For the influx of invitations, Xu Xian was not uninterested.

Participating in the literary meeting and pretending to be forced to slap his face, when he crossed over to this world, he did it too many times invisibly, and he didn't feel anything anymore.

As for the invitation of the Qinglou woman, there is a good wife in the family who looks like a fairy, and other women can still enter the eyes of Xu Xian?

In addition to writing down the 'tea and horse market' policy, Xu Xian's main focus was on Xu Zhengqing's case and Xu Mu'e's whereabouts.

He didn't have any power base in Yingtianfu now, but fortunately, the eccentric Xiaoqing forcibly stuffed the five ghosts to him before leaving, which helped him.

The five ghosts were originally used by Xiaoqing to practice the Five Ghosts Handling Technique, although the combat effectiveness is very weak, I am afraid that even some ordinary Jianghu Dao people are not opponents. But what they are best at is to be a gentleman on the beam, come and go without a trace, steal things in hand, and find people is not bad.

Seven days have passed since Xu Xian came to Ying Tianfu in a blink of an eye.

Another court meeting.

During this period, Xu Xian had already written the 'Tea and Horse Market' as a fold and presented it to the emperor, and above the court meeting, he was ordered to enter the Jinluan Palace, and was in the same column with the hundred officials to discuss the new policy.

This time, Xu Xian officially appeared in front of hundreds of officials for the first time. Before this, the civil and military officials, no matter what camp they were, were actually similar to ordinary people, and they were also a little curious about Xu Xian.

At this court meeting, the new policy of the tea and horse exchange market can be regarded as completely passed, and it is about to enter the stage of formal implementation.

Among them, Xu Xian, as a teaching assistant to Dr. Guozijian, became the special adviser of the 'Tea and Horse Division', which is roughly the second-in-command, and has a lot of power;

The Ministry of Officials is the first of the six departments, second only to Shangshu, and is already an important official in the imperial court. Xue Zhengmao, as a waiter of the Ministry of Officials, is an old man with a long white beard, who is one line higher than Jiang Haibo, the main murderer of Xu Zhengqing.

But fortunately, Xue Zhengmao is not like Jiang Haibo, he has completely fallen to the appeasement faction and become Qin Hui's henchman.

Xue Zhengmao, like Jiang Haibo before, is impartial and does not occupy any faction.

To put it nicely, he has always been fair in his position, and his iron-faced selflessness is a clear stream in the court where the factional division is extremely serious; if it is ugly, in the description of most officials, he is a stone in a thatched pit, smelly and hard, no one will give face, and sometimes even the emperor will be tough and tough!

Because Xue Zhengmao is very senior and old, he is close to retirement, and he doesn't know when he will resign. Otherwise, the position of the most important official in the six ministries would not have been allowed to be neutral, and would have been pocketed by the two factions long ago.

Now, they can only obediently wait for Xue Zhengmao to resign and return to his hometown, and then come to fight for the ownership of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. If you persecute Xue Zhengmao now, you will only gain more than you lose.

Xu Xian was not surprised by the emperor's appointment.

He never thought that the emperor would let him, an unofficial and unemployed, pure little newcomer, directly and completely control the Tea and Horse Division, the importance of the Tea and Horse Division is not low, it is related to the country and the society, of course, the old man must be in charge. He can be appointed as the second-in-command, which can be regarded as the emperor values him very much.

Xue Zhengmao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is indeed the best candidate to serve as the imperial history of the tea horse.

At present, there are not many officials in the court who are impartial and do not belong to any one party.

If the official rank is too low, if he is appointed to the imperial history of tea and horses, it is equivalent to being roasted on the fire, and the interests of both sides must be considered, and he will inevitably be timid when doing things.

Only Xue Zhengmao can not be afraid of the threat of the two factions and push the new deal, and no one dares to hinder him.

When the dynasty was dispersed, the hundred officials walked towards the palace gate, Xu Xian was also in the flow of people, and many civil officials from the main battle faction and the Confucian Holy Courtyard came over to greet Xu Xian with a smile.

After a while, Xue Zhengmao, who was short and thin with a white beard, also walked towards Xu Xian, without much expression on his face, and did not say much, but after reaching out and patting Xu Xian's shoulder, he said coldly: "Young man, you have to do a good job in the future!" After speaking, without waiting for Xu Xian to answer, he turned around and left.

"Xue Lao is such a character, arrogant and cold, you will slowly get used to it in the future. Li Yuanhui and Xu Xian went out together, preparing to return to the National Prison.

Xu Xian has a position in the Tea and Horse Division, but since he is a consultant, he naturally does not have to go to the Tea and Horse Division every day. His main identity is still the assistant teacher of Guozijian, so Guozijian is where he usually stays.

Li Yuanhui continued to smile and said: "But you don't have to worry too much, although Xue Lao's personality may be a little weird, his character is still very good, and he is worthy of respect." With him on top, your life will actually be much better in the future, at least those people in the appeasement faction will not dare to put any pressure on you. ”

Xu Xian nodded.

The emperor's arrangement does have this meaning in it.

Walking out of the palace gate, Xu Xian was just about to get into Li Yuanhui's carriage and return to China by the way, when suddenly someone in the back shouted Xu Xian's name: "Hanwen, wait!"

Xu Xian looked back and saw a handsome man wearing a python robe, a purple and gold crown, and a folding fan in his hand in winter, followed by a feminine eunuch.

It is the eleventh son of His Majesty today, Duan Wang Zhao Ji!

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Duan. ”

Xu Xian and Li Yuanhui bowed slightly.

"Han Wen and Master Li don't need to be polite. Zhao Ji looked at Xu Xian with a smile and said, "I heard a few days ago that you came to the capital in Hanwen." However, I thought that after you were summoned by your father, these days must be very busy, so I did not come to disturb you. After today's court meeting, you should be considered to be free in Hanwen, right?Go, I'll invite you to drink today!" Maybe he guessed what Xu Xian was going to say, so before Xu Xian could speak, Zhao Ji immediately pretended to say again: "Don't refuse!"

Xu Xian shook his head helplessly.

He really wanted to refuse.

At the beginning, the two of them did not have a very happy time in Suzhou Mansion, and Zhao Ji and King Naliang obviously had a good relationship. And this Duan Wang is not a simple person, obviously and very deep in the city, not as innocent as he looks.

However, Xu Xian suddenly thought of Xu Mu'e's matter, seven days have passed, and the five ghosts still haven't been able to find out much useful news. Zhao Ji is one of the most favored princes of the emperor today, and it would be much better if he could ask him for help.

So Xu Xian nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
