Huaishu Hutong, Xu Mansion.

Xu Jie returned from the palace in an official sedan chair, had a simple supper as usual, and then took time to meet some officials.

Now is the most critical period of external investigation, which is related to the fate of local officials in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but officials are inevitably coming to the door. As the sub-author of the Ming Dynasty, who is in charge of the title of Minister of Personnel, he cannot dominate all officials.

Fate, but undoubtedly has a very high voice.

The guests tonight were different from the past. This time it was not the other party who came to the door through relationships, but Xu Jie took the initiative to invite people to the mansion in a sedan chair.

"Have you met Mr. Xu!"

Wei Wenqiu came to the study and looked respectful. Although he had sent a message to the Xu Mansion as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he was suddenly summoned by the Xu Mansion and would not think that the two had any connection.

The same is true. While maintaining respect, he was also peeking at the true intention of the high-ranking Daming Jisuke suddenly summoning him, thus making the most advantageous decision.

"Master Wei, please sit down!" Xu Jie was wearing a home-based scholar's uniform and was sitting at the desk reading a book. He didn't look like a sub-super of the Ming Dynasty, but more like an elder with an easy-going personality. At this time, he raised his hand and smiled.

Said.

"Thank you, Master Xu!" Wei Wenyi sat down in front of the chair, but did not dare to hold his butt, and continued to try to peek at the other party's attempt.

Xu Jie looked up at him and asked with concern: "Magistrate Wei, Leizhou is located in a remote place. It is probably not easy to be a parent official there?"

"Thank you Mr. Xu to be concerned! Although Leizhou is remote and occasionally strong, the people's customs are good! The officials... can still be competent!" Wei Wenjin answered respectfully and observed Xu Jie carefully.

Xu Jie did not comment and sighed slightly: "This cabinet has also been a local official and is well aware of the difficulties! It is not easy for you to stabilize the situation of Leizhou Prefecture and make the tax revenue in Leizhou last year increase and not decrease last year.

Something!”

Xu Jie's career was not as smooth as a traditional poet. It took him thirty years from entering the officialdom to entering the cabinet, and he spent a long time in the local area.

Although he was given a Tanhualang in the second year of Jiajing, he was delayed by his golden period in the Hanlin Academy due to his sorrow. Later, when his official regained his post, he offended the cabinet minister Zhang Cong.

He suffered the biggest setback in his career. He was kicked from an editor of the Hanlin Academy to a local 7th rank by a political speculator. He was demoted from the capital to Fujian. Xu Jie could be said to have fallen from heaven to hell.

Perhaps it was this lesson that allowed Xu Jie to grow up and saw the sinisterness of the court clearly.

Later, he served as the head of the Huangzhou Prefecture Tongzhi, the deputy inspector of Zhejiang, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi, and other local positions. After local training, he was finally promoted back to the capital by Xia Yan.

That's right, Xu Jie was a relatively few Ming officials from local officials to cabinet ministers, and he was considered a cabinet minister who was more familiar with the local situation.

"Gei Xu, I'm sorry!" Wei Wenqi originally wanted to peek at Xu Jie's intention, but at this time he felt a politeness in his heart.

He was a Jinshi from the Third Class. Although he had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, he had no background and could only work hard to survive in the local area. This made his temples turn gray and he finally got to be a prefect of the fourth-rank.

After seeing the situation in Leizhou, he was very excited, and the situation was far better than he thought. However, it was not long after a good life, but he encountered this thrilling external inspection.

There are people in the court who are easy to be officials, and this is really not false at all.

Although he had made no achievements in Leizhou, he had no mistakes and could not be inferior. However, things in the world were so ruthless and unrighteous, and his career was about to end.

Over the past few days, although Lin Weiran gave him a reassurance at the last wedding banquet, he said that no matter how bad he was, he would find a peace for him and would never let him be dismissed directly.

But he didn't dare to take it seriously. On the one hand, he was not Lin Shiran's person, but on the other hand, he didn't believe that Lin Shiran had such a huge influence, which made him lose food all day long.

Now that he was received by the second assistant of the same day and said such fair words to him, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he felt that he had finally found Bo Le.

Xu Jie saw his reaction, but suddenly raised his hand and said, "Master Wei, go back first! Although you have been awarded the honors, our cabinet will give you justice and will not let you take it seriously.

Dismissed!”

"I am here to thank the elder for your great kindness!" Wei Wenqi immediately bowed and thanked him, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Humans are greedy animals. At first, he really just wanted to keep the black hat. But now Mr. Xu has made such a promise. Although the black hat has been kept, he has not promised him to continue to stay in the office of the prefect of Leizhou.

However, during his tenure as the governor of Leizhou, he enjoyed many unspeakable benefits. He could get a lot of silver from the trade of some merchants alone.

He is now facing this secondary assistant of the dynasty, and the secondary assistant obviously attaches importance to him, but he can't help but have greater ambitions in his heart. He wants to maintain the position of the prefect of Leizhou and even go further in the future

.

Before coming, he had thought about it and guessed that Mr. Xu wanted to recruit him this time. But now it seems that this is not the case. Mr. Xu seems so profound and unfathomable.

"Please!" The butler of the Xu family made a gesture and had already issued an order to expel the guests.

Wei Wenying's eyes were full of reluctance, and even struggled and begged. He hoped that Xu Jie could recruit him and give him a future. Then he knelt down at Xu Jie's feet, and was wholeheartedly loyal to this person.

Asahi Suk.

Xu Jie turned a blind eye and was already reading a book.

Why……

Wei Wenqi sighed lightly, knowing that this time he had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he couldn't help but follow the butler in disappointment and walked through the courtyard towards the door outside.

This is true for many things, usually another village of light and light.

When he was passing through the corridor of the courtyard, it was when he was depressed that a voice next to him suddenly stopped him. When he asked for the news, he was Taichang Shaoqing, who had just been promoted from the sixth rank Shang Baocheng to the fourth rank, who had been promoted from the sixth rank, to the fourth rank, to the other rank.

Xu Fan.

In addition, there is a man next to Xu Fan wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, and his demeanor is beyond the reach of an ordinary fourth-rank official.

Xu Fan and Wei Wenxuan talked about specifically, but it was not worthy of being told by others. Under Xu Fan's arrangement, Wei Wenxuan took the sedan chair in the Xu Mansion that night and quietly left the Xu Mansion.
