...

Zhao Wujiang was in the main hall of Xingqingyuan. He was carefully looking at the layout of the house when he suddenly heard two quarrels coming from far and near.

He and Jia Ersan looked sideways and saw that a boy in white and a boy in blue and brocade were running toward him, pushing and chasing each other.

Huh? Liu Feng? Liu Mang? Zhao Wujiang was stunned. It seemed that the news that he was rewarded by the empress with Xingqingyuan spread quickly.

Liu Mang and Liu Feng rushed across the threshold and came to Zhao Wujiang. Without saying a word, Liu Mang knelt down with a plop, holding up a bulging kit with both hands:

"Master Zhao, please take a look!"

He knelt down so quickly, what should I do? Liu Feng froze on the spot. Soon, he saw Liu Mang giving him a look that contained pride. Suddenly, his heart surged.

I, Liu Feng, am never weaker than others! He snorted coldly in his heart, and knelt down in front of Zhao Wujiang. He imitated Liu Mang's movements and raised a kit with both hands:

"Manager Zhao, what happened today has offended me a lot..."

Zhao Wujiang looked a little weird, took the two people's kits, and slowly opened them:

"Everyone, get up."

"Master Zhao is generous and kind, thank you very much, Master Zhao!" Liu Mang said quickly and stood up.

Liu Feng also spoke:

"Thank you, Manager Zhao."

Your reaction is always too slow for me... Liu Mang felt proud and glanced at Liu Feng with contempt. Liu Feng glared back and felt an inexplicable frustration in his heart.

Zhao Wujiang opened the two men's kits and found that Liu Mang's kit contained fifteen thousand taels of gold tickets and a pure gold and jade token with the word "Liu" engraved on the front.

On the reverse side, the word "Jingshang" is engraved concavely.

In Liu Feng's bag, there was only a palm-sized gold and black token. The token was cold to the touch and seemed to be made of black iron. There was a "lang" character with a flying dragon and phoenix engraved on both sides.

"Manager Zhao."

"Master Zhao."

There was a greeting call outside the door, and it was Liu Zhe and Liu Wanshan who came over.

Zhao Wujiang smiled back:

"Master Liu, Master Liu."

Lord Liu? Hiss! Lord Zhongshu Ling Liu Zhe, Lord Liu, no wonder I look so familiar... Liu Wanshan, a member of the Household Department, glanced around, and his heart was trembling. Lord Zhongshu Ling actually came to visit Lord Zhao in person?

"Liu Wanshan, a member of the household department and a foreign minister, please see Mr. Zhongshu Ling." He put away the shock in his heart and saluted to Zhongshu Ling.

Liu Zhe nodded lightly and ordered:

"You guys go down first. I have something to say with Mr. Zhao."

"Yes." Liu Wanshan clasped his fists, dragged his nephew Liu Mang outside the house, stood in the inner courtyard, and waited quietly.

After all, it was me, Liu Feng, who played the chess game better... Liu Feng saw Liu Mang standing in the courtyard waiting glumly, and felt proud when he heard his grandfather Liu Zhe say majestically:

"Feng'er, you go down too."

"Ah? Oh..." Liu Feng shrank his neck, bowed his hands to Zhao Wujiang and Liu Zhe, and then retreated into the courtyard.

When the three of them were standing respectfully waiting in the courtyard, Liu Zhe, whose beard and hair were completely white, finally spoke:

"Things in the palace and Feng'er's matters..."

"I understand, Mr. Liu, don't worry." Zhao Wujiang smiled lightly.

Hearing Zhao Wujiang's answer, Liu Zhe's old face showed a smile:

"General Manager Zhao is a smart man, but there are some restrictions that are difficult to break. Did Zhao Wujiang pay attention to the token that Feng'er just sent?"

"Yes." Zhao Wujiang took out the gold and black token and rubbed the word "lang" engraved on it:

"This should be the official badge of the Secretary Province."

Ministry of Secretaries, the official collection institution of Bactria.

Books were extremely precious items in Daxia, and they were mostly written by hand on bamboo slips, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some rare ancient books were even worth a fortune.

Da Xia Guangluo's most wonderful books from all over the world are hidden in the secret palace of the palace, which is called "Secretary".

"That's right." Liu Zhe nodded:

"This is a token of the official position of Secretary Lang. The official residence is from the sixth rank."

Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help rubbing his fingers. Now he was obviously a eunuch, and he was the chief manager of the harem. However, he was an official in the harem and could not enter the court.

The token given to him by Liu Zhe, although it was only a casual position like Secretary Lang, but it marked that once he held it, he would be an official authorized by the court and could join the court.

This meaning, for his current official status, is equivalent to crossing the class.

"Master Liu, this gift is a bit precious." Zhao Wujiang smiled lightly.

"Those who are capable will live there." Liu Zhe said with kind eyes and brows.

"I believe in Dugu Yihe's vision and my own intuition. There are undercurrents in the court now. There are not many people who can stand on the same side..."

Daxia is now like a house with a leaky ceiling. It's okay when it's sunny, but it's hard to endure when it rains. These veterans have been in power for many years and should have noticed a lot of things, otherwise they wouldn't have said such things... Zhao Wujiang rubbed his hand

With his fingers and eyes flashing, Liu Zhe's words hinted at his investment in him and his intention to win over him.

He went to Dugu Yihe's house twice. The first time he was entertaining some colleagues, and the second time he met with the Minister of War and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the study. They were all trying to win over others. Now Liu Zhe is the same. There must be something wrong with them doing this.

It makes sense, it seems that this Great Xia Dynasty has too many secrets that I don’t know about...
