"Little nephew, meet Shibo!" Wang Ji walked into the room and bowed to the elegant-looking old man, "My father and Shibo haven't seen each other for many years, but I miss it more and more recently, and my little nephew brought a letter from my father." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 With that, Wang Ji took out the letter written by Wang Xun to Cui Taichong, the servant of the ministry, from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

"The old man also recalls the time when he and Brother Wang Xian sang about wine in the past, but twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, I wonder if Brother Wang Xiandi is still healthy now?" Cui Taichong took the letter and did not open it directly, his eyes were full of nostalgia, "At that time, both of us were young, but now they are already old, and after the old man resigns, I will definitely go to Langya to visit Wang Xiandi, and I will not get drunk or stop when the time comes." ”

"There is Lao Shibo who asked, my father is still quite strong, and he reads and writes on the green box building every day, but he is also leisurely." Cui Taichong and Wang Xun had a lot of contacts when they were young, and Wang Ji had also visited him before; The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials, examinations, promotions, honors, transfers and other affairs, Wang Ji wants to be the Tongzhi of Yunzhou, and he cannot do without the help of this uncle.

Both sides are not outsiders, and Cui Taichong opened Wang Xun's letter and browsed it with two polite sentences, Cui Taichong was a little old after all, and he only put it down after reading the two-page letter for half an hour, "It turns out that Brother Wang Xian wants his nephew to go to the state and county to have a good experience, this is the proper meaning, and I should help." ”

According to the ancestral system of the Great Wei Dynasty, Bulizhou County is not allowed to serve as a heavy minister, and now Yang Jiefu, Yuan Rukui and others in the court have come over like this, Cui Taichong thought that this was probably Wang Xun paving the way for their Langya Wang's Qianli horse to enter the center in the future; The relationship between the two sides has always been harmonious, and the Langya Wang family is quite powerful in the government and the opposition, plus Wang Ji has had quite good political achievements since he won the top prize, and it takes no effort to operate it at all, Cui Taichong is naturally happy to sell a benefit.

Cui Taichong's reaction is no different from what Wang Xun said yesterday, of course, this is also thanks to Wang Ji's background and the friendship between the two families, if it is replaced by someone else, it will be completely different, Wang Ji has heard many times how this Cui Shilang treats those unfounded poor officials, "My father has written many times to tell my little nephew not to be nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital, but to be like Shibo who has the people of the world in his heart, and to do something practical for the people as soon as possible." Shibo used to build water conservancy, build bridges and pave roads in Nanyang prefect, and still remember the people of Nanyang, and the little nephew still remembers the poems and texts that he saw and praised Shibo when he visited Nanyang in the past...... "Wang Ji shook his head and recited this poem."

This is Cui Taichong's proud work, seeing that many years have passed and some people still remember it so clearly, he is not only relieved, "Haha, Brother Wang Xian really gave birth to a good son, and the virtuous nephew is worthy of being the Qianli horse of the Langya Wang." ”

Cui Taichong, who was in a good mood, saw that Wang Ji became more and more pleasing to the eyes, and rarely opened his mouth to explain to him the experience of release, "I think that the virtuous nephew will not be like those mediocre people, just want to pick a prosperous place, be a fellow governor and prefect for a few years, and make a lot of money, right?" A position like this may make money, but it is not easy to make a difference. ”

"Of course, although those remote military states are easy to make military achievements, they are also dangerous and abnormal, and if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life, and it is not a good place to go." Cui Taichong enthusiastically told Wang Ji about the doorway in the officialdom, although Wang Ji's background can completely allow him not to worry about the problem of returning to Beijing for meritorious service, but choosing a good place will always give birth to a lot of trouble, this is also Cui Taichong's experience as an official for many years, if he is not happy today, he will not say it, "Therefore, the best places to go are those state capitals that may not be in a good situation at the moment, but there will be great changes in the next year or two." ”

"In the past, during the reign of Sejong, the imperial court decided to re-dredge the canal, Yang Jiefu was only a small prefect by the canal at that time, and his achievements were mediocre for more than a year in office, if he continued like this, he would probably be transferred to other places after the expiration of his three-year term to continue to serve as the prefect; Who would have expected that in the dredging canal, dozens of prefectures and counties along the river, but Yang Jiefu dredged the fastest and the best, when he took this opportunity to rise to the top, in one fell swoop into the eyes of Sejong, in the future, he successively added officials to the knighthood, so that he has today's prestige. Cui Taichong also gave an example, Sejong was the emperor of the Great Wei before Li Gui, and Yang Jiefu was promoted by him to enter the center and serve as the prime minister.

"If it weren't for Shi Bo to mention it, the little nephew would never have thought of this, dare to ask Shi Bo if those places are good places to make contributions?" Wang Ji asked respectfully.

"Nowadays, if you want to talk about the speed of meritorious service, there is no more thief; Don't you see that since Zhang Guo led the troops to repeatedly defeat the thieves in the four mansions of Hedong, there have been rumors in the court that as long as the rebellion in Hedong is calmed, Zhang Guo is likely to be promoted to the squire of the military department? Cui Taichong talked about it a lot today, and even said this kind of words that he would not easily tell outsiders, "It's just that now that the Hedong Rebellion has gradually subsided, if the virtuous nephew goes to Hedong to take up a post, he can also share some credit from Zhang Guo." ”

"What Shibo said was like an empowerment, which made the little nephew suddenly enlightened." Wang Ji gave a slap in the face just right, pretending to be extremely interested in quelling the chaos and said, "It's just that the thief chaos in Great Wei doesn't seem to be just in Hedong?" Isn't there a suitable opportunity elsewhere? ”

"Now the thieves are not just in the east of the river, Qingzhou, Ganzhou, and Chuzhou are all thieves, but there are not many available soldiers in these places, if you go to these places to serve, not only is it not easy to get credit, but even the thieves have captured the city, and no one can afford to lose the land!" After counting a few chaotic states and counties, Cui Taichong's eyebrows furrowed again, and he looked at Wang Ji for a while before he said hesitantly, "But Yunzhou seems to be an opportunity?" ”

"But Yunzhou, where Jiazhou Bo served as the regimental training envoy?" A hint of disgust flashed in Wang Ji's eyes.

However, such a faint change in expression did not escape the old fox Cui Taichong's gaze, he said tentatively, "Exactly, I heard that the former virtuous nephew had a very harmonious relationship with Jiazhou Bo in Guozijian, and in the future, he will fight side by side in Weizhou, if he goes to Yunzhou, he will definitely be able to make new contributions." ”

"Neither nor not!" Wang Ji knew that the time to test himself had finally come, if he didn't deal with it properly, and Cui Taichong thought that his relationship with Li You was really good, then he basically didn't want to go to Yunzhou, otherwise, this position would be nine out of ten, and Cui Taichong They also needed a capable person to go to Yunzhou to monitor and restrain Li You.
