In early spring, the rain and snow fall, and the high gate welcomes guests.

Because the capital has been connected into the imperial capital of two dynasties, the exquisiteness of the east and the west is also naturally formed with the gathering of the powerful and the location of the palace.

This has nothing to do with Feng Shui, it is nothing more than things gathering like and people in groups.

In fact, it is just a few streets away from the palace of the king of Qi, which is located in the west of the capital, and the royal family is surrounded by powerful people.

At this time, it was snowing and raining, there were not many visitors, and although the gate of the Qi Palace's mansion was closed, the side door creaked open.

A middle-aged steward stood at the stairs and saw an ox cart coming, with a reserved smile, and saw a man in a five-rank official uniform getting down from the ox cart.

"Lord Shao, please. The steward greeted him and said with a smile.

The attitude is respectful, but there is a kind of pride in this respect, but it is a pity that the first time the official came to the palace, at this time has been shocked by the grandeur of the palace gate, and there are motionless armor soldiers standing on both sides, so that he subconsciously holds his breath, and the attitude of the steward calms the nervous mood in a timely manner.

"There is labor. Swallowing in his throat, the officer tried to speak calmly, not noticing the steward's hidden contempt.

The two entered through a side door.

Walking from the main road, walking less than 100 meters, turning into a gravel paved path, walking for another section, going up to the corridor, corridor after corridor, as if in a labyrinth.

The servants on the road are all brightly dressed, and the maids are all bright-eyed and bright-eyed, although they are not very beautiful, but there are also touching points, the officials dare not take a second look, and every time they meet them, they immediately look away, and they are gentlemen.

When the steward saw this, he shook his head secretly.

What kind of person the prince of his own family is, there is no better understanding than those who serve them closely, this Lord Shao's temperament is afraid that it will be difficult to enter the eyes of the prince.

Although the area of the Qi Wangfu is not large, after all, the size of the capital is limited, but compared with the ordinary officials' residences, it is already a lot larger, plus the ingenious construction, carving, the courtyard is set of yards, the garden is a garden, the light is exquisite small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, beautiful and never repeats the corridor carving and painting, it is dizzying.

Shao Qinai was born in the second class and had also entered the palace, but at this moment, he felt that although this palace was not as magnificent as the palace, he did not lose anything in terms of detail enjoyment.

He has been in the Hanlin Academy for several years, because he was a second-class jinshi, although he is not a person who can speak well, but he is outstanding in terms of literary talent.

Last year, I visited King Qi once, but at that time, my position was too low, and I only mixed up, and I didn't want to be today, and suddenly King Qi summoned him and hinted that it was acceptable, which was really overjoyed.

"King Qi has a virtuous name, this is what I have seen with my own eyes, and I have heard others mention it with my own ears, can he be a virtuous corporal, isn't this exactly the appearance of the master?"

"I read poetry and books, isn't it just to assist the Lord and show my ambitions?"

"If you don't set up a prince, people's hearts will be unstable, and who is suitable for the prince except for the king of Qi?"

"For the sake of the stability of the country and the peace of mind, I should also assist the future Maven. ”

The so-called bookish atmosphere is exactly like this.

Although Shao Qin is more than 30 years old, he has been working in the Hanlin Academy, and he naturally has a literati side in his temperament.

Today, it is the time when Shao Qin officially came to visit the lord.

In the large study room in the main courtyard of the Qi Palace, King Qi was talking with his staff member Wen Xunpeng, and when he heard the report from the attendants outside, he knew that Shao Qin had come to see him, so he glanced at Wen Xunpeng, and Wen Xunpeng immediately walked to the side of the screen and avoided it temporarily.

"Please come in, Lord Shao?" King Qi sat alone on his chair and laughed loudly.

Only then did Shao Qin enter respectfully.

"Minister Shao Tan, I have seen the prince. ”

King Qi raised his eyebrows: "What, Jingzhi, you still call this king the prince?"

Shao Qin hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Minister Shao Tan, meet the lord!"

The attitude is very solemn.

"Okay, good, good!" King Qi got up, walked a few steps to Shao Tan, and helped him up with his own hands.

"The poems of respect, this king can be famous for a long time, and I know that you have the ambition to work hard for the people, you can rest assured that this king will not treat the people who follow this king. ”

"You are both talented and ambitious, and when you come to Japan, the king recommends you to go to the six departments for training. ”

"Don't let this king down. ”

"The minister must do his best, and he will live up to the trust of the prince!"

King Qi chatted with him for a while, and after a few words of encouragement, he let him retreat.

Even so, Shao Tan's heart was hot.

He is now just a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy of the fifth grade, King Qi is the prince with the highest voice, how noble the other party is, not only personally received him, encouraged himself, but also knew his own words, and his tone was close, so that he couldn't wait to repay him immediately.

After Shao Qin left, the steward who brought him in came in again, reported Shao Qin's words and deeds to the King of Qi, and then quietly retreated.

"Congratulations to the prince, there is another useful doorman!" At this time, Wen Xunpeng, who was hiding behind the screen, turned out, out of his heart, he really didn't know what King Qi had taken a fancy to this person, but it didn't prevent King Qi from being happy.

King Qi smiled casually: "Mr. Wen, compared to you, he is naturally inferior, even to the point that I am a little disappointed." ”

Walking back to the seat and sitting down, King Qi was a little dissatisfied with the comment: "Shao Qin is still a bit literate, but he is too dignified and dignified, and he can't let go, this is self-denial, not a superior person." ”

"Although the second class has a good background, and he will be able to be promoted step by step in the future, it is still not of much use, it is just to help and shout. ”

For the king of Qi, the refuge is either a high and powerful position, or a shrewd and capable, or a dare to fight and kill, or a party can be governed.

If you are like Wen Xunpeng, you can know how to slay dragons to assist you.

It's a pity that Shao Qin can't be relied on.

And those who are too upright must have a lot of scruples, and they will not really become their own henchmen, and they will not be able to do what they want to do.

It's not that he really didn't satisfy him, but most of those officials were smart and didn't want to stand in line at this time, and they had the confidence to fight for it, and they didn't dare to target them, for fear of pushing them to the other side.

Thinking about it, it made King Qi depressed.

Wen Xunpeng was already very embarrassed in front of King Qi, and he squeezed that Mr. Qing so much that King Qi couldn't think of it for a while, so he was naturally not stingy with a pat on the back at this time.

He smiled: "Lord Wang, you are embarrassed, you are the highest person, how can you not be solemn and respectful when you see you?"

and Zhengrong said: "Although Shao Qin is not a great talent, but after all, he is a second-class jinshi, and he has been promoted steadily over the years, and there is a brother Shao Ying who is a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and his connections are good, so there is merit in this regard." ”

"Besides, this bachelor, although his job is only to control the affairs of the edict, the annals, and the Wenhan, is really an adviser to the emperor, and he can participate in political affairs and ceremonies, so it is worth wooing. ”

"Don't say anything else, it's worth sending a message when it's critical. ”

When King Qi heard this, most of his depression disappeared, he closed the folding fan, pointed at Wen Xunpeng and smiled: "You are right, if it weren't for this, why would I meet a fifth-grade official." ”

"Besides, it's not that I fancy it, it's someone who introduced him and acted as an intermediary. As he spoke, King Qi opened the folding fan again, and on the folding fan was a vivid splash of ink painting, which was a kind of flower.
