The people who were able to accompany the three princes Hu Hao to sit at the same table were all such figures as Kong Qingyi, Kong Qingming, Cao Podi, Ji Honggao, Liu Shaojian, and Lei Zhanpeng.

Hu Hao seemed to see everyone's doubts, and immediately laughed loudly and said, "Come on, come on, take this opportunity today to introduce a close friend of this king to everyone." This Duan Xing Dynasty Duan Gong next to me is the first name of Enke this time, and his talent is rare in the world, and he definitely has the talent of the champion, and he can be said to be the pillar of Kuangfu Sheji in the future. This king has asked his father to make Duan Gong the cabinet writer, and he is more likely to be promoted to a cabinet scholar in the future and become the pillar of the country! Everyone looks at this king's face, but they want to get closer to Duan Langzhong!"

As Hu Hao spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged scribe sitting next to him, with a look of expectation on his face.

The middle-aged scribe, that is, Duan Xingchao, had a straight expression at this time, stood up and saluted, and said: "Duan Mou is fortunate to meet all the sages today, it is really a blessing for three lives!

As soon as Duan Xingchao's voice fell, he saw him raise the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. From this point of view, although this Duan Xingchao is a literati, he also has a bit of pride, even in the face of these sons of the family, and even many young talents at the level of generals, he can also be calm and polite.

With such a character, it is no wonder that he was able to achieve the top spot in Enko. Moreover, he has the official position of the cabinet writer, so he is indeed qualified to sit under Hu Hao's hand to accompany him. You must know that no matter how prominent you are in a wealthy family, as long as you do not inherit the title in the family, you are just a commoner, and the cabinet writer Lang Zhong is a dignified third-grade member, and he can definitely be regarded as an important minister of the court.

According to the official system of the Cangnan Empire, from the emperor down, the civil officials are headed by the prime minister, and the military attache is respected by the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Moreover, whether it is the prime minister or the generalissimo, they are all considered super official ranks, and they are not included in the nine ranks. The reason why this is so is because the two positions of prime minister and generalissimo have always been hereditary by the successive heads of the Kong family and the Cao family, and they have never been left behind!

Although the official ranks of the prime minister and the generalissimo are noble, as the head of the top wealthy family, the people who hold these two positions naturally cannot dedicate all their time to the major affairs of the court. Therefore, the two super-grade official ranks, prime minister and generalissimo, are more like honorific titles, not the actual official positions in charge of the government.

What can really ensure the normal operation of the Cangnan Empire is to rely on the nine-rank official rank system set up by the empire.

Under the prime minister, the Cangnan Empire has a cabinet scholar, and the official is a product, although there is no name of prime minister, but there is actually the post of prime minister, which is regarded as standing at the top of the minister.

There is no limit to the specific number of scholars in the cabinet, as long as the emperor thinks that you have this ability, you can reward this official position. Under normal circumstances, there will be at least one Cabinet Scholar, and no more than five.

Under the Cabinet Scholars, there are six Shangshu, although the official rank is not of the second grade, and the official position is one order lower than that of the Cabinet Scholars, but the weight of real power is by no means below the Cabinet Scholars.

It can be said that the cabinet scholars and the six Shangshu constituted the first group of court officials in the Cangnan Empire. And this time, the children of the family who participated in Kong Ming's reception banquet almost included all the cabinet scholars and six scholars of the dynasty.

As for the cabinet writers, their rank is the same as that of the six ministers, and they are all dignified members of the third rank. However, the importance of this cabinet writer is far higher than that of the six servants! Because the state letters, official documents, and imperial edicts of the Cangnan Empire all came from the hands of the cabinet writers...,

This kind of real power, even if it is called the first of the three products, is not exaggerated. Generally speaking, the person who has held this position, even if he is not promoted to the rank of cabinet scholar, will be in charge of one of the six ministries, which is definitely an enviable fat shortage!

Duan Xingchao's entry into the office with Enke is already a shortcut, even if he is the top name of Enke, but he was suddenly promoted to such an important position as the cabinet writer, which can be said to be unprecedented in the Cangnan Empire. This period of prosperity is definitely a miracle of success!

More importantly, according to the meaning of the words of the third prince Hu Hao, Duan Xingchao was able to serve as the cabinet writer Langzhong because of his recommendation to Emperor Hu De, so what does this mean?

The person who takes the position through Enke has always been regarded as the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and this time Enke, Emperor Hood let the third prince Hu Hao take the position on his behalf, what does it mean?

Duan Xingchao and Hu Hao went in and out of the same party, which shows that he has become a party of the three princes, does this mean that the third prince Hu Hao is the most qualified person to inherit the throne? If this is the case, then Hu Hao is indeed qualified to say that Duan Xingchao will be promoted to the post of cabinet scholar in the future!

Many children of the family gathered together to hold a banquet for Kong Ming, which can be said to be an exchange between young people, and has nothing to do with the major affairs of the court and politics. However, with the appearance of the third prince Hu Hao, and the identification of Duan Xingchao's position, the situation suddenly became more delicate.

If someone at this time said that they were friends with the Three Princes or Duan Xingchao, does it mean that the family behind you has also made a choice and is willing to become a party of the Three Princes?

It doesn't matter how much you are in charge, but if it really involves the battle for succession, unless the family elders have clearly taken sides, who would be stupid to act as a leader at this time?

All of a sudden, the banquet, which had been a little lively, became deserted again. However, Hu Hao and Duan Xingchao toasted to the people at the same table as if they were unconscious, as if the cold scene was not caused by them.

Suddenly, Kong Qingyi, who had been silent, let out a burst of laughter, and then raised his wine glass to salute Duan Xingchao, and said, "I heard Brother Duan's accent just now, it seems to be from Izumo County, I wonder if Lu Dao has anything to do with Renjun Duan Sage?"

Hearing Kong Qingyi mention the word "Renjun", Duan Xingchao's face suddenly became solemn, and he said respectfully: "Renjun Ancestor is the Ninth Ancestor below!"

Kong Qingyi raised his wine glass and said in a loud voice: "Disrespectful, disrespectful!" It turns out that after Brother Duan is a saint, Kong is fortunate to get acquainted today, it is really fate, and this glass of wine will be done as a respect. ”

Kong Qingyi said as he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass. After the previous ceremony, Duan Xingchao naturally knew Kong Qingyi, and knew that this was the eldest son of the Kong family who was most likely to take over the position of the head of the Kong family in the future, and he did not dare to slack off at this time, and hurriedly returned a glass of wine.

You must know that if Duan Xingchao really has a chance to become a cabinet scholar one day, then when he is the prime minister of the dynasty, it is very likely that he will be Kong Qingyi!

Since the eldest son of the Kong family in front of him is very likely to be his future boss, how could Duan Xingchao be rude in front of him?

However, after Kong Qingyi pointed out Duan Xingchao's position, the banquet suddenly became lively again, and everyone toasted Duan Xingchao one after another, but the reason for the toast was the same as admiring the "Renjun" style. As a result, Duan Xingchao's cabinet writer is not in the office, but no one pays attention to it.

Friendship with the current cabinet writer Lang Zhong may be seen as taking sides. However, making friends with the descendants of "Renjun" is purely a friendship of righteousness, and who dares to say that there is any utilitarian heart in this? You must know that the "Renjun" paragraph is regarded as a Buddha of all families in Izumo County, and is even called a saint by the people...,

As a powerless scholar can get the title of "saint", looking at the entire Cangnan Empire, there is only one person called "Renjun" Duan Ziwen! Although Duan Xingchao is a cabinet writer, compared with the descendants of "Renjun", the name of the descendants of "Renjun" is more resounding, and it is more worthy of being befriended!

Besides, as a descendant of "Renjun", as long as he enters Enke, how can he not nod his head? Even if he is immediately canonized as the cabinet writer, it is because people do have this capital, who calls them saints?

In this way, the shock brought to everyone by the third prince Hu Hao just now by borrowing Duan Xingchao's position disappeared invisibly. However, Hu Hao did not show the slightest unhappiness because of this, and still talked and laughed during the banquet, and in addition to being bold, he also showed his approachable style.

This third prince Hu Hao, even if he has an opinion in his heart, it is impossible to reveal it at this time. You must know that although Hu Hao is the third prince, he is not officially canonized after all, and in front of the eldest prince of the Kong family, he has no capital to be proud of. Moreover, the tradition of the Cangnan Empire for hundreds of years is that the Kong and Cao families will never participate in the battle for succession, which also makes only Kong Qingyi qualified to cut Hu Hao's face among all the people present.

As for Kong Qingyi, who has a low-key idea and has not been very vocal all the time, there is only one reason why he will resolve everyone's predicament at this time and let the banquet return to normalcy - that is, this banquet is Kong Ming's reception banquet!

No matter what purpose Hu Hao had in mind to attend this banquet uninvited, he could not be allowed to spoil the atmosphere of the banquet! Otherwise, wouldn't Hu Hao become the protagonist of this banquet?

The three princes of the Hu royal family, who will inherit the throne, Kong Qingyi doesn't care, anyway, no matter who ascends the throne the most, the Kong family or the Kong family will not be affected in any way.

On the contrary, it is Kong Ming, only if he grows up as soon as possible and becomes the core figure of the Kong family, it is in the best interests of the Kong family! Therefore, Kong Qingyi can cut the face of the three princes for Kong Ming!

The Kong family should have such confidence!
