Wu Huaisi finally managed to get to that position, and Zhao Ruxi really couldn't persuade him to leave; And after the coup d'état in the winter, he, the secretary of the ministry, will have to play a great role, and if he changes someone to sit in that position, Xiao Lingyan will definitely have a headache.

Gong Cheng is in the Ministry of Industry, he is a technical official, and he is not in line, far away from the political whirlpool, he should not be affected; Even if it is affected, it will not be life-threatening.

Now Zhao Ruxi wants to pull together and let go of foreign office is Wu Zong. Not only for Xiao Ruotong, but also because the two people who Wu Zong offended before would definitely not give up.

If they take the opportunity of political turmoil to engage Wu Zong, no matter how powerful Wu Zong is, he will not be able to resist these open and hidden arrows, and he may be on their way at that time. It's a terrible thing.

Therefore, Zhao Ruxi felt that it was best for Wu Zong to be evaded.

Moreover, although Zhao Ruxi does not mix with officialdom, she is also well versed in the way of rapid promotion in officialdom.

The jinshi in the new examination are generally eighth- and ninth-grade officials, and they are released to work for three years, and after the expiration of their term of office, they are transferred to the capital, and it is no problem to be promoted from the seventh rank. Wait for two or three years in the capital, and then release it, you can be directly appointed as the seventh grade or from the sixth grade; After three years, when I return to Beijing, I will be able to get five products.

Wupin Capital can go to court and enter the center of power. If you release it again, you can directly be the prefect of the four products.

has the experience and foundation of a Beijing official, and has the experience of being an official in a foreign office, and it is logical to go up to Sanpin.

It's hard to stay in one place and get promoted. can toss up and down like this, but the promotion is very fast.

Wu Huaisi's ability to rise to the first-class position of the official department in his forties is related to his ability and political achievements, but it also has a lot to do with his repeated tossing.

Wu Zong is now the fourth grade, because he has no experience in the outside world, it is extremely difficult to be promoted to the third grade, that is, it is not easy to have the emperor's appreciation and Wu Huaisi pushing him behind, which is a fatal shortcoming in his career.

So now going out and letting go of the foreign office is only good for him, and there is no harm in him.

"Second Senior Brother, what do you think?" Zhao Ruxi looked at Wu Zong with blank eyes.

Good drums don't need heavy hammers, and there are some things she doesn't have to say too clearly. She believed that Wu Zong knew.

Now it only depends on what Wu Zong himself thinks, whether he is willing to leave the capital.

Wu Zong and Kang Shilin glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ruxi didn't expect Wu Zong to agree so simply, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Immediately, she reacted and said happily: "Second Senior Brother, you agreed?" ”

"Hmm." Wu Zong nodded.

Gong Cheng laughed at this time and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Your second senior brother has already discussed with the master. Everyone is worried that you go to a strange place alone, and the old officials in those places are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they will inevitably bully you. So after thinking about it, your second senior brother decided to be an official on assignment so that he could take care of you. ”

Zhao Ruxi was moved.

Woo, what kind of immortal master and senior brother is this, how can it be so good?

Kang Shilin nodded: "But the official rank of your second senior brother is too far from you, who is just starting out, even if he is released, he will not be able to become your direct boss." You have to be mentally prepared for that. ”

"I know, I know. As long as the second senior brother covers me, it's no problem. Zhao Ruxi waved his hand and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "Ah, senior brother, you are really good." I couldn't be happier. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw her happy like a child.

"It's done. When I called you over, I asked you about it. You concentrate on participating in the palace exam, and you don't have to worry about the rest, with me and your senior brothers. Kang Shilin waved his hand and took out the painting scroll, "I'll look at the paintings you have painted." ”

Zhao Ruxi's eyes were quick, and he pulled out his painting scroll and hugged it into his arms: "Master, I suddenly have some kind of understanding. If I am not satisfied with this painting, I will not give it to you today. I'll wait until I get back and draw a new one, and then I'll send someone to bring it to you. ”

"Huh?" Kang Shilin didn't know why.

However, it is a good thing that the apprentice has some understanding, and he appreciates the pursuit of excellence, so he didn't say anything, nodded and said: "Cheng, it's not in a hurry, it's not too late for you to understand what you have realized and then paint." ”

"Uh-huh." Zhao Ruxi hugged his painting and nodded vigorously.

The second senior brother is so good, and he has become a big guy who wants to cover himself. She had better keep it for him to come to his senses.

After Zhao Ruxi left, Kang Shilin called Wu Huaisi to discuss for a while on the second day, and entered the palace in the evening. However, he didn't mention it, chatted with Xiao Qi for a while, admired his collection of paintings, and then Shi Shiran left the palace.

It's just that when he left the palace, when Gonggong Xie sent him out, he whispered a few words to Gonggong Xie.

……

Zhao Ruxi will try to take the second place, and Xiao Lingyan is neither surprised nor surprised.

said that it was an accident because Zhao Ruxi has always been a top student, and when he didn't take the exam together, it was normal for her to take the first exam.

It's not surprising, because Zhao Ruxi's style of writing is quite distinct. Although three of the five graders were drawn from the following provinces, there were always people who could recognize her articles. It's normal for people to be reluctant to let a woman press on the heads of their group of men. Neither he nor Zhao Ruxi are people who value false fame, so that's it.

Usually he wants to see Zhao Ruxi and suppresses himself, but now he finally has an excuse, he came to meet Zhao Ruxi that night.

After being tired of it for a while, he said: "Song Qinghe took the third place in the exam, but he was crossed out of the list before he could wait for the list." Xiangyang was originally the emperor's favorite daughter, but after this incident, he was extremely disappointed in Xiangyang, sent someone to reprimand her, and went to the palace of Concubine Jin to reprimand Concubine Jin. ”

He smiled and said: "Xiangyang didn't tell Concubine Jin and King Ming about this matter, but made his own opinions. Originally, Concubine Jin knew the emperor's temper best and did what she liked, but the emperor's attitude towards her had eased during this time. But after such a stirring in Xiangyang, the emperor became cold to Concubine Jin again, and even King Ming, who had recently been bent on currying favor with the emperor, was also taken aback. Both Concubine Jin and King Ming were extremely dissatisfied with Xiangyang. ”

He was worried that Zhao Ruxi was aggrieved in his heart, so he touched her silk-like green silk and said: "The royal family is like this, whether it is a prince or a princess, if you make a mistake, as long as it is not known to everyone, you will cover it up, after all, they represent the royal face." The matter of Xiangyang ended like this, but she lost the emperor's favor, Concubine Jin and King Ming also had resentment towards her, and she would not have a good time in the future. ”

He looked at Zhao Ruxi: "Moreover, I will avenge you." It's just that we have to wait, and the time has not yet come. ”
