Chapter 531: Rise Again
The commander-in-chief of the Bingmasi was of the sixth rank, and the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei was of the fourth rank.
Many ministers may not even be able to get promoted even half a level after working hard for most of their lives, but it is rare for one person in every dynasty to be promoted like Song Ruize.
It was not difficult for Song Ruize to imagine how many people in the court would keep a close eye on him and how many people would be jealous and want to kill him if this appointment and dismissal letter was issued.
But is he afraid of trouble?
He was just afraid that he wouldn't be promoted fast enough.
Jinyiwei has more real power and is much more valuable than the commander-in-chief of Bingmasi. However, he doesn't want to lose this position of Bingmasi.
He didn't want to lose, but he couldn't leave this position to his trusted aides. Fortunately, he had secretly cultivated a few people who would act out their discord with him. It was said that the princess was trying to win them over. He could pretend to lose and let one of his trusted aides take his place.
The prince really spent a lot of money to win him over. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a promotion?
The prince also took this opportunity to tell those who were wavering - follow me and you will have wealth and glory.
Song Ruize said to Zhou Jinyuan, "You have to keep the appointment with the East Palace. You guys get ready, I will take you to visit Jinyiwei in a few days."
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled and said, "The boss has been promoted, so let's get promoted too."
The next day. Qin Huiyin was still in a sweet dream when Zhilan woke her up. She opened her eyes dazedly, looked at Zhilan and said, "What happened again?"
"Mr. Song has been promoted again." Zhilan said, "It is said that he has been promoted to the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei!"
"Jinyiwei..." Qin Huiyin sat up, "It sounds very powerful."
"Fourth rank." Zhilan said, "From sixth rank to fourth rank, the promotion was too fast, and it's spreading everywhere!"
There was no joy on Qin Huiyin's face, but rather a look of worry.
"Is the lady unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy, but I'm a little worried. Since ancient times, people have to bear as much responsibility as they have the ability. The Crown Prince of the East Palace has given Brother Rui Ze such a big benefit. It's impossible that he has no ulterior motive, so the price he has to pay is unimaginable."
"Everyone is lamenting that Mr. Song's rapid promotion is a godsend, but only Miss feels sorry for him and worries about him. No wonder Mr. Song wants to keep Miss in his pocket and never be separated from her."
"Girl, are you teasing me again?" Qin Huiyin laughed. "Although I don't want him to be promoted too quickly, he has been promoted, which is worth celebrating. Send someone to ask if he is free today. Generally speaking, he has just taken office and needs to build good relationships with his new colleagues, so he may not be free tonight. It is better to find out his whereabouts first and then arrange a celebration banquet."
"yes."
Qin Huiyin got up.
She didn't know whether Li Taohua knew the news, so she decided to go find her and talk about it first.
This matter has spread outside, and Li Taohua is not like her who sleeps in, so of course she already knew about it.
When Li Taohua heard that Qin Huiyin wanted Song Ruize to come to their house for dinner as a celebration for him by the whole family, she certainly had no objection.
"He will be our son-in-law in the future, and he will be a member of our family. He will have a seat at all future family dinners."
"I'm just planning this first. If he has any social engagements, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"There will definitely be social engagements, but I guess he will turn them down. On this first day in office, he definitely wants to celebrate with the important people."
"The Imperial Guard is not like the Military Affairs Department. The tasks they have to do there are much more dangerous. Although he is a fourth-rank official in the Imperial Guard, there are many officials with higher positions than him."
"You are in the court, and you have no choice. If you love him more in the future, his heart will not be so cold." Li Taohua held her hand and said, "Love is of course very important for a couple to get along, but love is not always so intense. One day it will return to the daily necessities of life. At this time, the only things that can push you through the rest of your life are tolerance, consideration, trust, and the most important word is responsibility."
"Mother taught me, I will definitely remember it in my heart. But mother, where is Uncle Tang?" Qin Huiyin said, "The Jiang family has been too quiet recently, I am worried. You and Uncle Tang should stay at home as much as possible and don't worry about the disturbance outside."
"Can we hide forever? Now that Ruize has been promoted again and has even clung to the support of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the Jiang family won't dare to act rashly."
When Li Taohua said this, she thought of something and took out a letter from the drawer next to her and handed it to her: "By the way, take a look at this, it's from your eldest brother."
Qin Huiyin took it and opened the letter.
“Why didn’t you demolish it?”
"This is for you. Our copy has been torn down. It only contains daily life. He said that everything is going well at the border and he has already dealt with things over there. However, the border is not stable and there may be a war. They will be leaving soon. However, even if they rush back, it will take more than a month, so they will not be able to make it in time for your wedding."
"My marriage to Brother Ruize has just been finalized. How come Big Brother got the news so quickly?"
"The Song family kid has his own connections and was able to deliver the letter very quickly. I didn't expect that. Anyway, after reading the reply, I think your eldest brother was right."
Qin Huiyin read Tang Yichen's reply. She didn't write much about the war on the border, but a lot of words of advice to her, and said that he would make up his share of the dowry when he came back. At the end of the letter, he seemed particularly worried and asked her to think about it again. If she had any hesitation, she should not rush to marry, so as not to regret it in the future.
"I think he's more like an old nanny, more worried than me." Li Taohua laughed when she saw the letter written by Tang Yichen. "But he really treats you as his own sister, I'm very relieved."
"I'll go back and write back to my brother." Qin Huiyin said.
"He said in his letter that he would be back soon. If you write to him now, he may not be able to receive it."
"Just write it down and try. If it can be delivered, that's great. If it can't be delivered, that's okay." Qin Huiyin said, "Brother and Sister Luwu are in danger at the border."
"Luwu has always been timid, but she has really grown up a lot because she went to the border for you this time. By the way, she also wrote you a letter, but I haven't opened it yet. You can go back to your room and read it slowly! I won't care about the private conversations between you two sisters. She also left a separate letter for Shang Zimo, but that child doesn't live in our house now, so it's not easy to give it to him."
"There's nothing difficult about this. Just arrange for a servant in the mansion to send him to the Imperial Guards. He used to love following Sister Luwu. If he knew that Sister Luwu wrote to him, he would definitely be happy." Qin Huiyin said.
"That boy is also a lovesick person." Li Taohua looked like she had seen through everything. "But your sister only treats him as a younger brother."
