The main entrance of Gan Mansion.
Below the altar table, Gan Yu and his wives, children, and servants knelt on the ground.
In front, a stretch of auspicious clouds descended, with an angel slowly unfolding an imperial decree and reading aloud:
“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Son of Heaven decrees: Jinshi Gan Yu, loyal to His Majesty’s cause and a model of teaching in a region, is hereby granted the Eighth Rank Supreme Court North Dipper Secret Papyrus and appointed as the loyal and brave School Captain of Black Stone County in Panlong Prefecture, of the Eighth Rank. Let it be respected!”
The angel finished reading the decree and said in a high-pitched voice, “Lord Gan, receive the decree!”
Gan Yu wore a mixed expression, part smile and part tears, feeling some resistance inside.
But as someone who had already been ‘bestowed with a talisman’, in the face of the imperial decree and angel that represented the emperor’s authority, he had no chance to resist and could only bow his head: “Your servant Gan Yu, accepts the decree with thanks.”
Even if the court were to gift him a cup of poisoned wine causing him death, Gan Yu would still have to do the same.
And with this kowtow, a Taoist Record suddenly burst forth with brilliance, floating down and replacing the original Taoist Record within Gan Yu’s body.
Gan Yu stood up, with one thought in his heart: “Who wants to harm me?!”
If it were any other county, such a promotion straight from the Ninth Rank to the proper Eighth Rank, instantly raising a rank and two levels, he would need to bow and scrape to the person facilitating his promotion.
Although in officialdom people normally speak of making progress step by step, they look down upon those ‘fortunate villains’ who take the elevator, facing a lot of resistance.
Yet, he did not aspire to hold a top-ranked position and be recorded in the annals of history.
Only those scholars with ambitions to become famous and powerful officials would care about this kind of evaluation, making progress step by step, striving for a solid foundation and a wide network of supporters.
But it was very unlikely for Gan Yu to ever reach the Fifth Rank in his life; a promotion was a good thing!
Being selected for an official position and obtaining a Godhood Position was already enough to make one overwhelmingly grateful.
As for consecutive rank promotions? That was an even greater blessing… After all, it’s difficult to enhance one’s Divine Rank, each rank representing a vast gap in power.
And gaps in power correspond to gaps in status and treatment!
