After Shi Bufan went home, he didn't expect that someone would soon come to find him again.

"I've seen Shang Gong, I've seen Mr. Shi!" A female officer said.

This female official is the head of the Tang court, the person in charge of conveying orders to the court, and they are also responsible for the preparation of books for the personal consolation of the general emperor. However, this female official first saluted that Dugu Daxue, because Dugu Daxue was her boss. However, for Shi Bufan, he is only called "Mr.", because Shi Bufan's grade is only nine grades, if it weren't for the identity of Dugu Daxue, this palm would not have come to be so honorific Shi Bufan. It's like the leader's wife, although she may not have a higher status than you, but you must also respect it, otherwise your leader will give you small shoes. Therefore, this palm word does not dare to be too much, otherwise Dugu Daxue will be able to wear small shoes for her in the future.

"What are you here for?" Dugu Daxue asked.

"The prince asked me to send clothes to Shi Xiao Shulang, and the emperor said that autumn has arrived, so I came to send autumn clothes to Shi Xiao Shulang!"

"Deliver clothes?" Dugu Daxue's face suddenly became a burst of surprise, obviously feeling extremely surprised.

The man didn't stay long, he just left the clothes.

"Did the prince bring you clothes? Did the prince send you clothes? Dugu Daxue said in shock.

Shi Bufan replied indifferently: "Isn't it just to give clothes?" What's so rare? ”

Dugu Daxue immediately said: "This is the clothes given by the prince, and the prince will be the emperor in a few days, so it was given to you by the emperor." ”

Shi Bufan snorted: "Give me these, you might as well give me some money!" ”

Dugu Daxue said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send you autumn clothes, don't look worthless, but it means that you want to reuse it!" Originally, you took in the two county lords, which made the prince very dissatisfied. But now the prince has brought you clothes before he ascended the throne, which means that the prince has forgiven you and will not continue to care. Therefore, this means that you can get reuse, and you can continue to get reuse in the future, and the future is limitless! ”

To say that Dugu Daxue really attaches great importance to this time, and she is the happiest. Because this time Dugu Daxue was actually married to Shi Bufan, and if Shi Bufan was reused by Li Yuan, he could be gradually promoted and soared, so Dugu Daxue was not a grievance. But Shi Bufan actually died by himself, and chose to take in Li Jiancheng's daughter, which means that Shi Bufan has no future. And this makes Dugu Daxue very depressed, because in ancient times, which wife didn't want her husband to have a future, and didn't want her husband to become a marquis?

And Dugu Daxue's marriage to Shi Bufan was because of Li Yuan's book-making, so Dugu Daxue had no choice, so even if Shi Bufan didn't have any development prospects, he had to marry him. But now, Shi Bufan actually got Li Shimin's autumn clothes, which means that Li Shimin has planned to forgive Shi Bufan, which means that Shi Bufan can be reused by Li Shimin again, so that Shi Bufan's future will come back again. As long as her husband still has a future, of course she is happy as a wife. Of course, Dugu Daxue knew that the emperor gave clothes to his courtiers, although it may not be money and wealth, and it may not be an official position, but it is definitely an important reward. It shows that this courtier "Jane is in the heart of the emperor" is a very important courtier.

In many cases, "Jane is in the emperor's heart" is far more important than the official position, and with the emperor's attention, will you be afraid of having no official position?

"Hurry up and offer this garment and make it a family heirloom!" Dugu Daxue said excitedly.

"Hey, isn't it just a piece of clothing, after all? I have to add something holy to him, so that it will only increase his troubles! Shi Bufan replied.

Dugu Daxue immediately corrected and said: "This is a dress given by the emperor, but it's different!" ”

Shi Bufan shook his head lightly and obviously didn't speak, he didn't think so much about Dugu Daxue. This Li Shimin gave himself clothes, and this Shi Bufan knew very well what this meant and what it meant. Li Shimin gave this dress to himself, which means that he intends to reuse it, which means that the emperor still cares about himself. And this can be said to be "Jane in the emperor's heart", which represents the need to reuse. However, for Shi Bufan, this is actually the attention of the leadership, which is no different from the so-called leadership attention in later generations, and it does not use any sacred feelings. It's like a gift from the leaders of later generations, do you need such an exaggerated offering as a family heirloom?

However, for the ancients, the gift given by the emperor was really a royal gift, even if it was just an ordinary raged clothes, it should be regarded as a family heirloom. This is all caused by the ancient mythical imperial power and the deification of the emperor. However, Shi Bufan obviously does not deify the monarch as much as Dugu Daxue, and he doesn't think the monarch is powerful. What Shi Bufan recognizes in his bones is the rule of law, what Shi Bufan recognizes is the separation of powers, and what he recognizes is the mutual checks and balances of power. It is not the so-called supremacy of kingship, concentrating all power on the king and deliberately deifying the king.

Therefore, he didn't think much of the clothes Li Shimin gave him, and he didn't think it was a gift from Li Shimin. Status is earned by oneself, not given to oneself by the top. Although for others, Li Shimin's reuse of him may be a kindness to him, but Shi Bufan doesn't think so. If he didn't have the ability, would Li Shimin reuse him? This is a false proposition, all status, wealth and power are earned by oneself, not by one person. If you don't earn it, your power position and wealth will not be stable.

As a "North Drifter" in later generations, Shi Bufan believes in not a gift, not a gift of power given by someone. There are no "gifts" in this world, everything is earned by himself, even Li Shimin will not "gift" himself, because if he has no ability and cannot attract Li Shimin's attention, will Li Shimin "gift" himself?

Therefore, in the final analysis, everything was earned by himself, so he didn't think that this was Li Shimin's kindness to him. Of course, he is not stupid, although he thinks so in his bones, but he will not say it openly.

However, some people don't see it that way, especially a large group of people with red and white, and they all get the news soon.

"Shi Xiao Shulang, Shi Xiao Shulang!" "Mr. Shi ......"

Not long after the female officer who had finished giving Shi Bufan the clothes left, a large group of people immediately came over, and then came to give gifts to Shi Bufan. Shi Bufan looked at these people he didn't know to give him gifts, and snorted lightly.

Shi Bufan didn't go out to greet them, but let them stay outside, these guys obviously got the news in advance, and the two of them celebrated themselves. In the palace, what news can be blocked? These guys got the news that they had been reused by Li Shimin again, so they all hurried over one by one in the hope of touting and pleasing them, so that they could quickly burn the cold stove for themselves, the person who was valued again. Originally, everyone thought that Shi Bufan was disgusted by Li Shimin and had no future. But now Shi Bufan has once again won Li Shimin's attention, which can also be reflected in this gift of clothes.

They naturally don't think so, and naturally want to come over and make friends in advance, so this is conducive to making friends with powerful people in the future and gaining attention!

"Dugu Shanggong, this time Shi Xiaoshulang is really a double goal! Shall I just say it? Shi Xiaoshulang is so talented, how can he be despised by the prince? Let me see, what I said at that time, I said at that time that Shi Xiaoshulang would definitely be reused by the prince. What nonsense are you guys talking about, why did the prince despise Shi Xiaoshulang, isn't this speculation? Someone touted.

However, Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue secretly scolded: "Idiot! ”

Shi Bufan knew that this person was definitely going to be driven away, and he actually "fired the map cannon" so unceremoniously, this kind of person directly hit the face too much, and the person who was open-mouthed would definitely not be able to have a deep friendship. Although everyone thought that Shi Bufan had no future, and it was okay to discuss this kind of thing in private, but you actually talked about this kind of thing outside, this definitely slapped everyone's face, and it was also a slap in the face like a map cannon, so even Shi Bufan didn't dare to have any friendship with this kind of person.

This kind of guy doesn't even understand the truth that the king is not secretive and loses his minister, and the minister does not lose his body, if this kind of person is reluctant to pull up, he will also lose his head.

"I really can't accept everyone's hospitality. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to send gifts to those who lack food and clothing? If you send it to me, then I won't need so much, since everyone is willing to do so, then I don't mind using these things to give the people some food and clothing, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for everyone. Moreover, this wealth was originally taken from the people, and it is also possible to use it for the people. Shi Bufan said.

Those officials who came to give gifts were also speechless, Shi Bufan actually refused to accept the gift, and directly wanted to exchange it for money to give to ordinary people in person. Obviously, Shi Bufan didn't plan to make deep friendships with these people, he completely regarded these guys as outsiders, and he didn't plan to be deep friends.

And those guys are gone.

"Why did you drive them away? Although they are of a lower grade, they are also court officials, if you have a stiff relationship with them like this, then what if it ......" Dugu Daxue said with some concern.

However, Shi Bufan snorted coldly: "These guys have been drilling these paths all day long, using all their thoughts into the palace, and then staring at the palace at any time, wanting to see what news comes out of the palace." And then according to these, hurry over and tout, this kind of person will not have too great a future. Maybe at the bottom, you can rise by this means, but when you reach the top, you can't rely on this means. Drill camp, since ancient times, has never been able to live a lifetime by drilling camp. Iron striking has to be hard, they don't have enough ability to drill camp, even if they barely reach a high position, they can't sit still! Rather than socialize with these people who can't sit still, it's better not to befriend them as soon as possible, which will hurt us. ”

Dugu Daxue thought about it, and couldn't help nodding, because Shi Bufan's words were not wrong. Because these people who rely on the drill camp are playing intrigue and trickery. But maybe it's okay to play intrigue tactically, but to play intrigue strategically is to find death. Maybe at the bottom, you can rely on drilling camps and conspiracies to rise to power, but at the top, the drilling camps and conspiracies are useless. It must be upright, and it must rely on strength and political power to fight, and there is no room for too many conspiracies and tricks to rise to the top.

Although Li Shimin's Xuanwumen coup d'état seems to be a conspiracy on the surface, there is also his strength in it. Li Shimin has his own set of teams, which can easily take over the team of the previous officials, and he is not afraid of government turmoil. Moreover, Li Shimin has accumulated prestige by relying on foreign wars, which is why he can suppress those foreign ministers. Only Li Shimin can launch a mutiny and rule successfully, if Li Shimin's little brothers launch a mutiny, then it will be useless in the end, and they can't sit still.

The conspiracy still has to be supported by its own strength, and without strength, the conspiracy is a joke.

"Still, you're able to score two goals, and you're on your way to a future. Next, the crown prince, that is, the future emperor, can reuse you, which is very good! Dugu Daxue said.

As for Qin Jiarui next to him, he also said excitedly: "You can be promoted in the future, you don't have to worry about money, I will take care of the money for you." Don't worry about the money in the house, I'll help you get it right, just tell me what you want, don't worry about the money! ”

Obviously, even Shi Bufan's lover Qin Jiarui is willing to be reused and promoted, which is the most fundamental. No woman wants her husband to be a mediocre person, many women are willing to marry a talent, and few women are willing to marry a mediocre person. Maybe a man would rather marry a woman who is worse than himself, but a woman will never be willing to marry a man who is not as good as herself. Dugu Daxue had no choice, so she was given marriage by Li Yuan, but she still hoped that Shi Bufan would have a future. Qin Jiarui is the same, she doesn't want her husband to be a nine-grade petty official for the rest of his life, so he can't protect her wealth!

Wealth is moving, even Qin Jiarui hopes that Shi Bufan can be promoted, so as to ensure her wealth. Otherwise, she is a woman with no one to take care of, and her wealth will not be stable. Now, although people don't embarrass her for the sake of Dugu Daxue. But in the future, her wealth will become more and more abundant, and there will always be people who are stronger than Dugu Daxue, so that at that time, it may not be possible for Dugu Daxue to control as many people as a female official. Female officials have very little power, so they may not be able to control many people.

Only when Shi Bufan can be promoted and grasp more power can she protect her wealth as much as possible. Even if Shi Bufan does not abuse his power to help her, he must use his power to protect her wealth. If there is no protection of power, some bureaucrats can also clean up those businessmen at any time, and this is fundamental.

Even if many bureaucrats in later generations are not like this, it is still in the case of relatively perfect supervision and rule of law, let alone this ancient feudal era? Therefore, although Qin Jiarui does not need Shi Bufan to use power to help her make profits, he will definitely not exclude Shi Bufan from using power to protect her legitimate interests.

"You're all supporting me on my way up?" Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue said with certainty: "Yes! ”

Qin Jiarui also nodded, obviously approving. Although Dugu Daxue and Qin Jiarui are currently "rivals in love", even their relationship is complicated, and they can't really be called "like sisters". But the relationship between the two women is that of Shi Bufan, a man, and they also have "common interests" in front of Shi Bufan. They don't mind cooperating for a while in the common interest, which is also politics. Once the three of them are together, "politics" is also born. Even if there are many people in Shi Bufan's family, although the two women have some contradictions, they don't mind being extraordinary when they cooperate and help temporarily.

"Let me go up desperately? This, is it really a blessing for Seon to lose his horse? Shi Bufan sighed and said, obviously he didn't know whether his career would be a blessing or a curse!
