Chapter 380: Entering the Mansion as an Official
The next day, Guo Huai, who had just woken up, was served by his subordinates and got up. Thinking back to yesterday's banquet, my head was still a little dazed. It wasn't until Zhang Timing came and invited him to go to the Governor's Mansion to take up his post that he dared to believe that this was true.
"Brother Jinyan, please forgive me for yesterday's incident!" , Zhang Timing sat in the carriage and made a salute to Guo Huai.
Knowing what he meant, Guo Huai sighed and said, "Brother Yuanshan! The old man didn't mean to blame. ”。 Since Zhang Timing had a correspondence with him, he guessed Zhang Timing's intentions. Originally, he was dead to his career! But this time he came to Khorasan and walked the land of Puhua, Amu, and Malu, which made him unconsciously ignite the idea of re-entering the official career.
Because of the governance of Puhua and other places by the Governor's Office of Khorasan Province, he saw hope. The hope of an empire rising! Although he only walked three places, he was able to get a glimpse of all the counties of Khorasan Province under the tube.
So when Li Chengji was invited to the palace as an official at the banquet yesterday, he agreed. Otherwise, no matter how big the favor is, he will not help.
Zhang Timing listened and sighed a little: "In recent years, Brother Jinyan should have seen it!" The saint is desolate in political affairs, and the court party attacks and annihilates it. The elephant of the Great Liao is already the river is declining. ”。
"Brother Yuanshan sees it clearly! Every time the old man thinks about it, he is heartbroken. Guo Huai's face showed a bit of sadness. Da Liao's decline, he saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. So I have always been good friends with Li Shichang. I hope to try my best to save the decline of Da Liao and extend the number of Qi of Da Liao.
However, the saint is not a Ming Jun, a pro-villain, and a distant virtuous minister. not only reuses Yeluzi and other traitorous ministers, but also raises tigers for trouble, and reuses barbarians. As a result, the northern part of the Great Liao was in turmoil, and the Huihe also betrayed the Great Liao because of the Mongolian incident.
If it weren't for the fact that there was the Khorasan Governor's Mansion in the south, it would not be possible to say that Khorezm would have stolen the Hezhong Mansion and counterattacked the hinterland of Daliao.
Therefore, after being deposed by Yeluzi, he gave up his mind of career. One is that he doesn't want to be a minister of the country, and the other is that he is also passive and avoids the world.
It's just that now, because of Li Chengji's kind invitation, he is out again.
With such emotion, the two came to the governor's palace. Inside, Li Chengji was already waiting in the study where he was dealing with government affairs.
"Uncle Guo! You're glad you're here to serve the Governor's Palace. After Li Chengji ordered someone to watch the seat and serve tea, he said with a happy face.
Seeing Li Chengji's happiness, he didn't pretend to be. Guo Huai's heart was also a little relieved. He replied: "Since the old man works for the governor's palace, then the virtuous nephew should stop calling the old man uncle." ”。
After that, it's like Li Chengji made a courtesy of a monarch and said to the governor.
Li Chengji did not squirm, and directly appointed him as the secretary of the Supervision Department, subordinate to the Criminal Department. Although it is a second-class official position, it is not a chief officer. But as a secretary of the first division, he is also second-class. Moreover, the Supervision Department already has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, which is somewhat similar to the previous position of Dali Zheng in Daliao.
However, the competence of the Inspectorate is clearer. After collecting illegal evidence of officials, they may report to the corresponding department according to their rank. In addition, in the performance of official duties, officials below the third rank shall not obstruct the collection of evidence by the Supervision Department.
After listening to these words with Guo Huai, Guo Huai once again made a courtesy of a monarch and a minister. In this way, the Governor's Mansion has another old minister of Daliao.
It's just that Zhang Timing stayed in the study after Guo Huai left.
Li Chengji saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Zhang Da Diwan, do you have official business to explain?" ”。
"Uh... A while ago, I got a volume of agricultural books found from the Xia Kingdom in the house. Now that it has been translated into Chinese, if the governor is interested, he can go to the palace to have a look. Knowing that Li Chengji was very interested in books about farming or obscene skills, Zhang Timing specially ordered someone to collect some to cater to Li Chengji's preferences.
"Oh! Agricultural books? Then I'll visit you another day! Li Chengji thought about it and came down.
Zhang Timing was satisfied and left the study.
A few days later, Li Xiao ordered a message to come and let Li Chengji go to the manor for dinner. By the way, Li Chengxue was taken back to the Governor's Mansion so that he could study in the school.
It was at this time that news came back from the land of Gul. When the emir, who said that Bamiyan was helping, learned of the help of the Governor's Palace, he immediately ordered a large quantity of gold and silver to be sent to thank the Governor's Palace for its kindness.
At the same time, he assigned gullibility to come to Malu to discuss specific cooperation matters.
This matter is related to the offensive of the Governor's Palace against the land of Gur, so it must not be careless. Therefore, Lee Seung-gil ordered the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Rites to make careful preparations in order to achieve the goal.
When all government affairs were almost handled, Li Chengji asked Li Chengye to call him and go back to the manor for a reunion together.
Now Li Chengye has joined Ma Lu's border army and is carrying out intensive military training. And he was still a small soldier, using a pseudonym.
This is what Li Chengye himself requested!
may be that his younger brother is too good and doesn't want to be set off too ordinary. So he took the initiative to join the border army and was willing to start as a small soldier. With his own strength, he climbed up step by step.
Since Li Chengye is unwilling to use his connections, then Li Chengji is not reluctant. And his approach has worked wonders. The brothers, like Kombas, hid their identities a little and volunteered to join the youth camp.
There, like everyone else. Train hard and be promoted by virtue of military merit.
Therefore, it can be said that Li Chengye has helped Li Chengji a lot! Originally, Li Chengji didn't know how to arrange them! After all, if they do things according to the rules, Li Chengye and they will inevitably be unconvinced. If you don't follow the rules and promote the apologists with a strict system, there is a precedent for extrajudicial favoritism.
This is extremely detrimental to the long-term development of the Apologists.
Therefore, Li Chengye's active choice just allowed Li Chengji to avoid a dilemma.
At present, Li Chengye is already a centurion of the border army, and he is also in charge of hundreds of people. It is also because he has been in the Great Liao army before, so his performance in the army is far greater than that of those recruits.
During a routine training camp, a group of horse bandits were accidentally exterminated. At that time, among the recruits, several people were killed and injured due to the sudden intrusion of horse bandits. Fortunately, Li Chengye stepped forward and rushed into the horse bandits' horse team with a knife, killing four people in a row.
All of a sudden, the team of recruits who were in danger was rescued.
Later, he got the military rank of centurion and became the fastest promoted soldier in the border army. Li Chengji also saw this performance in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Although he privately arranged for guards to protect Li Chengye.
But when I encountered the horse bandits, the situation was too unexpected. Therefore, in retrospect, he was a little afraid that Li Chengye had three strengths and two weaknesses.
