"Nope." Li Longji refused without hesitation. What a joke. Brother Yi will know who I am when he attends the court meeting.
"But Li Yi has made a lot of good things for the people this year. Others are allowed to attend the court meeting except for Li Yi. This … …"
Yao Chong said that other than the fifth rank officials attending the court meeting, there were also some people who received special awards who could stand outside and feel the Emperor's grace.
If others came but not Li Yi, was it a signal to the outside world that the court did not like Li Yi? His Majesty did not like him either.
"I will reward him alone. I will give him a rank of Secondary class seven … … Secondary class five official. Minister Yao, you can give him a civil service position."
Li Longji had his ways. If he did not let him in, he would give him a civil service position. A civil service position had no power, but he could get a salary.
If he gave a civil service position of Secondary class five official, even if it was a Primary class six official, he would have to salute first before speaking.
It was just like some of the conferred 'madams'. The madam was a Secondary class six official, while the county magistrate was a Secondary class seven official.
If a Secondary class six madam broke the law, the county magistrate would have to ask for instructions from the state government. He could not use torture. If the madam did not cooperate, he could not arrest her.
Of course, during the curfew in Chang 'an, the county magistrate would be on patrol. If he found someone doing something sneaky, no matter what your rank was, as long as you were not a special existence, he could kill you.
Yao Chong regretted. If he had known, he would not have asked. Secondary class five official? A civil service position was still an official. He had real power. If Li Yi wanted to punish someone, would he still need a civil service position?
"Prime Minister Yao, do you feel that your rank is too low?" Empress Wang was not happy. Giving a civil service position of Secondary class five official, was Yao Chong not happy?
"I know. All the rewards will be sent to Li Yi's manor." Yao Chong admitted.
A civil service position required clothes, four treasures of the study, a seal, a document, and a salary certificate. Of course, a Secondary class five official did not need to collect them himself.
A Secondary Class Level Five official was also a Level Five official. It was so close to Chang 'an City. If Li Yi wanted, he could attend the Imperial Court Meetings on the first and fifteenth day of the month.
It was the Wangshuo Dynasty. Wangshuo was the fifteenth day of the month, and the moon was very round. Shuo was the first day of the month, and the moon could not be seen.
If they were to sing about the new moon on the horizon, it would be pure nonsense. There was no such thing.
The moon on the fifteenth was in the middle of the night on the twelfth.
Those that came out earlier were called First Quarter Moon, and those that came out later were called Last Quarter Moon.
It was not important whether the moon was round or not. Li Yi now had the rank of Secondary class, rank five official. All he had to do was report in advance and he would be able to participate in the court assembly.
The Emperor was standing several hundred meters away, in a position that could not be seen without binoculars.
When other people spoke, he would listen. When the Emperor spoke, there would be someone to pass on the message, so he would know what to say. When the ministers spoke, for example, Yao Chong, he could not hear them.
Once the Imperial Court Meetings started and Li Yi's application was approved, he could come over for a meal. It would be glorious if the Emperor treated him to a meal. The Emperor treated him to a meal with cucumbers in winter.
Li Longji obviously knew that Brother Yi would not attend the Imperial Court Meetings. As for food, where else could compare to Zhuangzi's canteen?
Perhaps there were other Level Five officials with no real power who would attend just to eat cucumbers and stand in the cold wind.
Brother Yi would definitely not do such a thing.
Then he was relieved. They would not meet, and he would be given benefits.
Yao Chong was also aware of this, but he could not stop himself from saying that he would reward Yi Tianyun.
Was it too much to reward him with a Secondary Class Level Five official?
It depended on who it was. There was nothing wrong with giving it to Li Yi.
Yao Chong admitted that he also felt a sense of dependence on Zhuangzi. No matter how serious the problem was, as long as he thought of Zhuangzi, he would be able to pull himself together and solve it.
This was because the more there was a last line of defense, the more it could stimulate a person's adventurous spirit.
Even if he did something wrong, he could still go to Zhuangzi to ask.
He would never be lonely or afraid, because there was a place with someone who could solve any problem at any time.
To give such a person a Level Five official, touching his conscience, was it okay?
So Yao Chong left and went back to make arrangements. He could not do it himself tomorrow morning. He had to ask others to do it, and he would support from the side.
"I don't know what Uncle is doing. Uncle said that a child has pneumonia, the same as Zhuya Jinshan, but more serious. He is only eight months old, so he must be cured!"
Without Yao Chong, Empress Wang returned to her lively nature.
She began to worry about a baby she had never seen before. She also had one in her stomach.
She had always liked children, other people's children, but she did not have one.
Now that she had one, she liked it even more.
"Since he has been sent to Brother Yi and is still alive, he should be fine."
Li Longji comforted his wife. This child was the future Crown Prince, so they had to be careful.
He did not want to admit that the Empress he appointed was not good. When the child was born, he would let others see. It was not that the Empress was not virtuous, but that she had not met the Kaiyuan era.
Li Longji wanted to kill the Imperial Physician, but he could not. The Imperial Physician had fought with his life. No, he did not have the ability to.
Li Yi, who was being remembered, was playing the cello at this time.
The craftsmen in Zhuangzi had made many musical instruments, but the piano had not been made yet.
The violin and cello had been made, but the bass cello could not be made. The bass cello had too high requirements for the strings and the resonance box.
The bass cello was not played, it was played with the fingers.
The bass cello was the predecessor of the electric bass.
Now there was a cello, but Li Yi was not very familiar with it. It was much more comfortable to change to the violin.
The violin had a wide range of sound, but it was not suitable for the baby's current situation. The sound quality was not deep enough.
Li Yi was singing a lullaby to coax the baby to sleep.
The little guy woke up again and continued to eat. After drinking milk, his body temperature rose. He did not sleep even when he was injected. He coughed and sucked phlegm, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open.
Occasionally, he would turn his head to look at the others. No one knew what he was thinking.
Li Yi wanted him to sleep. The child's metabolism was the fastest when he was sleeping.
So he took the cello and played it while singing, "Moon ~ er ~ bright ~ wind ~ quiet ~ tree ~ leaf ~ shade ~ window ~ ling ~ ah ~ cricket ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~ chirp ~
Li Yi sang with difficulty. He did not change his voice now, but he could.
So under normal circumstances, his voice was clear and crisp, giving people a cute and tender feeling.
If it was in the past, oral resonance was enough.
Now, he had to relax and use his chest to resonate. His stomach exerted strength, which was also called Dantian Qi support.
The more relaxed he was, the wider the vibration of his vocal cords.
In theory, all the high notes could be sung by controlling the vibration of a small part of the vocal cords, but the low notes could not go down.
Li Yi persevered. His voice was deep and natural, but in reality, it was very strenuous.
The eunuchs and palace maids listened and watched at the side, their eyes full of stars.
They wanted to ask if he wanted the accompaniment of the flute and huqin. They knew how to.
The little guy tried hard to turn his head and even turned his body sideways, staring at Li Yi who was singing. His saliva flowed out and he made ah ah sounds, as if he was singing too.
Li Yi was convinced. You're not sleeping? I'm sleepy.
You're sick, why are you so energetic?
He moved the cello to the side and changed to the violin. He looked at the little guy.
He chose a minor tune that also did not have the word 'Fa' or 'Xi' to sing, "I've never forgotten ~ to remember ~ you in the sunset ~ stepping on the green grass ~ ~ the setting sun in my heart ~ ~ always a little sad ~ ~ not having you in my dreams …"
This was ethereal. The violin was played very high. Li Yi used his childish voice to sing overtones.
This was the kind of feeling that belonged to church music. It was mainly expressed in the Renaissance era. Every mass was ethereal.
The palace maids and eunuchs were drunk. There was actually such a beautiful song.
The little guy was singing, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah! Gu, wu lu wu lu ".
"Hehehehe!" Li Yi laughed. He really did not know what to do with him.
"Hehehehe …" The little guy was also laughing. Even though he was still running a fever, he looked very happy.
The palace maids and eunuchs' eyes were red. This scene was too beautiful. A divine doctor Dongzhu and a sick baby were gradually getting closer to each other, heart to heart.
