Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 95

Before the banquet was over, someone came from the palace and Zhao Fu gave Adrian Tang a wolf-hair brush.

In ancient times, men were crowned at the age of 20. It was rare for a man to pass the imperial examination before the ceremony. It was even more difficult for a man to pass the imperial examination and be favored by the emperor. Whenever an official held a ceremony to crown an official, Zhao Fu would bestow rewards, but the rewards were different for each official.

However, in the 31 years since Zhao Fu ascended the throne, only six officials have received this honor. Among them, three were the most powerful ministers favored by the emperor, and the other three were of low rank and were all sent out of the capital.

Adrian Tang received a gift personally bestowed by Zhao Fu. He took the pen with both hands and ordered the eunuch who delivered the gift to give some gift money as a gift.

The eunuch pretended to refuse at first, but soon accepted it. He smiled and said, "I congratulate Lord Tang. Lord Tang is young and promising, and has a bright future."
