Chapter 12: Ten Days of Leisure

In this world, nothing is set in stone, both in the past and in the future. 【No pop-up novel network】【Please remember me】

This is nonsense, but nonsense is often the truth.

Regarding the changes of Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, Xiao Mo also comforted himself with such nonsense, and did not show that emotion, but after asking a few words in detail about the situation of the two of them, he praised a few words and encouraged a few words, while Xiao Huan and Fan Guan repeatedly promised that they would not embarrass Xiao Mo, and they would regard Xiao Mo as Zhan Yunyun in the future.

The tone and context of the conversation between the three of them, unexpectedly, have become more and more like officialdom.

Xiao Mo was still a little unaccustomed to it, but looking at Xiao Huan and Fan Guan's faces as a matter of course, he couldn't change it, so he could only go with the flow.

In fact, Xiao Mo has always considered the arrangement of Xiao Huan and Fan Guan.

Although Xiao Huan is a little reckless and straightforward, he is honest and responsible, and he is extremely serious and down-to-earth, and it is appropriate to do things for the tedious and fragmented households.

And Fan Guan has always been unscrupulous, mean-spoken, poisonous and skillful, and good at grasping people's handles, going to other places to be an official will only offend people for no reason, but the position of "no matter what you do and just scold people", is a natural match.

The important thing is that the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, and the imperial history platform is in charge of officialdom, which are both important ya-n of the imperial court, Xiao Mo also needs two people he can trust, and he doesn't need much authority or ability, but at least let Xiao Mo know the news he should know in time, so as not to become blind and deaf in the officialdom.

Therefore, for the future arrangements of the two, Xiao Mo has already had a plan in his heart.

After seeing Xiao Mo Shen y-n for a while, he first said to Xiao Huan: "Now that the northern states have been fighting for the first time, there are countless displaced people, and there are all kinds of wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and it is the time when the household department needs help to provide relief and pacification. In a few days, I will promise Your Majesty that you will be in charge of this matter. Of course, with your current official position and qualifications, it is unlikely that you will be able to take charge of the overall situation, but I am still sure that I will be able to serve as an inspector and be responsible for the relief and pacification of the displaced people in a state. Therefore, these days, you don't have to worry about other things, learn more from those seniors in the household department to learn the ability to settle displaced people, transfer money and food, and take a look at the relevant files of previous years, and you won't know anything when the time comes. ”

After a pause, Xiao Mo assured: "If you can do these things well, it will be a great achievement, and it will be natural for you to be promoted to the first class when the time comes." ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's assurance, Xiao Huan was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you Brother Xiao, I will not let Brother Xiao down." ”

"It's more polite again, you and I don't pay attention to these vulgar etiquette, so you don't have to be polite."

Xiao Mo raised his hand and said with a smile.

After Xiao Huan sat down, Xiao Moshen had already changed to apologies, and said to Fan Guan: "Brother Fan, I promised Your Majesty that day that you go to the Imperial History Terrace to serve as the Imperial History, but I consider that your -NG is too straight, and go to other Ya-N as officials, I am afraid that I will offend people and be excluded, and it is appropriate to go to the Yushitai to serve, but I ignore the place of the Imperial History Tower, although there is freedom of speech, but there is no power and power, Qing Shui Ya-n does not say, it is difficult to be promoted, all rely on seniority to fight for prestige, just like today, I have the means to let Xiao Huan go further, But there is nothing that can be done about how to protect you. You...... You won't blame me for that, will you? ”

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Fan Guan hurriedly denied it and said: "Brother Xiao, although this Yushitai is said to be Qingshui Ya-n, it is easy and happy, and its responsibilities are exactly in line with mine." I didn't go to the second-class jinshi I just raised, and the ranking was not high, and I was able to hold the position of the seventh grade imperial history, all by Brother Xiao's promotion, and now I don't know how many classmates I envy, where can I be so dissatisfied, but complain? ”

On the other side, Xiao Huan also couldn't stop nodding yes. (Please.)

Remember)

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "You have only been an official for a few months now, your horizons are not broad, and you don't know the pros and cons, so you will naturally say so, but I am afraid that I will not think like this in the future, but now I have no trustworthy people in my Yushitai, I am afraid that I will have to wronged you to stay there for a while longer, and when it stabilizes in the future, if you have the heart to go to other ya-n as officials, then tell me that I have my own way." ”

In fact, seeing Xiao Mo's assurances to Xiao Huan, but only a soothing thing to himself, Fan Guan boasted that he was higher than Xiao Huan in terms of ability and talent, although he would not complain about Xiao Mo because of this, but it was still a little unbalanced, so for Xiao Mo's promise, Fan Guan did not shirk, but just nodded yes.

Ren Xing, the governor of Nakuozhou, is a thin young man with a good demeanor, bright eyes, and quite bright.

Seeing that Xiao Mo valued Xiao Huan and Fan Guan so kindly, and envied them, Ren Xing also had the heart to behave, and after coughing lightly, he said: "Scholar Xiao, in fact, the Yushitai does things, although there is not much oil and water, but if you want to move left, there is still a shortcut, as long as you find the right direction, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Yushitai is the place where my Da Chu is promoted quickly." ”

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned and said, "There is still such a thing?" I have been an official for less than a year, and during that time, I have spent most of my time fighting the enemy, and I don't have much experience, and I don't know much about the situation of the Imperial Historical Tower, but I don't know how to pretend to understand here, and I ask Lord Ren for advice. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Ren Xing's heart jumped, thinking that his words had inadvertently offended Xiao Mo and lost Xiao Mo's face, so he hurriedly looked up cautiously, but saw that Xiao Mo did not look angry, but looked sincere, as if he was sincerely asking for advice.

Relieved, and deliberately showing his ability and insight in front of Xiao Mo, Ren Xing finally recovered the demeanor that a state pastor and a second-rank senior member should have, and said slowly: "Scholar Xiao is too modest, this kind of -n way, but it is an officialdom trail, your status is noble, you don't know something, and it is natural." But it is said that this Yushi Tai Ya-N, headed by the Imperial Shi Dafu, is the third product, under the Yu Shi Cheng two people, from the fourth product, and then the following are from the fifth grade H-Imperial History, from the seventh grade of the imperial history, from the seventh grade of the main book, is the eighth grade inspection of the imperial history and the genuine patrol. ”

After a pause, Ren Xing smiled at Fan Guan, but continued: "Although it is headed by the Imperial Historian, in fact, the only thing that the Imperial Historian can directly govern is the main book responsible for the auxiliary, the supervising Imperial History who is responsible for handling affairs, and the authentic patrol who is responsible for running the tui, and although the three positions of Imperial Historian, H-Imperial History, and Imperial History are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Historian, they want to impeach and supervise whom, but it is not the turn of the Imperial Historian, and the degree of freedom is great. It is precisely because of this that although the Imperial Historian is said to be the nominal chief, but the Imperial Historical Observatory, speaking may not necessarily count, and there is often a certain Imperial Historian because of his high prestige and high qualifications, so that the Imperial Historical Observatory responds to all calls, and who wants to impeach him, the entire Imperial Historical Observatory will be moved, but it is the Imperial Historian, either because of insufficient qualifications, or because of insufficient fame, there are few responders. ”

"I see." Xiao Mo nodded and continued to ask: "In this way, it is also wrong for me to let Xiao Huan take the position of imperial history. But I don't know, why did Lord Ren say that Yushitai was promoted quickly? I searched the history of Great Chu, but I didn't find anyone who was promoted quickly in Yushitai. ”

"If you go back to Xiao University, the Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for impeachment, and has the right to hear and say things, which is a sharp sword for successive emperors, used to deal with unaccustomed courtiers, and also a rope, so that the emperors are also tied. And the imperial history wants to be promoted, which is precisely this, as long as you figure out the thoughts of your majesty today, and your majesty is dissatisfied with which minister, you will take the lead in impeaching whom, and if you weigh your majesty's mind, you will be valued and promoted by your majesty. It's just that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and how can ordinary people guess? Even if you can guess once, where can you guess again and again? Sometimes, His Majesty reprimands a certain courtier, but in fact he is ready to reuse, and sometimes His Majesty makes a certain courtier an official knight, but in fact he has long been dissatisfied, but there is no table-, if the imperial historians rashly follow the trend, maybe it will be n-ng self-defeating. Therefore, if Yushitai wants to be promoted and reused, there is a shortcut, but this shortcut is not easy to find. ”

Ren Xing's words, all kinds of judgments on the emperor's heart, even if the Chu Dynasty "does not convict by words", can be called a sentence of punishment, and now talking about Xiao Mo is also a means of expressing loyalty.

On the other side, after hearing Ren Xing's suggestion, Fan Guan looked helpless and said: "Look at what you said, Lord Ren, all dynasties and dynasties, and all imperial histories, who can repeatedly guess the emperor's thoughts?" I'm just a newcomer to officialdom, and I haven't even seen His Majesty in person a few times, so what's the use of such a shortcut for me? ”

Ren Xing said with a smile: "Although Little Brother Fan doesn't know the Holy Will Heavenly Heart, if it is about who His Majesty is close to now, Scholar Xiao deserves it, Little Brother Fan doesn't know, Scholar Xiao still doesn't know?" If Scholar Xiao knows, doesn't it mean that Little Brother Fan knows? ”

Hearing Ren Xing's words, Fan Guan's heart suddenly dawned, and he was overjoyed.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Mo also nodded secretly, understanding that although Ren Xing was recalled to Beijing because of the crime of losing his land and being captured, he can now be regarded as powerless, and even precarious, feeling Xiao Mo's kindness to save him from the barbarians and the promise to help him get rid of his guilt and take the initiative to take refuge, but after all, the officialdom has been crawling for decades, and his vision and experience are far from being comparable to Xiao Mo's first hand.

Therefore, Xiao Mo attached great importance to Ren Xing, the governor of Kunzhou, as well as Zhao Shun, the Taishou of Jincheng, and Zheng Tong, the Taishou of Liangzhou City, and did not despise them because they had lost their land and were captured.

And the reason why Xiao Mo didn't care much about them just now was that he was blindly close to Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, not because of getting off the horse or anything like that, but to show Ren Xing and others how much he Xiao Mo valued and cared for the people close to his cronies, and also to let them understand how much benefit they would have in the future if they took refuge in themselves, as long as they were attentive.

Otherwise, an old fritter in officialdom like Ren Xing, his previous official position was not much worse than Xiao Mo, and his qualifications, age, connections, etc. were stronger than Xiao Mo, even if he took refuge, how could he be desperate to help Xiao Mo? I'm afraid that even if you really take refuge in Xiao Mo-n, you will inevitably despise it.

Knocking on the hint is inevitable.

Therefore, after encouraging Fan Guan for a few words, Xiao Mo had already turned his target to Ren Xing and the others.

For the disposal of these people, Xiao Moxin also had a plan.

"Lord Ren, Lord Zhao, Lord Zheng ......"

With Xiao Mo's words, Ren Xing, Zhao Shun, and Zheng Tong all shook their heads, sat up straight, and looked like they were listening respectfully.

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "The current situation of the three adults, I don't need to say more, the crime of losing land and being captured, although it is not your original intention, it is not to blame you officials, but your Majesty is angry, at that time, the barbarians were menacing, like a broken bamboo, my Great Chu has lost consecutive battles, and the loss of one city after another has made Your Majesty lose face, so someone must be responsible, although Your Majesty's anger has stopped a little, but the guilt is still inevitable, and when the court concludes after a while, it is estimated that the privy envoy Wang Han will not be happy, And ministers like you, who have lost their land and have been captured, I am afraid that they will also be implicated, degraded and degraded. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Ren Xing, Zhao Shun, and Zheng Tong were all serious, and slowly nodded yes.

These things, Xiao Mo can think of, and they can think of them.

Although Xiao Mo has promised to help them get rid of their crimes, at least they will be less guilty and will not be demoted to the people, but after all, he is uneasy, this visit is also on behalf of those officials who have the same position, to put some accurate words to Xiao Mo, ask Xiao Mo what he is going to do, and he is also prepared in his heart.

Seeing the three of them with serious faces, Xiao Mo smiled and said leisurely: "However, although someone will inevitably come out to be responsible, I am afraid that it will not be the turn of the three adults, at that time, the enemy army was strong and unstoppable, but the three did not lose their integrity, and never had the slightest idea of running away and fighting, so they were finally captured, although they were guilty, but they showed their loyalty." After being captured, the grassland barbarians respected several adults - guarding and talent, and tried every means to coerce y-u, trying to make several adults defect and take refuge, but several adults would rather die than give in. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Ren Xing and the three of them were stunned.

The reason why they were captured was not because they had no idea of running away and being timid, but because the barbarian coalition came too quickly and had no time to escape; The reason why they did not defect was not because they were loyal and would rather die than give in, but because the steppe coalition army was heavy on force and light on affairs, and there were not many ideas to make them surrender.

However, how did it change when it came to Xiao Mo's mouth?

Suspicious, the next moment, the three of them were already overjoyed.

No matter what the facts are, as long as Xiao Mo says so, it is the truth.

After all, it was Xiao Mo who rescued them from the Prairie Alliance, and it was Xiao Mo who was responsible for negotiating with the Prairie Alliance, and Xiao Mo was the one who was qualified to "decide the facts".

And as long as Emperor Chu Ling learned such a "fact", their guilt would inevitably be lighter.

However, their surprise was yet to come.

I saw Xiao Mo pause and then said: "What is admirable is the heart of the three adults for the country. After being rescued back to Shangyuan City, the three of them ignored their injuries and fatigue, and did not have the slightest intention of cultivation, but took the initiative to participate in the war in Shangyuan City, and had many strategies and suggestions...... In this way, although the three of them are guilty, they are not only loyal to my Dachu, but also have many remedies and meritorious deeds afterwards, and I think that after His Majesty learns about it, he will also understand the difficulties of the three adults, and he will not be embarrassed. ”

Obviously, this is another "fact" fabricated by Xiao Mo - after these three people were rescued by Xiao Mo back to Shangyuan City, they were in a panic all day long, how could they have the heart to plan for Xiao Mo?

But as I said before, Xiao Mo was in charge of the battle in Shangyuan City, and Xiao Mo said that they had made plans, so they did make plans.

According to the strategy of Xiao Mo's personal master Zhang Maozong, in order to let Ren Xing and the others completely return to their hearts, Xiao Mo didn't mind giving them some of his merits, anyway, the merits were more and more points.

And in this way, the three of them have a "loyal" foundation, and they have a "meritorious service after sin", although the guilt is still the same, but I am afraid that after Emperor Chu Ling learns about the situation of these three people, he will have a better impression of them than other innocent courtiers.

The benefits are needless to mention.

Thinking of this, the three of them were overjoyed, and got up to thank them again and again.

This kind of treatment, although Xiao Mo had already hinted, but after all, it was only a hint, and such an obvious and frank promise was the first time, which made them feel as if they had taken a reassuring pill.

On the other side, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan looked at Xiao Mo's eyes, but they were quite weird.

Before Xiao Mo appeared, they talked with Ren Xing and the others for a long time, and after Ren Xing and the others knew that they were Xiao Mo's old friends, they also intended to be friends, what did they say, so how could Xiao Huan Fan Guan not know about the experience of Ren Xing and others?

And Xiao Mo is so fabricated, there is no longer the free and indifferent of the past, where is the Xiao Mo they are familiar with?

At the beginning, Xiao Mo met with Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, and felt that Xiao Huan and Fan Guan had become strangers, but Xiao Huan and Fan Guan felt that Xiao Mo was still so Xiao Mo.

And now, not only Xiao Mo feels that Xiao Huan and Fan Guan have changed, but Xiao Huan and Fan Guan also feel that Xiao Mo has become stranger.

Perhaps, in this world, there is really nothing eternal and unchanging.
