In the middle of the night, on the shore of the lake where Xiao Lotus showed its sharp corners, the fat businessman on whom Wei Xianwu had high hopes was blinded by an extremely miserable blow, lost his soul power, and was thrown on the grass like a straw bag.

Compared with the Optimus Giant Pillar Yuhua of the Empire, the Three Towns Company General, Wei Xianwu and the like are just praying mantis under the wheels.

But these people are not the only ones who want to deal with Lin Xi.

As early as the night before, Bai Yulou and Hong Shenwu broke up because of Lin Xi's reward and punishment at night, and when the night passed, when the sun rose, the news had already reached many people.

Among these people, including Liu Yu.

Because people's hearts are different, the things they want are different, so even if they are from the same college and the same department, there are many opponents in the court.

Yun Qin Liguo has been like this for decades.

Even if there were only some minor disputes in the academy, Lin Xi had become Liu Yu's destined opponent.

Because neither side likes the other, this position based on the most direct emotional factors in the heart makes it almost impossible to turn back after taking a step on this road from the beginning.

The news came before that Lin Xi was going to be cut down and investigated, but in just one night, his opponent completely turned over, and instead made a shocking achievement, he wanted to be promoted to the ninth grade, and he would be awarded a glorious medal on behalf of Yanlai!

What does this mean?

In addition to the Holy Order, Yun Qin also has a total of 16 kinds of medals at the ninth level of Tianyao, Jiangxing, Shenyuan, Thorns, Falling Stars, Fearlessness, Selflessness, Righteousness, and Danxin.

This "brilliance" is already a medal of righteousness above the Danxin level!

This glorious medal is used to reward officials who are upright, upright, upright, decisive and have made great meritorious contributions.

The military merit represented by the badge of this level is enough to promote the rank of the ninth rank to the eighth rank.

Liu Yu is a golden spoon, and his father will soon be promoted to the provincial governor and become a local magistrate on the powerful side, so he knows better than anyone that the reason why such a medal was awarded is because Lin Xi's credit this time is too great, and Zhilu County's original intention is enough for Lin Xi to be promoted directly from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, but because Lin Xi has just been promoted before and promoted to one rank, this kind of promotion is not in accordance with the rules in Yunqin, there is no precedent, and he can only follow the common method of the officials, first remember the credit, and then turn this credit into a formal promotion when the officials are assessed in the next year。

That is to say, if there are no accidents, even if Lin Xi does not have any outstanding performance in the future, he will be promoted to the eighth grade when the official assessment is carried out a year later.

In one year, it was promoted from the tenth grade to the eighth grade, what kind of promotion speed is this?!

Moreover, even though Lin Xi only has the ninth rank now, he is the acting town governor! It is equivalent to having already sat in the position of the eighth rank first! Moreover, those officials in Yanlai Town who were hostile to him have been emptied by the flood, so who else in Yanlai Town will not accept him? He will not be able to do anything next, so it will be called abnormal.

What about him Liu Yu?

It's just a small household secretary and ten tax officials, and I'm afraid there is no possibility of promotion within this year.

Liu Yu's loss and anger couldn't be resolved, so he tore up the small roll that had just arrived and smashed the tea cup on the case.

"Why?"

His handsome face distorted as he looked at Su Zhongwen, who handed him the small scroll with these messages, and roared in a low voice: "Why did my father let me choose the official position of this household division, why didn't you let me go to the border of the Zhengwu Division!"

Su Zhongwen was a clear scribe in his forties, with a white face and a long beard.

For the dirt bag, the golden spoon has a lot of resources from home that can be used. Su Zhongwen was the teacher sent to him by Liu Yu's father, who was about to be promoted to provincial governor.

Looking at the young man in front of him whose face was distorted due to loss, jealousy, and other reasons, he stroked his beard and smiled indifferently, and said: "I don't take the initiative to mention it these days, and you don't take the initiative to think about Qingluan Academy sending you out, and your father's real intention of letting you come here, in my opinion, this should be something you yourself want to understand, but you asked me today." ”

He originally had a sentence in his heart, if you can't even do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with that Lin Xi in this life, but thinking that his sentence might cause this young man's backlash and rebellion, he still didn't say it, just looked at Liu Yu's eyes lightly and directly.

Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "The student is stupid, please speak up to the teacher." ”

Su Zhongwen didn't want to waste any time, and said directly and indifferently: "Any cultivator has to face a huge empire, especially for you, in the final analysis, you have to fight people under the Yunqin system. Qingluan Academy released you to let you learn the various abilities of human fighting. Your father has always felt that power is more important than pure cultivation, because in this world, there has never been a cultivator who can compete with the army of Yun Qin with the strength of one person, even Dean Zhang back then, in the battle of Falling Star Lake, there are those strong opponents of Qingluan Academy, and there are also 3,000 sergeants, and there are natural dangers to win. In the court, no matter how strong a person's ability is, it is also insignificant, so the most important thing is to know how to use power and know how to take advantage of it. ”

Looking at Liu Yu, who was silent, he continued to state flatly: "Although the tax official of the household division is inconspicuous, there is no opportunity to accumulate merit and be promoted soon, but you must understand that this is the official position that has the most opportunity to contact the firms, give favors to people, envelop these firms, and establish friendships. Your father was able to rise to prominence, and his achievements in the reign were not, not because he wanted to have a few more supporters in the army, like the rest of the contenders, and many times relied on the support of his friends in the merchant houses. ”

Liu Yu was slightly stunned, as if he had an understanding.

Su Zhongwen smiled indifferently and said, "Everyone wants to have more military power and cultivate more support in the Zhengwu Division and the Officials, but that piece of cake is only so big, so many people are staring at it, it is better to grab more low-ranking people who are easy to grab." ”

"My father had such a deep intention. Liu Yu took a deep breath to calm down his mood as much as possible, he thought about it with a gloomy face, then looked up at Su Zhongwen and asked: "Bai Yulou has always been gentle, Hong Shenwu has a lot of support in the military, why did Bai Yulou dare to break with Hong Shenwu like this this time, and finally win?"

"If only you could calm down and think about these things. Neither I nor my father will stop you from fighting with others, because the more difficult the opponent is, the more you have to find ways to use many things, the better it will be for you in the future, and the more you will fight with others in this court dispute. Liu Yu smiled, said this sentence first, and then slowly explained and taught: "You really have no problem with your previous views on the two. In many cases, the battles in the court will eventually lead to disputes between friends and schools. Bai Yulou is Taoguang's obscure forbearance and softness faction, these people are led by the Leng family, but they have always been displeasing on both sides of the military and the Yanguan. Therefore, the dispute between Bai Yulou and Hong Shenwu has no advantage at all, even if something exactly the same happened a few years ago and it is now, Bai Yulou broke out, and it should not be able to win, let alone transfer Hong Shenwu to the border army. ”

"But Bai Yulou, the obscure faction of Taoguang, knows how to grasp the opportunity best, and knows how to take advantage of the situation, when there is a good opportunity, when it wants to bite you, it will be difficult for you to resist. He's waited for such a general trend... Now that the war is tightening on the Dragon Snake Border Pass, it is shaking the imperial city, and many cultivators are about to be sent over. This time, Xi Jiang collided with the two major commercial banks of Heng Rongchang and Lu Fuji, and he rewarded Lin Xi, and he will inevitably get some support from the two big commercial banks. Moreover, ordinary officials do not know that Liu Xueqing, the official of the department, has already been appreciated by the people above, and after next year's performance examination, he will definitely be transferred to the Department of Justice, and he will be a famous official again! Liu Xueqing and Hong Shenwu are incompatible this time, and Bai Yulou and Hong Shenwu will break up, and they can also get the support of the faction of Yanguan in the imperial city who are not bending. ”

Su Zhongwen looked at Liu Yu and sneered: "This is the trend of the times, no matter how strong Hong Shenwu is, how can he stop Bai Yulou from enduring for several years and accumulating so much momentum?" And if the news I know is not bad, when the embankment collapsed that day, one of Bai Yulou's favorite nephews and doormen also happened to be playing in Xijiang, and his life was saved by Lin Xi himself. Because of the battle between some officials of the Zhengwu Division below and Lin Xi, his nephew and strategist almost died, and this breath completely wiped out any hesitation and doubt in his heart. It is strange that he is invincible in such a decisive attack. ”

"Quanshu...."Liu Yu frowned and pondered, and after a while, he looked at Su Zhongwen seriously and said, "Thank you, Mr., for pointing out, in my opinion, how to use the situation to deal with Lin Xi is the most feasible now?"

"As long as you are willing to think and learn, I will teach, and I will hope to inherit your father's position in the future. Su Zhongwen smiled indifferently and said, "We can also wait like Bai Yulou... It is not difficult for Lin Xi to be promoted again, and he can even create some opportunities for him to be promoted. He is on the side of the dragon serpent, and then he will try to elevate him to the side of the dragon snake. ”

Liu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. is very strategic, there are many people in the academy who are not used to him... I can also borrow some of their potential to know which positions are the most dangerous. ”

"Practitioners who sacrifice their lives for the country are most deserving of those medals. Su Zhongwen nodded, looked at Liu Yu, and said very meaningfully: "It is said that the case of Xu Chengfeng of the Silver Hook Workshop is about to be judged. ”

Liu Yu was slightly stunned.

Su Zhongwen said indifferently: "If nothing else, it should be sentenced to be the head of the public gang, but if it is sentenced to a thousand knives, and then Xu Ningshen's three towns company commander is cut, I don't know if this military hero will be able to bear it." ”

Liu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he laughed, "Mr. is really strategic, since this is the case, then let Xu Chengfeng be a thousand knives in public, and he will be executed in Donggang Town, to see if Xu Ningshen will go crazy." ”
