Palace of Heavenly Purity.
A servant walked in and whispered a few words into Liu Jin's ear.
Liu Jin's expression changed drastically, revealing a look of disbelief, as if he could not believe that this was true.
He asked a few questions in a low voice, and after getting a positive answer from the chamberlain, he fell silent.
Liu Jin only came back to his senses after the chamberlain left.。
Gu Dayong and the others looked at Liu Jin. They had guessed that it was likely that the news of Li Changsheng, the governor of the North Garrison of the Brocade Guard, had arrived.
Even Zhu Houzhao, who seemed to be seriously reviewing the memorial, raised his head and looked at Liu Jin.
It was obvious that he was not really serious about approving the memorial. Instead, he was waiting for news from Li Changsheng.
"Your Majesty, it's news from the North Garrison of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
Liu Jin took a deep breath as if he was calming the shock in his heart. His voice was trembling as he spoke.
"Speak!"
Hearing the change in Liu Jin's voice, Zhu Houzhao's expression turned serious as he spoke in a deep voice.
Gu Dayong and the others widened their ears, wanting to hear what was going on. It actually made Liu Jin's voice tremble.
Although they were all familiar with Liu Jin's character and knew that this old thing liked to add scenes and exaggerate things.
However, which one of them wasn't like that?
No one was nobler than the other.
However, perhaps something big had really happened?
After all, they had all seen the change in Liu Jin's expression just now. Which of them was not a good observer?
"Your Majesty, our Great Ming Dynasty has produced a true great philanthropist. A good official who is concerned about the country and the people, always thinking about the poor and putting the poor in his heart!”
Liu Jin knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao, tears streaming down his face. He was extremely touched and cried out with tears in his eyes.
“……”
Seeing Liu Jin's exaggerated appearance, Gu Dayong and the others secretly cursed him for being shameless. No wonder their status in the Emperor's heart was not as good as this old thing.
Zhu Houzhao stared at Liu Jin and said,""If you have something to say, say it!"
"Your Majesty, the reason why the North Garrison Guard of the Embroidered Uniform Guards exchanged all of the fifty thousand taels of silver for a large amount of rice, flour, grain, oil, and other living materials was because of the order of the Guardian Li.”
"According to the orders of Governor Li, all the cavalry of the North Town Governor's Office were dispatched to transport all the rice, flour, oil, and food to the northern part of the outer city. These rice, flour, oil, and food were distributed to every poor citizen in the northern part of the city.”
Liu Jin said with tears and snot in his eyes,"To be honest, when this old servant heard it just now, I thought I heard wrongly.
After confirming it several times, he was sure that it was real and not fake at all.
Now, everyone in the capital knew about it!”
He was indeed shocked and impressed by Li Changsheng's exchange of 50,000 taels of silver for daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain, and oil for the poor people in the northern area of the outer city. He was deeply moved.
After all, he was born poor. If he wasn't poor, who would be willing to cut off his penis and enter the palace to be a eunuch?
Therefore, his admiration was real, and his emotions were also real.
It was just that he did not show it to be so exaggerated.
Gu Dayong and the others were stunned. They couldn't believe it. They finally understood why Liu Jin's expression changed so much when he heard the news from the chamberlain.
They were all filled with admiration for Li Changsheng.
Perhaps these eunuchs were not good people, but the fact that they were born poor was universal.
Most eunuchs would enter the palace because of this.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment before he sighed. There was a trace of excitement on his face as he said,"Zhen knows that Li Qing does not understand corruption and bribery, and he would not do such a thing. He is too honest.
Only then did he reward Li Qing with more than fifty thousand taels of silver.
Who knew that Li Qing would change the money into rice, flour, grain, and oil and give them to the poor people in the northern area of the outer city.
If my Great Ming Dynasty had a few more good officials like Li Qing who cared about the country and the people, why would I worry about not being able to prosper!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty…"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Gu Dayong and the others knelt down and shouted.
"Pass on my decree, promote Li Qing to the Imperial Secret Service's Commander Qian, in charge of the Imperial Secret Service's North and South Garrison.”
Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and said in a low and powerful voice,""Three sets of bullfighting clothes and a top-grade embroidered spring saber.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were the Emperor's personal army. Promotion did not require the approval of the cabinet. Zhu Houzhao could even promote Li Changsheng directly to the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
However, he felt that Li Changsheng had only been serving as the Imperial Guard's Northern Military Governor for less than a month. His achievements were not enough. If he was promoted to the position of Imperial Guard's Commander, he would be easily targeted.
It was more suitable for him to be promoted to Commander Qian of the Embroidered Uniform Guards first.
Moreover, although Li Changsheng was not directly promoted to the position of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He was directly in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'Northern and Southern Garrison Departments.
Even if he wasn't the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was already better than the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
On the contrary, the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Tongzhi and even the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander above Li Changsheng had been taken over by Li Changsheng.
The two of them had no real power at all.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin and the others were dumbfounded.
To them, Li Changsheng was promoted to the position of Commander of the Imperial Secret Service, in charge of the Northern and Southern Garrison.
Sooner or later, Li Changsheng would be able to become the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
However, what the hell was with the three sets of bullfighting clothes?
As for the bullfighting uniform, which was usually given to officials of the third rank and above, he did not mention it.
As for the supreme-grade Embroidered Spring Saber, it was a true masterpiece and could not be compared to an ordinary Embroidered Spring Saber.
Even the Embroidered Spring Sabers in the hands of ordinary Embroidered Uniform Guards were carefully forged by the Military Weapon Bureau. They were all superior sabers that far surpassed the weapons of the army.
As for the supreme-grade Embroidered Spring Saber, it had been forged after a long time by fusing precious materials such as Meteoric Metal.
Every Embroidered Spring Saber was a divine weapon that countless people in the martial world would fight for.
Such a treasured saber had always been kept in the Emperor's palace treasury and had almost never been given out. Even the successive commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards had never received any rewards.
"Your Majesty," Liu Jin reminded in a low voice,"the Imperial Embroidered Uniform Guards are usually given one set. There is no precedent of directly giving three sets."”
Gu Dayong and the others nodded. The imperial robe was a symbol of status and also a manifestation of the emperor's great kindness.
There was no official who was given three sets of clothing at once.
