"Ancestors are here?"

After hearing the news, the county magistrate Xu Hui and others showed unexpected expressions, and Yu Zuna's arrival was a bit surprised.

Although the Zhongzheng official is also a county official, he is very special. He is one of the few official positions that are not subject to rank constraints. Because he holds the right to evaluate the qualities that are crucial to local gentry, he can be said to be a person who determines the fate of scholars.

Since the gentry was mastered, the places that were full of the influence of the gentry naturally did not dare to do anything to Zheng Zheng. Even the county magistrates would respect him three points.

Not to mention the special envoy's trial, even if Zhuge Yan was attacked before, the civil and military officials in the city were afraid of being implicated and were in a panic. However, Zuna, the chief of the county, was only asking about it. Relatively speaking, he had to be much more calm.

Zhongzheng is another system independent of local officials.

As a result, during this trial, Zu Zhongzheng showed up.

"He also heard the rumors and came to express his concern?"

Just as Xu Hui and others were speculating, Zuna, with big sleeves floating in the hall.

His whole person is elegant, and when he comes, he adds a touch of vitality to the solemn hall.

Zuna was not polite, looked around at everyone, bowed and said, "Everyone, I have disturbed the trial of the court in the hall, I hope to forgive the crime. But I am anxious to believe it, and I cannot delay it. Otherwise, the higher authorities will blame you and you will not be able to afford it." At the end, he bowed his hands from afar.

This action made many people feel moved and then became confused.

What kind of urgent letter can make Zu Zhongzheng come here at this time?

When he came, he did not want to sit aside and listened to the trial. He still stood in the hall, followed by two servants, and Chen Qian was among them. He was smiling and nodding at Chen Zhi. The man's eyes were even more shining, revealing his joy.

However, only Chen Zhi noticed this detail, and the others' attention was focused on Zuna.

As everyone's attention shifted, the atmosphere and focus of the hall changed. Yu Liang had suddenly interrupted, turned black and white, took the initiative, and was about to make some statements to lay the foundation for the general situation, but unexpectedly Zuna suddenly came over, which made the atmosphere he had finally created signs of collapse.

How could he allow such a thing to happen?

Originally, this is a matter of turning black and white, referring to a deer as a horse, which is a risky move, and all he wants is a concerted effort, so he said, "Ancestors will be judged today. When I will explain it clearly, you will talk about your affairs, this time..."

"I'm really sorry, I can't wait for this matter."

Zuna did not give Yu Liang any face. She smiled slightly and came to Chen Zhi, pulled out a thin book from her sleeve, and slowly opened it.

Yu Liang's face suddenly became gloomy. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Zuna, and said coldly: "Zu Zhongzheng, I am the main task of the court. You come here for no reason. If it is because of a certain person, it affects the progress of the case, then you can only ask that person to go out." There is no doubt that he saw that Zuna was related to Chen Zhi.

After saying that, Yu Liang sat down again, with a arrogant look on his face, brewing reprimand words.

Zuna looked back at him and smiled faintly, "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, don't say it so absolutely..." At this point, he coughed lightly, stood up straight, and then said seriously, "Transfer to the emperor!"

"Forehead!"

The crowd of people in the hall was stunned at first, and then their expressions changed suddenly.

Yu Liang, who had just sat down and looked arrogant, widened his eyes and could not maintain the expression on his face.

Even Xu Hui and others were confused on their faces, then quickly stood up and took a look of lowering their heads and listening, but they were confused in their hearts.

How could you hear the emperor's oral orders just by doing it?

Not to mention them, even Zhang Ruo frowned, thinking that things were not simple, he was very curious about what the content of this sudden sage edict was and why Zuna said it.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruo's eyes fell on Chen Zhi.

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, his mouth suddenly squirmed, and he stood up and stood up.

Zuna had already spread the thin book open, looked at Yu Liang with a solemn expression, and said lightly: "What? Is the Imperial Censor Yu going to listen to the emperor's oral order like this?"

Yu Liang was stunned, his face extremely embarrassed, but he had to stand up. The momentum he had worked hard to create was immediately broken, and he felt even more aggrieved.

Zuna withdrew her gaze, held the book and said to Chen Zhi, "I heard that there is a famous scholar in Pengcheng, named Chen Zhi. The text he wrote was deeply rooted in my opinion. He also heard that this person has not yet established a title. If such a talent is not of a title, wouldn't it be a legacy pearl? Now I am the master of the title, and I will treat it with the above title!"

These words were used in a narrative tone and narrated the emperor's words.

After saying that, the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Whether it was Xu Hui, Yang Yong and other local officials, or Zhuge Jing and other guards, the servants, they all looked surprised and looked at Chen Zhi blankly, and the thoughts in their minds could not be changed for a long time.

It took a while before they realized what was going on.

"Is the Holy Order actually given to Chen Zhi?"

"How did Chen Zhi's name reach today's ears?"

"This is not an important matter. The real key is the content of the sacred edict. Have you not heard it? This is a matter of determination..."

Premium quality!

"Family...the best quality in the countryside?"

Xu Hui murmured, full of disbelief.

A certain product is the best.

This kind of thing is not without top families, with deep backgrounds, or talented outstanding people, there are certainly top-notch ones, but what kind of people are they? Not to mention family background, at least they have to live around the capital to be famous in the capital, and get the moon first near the water and towers, thus gaining the advantage.

But where is Chen Zhi?

It is from a local family in a county in the north.

Such an identity was more than ten or twenty years ago, even if he entered the court, he would be discriminated against as an official. Even though he had improved in recent years, there were still many customary rules and discriminations. Compared with his peers, the best thing was the eighth rank of fixed rank.

Starting from a low-quality product, working hard to upgrade, this is the norm for the Pengcheng family.

One is the lowest and the other is the best, what a huge gap!

What's more, it was clearly the emperor's words and describing them personally, so the question arises.

How did Chen Zhi’s reputation spread to the capital?

Xu Hui and others couldn't figure out this question, but Zuna had speculation, but he was also sighing. He sent the article "Talk of the Master" to stabilize Chen Zhi's fifth-grade evaluation, but he never expected that such a result would be.

"Chen Zhi, I am here to congratulate you. You have appointed the third grade of the hometown and reached the top grade!" As he said that, he handed over the thin booklet, which contained Chen Zhi's letter of the title and the words of the final grade, but it was no longer necessary for him, the county chief, to make a decision.

Chen Zhi took the product and was a little surprised. He didn't expect this customized product.

"Custom third grade?"

Looking at the last few sentences of the book book and savoring the word "three ranks", Chen Zhi's emotions fluctuated.

In a society that pursues the ninth-grade system, grade represents social status and privilege. For example, just now, Yu Liang saw that the situation was not good, so he directly talked about grade and wanted to openly snatch Chen Zhi's credit, relying on his top-grade identity!

This identity refers to the hometown product.

Now, just one sentence, Chen Zhi has even received a top-quality evaluation!

"How is this possible!" Yu Liang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stared at the thin book, "How can Chen Zhi, a descendant of a local tribe, be appointed by the emperor as the third rank? This makes no sense!"

"Why can't it be? There are wise men in the mountains and fields. If you have experienced Chen Zhizhi's ability in person, you can't be considered a talent?" Zhang Ruo was surprised, but he said lightly, "If you don't say it far away, it's just that the ancestor Lieutenant invited Chen Hou to visit Wu Hou. These two were not famous at that time. If you said it, these two would not come out at all! Let's talk about the descendants of the lake and sea, why did Chen Yuanlong's blood branch come into your mouth, and they are small clans? You might as well think of yourself too high."

Yu Liang was choked by these words and felt uncomfortable, gasping for disorder, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"I can't retreat. Once I retreat, the change of power will not only become a stepping stone to his reputation. The key is that I can't lose my own position. Think about it carefully, even if Chen Zhi becomes a top-ranking person, he will only assist in this case. As long as I can grasp the situation, I can still get credit for it..."

Thinking of this, Yu Liang looked at Chen Zhi and planned how to speak again and recreate the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, before he could move, the atmosphere in the hall changed again.

"Third rank! Third rank!" Suddenly, the county magistrate Yang Yong came to his senses and came to congratulate Chen Zhi regardless of the order of trial. "Congratulations to the nephew, you must be promoted to the third rank. This is the celebration of the whole county in Pengcheng!" His face was particularly rosy.

As a county magistrate, a top-ranked person was born under his rule. This is not considered the merit of education, so what can it be considered?

It can be said that Chen Zhi's fixed product directly saved Yang Yong from half a year of hard work in government. In the face of such real profits, the slightest quarrels of the past are not worth mentioning.

"That's right, Shouyi, you are so successful that you are worthy of being a famous scholar in Pengcheng that I personally decided on!" The second reaction was to return the county magistrate Xu Hui. After this incident, he did not have to worry about the enrollment of the imperial edict at all. "This matter will be a grand ceremony for three days, and a banquet will be held to celebrate!"

Other officials of all sizes, together with Su Jun, woke up from a dream. They knew how much sensation it would cause once the news spread. They all came up to greet Chen Zhi, and they burst into tears. They didn't look like a trial.

Yu Liang, who was interested in speaking, was upset and couldn't help but say, "I'm still in court at this time. You can retreat as soon as possible!"

Unfortunately, everyone is in high spirits and is driven by interests, so they are unwilling to fall behind, so naturally no one pays attention to him.

"Everyone, everyone..." Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm leaving this in advance, and I'm still in court to examine it. How can I abolish the public for personal gain?"

"It's reasonable to say it, and it's reasonable to say it!"

"I am worthy of being a top-notch person."

"We're a little lost."

When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed and returned to their positions. They made Yu Liang, who said similar words, feel surprised, and then his expression became more and more unpleasant. I am also the best, why no one listened to my words? This is too snobbish!
