"Boom!"

When the sound of the teacup breaking sounded in the military department Shangshu Mansion, the Goshha outside the door looked into the house one after another, and there was even a trace of a strange smile on their faces.

The teacup that fell to the ground turned into pieces. And the tea flowed all over the ground, and this sudden change made the young man who was wearing a crown and standing in an official robe in the room, and his face couldn't help but become a little difficult to look at.

"Adult ......"

Opening his mouth, the young man did not speak, but picked up the fold that had been thrown to the ground, and as he picked it up, Itu, who was sitting in the hall, snorted coldly.

"What are you doing? I don't know how to clean up this ground! ”

This time, Itu has already changed a teacup, and the handyman on the side also has a sneer on his face when he changes the teacup, hum, what a six-grade official, but just a minion!

The young man's face turned pale at this command, but he still knelt down in obedience.

"Wow!"

When he picked up the broken ballast, although the handle of the ballast was punctured, he still collected it until he picked up the last piece of ballast, and looked at his submissive appearance. Itu sneered inwardly.

"What are you doing here, you eyesore?"

Reprimanded and humiliated by Itu like this. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would have exploded by this time. But the young man squeezed out a smile and quit the room. It was all a look of indifference, but when he turned his face again, the shame and annoyance in his eyes revealed the truest side of his heart.

But every man has such dignity, but now Itu didn't give him any face at all.

He is also a dignified court official!

But Itu humiliated him like this! If this is really unreasonable, is he not afraid...... But the thought just came to mind. The resentment and anger in his eyes disappeared as he thought of who he was.

"Master, if you treat him like this, will Prince Jane be to blame when the time comes?"

When the words in the room came from behind, the young man couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turns out that there are still people who know that he is Prince Jane's person, but they don't save him even the slightest face, this person is really hateful!

At that moment, he heard Itu behind him snort coldly.

"No matter how good a slave is, it's also a minion! If you are a slave, you must guard the duty of a slave! Today, I just want to teach him what is, what a slave is, and what a master is. Lest you be a dog slave and have no master in your eyes! ”

When Itu's words reached his ears, Gong Chengqi's whole body trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Now he finally knew why Itu was so upset, why he treated him like this, and the reason couldn't be simpler, he was just a minion!

Even so, in the end, he just smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself silently in his heart.

"The master will always be the master!"

Yes, although he Gong Chengqi is a six-rank official of the imperial court, although the Gong family is now Prince Jian's coat, their family is also the coat of the Aixin Jueluo family, and as a member of the Jueluo family, Itu is also his master, and today ...... It's just that the master is teaching the slave, and he can't be proud of his talents, even if he sues the serious master, he can't say why.

"That's it, that's it, this Great Qing Kingdom, who cares about this line pile buried on the official road?"

It's not that no one cares, it's that no one thinks it's a problem at all. Even in his own opinion, it seems that he has been a little too worried.

Compared to the things in the south, perhaps for Itu, what he values is that these minions are not guarding their duties as minions. What is more important is that he Gong Chengqi forgot his duty to be a slave, so he humiliated him like this.

"That's it, you're just a minion, what the is this?"

Despite this thought, he decided to go to Prince Jane's house that night. In fact, it is precisely because the Gong family is born as a cloth slave that he is more eager to get ahead and be able to make others dare not look down on him, which is also the reason why he pays attention to the movements in the south.

It is precisely because of this that there is today's overstepping, in order to try to show his ability in front of the emperor, but who would have thought that before the fold was handed over, it was beaten back by Itu, and then it was reprimanded.

"Maybe the prince can do something for himself?"

He seemed to suddenly see a possibility that was both obvious and vague, and realized a truth that was both simple and profound. A promising and risk-free path opened up in front of him.

For the masters, they naturally hope that the minions will be promising, and if possible, they will definitely promote the minions as much as possible, so as to show the master's ability, right?

And for him, what he needs is to use the help of his master to go down step by step in this officialdom, and in the end, no one dares to underestimate him Gong Chengqi.

At that time, no one will say that he Gong Chengqi is just a minion, even if he is a minion, he is also a servant of the emperor. And not a minion that everyone can humiliate!

Even as a minion, Gong Chengqi is also a minion with great ambitions.

On such a dark night, Gong Chengqi stepped into Prince Jane's mansion alone. As a clothed servant in the palace, he is naturally more convenient than others to see the prince, after all, he is also a member of the palace. Because of this, he doesn't even need to pay money for the porter, after all, for the palace, every time he comes back, it is equivalent to going home. The porter naturally understood this rule, so after the porter reported it, he was summoned soon.

"The master is rich and honorable, and has everything, although the slave has been a Beijing official for five years, he still has a clean breeze on his sleeves. The slave knew that the master had taken a lot of effort to make the slave an official, but now he couldn't give the master a decent gift, and the slave was really angry. But tonight, the slave didn't bring anything, only a loyalty to the court, and did his best for my Qing Dynasty, for the emperor, for the country, and for the master. ”

Gong Chengqi's solemn and sincere words made Prince Jian quite moved. Originally, I didn't have much impression of the slave who went out of this mansion, but because he knew how to read and read, he was recommended to go out to be an official, but now because of this sentence, he looked at him differently.

By nature, Prince Jane, who was in his twenties, was not a greedy man for money, and he didn't really want people to give him gifts. And as a prince, he is not so bad, and the filial piety of the minions is decent enough.

For him, the minions can all be promising, which is the best gift. Just like the minion in front of him, since he can say this, it means that this person does have some talent.

Gong Chengqi's words made Prince Jian smile, and then said.

"It is the master's duty to recommend talents for the country, as long as you are loyal to me in the future to assist the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, I will be satisfied with the master."

Gong Chengqi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again:

"The words of the master, the slave will remember it for the rest of his life, be loyal to the emperor, be sincere in doing the facts for the Qing Dynasty, win glory for the master, and never live up to the master's cultivation ......"

Like anyone who is a minion, you only need to kowtow and thank you at this time. Faithfulness is enough.

"That's good, that's good."

Prince Jian picked up a teacup from the coffee table and took a sip of ginseng tea, although he was only twenty-eight years old, but he had been ill since the year, and his body was hanging on the ginseng tea. After drinking a cup of ginseng tea, Prince Jane's spirits lifted slightly. Look at this Gong Chengqi in front of him, he is a slave who went out of the house, a few slaves who went out back then, that is, he, relied on himself to achieve the sixth grade, originally when they went out, they were all seven-grade officials, I wanted to hone for a few years, and then give them a foil, when the time comes, there will be some positions in the court, but my own body! It may not be able to make it to that point.

Hey, that's it, after all, he is still a slave who went out of the house, so let's mention it now, lest he not recognize the master in the future. You have to leave some minions for your son, don't you? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed out in the first place.

"Liang Yuli came to the house a while ago to talk about you, praising your article for being quite ancient, others can praise you like this, that is also the glory of me as a master, you have won glory for the house, a while ago, I also recommended you many times in front of the Queen Mother. You can rest assured, the imperial court will never bury a talent without a single talent, especially now, when it is time to employ people. The Queen Mother immediately bowed her head and said that since it is a talent, it cannot be buried, and the reason why our Qing Kingdom can replace the Ming Dynasty is because it does not bury talents. ”

Gong Chengqi understood the intention of Prince Jane's words, and hurriedly left his seat.

"The cultivation of the master in the slave, the great kindness of the slave, the slave will not forget!"

"Sit down, sit down!"

Prince Jian was very satisfied with this, and after Gong Chengqi sat down again, he said with a smile,

"You came just in time today, I want to ask, if the imperial court wants you to do something practical now, are you willing to stay in Beijing to be a Beijing official, or are you willing to go to other provinces to be a five-grade governor?"

Just when Prince Jian said this, Gong Chengqi's mind was already thinking a lot. The first thing he thought of was, what was the purpose of the prince in saying this, was he really going to use him? Lift him? If there is the support of the prince, this will naturally be the best, even if it is Shi Itu, then it has to stand aside.

After figuring out everything, Gong Chengqi said without hesitation.

"The master is deeply grateful for the master's love, if the master is really willing to give the slave a practical matter, Weichen is willing to choose the position of Zhizhou. Even in Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu and other provinces, which are poor and remote, the slaves are willing to go. It's not that the slave doesn't know that the Beijing official is noble and comfortable, and the slave just wants to do more errands for my Daqing. ”

"Okay, the ambition is commendable, the master should show the emperor this ambition. If the emperor fulfills it, you should do it with all your heart, and share the work for the emperor and the court; If you stay in Beijing as an official, it is also a good thing, in addition to taking care of your own affairs, you can also often make up for the imperial court. ”

"Slave thanks to the master for cultivating!"

Gong Chengqi once again got up and kowtowed to Prince Jane.

"Then the minion will take his leave."

Now that the master has decided to promote him, there is no need to think about the previous matter.

"Okay, I'll send you two steps."

Prince Jane also got up.

"Don't dare. The master is like this, and the slave really can't afford it. ”

Gong Chengqi hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowed again, and said.

Prince Jane smiled and said:

"I'm going to move around a bit and move my bones, too. In addition, I have one more question. ”

"What does the master want to ask?"

Gong Chengqi's footsteps just stopped and asked in surprise.

"Let's talk as we go!"

Gong Chengqi had to follow Prince Jian out of the small living room, and he didn't seem to be an official in the court, but no different from the servants in the house.

Prince Jane said as he walked:

"I've heard that you're having some trouble with Itu this time?"

Obviously, Prince Jane is talking about today's matter. Gong Chengqi hurriedly replied:

"This matter, it is said that the slave overstepped, and the slave was just anxious about the affairs of the court at that time, and forgot his duty, which is really the sin of the slave."

No matter how good a slave is, it is also a minion!

Itu's words made Gong Chengqi understand his identity, and as a minion, he had to put himself in the right position.

"Well, it's good that you understand that."

Prince Jane nodded, and then said.

"Itu, well, still has some ability, let's get over this matter, tell me, what made you bypass him and give the emperor a direct discount?"

Seeing that the master took the initiative to ask about this, Gong Chengqi hurriedly said:

"Master, in fact, the slave heard about this matter, and he looked confused for a while, so he did the foolish thing,"

Before he could say anything, Gong Chengqi first said his sins, and such a gesture made Prince Jian nod secretly, this slave also knew how to measure,

"Oh? What is it? ”

"It's Jiangbei's business, recently the slave got the news that the thieves in Jiangbei buried blackened wooden stakes and one-zhang high wooden pillars next to the official road in Jiangbei, what did they press so many wooden stakes and pillars for? The imperial court didn't know at all, and no one cared, and now Jiangbei can be said to be the trouble of my Qing Dynasty's henchmen, but no one paid attention to it, is it really that simple to do something like this? If it were that simple, how could they spend tens or even millions of taels of silver? But no one really cares......"

Gong Chengqi said this, Prince Jian Jidu nodded from time to time, and then he said.

"You're right, we're too lenient about the things in the south, if you put it aside, when you don't enter the customs, don't say it's such a thing, it's the county of Daming that puts a seven-pin product, we will also write it down, these years, it's really underestimated the Han people......"

Speaking and asking, the two came to the courtyard of the palace, and Gong Chengqi asked the prince to stop again. Jidu nodded and said:

"Okay, then the king won't send it, you just wait for the good news!"

When he was leaving, Ji Du looked at Gong Chengqi again and said.

"As for this matter, well, this king has his own arrangements......"
