Is it difficult for the third uncle to become an official?

It's not that hard.

Li Kui fooled Zhou Yuan, a county magistrate, and he became a student.

The third uncle was lucky enough to fool an emperor, and he was about to become an official. casually can be a six- or seven-grade casual official.

That's the gap! If Li Kui could fool the emperor back then, he would have become a big celebrity in the court.

Thinking of this, Li Kui sighed for a long time: "This person! One life, two fortunes, and three feng shui, what you said is really accurate. "As for noble sentiments such as accumulating virtue and doing good, I am afraid that the people of Baizhang Village do not have very much.

Only then did Li Kui get rid of the third uncle, stand up and walk out of the courtyard. On the steps in front of the shadow wall, I saw Gao Yu, Hao Sui, and Han Deqin hugging the little emperor Zhao Xu, and said in my heart: These people are too well-behaved, right? The emperor is standing outside the door waiting? He suddenly raised the official position of the third uncle to above the fifth rank and below the third rank. After Li Kui bowed to the emperor, he was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you enter the minister's house?" ”

Zhao Xu was obviously in the play, and made a small gesture to Li Kui, pressing his throat and said, "Li Qing, don't make a noise, so as not to disturb the old-timers." Then the little emperor cautiously and boldly asked Li Kui: "Qing, you won't tell me my identity, right?" ”

Li Kui shook his head and said, "Without His Majesty's permission, the minister doesn't dare!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Xu said that he was very satisfied, he didn't want to make the third uncle afraid to speak because he was the emperor. Speaking of which, he has grown so big, and no one has ever spoken to him so politely like the third uncle. But the problem is that the third uncle is not polite, but what he said is very reasonable and interesting.

Zhao Xu knew that once the identity of his emperor was revealed, then this friendly conversation relationship would break down.

Before, Li Kui really didn't believe that the emperor could be fascinated by the third uncle, but at this moment, with a word of effort, he understood that the emperor had been poisoned deeply. He originally thought that Gao Yu said that the emperor wanted to worship the third uncle as a teacher, which was just a deliberate attempt to scare him, but he didn't expect that it was really possible.

Of course, the apprenticeship process is bound to be full of twists and turns. The official position of the emperor is considered an honorary official position - Taifu. Taifu, an official in the Great Song Dynasty, is a post, not a dispatch, and he doesn't care about anything. But the status is transcendent, it is a positive product, and the person who holds this official position is a respected minister of the court no matter which dynasty or generation, and can only be an old minister.

Don't look at the emperor's ninety-five honor, it's not that you can do whatever you want.

If such a major event as the title of Taifu is allowed to be made by an old man in the countryside who has neither fame nor title, wouldn't this Manchu Dynasty civil and military force make a fuss?

Li Kui glanced at the street outside the door, and Han Deqin muttered on the side: "Don't look at it, the front secretary of the palace, the personal servant official, the warrior in front of the palace with the golden gun and silver gun, nine out of ten people who walk on this street are our people." In addition, the houses on the left and right sides of your house are also occupied by the people of the Imperial City Division. Li Zhimi, you are so lucky, you have the protection of the Imperial City Division every day. ”

Li Kui just felt that the pedestrians on the street didn't seem to be right, why the neighborhoods on weekdays were gone, and the people walking around the street had become tall and mighty strong men, revealing a strange feeling. As soon as Han Deqin explained, he was relieved. After all, if something happens to the emperor at his house, he may have to take his family away and fly away.

It turned out that everything had been arranged, no wonder even Han Deqin looked fearless.

But the question is, is this a good thing? Especially the people of the Imperial City Division actually bought all the courtyards left and right of his house, and the Imperial City Division is the secret agent agency of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one would want to be neighbors with these guys who are full-time making small reports. Li Kui scolded angrily in his heart: "Did you invite you here?" But there is a lack of great virtue, who wants to be neighbors with the spies of the Imperial City Division. is still on the left and right, wouldn't Li Kui have a little idea in the capital in the future, and the emperor will know about it? ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Xu straightened his clothes, happened to be a golden crown, and strode into the courtyard: "Senior, I'm here again." ”

The third uncle hurriedly got up from the mat and said politely to Zhao Xu: "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Zhao Xu felt that something was not right, how could the third uncle, who was swaying freely on weekdays, be a lot more restrained today. Could it be that Li Kui had already told his third uncle about the details of me, and then the old man seemed to be a different person, completely different?

How did he know that Li Kui did not reveal the emperor's secret. He was just worried that the third uncle would not be able to persevere, so he drew a cake for the third uncle. After all, I must be very unhappy when I am annoyed by people every day. But if the emperor wants to see someone, who dares to stop him? The third uncle is not motivated, so he will naturally lose his temper. To whom, and not to the emperor?

So, Li Kui had an idea and thought of a way that was not a way, that is, to let the third uncle know that if he befriended Zhao Xu, his dream of becoming an official could be realized.

As a result, the third uncle's enthusiasm soared, and if it weren't for his identity, he would have been eager to go to the door to greet Zhao Xu in person. His status has risen now, but there are some hurdles that he can't get over. For example, the official is a head shorter. If he can really make him an official, with the temperament of the third uncle, he can sincerely burst out the enthusiasm of 'loving him to death', so that the other party has the illusion of being served by slaves.

The third master is good to you, and you think it's really good to you?

Frustrated, this is something that the third master has taken a fancy to your family.

But how did the third uncle know that the official position may be the most important thing in the emperor's hands. As many as you want, even if you don't have an official position, the emperor can create one in an instant.

But the third uncle doesn't know it! He felt that this matter was difficult, and even hesitated whether to take out the coffin and operate it.

He accompanied the careful and carefully served the master in front of him. This made the little emperor's heart full of loss, and the third uncle stopped pouting, stopped showing his big teeth to laugh at him, and even stopped calling him 'boy'.

Speaking of which, the status of these two people has not changed, but they are not in a comfortable mood. One is a young man who wants anything, and the other is an old yin who is old and well-behaved and abducted.

When they get together, they always feel out of place.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu came with a problem today, and at today's small court meeting, the emperor was entangled by the ministers in the palace for several times. So much so that in a hurry, I forgot to choose a gift. Zhao Xu was a little surprised, and opened his mouth and said: "Senior, I came in a hurry today, I didn't choose a suitable gift, and I ask the old-timer not to be surprised." ”

The third uncle is all about being an official, where would he care about this, a smile piled up on his face, and said to Zhao Xu: "If you can come, you can afford to look at the old man, bring gifts, wouldn't you see the outside?" ”

"Actually, the kid came today to ask the old-timers for advice."

Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed. Most of the questions he asked in the past were questions about the general direction. For example, how to deal with the disharmony between the courtiers, what to do if the courtiers have too much temper?

But today he really ran into a predicament.

So, after Xiao Chao, he hurried over. I hope to find a solution in front of the third uncle.

As for Li Kui, they were arranged near the shadow wall, and they could see Zhao Xu and the third uncle talking face-to-face from a distance, but they were restricted from approaching to prevent eavesdropping on their conversation.

Originally, Li Kui was not restricted by this kind. After all, this is his family, and Zhao Xu will not be too wary of Li Kui, and the identity of their brother-in-law is already certain. But Han Deqin and the others are not happy, why can't we listen, you can come to listen to it? Pull Li Kui to sit together.

Li Kui innocently listened to Han Deqin's complaints: "Li Zhimi, when will your third master leave, if you really don't leave in the capital, maybe I will have to buy a house in this alley." ”

Lao Han has an ancestral house, a high-ranking family in the capital, which is near the imperial city. I can't look down on the mansions in the noble mansion area of Baokangmen in the inner city at all.

This product clearly felt uncomfortable and wanted to quarrel with Li Kui.

Can Li Kui let him get his wish?

deliberately diverted the topic and asked Gao Yu: "Why don't you follow Your Majesty?" ”

Although they could all see the emperor, the distance was relatively far, and as long as Zhao Xu didn't speak loudly, they couldn't hear a word clearly. Gao Yu sighed and said: "Renjie, it's not that we don't want to, but Your Majesty won't let you." ”

"Why?"

Li Kui was curious, although Emperor Zhao Xu was not very old, but now that the Empress Dowager Xuanren was gone, even if the little emperor wanted to rebel, he didn't have this opportunity. What's more, the emperor has always been very careful with his life, how could he give up on protecting his master Han Deqin?

Gao Yu nuns his mouth and said to Hao Sui: "What else can it be, a traitor!" ”

When Hao Sui heard this, his face turned green with fright, and he glared at Gao Yu and said: "Gao Yu, don't spew blood, I can tell you, I am a servant of His Majesty, how can I have two hearts?" But you, I have heard that you used to be a street gangster, and you made countless friends, and I suspect that you have told the emperor's whereabouts? ”

Don't look at Hao Sui's fierce saber rattling, but even the outsider Li Kui thinks that the tone of this guy's speech, how can it make people feel empty-hearted?

It turned out that after Zhao Xu left the palace, it didn't take long for the ministers to know. As the head of the hundred officials, Zhang Dian naturally had to remind the emperor that he could not disregard his own safety so much.

When the emperor heard this, he was furious.

But only in anger. He also knew that if he checked it, it would definitely be a mess. Someone around me sent a message to the ministers. But the communication between the internal and external ministers is a rule that has been handed down in the Great Song Dynasty for fifty or sixty years. Zhang Duan didn't want Zhao Xu to say anything, after all, it was common for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to leave the palace without permission.

Even the old man Fan Zhongyan, such a decent gentleman, also has eyeliner by Renzong's side.

Both the minister and the emperor were too open-minded, and as a result, this seemingly unreasonable system was preserved.

can be used as a eunuch minister who delivers the news, it is good that it has not been exposed, but if it is exposed, he will be disgusted in front of the emperor. Even if the emperor knows what to do before, without the emperor's consent, it will always cause a pimple in the emperor's heart.

Gao Yu was not frightened, and he had long since ignored Hao Sui, who was strong on the outside and dry in the middle. sneered: "You think you're doing something unusual, going out in the middle of the night, and going to the Xianggong Mansion, no one knows?" I have seen you go to the vicinity of Zhang Xiang and Li Xiang's mansions a few times, but your house is not there, and you dare to say that you are not informing? ”

Gao Yu changed his words and said, "Besides, who are the people I come into contact with?" The gangsters on the streets, the proletarian military households, if I really told the whereabouts of His Majesty, wouldn't it be known to the whole city, but the ministers might still be kept in the dark. ”

Gao Yu directly reasoned that Hao Sui was a traitor, which made Hao Sui speechless.

Angry, the fair-faced leader of the eunuchs, the grand duke in front of the palace had his fingers high, and said tremblingly: "You, you, you...... You don't rest at home in the middle of the night, why are you wandering around the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is your intention? ”

"It's not me He Juxin, you have to know that Zhang Xiang's house is given by the emperor, and you also know that there is a special place outside the imperial city, close to the Ministry of Rites and Taixue." Gao Yu deliberately sold a pass.

"Where?" Hao Suizhong said.

Gao Yu showed pain and said, "Teach the workshop! This place is good, and it is still ushered in in the middle of the night, can't I go to see the excitement? After saying that, he and Han Deqin both giggled, quite chicken thieves.

"And what about Lee Sang's mansion?" General Hao Gao Yu hated his back molars so much that he gritted his back molars and gurgled, he was a eunuch, and he didn't understand the happiness of a place like Jiaofang. But it didn't prevent him from imagining that if he was entangled with Gao Yu, he would lose very badly.

Gao Yu said with a solemn expression: "Speaking of Li Xiang, he has a lot of hardship, he lives near Panlou Street, you know that place is also very lively in the middle of the night, right?" "Come on, one is a government-run teaching workshop, and the other is the most high-end Yanliu Street in Beijing, of course it is impossible to go in the middle of the night, but it is very powerful to come out in the middle of the night.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, just for such a shameless hobby?" is different from Gao Yu, Han Deqin, and Li Kui, although Hao Sui is a eunuch, he also has ...... wife, and concubine.

The problem is that when he marries a wife and accepts concubines, most of them follow the crowd. After all, the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty all did this. What other people have, but your own family doesn't, will it look pitiful? The eunuchs are the kind of people who are very sensitive in their hearts, and they can't stand this kind of snubbing at all. Even if he marries a wife, it is of no use to the eunuchs, they can only watch. But in the Great Song Dynasty, eunuchs also talk about love, and there is also loyal love, and other eunuchs enjoy the life of a fairy and a beautiful family, if he is alone, how pitiful is it?

Of course, the love of the eunuchs was almost sacred. In Li Kui's view, incredible family members can often stir up platonic sparks.

Therefore, Hao Sui felt that he was not vain at all in this regard, standing on the commanding heights of morality, and despised Gao Yu's bad taste: "That thing, is it really so interesting? ”

Gao Yu was stunned, then laughed and said, "Yes! ”

I have to say that Han Deqin, a general, also learned badly, and followed the coaxing; "Yes!"

Hao Sui looked at Li Kui with grief and indignation, the latter grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, but a mouth made Hao Sui want to strangle him angrily: "Don't look at me, I'm about to get married, of course, the purpose of my marriage is not the same as Hao's father-in-law." ”

Hao Sui, who was hit in all directions, turned his head and muttered: "Isn't it just two taels of meat, is there such a big difference?" ”

"Two taels?"

Gao Yu's disdainful eyes looked at Hao Sui, and Han Deqin said that he underestimated him, and Li Kui didn't want to talk nonsense with Hao Sui, who had no knowledge.

Hao Sui felt a pain in his heart, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he had to add in a low voice: "When I was a child! ”

Thinking of the knife when the young man entered the palace, Hao Sui had palpitations.
