Chapter 154: Helplessness (Second Update)
"Liang Daguan, how could this painting academy be awarded to the next minister? Is it what Liu Daguan meant? ”
Looking at the jute edict in front of him, Wu Haogu didn't talk nonsense with Liang Shicheng anymore, and asked directly.
Liang Shicheng smiled and glanced at Wu Haogu, now Wu Haogu has not "received the decree to thank him", theoretically he can still "not just", that is, not to obey the edict. In the Song Dynasty, you would not be able to cut off your brains if you did this. However, the official family will be very unhappy......
"Brother Chongdao, do you know how many people want to do this? How much is it worth? ”
A direct edict is a senior edict who is qualified to take on the edict, and it takes 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to start. Has Wu Haogu ever had a big son now? Does Liu Youfang hate money or like Wu Haogu too much, so he gave him such a fat shortage?
As for the small shoes in the future...... Who is Wu Haogu "playing" with today?
Zhao Ji!
Duan Wang Zhao Ji!
The current favorite to inherit the throne!
Even if he is a straight leader, these small shoes are not something that Liu Youfang can make up for him to wear. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Youfang to ask for trouble for himself, and find Wu Haogu, a thorn with a backstage, to be the chief of the edict.
"Then ......" Wu Haogu was even more confused, "then how can you do it for me?" Please also ask the senior official to make it clear. ”
As he spoke, he gave his father Wu Chengzhi a look, and a 500-yuan "personal friend" was stuffed into Liang Shicheng's hands.
Liang Shicheng took the "personal friend" and smiled bitterly: "It's okay to talk to you, your edict is given by the official." ”
Official?
Wu Haogu was stunned, isn't the current official family of the Great Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Xu? He doesn't seem to know himself, and he hasn't heard of how much Zhao Xu loves the art of painting, why should he give himself a fat shortage?
Could it be that Duanwang Zhao Ji told his brother about his skills after he went back?
Seeing Wu Haogu's confused appearance, Liang Shicheng only had a wry smile. Originally, he was going to sell the position of Zhao Zhichang for 30,000 yuan, and he could get at least 15,000 yuan. The buyer has found it, and he is waiting for the payment of one hand and the delivery of the other. Somehow, the official suddenly called himself over, asked about Wu Haogu's situation, and then casually sealed the edict to be straightened up......
A fat shortage worth 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, in the eyes of the emperor, is nothing!
In addition, Wu Haogu can be hand-picked by the official family to be edicted to be straight, and the backstage is as hard as a steel plate! Who will dare to ask him for a bribe in the future? And he is still so young, he may be able to work for decades in the position of waiting for the edict to be the chief of the edict, and maybe he will be promoted from the edict to the palm painting academy......
Thinking of going to work with Wu Haogu for a long time in the future, Liang Shicheng had a feeling that he couldn't cry. However, his face was still full of smiles, "Brother Chongdao, you are a person who is valued by the officials, and in the future, you and I will have to take care of each other in the Hanlin Painting Academy." You don't have to call us a big official, just call us our name. ”
"No" is impossible, Wu Haogu is not a good man outside the Donghua Gate. Emperor Chrysostom said that if you want to give you a fat shortage, and if you dare to "don't give up", you will be embarrassed.
Now Zhao Xu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, is not a particularly good-tempered master, he even said that the queen mother who was in love with him would be abolished, and those old party figures were sent to "Yalong Bay" without frowning. This guy is clearly a ruthless official...... God knows what he's going to do to fix himself?
A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, not to mention that Wu Haogu is not a hero.
Thinking clearly about the powerful relationship, Wu Haogu immediately put on a smiling face, and arched his hand at Liang Shichengyi: "Brother Shoudao, I really didn't expect to be able to be in the position of waiting for the edict...... Therefore, I did not prepare, but I still know the number of etiquette that should be fulfilled, and I will definitely make up for it in the future. ”
"Gift" is to give money!
If Liu Ai is now the official of the Hanlin Painting Academy, Wu Haogu will not give a copper plate. But Liang Shicheng ...... He is one of the "six thieves"!
This kind of artificiality can not be offended, and it is better not to offend him.
So the money still has to be given, but there is no need to give 30,000 as much, and having 10,000 is considered a courtesy...... After all, this dispatch was given by the official family, and it was not bought from Liang Shicheng.
When Liang Shicheng heard Wu Haogu say this, he also smiled, not because he was greedy for that money, but because he knew Wu Haogu's attitude. As long as you can talk about money, everyone will be like-minded friends, and you can always get along in the future.
"There is one more thing," Liang Shicheng said with a smile, "You will come to the Hanlin Painting Academy around noon tomorrow and wait for the announcement of the official family."
As for the entry procedures, after meeting the official family, we will take you to do it. ”
The position of "waiting for the edict", as the name suggests, is waiting for the summons, although it is not every day, but it is much busier than being a painting.
"Got it," Wu Hao Gu said, "I will definitely arrive at the Hanlin Painting Academy on time tomorrow." ”
"Okay, okay, that's fine." Liang Shicheng stood up, "Our family is going to go back to recover earlier, so we won't bother today." ”
Wu Haogu and Wu Chengzhi, the two fathers and sons, heard Liang Shicheng say this, and it was not easy to keep them, so they got up and sent Liang Shicheng all the way out of the door.
……
Moonshine, such as washing.
In the study of the samurai mansion, the lights flickered until late at night.
Wu Haogu and his father sat opposite each other, with a pot of turbid wine and two side dishes on the desk, and the father and son were talking about their future plans while drinking.
So much happened in the past day.
During the day, he and Duanwang Zhao Ji came to meet Fan Lou (Fengle Lou is also known as Fan Lou), and then met Pan Qiaolian at Pan's house, and in the evening, he also got a Hanlin Painting Institute to be sent by Zhao Zhichang...... Of course, this is a happy event, the painting academy can be "employed" almost 100%, and it is the natural head of the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Company, so it is a dream position for ordinary painters (painters without official positions).
Just a few months ago, Wu Haogu (before being pierced by the soul) never dreamed that he would one day be able to sit on the throne of the edict.
But now, he actually dislikes this position as "not free", and the waiting time before "leaving the post" is too long.
It's a bit incredible when you think about it!
However, Wu Chengzhi's mouth was almost closed with a smile. In today's situation, the Panlou Street martial arts family is really going to prosper...... His eldest son actually made a direct edict, and he was only in his early twenties! In the history of the Hanlin Painting Academy, there is no second person.
And his second son is also too learned, maybe in more than a year, he will be a good man outside the Donghua Gate!
"Okay, great......," he said, taking another glass of wine, and said to his son with a smile, "You are not yet twenty, and you are waiting for the edict to grow up!"
In the future, even if you have a stable qualification, you will be able to get an official body before the age of thirty. However, your ability is great, you can't use common sense, I think it will be two or three years before you can have an official, and then the painting academy will be in charge of you and me. ”
Wu Haogu was not very interested in co-taking charge of the Hanlin Painting Academy, but he wanted to become the head of painting - painting was a national professional art school opened during the Song Huizong period, and Wu Haogu wanted to take this school into his hands and run it well.
If it were possible, it would be nice to make the study of painting a university of medieval standards......
"Daddy," Wu Haogu frowned slightly, now his plans were a little disrupted, "The errand of the Hanlin Painting Academy...... It's not easy, is it? ”
When Wu Chengzhi heard this, he laughed: "What's not easy?" The so-called people in the DPRK are good officials, and you are now someone in the DPRK! Are you afraid that you won't be able to do a good job? ”
"Someone in the court?" Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, "You mean...... Duanwang? ”
He then shook his head again, "It's unlikely that he...... It's not as fast as that. ”
If you don't count the last time you had a relationship at the gate of Wang Xu's West Garden, Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji had just met, how could the other party immediately give themselves such a big benefit?
"Who's that?" Wu Chengzhi asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Wu Haogu said.
Wu Chengzhi smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay...... There is always a noble person, you don't know, others don't know. I don't know the depth, who would dare to provoke you?
Besides, the previous edict was directed, and now he can endure hardships in front of the Northwest Army! ”
That's true, too. Wu Haogu's edict is hand-picked by the official family, what if the official family values his ability? This backstage is hard enough, right?
Wu Chengzhi said again: "In addition, the Hanlin Painting Academy did not open on the first day, and all kinds of rules are complete. You just have to do everything according to the rules and you can always cope with it.
But you must remember one thing, the Liang official just now must be fed. Tomorrow I will bring 15,000 taels to him, and I will always be filial in the future...... In addition, bring twenty or thirty personal friends of Baiyi, and give one when you see a nobleman, you will not be wrong. ”
"To feed so much?" Wu Haogu listened to his father's words and became a little numb.
Wu Cheng smiled: "Not much, not much...... If you go to feed Liang Daguan, others will come to honor you. After completing the entry matters, he held a banquet on Panlou Street and invited the proprietors of the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Company. The ones you gave to Liang Daguan will be able to be retrieved right away. ”
After discussing it with his father, Wu Haogu had some bottom in his heart, so he turned the conversation to his marriage with Pan Qiaolian.
"Daddy, although this edict is not an official, it is also a good assignment, and it is only a matter of time before he takes up his post." Wu Haogu paused and looked at his father, "Then the marriage between the son and Pan Eighteen ......?"
It's not an official body, it seems to be a little worse.
However, the dispatch of the edict is much more valuable than a nine-rank sesame official, and it ...... Wu Haogu also has the line of Duanwang Zhao Ji.
An official body is just a matter of more than a year later.
Therefore, Wu Haogu didn't want to delay any longer, and married Pan Qiaolian earlier, so that he could really settle down in this world.
"Daddy knows," Wu Chengzhi smiled, "Pan Eighteen is a good girl, if you can marry, it will be a blessing." Daddy will go back and look for someone to be a matchmaker, and with your current status, most of you can succeed. ”
