Chapter 140: The Olive Branch of the Ministry of Works
Guo Zifeng and Liu Chunyu naturally only promised on the surface, but they had another idea in their hearts. The rhetoric of the big man is the rhetoric, and he really did it - that is a fool.
Wei Qiao didn't break it, and said a few words to the two of them with a smile, and then listened to Shen Yutong explain the things in the palace.
The palace attendant history inspects Jinling, the palace attendant, deals with large and small miscellaneous matters, and everything must be clearly recorded in the record, and the regulations are clear.
Wei Qiao listened to Shen Yutong's introduction, and had a general understanding of the things in the palace.
After sitting for a while and eating, Wei Qiao sat down in the palace courtyard and began to turn over all kinds of folds. Some things are very interesting, some are boring, some are angry, some are sympathetic, and before you know it, two hours have passed.
"My lord, it's time to leave." Wei Qiao was in a trance, Shen Yutong walked to Wei Qiao's side and whispered in his ear.
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there were still some things tonight, nodded at Shen Yutong, stood up, and said with a smile: "Well, there is something at home, then I will leave first." ”
Shen Yutong naturally smiled and nodded.
Wei Qiao walked out, and several other people got up to watch. Wei Qiao went to say a word to Lin Fengzheng again, said goodbye to Niu Yilang, and went out of the Yushi Terrace.
The Wei Mansion wants to celebrate tonight, and Wei Qiao has to visit a few people.
Wei Qiao walked towards the door, thinking about who to invite tonight.
Qin Yun, Lin Fengzheng, Wei Qiao doesn't plan to invite, after all, it is a 'trivial matter' for the Wei family to survive the crisis and him enter the official career. People like Han Yuan Yiyun can be invited, and they don't have to worry too much. As for Fu Mingzheng and others, not to mention.
"Lord Wei?" Wei Qiao had just walked out of the gate of the Yushitai, and not far away in a sedan chair, a middle-aged man was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at him with a faint smile. The one who shouted was probably the people around him.
A big fat man in civilian clothes, his face seems to be gentle, but his eyes flicker from time to time.
-- He is a smart man with a fat stomach and a big brain.
Wei Qiao frowned slightly, his eyes flickering slightly. Immediately walked over with a smile, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what this adult is called?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, sat still, and said with a smile, "How do you know that I am an official?" Why not a businessman? ”
Wei Qiao smiled faintly and said, "The wrench in your hand, no matter how rich you are, you can't afford it." ”
The middle-aged fat man was stunned for a moment, looked down at the thumb of his right hand on his lap, and immediately smiled and said: "Lord Wei is really thoughtful, yes, this official is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhong Qi." ”
That wrench has the royal seal, which can only be worn when the second rank or above is in the court, and it must be given by the royal family.
Wei Qiao's expression was indifferent, but his heart flashed with surprise, and he hugged his fists and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Zhong." ”
The Ministry of Works, that's a second-class master!
Zhong Qi's expression did not move, his eyes flashed on Wei Qiao's body slightly, and his heart kept turning.
Regarding Wang Yuanhui's affairs, whether it was the teahouse or the officials just now, he knew everything clearly. With the gift of those two jade pendants, Wei Qiao has already surfaced, although many people have set their eyes on Wei Qiao, but they have not paid too much attention to it, after all, with Wang Yuanhui's forefront, many people have a bottom in their hearts, and they are not as worried and panicked as the first time.
But as soon as the news of the ministry came out, many people's minds changed. Wei Qiao was able to crush Wang Yuanhui to death one after another, or when he was just starting out, he was obviously much stronger than Wang Yuanhui, and more importantly, Wei Qiao has now been labeled as 'Fu'.
Once it is associated with the word 'Fu', whether they want to or not, many people can't sleep.
Zhong Qi's heart was spinning with thoughts, his eyes were examining Wei Qiao's body, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "Lord Wei is really young and talented, and his future is unlimited." ”
is different from Shao Yi's Maitreya Buddha, Zhong Qi's smile is very honest and pure.
But if Wei Qiao really regards him as honest and pure, then he doesn't have to mix it up, Wei Qiao looked up at Zhong Qi and smiled lightly: "Lord Zhong has won the award." ”
Since Zhong Qi didn't mention his intentions, Wei Qiao was happy to pretend not to know.
Zhong Qi raised his head and swept the gate of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and said, "What does Master Wei think of the Qingshui Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory?" ”
Wei Qiao smiled and said, "The lower official's family still has money, and the Qingshui Yamen is also just right." ”
Zhong Qi said again: "There is still a shortage of a waiter in my Ministry of Industry, and Master Wei's talent is the best in Jinling, and he is a future horse, so it is more than enough to serve as a waiter." How about it, Lord Wei thinks about it, if Lord Wei wants to come to my Ministry of Engineering, I will take care of everything for Lord Wei, and keep Lord Wei worry-free! ”
Zhong Qi also saw that Wei Qiao was not the kind of person who could fool casually, so he directly offered a bid.
Wei Qiao raised his eyebrows, these six servants are at least three grades, and the real power is in hand, and the Ministry of Industry is the kind of place where there is a lot of oil and water, and it is not easy to go there and not to make a fortune. And after two years of stabbing history, it is a big official.
However, Wei Qiao still smiled faintly and said: "Thank you Lord Zhong for your kindness, Xia Guan has just entered the Imperial History Terrace, so he will leave his job, it is really a little frivolous and frivolous, please forgive me." ”
Zhong Qi was not surprised, if it was so simple to buy Wei Qiao, he would not need to come forward with a dignified scholar.
Zhong Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Well, what Master Wei said is good. It's the official who didn't think about it. In this way, tomorrow night, Cuiyue Tower, this official will invite all of you to a banquet, and I hope that Lord Wei will also come when the time comes. ”
Wei Qiao's expression never moved, and he smiled lightly, "Lord Zhong, it's really unfortunate, there are some things at home that I really can't leave, and I hope Lord Zhong will bear with me." ”
Zhong Qi frowned slightly, he didn't expect Wei Qiao to give him this face, he felt that Wei Qiao's precautions seemed to be a little too much.
Wei Qiao didn't seem to see Zhong Qi's frowning, his face was always indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhong Qi saw that Wei Qiao's face remained unchanged, and he frowned and quietly relaxed, if the official did his job, he could collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing his face. The reason why he frowned was just to test Wei Qiao's reaction.
Zhong Qi's evaluation of Wei Qiao in his heart unconsciously went up several steps, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled again: "Wei Da is outstanding in talent, His Royal Highness King Jin has a young son who is just seven years old, and he is looking for a teacher with flawless character and outstanding talent, I think Wei Gongzi can be competent in both character and talent." What does Wei Gongzi think? If Wei Gongzi is interested, the official can recommend it to you. ”
First the servant of the ministry, then the banquet in the restaurant, and then the teacher of the young son of the King of Jin, in the blink of an eye, there were three huge sweet dates. If it weren't for the fact that Wei Qiao had already taken all kinds of benefits before, he really couldn't tell if he would be able to withstand such a temptation at this time.
Wei Qiao's brows furrowed, his head lowered, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and his eyes flashed.
Zhong Qi's eyes flashed when he saw it, and he said with a smile: "If Lord Wei can really educate the young son of His Royal Highness King Jin to become a talent, not to mention being in charge of the Imperial History Observatory in the future, it will be no problem at all to release the history of a state like Chongzhou and Tanzhou." Moreover, I heard that the emperor intends to merge the states and counties and set up a separate one, and what was released at that time was not just a thorn history. ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu heard that it is basically ** not far from ten. However, there is a premise in people's words, that is, to educate the young son of King Jin. If education is bad, then nothing!
Moreover, more importantly, once Wei Qiao enters the Jin Palace, he can only be at the mercy of others, life and death are left to others, and he can no longer advance and retreat freely like this, calmly.
Wei Qiao was extremely familiar with this kind of hidden sentence, and after Zhong Qi finished speaking, he continued to be silent, as if he was extremely embarrassed by the hesitation and struggle in his heart.
Zhong Qi frowned slightly, this time he really frowned. If Wei Qiao refuses to accept this, then the appetite is too great!
Zhong Qi felt a trace of displeasure in his heart, but this dislike was quickly suppressed by him. After all, as long as Wei Qiao really entered the Jin Palace, then he would have no way out, and he could only let the Jin Palace's fiddling! Everything promised before, it was empty words, a castle in the water!
Zhong Qi said with a smile on his face, "Lord Wei, this official doesn't say anything else, as long as you are willing to agree, this official will give you a guarantee, and within three years, let people release a state assassin history!" ”
A smile flashed at the corner of Wei Qiao's mouth, and he raised his head and said, "Thank you Lord Zhong for your kindness, Xia Guan just remembered that there are still some things to do, so I won't accompany you more, my lord, please take care of yourself." After saying that, Wei Qiao turned around and strode away.
Zhong Qi, who was originally smiling, suddenly stiffened, and his eyes flashed. The guards around his sedan chair immediately surrounded him, staring at Wei Qiao's back with extremely unkind eyes, as if they would rush over and take Wei Qiao at the sound of Zhong Qi's order.
Wei Qiao walked unhurriedly and calmly.
If someone takes the imperial history in front of the gate of the imperial history platform, not to mention that the imperial history platform will go crazy, the other yamen will also have the same hatred and hatred, and the cabinet and even the emperor will be angry, and the consequences will not be borne by ordinary people at all!
Two simple words: look for death!
Sure enough, Zhong Qi waved his hand with an extremely ugly face, forcibly suppressed his anger, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Wei Qiao's back wantonly, his teeth clenched, and his face twitched slightly.
"Young Master." Xu Mao stood not far from Weiqiao, facing Weiqiao.
Wei Qiao smiled, beckoned, and said, "Let's go, follow me to invite a few people." ”
Xu Mao immediately agreed, led the horse, said to a few sedan chair drivers, and followed behind Wei Qiao.
The four palanquin bearers were very happy today, and at the same time they were very relaxed, except for one trip in the morning. And today's food in Yushitai was very good, and they even drank a little wine, of course, they were a little addicted, and they didn't dare to drink more.
Xu Mao led the horse, followed Wei Qiao's side, frowned and said, "Young master, who is that person, why don't you talk and get out of the sedan chair?" ”
Wei Qiao smiled, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "The Ministry of Works, let me go to the Ministry of Industry to be a waiter, and said that he would invite me to eat and drink in the evening, and later said that I would be a teacher for the youngest son of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I would have a two-year history of stabbing abroad." How's that, arrogant, right? The young master didn't even think about it, and refused in one bite, domineering or not? ”
Xu Mao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he glared at Wei Qiao and said, "Young Master, why did you refuse without thinking about it?" ”
Even if he doesn't read much and has little knowledge, he also knows that what Wei Qiao's mouth is something that some people can't chase in their lifetime, a big pie.
Wei Qiao paced lightly and said with a smile: "Didn't you say, it's too rude to talk to people in a sedan chair." Moreover, I don't like it when a person always comes out of his mouth with something 'official' or 'official'. ”
