Chapter 360: Coinciding with Eagle Yang's absence
Li Mi didn't have much interest in this Eagle Banquet, after all, he didn't want to be a military general, but he just listened to everyone's persuasion and took the martial arts exam to find a serious background.
Although Wu Weizhong is the backer, Li Mi is not that kind of person, he can work his own, so why go through this back door.
But Zhao Guangling is different from Zhang Huangting, they really want to develop in this direction, Zhao Guangling is okay, he is just a stone thrown by many wealthy families to the imperial court to ask for directions, but Zhang Huangting needs to clear his identity for the Zhang family, and he is actually very concerned about this martial artist.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Mi and them came to this Eagle Yang Banquet in order to take care of these two brothers.
He doesn't care how others wronged him and misunderstood him, but Zhao Guangling and Zhang Huangting lost face, how can they mix in this officialdom in the future?
Li Mi was already very restrained, and even endured it in every possible way, and explained impatiently, but the more he explained, the more he was treated by this group of people as a crane tail that could be humiliated at will!
Li Mi leaned on crutches, turned back again, looked at the person who spoke, and then looked at the Wuju people present, his face was already very ugly.
Everyone saw that there was a faint majesty in Li Mi's anger, and their hearts began to feel a little uneasy.
Li Mi is an official, although the rank is not very high, but he has handled a lot of cases, and he is in charge of the entire science and learning institute.
These people didn't dare to speak, and the long dragon quieted down, and the people in the concierge had been busy receiving gifts and receiving guests, and there were some small commotions behind the team, and they didn't have time to take care of them, so they noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, so they came out to check.
It didn't matter if I looked at it, the concierge found that it was Li Mi and the three of them, and when he walked over, he said to Li Mi.
"Master Li, you can be regarded as here, General Rong has instructed, Master Li is hard, the three masters can go in directly, and there is no need to wait outside......"
"Master Li? Who is this? When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect that Li Mi was still recognized by the Governor's Mansion, and it sounded like the relationship with the Governor's Mansion was not shallow!
The others were a little afraid to make a sound, but the one who had been talking and mocking before laughed and mocked.
"No wonder it's so arrogant, it turned out to be a relative of the Governor's Palace, I'm afraid that this martial arts is the last name, and it is also a walk to get in!"
When this person said this, everyone also laughed, but the man was anxious and said to the man.
"This martial master is not happy to say this, are you saying that my family is always favoritism?"
The gatehouse is also exquisite, it is impossible to let these people talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of the governor, so a reminder, the Wuju people are also in a cold sweat.
Shicai was greedy for a quick mouth, and he almost caused a big disaster when the time came, he just saw that Li Mi and the three of them were not pleasing to the eye, and he never thought about offending the governor!
When the porter saw that his face had changed, he said to him, "Today is the feast of the eagle, if there is a bad greeting, everyone should take care of it more, and other things, just talk less." ”
The man hurriedly stuffed something into the porter and thanked him repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, someone was abrupt......"
The concierge was not well used, so he waved his hand and refused, and said to the man.
"No, this Li Ye is the official of Nanzhi Lili, and he should be awarded the title of Captain of the Seven Grades of Loyalty and Bravery, according to the ranking, he is indeed ranked last, but there is a difference between respect and humility, although you are a new imperial examination person, but you still need to be described by the Ministry of War, and there is no official position, let alone a meritorious lord, it stands to reason that all of you should be ranked behind Master Li Mi Li."
The porter also knew that Shicai had snubbed Li Mi, and letting Li Mi and the three of them line up for most of the day was already a big slack, if the governor knew, it would not be as simple as being scolded.
No one knows better than them what kind of courtesy Li Mi received in the Governor's Palace, and it is common for Governor Mo Hengluan to personally come out to greet Li Mi, even Suo Changsheng and others beside Li Mi can also enter and leave the Governor's Mansion at will.
What's more, these are all new science and technology martial artists, but they have just gained a name, and they have not been officially awarded a military position, even if they are awarded a military position, it will not be too high, and it is impossible to grasp the real power immediately.
The liberal arts exam is highly anticipated, and everyone calls it Qingyun Avenue, but the government exam is only one of the links.
The status of martial artists is lower than that of literati, and what official positions can martial artists get can be mixed with, you can know it when you think about it with your ass.
People say that the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, these concierges are ushered in, they are exposed to it, they have political insight and understanding, how can they not figure it out, and it is impossible to treat these martial arts people favoritism, where are these martial arts people comparable to Li Mi, that is, they are favoring one over the other, and they must also be thick Li Mi and thin martial arts people!
This doorman told the identity of Li Mi, and even reported the titles of Li Mi Li and the title of lieutenant of Zhongyong, and these martial artists were also surprised.
It's just the officials of the Institute of Justice, and it's not unseen that the seven-rank officials have never seen it, but the loyal and brave lieutenant is awarded to meritorious ministers, and it is not easy to be promoted, Li Mi is still so young, and he has already been awarded the loyal and brave lieutenant, which shows how much credit he has to the imperial court!
is also slow to talk about Li Mi's official position, not to mention the seniority, that is, Li Mi's contribution to the imperial court, they can't compare to Li Mi!
But they still couldn't understand why Li Mi had already had an official position and the title of loyal and brave captain, so why did he come to participate in the martial arts?
According to the rules of the liberal arts examination, officials are generally not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, but the martial arts examination is different.
In this way, this Li Mi should also be this kind of talent, but the results of the disciples of the General Sect are good, why is Li Mi only ranked second-to-last?
Everyone inevitably looked at Li Mi with suspicious eyes, and Li Mi knew that he couldn't keep a low profile today, so he said to the doorman: "The old injury of this official has recurred, and the pain is terrible now, so I won't go in. ”
Li Mi said this, and was about to leave with Zhao Guangling and the others, but the concierge was in a hurry.
Because to his ears, Li Mi was blaming him at all! If it weren't for the porter to let Li Mi wait outside, just standing like this, how could Li Mi be unwell, this is Li Mi complaining in disguise!
"Master Li, don't, if you leave like this, the villain won't be able to explain to General Rong!"
Li Mi smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to President Rong later, I can't wronged you." ”
The Governor's Mansion is also familiar with Li Mi, knowing Li Mi's temperament, at this time Li Mi smiled at him, and the concierge naturally saved himself from thinking too much.
But after all, today is the Eagle Yang Banquet, Li Mi is so absent, is it inappropriate, he can't make a difference, when he is in trouble, Li Mi has already led Zhao Guangling and the others to turn around and leave.
The porter hurriedly called the people around him, lowered his voice and ordered: "Go and inform Zong Rong and ask Zong Rong what he means!" ”
When the little guy heard this, he also hurriedly ran back to the Governor's Mansion, many martial artists saw such a scene, and then looked at Li Mi's back, thinking about Shicai's squeezing and mocking, he was inevitably apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if Li Mi would remember their faces.
Li Mi and the three had just walked a few steps, and several large sedan chairs came in front of them, the official license plate opened the way, and the honor guard was majestic, and Li Mi and the three had to stop.
If it was usual, Wang Hongzhi and the eldest grandson would not be so high-profile, but today is the Eagle Feast, according to the rules, they have to wear official uniforms and play a whole set of honor guards.
Wang Hongzhi is old, can't stand this toss, has been enduring in the sedan chair, it is inevitable to look around the scenery, just saw Li Mi and the three of them avoiding the road, so he pressed the sedan chair, poked his head out, and asked Li Mi.
"What are you guys doing here?"
Li Mi saw that Wang Hongzhi had a weak face, so he deliberately teased: "I took the countdown to the exam, and I can't get over my face, so I don't want to eat this eagle banquet, come and take a walk, I also ordered, and the gift was given, and I mixed it up, of course I have to go back and hide." ”
Wang Hongzhi also couldn't laugh or cry, how the liberal arts exam should be, although the martial arts exam is more relaxed, but it is only relative, after all, it is all practical operation, there are not many things left on paper, and the space for dark box operation is also larger.
Moreover, Mo Hengluan and the officials of the Ministry of War were the main examiners, and Wang Hongzhi got some authority, and out of political considerations, he suppressed the results of Li Mi and the three of them, which was good for Li Mi, who would have thought that Li Mi would bite Lu Dongbin, and even said strange things.
Wang Hongzhi sat down in the sedan chair, then walked down and said to Li Mi: "Don't be crazy, why do you do this, don't you know?" ”
Li Mi knew it, but he didn't forgive: "Don't, I don't know about your old foresight and foresight, I only know that someone promised to give me a back door, but in the end, it suppressed my ranking." ”
Wang Hongzhi also knew that Li Mi was deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he was also convinced, so he shook his head and said: "It's done, I've read about this, can't I make up for it for you in the future, today is the Eagle Yang Banquet, it's not good to be absent, it doesn't matter if you don't have face, you can't let Mo Zongrong lose face......
If Li Mi is really going to be persuaded to go back, how can he face those dozens of martial artists? Just walk in style, and then turn around and go back, but it will be gray and slippery!
"Uncle Zong, you said this lightly, it is shameful enough to be a good official, and it is really a shame for General Rong to continue to participate in the banquet, it is better to be a bachelor who does not go."
Li Mi and Wang Hongzhi were also climbing here, and the eldest grandson rope on the side also got off the sedan chair, in fact, it was not necessary to persuade Li Mi to go back, the two got off the sedan chair to talk, but also to give Li Mi some face.
As expected, many martial arts people recognized the official sedan chair, and Wang Hongzhi was also one of the examiners, and he was responsible for the strategy part, and everyone recognized it.
It is also speechless, if Li Mi is close to the main exam, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of favoritism, whether to avoid it or to avoid it, but the three of them are talking brightly, as if they don't take this scruple as a thing.
Think about it, it's true, with Li Mi's status and status, it is humiliating to take the last place in the exam, and if you can get a better ranking by relying on your own ability, who will go to the trouble of bribing the examiner, just for the penultimate one?
This is how to say that they are playing favoritism, and no one believes it!
A few people were talking on the side of the road like this, and there was movement on the Governor's Palace, and it was Governor Mo Hengluan who came out in person!
These martial artists are excited and excited to the extreme, this is the court member of the supervising side, if he has one or two, the future career will not be smooth sailing!
Many people here came to the Eagle Feast and gave generous gifts, isn't it just to make a familiar face in front of the governor, and at this time, they held their heads high and took out all their spirits.
It's just that the governor didn't see them at all, and walked straight to Li Mi's side, and everyone thought that the governor was going to greet the two officialdom bosses in Nanjing, but it turned out that it was not......
