Chapter 99: Song Gongming's Life Choices (I)
"Liu Shangshu, I'm here to trouble you." When Song Gongming appeared in Liu Pet's office, he applied for official business, so when he spoke, he had a refreshing feeling of breaking the jar and breaking it.
Liu Meng specifically put Song Gongming's application at the forefront, if it was to be sorted out, Song Gongming would probably be photographed three days later. Because he saw the changes in things with his own eyes, Liu Meng felt that he wanted to help Song Gongming a little. Many things have changed completely beyond imagination, so much so that Liu Meng feels that Song Gongming is a little pitiful.
If it weren't for the speech of Sun Qing, the head of the household department, about the concept of loyalty, this matter would probably still be able to drag on for a while. Sun Qing's words completely intensified the contradictions, and also made Zhao Guanjia forcibly push forward the course of the matter. This process also cut off the possibility of communication between Song Gongming and the Ministry of Rites.
"What the hell is going on?" Liu Meng asked as if he didn't know anything.
"Xiong Shangshu told me that the official family had already decided on his proposal, so there was no way to change the personnel. If he said that, what else can I say. Anything is a joke. Song Gongming smiled bitterly.
Confirming what he heard with his previous judgment, Liu Meng was sure that his judgment was probably correct, and Xiong Shang took advantage of the current situation cleanly.
"Do you have any wishes? Which department do you want to go to? Liu Meng asked.
"When I get to Brother Liu, brother, what else can I say. I will do whatever Brother Liu arranges. Song Gongming seemed to have finally broken free from the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and his attitude became relaxed.
"The original errands were all in charge of the left and right prime ministers, but now there are no left and right prime ministers, and the officials directly manage the ministries. So the errand schedule changed. The authority of the Ministry of Officials has not changed much, mainly to evaluate officials. Liu Meng introduced the scope of his work.
"Then how can I have a new messenger? Do you go directly to the official? Song Gongming asked patiently.
This is the Song Gongming in Liu Meng's impression, reasonable. Liu Meng was actually a little puzzled, why Song Gongming would get to that extent in the Ministry of Rites. Putting aside these doubts, Liu Meng said: "The current situation is such that because all the officials and cadres in each system have been put under one system, seniority has become more important. What was your main job before you came to the Ministry of Rites? ”
"Mainly about education. After arriving at the Ministry of Rites, he was also responsible for some work related to the imperial examination. Song Gongming replied.
"In that case, I suggest you apply to the new Ministry of Education." Liu Meng gave more professional advice.
Song Gongming thought for a while, frowned and said, "Brother Liu, we are now all assigned positions, powers and responsibilities, and personnel by various departments. Then it was proposed to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials recruited them in a unified manner. Will I be embarrassed after I suddenly jump? ”
"You sign up first, and what happens to you. To think now that everything is foolproof is to be foolish. Liu Meng replied very simply. He didn't want to promise anything about it, Liu Meng felt that the world was unpredictable, and after seeing Song Gongming's case, he was more sure of his thoughts.
"Good. That's what I do. Song Gongming replied.
"Go to the office section chief Zhao, and he will tell you how to write an application." Liu Meng wrote a note to Song Gongming as he spoke.
took the slip and found Section Chief Zhao, and Song Gongming quickly completed the application procedures. After finishing these, Song Gongming returned to the Ministry of Rites in a leisurely manner. Seeing the signboard of the Ministry of Rites, Song Gongming was still uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be overwhelmed so easily after working hard for so long.
The conversation with Xiong Shang was not going well. Xiong Sheng did not back down in using the newcomer to negotiate with Mongolia, and Song Gongming didn't want to make the slightest concession, and in the end the two broke up unhappily.
With such a boss, Xiong Shang no longer thinks about what development he can have in the Ministry of Rites. As far as the bear of the Ministry of Rites is concerned, how can he be promoted if he does not have the credit that can be valued by the Zhao official family. As for the other errands of the Ministry of Rites, they are all about various activities. Theoretically, this kind of activity can make some money, but everyone knows that the Zhao official family is not interested in false tricks. It's not a good prospect either. So Song Gongming was ready to jump ship decisively while he still had merit.
made such a decisive decision, thinking that he was leaving the Ministry of Rites as a loser, Song Gongming's mood was still very uncomfortable. After entering the Ministry of Rites, as soon as he walked to the door of his office, he saw Su Yong and Du Zhen coming out of their office, and Song Gongming knew that this young man would be the new messenger. For these two young people, Song Gongming doesn't hate them. From all angles, these two have the qualifications to go to the negotiations. Their academic qualifications are okay.
"Brother Song, can we treat you to dinner." The two asked with a smile.
Song Gongming said briskly: "Come to my office." Let me tell you about my experience as a previous mission. ”
The two didn't expect Song Gongming to be so easy to talk to, so they hurriedly followed him into the office. At this time, the two were afraid that Song Gongming would not help, so they moved a chair and poured water for him. Song Gongming didn't hide his secrets, so he told the two of them about his previous experience. Hearing the situation of the envoy, the two young men nodded again and again, and Su Yong sighed: "I didn't expect to make so many preparations!" I thought negotiation was all about doing whatever you wanted. ”
"Don't read so many comments. Read more history books. You see Lin Xiangru Lian Po Liebiography, how much preparation Zhao Guo made for the Michi Meeting. Under the condition of complete preparations, Lin Xiangru dared to force King Qin to attack. The so-called anger has to be useful. If the Mongols don't take us seriously at all, you will act violently, and they will just drive you away. ”
"Didn't you kill it?" Du Zhen was surprised by the degree of civilization of Mongolia described by Song Gongming.
Regarding the young man's boundless imagination, Song Gongming said with a smile: "Mongolia attaches great importance to the safety of the envoys. As long as the messenger did not carry out the assassination, they would not kill the messenger. And what's the use of killing you for the Mongols. You haven't accomplished anything, and you've lost a lot of rudeness over there, do you think you can still have a future? ”
Su Yong replied: "It turns out that the envoy is not so dangerous. I thought the Mongols were so barbaric that if you argued with them a little, they would kill people in anger. They didn't dare to kill the Great Song envoys, just because our Great Song was able to take revenge on the Mongols. ”
"That's certainly a reason. But don't think about what has already happened. In the current situation, you just have to do your own thing. When the imperial court has a goal, it will send an envoy......"
In the next two days, Song Gongming taught the two young people everything he knew. Anyway, he was already ready to leave, so why hide his secrets. Song Gongming has an opinion on Xiong Shang, but he has no opinion on the Ministry of Rites.
On the third day, Xiong Sheng called Song Gongming. first asked Song Gongming about the help he had given to the young envoy in the past two days, and then Xiong Sheng said: "Recently, we will carry out propaganda on soil and water conservation. Would you like to take care of this? ”
