"Big nephew, you're out of the customs!"

Wang Xu left the teacher's study and met a person.

This person is forty or fifty years old, with a beautiful beard on his chin, and he is the first person of the second generation of the Xue family, Xue Mushan's eldest son Xue Chengwen.

Xue Chengwen is 48 years old this year, born in the top three with Jinshi, and serves as a six-grade member in the Ministry of Rites.

"It turned out to be an uncle, Wang Xu is polite here." Wang Xu smiled and arched his hand, and said, "Uncle just came back?" ”

"Yes, the court is busy with official business, and I can't do it at all. I only sigh that the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, suppressing the virtuous, and I have no room to play, and I have been pressed in the position of a foreigner for many years, and I can't share worries for the country! ”

When it came to the government affairs of the court, Xue Chengwen sighed for a long time, as if he was doing something wrong.

Wang Xu smiled more embarrassedly, Xue Mushan is a cabinet candidate, you are a son who sighs that the traitor is in charge, didn't you scold Lao Tzu too?

In addition, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of several things, such as sacrifices, ritual music, ancestral ceremonies, and diplomacy, which is the most leisurely of the six departments.

Xue Chengwen is a small six-grade outsider, and he has no chance to listen to the government in the court, so he is in charge of the government affairs of the court.

Thinking like this in his heart, Wang Xu remained silent on his face.

Everyone has been together for so long, what kind of person Xue Chengwen is, how could he not know.

The eyes are high, the hand is low, the pursuit of fame and fortune, the heart is higher than the sky, the ambition is big and the talent is sparse, it is simply not too good to describe.

His words should be listened to as a joke, if he really had the ability, he would not be nearly fifty years old and just an outsider.

Don't say anything else, just because there is a good father who has entered the cabinet, there is no other ability, just boil the qualifications, and you have to boil four or five grades.

In fact, Xue Chengwen's qualifications are not shallow, and it is easy to release a prefect with someone to carry him.

The reason why Xue Chengwen was not transferred abroad and became a prefect is that there is also the meaning of Xue Mushan.

In Xue Mushan's words, his own cowardly child, the six-rank official will come to an end, and it is irresponsible to the people to release the prefect.

Staying in the capital and putting it under his nose can make him make fewer mistakes.

"Can the old man be inside?" After chatting with Wang Xu for a few words, Xue Chengwen turned his head to look at the study.

Wang Xu knew that Xue Chengwen might have something, but he still spoke: "The old man talked to me about something just now, and I was so angry that he was angry, and now he is sulking, uncle, you'd better go later." ”

"Sulking?"

Xue Wencheng paused for a moment, looked at Wang Xu with a strange expression, and asked, "The old man loves you the most, what did you say to him, can you make the old man angry?" ”

"This..."

Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The old man admires the six princes more, and invited me to serve as a staff member for the six princes after the imperial examination." I didn't want to do this, so I didn't agree, which provoked the old man. ”

"That's what the old man really said? Confused! ”

Xue Chengwen glanced at the study, lowered his voice and said: "It's right that you don't agree, the sixth prince doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he made for the old man, so the old man almost set up a carriage and horse to support him." The old man didn't want to think about it, there were three princes pressing, five princes blocking him, and finally there were eight princes staring at him, how could the sixth prince dare to worry about the crown prince's throne? ”

Wang Xu nodded again and again when he heard this, there is only one crown prince, a group of people are fighting there, and there are always more losers than winners.

At present, the situation is not clear, everything is like seeing flowers in the fog, and as Xue Mushan, he actually wants to end up in person, doesn't this force everyone to tear their faces.

"You go back first, I'll talk to the old man."

Xue Chengwen hurriedly walked to the study, walked a few steps and turned back, and stopped Wang Xu again: "You won't go out today, right?" I have something to discuss with you, if you don't go out, I will come to you after meeting the old man, and you can help me with my staff. ”

Wang Xu didn't wait to speak, and Xue Chengwen hurried away again.

Looking at Xue Chengwen's back, Wang Xu muttered and said strangely: "Discuss with me, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?" ”

Shaking his head, Wang Xu couldn't think of it.

In the past year, he has lived in the Xue Mansion, and although he is familiar with the Xue family, he can't talk about everything.

Xue Chengwen is the eldest of the second generation of the Xue family, and Wang Xu has to be called uncle in terms of seniority, he really can't think of anything, Xue Chengwen can't make up his mind, and he has to ask him to come to the staff.

"No, it's not negotiable."

"Dad, don't you look down on me, this is my chance!"

Wang Xu was walking out when there was a quarrel behind him.

I wanted to listen to it again, but my voice fell down, and I couldn't hear what I said later.

Wang Xu's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned around in one step and returned to his courtyard.

After a while, Xue Chengwen also came with a gloomy face, and when he saw Wang Xu, he said: "The old man is really confused, he can still hold on for a few years, and the Xue family will not rely on me to support him in the future."

Right now, the household department is lacking a five-grade lang, I have been sitting on the cold bench in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, the old man moves casually, can't I be promoted?

The household department is the money bag of the six departments, and with the same official position, the household department will be superior.

The old man is good, he always tells me not to worry, I have been sitting in the position of a foreigner for ten years, look at my white beard, do you want me to be in the position of a foreigner? ”

Xue Chengwen was out of breath and shook the beautiful beard in his hand.

Wang Xu didn't know the truth, and he didn't dare to comment rashly, so he could only serve tea and say: "Uncle dissipated his anger, is there something that he didn't explain to the old man?" ”

Knock knock!!

Xue Chengwen drank the tea in one gulp, put the teacup on the table, and sighed: "What else can I say, the old man is too prejudiced against me, and he doesn't know that I am no longer Wuxia Ameng!" ”

Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, I am no longer Wuxia Ameng, this is the words used to evaluate Lu Meng.

When Lu Meng was a teenager, he was known for his martial arts, and he liked martial arts and hated literature, so he could only be regarded as a brave general.

Later, inspired by Lu Su, Lu Meng studied the art of war hard, which surprised Lu Su when he saw him again.

Wang Xu laughed secretly when he heard this, Lu Mengguan worshiped the governor of the capital, and he was the successor of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, how could Xue Chengwen dare to compare with him.

However, he understood what Xue Chengwen meant, the household department is the money bag in the six departments, and now there is a fat shortage in the household department, which makes Xue Wencheng value it very much, and wants to beg Xue Mushan to take a shot, transfer him from the cold bench of the Ministry of Rites, and promote him to the household department to be Langzhong.

Lang Zhong is the fifth grade, but he is the adjutant of the squire, and the sixth rank member Wai Lang was transferred to the fifth rank Langzhong, not only promoted one step higher, but also changed from an idle official to a real power official.

It's a pity that Xue Chengwen's ability is clear, he is clear about being a father, and he refutes it without thinking about it, and Xue Chengwen, who is angry, jumps to his feet.

"Uncle is angry, the old man is an old concept, if you don't make some movement, I'm afraid you won't be able to change his opinion." Wang Xu stood up and added tea to Xue Chengwen, and then said, "Uncle, you came here in a hurry, do you want to discuss something with me?" ”

Among the second-generation disciples of the Xue family, Xue Chengwen and Xue Chengwu are not close to him, and Wang Xu is also very curious about Xue Chengwen's intentions.

No, Xue Chengwen came to him just to vent his dissatisfaction with the old man.

"Humph!"

Xue Chengwen snorted coldly, took a sip of the teacup, and said: "I am looking for you this time because I want you to help me analyze who has a higher chance of winning in the current three princes, five princes, and eight princes, and I can also lay out in advance." ”

"Uncle, you think too highly of me, the little nephew can't rejuvenate the country, the military can't Anbang, how can I understand the affairs of the court."

Hearing Xue Chengwen's intention, Wang Xu hurriedly started haha.

At present, the three princes, the fifth prince, the eighth prince, and one sixth prince, all four of them are eyeing the position of the crown prince. It's hard to say which will win or which is strategic.

said it well, Xue Chengwen may not be able to remember his goodness, if he doesn't say it well, I'm afraid he will hate him.

Wang Xu is most afraid of trouble, and he also can't trust Xue Chengwen's ability, where will he say more.

"You don't want to lie to me, the Queen Mother celebrated her sixtieth birthday the year before last, but you gave advice and helped the old man tide over the difficulties, I don't believe that you have really been indifferent to state affairs this year."

Xue Chengwen had impatience on his face, and urged: "If you say it, you can say it, now that the three princes are trying to win over me, I may not be able to compete for the dragon's merit." ”

"From the dragon's work?"

Wang Xu understood what Xue Chengwen had to do again.

In the past year, several princes have opened mansions and built offices, gathered their wings, Xue Chengwen couldn't bear the loneliness, and wanted to win wealth and wealth.

Just listening to this meaning, Xue Chengwen is not optimistic about the six princes that the old man likes, and prefers to the other princes.

Lao Tzu supports the six princes, but his son wants to support others, is this going to fight in the nest?
