"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. ”

"If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass?"

The city lord's mansion heard the woman's murmur again.

Guo Youzhihou, a member of the Ministry of Labor, was outside the door, standing with numb legs and waiting for a long time.

The man inside the door whispered, "Would you like to come in and have a drink?"

The voice is soft to the bone.

Guo Youzhi raised his head and saw the woman who pushed the door open, born with a beautiful face.

Extremely beautiful.

It's a pity that I'm a little drunk.

......

......

If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, which lasted for a month and had not changed in the slightest so far, the City Lord's Mansion in Thunder City would not have been as lively as it is now.

The Ministry of Works, who was ordered to go north to repair and invite the mouth of the Beiguan Gorge, was trapped in Thunder City by this heavy snow for a month.

Coincidentally, the men of the Criminal Department, who were detaining death row prisoners and were ordered to exile them to the northern plains, were also trapped here.

What's even more coincidental is that the soldiers and horses who transported the ordnance of the Beiguan soldiers came earlier than the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of Punishment.

The three squire bosses, no one is higher than anyone in terms of official rank.

When they came to Thunder City, the heavy snow had not yet risen, and the three of them fought over who would go out of the city first, and finally the sudden heavy snow made them all shut up.

Thirty-seven cities, except for a few very large cities, most of the cities under the command of the princes chose to lock the city to resist the snow and store grain.

Thunder City was snowing heavily and closed the city, and the three squires could only stare dryly.

The new city lord in the city lord's mansion didn't seem to be waiting to see these three squires.

They don't care what the impact of their task will be if they are overdue.

The three waiters who were entertained by the good students and stayed in the Thunder City City Lord's Mansion could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

The three squires are old fritters who have spent time in Luoyang City.

Luoyang, July 7, has become a taboo word in officialdom.

Frightened.

Therefore, this female city lord surnamed Liu, even if she drinks and writes and copies books every day, even if it is ten times more ridiculous, the three squires dare not say a word.

The three squires have shrunk their heads and have been mixed in the officialdom for a year or two, and some young people behind them are bold and not afraid of things.

A few old turtles didn't bother to pay attention to it, and let them go.

The brave die quickly.

In the eyes of the three waiters, Guo Youzhi is the kind of person who dies quickly.

Guo Youzhi has been standing in front of Liu Rushi's Mansion for almost two weeks.

When the momentum of this heavy snow was at its most ferocious, this benevolent brother knocked on the door of the city lord's mansion and explained his reasoning to Liu Rushi.

"The task of the Ministry of Industry this time is to repair the Beiguan project, and if it cannot arrive as scheduled, there will be very serious consequences. ”

In a word.

The door closed with a "snap".

Liu Rushi didn't bother to pay attention to this sesame petty official about the size of himself.

Even the three waiters who are in the third grade don't dare to disturb their own rest, you are a member of the Ministry of Labor?

Everyone was waiting for Guo Youzhi to knock on Liu Rushi's City Lord's Mansion for the second time.

Wait for his jokes.

The second time the door opened.

......

......

Liu Rushi, who was full of alcohol, exhaled gently, "Do you want to drink?"

Guo Youzhi stood with sore legs, and was about to speak, when the woman handed him a wine jug.

"Take a sip and reason with me. ”

Guo Youzhi's face turned red, looking at this wine jug with his own big head.

This woman usually drinks with this?

Liu Rushi looked at him with a smile.

Drink.

Drink the fuck.

Guo You drank it in one gulp.

His head was like being poured with mortar bought by the Ministry of Industry from Qi Liang at a high price, if it wasn't for Liu Rushi to support him, I am afraid that he would have fallen directly to the ground.

Liu Rushi opened his mouth lightly and said, "Say." ”

Guo Youzhi's mind went blank, and then the world swirled, he didn't know what to say, he only felt that his soul and body had been separated, his consciousness was falling and falling, and he didn't have time to think, and he had long forgotten the words he had prepared in advance.

"You come and tell me......" Liu Rushi smiled and asked calmly: "What are the serious consequences if the Ministry of Industry fails to complete the task this time?"

The people who linger in the Tianshu Building in Luoyang City are all the high-level officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so how can Liu Rushi not know what the officialdom of the Northern Wei Dynasty has rotted into?

If those three squires really cared about this mission, they would have crawled to knock on their door in tears.

Only this kind of hairy boy, who is ignorant of the world, is used as a gun, and is stubborn like a donkey every day knocking on the door to find someone to reason.

After Guo Youzhi heard Liu Rushi's words, the whole person trembled and reacted greatly.

His legs were limp, and he was almost unsteady on his feet, but his eyes were extremely serious about the female city lord in front of him.

"Yes...... Dead person. ”

The sound is tough.

"A lot of people will die. ”

Liu Rushi was expressionless.

Guo Youzhi continued to say with a big tongue: "The Ministry of Industry can't repair the Beiguan, if the barbarians go south, many people will really die." ”

The woman on the other side suddenly smiled.

She smiled and lowered her eyebrows, thinking that the truth that this kid said was quite reasonable.

It's not that I'm worried about my head falling to the ground.

Rather, they are worried that the people will be poisoned.

When Guo Youzhi's mind was blank, he heard Liu Rushi ask lightly: "The waiter of the Ministry of Works is a positive third grade, he doesn't care." You are an ordinary outsider, do you have five grades?"

Guo Youzhi has heard such lines countless times.

When I participated in the scholar's banquet, some people said that there were children of second-class scholars in Luoyang who were cheating.

No one dared to stand up.

He stepped up.

fell from the top list to the second list, and there was simply a ranking.

His teacher, Libu Langzhong, was woken up by the senior official from several levels, and said something similar.

"The Ministry of Rites is a second-grade book, and he doesn't care. Are you an ordinary man, do you have five grades?"

Rite Langzhong, is the fifth product.

Guo Youzhi affected his teacher, he fell off the list, and the teacher was imprisoned.

Even if the teacher helped him resist this matter, Guo Youzhi was also sent to the most bitter and tiring Ministry of Engineering, and spent almost 12 months outside to build the project, even if he made excellent political achievements, he did not listen to them.

Guo Youzhi has been thinking, did he do something wrong?

Why is it that when you stand up, you are surrounded by indifferent eyes?

He can't forget the miserable appearance of his teacher when he was imprisoned, the embarrassing scene when he was poked in the backbone when he went to the teacher's grave a year later, and the cold and ruthless face of the so-called big man.

He wondered what he would do if he went back in time and started all over again.

Guo Youzhi said to Liu Rushi seriously: "Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Works, from the five products. ”

From the five pins, of course, there are five pins.

Back then, someone asked the teacher, is there a five-grade in the rite department?

Here's what the teacher said: "Libu Langzhong, is the fifth grade." ”

So the teacher took charge of the fraud case back then.

So Guo Youzhi said his truth today.

......

......

Everyone was waiting for Guo Yuzhi to come up with a joke.

This stunned young man has been standing in the City Lord's Mansion for so long, even if the City Lord really opens the door and lets the people of the Ministry of Works leave Thunder City, and finally the Ministry of Works completes the task, it is Lord Shilang who will be rewarded.

In other words, if the Ministry of Industry finally messes up, this black cauldron will naturally be thrown on Guo Youzhi, a member of the Ministry of Works, who angered the city lord.

Be a fool for one's pains.

Only fools do it.

Zeng Tai, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, looked at Guo Youzhi, who was drunk, and his face was quite complicated.

This old fritter has been soaked in the officialdom of the Northern Wei Dynasty for almost ten years, and he knows when to say what to say and what to do, and in the end he still has a trace of kindness, raised his hands and sleeves, came to Liu Rushi, and said respectfully: "This son is drunk, if he just made a disrespectful speech, I hope the adults will not care." ”

The city lords of the thirty-seven cities were almost all under the command of the feudal princes back then, even if they weren't, the treatment was not far behind, and the officialdom was not awarded, but the most difficult thing to provoke was this group of people standing in the center of Luoyang, they were the most powerful people in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After Xuan Shangyu's edict, Liu Rushi was already a figure at the level of the thirty-seven city lords.

Powerful?

In the eyes of the six squires, this is indeed the case.

Not to mention the little outsider Guo Youzhi.

Liu Rushi's eyes were extremely calm, looking at Zeng Tai, the servant of the Ministry of Works, who was covered with cold sweat, and thought to himself, this is the power of the monstrous?

A single order to open the city decided the life and death of tens of millions of people.

She gathered the red robe on her body and said softly: "The three people and horses pack up their things, and tomorrow Thunder City will open the city gate and let them go." ”

Zeng Tai looked up in disbelief.

Liu Rushi took the voice that only two people could hear, and said, "Lord Zeng Tai, what is the name of this outsider?"

Zeng Tai replied to Guo Youzhi's three words with trepidation.

Liu Rushi nodded and cleared his throat.

"Guo Youzhi, a member of the Ministry of Works, is favored by the city lord, and when the snow stops this year, the city lord will transfer him back to Thunder City as the governor of Thunder City. ”

In a word, thunder.

Zeng Tai was stunned.

Liu Rushi smiled and patted the shoulder of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then slowly closed the door of the mansion.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites had a complicated face, looked at the drunken kid he was holding, and muttered: "Guo Youzhi, Guo Youzhi, you didn't drink this pot of wine in vain." ”

......

......

In this world, there are many little people who are struggling at the bottom.

For a member of the Ministry of Rites, being promoted to the governor of the Thirty-Seven Cities is already a great opportunity.

This is a kind of leaping dragon gate.

And in the officialdom of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are too many people who leap into the dragon gate.

Xiguan Hanmen headed by Jiang Qingyi.

Enter the young blood of the Senluo Dao Temple.

People always start from the bottom and climb up step by step.

Before you stand up, you need to stand up.

Yes.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to stand up and say a word, and it also takes a lot of money.

There is no chance in this world that must be grasped.

But at least one thing is needed, and that is courage.

After closing the door of the mansion, Liu Rushi leaned lightly behind the door, his face complicated.

She pulled the spy out of her bosom.

Two of the original convicts from the north had gone south, and the face of one of them was extremely familiar.

Yuan Li slowly fluctuated, and finally burned into a fire, burning the secret spy to the end.
