out a bright yellow scroll. The edges of the scroll were embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, which was exactly the regulation of the imperial edict.

Yuwen Hu handed the edict gently to Chen Yan, a hook of an arc at the corners of his mouth, and laughed: "Take a look!"

Chen Yan felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly took the edict with both hands and unfolded it carefully. His gaze swept over the vermilion imperial seal and the neat handwriting on it. His pupils shrank abruptly, and he looked up suddenly, his tone full of disbelief: "Grand Tutor, this reward is too much!"

Yuwen Hu turned the jade thumb ring with his fingertips, his expression indifferent, and asked back: "Is it too much?"

He paused and continued: "For the eldest son of the Zhuguo who has made repeated miraculous contributions to Great Zhou, receiving this reward is only reasonable..."

Chen Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at the two lines of vermilion characters "Zhongjian General" and "Right Zhonglang General" on the edict again, his fingertips rubbing gently on the silk.

He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, his face showing a look of being unable to laugh or cry, and then he sighed helplessly: "But the official rank and title you gave Ji'an are already higher than your subordinate's..."

The title of Yongning County Lord given to little Shuying is just a title, which can be considered reasonable...

But what was given to little Ji'an was directly the title of Zhongjian General, and the official position of Right Zhonglang General, which can be called the end point of countless people's lifelong struggle...

Even, it is a full grade higher than Chen, who is currently the Magistrate of Wannian!

Hearing this, Yuwen Hu was still as light as a breeze. He raised his hand and flicked the sleeves of his purple python robe, the fabric making a slight sound as it cut through the air, and he laughed loudly: "Then you, as his father, should be promoted to Jingzhao Yin!"

He paused and added: "It will be more convenient to handle things!"

The original Wannian Magistrate was just for A Yan to temper himself.

Since there is an opportunity now, it is just right to let him take on more burdens!

Promoted in less than half a year?... Chen Yan was startled. He immediately stood up, bowed and cupped his fists, and said: "Thank you, Grand Tutor!"

Jingzhao Yin is in charge of the capital's important territory and manages all affairs of the capital, with great power.

Coupled with the fact that Chen still holds the Mingjing Si, the power in his hands now is almost equivalent to the Governor of Yongzhou in reality but not in name!

Yuwen Hu tapped his fingertips lightly on the rosewood desk, the crisp sound intertwining with the crackling of the charcoal fire in the stove. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth slowly: "The position of Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture is also vacant, let A Ze take over!"

A Ze still lacks tempering in all aspects, and he, as his father, is busy with official business on weekdays and doesn't have so much energy to teach and point out.

He can only let him follow his elder brother A Yan...

He paused, changed the subject, and his tone carried full trust: "A Yan, as for the other official positions in Jingzhao Prefecture, you can arrange them yourself. Choose some reliable and capable people. After you choose them, report them to the Heavenly Office for the record, no need to ask for instructions on everything."

"Obey!" Chen Yan nodded and replied respectfully.

With the Grand Chancellor's words, he was spared the trouble of maneuvering; it was perfect to directly promote Gao Jiong, Liu Mu Zhi, Huan Jing, and the others...

Immediately, after thinking for a while, he looked up and asked for instructions: "Grand Tutor, what do you think about A Xiang taking over as Chang'an Magistrate, and Houmochen Xu taking over as Wannian Magistrate?"

Hearing this, Yuwen Hu's tapping stopped. After a moment, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Can!"

"This is very appropriate!"

A Heng's eldest son must be well cultivated, and he must be cultivated to be a pillar of Great Zhou, so that this child can become a capable arm of A Ze and A Yan in the future.

And since Houmochen Yi is so sensible, his eldest son must also be promoted to implement the strategy of valuing the son over the father.

Chen Yan still had one thing on his mind. He pursed his lips, looked up at Yuwen Hu, and asked tentatively: "Grand Tutor, your subordinate has one more thing to ask..."

"I don't know how the original Governor Liu Bingzhong will be settled after your subordinate takes over as Jingzhao Yin?"

This kind of thing shouldn't have been asked too much, but Chen had promised old Liu before...

Yuwen Hu picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip of hot tea. The warmth of the tea soup washed over the tip of his tongue. He slowly put down the teacup, rubbed his fingertips gently on the rim of the cup, and said calmly: "Bingzhong has been in this position for some years, and his political achievements are also good. It is time to be promoted..."

He paused and continued: "Let's promote him to Right Guanglu Grand Master!"

The Jingzhao Prefecture had a murder case of officials and a major event involving fake copper coins. Although Liu Bingzhong had no direct responsibility, he had the responsibility of negligence.

However, considering his decisive choice of side and the fact that he had never been a fence-sitter, Yuwen Hu still felt that he was a talent that could be molded.

The honorary title of Right Guanglu Grand Master would let Liu Bingzhong avoid the limelight for now. After this matter passes, he will be transferred to a position with real power and reused.

Chen Yan's waist bent lower, his hands cupped in front of his chest, and he said loudly: "Grand Tutor is wise!"

Yuwen Hu laughed when he heard this, the solemnity on his face dissipated a little. He raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, his tone carrying a touch of expectation and trust: "A Yan, go! I am waiting for your good news..."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Chen Yan turned around in response and was about to lift his steps to leave when a key thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his steps paused abruptly.

He turned around slowly, a profound look flashing in his eyes. He bowed and cupped his fists again, his tone respectful and earnest: "Grand Tutor, your subordinate suddenly remembered one thing and still needs to ask you for something..." ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
