Zhangsun Sheng and his children knelt on the ground.
"Zhangsun Sheng accepts the decree."
Zhangsun Sheng's heart was in turmoil.
Was it a good thing or a bad thing for the palace to suddenly send an imperial edict?
Zhangsun Anye and Zhangsun Huanan gloated at Zhangsun Wuji.
Could it be that this kid had angered the Emperor and had issued a decree to punish him?
Sensing their gazes, Zhangsun Wuji cursed silently.
If I were to be sentenced by the Holy Court, would you two not be implicated?
In fact, he had also vaguely guessed the contents of the imperial edict.
The eunuch began to read out the edict." The Emperor said: Zhangsun Sheng's son, Zhangsun Wuji, is young and promising. His character is excellent. I am very pleased. He is granted the title of Zuo Qianniu Bei, a sixth-grade official.”
"Zhangsun Wuji has been ordered by me to carry out a confidential task. I have specially given 50 imperial guards to be dispatched at all times. If they encounter anyone who blocks their way, they have the right to kill first before reporting!”
Zhangsun Sheng was ecstatic when he heard that. His son had made a name for himself.
"Wuji, why aren't you accepting the decree?" he urged softly.”
"Zhangsun Wuji accepts the decree and thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!”
Zhangsun Wuji respectfully received the imperial edict, his heart filled with endless emotions.
He finally had an official position.
The sixth rank was not high, but it was a position with real power in the Body-preparation Prefecture.
Although Li Shimin's father, Li Yuan, was a hereditary Duke, his current position was only that of a junior supervisor in the palace, a fifth-grade official.
Zuo Qianniu was satisfied.
Furthermore, there was His Majesty's promise.
He was the first minister of the Energy Department.
That was going to go down in history.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to do what His Majesty had instructed him to do.
If he didn't do it well, everything would be over!
Second and Third Brother looked at Zhangsun Wuji with envy and jealousy.
Why did he suddenly become an official?
The two of them were still white. Could it be that they would have to bow when they saw Fourth Brother in the future?
Was there still justice?
Zhangsun Sheng smiled.
He asked the butler to take out two golden leaves and hand them to the eunuch.""Angels, thank you for your hard work."
The two eunuchs smiled and accepted it.
"General Zhangsun, don't thank me yet. We still have an imperial edict here.”
With that, the two eunuchs took out an imperial edict from their sleeves.
They looked at Zhangsun Wugou kindly.""Miss Zhangsun, kneel down and accept the decree.”
Zhangsun Wugou was stunned.”
The eunuch smiled.”
Although he was puzzled, Zhangsun Sheng still brought Zhangsun Wugou along and knelt down to receive the decree.
" The Emperor said: Zhangsun Sheng's daughter, Guanyin Maid, has a pure heart and is very filial. Her performance in the Rubik's cube competition was outstanding. She was specially awarded the title of 'Inner Scholar' and was given the sixth rank. She was given the freedom to walk in the palace.”
"My daughter, Zhangsun Wugou, receives the decree."
After the eunuch left, the family looked at each other.
Zhangsun Wugou held the imperial edict and looked weakly at his father.""Father, what kind of official is this person from the Internal Study House?”
Zhangsun Sheng frowned." In the previous dynasty, they were known as Zhongshu Sheren. Their authority was similar to that of the Han Dynasty's pen-wielding eunuchs. Later on, their authority was weakened. In our dynasty, they were changed to Neishu Sheren. They were in charge of imperial edicts, responsible for drafting imperial edicts, and so on…"
"But why did His Majesty make you a member of the Internal Study?”
"The imperial edict said that my younger sister's filial piety is commendable. She performed well in the Rubik's cube competition…" Zhangsun Wuji said from the side.
" No matter what," Zhangsun Sheng laughed loudly." My daughter is now an official. This is a good thing!"”
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the social atmosphere was open, like the sea accepting hundreds of rivers.
It was not unusual for a woman to be an official.
Even during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, official positions were specially set up for women.
During the time of Wu Zetian.
Shangguan Wan 'er had also been a member of the Internal Study and was known as the female prime minister.
Under such a social atmosphere, Zhangsun Sheng did not object to his daughter being promoted to an official position. Instead, he was very pleased.
Only Second Brother and Third Brother looked at each other.
Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou were actually conferred official titles at the same time?
Then, in this family, the status of the two brothers would definitely decline.
They looked at each other. Perhaps they should think of a way.
At this moment, Zhangsun Sheng, who was in a good mood, suddenly trembled.。
He sat on the bed with his hand on his forehead, his left hand trembling.
Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed.”
Zhangsun Sheng gritted his teeth." It's alright. I'll be fine after a while!"”
Zhangsun Wugou suddenly reacted.
She quickly took out the blood pressure monitor from her bag.
"Dad, stretch out your arm. I'll help you take your blood pressure.”
"What is blood pressure?" Zhangsun Sheng was confused. What are you holding in your hand?"
"Father isn't feeling well now. Guanyin Maid, don't add to the trouble."”
"This is a tool given by His Majesty to examine Father's body," Zhangsun Wugou said calmly.”
Upon hearing that it was bestowed by His Majesty, Third Brother immediately shut his mouth and did not speak.
Zhangsun Wugou successfully rolled up Zhangsun Sheng's sleeves and began to measure his blood pressure.
"High pressure 183, low pressure 92!
Dad, you have severe high blood pressure! No wonder you have a headache!"
Zhangsun Wugou was shocked when he saw the value.
His Majesty was right.
Father actually had high blood pressure, and it was severe high blood pressure!
"Fortunately, His Majesty gave me a special medicine."
Zhangsun Wugou took out a special blood pressure medicine and took out a pill before bringing warm water over.
"Father, take the medicine first."
"Was this also bestowed by His Majesty?" asked Zhangsun Sheng.”
"Yes, father. Take it first and see the effect!”
When Zhangsun Sheng heard that it was the Emperor's medicine, he no longer hesitated.
After taking it with warm water, he closed his eyes and waited.
The children waited anxiously.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhangsun Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
He suddenly smiled." It's really effective. My head doesn't hurt anymore!"”
Zhangsun Wugou instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
She handed over the box of blood pressure medicine." Father, remember this. Take this box of medicine once a day. One pill at a time. Don't stop!"”
"Tell me when you're almost done eating. I'll go into the palace to ask His Majesty for medicine.”
"This medicine is so magical. It must be very valuable, right?" Zhangsun Sheng hesitated.”
"It is already a great grace for His Majesty to give us this box. How can we be thick-skinned and ask for it again?”
"Father, you don't have to think too much about this," said Zhangsun Wugou immediately.”
"His Majesty has already said that father has made great contributions to the Great Sui. It was you who single-handedly divided the Turks into two and brought decades of peace to the Great Sui. You are the pillar of the country, so there is no need to worry about the problem of medicine.”
Zhangsun Sheng was so touched that tears streamed down his face." Your Majesty has treated me well. It's enough!"”
He said seriously to Zhangsun Wuji,""I know that His Majesty has given you an important task, and Father won't ask if it's inconvenient for you to say it. However, you have to remember that His Majesty's kindness to my Zhangsun Clan is as heavy as a mountain. Even if you have to risk your life, you have to do what His Majesty has instructed you to do!”
" Father, don't worry," Zhangsun Wuji said solemnly." There are no cowards in the Zhangsun Clan, and I won't tarnish Father's reputation!"”
Zhangsun Sheng laughed in relief." That's good. I, Zhangsun Sheng, have given birth to a pair of good children. Haha!"”
