The collision of the two worlds brought different sparks. Cui Weizhen had a deep understanding of his wife's previous life. The inspiration and shock he received at this time can no longer be expressed in words. The only thing that is certain is that this will have an important impact on his future official career.
.
The next morning, Cui Weizhen woke up early, put on his official uniform and prepared to enter the palace.
Today is not a major court meeting. Usually at this time, Emperor Xuanwu would summon some important ministers to discuss matters. The other officials only need to go about their own affairs and go to their respective yamen on time to attend the yamen.
If an ordinary official has a memorial, he usually submits the memorial according to the procedures, or makes an invitation at the court meeting. However, Cui Weizhen, as the emperor's favorite, does not need to go to such trouble. He only needs to deliver the memorial to the palace. If the emperor is not busy, he will do it.
Summon him.
Today was no exception. Cui Weizhen took the time to deliver a sign to the palace. Knowing that the emperor was still discussing politics at this time and had no time to summon him, he drove his horse eastward along the avenue in front of the palace gate. The imperial city followed to the southeast.
The position of the corner is where the Yamen of the Ministry of Revenue is located.
He entered the yamen and drew the knot. When they saw him, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue greeted him one after another. Cui Weizhen nodded in agreement. He first went to his boss's office. The clerk on duty told him that the minister was entering the palace to discuss politics today, so he turned back.
My own office.
During the meeting, they met Li Shilang, and the two just nodded lightly and did not communicate too much. There are only two ministers in the household department. This Li Shilang is a veteran of the household department and has never been fond of Cui Weizhen. The reason is very simple.
It's just because the latter comes first.
In the officialdom, Zuo was respected. Cui Weizhen was young and easily ascended to the position of Zuo Shilang. Li Shilang was suppressed and felt dissatisfied. He usually criticized Cui Weizhen a lot. Being a nodding acquaintance was already the greatest limit.
Already.
The two offices were connected to each other. As soon as Cui Weizhen walked in, he heard the moderate voice of his colleagues: "Hey, I'm so kind to you."
There is no doubt that Li Shilang must have told him on purpose. This man did not dare to express his dissatisfaction in person. This kind of virtue of secretly speaking ill of people behind their back was very handy.
Cui Weizhen was not angry, but entered the official room with a calm expression. Because his sudden rise has offended the interests of many people in the court, there are many people who can't stand him. This kind of discussion behind his back is inconsistent with
For him, it's just no pain or itch.
But Cui Weizhen could remain calm, but the subordinate officer Liao who came to report on his official duties could not do it. He just heard what Li Shilang said, and he was filled with indignation and said angrily: "Sir, Li Shilang is really bullying people. He
After so many years in the household department, he has never made any achievements. He is usually lazy, and when it comes to flattery, he is the best at flattering you. How can he have the face to speak ill of you, sir?"
"Summer insects cannot be compared to ice, so there is no need to argue with them."
Cui Weizhen's face was extremely pale. He picked up the official documents on the desk and glanced at them. He divided them into two piles according to priority, and then reviewed the key documents. While reviewing, he explained the official affairs to his subordinates: "...I will go to the palace later, you guys follow the instructions
Official document processing... In addition, the national household registration, land and tax statistics work should also be completed. You select a few outstanding mathematicians from the ministry and draw up a data chart with me."
"Data chart? Sir, what is that?" Liao Shu said curiously.
Cui Weizhen paused with his pen: "The text is too complicated and overwhelming, and it is difficult to understand and compare the situation of each prefecture. If it is drawn into a chart and filled in with numbers, it can be clearly understood at a glance."
Manager Liao suddenly realized it, and flattered his boss and said: "This method is very quick, sir, you are wise! It is very suitable to be promoted in all yamen, especially our household department, which is in urgent need. If it can be established as a rule, it will be of great benefit to the future office work."
!”
Cui Weizhen had a rare smile on his face and said, "This is my wife's suggestion."
Chief Liao was almost dazzled by his boss's smile. Cui Shilang was usually gentle with his subordinates, but none of the officials in the summer government were scornful because of his youth. Instead, they were in awe and did not dare to overstep the mark.
There is no other reason. Although this young minister is praised by the world as Master Yuzhu, as long as you deal with him, you will know that the minister has outstanding abilities and decisive methods. Anyone who dares to defy him will no longer know where he is.
There is mold in the corner.
Cui Shilang looks indifferent and stern on weekdays. He only becomes warm when he occasionally mentions his family.
I still remember that one time, Mrs. Ning Guo cooked a meal with her own hands and brought it to the Summer Yamen canteen. Cui Shilang was in a good mood and had a smile on his face all day long. But the officials in the Yamen were shocked.
Mrs. Ning Guo was so impressed that she was the only one who could do this.
Manager Liao knew his boss's itch, and began to flatter him more enthusiastically and sincerely: "Madam is one of the few strange women in the world. She always amazes the world with her wonderful ideas. I have been in the household department for more than ten years, and I have never come up with anything."
With such a good idea, Madam opened up a new path with just a flash of inspiration. Her wisdom and ingenuity are truly unparalleled in the world."
While praising him, he peeked at his boss and saw that his boss was indeed happier than patting his own horse. He was immediately convinced that the experience of his colleagues was indeed good. No matter how good or bad Cui Shilang was, it was right to praise Mrs. Ningguo!
Cui Weizhen covered his lips with his hands, suppressed the smile on his lips, and said modestly: "My wife is stupid and cannot deserve such praise."
"Yes, yes."
Chief Liao continued to flatter him: "I met your noble master last time. He is clever, well-behaved, and intelligent. He must have inherited the talents of the master and his wife."
The smile on Cui Weizhen's face could no longer be concealed.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood today, he inevitably showed some of his emotions. In order to maintain his authority as a superior, he coughed lightly, barely suppressed the pride and pride in his heart, and nodded to his subordinates: "It's late, I'm sorry.
It's time for the official to enter the palace, you go down to work."
Manager Liao accepted it as soon as he was satisfied, took the official document handed over by his superior, and left respectfully.
Cui Weizhen checked the two coupons he had brought with him, and after confirming that they were correct, he walked out of the official room. At this time, he happened to meet Li Shilang coming out again.
Seeing that he was going out, as if he had a handle on him, Shilang Li immediately said in a deep voice: "Shilang Cui, it's time to go on duty, where are you going?"
Cui Weizhen brushed his sleeves and said calmly: "I am going to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. I wonder if Mr. Li will accompany me?"
Li Shilang's face instantly turned the color of pig liver - with his ability, how could he enter the palace?
He just satirized the other party behind his back for asking for a favor, and now the other party came to slap him in the face - he had not been able to meet the saint for a long time, and Cui Weizhen, entering the palace was like going home. He deliberately said this, wasn't he mocking him for not having the saint's favor?
Li Shilang was in a state of embarrassment, became angry from shame, and threw away his sleeves. Cui Weizhen just smiled lightly, not even contempt lingering in his eyes.
