Chapter 1196 Extra Mao Mingxuan 4
The meeting that year was not short-lived. Because he won the champion, he became the first champion since the Kangxi Dynasty to win three yuan, which attracted everyone's attention and was also valued by the emperor!
He still remembers how he felt when the news came. Not only did he have a surprise in high school, but he also felt that he had the confidence to support his sister!
He was finally able to step into the officialdom and made his name in front of the emperor. As long as he makes further political achievements, the road ahead will definitely be smooth.
Even if the eighth master was very fond of Mao Tongtong at that time, he always had a sense of crisis in his heart. The princes' backyard is not easy to treat. The draft is held every three years, and new people continue to enter the house. Mao Tongtong has a Fu Jin in front of him, a newcomer in the back, and maybe a side Fu Jin or something like that in the future. Whose favor will last forever?
How could he be willing to let his most beloved sister suffer!
So at that time, he was in the officialdom with a lot of energy!
There are many people who can read, but being able to read does not mean that they can be officials. It is easy to be a clean official, but it is difficult to be a good official. This is a truth that Mao Mingxuan has long understood.
Is Mao Chengshu a Qing official? Absolutely. As a son, he has been in the eyes for so many years. But is Mao Cheng a good official? Mao Mingxuan didn't think so. A good official is not only competent for his position, but also learns to deal with interpersonal relationships. A person who is too upright can't actually be a good official. You may sometimes be suppressed because of what you say.
Many people will feel that this is the darkness of officialdom, and those who are suppressed will also feel aggrieved. Why can't I listen to me, when I'm for the people?
But saying the same thing in different ways has different effects. If you don't have enough emotional intelligence and can't handle interpersonal relationships well, you won't be able to implement what you think is good to the fullest.
So, in this respect, such a person is not considered a good official!
Although Mao Mingxuan has never been an official, he was born in an official family since he was a child, and he has seen many people who are officials. Later, when he entered the school, he entered the best school in Yangzhou, and also came into contact with the children of more high-ranking officials, and even went to their mansion as a guest. He has actually seen a lot of all kinds of officials.
He's a man who loves to think. Since you have decided to be a good official, you must not only make political achievements and really consider the people, but also rise to a high position, and of course it will take more effort.
I still remember that when he first arrived in Zibo, he hardly slept well. No matter how much soup Hibiscus boils, he just can't get fat. Because I worked so hard that everything I ate was consumed!
That was his first official position, and it was also a test for him by the emperor. After the catastrophe, the county town was full of desolation, everything was in ruins, and the officialdom experienced a great shock. It is a test and an opportunity. He knew that once he got it right, he would be able to go further in the next step.
In those years, the belief that supported him in his heart was not only those people who would show a smile when they saw him respectfully called him Lord Mao, but also for the person in the capital!
As soon as the capital is farewell, the contact between him and Mao Tongtong can only be through letters. He could only guess between the lines whether Mao Tongtong was doing well, whether everything was as she said in her letter!
Year after year, his assessment is top-notch, and he knows that he has taken a step closer to his goal. He was thinking in his heart that he could be promoted to a level in a few years, what position he could achieve, and what preparations he had to make for the next position! Every step he takes, he thinks deeply.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't expect that the eighth master would suddenly have an accident!
In those years, the eighth master has always been a celebrity in front of the emperor. He had a vague uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't do anything. He has never supported the Eighth Master openly, he is not a member of the Eighth Master's Party, and he can't speak in front of the Eighth Master. He can't let Mao Tongtong remind the eighth master, because women's interference in the affairs of the previous dynasty will definitely make men scruples.
But he didn't expect the eighth master to fall so quickly! It was as if overnight, he was beaten to the dust. was reprimanded by the emperor, grounded, and had no power in his hands.
Although he has not been in the capital, the turmoil in the capital does not mean that he does not know. The emperor is getting older, and there is an undercurrent between the crown prince and his brothers, and the struggle for the throne is inevitable.
The eighth master failed to compete for the throne, and it didn't matter to Mao Mingxuan at all. He never thought of relying on the eighth master to take the position. But what he is worried about is that the eighth master's life is not good, does it mean that Mao Tongtong's life is also difficult?
A prince who has fallen out of favor is the same as a concubine who has been beaten into the cold palace in the harem, not to mention that everyone can come up and step on it, but it must be a crowd and be looked down upon.
And he also knows that if a man is hit by such a major matter, he is likely to change his temperament and vent his anger at the people around him!
Mao Tongtong has always been the eighth master's favorite woman, but at this time, she may also be the easiest object for the eighth master to vent his anger!
At that time, Mao Mingxuan didn't consider that his future was damaged, but Mao Tongtong was worried. He was afraid that she would be wronged and that she would fall out of favor.
Although he has made some achievements in officialdom, it is far from enough to support Mao Tongtong. No matter how down-and-out the Eighth Master is, he is also a Baylor, he is a five-grade petty official, and he can't get on the stage in front of the Eighth Master at all!
It's just that no matter how worried he is, he can't quench his thirst from far away, so he can only look forward to the letter from the capital and guess one or two from the clues on it.
By the time he realized that his future had been affected, it was already later.
He should have been promoted to another level that year. But he promoted a person who was not as good as him. After a brief moment of surprise, he understood what was going on.
I still remember that year Fleur was more aggrieved than him and cried several times. On the contrary, it was himself, and after figuring out what was going on, his heart was calm.
From the moment Mao Tongtong entered the palace and stepped into the backyard of the eighth master, the Mao family was actually on a rope with the eighth master!
It's okay if Mao Tongtong is not favored, a little Gege's brother, probably no one pays attention. But Mao Tongtong was favored, and he was too beautiful back then. Now that the eighth master is down, haven't all the people who have fallen into the well come out?
That Hui Furong once said that if she was affected by the eighth master in this life, wouldn't it be too innocent? And he only replied with a smile, woe and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk.
Life is only a few decades in the world, and the change of circumstances may be in the past. If you really can't be promoted again, it's not impossible to do things in a down-to-earth manner in your current official position.
The most gratifying thing that made him feel in those years was probably that although the eighth master was down, he still loved Mao Tongtong as always.
It was only from then on that he truly accepted the Eighth Master in his heart.
But who knew that although the eighth master failed to compete for the throne, he turned around and found an ally, and immediately dedicated the resources in his hands, which also laid the foundation for the later power tilt.
