Unexpectedly, as soon as the Taoist saw his face, he had already recognized his identity, exclaimed that the noble man had arrived, and hurriedly greeted him with courtesy, which made Liu Sili suspicious. The Taoist didn't ask him about his birthday, but just touched his bones, and then told him with certainty that he was rich and noble in this life, and not to mention it, there was a great joy in the near future: he would be promoted to the history of the Jijun Thorn.

Liu Beijia listened, and the idea that he had already been a little convinced of this person faded again, but he was a swaggering and deceitful magic stick, and he didn't even pay the hexagram money, so he laughed and left.

It turns out that although Beijia is an adjutant of assassination, he is only one step away from the history of assassination, but from being an adjutant to being a chief official is an extremely difficult hurdle to climb in the officialdom.

He has been driving for many years, and his qualifications are long enough, but he is still a cut away from the history of the assassin, not to mention that Lin Xiwei, the assassin of Benzhou, not only has not yet completed his term, but also has a very tough backstage, he is the disciple of Tian Chengqian, the Marquis of Weiyang, and the history of several assassins in this county is a person from the Marquis of Weiyang, what does he Liu Sili use to touch such a hard stone with others?

No one knows what Liu Beijia calculated today, and he doesn't know what Zhang Shenxian calculated for him. Liu Beijia would not be stupid enough to let Lord Thorn Shi know that he coveted his position; Immortal Zhang wouldn't be stupid enough to let Lord Thorn Shi know that he predicted that he would roll up and get out.

The person waiting for the fortune teller outside Zhang Daoren's residence only saw Liu Beijia laughing out loud, his face full of disdain, and the door was wide open, but Zhang Daoren sat behind the desk, twisting his beard and smiling, not annoyed. aroused everyone's curiosity, and they speculated for several days. So that no one talked about it anymore.

……

In Lin'an City, Yao'er has taken office and become a Tianguan Langzhong.

Yao'er has been in office since he went to the Tianguan Mansion. Lord Shangshu really arranged for him to deal with the election of officials in southern Xinjiang. Many officials in southern Xinjiang are now waiting to be reinforced, and they need to be replaced in a timely manner, because the road is far away, and even if the arrangements are made right here, all the new officials will almost get the beginning of next year, so the task is very urgent.

Yao'er was burying herself in sorting out the dossier, picked up a copy and looked at it. Suddenly, I was stunned, this official document was not the resume file of the candidate official in Southern Xinjiang, but the Jijun Thorn Shi Lin Xiwei was suddenly seriously ill and could not be a director. Report requesting resignation and returning to his hometown to recuperate.

Yao'er was suspicious: "This official letter, is it wrong?" ”

Since Yao'er took office, there has been an endless stream of stuffed slips, sent greetings, and handed codexes.

Some were sent to his house, and some were sent to the yamen. Most of the people sent home are peers or subordinates. Those who ask him for help will naturally have to have a generous gift to accompany them, but fortunately, such people do not have much appetite, and the official positions they ask for are not high.

The people who handed the codex to the yamen were naturally high-ranking people, and they felt that they could calm Yao'er, and let him do things for himself was the one who gave him face. Such as Jiang Dexu, Tian Sansi and the like, these people's codex was handed over. Yao'er naturally has no reason to refuse.

The subordinate officials and officials in Tianguan Lang have screened the resumes of a large number of officials and candidates for loose officials, and Yao'er has made a list according to the list of documents according to the codex of the courtesy, and asked the officials to take the lead in extracting the resumes of these officials on the list, and the qualifications of these people alone have piled up his official cases.

In the past few days, Yao'er has dealt with all the resumes of candidate officials, and has never involved anything else, and now that such an official letter has appeared rashly, it naturally makes him full of doubts. Yao'er opened her mouth and called: "Li Lingshi! ”

Ling Shi Li Zhenghu is a thin literati in his forties, hearing Lang Zhong's call, he hurriedly put down the brush, greeted him with a goatee, and arched his hand: "Lang Zhong! ”

Yao'er handed over the official document and said, "Lao Li, look at it, this official document was handed by mistake, right?" ”

Li Zhenghu took the official document, hurriedly skimmed through it, and grinned: "It was brought in, hehe, but it's not a mistake!" Although you are now in charge of the election of officials in southern Xinjiang, you have the right to deal with the promotion and appointment of other officials. You see, Chen Yuanwai has already done the approval, you just need to read it and go through the procedure. ”

"Oh!"

Yao'er suddenly smiled and said: "This official has just taken office, and the affairs of the Ministry of Officials are not very clear, and there is Lao Zhizhi!" ”

Li Zhenghu hurriedly shook his hand. said in fear: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the humble position is just to know what I have seen and heard in the ministry for many years." ”

Yao'er smiled and said, "I know, you go get busy!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhenghu retreated, Yao'er reopened the official document, and saw that there was an approval from Zhu Ran, a member of the Ministry of Officials: "It is recommended that Lin Xiwei be allowed to resign and be honored, and Liu Sili will succeed him as the assassin of Jijun." ”

Yao'er picked up the pen and was about to circle it, the tip of the pen was slightly pinched on the handbook, and she had just painted a black dot, and her heart suddenly froze, and she was busy and condensed the tip of the pen.

Wrong! Even if it's a small history, a small palm. There are people who sharpen their heads and go to the camp to fight, what a fat gap in the history of this state, no one comes to fight for it, when did these officials become so high-spirited?

Among the six ministries, it can be said that it is the best yamen and the most difficult to do. It is said that it is easy to do because the household, ritual, criminal, military, and industrial departments are all very professional yamen, presiding over ceremonies, scientific examinations, receiving foreign guests, counting household registration, calculating money and food, prosecuting prison names, construction projects, and training soldiers......

Which one is easy to do? Which one isn't a myriad of things?

And what does the ministry do? The ministry is just a place for officials. What's so difficult? Whether there is any political performance or negligence, it is clear at a glance in the resume examination class. If all of them are without merit, then it is very easy to do, and no one has anything to say about seniority and promotion in order.

But can it really be that simple? In fact, the most difficult yamen in the six departments is the official department, whether it is promotion, promotion, or demotion of a person, it has to go up and down, left and right, inside and outside, all levels of relationships must be considered, all kinds of interference, entrustment, pressure, that have to be long-sleeved and good at dancing, adjusting and balanced.

Now that a county has changed hands, it is as simple as changing a concierge?

Yao'er glanced at her slightly. Behind a bookcase in the side compartment, Li Lingshi was pretending to be looking at something, but those eyes were clearly aimed at her movements. Although Yao'er still didn't understand what was wrong with this official document, she knew that there must be something strange in it.

Yao'er secretly took a look, gently put down the brush, and put the official document into her sleeve.

As soon as Li Zhenghu saw Yao'er raise his head, he quickly lowered his head and carefully wrote small letters on the official document one by one, but he didn't even know what was written.

The Tianguan Mansion is the head of the six departments. The position is high and powerful, so it is equipped with the position of two squires.

Coincidentally, these two waiters are part-time. One is Wang Xue, the Fengge Sheren and the left attendant of the Tianguan, and the other is the right attendant of the Tianguan Lang Zhongzhi Tianguan Yao'er. The left waiter is already half a grade higher than the right waiter, plus Wang Xue is a genuine waiter, and Yao'er is the acting waiter. Therefore, Wang Xue became Yao'er's top boss.

Yao'er rushed directly to Wang Xue's official room. Wang Xue's office is full of calligraphy and paintings, the smell of books is very strong, and there are no official letters piled up on the case. When Yao'er walked into his office, the old man, who was over fifty years old, was splashing ink and painting a pair of danqing.

A pair of ink bamboo has just emerged, Wang Shilang is concentrating on the bamboo leaves, and suddenly saw Yao'er hurriedly walking in, and couldn't help but show a slight look. Quickly pulled a piece of paper to cover the half-painted picture. greeted warmly: "Changshi is here, sit down." Sit down, but what's the matter? ”

Yao'er was not polite, took out the official letter from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Shilang and said, "Shilang, please see!" ”

Wang Xue unfolded the official document and looked at it, looked up and asked, "What?" ”

Yao'er said: "Xiaguan is screening people with both talent and virtue to fill the southern Xinjiang government. I didn't expect to find this file in the mountains of official letters, so I specially sent it to Wang Shilang and asked Shilang to dispose of it. ”

Wang Xue snorted and said: "Changshi, don't be polite, you now have the right to know the heavenly officials, and you have the right to deal with such affairs." This is just a normal resignation and appointment, and it will be handled according to the rules after the circle. ”

Yao'er Zhengse said: "The Tianguan Mansion is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country. This is the root of the selection of scholars in the imperial court, how dare the officials be careless? This pen goes down, but it will determine the parents of the people, but not long after the official arrived in the Tianguan Mansion, he does not know whether the officials in various places are virtuous, prudent and clear, fair and commendable, and diligent and lax. Let's ask Wang Shilang to give instructions in person! ”

"This ......"

"There are still a lot of resumes to look at on the lower officials' desks. Don't bother much, farewell! ”

Yao'er smiled at him modestly, turned and left. Wang Xue froze in the air with one hand, watching Yao'er stride away, and then looking down at the official letter on the case, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly: "This woman is obviously a cunning fox!" His Royal Highness the Marquis of Weiyang, you want to kill two birds with one stone, it's difficult! It's hard! ”

……

His Royal Highness the Marquis of Weiyang, Tian Chengqian, was seeing the driver in the Dyeing Immortal Hall at this time.

Tian Qiniang now gets along with Zheng Anyi, a beautiful young man, day and night, when he goes out, he is in the same car, when he enters, when he is in the same room, when he eats, and when he sleeps, he is in the same bed. Many times, Tian Qiniang summoned his close ministers and did not shy away from letting him wait by his side.

But Tian Chengqian is her own nephew after all, and Tian Qiniang is always not good at showing her face in front of her relatives and juniors, so she deliberately moved to the Dyeing Immortal Hall to see him.

At this time, Tian Qiniang was sitting on the chair, looking at the three long boxes on the table with great interest, the three long boxes were made of small leaves of red sandalwood, and the inner cushion was soft silk, and there was a ginseng, a He Shou Wu and a Ganoderma lucidum inside. That person participated in He Shou Wu's human form, especially He Shou Wu, who seemed to be even lifelike with his eyebrows, eyes and facial features.

Tian Chengqian stood behind Tian Qiniang, gently pinched her shoulder, and said softly: "These three ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and He Shou Wu are more than 300 years old, and they are all painstakingly obtained by Jun Xiachen to help my aunt recuperate the dragon body. Jun Xiachen is now just a small state to join the army, how can he be qualified to deliver the three treasures directly to the palace, thanks to his quick mind, he has long thought of this, and instead sent the three treasures to the nephew's mansion, let the nephew present it to his aunt. ”

In the past few years, Jun Xiachen has been getting something to send to the palace from time to time, in order to arouse Tian Qiniang's mercy, but unfortunately there is Pei Su in the palace, and Jun Xiachen's news cannot be sent in at all. Jun Xiachen later found that there seemed to be someone in the palace who was against him, and began to follow Tian Chengqian's path instead.

It's a pity that he was too successful as a lonely minister before, not only the loyal ministers hated him, but even the traitorous ministers didn't like him, he sent a lot of things to the Weiyang Marquis's mansion, and Tian Chengqian's gifts were accepted, but he didn't do anything for him. This time, it was Tian Chengqian who took the initiative to help, because this mad dog was mortal enemies with Jiang Dexu and Yao'er, and Tian Chengqian wanted to get him back to Beijing to bite people.

Tian Qiniang looked at the humanoid He Shou Wu, and said with a slight bow: "Well, this thing, Ouchi is not easy to see, and it is really difficult for him." ”

Tian Chengqian hurriedly said: "No, in the spring of this year, my aunt was unwell by accident and stopped for three days. After hearing about it in Tongzhou, Jun Xiachen was deeply concerned, and hurriedly went around to get these three treasures that prolong life and strengthen the body, and sent them to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Tian Qiniang stroked the He Shou Wu tree, smiled faintly, and said lazily: "Jun Xiachen has been in Tongzhou for a few years, right?" After spending the past few years in the local area, his temperament should be much more restrained. It's hard for him to be filial piety, so let him go back to Beijing to be a palace captain, don't be like a poor little child......"

The profession of being an official, from ancient times to the present, has always been the most popular profession. Because of the fierce competition, people who are too popular, too qualified, have too bad reputation, and lack of talent are definitely not considered.

But things like talent and character are certainly not the most important selection criteria, life experience, background, backers, and connections are the decisive factors.

However, the new Tianguan Lang Zhong Yao'er is not responsible for the vacancy of one official, but the vacancy of a group of officials, this matter is too concerning, in this case, few people dare to make a big deal out of it, even if they want to take care of a certain force, they will not be too unscrupulous.

In this case, the most likely thing to do is to arrange a few more positions for the party she wants to take care of, but the degree must not exceed the bottom limit of tolerance of other forces, and other forces can also gain something, although they can't eat, but they don't have nothing to eat, so that everyone won't tear their faces and only compete in secret.

But this is not the case with Yao'er, among the resumes of the people she has personally seen, only a very small part of the people from the Han clan and from the family account for a very small part, and the people from Tian Sansi and Jiang Dexu's faction account for the vast majority.

These people were originally from the Han clan or a family, or an official family, but they now have the most obvious political label: Tian Sansi or Jiang Dexu.

After Ouyang Yuyan lost her position as the Lord of Visible Ink, her power was greatly weakened, and she could no longer keep abreast of Yao'er's movements, so it took a lot of effort for her to get a list of official files that Yao'er had consulted. As soon as he saw this list, Ouyang Yuyan was at a loss. (To be continued......)
