Chapter 345: Expanding Influence
According to the size of their official positions, they are from the fourth grade of the national son sacrifice wine Hua'an, from the fifth grade of the palace young eunuch Zhuo Zijie, from the sixth grade of the criminal department Langzhong Yuen Long, from the sixth grade of the examination of the merit Lang Zhongliu Sheng.
These four people are either loose officials, or they are in an inconsequential position, no matter what, they have a bit of real power, but because they have no background, they are cautious in doing things, for fear that they will be taken down by others one day.
They are all unambitious, but ambitious four people, this is the commonality they have.
Now I came to Su Mansion for the first time and asked to see Su Shi to show my loyalty.
Su Shi was not surprised to learn that the four of them were coming. It is said that based on his performance, someone should have come to take refuge a long time ago, but perhaps because he was too young, or because the aura on his body was only a loose official, so he did not make such a choice.
Last night, because of his reasons, Fan Zhongyan was dismissed, which shocked some people and made them see their potential and think about coming to take refuge, which is also a reasonable thing.
Anyone who wants to live a better life in this world can't fight alone, otherwise, you can block your fists, but can you deal with eight legs?
If Su Shi wants to help King Jing Zhao Xi in the future, and if he wants to have a better life, he needs to have his own small circle, and when necessary, he needs to have people who can use it, so he must recruit some talents for his own use.
Now that the opportunity has come, Su Shi did not intend to let it go, but asked the four of them to wait in the hall, and he himself called Zhou Quan, asking him to get the basic information of the four people in his hands as quickly as possible, and he wanted to see it.
Although Su Shi wants to recruit people to use it, he will not rush to the doctor, everyone wants it.
To make these people wait is to test their patience, and if they are not sincere, they will naturally leave.
Secondly, he also needed time to get to know the details of these people. See if they are sent by others, and whether they are worth cultivating, if there is a problem with their character, then Su Shi will not recruit such a person.
The efficiency of the thoughtful is very fast, and the details of these four people are not difficult to investigate, and soon the four pieces of information are in Su Shi's hands.
In the main hall, the four of Hua'an were sitting here, and it had been more than two hours.
From time to time, people from Su Mansion would come to fill them with tea, but whenever they asked where Master Su was, the people would only say that the adults were busy and asked them to wait for a while. Of course, if a few adults have something to do, they can leave.
What are you kidding, everyone is coming. Presumably, it won't be long before they become known about their arrival, and if they leave at this time, what kind of bad effects will it bring?
Above the court, the most taboo is the existence of wall grass, which will only make everyone look down on you.
From the moment they entered the Su Province, they had no choice, and there was already a big Soviet army above their heads.
Even if they leave now, others will still think so, and no one will dare to accept them in the future. In this way, they are left with only one way to go to the dark.
It's just that none of the four people have the intention of quitting, they have also thought it out before they came, they know that if they want to become a human being, if they want to make a difference, they must pay something, which must dare to bet and dare to gamble.
Even if the people of Su Mansion introduced them into the mansion, it means that they are still favored by Su Shaofu, even if there is hope, wouldn't they be fools if they leave now.
He smiled at the people of Su Mansion, saying that he was not busy, and Master Su could be busy if he had something, and they would wait here and wait until any time.
Soon, when it was time to eat at noon, the people of Su Mansion walked in with four dishes and one soup.
Before the dish arrived, the incense arrived first, causing the four of them to twitch their noses involuntarily.
The portions are generous, and each dish is served in small pots to ensure that they are absolutely full.
"What does this smell like, and why is it so fragrant." When the four of them saw the food in front of them, they couldn't help but sigh.
Speaking of which, the four of them just have no careers, but life is still going by. After all, during the Great Song Dynasty, the treatment of officials was still very good. But even if they usually think that they can eat okay, they are still greatly appetized by the four dishes in front of them.
A pot of braised pork, a pot of pot-wrapped meat, a pot of pot-wrapped meat, a pot of stir-fried pork with garlic, and a pot of dried tofu with sharp peppers. Finally, there is a pot of Huainan beef soup.
It is very common and common four dishes and one soup in later generations, but in the eyes of the four people in Hua'an, it is an eye-opener for them. Not for anything else, just because there are no chili peppers in this era, and there are no these so-called variety of condiments.
The four of them didn't know about Su Shi before, if Bao Heizi was here, they would not be surprised by this, and in his home, there were also a lot of various condiments and oils given by Su Shi.
The first time they ate something like this, the four of them quickly gobbled up without a figure. When it was really hard to eat, these people were burped and looked satisfied.
Rencha was served, which quenched thirst and greasy. Su Shi finally met them after taking a nap at noon.
First observed from a distance, and found that the four people in Hua'an were all red on their heads, and Su Shi knew that these four people were really coming to take refuge in him.
The four of Hua'an sat in the main hall very respectfully, it is said that Su Shi is not much higher than their official position, and he is even a loose official, it is not worth them to do this.
But now, they are looking at their horses, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one is the master and the other is the servant, and their attitude is naturally very respectful.
"If you can do it here, even if you are your own person, you don't have to be restrained." After the youngest Su Shi's gaze swept over the four of Hua'an, he smiled.
"Since you want to go to me, there are some ugly things to say. We can't get off this big ship, otherwise, if we want to quit one by one, it is simply impossible, are you mentally prepared for this? ”
In the dialogue between officials, the emphasis is on gradual progress, and even if there is any purpose, it will not be said so directly. Without it, everyone is a person of identity, and naturally can't speak as straightforwardly as ordinary people.
Su Shi did the opposite, and went straight to the point, which made the four of them a little uncomfortable.
But if they don't adapt, they don't adapt, and in the face of Su Shi's question, the four of them reacted quickly. "There is no problem, even if we choose the adult, then we will definitely take your lead in the future, what you say, we will do it, never hesitate, let alone regret."
The first person to speak was Hua An, who answered very directly in the way Su Shi spoke.
"Good." Su Shi looked at Hua An with appreciative eyes, and then looked at the young eunuch in the hall, Zhuo Zijie.
Feeling Su Shi's gaze, Zhuo Zijie didn't let him wait longer, and replied happily at the moment, "Xia Guan is also thinking like this, no matter what happens, he will never regret it." ”
As an official in the imperial court, he has always retreated if he does not advance. There are only a few good positions, if you don't grab them, once they are snatched away by others, then it is difficult to have any chances if you want to have a test seat.
There are hundreds of officials and thousands of officials in the imperial court, but why can some people live well, but some people have no power and power, and they will be excluded. In the final analysis, it is caused by not having a backer, once you have a strong backer, even if you make some small mistakes, you will be fine.
On the contrary, if there is no one to help you, you are not wrong, and someone will pick a bone in the egg and find out the mistake for you.
In order to protect themselves or have a more ambitious future, some small circles have naturally formed in the court, and once they encounter problems, they will work together to find ways to solve them.
The so-called large number of people is powerful, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the possibility of solving problems will become higher.
So all along, many officials have also been proud to have access to some circles. After all, having a circle is equivalent to having a foundation, and when you encounter something, you don't have to worry and be afraid.
Zhuo Zijie is just a young eunuch from the palace of the fifth grade, and he is still a loose official in name only. He had tried to enter other circles before, but no one had paid attention to him, which made him very discouraged for a while.
Now there are finally people who are willing to accept him, even if the conditions are harsh, he can accept it.
Besides, what Su Shi said is for everyone's good, if there is no unity within a circle, usually hello, hello, hello, everyone, as soon as something happens, they will fly separately when the disaster comes, then there is no point in such a circle whether to enter or not.
Zhuo Zijie cherished this opportunity, so he accepted it.
followed Yuen Long and Liu Sheng also nodded their heads and agreed. They know in their hearts that it is Su Shi who gives them the opportunity now, if they don't seize it, not only will they not have the opportunity to enter this circle in the future, but it will also cause Su Shi's disgust, if people have the heart to deal with themselves, can they bear it with their own little arms and legs?
Think about who Fan Xianggong is?
How many times stronger than them.
But Su Shi didn't even have half a day from the time he shot to the result, how could they withstand Su Shi's suppression?
The four of them all nodded in agreement, and Su Shi said happily, "Okay, even if everyone has no opinion, then we will be the best friends in the future, and everyone will be prosperous and lose in the future." If anyone is half-hearted, then there is no need for Song Fa or the official to speak, and the official will let him know that the consequences of treachery are not only his own head, but also your family will not be able to escape. ”
Su Shi said this more ruthlessly, and he already had the meaning of threat. Listening to the ears of the four Hua'an, it naturally made them shudder for a while.
But at the same time, isn't that what they are looking for?
Some people died, but not completely......
