After a series of complaints.
Zhao Zhong, one of the Ten Attendants of the Eternal, had already walked out of the inner palace with an edict.
Jiuqing saw Zhao Zhong and quickly quieted down, waiting for him to announce that the Emperor had used the imperial seal and the court session had ended.
However, a few sharp-eyed officials immediately noticed something unusual.
"Eh? No!"
"If it's just to announce that His Majesty has already used the seal, there's no need to bring the assembly out again. Wouldn't it be fine to just keep it in the palace for filing?”
"Zhao Zhong is holding a document in his hand. Could it be that there's another decree?”
"Or was there a point in today's meeting that was rejected by His Majesty?”
Everyone waited quietly to see which point was rejected.
Zhao Zhong slowly walked to the side of the imperial court and read out the edict,"
"I have heard that Zhuo County has elected Liu Bei.”
"Filial piety, honesty, self-restraint, giving up official positions for the country.”
"The assembly has decided to appoint the county magistrate of Liangxiang, Zhuo County…"
"Therefore, he is pardoned from paying the palace repair money to honor the kindness of the imperial court and to expand the morale of the people with lofty ideals.”
"To make loyal people forget themselves and overcome the difficulties of the times together…"
When the three dukes and nine ministers heard this edict, their expressions suddenly became more and more interesting.
What?
Since the second year of Zhongping.
Nangong Wuhuo collected money to repair the palace.
He had never heard of His Majesty issuing an edict alone.
Pardon the money that a specific official needs to pay to take office!
Liu Bei was just a county magistrate, yet he was given an exception?
What kind of treatment was this!
Why should Liu Bei make an exception?
"Silence, silence!"
"What's there to argue about? This is His Majesty's special decree to show mercy.”
"It's not like we're rejecting the assembly's appointment.”
Zhao Zhong coldly mocked the courtier.
Only then did the courtiers realize that this matter could not be discussed and quickly dispersed.
If the Emperor did not agree with the results of the discussion, the ministers could remonstrate.
However, the Emperor accepted all of it, but only gave him extra grace.
The favor he gave was not the authority of the imperial court, but the authority of the West Garden Official Shop.
No one could even say anything.
The three dukes and nine ministers fled in disorder.
After a few steps, he gradually came back to his senses.
The Emperor's motive for doing this was already very clear. It was to encourage the people of the world.
Even if the imperial court mistreats you, you must continue to serve the imperial court. As long as you persist for a long time, the imperial court will definitely see it and give you greater benefits.
From this point of view, this was also forced by the times.
He had to set such a positive example and give everyone the impression that he did good deeds for the court without asking for anything in return.
With this thought, everyone's conscience calmed down.
He would not be jealous of Liu Bei anymore. At most, he would be a little envious.
This kid had caught up with the typical wind of the Emperor Tree!
Everyone was smart and knew the value of this operation.
From then on, everyone no longer only knew Liu Bei's name.
Many people of insight would think:
" Liu Bei might have a bright future ahead of him. He might have a good path to rise up. Being colleagues with him might also have a bright future."
Once the confidence was established.
Colleagues in the officialdom would build a good relationship with you and take the initiative to be polite.
The wealthy merchants would also be more willing to bet and borrow money to invest in your recruitment.
Of course, Liu Bei would definitely rely on Li Tian more and more.
……
Seven days later.
The imperial court's messenger and Li Tian's personal messenger arrived at Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou Province.
Liu Bei, who was currently organizing the local soldiers, heard that the angel was coming and quickly went out to welcome him.
"…I heard that Zhuo County has elected Liu Bei…to honor the court's kindness and the spirit of a righteous man. Let the loyal people forget themselves and overcome the difficulties of the times together…"
After listening to the edict, Liu Bei's entire body trembled. It was as if he had been blown by a cold wind when he peed.
Brother Boya!
He really had the ability to reach the heavens and had an unpredictable opportunity!
I'm just a county magistrate.
Why did His Majesty specifically ask about it?
An amnesty that allowed him to take office without paying the palace repair money?
"Big brother, big brother! Quickly receive the decree! What are you staring at?"
Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was still standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face and couldn't help but nudge him with his elbow.
