According to the original plan, Wei Xianmei will participate in the spring festival in February, followed by the palace examination, and when she gets her fame, she will wait for the imperial court to arrange a position, or enter the Hanlin Academy, or go to the county to be released, even if she officially becomes an official of the Great Zhou.

If the political performance is not bad, and someone is promoted, after a few years, he will be able to return to Beijing, and after a few more years, he will be able to enter the ranks of high-ranking officials, and even pay homage to the prime minister.

This is the most orthodox civil official path, and it has been designed by Wei Renpu for a long time.

However, Lao Wei never imagined that the situation had changed.

So many officials resigned, leaving no one in the court, and Wei Xianmei didn't wait for the exam before she got a position in the right to know the degree of Zhilang.

The so-called degree branch is under the three divisions. The three divisions are the collective name of the degree branch, salt and iron and household department, and the degree branch is in charge of financial statistics and support, to put it bluntly, it is the money bag that manages the Great Zhou.

Don't look at it as a Langzhong, the official is small and powerful, even if the chief officials of other ministries and institutes, the officials of the feudal territory, and even the generals who lead the troops, they must be polite when they see it...... There is no way, people have the right, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, which yamen who holds money is not angry?

Even if the emperor approves it, and the three envoys nod, what can they do? If Lang Zhong, who is in charge of specific affairs, wants to card you, it is guaranteed that you will not be able to go up or down for three months, receive less than a penny, and find no mistakes!

The so-called lack of success and more than failure are talking about them.

I'd rather offend the king of Hades than offend the little ghost, Duzhi Langzhong, that's such a bull position!

Even if there is a word right to know in front of it, it is too idle to offend.

As the prime minister, Lao Wei didn't have the courage to arrange Wei Xianmei to the Du branch even if he was dedicated to cultivating his son, and he could be drowned by saliva alone.

But who would have thought that without any effort on his part, someone had already helped arrange it.

Wei Renpu's eyes rolled, and he sighed, I understand, what else don't I understand!

It must be the trick played by the pair of monarchs and ministers again.

This method is not clever, it has already been used once on Li Gu, forcing Li Gu to be stunned, acting as the vanguard of the change, and now it is going to be repeated on himself!

Aren't you not in favor of the new law?

Okay, let your son become a beneficiary of the new law, just look at your old guy, are you willing to work hard for your son?

It's easy to understand!

But it's really to the point!

Lao Wei pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, and said solemnly: "Wu'er, Dad doesn't allow you to be this Langzhong!" ”

"Why?" Wei Xianmei came to his father for advice with joy, but he didn't know that his father poured a basin of cold water on his head, and it didn't taste good!

Wei Renpu sighed, "Child, don't talk about other things for your father, this is in charge of financial and tax expenditures, the official is small and powerful, and it is related to the interests of all parties, my father is afraid that if you don't do it well, you will trap yourself in!" ”

Wei Xianmei was not convinced, "Dad, it stands to reason that the child should listen to his father, but the father said that the child can't do well, and the child wants to say a few words for himself." Although the child has not been in charge of too many places, the child is in Youzhou and is also in charge of a county...... And because of the war, the children are all clear about what cross-regional requisition of people, transportation of military rations, rush to repair roads, and even the distribution of slaves. In his spare time, the child also studied all kinds of newspapers, and the imperial court smashed tens of millions into it in order to recover Youzhou, hundreds of thousands of horses, millions of people, such a scale, the children are involved, although there is no main business, but what to do, the child has a number in his heart. Of course, things in the capital are more complicated, so the child came to ask his father for advice, hoping that his father could give advice. ”

Wei Xianmei raised her head and said from the bottom of her heart: "Dad, the child doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to do a good job, but the child wants to try...... Ask yourself, I'm so much better than the poor Confucians who only know moral essays! ”

His son's words made Wei Renpu very uncomfortable.

Yes, the child went to Youzhou at a young age, suffered so much, and suffered so much experience...... Now that he has a good position, but he is not allowed to show his talents, no matter what, it is unreasonable!

But if you want to be this official, your father has to go on Ye Hua's thief ship.

How dark that kid's heart is, as a father, he has already understood it!

What's more, this is a decisive battle between the emperor and the scholars, even if it is a high-ranking official at the level of the prime minister, it is just a big ant, and if it turns into ashes, it will turn into ashes, and there will be no sound.

In your father's life, he gambled once to help the first emperor enter Kaifeng and create the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty...... Your dad is old and doesn't want to gamble!

"Alas!" Wei Renpu sighed, "Wu'er, what is the situation now, you know it in your heart, why do you need to wade into troubled waters?" ”

Wei Xianmei didn't understand what her father was thinking!

"Dad, those scholars don't measure their own strength, coerce the monarch's father, and think how great they are! When is this? Where is the thousand-year-old family? Even if you want to continue to prosper for several generations, it is difficult to do so. Daddy is the prime minister, if the child doesn't work hard and is suppressed by his peers, there will be no hope for our Wei family in the future! Wei Xianmei said aggrievedly: "It's not just the child who was promoted this time, but also Li Ji, Feng Ping, Feng Ji, and even the surname Xue was reused, and Daddy couldn't bear to watch the child being left behind by them?" ”

Wei Xianmei was about to go on, Wei Renpu was so angry that he frowned, and said angrily: "Don't talk about it, what you just said just now just shows that the saint and Ye Hua are already exhausted, and they have sent out everyone!" It's good that they can carry it, but if they can't, this Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely messed up! Until you see the situation, the Father will not allow you to participate in it! No, it just doesn't work! ”

Lao Wei took out the domineering spirit of the prime minister and the dignity of his father, and commanded sharply, "Come on, send him to the study, take care of him, and don't allow him to go out half a step before the exam, give me a good study!" ”

Wei Xianmei was stupid, he shouted in his heart: "Dad, Dad, you are so confused!" Such a good opportunity, I can't ask for it, do you want to let those who fall behind the children surpass one by one, and the children will have to look at their faces in the future? ”

Old Wei Ke didn't care what his son meant, and directly asked the family to grab Wei Xianmei's arm and go outside.

Wei Xianmei was so angry that she shook her arm, stomped hard at her father, and walked outside.

As soon as he opened the door, he found Mrs. Li standing at the door with a black face, she stretched out her hand, grabbed her son, and said angrily to the family: "Get out!" ”

The family had never seen his wife so angry, so he was so frightened that he even crawled and ran away.

Wei Renpu's eyes widened, "You, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Shi walked in front of him in two steps, without saying a word, reached out and tore open his son's sleeve, revealing the wound on his arm, and before he could speak, tears fell first.

"Is it easy for our son? He has today, in exchange for his life! You old thing, just thinking about yourself, you have become the prime minister, can you still be the emperor? ”

Wei Renpu was so frightened that he hurriedly stretched out his hand, went to cover his wife's mouth, and scolded: "You are crazy, you dare to say anything!" ”

Madame jerked his arm, "I'm not crazy, you're the one who is crazy!" Are you still planning to get involved with those civil official families and fight with the Son of Heaven? ”

"What do you say? I do not know! ”

"Don't play dumb!" Li grabbed Wei Renpu's collar and said angrily: "Xiangye, you have been smart all your life, why are you confused at this time!" Can people fight with God? ”

Just this sentence seems to be a heavy hammer that smashed into Wei Renpu's heart!

The Son of Heaven and Shilin, fighting for thousands of years, the emperor is strong, he suppresses the civil officials, the emperor is cowardly, the civil officials can do whatever they want, in short, the two sides are one and the other, this is the general trend since ancient times...... It's just that this general trend has nothing to do with him Wei Renpu.

Because no matter what the final outcome is, it doesn't mean much to him anymore.

The Son of Heaven promoted Wei Xianmei to give himself a signal.

Which side are you on?

Do you run with the scholars, or do you pledge allegiance to me?

Doing things for the emperor, the benefits are in front of him, and the son can immediately sit in a position that others can't look forward to in their lifetime...... If you are not obedient, you will rely on the means of the emperor and Ye Hua to make yourself survive and not die, then there is no problem at all, and the Wei family will also be implicated!

"Alas, you're forcing me to ruin my reputation!"

Li didn't care about that, "My son is an official with his ability, not greedy or possessive, honest and honest, worthy of conscience!" What are you afraid of? Xiangye, if you really don't agree, I'll take my son and go to Yefu! ”

"What are you doing in Yefu?"

"I'm going to beg Ye Lao Fengjun to let our son cut off the father-son relationship with you, so as to save him from being implicated when he cuts off his head!"

"You!" Wei Renpu was angry, and he really couldn't make sense with his mother-in-law!

"Stop, stop, stop! The old man was killed by you! ”

Wei Renpu was silent, seeing that he had admitted defeat, the Li family was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave Wei Xianmei a look, Wei Xianmei was so clever, he saw that there was a wooden basin on the ground, and the water in it was cold, he hurriedly poured the water, and instructed the housekeeper to get some hot water.

"Daddy, the child will wash your feet!"

What else can Wei Renpu say, no matter how big the character is, can he really turn his face with his wife and children?

The son took off his boots and went to his socks, speaking of which, this was the first time Wei Xianmei washed his father's feet, and he was so happy that he forgot to test the water temperature.

Coincidentally, Lao Wei told the housekeeper that the hotter the better.

The housekeeper pondered, the first time it was sent was poured, it was estimated that it was not hot enough, and this time it must be strong enough...... What's even more coincidental is that Wei Renpu's study has several braziers, and the temperature in the room is very high, and the family of three is thoughtful, so they ignore the water temperature, thinking that the housekeeper will adjust it......

"Ahh

The screams like killing pigs came out of the Wei family!

On the second day, Wei Renpu went to the political hall early, and before the people came down, he took a pair of crutches first. Wei Xianggong wore a pair of soft-soled shoes, crutches, and walked into the political hall with difficulty.

Coincidentally, Ye Hua wanted to come to the political hall to discuss things, and happened to see Wei Renpu who was struggling to move forward.

"I said Wei Xianggong, you are really loyal to your duty, and you came here when you were injured?"

Wei Renpu barely straightened his waist and looked at Ye Hua, the flesh at the corners of his mouth was twitching!

He stiffened his old face and said in a muffled voice: "The old man is loyal, why not be afraid of a little injury!" ”
