Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

The person who was arranged by the Wang family to serve as the best man today was naturally very discerning. When he saw the angel announcing the imperial edict leave, everyone on the scene seemed to be shocked by the three imperial edicts just now, and they shouted that the wedding was over.

"Congratulations to the newlyweds for receiving the blessings of the heavenly family. May the two newlyweds live in harmony and grow old together. The ceremony is complete! Send them to the bridal chamber!"

With the best man's singing, the scene became lively again from the silence just now. The bride arranged by the Wang family came forward, supported the bride, and walked towards the backyard.

After all, today is the wedding of Wang Xinkuan and the granddaughter of Duke Wei. Just now, the newlyweds were still present and everyone remained restrained. When the bride entered the backyard, all the guests and friends in the room flocked to Mr. Cai and Wang Xinkuan to congratulate them.

Originally, Wang Xinkuan was only 27 years old, but he was promoted again just half a year after his promotion. Everyone felt that there was some kind of wind direction behind this.

However, Cai Zhengqing, who had been retired for many years, was promoted to the position of Prince Grand Tutor without any warning, which undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the court.

Although the Prince's Grand Tutor is an important official in the court, a high-ranking honorary title of the first rank that everyone covets, on the surface, the status is respected, but in fact there is no real power. It is just an empty title used by the emperor to win over the hearts of the people and commend the officials with noble character and high position.

But today, Cai Zhengqing was suddenly promoted to the position of Prince Grand Tutor, which revealed many strange things.

Although this dynasty did not award these high-level honorary titles to many important officials like the previous dynasties, there were cases where they were awarded. However, most of these were awarded posthumously. Looking at the history of this dynasty, Cai Zhengqing was the only person who was awarded the title of Prince Grand Tutor while he was still alive. Moreover, Cai Zhengqing's position before retirement was only the fourth-rank chief academic officer of the Imperial College. Despite his profound knowledge, this was a bit too unusual no matter how you looked at it.

The title of the Prince's Grand Tutor is preceded by the prefix "Prince". Although throughout history, there were not many Prince's Grand Tutors who actually taught the prince, but this Prince's Grand Tutor was indeed the prince's nominal teacher.

But Your Majesty has not officially appointed a crown prince yet, but now Your Majesty has granted Cai Zhengqing the title of Crown Prince Grand Tutor. Does that mean that Your Majesty already has a candidate in mind for the crown prince, and will soon officially appoint him as the crown prince?

This made the people around the princes present suddenly think about it, but Cai Zhengqing had retired for many years and stayed away from the court, and it seemed that he had no contact with the princes. If Your Majesty really wanted Cai Zhengqing to use his virtue to tutor the prince, then Cai Zhengqing's right to speak in front of Your Majesty would be very important.

The quick-thinking people present connected the two, Master Cai and Wang Xinkuan, who were both promoted by His Majesty at the same time. Thinking of Zhu Yuchun, who had been promoted to the third-rank official last year, it was unlikely that there was no special arrangement by His Majesty.

Amid the noise, the concierge began to guide the guests to their seats. Mr. Cai, Wang Xinkuan's mentor, had just been promoted to the position of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, making him the highest-ranking official present. Wang Xinkuan's father and grandfather personally stepped forward and led Mr. Cai to the main table.

Ye Changyan, Liang Jingcheng, Zhu Yuchun, Zhao Mubai and Ji Yunting, Wang Xinkuan's fellow disciples, were arranged to sit at the table closest to the main table.

Ye Xiaozheng was arranged to sit at the same table with Xiao Yankai, while Zhong Yunfeng, Wulang and Xing Wang were arranged to sit at the table where Xiao Jingxing was.

Lian and Erniu, mother and daughter, sat in the backyard with Zhu Yuchun's wife Ma and others, at a table specially prepared for the female members of the family.

Ye Changyan admired in his heart that the Wang family had made very careful arrangements, and that they must have put a lot of effort into it.

After the meal started, people around kept looking towards the main table where Mr. Cai was sitting.

After the banquet, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, who had originally planned to stay and make a fuss in the bridal chamber, saw that Mr. Cai was surrounded by people and were overwhelmed for a moment. After a brief discussion with Zhu Yuchun and other senior brothers, Zhu Yuchun, Zhao Mubai and Ji Yunting politely sent away the onlookers on the grounds that the master was old and had little energy.

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng supported Mr. Cai and left the Wang family under the gaze of everyone.

At the same time, several princes also received the news that Cai Zhengqing was specially promoted to the position of Prince Grand Tutor. Yesterday they received a rumor that their father had already reached an agreement with the Empress Dowager to promote Wang Xinkuan to the position of Xuyang Prefecture.

At that time, several princes felt that the news was a little too shocking. Wang Xinkuan was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank of Xuyang Prefecture's co-magistrate half a year ago. Not long after that, he was promoted to the fourth rank of Xuyang Prefecture's prefect. This speed of promotion was really hard to believe.

But when they received the exact news that Wang Xinkuan was promoted to the prefect of Xuyang Prefecture, although the princes felt a little surprised, at least they were mentally prepared.

But when the person who reported the news said that their father had specially promoted Cai Zhengqing to the position of Prince Grand Tutor, the three princes all asked again and again with an expression of disbelief on their faces. After confirming the news, the three princes all sensitively sensed that there was a certain direction behind these two things.

For a moment, the three princes hurriedly summoned their staff to urgently discuss the purpose of His Majesty's arrangement.

When the fourth prince Li Jingping learned that Wang Xinkuan was promoted and that Mr. Cai was specially promoted to the position of Prince Grand Tutor, he was stunned and for a moment he could not understand the purpose of his father's arrangement.

Especially Cai Zhengqing, who had retired for many years and stayed away from the court. During the New Year, he stayed overnight in Cai's house. Cai Zhengqing gave him the impression of being a kind and idle old man who was a little greedy and fond of drinking, but very kind to his disciples.

After the New Year, Li Jingping went to Shiguxiang twice again. A few days ago, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng sent him an invitation to Wang Xinkuan's wedding and asked him to go for a spring outing after Wang Xinkuan's wedding. Although he and Ye Changyan had become close as master and disciple, there would certainly be many high-ranking officials and nobles attending Wang Xinkuan's wedding, and it was inevitable that some of them would know him.

Li Jingping declined the invitation on the grounds that he happened to have to go out for something, but he prepared a congratulatory gift and asked Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng to pass it on to Wang Xinkuan.

The King of England also received the news soon, but before that, the news brought back by the people he sent out contained sufficient evidence pointing to Liang Jingcheng as the orphan of King Cheng and his cousin Liang Liru, and Liang Jingcheng's life experience was what His Majesty had intentionally concealed.

Cai Zhengqing and his wife were entrusted by His Majesty and the Queen Mother to take in Liang Jingcheng and raise him. Now that several princes are vying openly and secretly for the position of Crown Prince, His Majesty suddenly promoted Cai Zhengqing, who had retired for many years, to the position of Crown Prince's Grand Tutor. What is the deep meaning behind this?
