This opportunity couldn't be better.

In just a few days, the top two positions as courtiers were vacant, and naturally countless people were staring at them. In terms of seniority, if someone goes to the top, the chair under everyone's butt can be moved to the front.

In other words, almost everyone in the DPRK has a chance. Especially for those rookie officials who emerged in the year of Dabi, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since Prime Minister Zhu Zihou was named by the emperor to appoint meritocracy, he could see officials of the third and fourth grades coming and going in his house from time to time.

At most, there are two years left, and he will be honored. At this time, it is the time to make good connections and leave blessings for children and grandchildren. Zhu Zihou did not offend anyone, and he was kind to the guests who came, and only said that the final decision on the election was in the hands of the emperor.

The visitors naturally understood that after Zhu Zihou took the initiative to write a book and beg for bones, he now has very little power in hand.

In the house of Liu Bocheng, the secretary of the ministry, the concierge received a large number of posts from officials of all sizes. In addition to the people who are waiting for vacancies in Beijing, there are also many people who feel that they are qualified enough to be promoted, and they go to his house to ask for a meeting.

Liufu is more lively than the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Even his son-in-law Sun Zhitao has often been invited to drink and feast these days, intending to inquire about the news. Dealing with these interpersonal exchanges, he is like a fish in water.

Stimulated by such a series of good news, the entire Luoyang City was shrouded in jubilation. The unlucky group of officials and nobles a few days ago have been left behind by everyone.

……

Jiashan Fang, Xu's house.

Xu Changrong returned home with a happy face, and the corners of his mouth rose irrepressibly. Yang said to Gao Gao: "Guess what, what did I make up?" ”

It must be a good thing to see him so happy. On this, Gao Gao Yang naturally didn't bother him, pursed his lips and smiled: "How can the concubine understand the affairs of the court?" The husband quickly told his wife not to sell his son. ”

Xu Changrong carefully took out the appointment letter in his arms and said, "Yushitai, serve Yushi." ”

The Imperial Historical Observatory is extremely noble, has the right to hear about things, and supervises hundreds of officials. In major cases, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple jointly supervise and review the trial.

The history of the servant is from the six grades, but there are only six people. Palm correction of Bailiao into the cabinet to accept the edict, know push, play, miscellaneous things. It can be said that although the grade is low, it has the right to enter the court directly, and is qualified to enter the court.

Although Gao Gao Yang did not understand the government and politics, he also knew that the Sangquan County Commander appointed by Xu Changzong that day was a seven-rank official. From the magistrate to the Beijing official, just looking at the grade is only half a level up and it is inconspicuous, but the power between the two is not the same.

Generally speaking, from local officials to Beijing officials, the transfer of the same level is also a high promotion. Not to mention that Xu Changrong entered the Yushitai and stepped into the power center of the imperial court.

For his official position, Gong Shangshu can be said to have worked hard.

HD raised his head and bowed down: "The concubine wishes the lord a high promotion." ”

Xu Changrong laughed and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, full of spirits. "You wait, I'll earn you a fate."

The corners of her mouth raised into a smile, because of the education she had received since childhood, she knew too well what she should do at this time.

"Master, the concubine is going to look for the good things in the storehouse. Find a time to visit Mrs. Gong. ”

Gong Shangshu, as Xu Changrong's teacher, can seek an official position for him, but the two need to avoid suspicion in the court. At this time, lady diplomacy is particularly important.

It is really normal for HD Yang to visit Mrs. Gong. Since Gong Shangshu has the heart to promote Xu Changrong and cultivate his own forces, her wife will also be friendly with Gao Gaoyang.

I took this opportunity to send a heavy gift to express my gratitude, on behalf of Xu Changrong's knowledge and interest, and thank his teacher.

"Hard worker." Xu Changrong said with emotion.

I think back then, thanks to his mother, he asked to marry his cousin.

Gao Lang, Gao Yang's father, was also a stunning figure back then. He has been obsessed with Tu Qiongyu and waited for him for many years, and he does not dislike her for being divorced.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, leaving only Gao Yang a daughter. HD Yang gathers the strengths of his parents, and Zhong Lingyu is both talented and beautiful.

Even if she was raised by her widowed mother alone, the courtesy also broke through the threshold of the Tu family.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu made a quick decision, sent her family from Suzhou to bring a bride price, and wrote a long letter by hand, so that she finally got Tu Qiongyu's approval and married Gao Yang.

With the help of a virtuous person like Gao Gaoyang, Xu Changzong himself was also strong enough to win the favor of Gong Shangshu and withdraw his disciples. This is why he is so energetic today.

"In a few days, it will be my mother's 60th birthday. The concubine wondered if she would take this opportunity to hold a banquet and invite colleagues. H.Y. Young proposed.

"Such a win-win-win plan, thank the husband for the mother's operation." Xu Changzong was overjoyed, this proposal was very good.

He returned to Beijing this time to report on his job and waited, although he always knew that it would not be bad. But before the letter of appointment came down, after all, I still dare not say that I am 100% sure.

Therefore, he was very low-key after returning to Beijing. In addition to going to the Ministry of Officials to report on his work and report, he only went to Gong Shangshu's Mansion once or twice. and his classmates in the same year as the same year, and so on, they just chanted poems against each other and talked about the wind and snow.

He is a vacant official, and he is not qualified to talk about government affairs. There are many schools of thought and political views within the DPRK, and he cannot casually express his political views until he has found a real shortage.

But this is a different story. With a real shortage, he can still enter the imperial history of the court. Celebrating with little fanfare, how did others know that he had been promoted?

Xu Changzong had his political ambitions and ideals, and the only way to achieve them was to grasp greater power. His current path is very solid step by step. So, every step of the way, he needs to condense more people by his side.

Therefore, HD Young's proposal is exactly what he wants.

HD Yang smiled gently, and with the improvement of his career status, the concubines in the family were indispensable. However, only she is the woman who can stand side by side with him.

She knew what to do to help her. There are many things that he doesn't need to think about, she has already thought of the future.

"Since the lord thinks it's good, write a list of guests to be invited. I took it and went to discuss it with Wen Min's daughter-in-law. ”

Although they are elders, they are second rooms. In the Xu family, the long house is in charge, and after the Zhu granddaughter-in-law married in, Mrs. Xu handed over the matter of presiding over the feed to her and let her take care of the housework.

Mrs. Xu's 60th birthday was celebrated by Xu Wenmin, and it was Zhu who personally managed it.

……

Xu Wanzhen handed over the post and asked to see her, and waited for Empress Dowager Xiao's permission before she entered the palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao was very fond of her and allowed her the privilege of entering the palace at any time. But how could Xu Wan really be so ignorant?

The queen mother rewarded her with a gift, and if she ignored the palace rules with her favor, she would cause trouble for herself. She has long passed the age of vanity, and she doesn't plan to rely on the queen mother's power to show off her might, so it is better to follow the process honestly.
