After the initial examination, the letter of recommendation received by the bus government will be submitted to the prime minister's office for a second review. Review the content and language of the recommendation letter to see if there is anything "absurd and perverse, offensive to the holy face".

The fifth day of the lunar month.

The palace is snowy and deserted.

The officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion hid in the mansion, burning charcoal stoves while examining, and finally reviewed the recommendation letters of more than 100 people in a whole ox cart one by one.

"This year is good, Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng, the beloved apprentices of Master Kong, the first poet of Jinling, Xie Lingyun, and Li Kangnian of Pingwangfu, are all leaders among the younger generation."

"Hehe, Jia Yu, a disciple of Jiuqing Taichang Daru Lu Zi, is also a famous young talent in Jinling. Gongsun Hong, a disciple of the great Confucian Xiao, was also recommended this year. ”

"Lord Yang Chu of the Jiuqing Great Agricultural Order, it is the Lord Father Flame who is recommended."

"This year, it's really full of talent!"

The officials on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion were all praised.

Because all the letters of recommendation were recommended by princes, ministers, and officials above the county guard of 2,000 stones. Under normal circumstances, it will not be dismissed.

But there's still a headache!

Chu Tianxiu, the first gentleman in Jinling, no one recommended him, so he sent a bullock cart of "Self-Recommendation Book" to the bus mansion.

Lord Yang Jiang of the Bus Mansion was afraid and did not dare to interrogate, so he sent someone to pull him directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The officials on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion were all dumbfounded and heartbroken when they saw this unprecedented "Self-recommendation Letter".

Xiao Duhou's self-recommendation is worth the weight of the first hundred people.

This means that they have twice as much review this year as they did in previous years. Originally, the list of personnel could be reported to the emperor today, but it would have to be delayed for a day or two.

But no.

The marquis of the Dull Mansion is still there, and they have no reason not to let the little Dull Marquis recommend himself.

Since it was sent, it can't be rejected without looking at it. Xiao Duhou is not stingy, and if something happens, it will also give people a headache.

So it still has to be tried for the first time.

This whole car of self-recommendation letters is placed in the last review.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a scroll for each of you and see if there is anything wrong with the words! If there is no problem, just add it to the list of years old! ”

Lord Xie Huyong took a scroll casually and commanded.

Today he is on duty.

Vice Prime Minister Wang Su is on vacation today and is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There are also two long Shi Cui Junguo and Zheng Liang, as well as dozens of adjutants and small officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The officials, large and small, each took a scroll from a pile of bamboo slips and looked at it.

Amazing!

They were a little contemptuous, but at this glance, they actually... It was also enjoyable to watch.

Xiao Duhou's brain hole is too big, he used hundreds of rolls of bamboo slips, and there are no dead ends in his body.

This volume is he praised his handsome face, which has never been as handsome as he has since ancient times, and it is a thousand words long, and it is amazingly gorgeous. Which adult wants to appreciate this volume? ”

"Xiaguan has a volume here, praising his credibility and nobility. It tells a story about him, who owed a friend a penny ten years ago, and still remembers returning it ten years later.

He called this 'a gentleman owes a penny, and he will pay it back in ten years', which shows the nobility of his credibility! Lord Zheng, can you finish that volume? to exchange for a roll. ”

This volume is about his bravery, writing that he drank dozens of bowls of spirits one day, and in the evening Jingyanggang met a fierce tiger, and fought on the spot, fists to the flesh, one hand to the tiger's head, and the other hand to hit the tiger's belly.

Tsk, this picture is almost like in front of you, depicted with a knife, breathtaking... If it weren't for the fact that the official had seen his thin body, he wouldn't even be able to kill the chicken, I would have almost believed it.

But if he boasts that he is a novelist, I will believe it. Show me those volumes of yours, what other stories he made up! ”

Suddenly.

With a "snap", a roll of bamboo slips was slammed on the table.

The officials suddenly woke up from their immersion in joy, but they saw Xie Huyong, who usually looked like a peacemaker, and his face was full of anger.

"Angry old man, angry old man!"

Lord Xie Huyong trembled with anger, slammed the bamboo slip on the table, and was furious, "Little Dull Hou, what does he want to do." If you want to win the prime minister's position, you can't do it?! ”

"Thank you, why are you so angry?!"

Long Shi Cui Junguo was surprised.

"What did the little dusk marquis say?"

All the officials were happily reading Xiao Duhou's self-recommendation just now, and they were surprised and puzzled when they heard the words, and they understood where the anger of the Lord Xie came from.

You must know that Prime Minister Xie Cheng's good temper is well-known in the court.

He is in the court, often turning a blind eye.

The court is full of big and small things, and if you can mix it up, you can mix it up.

If you can't get around, you will call the emperor the master of everything.

Others scolded him for being confused.

Prime Minister Xie also smiled and didn't care.

Therefore, the officials of the court are not too afraid of offending this good-natured prime minister.

What can provoke this Prime Minister Xie to lose such a big temper?!

They hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips that Prime Minister Xie Cheng threw away in anger and took a closer look.

Xie Huyong is looking at the last volume. Hundreds of bamboo slips in front of him are all Xiao Duhou's boasting about himself.

But only the last volume of Xiao Duhou's "Self-Recommendation Letter" is very different.

made a summary on it, and it was clearly written: "Your Majesty, I have the qualifications of a prime minister, and I am willing to share my worries for Your Majesty!" ”

"This..."

"So straightforward?!"

The officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all stunned and looked at each other.

Xiao Duhou said to the emperor that he wanted to be the prime minister? This is the throne of the two prime ministers.

No wonder the master Xie Huyong is so angry.

No matter how good his temper is, he can't bear to be stared at by others to become the prime minister he has worked hard for most of his life. And the one who is eyeing him is still Xiao Duhou, a Jinling gentleman.

"Master Xie doesn't have to be angry, the little dusk marquis has always been so mediocre and nonsense, everyone in the world knows it, and the emperor also knows it. We rejected this self-recommendation letter on the grounds that the qualifications did not match. Why be angry with him! ”

Cui Junguo hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Don't do that! Xiao Duhou is extremely difficult, if he knew that Prime Minister Xie rejected his self-recommendation letter, he would definitely have to write again to make trouble. ”

Zheng Liang hurriedly persuaded, "He is now the son-in-law of King Ping, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has rejected it like this, and King Ping's face will inevitably be unsightly." Let's leave the letter of recommendation to Your Majesty to deal with. Holy and holy, there is a holy judgment! ”

Li Rong, the king of Ping, is the father-in-law of Xiao Duhou.

Prime Minister Xie Huyong is also the father-in-law of Li Rong, the king of Ping.

It's not nice to mess with each other!

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty doesn't like the little dusk, and he will definitely personally reject the little dusk's self-recommendation."

"Even if Your Majesty does not reject this self-recommendation letter because of King Ping's face. Isn't there still a temple to ask?

The level of the little dusk marquis must not be able to answer anything.

When the time comes, His Majesty will not hire him as an official. Xiao Duhou was defeated, so naturally he had nothing to say, and he couldn't complain about the prime minister. ”

The officials suddenly came to their senses.

Xiao Duhou is in Jinling City, which is the most difficult of the gentlemen, and it is not more difficult than ordinary.

If they offend the little dusk for no reason, they will inevitably get into trouble. If you offend King Ping because of this, it will be even less cost-effective.

Or ask the emperor to come out and submit him personally.

That's the best way to go.

"Hmph, tomorrow morning, this phase will definitely be played, and it will be a little faint! This hairy boy actually dared to tease the prime minister like this in the recommendation letter. ”

Xie Huyong was furious.
