Wang Maolin was able to climb to this position, naturally he was not a stupid person. glanced at the noble prince with understanding, but this was a matter explained by the left waiter of the dignified ceremonial department, even the emperor Lao Tzu had to find him out.

He didn't hesitate too much, and immediately said: "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

Finished!

Chen Pu sat down on the ground, and suddenly felt that a catastrophe was coming. The noble son's mouth opened slightly, but in the end he still didn't reveal his identity, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant wilting.

Lin Haoran didn't have any deep grudges with the other party after all, and he did beat Chen Pu and others at the river gate, but he didn't want to be too unreasonable, after all, he, the second chief of the Ministry of Rites, had to pay attention to personal conduct.

When he gave the order, he said gently to the people present: "You need no need to be polite, get up!" ”

"Lord Xie Budo!" The officials had been kneeling for a while, but they did not complain at all, and returned the salute respectfully, and then they carefully stood up from the ground.

As Lin Haoran revealed his identity, Lin Fu and the others became more powerful and did a good job in security seriously.

"I don't know that Shao Zongbo passed by Liaocheng and couldn't meet him from afar, and the lower officials felt uneasy. Please invite Uncle Shaozong to settle down in the mansion, and prepare a banquet for the officials, so as to wash the dust for the adults! Wang Maolin had a flattering smile on his face, although he had experienced the unhappiness just now, he also hoped to take advantage of this rare opportunity to stammer Lin Haoran and send out an invitation.

Li Juzuo and other officials also looked at Lin Haoran with a flattering smile on their faces, hoping that Lin Haoran would accept their invitation.

Lin Haoran's gaze directly crossed Wang Maolin and fell on a young man wearing a seven-rank official uniform, and this young man had a strange face from beginning to end.

Lin Haoran's memory is very good, especially in terms of recognizing people, especially this official with Yan Nedu's pockmarked face, he greeted gently: "Brother Zhinan, see you after many years, don't come unharmed?" ”

The eyes of Wang Maolin, Li Juzuo and other officials fell on the young official with a pockmarked face, who was already Liu Zhinan, the governor of Changdong Mansion.

The relationship between officialdom is so inextricably linked, Chen Pu was an official in Changdong Mansion in the same year, and Lin Haoran was also an official in Changdong Mansion in the same year, and Liu Zhinan, the official of Changdong Mansion, was the top three jinshi in the 37th year of Jiajing.

It's just that the fates of the two are completely different, Lin Haoran is now an official of the Sixth Ministry, and Liu Zhinan is still struggling in the position of the official of Changdong Mansion.

It's not that he didn't think of climbing up, but he came from a poor background and had no relationship in the capital at all. Although he was even more conscientious in the affairs of his hands, he was despised by Shangguan in exchange.

Not to mention that compared with the most dazzling Lin Haoran, other fellow subjects have been on a higher level one after another, and he is still stepping on the ground in place, and because of this pockmarked face, the future can be described as bleak.

It's just that what he never expected was that after nearly six years, the most dazzling fellow scholar of the year, and now a senior official of the Sixth Ministry, could still remember him, an unknown junior.

Liu Zhinan endured that excitement, and replied respectfully to Lin Haoran calmly: "Everything is fine with the lower officials, and the adults are worried!" ”

Wang Maolin and Li Juzuo looked at this low-key official in surprise, but they didn't expect to have such a relationship, and they seemed to be familiar with Lin Haoran, but they couldn't help but re-examine this official underneath.

Lin Haoran walked directly in front of Liu Zhinan, patted his arm eagerly and said: "Our senior brother hasn't seen each other for many years, and we should have talked about it well, but I didn't dare to delay my brother's trip to Beijing, so I can only sit down and talk about wine next time we meet!" Now that my brother is leaving by boat, would you like to take me to the docks? ”

The dignified Servant Zuo of the Ministry of Rites invited him, and he said it so politely that Wang Maolin and the others were immediately stunned.

Liu Zhinan knew that Lin Haoran was so "valued", even if he could not be promoted to the next level, his situation in the Changdong Mansion would definitely be better in the future, and he responded gratefully: "I can send it to you...... Senior brother, this is the honor of the lower officials! ”

"Okay, let's talk while we go!" Lin Haoran raised his hand slightly, showing that he attached great importance to Liu Zhinan.

Lin Haoran originally planned not to spend the night in Liaocheng, but now that he has made such a fuss, he doesn't want his whereabouts to be completely exposed, even if he plans to leave Liaocheng, he plans to return to the capital earlier.

Locally, although he, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, can cover the sky with one hand, but if he wants to defend his position or go further, he must return to the capital with open guns and hidden arrows.

As for inviting Liu Zhinan, firstly, he knows the importance of encircling low-level officials, which will allow him to reduce resistance in everything he does in the future; The second is to know that this Liu Zhinan is indeed a good official, and he also has the meaning of pulling a hand.

In officialdom, there must be people not only above, but also people below, especially to achieve the highest position, and there must be a group of available people below. Even if Yan Song was in the past, there were people like Hu Zongxian who could take on great responsibilities under him.

Knowing that Lin Haoran appeared, officials of all sizes from the two levels of the yamen in Liaocheng dispatched one after another, and together they respectfully sent Lin Haoran to the dock, and then watched Lin Haoran get on the boat and leave.

Although many high-ranking officials pass through Liaocheng every year, it is rare to see a big man like Lin Haoran. It's not that there are no six-part waiters passing through Liaocheng, but Lin Haoran, the six-part waiter, is more special, and his identity and potential are admired and admired.

As the official ship gradually disappeared, Wang Maolin and the others slowly withdrew their gaze, and finally strode around Liu Xiangnan, asking about his relationship with Lin Haoran and what they had just talked about.

Liu Xiangnan felt unprecedented attention, but when he remembered Lin Haoran's words, he shook his head lightly and was reluctant to reveal half a point, knowing that he had indeed stayed here for a short time.

Li Juzuo watched Liu Xiangnan turn around and leave without saying a word, just wanting to reprimand a few words, but when he thought that he had already climbed up to the dignified Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, he swallowed back the words that were spit out to his mouth.

As a local official, the size of power is never about what position he holds, but whether there is anyone in the court.

The cold wind blew on the surface of the river, and the surface of the river appeared clearer, but the more painful the person's face became.

After Liaocheng, it will soon be able to flow down the river to Tongzhou, and the capital is already in sight. It's just that as the capital approached, Lin Haoran's face became more and more solemn.

"Master, the identity of that son-in-law has been clarified!" A figure hurriedly walked over, saluting respectfully.

Meng Zhao and Wang Shiju happened to be standing here with Lin Haoran, and when they heard that the identity of the noble son had been found, they also cast a curious look at the comer.

Lin Haoran looked at the leisurely river in front of him, and seemed to have an answer in his heart: "Luoyang Mansion is not a provincial capital, and it is not the hometown of a big man in the court, such a perverse son can appear, and he can only hide it like this, he must be the son of Yiwangfu!" ”
