Loose officials below the sixth grade, it is considered a low-level official, and the appointment only needs to be drafted through the selection of officials and go through the routine review procedures, Fang Xuanling is the left servant of Shangshu Province, and he is the commander of the three departments of household rites, this little thing can be solved casually, and naturally there is no need for Li Shimin to make an order in person.

In less than a month, he was promoted to one level, such a speed is quite eye-catching, but it is not outrageous, but after all, he was directly appointed by Bu Yi Bai as the secretary and supervisor of the school, which is already an exceptional hiring, and he was promoted again in a short period of time.

The next day, braving the drizzle of spring, he came to the imperial city by car, holding a delicately made oil-paper umbrella, walking slowly in the rain, and seemed to be a little unrefreshed.

After recovering a little spirit, Han Rui didn't wipe it, and walked into the government office quickly, not too early or too late, he signed in, greeted his colleagues, sorted out the book materials and so on, copied a few pages of papers, and wondered whether to go to the carving workshop to see the situation.

At the right time, Shangguan Yi appeared in front of the house and beckoned, "Han Xiaoshu, come here." ”

A group of colleagues looked at it, but they didn't care, and continued to be busy with their own affairs, and Han Rui did the same, and walked away with a smile, thinking that Shangguan Yi had some materials that he needed to help sort out.

Secretary Lang, among the secretaries and supervisors, belongs to the middle-level leaders, and naturally has his own office house, the difference in level, the difference in treatment, and the existence of all of them, Han Rui has no time to think about whether this hierarchical system is reasonable, and when he heard the news conveyed by Shangguan Yi, he was a little stunned.

"Add the official undertaker, go to the ministry for the record......" Han Rui was a little surprised, he didn't expect the pie to fall on his head so quickly, he originally thought that at least he would have to wait until the movable type printing was completed and the matter after the report was presented.

"That's right, congratulations." Shangguan Yi congratulated, and suddenly found that Han Rui's expression was abnormal, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, I'm not happy when I am promoted?" ”

"Of course not." Han Rui smiled: "I feel a little sudden...... "After all, Chu Liang and the others are just verbally commended, how come they came to their own place, but they were promoted."

"The Qujiang banquet was a success, Your Majesty is satisfied, and feels that you have the ability and can be reused, so you will naturally be rewarded and promoted." Shangguan Yi said as a matter of course, he deeply understands this, two or three years after he was in office, he was only a low-level official, and after being appreciated by Li Shimin, he became a secretary in another two or three years.

Although there has been no movement in the past two years, Shangguan Yi is satisfied, after all, he is less than thirty years old, he is said to be long, he doesn't have to be too hasty, his steps are steady, he can go long, he runs too fast, he is easy to fall, not to mention, he may not reach the top, and he will not have the strength to move forward halfway, thinking of this, Shangguan Yi feels that it is necessary for him to remind Han Rui.

But how should I remind it, Shangguan Yi had a headache, some hesitation, and poured cold water on people when they were happy, which seemed to be a little unkind, and it was easy for people to misunderstand, and he groaned, Shangguan Yi said: "Twenty-one Lang, the promotion is gratifying, but ......"

"Understood." Han Rui said with a smile: "I won't get carried away, the reason why I have achieved this is because of the selfless help of my colleagues in the government department, and if there is no guidance from Secretary Yu, Young Supervisor Yan, Xiao Shulang, and Shangguan Secretary Lang, it is impossible to successfully complete the errand assigned by His Majesty, as for me personally, in this matter, I have only done some insignificant work, which is not worth mentioning at all, how dare I be proud of my achievements......

sprinkled with joy, a large number of thank-you speeches, but Shangguan Yi shook his head with a wry smile, interrupted and said: "Okay, you just know it in your heart, you have been promoted, when are you going to have a treat?" ”

"Let's say it." After thinking about it, Han Rui said with a smile: "It's just right, let's do it with the joy of housewarming, so that you don't have to come to fight the autumn breeze again." ”

"Found the house?" Shangguan asked curiously.

"Yesterday, I fell in love and made a contract." Han Rui nodded with a smile and explained: "Rented, people are unwilling to transfer, so they can only settle for it first, and then make plans later." ”

"That's fine." Shangguan Yi smiled heartily: "This can be regarded as double happiness, I can't cheap you, where are you going to set up a banquet, I heard that a new restaurant has opened in Xishi, and the orchid serves wine, which is very exciting, and people will not want to return......"

"Wow, it's just a matter of fighting the autumn wind, and it is too much to want to take the opportunity to blackmail."

After chatting for a while, Han Rui said goodbye and retired, preparing to report to the ministry, on the surface, his demeanor was calm, but in fact, it could be seen from his brisk steps, Han Rui's mood was also quite excited, this is also human nature, presumably only a saint can maintain a calm mood when he is promoted and rich.

However, there is no even the most basic state of joy, anger and sorrow, what is the meaning of being a man.

In a happy mood, Han Rui came to the Ministry of Officials, and explained his intentions, naturally there were scribes in front of him, and he went to the Ministry of Officials for annotation and approval, and after reporting to the Ministry of Officials for review, Han Rui was a justifiable eight-grade official, that is to say, all the treatment in the future, official robes and salaries, are calculated according to this standard.

After completing the formalities, Han Rui was about to go back, but a scribe came over and said, "Han Xiaoshu, the left servant is invited." ”

Stunned, remembering who the left servant of Shangshu Province was, Han Rui hurriedly responded, and under the gaze of a group of scribe officials, he walked towards the place where Fang Xuanling dealt with government affairs, because Li Shimin once served as Shangshu Ling, Shangshu Province in the Tang Dynasty did not set up orders, and the left and right servants presided over the work, but the Tang Dynasty respected the left, and the left servant shot was actually equivalent to Shangshu Ling, that is, the prime minister.

There are many famous prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, there is Fang Du in the front, Yao Song in the back, the first recommendation is naturally Fang Xuanling, it can be said that it is a plan, the work of the community, the general leader of the hundred divisions for nine years, the position of the prime minister is still so solid, irreplaceable, such a big man, Han Rui has met a few times, but between each other, there is not much communication, today is looking for himself, it will not be for idle chat.

Han Rui guessed, walked slowly, entered a spacious house, the first thing that caught his eye was a mountain of copywriting materials, stacked in rows, crowding the bookshelves and cabinets, just in the midst of these mountains of copywriting, behind a small and old plan, Fang Xuanling put a pen tube, carefully reviewed the folds, brushed a little bit, and the speed was fast.

Seeing Fang Xuanling's attentive appearance, Han Rui hesitated, did not open his mouth to remind, but stood next to him and waited, after a while, after dealing with the twists and turns, Fang Xuanling reached out and took a sip of the cup, but found that there was no water in the cup, and he was about to call when he looked up, when he saw Han Rui, his eyes flashed with doubt, and then he reacted and said with a smile: "Coming?" ”

The tone was casual, there was no deliberate arrogance, indifference, hypocrisy, and no apology for letting Han Rui wait, just ordinary greetings, but showing sincerity.

Han Rui hurriedly saluted and said, "Xiaguan pays a visit to the prime minister." ”

"Sit." Fang Xuanling bowed slightly, stretched out his hand, waited until Han Rui sat down, and said gently: "Han Xiaoshu, abide by his duties, and do not claim credit, it is extremely rare. ”

Speaking is a word of praise, just abide by your duties, what does it mean not to take credit for yourself, Han Rui was a little inexplicable, and said vaguely: "The lower officials are young and dull, and they will inevitably act poorly, and they should not be praised by the prime minister." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, handed over the book, and said gently: "After the old man read the policy you submitted to promote education, he felt that it was reasonable, so he presented it to His Majesty, which won the emperor's ......heart."

What does it mean, Han Rui didn't know why, when did he present the fold, with a confused mood, he carefully took the fold and looked at it, naturally it was Ma Hao's book that took the opportunity of movable type printing to promote education, but now the place where the fold was signed was clearly marked with Han Rui's name.

Half-loud, Han Rui's expression was strange, and he hesitated and said, "Fang Xiang, this is not my ......"

"Your Majesty admires Han Xiaoshu's hard work and not fighting for fame and fortune." Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said meaningfully: "But sometimes, what should be fought for is still to be fought for, so as not to let people take the lead, then it will be regretted." ”

Han Rui looked up, confused, as if he understood a little, but more confused.

"By the way, Your Majesty's meaning, you don't have to do anything, since you put forward the plan, then I'll leave it to you to deal with." Fang Xuanling said: "But the matter is quite important, the old man sent a few officials of the Ministry of Rites to assist you, if there is any problem during the period, just come and report to the old man." ”

Han Rui hurriedly responded, listened to Fang Xuanling's suggestion, and after a while, the matter was explained clearly, and he retreated, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his expression was a little complicated, and when he left for a while, Fang Xuanling's sigh seemed to be absent from the room: "The officialdom is turbid, hopefully, in a few years, this pure heart will not be consumed." ”

Out of Shangshu Province, Han Rui did not hesitate, and went straight to the carving workshop, after all, the matter of movable type printing, before the success was confirmed, he definitely did not mention it to anyone, overnight, but it alarmed the emperor, it is certain that it was not his own doing, so he can only find the reason in the carving workshop, vaguely, Han Rui feels that the matter should be related to Ma Hao, there is no evidence, just an intuition that does not need a reason.

Soon after, when he came to the secluded carving workshop in the place, Han Rui called out, and a few carving workers appeared inside, with a completely different attitude from yesterday, and he saluted respectfully, full of enthusiasm, and sincerely welcomed.

didn't have time to worry about this, Han Rui asked, "What about Ma Hao?" ”

Several carvers looked at each other, shook their heads one after another, and were busy carving, who would pay attention to him.

A clever carver hurriedly ran to the scrivener's room to watch, and hurriedly ran back after a while, and said strangely: "School scrivener, the horse head didn't come, and the room was very clean, even the luggage was gone." ”

Hearing this, Han Rui became more and more sure of his guess, went to inspect it in person, looked at the empty yafang, recalled Fang Xuanling's words just now, and gradually, he was able to figure out what happened, just when Han Rui was thinking about whether he should sigh in melancholy and express his feelings, a voice of ecstasy came from outside: "School Shulang, you have become a ......"
