"Zhao Tingzhi, the Xuanfu envoy of Jingdong East Road, concealed the imperial court, the corpse was vegetarian, and he had a negative grace, so he went to his Longtu Pavilion to wait for the post, seized the post of Xuanfu envoy, demoted to a general judgment, and went to Beijing to wait."

"The prefect of Qingzhou is not sympathetic to the people, which leads to local erosion, goes to his governor's state, demotes him to the magistrate's county, and goes to Yazhou to take office on the same day."

"Qingzhou is under control, if you see the bandits, you will not suppress them, and if you have a negative hope, you will go to work and stay to watch!"

……

The tragedy that occurred in Qingzhou affected dozens of officials. Among them, Jingdong East Road from Xuanfu to the Yamen, to promote the Division, and to transfer the Yamen were all reprimanded.

And the only one who has been praised by the imperial court is one person, Hua Rong.

Hua Rong went out on behalf of his father, and was awarded the title of Wensan official and general Shiro.

The children of the generals, many of whom have won the civil and prose officials, can be regarded as an honor. As for being an official in the future, it depends on how you join the company in the end. If it is from the text, naturally there is no need to change it. But after joining the martial arts, it will be replaced by martial arts with promotion.

For a time, the officialdom of Jingdong East Road was bleak.

Although most of the officials who were punished were high-ranking officials at the level of Qingzhou and Lu, the official evaluation of Jingdong East Road may have fallen to the bottom in recent years. If the evaluation is not good, then there is no hope for promotion.

Today, Li Kui is walking on the road, and when he meets officials on Jingdong East Road, especially civilian officials, basically no one will greet him. even deliberately twisted his face and pretended not to see his big people.

this day.

Li Kui prepared to leave for Dengzhou.

He still thinks about his shipyard. Of course, if you continue to be in Qingzhou, it will cause disgust. It's all made you like this, and you don't want to leave?

Do you want to kill them all?

Before leaving, Li Kui asked Ruan Xiaowu to call Hua Rong.

Hua Rong's official position is also an unexpected joy, and he can rely on this honor to go directly to the capital to elect officials. Military generals are different from civilian officials, and now the low-level military generals of the Great Song Dynasty will not change defense areas, and most of the generals of the Western Army will also serve in the Western Army. Hua Rong was born on Jingdong East Road, so he will naturally elect officials in Jingdong East Road.

Of course, officials who have no way out will have to wait a few days, and the official positions they have chosen may not be satisfactory. But Li Kui has great expectations for Hua Rong, what does this guy say? Good martial arts and good family background, these don't matter to Li Kui, but what attracts Li Kui is that Hua Rong is extremely loyal.

Who is the most loyal person in front of Song Jiang?

Hua Rong said first, who dares to say second.

Li Kui felt that he was surrounded by traitors, and he had to find someone trustworthy to help. It is more difficult for Hua Rong to get out of the civil service, but it is not impossible at all.

And Hua Rong is an official on Jingdong East Road, so he obviously can't follow Li Kui.

He pondered that he had to make Hua Rong give up the convenience of being an official at the door of his home and follow him out of the capital.

"Brother Xian, do you have any plans for the future?"

Li Kui asked tentatively, and at the same time handed the brewed tea to Hua Rong.

Hua Rong has been like a dream these days, and he was valued by Li Kui, a rising star in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty, and then made meritorious contributions, and even won the civil and prose official as a military general. This is even the emperor knows that he is glorious!

Of course, Hua Rong knew that these were all brought to him by Li Kui, and there was a way to think about the source of drinking water. He is not a person who does not remember his kindness, but thinking that Li Kui is a civil official, and his knowledge, I am afraid that he will not be able to mix into the circle of civil officials in this life. Thinking of this, Hua Rong didn't feel a little more sad.

However, who made him affectionate and righteous, and immediately made up his mind: "Brother and little brother, how can the little brother not know?" The younger brother resigned from this official and followed his brother to Beijing. ”

"Are you willing?"

Li Kui looked at Hua Rong in surprise, is this guy stupid! They have only known each other for a few days, and they don't even want officials, so they have to follow them?

It's too one-on-one.

Thinking of the people around him, Li Kui was a little sad.

Gao Yu, morality.

Ma Yu is very righteous.

Luda, no heart and no lungs, benevolence and righteousness first.

Pang Wanchun doesn't seem to have any pursuits, but he also talks about righteousness.

Li Bangyan, who took refuge in Li Kui and wanted to get promoted, is also famous for his morality.

And Hua Rong ...... This guy has only known each other for a few days, and he compares them to all of them.

Hua Rong said this, Li Kui was embarrassed. He took Hua Rong back to the capital, although the yamen of Zhongshu Province also had military attachés. But these official positions are basically idle. Hua Rong is also a capable person, let him just be an idle errand who does not enter the stream, and Li Kui can't get by with his conscience.

But Hua Rong thought very simply, he said happily: "Brother, listen to me, my father has been reinstated." Soon after, he may be transferred to Jiangning Mansion to take control. Although the official has not been promoted, Jiangning Mansion is much more prosperous than Qizhou, and there is no need for me to take care of it. ”

"Speaking of Jiangning Mansion. I know an imperial doctor from Jiangning Mansion named An Daoquan, who has superb means, maybe your father's illness has been diagnosed by him as having a way to remove the root. Li Kui immediately said: "An Daoquan was originally an idle man in the capital, and he could invite him to Qizhou with a letter from his brother, but he was already an imperial doctor a year ago, and he couldn't leave the capital easily." If your father's health allows, it is better to go to the capital. ”

"Brother Xie, I'll let my father prepare to go to the capital."

Hua Rong thanked him. As a son of man, filial piety comes first.

Li Kui can think of these things for him, and he is even more convinced of Li Kui in his heart.

Of course, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for such small favors to want to win over people. Li Kui hesitated for a while and asked Hua Rong: "Brother Xian, how about you go to study?" ”

"Reading?"

Hua Rong's face was bitter, he thought that Li Kui wanted to teach him to read. Expectations are high for him. But can he not know his own business? Where did he get the head of a lieutenant? Studying, there is no way out in this life!

Hua Rong's mood was suddenly a little aggrieved, but Li Kui was his brother, so he risked his life...... Hua Rong pondered, reading is not like this, right?

Li Kui smiled and said, "Brother Xian is too worried. Brother Wei is now an official in Zhongshu Province, although the Military Command Bureau is a new yamen, but His Majesty attaches importance to it, the Privy Council attaches importance to it, and the Metropolitan Hall also attaches importance to it. Not to mention that it is a five-rank system, even if it is a fourth-grade general, it can be arranged. However, as an official in the capital, except for high-grade generals, there is not much way out for the generals, especially in Zhongshu Province, any seven or eight grades of the will, the division of the industry, can command the four or five grade generals, the virtuous brother trusts the brother, and the brother cannot harm the virtuous brother. ”

"For my brother, I don't need you to take the imperial examination, Zhongjinshi. There is no need for you to take the Taixue promotion exam, poetry and career. None of this is easy for students. Ten years of cold windows, I don't know how many people have turned white, and they can't wait for the day when the carp jumps over the dragon gate. The meaning of being a brother is to find you a teacher, my uncle Chao Buzhi has a bold personality, as long as you go, he can accept you. But you don't have to study under him, but go to study under my master Su Shu...... As long as you make him happy and write an article about you, you will be famous all over the world. ”

Hua Rong's eyes were straight, listening to Li Kui's arrangement, he was not a Jinshi, he had to be a Jinshi and the first, and even take the top prize.

If the disciples under the great masters of the world can't even get into the middle jinshi, wouldn't it be a shame to lose a lot of money?

Hua Rong couldn't help but secretly complain, he didn't expect that his ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps had not yet become famous in the world, and he would be buried in the book pit and fend for himself.

But can Li Kui harm him?

I saw Li Kui say calmly: "Brother Xian, if you read it, you can study for a few years under the master's door with peace of mind." It doesn't matter if you can't read it, my ancestor and your uncles are very knowledgeable about the big and small exams, as long as you get the opportunity to take the shadow make-up exam through your father's shadow supplement, plus you get the civil servant officer of Shiro, you can take the civil official shadow make-up exam. As long as the operation is good, within ten years, there will be a chance to become a six-grade civil official. Fifteen years, there is hope to achieve five products. It's hard to go up again. ”

"What!"

Hua Rong's eyes widened and he looked at Li Kui in horror.

He'd never heard of such an operation?

In order to reassure Hua Rong, Li Kui said with a big package: "Rest assured, Brother Xian, the civil official shadow supplement exam is very simple, and it is not much stronger than the martial arts general." ”

Boom –

Hua Rong was stunned, even if he was dreaming, he couldn't imagine that he would become a six-rank civil official.

Li Kui said embarrassedly: "This is also a case of full operation, you can rest assured, I had a friend who was a disciple of the Western Army General Sect Jianzhong, and his teacher was Zhang Zai." It's far worse than us in terms of reputation. That's how he operated, and he achieved the promotion of the four products. Now in Qingtang, he is in charge of military affairs, he can do it, and it doesn't make sense to put it on you, do you think it's true? ”

Hua Rong nodded with difficulty, swallowed his saliva, looked at Li Kui with admiration, and said in his heart: "Brother's path is really wild." He is going to be a civil official, will his former friends be jealous when they hear the news? ”

Coincidentally, Ruan Xiaowu entered the house and gave a letter to Li Kui, saying, "Young master, a letter from Changzhou." ”

Li Kui does not avoid people, and the letter from Changzhou can only be a letter from the ancestor Su Shi. He immediately opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, he was ready to write a letter. looked up at Hua Rong and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you will act as a messenger for Brother Wei for a while, and after sending your uncle to the capital for medical treatment, you will be sent to Changzhou for Brother Wei." You also happened to go to meet our ancestor. ”

"Is it Miss Su?"

Hua Rong was pleasantly surprised, and he immediately said excitedly: "The bachelor won't test my knowledge, right?" Brother, what books should I read to satisfy the bachelor? ”

Li Kui laughed and said: "It's useless to read anything, what books hasn't he read in his old man?" The more you are knowledgeable, the more you will be despised by him. You go to Changzhou, bring an urn of good wine, and accompany him to drink happily. ”

Immediately, he handed the letter to Hua Rong and let Hua Rong read it.

Hua Rong read two sentences, and suddenly his face was full of sorrow, and he hesitantly handed the letter to Li Kui and said, "Brother, Master Su seems to be very annoyed by what you did, why are they all reprimands?" ”

Li Kui brought the letter and said to Hua Rong: "Master, this is to avoid suspicion, you only need to read this letter this sentence." By the way, Lu Zhi is the word of the master. ”

“…… Lu Zhi knows Xuanzhou, everything is fine, don't read it. ”

Hua Rong looked at the words on the letter, and he knew every word. And it's also a word of peace, is there a mystery that can't be realized?

Thinking of the superior wisdom of civil officials, Hua Rong suddenly felt a little desperate, couldn't his brain even do something as simple as reading a letter?

Li Kui explained to Hua Rong: "Uncle Master and Zhao Tingzhi did not get along in the past, but unfortunately there has been no chance to resolve the misunderstanding. I, a student of Sumen, will convince people with virtue, and if the misunderstandings of the past are to be solved, there must be a chance to meet. operated for his brother, arranged Zhao Tingzhi to go to Xuanzhou to make a general judgment, and let the master influence Zhao Tingzhi day and night to save people from fire and water. ”

There is a grudge!

One is Zhizhou, and the other is degraded to do the general judgment.

Hua Rong suddenly realized, saying that he was saving people from fire and water, but he pushed into the fire pit and kicked into the deep pool. But bullying Zhao Tingzhi, Hua Rong raised his hands in approval. His Hua family was harmed by this thief, and at the same time, it also opened the door to the civil world for him.
