"Brother Shen, sit down, junior brother will pour you a cup of tea." Shi Bingzheng was greeting while looking around for teapots and cups, but he was very depressed and couldn't find them after looking for a long time.

Zhaomo is a chicken rib yamen, the big and small officials of the household department have never put it in their eyes, but just as an ordinary knife and pen official to summon, and the miscellaneous servants also follow the same example, rarely carrying a teapot to offer courtesy.

Shi Bingzheng smiled awkwardly, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. Shen Chongming and Xiao Pengcheng have been with the three of him for a long time, but he is not as good as Xiao Pengcheng when it comes to doing business, and he is not as skilled as Shen Chongming when it comes to being a man and an official.

"Hehe, don't be busy, I'm just here to see you, I still have some errands, so I'll go back first, get busy." Shen Chongming smiled, got up and walked out.

"Tut, Brother Shen is really powerful, he has been promoted in just a few months, if we can be like him, it would be great." Wang Siming sighed.

Shi Bingzheng smiled and didn't answer, saying that he still relied on Brother Shen to get the champion, and he should be satisfied if he can get an official and a half-job today, don't ask for too much.

"Lord Zhao, Xiaguan has some personal matters, can you be accommodating and let Xiaguan go home early?" Shen Chongming returned to Zhejiang Qing Officials Division and immediately came to see Zhao Langzhong, he had something in his heart, and he really didn't want to delay.

"Hehe, Lord Shen just go back, you don't need to ask the official for such a trivial matter, your errand official will help you keep an eye on it." Zhao Langzhong said very boldly, this person is good, and it is worth having a good relationship.

"Then it's troublesome, and the next official will leave." Shen Chongming arched his hand gratefully, turned around and walked out.

High arch house.

In the past few days, Gao Gong has just been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and to achieve this level, he only needs to go to the cabinet every day to discuss matters and order what he has to do, and he doesn't need to stay in the yamen all day.

"Teacher, the disciple has a reluctant request, and I hope the teacher can agree." As soon as Shen Chongming finished saluting, he went straight to the topic, and his own people didn't need to be too wordy.

Gao Gong frowned, his disciple often bothered him except for academic matters, but he rarely bothered himself.

"Tell me, what is the difficulty?" Gao Gong asked, sitting up straight.

"Teacher, you should know Shi Bingzheng and Wang Siming, right?" Shen Chongming said cautiously, although Gao Gong is good to himself, he is upright, and this is really a very dangerous thing for him to go through the back door.

"Of course I know, that's the champion and the leader of this big exam." Gao Gong said with a smile, when the banquet was held in the palace that day, he, the chief examiner, had also talked to them.

"Does the teacher know where the two of them are on an errand now?" Shen Chongming decided to take a roundabout strategy, first recounting the tragic experience of the two of them, Gao Gong is soft-hearted, as long as he is moved, it will be easy to do.

"This ...... This is a matter of the ministry, but the teacher never knew about it. However, according to the practice of previous years, champions and bangyan are usually sent to the Hanlin Academy as Jishi. Although the official position of the Shu Ji Shi is not high, but the future is great, and all the first assistants of the Ming Dynasty have served as the Shu Ji Shi. Gao Gong said with a smile.

"What the teacher said is good, but the two of them were assigned to the Hanlin Academy, but they are not Shu Jishi, but they have received the idle errand of history book editing, and now they are on an errand in the household department." As he spoke, Shen Chongming shook his head and sighed.

"Tobe Shomo?" Gao Gong frowned, this Zhaomo Institute is a proportional business, and the onlookers there are all elderly people, how can they arrange the champion and the list of eyes there.

"Ridiculous, how can it be justified." Gao Gong said with an angry face, the judges in this subject are all protégés of their own examiners, they are not promising, aren't they slapping their faces.

"Yes, teacher, today the disciple was transferred to the household department on an errand, and I went to visit the two of them in my free time. I thought it was a confidential event, but I didn't expect it to be some transcribing errands, isn't this burying talents? "Shen Chongming is on fire, and the more angry Gao Gong is, the easier this matter will be.

"Chongming, you should have a good relationship with the two of them. And after that, did the two of them ever visit the officials in the capital? Gao Gong thought for a moment and asked.

The four of them have been together, of course, this is not a thing. "Teacher, we have been living together since the big exam, and the two of them have never visited the official."

"That's it, alas, officialdom." Gao Gong sighed, no wonder this champion and the list fell to such a point, it turned out that he didn't defect to the big man, and no one spoke above, so this errand naturally couldn't be better.

"This matter has been written down by the teacher, and I will arrange it for them tomorrow, you can rest assured." Gao Gong's words made Shen Chongming breathe a sigh of relief, he originally thought that he would beg for a while, but he didn't expect that he hadn't said anything, and the teacher decided to help.

"Thank you, teacher." Shen Chongming couldn't help but thank him.

"Hehe, you kid, you haven't come to visit your teacher for so long, and you suddenly came here today, is it just to help the two of them intercede?" Gao Gong is an old man, although he was angry just now and didn't think it clearly, but in the blink of an eye, he guessed Shen Chongming's intentions.

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you. The teacher is busy, and the students have been afraid to come and disturb him, but I have been thinking about you in my heart. Shen Chongming scratched his head and smiled, full of lies.

"Chongming, I heard that you are doing your own business outside?" Gao Gong suddenly asked, I heard King Yu talk about this in King Yu's mansion a few days ago, and I heard that he did a good job.

"Don't hide it from the teacher, there is indeed some business, but it is not a disciple alone, it is a partnership between the three of us, and now it is taken care of by Xiao Pengcheng, the original supervisor of our country." Shen Chongming said with a heart, according to rumors, these scholars hate businessmen the most, don't be angry because of the teacher you provoked at this time.

"It's okay to do business, but I want you to put all your mind on serving the court, and you can't put the cart before the horse, understand?" Gao Gong admonished, young people are easy to be spent, and often knock and knock is.

"Students keep in mind the teachings, and Xiao Pengcheng is taking care of the business now, and students will go to see it when they have free time." Shen Chongming hurriedly assured that he was discovering more and more that Gao Gong was an enlightened person.

"Well, that's fine. Tell me about the teacher, what kind of business are you doing? Gao Gong asked with interest. Shen Chongming's family background knows that it is not easy to do business without much capital.

"If you go back to the teacher, the disciple's business is to help other people's stores engage in publicity, which is very simple." Shen Chongming said very modestly, who would have thought of doing this business except himself in these years.

"Propaganda? Oh, no wonder it's called public, it's a fitting name. Hehe, the brain is not motivated, not bad. Gao Gong stroked his beard and smiled, it seems that this disciple is really a talent.

"Teacher Xie compliments." Being recognized by Gao Gong, Shen Chongming was also very happy.

"By the way, you're working as an errand boy in the household department now?" After chatting for a long time, Gao Gong thought of this question.

Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, what Zhang Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials just said this morning, didn't you arrange this matter, teacher?" ”

Gao Gong shook his head, "No, it seems that the emperor is planning to reuse you now, and you will do your best in the future, but you must do your best, don't let down the emperor's love for you." ”

Gao Gong's face was full of serious advice, where did Shen Chongming dare not listen, and quickly nodded: "The student obeys the order, and he must live up to the emperor's love and the teacher's expectations." ”

"Well, that's fine, then you hurry back to your errand, you can't run out at every turn in the future, understand." Gao Gong glared at Shen Chongming and said.

Shen Chongming smiled, bowed and said, "The student is leaving." With that, he turned around and slipped out quickly.

As soon as he left, Gao Gong also got up and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair to go out, the matter of the champion and the list must be solved as soon as possible, other yamen can't do it, and it is still feasible for the Ministry of Rites to arrange two positions for them at will.

"Go to the ministry." Gao Gong commanded and sat in his four-person sedan chair.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites arrived, and Zhang Juzheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly greeted him when he heard the news. For the high arch that is older than himself, Zhang Juzheng is very respectful. "Xiaguan Zhang Juzheng, I have seen Master Gao."

Gao Gong's promotion is like a rocket, Zhang Juzheng will not be envious, after all, the background of the family is there, the teacher of Prince Yu, in today's court, such a status is only the teacher Xu Jie, who can be on an equal footing with him.

"Hehe, Lord Zhang is polite, this official took the liberty to visit, and I ask Lord Zhang to forgive me." Gao Gong is also very polite, this Zhang Ju is a personal talent, and Yuwang values it very much.

"There, Lord Gao, please." Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said.

"Master Zhang, we are all our own people, and this official is not polite. This time I came here for the sake of the champion of the current department and the list of people, this official has just taken over the Ministry of Officials, and it is when talents are needed, so I also ask Lord Zhang to make it convenient and transfer them to the Ministry of Rites, is it feasible? As soon as he sat down, Gao Gong went straight to the point.

Zhang Juzheng was also unambiguous, and smiled slightly: "Okay, Master Gao will sit down for a while, and the lower official will order someone to handle it." ”
