Chapter 339: A Double Master
Although it is autumn in the capital, and the night is rarely hot and dry, it is far from the point where the autumn night is as cool as water.
Wang Quanquan and Liu Luming sat in the courtyard, drinking fine wine and eating drunken crabs pickled by the old Confucian ginger Xiuye, which was very comfortable.
The current Liu Luming has long been different from what it used to be, since he was fooled into the ordnance factory by the king, he got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog.
However, a fool has a fool's fortune, and his official position has been promoted again and again, and now he is only in his twenties, and he has taken a position that many old people in the court envy.
After the two developed the artillery, the dynasty raised their eyebrows in front of Donghan, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed and promoted to Wupinlangzhong, which was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry.
After half a year, perhaps it was Emperor Xian'en who cherished his talents, or perhaps because of the face of the king's authority, he made an exception to grant this upstart in the court the official position of Doctor Zhongshun's four-grade Wensan.
Although it is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, the waist board is really much harder, and many officials in the court and the central government who are higher than him have to be polite when they see it.
In addition to looking at the face of his son Liu Jianbai, more reasons are to see the potential of this young man.
These old oilmen who have been in the court for many years know a truth: no matter how many achievements they make behind their backs, they can't compare to the blue eyes of the Son of Heaven.
After all, thousands of years ago, there was such a ridiculous thing as making the cricket a general, although the emperor was still young and had a lot of fun, but it was enough to explain some problems.
Compared with an innocuous cricket, those wine bags and rice bags climb to a high position by relying on flattery, which is even more incredible.
In the eyes of some people who are good at drilling, Liu Luming has an opportunity that they can't ask for no matter how sincere they are to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and it is only a matter of time before this young man soars, and no one wants to offend a future temple minister.
And they have to admit that Liu Ge Lao Yu Sheji has immortal merits, and he can sit in the first grade because the dynasty has only one grade at the highest.
Compared with those who rely on the shade of their elders and mix a small official with a sesame mung bean size, who will only cause trouble for their own Lao Tzu, Liu Luming is simply too strong.
……
Liu Luming can wear the court clothes of Yunyan Buzi in his twenties, which is already unprecedented in the dynasty, and with the death of Emperor Xian'en, Emperor Xiaocun is still young, although the eighth prince is the first assistant, but he cannot blatantly nepotism.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Luming's career would stop for a while, another major event happened in the entire dynasty - the second prince, Wang Zhide, openly started an incident.
Yan Shaoshan, the son of General Zhenyuan, went to crusade and lost the first battle, and the eighth prince did not hesitate to give Liu Luming another level in order to make the ordnance factory work overtime to build firearms, and directly promoted from Sipin Wensan to the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who held real power.
This is true, which makes many officials in the court who have been below the fourth rank for almost ten years look red-eyed, if it weren't for the king's power that is not easy to provoke, they would have fallen out long ago.
Some of them were also dissatisfied because of this, and secretly colluded with the second prince who was thousands of miles away.
After that, Wang Quanquan personally led his troops to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, and the army was defeated and fell off the cliff and died.
Some officials who complained about this breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Luming, who had no two backers, not only could not make any waves, but he might even be settled by the second prince who was about to enter the city.
Just when they thought that this young man, who had been promoted many times in just one year, was about to usher in bad luck, Liu Luming took the initiative to resign, and many people in the court who were waiting to see the excitement couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Not long after, the eighth prince, who had been missing for more than half a year, returned to Beijing again, and Liu Luming not only returned to the court, but also went further, directly promoted from the left waiter to the right waiter.
Although it is only a small step, it means that as long as the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu retires, he will be the first candidate for the next Shangshu.
After the news spread, those petty officials who had worked hard for half their lives, secretly did not know that they had done a lot of unsightly things but still failed to get out of the way, couldn't help but feel sad, and they all borrowed wine to eliminate their sorrows, and the sales of alcohol in the major liquor stores in the capital increased a lot.
There are even speculations in the DPRK that if this young man can become a scholar before the age of forty, it is not impossible for him to enter a class in this life.
One double and one product, this is what many people dream of......
"Brother Wang, are you free tomorrow? If you have nothing to do, come with me to the armory. Liu Luming said while eating crabs.
Wang Quanquan shook his head when he heard this, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to ask for the will of marriage, and then visit the concubine by the way, there may not be any extra time." ”
When he turned his head to look at the other party after speaking, he saw that the guy was looking at him with excitement on his face, obviously misunderstanding something.
"Brother Wang, you are my reborn parents, as long as this thing is done, I will be a cow and a horse......"
"Stop shooting, it's none of your business." Wang Quanquan said lightly.
"Uh..." Liu Luming was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person hung his head like an eggplant.
Seeing this, Wang Quanquan patted the other party on the shoulder and comforted:
"Work hard, when you are promoted to Shangshu, Emperor Shun's marriage will also be more justified."
Liu Luming was even more energetic when he heard this, "The old man Shangshu is only in his fifties, and it is no problem to live for another twenty years with that posture, it doesn't matter if I wait, I'm afraid that Huihui will already be old and yellow at that time." ”
Wang Quanquan's face was also a little unbearable when he heard this, in fact, Emperor Shun had already agreed to this family affair, and in the end, Wang Quanquan asked him to stabilize his hand first, saying that the toothpaste could not be squeezed out at one time.
Although Emperor Shun didn't understand, he also understood the general meaning, so he only promoted Liu Luming to a half-grade official position.
"Well, I can promise you that within three years, I will keep you married to a wife." Wang Quanquan said sincerely.
When Liu Luming heard him say this, his spirits were lifted a little.
This matter can't be blamed entirely on the king's power pit brothers, Liu Luming originally had no official and no quality, and when the ordnance institute was first established, he was only an eight-grade petty official, and the promotion speed in recent years has been shocking enough, if the king's authority is blindly biased, it is not conducive to its development.
And this guy's temperament is the most clear, he is a lazy donkey, not only does he grind and urine, but he doesn't drive any radish in front of him.
Besides, isn't the brother used to pit?
……
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Wang Quanquan got up early in the morning and walked towards the palace gate, this time he did not bring a sword, but was carefully checked by Zou Shun.
Last time, I believed the nonsense of this prince, Zou Shunzhen entered the palace with a scabbard when he was fine, who would have thought that the sword would fly!
When he saw Wang Quanquan walking out of the imperial study with his sword, the commander of the Ouchi guard almost peed his pants in fright.
Although Emperor Shun didn't trouble him in the end, he still trembled for several days, so this time he not only searched Wang Quanquan's body "disrespectfully", but even glanced at the sky from time to time, for fear that a flying sword would sneak over his head.
Wang Quanquan couldn't cry and laugh throughout the whole process, and it was not until the other party repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, and then he was released.
