Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 84
This fragrance restaurant is not a top-notch restaurant, and people of all kinds usually come here, because although the taste here is not top-notch, it is not bad, and the price is cheap.

So it has been bustling with people.

Chen Yi came to this world not long ago.

But I also heard Cao Bo mention this restaurant several times, so I was naturally impressed.

At this time, in the hall on the first floor, since a middle-aged man was sitting on the stage, Chen Yi knew that it was a storyteller when he saw this posture, and immediately became interested.

The chief assistant of the cabinet and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry naturally listened attentively.

The storyteller was talking about nothing else but Chen Yi's escort of food and grass this time.

Now when it comes to Chen Yi's arrival in Daoxiang City, how he dealt with those big grain merchants, and finally obtained the grain and grass, the people in the lobby kept applauding.

Chen Yi was a little surprised that this matter spread within a few days after he came back.

And basically, it's almost the same. Although the details don't match, the general events are the same.

The chief minister of the cabinet looked at Chen Yi with a smile: "Is what this storyteller is telling the truth? I didn't expect you to be so witty and able to come up with this trick to solve the food and grass in the customs here. You are awesome!"

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's not as exaggerated and ups and downs as he said, and I can't stand the praise of adults."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry disagreed, and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder directly.

"Don't be so polite, don't we know your ability? Thinking about it, it's really the most suitable for you to entrust this matter to you. Otherwise, we don't know what the frontier soldiers are facing now!"

Chen Yi was indeed not humble just now, and the matter was resolved easily. It was indeed not as ups and downs and crises as the storyteller said, but seeing the chief minister of the cabinet, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the people around him believed it.

He could only helplessly smile.

Chen Yi asked his question: "I don't know why this matter spread so fast. I have only been back for a few days. It doesn't seem like I just started talking about it today."

The chief minister of the cabinet nodded. After all, the chief minister of the cabinet is the chief minister of the cabinet, and the news is still very well informed.

So he lowered his voice and whispered: "This matter still came from the palace. As for the purpose, you can understand the focus of this storytelling."

Chen Yi listened intently for a moment, a flash of understanding flashed across his face.

He just said, how could someone focus on publicizing his deeds, and it spread so fast, it turned out that it was the concubine who played the role.

The purpose is very obvious, it is to promote the reputation of the Zhang family.

Chen Yi knew that when he left, the reputation of the Xu family had reached its peak. Although the Zhang family also donated, it was not justified and there was no explanation, so it naturally fell behind.

It is estimated that seeing the rapid development of the Xu family, he was very jealous, and he might send a letter to the imperial capital after he left.

Before I came back, I didn't spread the news to the outside world. I'm afraid it was because of myself. After Chen Yigang entered the palace to ask the Zhang family for an order, the concubine naturally publicized the matter.

Chen Yi understood the reason, and then realized that he was just the one that happened by the way.

Didn't take this matter to heart.

Just at this time, their dishes also came, and the three chatted while eating.

Talking and talking, just say what you don't know. At the Suihan meeting, Chen Yi didn't know much about it, so naturally he didn't say anything.Listening silently, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of Industry discussed.

It was only then that Chen Yi realized that the Suihan Gathering turned out to be a national holiday. To put it bluntly, it was second only to the National Day. Why did you say that? Because of the three days of the Suihan Gathering.

Their court officials actually gave them three days of leave, and it was a real legal holiday.

It was just to allow these literati to fully display their talents, and all the adults who entered the court had to go through nationwide selection.

So, except for one or two famous Confucian scholars, most of the talents are above the court, so how could the Empress not have a holiday?

This can be regarded as a disguised form to show their talents to the civil and military officials.

Maybe a certain official will give your Majesty the upper hand, and your Majesty will treat him differently, and then he will be promoted to a higher position.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not uncommon, just like the servant of the household department today, who was just a small Zhongshu Ling back then, and was transferred to the household department because his majesty appreciated the Suihan gathering.

Now, step by step, he has taken up the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

Chen Yi also understood at this time, although this opportunity is not just about reciting poems and fighting against each other, there are also other items such as political comments, techniques and so on.

Especially in the category of techniques, some craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry basically stand out from here.

In addition, there is also the Imperial Dining Room. It can be said that every year the Imperial Dining Room will be selected from this year's cold gathering, and talented fresh blood will be included in the palace.

It was only at this time that Chen Yi really realized the value of the Suihan Gathering.

"There are so many talents at the Suihan Gathering, are you not afraid that spies or people with evil intentions will be mixed in?"

Chen Yi asked the doubts in his heart, the chief minister of the cabinet was silent for a moment, then he laughed, raised his finger and pointed at Chen Yi.His eyes were full of admiration.

"I have to say that Chen Shilang really thinks comprehensively and can think of things that other people can't."

Chen Yi didn't understand why the chief minister of the cabinet praised him. Could it be that something happened, so he had a listening look on his face.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry smiled and took over the conversation.

"At the beginning, everyone really didn't think about this. It wasn't until the third session that something happened, but the person didn't make a fuss and was caught in time."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry put down the chopsticks in his hand after saying this: "So later, all folks who want to participate must be guaranteed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there must be more than three."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry sighed at this point, and the chief minister of the cabinet also said with emotion: "That's why there is such chaos in the court today."

After hearing these words of the two, Chen Yi immediately reacted.

He just said, why is it so lively? It turns out that the various forces select the talents they mainly promote. At the beginning, the guarantee may be just a simple identity guarantee, but it has been so many years now.

It has obviously lost its original purpose and has been mixed with political overtones.

Chen Yi had originally expressed a little interest in the Suihan Gathering, but now he felt it was boring again.

Seeing Chen Yi's strange expression, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet asked: "Why, Chen Shilang is not interested in this Suihan gathering?"

Chen Yi nodded honestly: "I was a little interested at first, but later I felt that it was actually the same. Is there any other difference?"
