As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around became inexplicably tense.

Gao Gong always pretended to be indifferent, but it was only related to his future, especially the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but how could he really be indifferent?

Insert an app: A perfect replica of the old version of the Book Chasing Artifact that can be changed from source—.

Although the public opinion from the outside world has pointed at him, he dared not easily believe this judgment, and the result of the matter must be confirmed by this fellow villager to him personally.

That's right, although his words and deeds seem careless, he is actually always nervous.

When Guo Pu faced Gao Gong's question, he did not respond immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed to the direction of the dining room and said lightly: "Brother Suqing, please come inside!"

Gao Gong's brows frowned slightly and looked at Guo Pu in confusion.

But he couldn't tell whether Guo Pu was deliberately trying to whet his appetite or whether something had changed. However, he believed that with the relationship between the two over the years, especially when Guo Pu was no longer hopeless to the prime minister, this fellow villager would definitely help him this time

It's right for yourself.

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Gong did not continue to ask the questions to the end, but instead left his butt on the chair board.

The two of them arrived at the dining room one in front and one later. Although they were only having a meal, there were already seven or eight plates of hearty dishes, all of which were special dishes from Henan.

The candlelight in the dining room sways, making it bright like daytime.

After all, they were officials who were born as Ci ministers. It was impossible for them to sit down and drink like rural villagers. They followed the rules of the officialdom and sat down politely to eat.

China is an agricultural nation, and the special dishes of each place are often inseparable from fish. Henan’s “fried green fish head and tail” is rich in fragrance and tender, with crispy and loose flesh, and the taste is unique.

Gao Gong's mind was not about the dishes. Although he wanted to ask for it after all, Guo Pu Gang obviously didn't mean to tell him directly, so it was difficult for him to ask.

Guo Pu is actually not a few years older than Gao Gong, but his experience in officialdom is far superior to Gao Gong, and he has become less concerned about the ups and downs of the officialdom, so he has to be much older than Gao Gong.

He naturally saw Gao Gong's reaction, but he was enjoying the delicacy quietly. He suddenly pointed to the head and tail of the fried green fish in a corner of the table and said, "Brother Sujing, you can hold this fish in the bowl and enjoy it exclusively. How about it?

?”

"Brother, I know you have the best fish, so how can you fight with you, let alone enjoy it!" Gao Gong looked up at the fish in the distance, but shook his head gently.

Guo Pu smiled and said, on his right hand, he stretched out a pair of chopsticks to pick it up at the fish head and said, "Hehe... Then you can enjoy a fish head alone!"

As he said that, the chopsticks picked up the fish head. The characteristic of "frying and squeezing the head and tail of the green fish" is that it has a strong heat, making the whole fish's bones and flesh loose, and the fish meat and skulls can be separated automatically.

That's right, when the chopsticks are pressed a little hard, the fish head will fall apart and you can't hold the fish head at all.

Huh?

Gao Gong saw this scene, but turned his head in confusion and looked at Guo Pu. However, he didn't understand why he made such a low-level mistake as a veteran of fish eating.

Guo Pu failed to hold the entire fish head over, but only grabbed a little skull and flesh into Gao Gong's bowl and said, "Sigh, although this fish head is very good, Brother Su Qing will suffer no harm!"

Gao Gong naturally didn't mind, but pointed to the dish in front of him and responded proudly: "It's okay, the fried purple crispy meat in front of me is burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, which is much worse than the fish head!"

When Guo Pu saw Gao Gong's behavior, he smiled and nodded slightly and said, "Haha... there is indeed no need to leave the distance. Although fried purple crispy meat is not as famous as fried and chopped green fish on the head and tail, it is also a famous dish in Henan!

"After pausing, he looked up at Gao Gong and asked, "Suqing, do you think you and I want to get the position of Minister of Personnel, what is the chance of winning?"

At this point, the atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became tense, and even the candlelight stopped.

Gao Gong knew that the matter had come to the point, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "Although it is less than 20%, I think the matter is done by others. How can this opportunity be missed?"

Unlike many insidious politicians, Gao Gong appears more open and unfair, and does not conceal his intention to seek the Minister of Personnel.

A bitter look appeared on Guo Pu's face, and he pointed at the fish and said with great sincerity: "We really fight with Xu Jie, just like forcing this fish head. There is really no victory!"

"Brother, weren't you promoted from the Left Minister of Personnel to the Minister of Personnel back then?" Gao Gong finally understood the profound meaning of Guo Pu just picked up the fish, but he responded unhappily.

In his opinion, why can I, Gao Gong, do what you, can do? In terms of qualifications and talents, he believes that he is not inferior to Guo Pu in the past.

When Guo Pu heard Gao Gong mention this, he analyzed seriously: "I have always written green poems for the emperor back then. I can be said to be a favorite minister around the emperor. And the emperor liked to use the technique of balance at that time! Yan Song and I don't have it.

What was the relationship? The emperor intended to slash Yan Song's power at that time, so he helped me to the position of Minister of Personnel!"

"I have also been delivering Qing Ci to the Emperor. How can I know if I don't try it?" Gao Gong was a proud and arrogant person, and immediately clenched his fists and said angrily.

Guo Pu didn't expect Gao Gong to be so stubborn, but he still analyzed patiently: "In terms of favoritism, we are less than one-tenth of Xu Jie; in terms of checks and balances, the emperor will use Lin Ruoyu!" After a pause, he stretched out again

He stretched out a piece of fried purple crispy meat and said, "Instead of forcing this fish head, it's better to eat this fried purple crispy meat. Today, Xu Jie took the initiative to come to me, and he proposed a good plan to us. I think he is with Xu

Level cooperation is the best strategy!”

"Plan? Brother Zhifu, what do you mean is to make a deal with Xu Jie and find a good position for me?" Gao Gong was a very smart person and asked immediately.

Guo Pu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Gao Gong, and nodded gently in front of Gao Gong's gaze.

Officialdom is a place where interests are concerned. Although they formed an alliance with Lin Junran earlier, he and Gao Gong are their own people. If they could gain greater benefits in this contest, they would naturally give up this without hesitation.

A alliance.

Gao Gong suddenly became silent. Although he really wanted to get the position of Minister of Personnel, he knew that Guo Pu's choice was the wisest way.

"Brother is a veteran. Let's take the previous step this time. How about it?" Guo Pu raised his wine glass and asked earnestly.

Although Gao Gong took no one seriously, he still respected Guo Pu a little bit. He nodded gently, picked up the wine glass and drank it with Guo Pu.

While the drink was still burning, he asked curiously: "Who is the Minister of Personnel they want to recommend?"
