Chapter 792: Li Yifu

Wang Ping'an walked quickly to Menxia Province, and as soon as he entered the yamen, he shouted: "Gentlemen, do you have any important official business, the prime minister is free today, you can use the seal!" ”

The officials in Dongtai were taken aback, how did they do it, why did the prime minister suddenly come to work, and he still had to use the seal? The officials hurriedly came out of their respective rooms, and said that there was no important official business, and even if there were, they were all sent to Shangshu Province and approved by the eldest grandson.

Wang Ping'an didn't even enter the lobby, and said with a smile: "There is no official business, that's great, it's worth it, you guys should go home early!" With that, he turned around and left.

The officials in Dongtai looked at each other, okay, look at the prince of the people, how chic he is as an official, waving his sleeves and not taking away half of his official duties. The front foot enters the door and is considered to be on duty, and the back foot goes out is considered to be on duty!

Wang Ping'an left the palace and rushed to Shangshu Province. Shangshu Province is not the same as his Menxia Province, the officials are busy, in and out, but not like Menxia Province, the officials are sitting in the house, waiting for the next duty to go home and hug their wives.

Wang Ping'an entered the yamen, beckoned an official, and asked, "Can your eldest grandson be in the yamen?" ”

The official grinned and thought to himself: "This prince is really funny, it's just a matter of asking me, it's your eldest grandson who is asking?" Doesn't he know who I am? ”

The official smiled and said, "Prime Minister Wang, don't you recognize the lower officials?" The subordinate serves in the province of the sect, and he is your direct subordinate! It's just that you are not in Dongtai to handle official business, so the lower official has no choice but to bring the official document to the eldest grandson, and he will review it on his behalf! ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, remembering that this official had met him by name. He said, "Well, you recognize your true nature, that's good." This prime minister just tested you, let's see if you recognize me, the official. Great, you passed the test. ”

The official smiled again, turned around, and said, "Lord Changsun is not in the lobby, but in the second hall in the back, a meeting is being held for the officials of the household department, so that they can raise the food and salary needed for the expedition of the army, and you can see him as soon as you enter." ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and walked inside, the official looked at his back from behind, his lips moved, and he wanted to follow, say a few more words to Wang Ping'an, and report his name, so that Wang Ping'an could leave an impression of himself. But thinking about it again, Wang Ping'an doesn't care about anything, even if he knows his name, he won't promote himself. The official shook his head, walked out of the gate of Shangshu Province, and wanted to rush back to Dongtai.

He was just about to get into the car, when he suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance, looked up, and saw a carriage coming in the distance, and a head poked out of the window, which was actually Xu Jingzong, the former Chinese scholar.

The official had a smile on his face, hurried to meet him, and without waiting for the carriage to stop, he hugged his fists and said, "Lord Xu, we haven't seen each other for many days, have you always been good?" It seems that you are blessed again, and you must have a good life! He followed the carriage for a few steps, and when the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Shangshu Province, he opened the door and helped Xu Jingzong get out of the carriage.

Xu Jingzong really had a good time these days, as smooth as he was, and every day was as if he was in heaven. He loves money all his life, and the ultimate goal of being an official is to get rich, and even marrying his daughter has to calculate the money and gifts.

Originally, after Xu Jingzong was repaired last time, he thought that his life was over, and there was no future for him, but he didn't want Wang Ping'an to transfer him to the Inspiration Temple to be responsible for the construction of the Tongtian Floating Slaughter, and from the repair of the Tongtian Floating Slaughter, countless businesses were derived. At this moment, Xu Jingzong is like a fish in water, for him, he has money every day, which is much more comfortable than being an official in Zhongshu Province. For him, it doesn't matter how much money is hidden at home, but how much money is controlled is the most important thing, especially if he can control other people's money, it is simply a beautiful thing for him. What he is doing now is equivalent to the ancient financial career, playing with capital, which is exactly what he wants!

Xu Jingzong got out of the carriage with a red face, looked at the official in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Yifu, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are still in the province of Menxia as a pawn?" He saw that the official's official uniform was dark blue, and he was a petty official of the eighth grade, so he asked this question.

This official's name is Li Yifu, and he was a very famous person in Li Zhi's era, and he was nicknamed Li Mao, and he was Wu Meiniang's royal sycophant. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he should have become the official position of supervising the imperial history, but due to a slight deviation in history, his official position was not promoted, so now he is still a small provincial ritual, supported by others, doing some errand work.

Li Yifu is very embarrassed, he is not young, more than thirty people are rushing to four, he has ambitions, but he is still a petty official, it is also a helpless thing, there is no way, there is no appreciation from Shangguan, it is difficult to be promoted.

Laughing dryly, Li Yifu said: "Returning to Lord Xu's words, Xia Guan is still serving in Menxia Province, and I got the news some time ago that I could be promoted to supervise the imperial history, but somehow there was no movement." ”

"It's not a big deal to supervise the imperial historian, I have wronged the elder brother of the Yifu." Xu Jingzong patted Li Yifu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you have a quick mind, why don't you move, you are in the prime of life now, it is a good time to show your strength." By the way, now that Wang Xiangye is in charge of the province, he is the best person to speak, why don't you stutter? ”

The word knot was said by Xu Jingzong, as if it was a matter of course, if you want to be promoted, it is normal to talk to your boss, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Li Yifu was really not embarrassed at all, but sighed and whispered: "Lord Xu doesn't know, the king doesn't care about anything, he doesn't even go to the yamen, although the lower officials want to tie up, but there is no way out!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to the gate of Shangshu Province, raised his chin, and said, "I saw Wang Xiangye inside just now, and he actually regarded me as an official of Shangshu Province, and he didn't remember who I was at all!" ”

Xu Jingzong's old fritters, as soon as he saw Li Yifu's expression, he understood, since the two met just now, Li Yifu must have no interest in stepping forward to stammer, probably thinking that Wang Ping'an's official method is wrong and he can't be a long-term minister, so he doesn't have to stammer, it's useless.

Xu Jingzong said: "Brother Yifu, you are wrong, very wrong!" Do you think you have to work a lot to get promoted? is wrong, it is a meritorious person, so he can be promoted. Think about it, just because Wang Xiangye doesn't do any work, those jobs should have been done by the people below, he just used a seal, so what credit has been done in the province of the door must be counted on the body of the subordinate, Wang Xiangye does not divide at all, you yourself are in the province of the door, think about it, everyone says that he does not go to the office, but some people say that official business is delayed because of this, so as to say bad things about Wang Xiangye? ”

Li Yifu was stunned, he hadn't reached the level of Li Mao at this time, he was far less slippery than Xu Jingzong, but he understood it when he heard it. He nodded and said: "It's strange to say, no one really said that Wang Xiangye is not qualified to be the prime minister!" ”

Xu Jingzong spread his hands and said: "Isn't this enough, and other prime ministers will only seconded the proposal when they see Wang Xiangye, and they can't afford to be a demon son, which is equivalent to everyone sharing the power of him as the prime minister." You say, can other ministers not want him to save under the door, if he changes to someone else, won't he take the power back again, how boring it is! ”

Li Yifu suddenly understood and said: "It turns out that the trick of being an official is here, not what benefits I can get, but what benefits others can get because of me, so that I can keep rising!" ”

Xu Jingzong clapped his hands and smiled: "That's it, you have finally opened your mind." Wang Xiangye doesn't work, once there is work, he has to find someone to do it, he doesn't remember anyone, but he remembers a person's name, it's your Yifu brother's, isn't that life yours. When the work is done, you say that it was guided by Wang Xiangye, and Wang Xiangye is happy, can you not be promoted? Therefore, Wang Xiangye's thighs are thick and strong, you have to think about hugging them, don't let go! ”

After some pointing, Xu Jingzong said: "The old man has something to do when he comes to Shangshu Province, so let's go in, and the old brother of Yifu should hurry back, what should I do, find the right opportunity, and go up!" Hehe laughed a few times, and he entered Shangshu Province.

Li Yifu stood at the door for a long time, thinking: "Looking for an opportunity, I want to find an opportunity, but where is the opportunity?" ”

Wang Ping'an went to the second hall, and saw that Changsun Wuji was sitting behind the big case, and there was a large group of officials standing in front of him, so he didn't go in, but smiled at Changsun Wuji outside the door, and then stood aside, pretending to look at the scenery.

The eldest grandson Wuji understood that Wang Ping'an had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, either he didn't come, or if he came, there must be something, he waved his hand and said: "Let's discuss it here today, please be early tomorrow." ”

The officials immediately retired, and when they saw Wang Ping'an when they went out, they had some flattery, and Wang Ping'an played haha and perfunctory.

After entering the second hall, Wang Ping'an said: "Uncle, my nephew came from the Ganlu Palace, and I heard that the emperor said that he intended to let you parade on behalf of the Son of Heaven and preside over the expedition. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he stood up from the chair with a sigh, and an expression of surprise and joy instantly appeared on his face, but this expression came and went faster, and in a flash, he regained his calm. He didn't sit down anymore, but stretched out his arms, twisted his waist, and said, "I've been sitting for a long time, my back hurts, and I have to move!" ”

Wang Ping'an saw him hide the joy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is a tiring job, if you don't want to do it, you might as well push it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hummed and said, "If the emperor has a decree, as a courtier, how can he push it but not do it?" Are you like you as an old man, just know how to hide and be idle. After a pause, he asked, "What else did the emperor say?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "It is also said that the city gate is not related day and night, and it has the meaning of a hundred seas and rivers, and there is nothing else!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded lightly, thinking: "Parade on behalf of the Son of Heaven, this is a big event, there is no precedent in this dynasty, I have to find Chu Suiliang and them to discuss it." He said, "You came to tell the old man this?" ”
