After the next dynasty, Xue Shao, Guo Yuanzhen, Xue Chuyu and others went to the Ministry of Officials to replace them with new officials.

Including Xue Shao, everyone couldn't hide the excitement and joy in their hearts, but it was not because of how tempting everyone was to be promoted and rich. In fact, Xue Shao and some other people who came out of Fengchenwei were changed from civilian officials to military attachés, and in the eyes of the scholars, they were still a regression of "turning from clear to turbid".

What really excites everyone is that such a group of like-minded people finally have the best stage of their own. This stage is so hard-won and long-awaited. The future is full of hope and infinite possibilities because of this stage!

Everyone was full of blood and spirit.

Cheng Wuting took his son Cheng Qiyi to find the officials to congratulate Xue Shao and others. But in a moment, Li Jinxing and Niu Ben, Zhou Jitong and Cheng Boxian and others came, and a group of people crowded into the official department, treating this place as a guest hall to congratulate and laugh constantly.

Wei Xuantong, the secretary of the ministry, has a general friendship with Xue Shao, but he is close friends with Xue Yi, Xue Kegou and others. Seeing that so many people crowded into the ministry together, Wei Xuantong was also kind and offered to say that Xue Shao and the others should put on a roasted tail banquet to celebrate their promotion.

Cheng Wuting and others hurriedly said yes, and even immediately proposed which cooks to invite to cook and what kind of good wine to use to entertain guests, and the location was best chosen at Xue Shao's house. Princess Taiping's Mansion is big enough and spacious enough, and more importantly, grand enough!

Xue Shao's reaction was very calm, and when everyone's excitement calmed down a little, he said, "I'll build yì, or don't put on a roast tail feast." ”

"Why?" Cheng Wuting was the first to shout, "This is a great happy event, why can't you celebrate?" ”

"General Evil, of course there is a reason why I refuse to set up a feast." Xue Shao said, "We are all very young, and the oldest is not yet 30 years old. Looking at Chang'an, there are all officials who are older than us, older than us, and higher in rank than us. Today we are just transferred to a small general, and if we celebrate it in a big way, it will make people think that we are young and frivolous, and we are villains. Moreover, our promotion today is not a reward after triumph, but the result of competition in the court. When we transferred to Qianqi, it also meant that some people were squeezed out by us, and they already had resentment in their hearts. We have no grudges with the old generals of the Thousand Riders, and if I celebrate and show off in a high-profile manner, it will be too frivolous and not very kind. Now that it is eventful, such a flamboyant thing to erect the enemy can still be less or less, and it can be avoided! ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt reasonable, so they nodded yes one after another.

Cheng Wuting didn't say much more, but said: "Since Xue Gongzi is so modest and cautious, then my old Cheng won't say much." In the future, we will be colleagues in the same camp, and the military tun of the thousand horsemen will be close to our left feather Lin Wei. In the future, we must have more contacts and learn from time to time! ”

"It's inevitable!" Xue Shao said with a smile, "General Evil, I know that you are the best at training cavalry, and it is difficult to match anyone in the world." If I want to train the army, I will definitely ask you to come and give advice, you don't cherish the broom and hide it! ”

Cheng Wuting laughed, "Then my old Cheng can't cheapen you for nothing - you have to teach me the method of practicing the Three Swords Brigade!" ”

"Okay, one thing is easy and one thing doesn't suffer from each other, so it's decided!"

"It's a deal!"

Everyone talked and laughed, and the mood was very happy. When Xue Shao and the others were about to leave after completing their official certificates, Wei Xuantong, the secretary of the ministry, invited Xue Shao to his official office and closed the door.

"Wei Shangshu, do you have any advice?" Xue Shao asked humbly.

Wei Xuantong smiled bitterly and said, "Xue Gongzi, let's not talk darkly. A few days ago, there were rumors that Xianyang County ordered Yao Yuan to love the people like a son, govern the government in a proper way, punish the evil and promote the good, and not avoid the powerful, so that Xianyang ruled the lower road without leaving it behind and not closing the door at night, and the local people rushed to build a shrine for it, and they were grateful to Dade. However, within ten days, three inspectors went to Xianyang to inspect the official customs and people's conditions, and the tone of the report was the same, and they were full of praise for Yao Yuanchong. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was alienated from the government, once told me in person that Yao Yuanchong was indeed a good official who was diligent in government and loved the people, and he was a pillar of talent that could be of great use. ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, Yu Hongye's work ability and efficiency were really extraordinary, and even the prince helped her as a pusher!

"Xue Gongzi, what the old man wants to ask is...... Is this qiē behind your back? Wei Xuantong said, looking at Xue Shao with blazing eyes.

Xue Shao laughed, "Wei Shangshu, you really think highly of me." I think that although I Xue is a relative of the emperor, I have to entrust my majesty to Hongfu if I want to be a four-grade general. How can I do such a great thing? ”

Wei Xuantong shook his head with a smile, "Xue Gongzi, is this treating the old man as an outsider?" ”

Xue Shao blinked, "I don't know, what Wei Shangshu meant?" ”

"Then the old man took the liberty to ask, does Yaochi Yulin and the red leaf shop have anything to do with the son?" Wei Xuantong smiled meaningfully.

Xue Shao knew that Wei Xuantong was not an outsider, so he laughed on the spot, but he laughed without saying a word.

Wei Xuantong nodded with a smile and said, "Xue Gongzi, that Yao Yuanchong is indeed a talent. But he is still a shallow entry, why should he sharpen his head in such a hurry to squeeze into the center of the court? It is not a bad thing for him to hone and accumulate some governance experience in local states and counties. ”

Xue Shao hugged his fists and bowed, "Yiqiē, of course it has to be Wei Shangshu who has the final say." ”

Wei Xuantong smiled and nodded, "With Xue Gongzi's words, the old man will feel at ease." In fact, when Yao Yuanchong participated in the scientific examination, the old man paid special attention to him, and once thought about accepting him as a protégé. But he was recommended by Xue Kegou, the servant of the household, and the old man was not good at winning people's love, so he didn't make a mistake. ”

How could Xue Shao not understand what Wei Xuantong meant-if you are willing to let Yao Yuanchong recognize me as a teacher, I will allow him to rise to the top!

"That's what a coincidence!" Xue Shao immediately said, "I have also heard Yao Yuanchong say more than once that he has always admired Wei Shangshu's talent and moral character. If you have the opportunity, I can introduce you both. ”

Wei Xuantong smiled knowingly, "That Xue Shilang's ......"

"Rest assured, my uncle is the most magnanimous and reasonable. If I have to say something, he will definitely not have any opinion! Xue Shao said with an oath.

"Okay, okay." Wei Xuantong was not pretentious, and said cheerfully, "If the son can fulfill the old man's love for talents, the old man will be rewarded!" ”

"Don't dare." Xue Shao bowed his hand and said, "The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, why not do it?" ”

"Thank you, Childe!"

After chatting a few words, Xue Shao left the ministry. Along the way, he thought to himself that although Wei Xuantong has always had an excellent moral reputation for many years, no one in the officialdom will do things that are meaningless and unbeneficial. Especially when it comes to the ashes of Wei Xuantong's level, there is absolutely no living Lei Feng. Now Wei Xuantong would actually take the initiative to accept Yao Yuanchong as a student, is it really just because of his talent and ability? …… At the court meeting that day, Emperor Li Zhi slapped the face of the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan by cleaning up Wei Xuantong's crook, Wei Xuantong must have come to his senses, so he came up with a trick to get closer to our "circle" through the intermediary of Yao Yuanchong, that is, to move closer to the emperor's majesty!

It can be seen that in the eyes of many courtiers, the people in our "circle" are all the henchmen of the emperor's majesty!

…… So what will Wu Zetian think?

Xue Shao couldn't help patting his head, the two saints competed, and it was difficult for the courtiers to do it!

"Xue Gongzi, this way!" was pondering that someone shouted at the corner in front of him, it turned out to be Guo Yuanzhen.

"What?" Xue Shao stepped forward and asked.

"We have changed our official credentials, and of course we have to change our official uniforms!" Guo Yuanzhen said excitedly, "The military uniform of Qianqi is a five-color robe inherited from the hands of Emperor Taizong, and it is completely different from the military uniforms of other palace guards. We are all waiting for you here, let's go to the Shangyi Bureau to customize new official uniforms and robes, and we have to go to the Ordnance Inspector to use new armor swords and arrows! ”

"Okay, let's go together!"

A group of people happily went to the Shangyi Bureau, and immediately a tailor came to tailor it for everyone. Xue Shao started first, but the tailor refused to make him a five-color robe, saying that Princess Taiping specially instructed that no matter what official position Xue Yuma was transferred to in the future, he could only wear Huadian embroidered clothes! - "Since you're here, why don't I buy you a few sets of autumn and winter embroidered clothes!" ”

Xue Shao had no choice but to agree. Everyone laughed, saying that it is estimated that everyone in Chang'an will definitely be able to know the "strangely dressed" Xue Concubine!

After some tossing, it was dusk. Everyone dispersed, and Xue Shao also returned to Princess Taiping's mansion.

Today, Princess Taiping did not wait for Xue Shao in front of the courtyard, but sat in the main hall of the front mansion in a daze.

When Xue Shao walked in, she found that she was holding a beautiful empty box in her hand, which was exactly the same as the one sent by Wu Zetian that day.

"An Ran, what are you looking at when you have nothing to do?" Xue Shao asked curiously.

Princess Taiping asked suspiciously, "Xue Lang, did you do something to make your mother unhappy?" Just now, she sent someone to deliver such an empty box. ”

"What?" Xue Shao was surprised, picked up the box and took a closer look, there was no mezzanine and nothing special, it was a beautiful box containing high-end jade and luxury treasures.

"What was my mother's purpose in sending two of these empty boxes in quick succession?" Princess Taiping was full of apprehension, "Xue Lang, I haven't been at home recently and haven't asked about the outside world, what happened in the court?" ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly, and briefly told Princess Taiping about his experience before and after being transferred to Qianqi.

Princess Taiping was stunned and showed a hint of trepidation, "Xue Lang, aren't you afraid of offending my mother by doing this?" ”

Xue Shao spread his hands, "I am a little loyal to the left, and I offend the queen of heaven on the right, and there will be people in the middle of the station who say that I am a treacherous mouse at both ends - what can I do?" What should I do? ”

"......" Princess Taiping was speechless.

Xue Shao frowned and looked at the box for a long time, and Princess Taiping suddenly said: "The eunuch who delivered the box is still waiting for you to reply outside!" ”

"Talk back?" Xue Shao blinked, "Someone, please come in!" ”

The eunuch came in and bowed his hand and said, "Xue Concubine, the Queen of Heaven specially ordered the villain to ask the last question, did the concubine like the two gifts before and after?" ”.
