Vermilion Bird Street. Chen Manor.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Chen An jumped off the horse and shouted.
The door opened with a bang.
Miss Chen quickly ran out of the residence, her face full of joy.
"Anan, did you see the emperor in the palace today? Did the emperor praise you? Did he reward you?”
"Hehe! Mother, of course I'm praising you." Chen An replied with a smile. Then, he raised his hand and pointed."Here, His Majesty has given me a pony as a means of transportation. Mother, don't look down on it. this is the legendary Ferghana Horse!”
What was that? Ferghana Horse?
Heavens, this was a legendary horse that could travel thousands of miles in a day!
"Thank you, Tian Zi, thank you, Your Majesty! You're so good to Anan!"
The kind-hearted Miss Chen put her palms together and bowed in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Seeing this, Chen An only smiled. He did not stop her, nor would he tell the Chens about his request for the title of Prime Minister.
After all, she was just an ordinary merchant's daughter.
It was useless to say it, but it would instead make her worry.
"Uncle Yue!"
Yue Qianshan quickly ran over when he heard the shout.
"Little Lord, what can I do for you?”
"Little pony, I'll leave it to you. You should know how to raise it, right?"
Yue Qianshan was extremely excited.
"I know, I know! When I was in the army, I was a cavalry lieutenant and knew how to raise horses. "But
…" Chen An asked.
"It's just that Ferghana Horses are extremely precious, and raising them up requires a lot of money.”
"Uh, I was wondering what big problem it was. So it was money. Hehe, anything that could be solved with money was a small matter. Uncle Yue, don't worry. The Chen Family will have plenty of money in the future.”
Chen An patted his chest and said confidently.
Yue Qianshan was overjoyed and immediately ran to get the horse.
The ferghana pony was not afraid of strangers and followed Yue Qianshan slowly into the Chen Manor.
When they heard that the Little Lord had brought back a Ferghana Horse, the maids and servants came to watch.
Praise and praise could be heard.
…In the
afternoon.
After lunch, Chen An entered the palace again.
After what had happened in the morning, the general guarding the palace gate did not dare to stop him and allowed this audacious little prime minister to enter the palace.
Shangyi Bureau.
"Sister from the Clothing Bureau, can you help me make a prime minister's court dress?”Chen An said cutely.
Hearing this, the palace maids of the Clothing Bureau bowed in unison."Here!"
It was obvious that everyone was afraid of this little guy.
As long as he did not threaten the safety of the palace, no one would dare to refuse his request.
"Perhaps, even if this little prime minister said that he wanted to enter the harem garden to play, no one would stop him, right? After all, he was only a seven-year-old child. He was more reassuring than a eunuch.”
The palace maids of the Clothing Bureau complained in their hearts.
Immediately, everyone gathered around and measured the height and size of this "little prime minister"…
15 minutes later.
"Alright, child prodigy!"
"Sister, please call me 'An Xiang'. I am the first Prime Minister of the Great Tang!"
"Uh…Alright, Prime Minister An. We've measured your scale and will make your court clothes tonight. Tomorrow morning, send him to the Chen Residence."
"Hehe, thank you, sisters! Then I'll take my leave first. Farewell!"
Chen An waved his little hand and turned to leave.
"Farewell, Minister An!"
Everyone collectively bowed and saluted, sending off this little fellow who had "awed the Imperial Palace."
Time
flew by.
The next morning. The sky was just beginning to brighten.
A young eunuch from the palace brought over four sets of Prime Minister's court robes.
According to the attire of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, they were: Spring cyan, summer red, autumn white; Winter black. The four sets of court robes were embroidered with the pattern of a phoenix pond.
There were also goldfish bags and purple ribbons.
As for the crown (hat) and the seal (Prime Minister's Golden Seal), he didn't have them.
According to the custom since ancient times, men could only wear crowns after they reached adulthood and performed the "Crown Ceremony".
Underage children did not wear crowns.
As for the golden seal…
Li Shimin was already itching to get rid of Chen An, so how could he give him the seal?
That was the seal of authority, symbolizing "below one and above ten thousand".
Chen An was very happy to receive the Prime Minister's uniform.
It didn't matter if he didn't have the seal now.
Maybe he would have one after some time?
Hehe.
"Anan, what is this?"
Miss Chen was dumbfounded. With her knowledge, she could not tell what kind of clothes they were.
"Mother, this is the court dress His Majesty bestowed upon me. I'm an official!"
"Really?"
Miss Chen was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true."
"That's great, that's great. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty. His Majesty is really too good to my An 'an!”
Miss Chen bowed in the direction of the Imperial Palace to express her gratitude. She did not even ask what her official position was.
To the Chen family, as long as her son could become an official. Regardless of whether it was a high official or a low official, it was a joyous occasion that brought honor to their ancestors and made them feel proud.
Nothing else mattered.
Chen An was speechless. He could only let his mother do as she pleased.
After breakfast.
"Mother, I'm on duty!”
"Anan, go! Remember to respect your superior and do your job seriously. Don't let down the emperor's love for you.”
"I know, mother!"
Chen An waved his little hand and left the mansion.
Yue Qianshan and the others hurriedly followed.
When they were quite far away from the Chen Residence, Yue Qianshan asked softly,""Little Lord, what official uniform are you wearing today? What grade is it?"
"Prime Minister uniform!"
Chen An said lightly.
The moment these words were said, everyone was shocked.
What was that? Prime Minister?
Heavens!
What had happened in the Imperial Palace yesterday that made this little fellow rise from a commoner to the position of Prime Minister?
Was the emperor crazy?
Yue Qianshan and the others did not dare to ask further.
The terror within was already beyond words.
…
Imperial City. South of the outer palace.
This was the highest-level office area of the Tang Dynasty, where many palaces were located.
The governing system of the Great Tang was mainly: Three provinces and six departments.
Three provinces: Central Book Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province.
Among them, the Ministry of Central Affairs was in charge of "discussing and drafting the edict", the Ministry of Internal Affairs was in charge of "reviewing and issuing", and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in charge of "executing".
For this reason, Shangshu Province was divided into six departments:
Ministry of Works, Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Justice
…
The officials in the court began to go to work.
The Head of the Secretariat, Fang Xuanling, walked into the Ministry of Central Affairs with a gloomy face and began his work for the day.
The subordinates buried their heads in their work and did not dare to make a sound, afraid that they would offend the Head of the Secretariat.
Right at this moment!
A roll call suddenly sounded from outside.
"The 'Little Prime Minister' of the Great Tang has arrived!”
What was that?
Everyone was shocked.
Fang Xuanling's hand trembled, and the ink on the table instantly turned black.
Oh my god, that cunning little fellow is here!
