Although Zhao Rui had a smile on his face, there was extremely obvious anger in his words.
Sima Shang also felt something was wrong and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, I really feel that these three sons lack experience and just want them to be at the bottom..."
Zhao Rui helped Sima Shang up again: "Sir, there are so many civil and military nobles in the court, and everyone who is related to me wants to be stuffed into the court. How can you have the heart to stuff your own son like that?"
In the position?”
Sima Wen next to him immediately knelt on the ground.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, we are not giving orders from our father, but we are asking for it ourselves! Moreover, there is a rule in Shangguan Xiangguo's selection of officials. Anyone who is selected must choose a county or some of the most basic official training!
We have not violated Dashang’s regulations.”
Zhao Rui glanced at Sima Wen with great satisfaction, and with just such a word, he actually knocked him back.
"Look, he is very familiar with the laws of our Dashang. It is really unfair to let such a talent stay in a small county!"
With that said, Zhao Rui took out three memorials from his body.
This is a secret document handed back by the person he specially arranged to be next to the three brothers. Everything about them is clearly remembered in it.
It just so happened that I was able to promote these three talents by working with the Commercial Department.
"Sima Wen is very familiar with the laws of our great merchant. During his tenure, rewards and punishments were clear and meticulous. I think I will let him go to the Ministry of Punishments to be a minister first, and then he will be promoted to minister after seeing his results! Sima Liang is good at calculation, so he directly served as household secretary.
Minister, I can take some of the burden off of you! As for Sima Wu, I, Dashang, are about to start a war with Xishu, so I will let him go to Liang Zhang's command and first become a fourth-grade Huwei Zhonglang general!"
With that said, Zhao Rui placed the three memorials in his hand on the table.
"The imperial edict of appointment will be issued later! If Lord Sima feels that the qualifications of the three sons are not enough, you can read the contents of these memorials."
Sima Shang's body shook slightly. He didn't expect Zhao Rui to be so concerned about his three sons.
"Since His Highness has already examined them, I won't say anything more!"
Sima Wen on the side was a little stunned. He didn't expect that he would become the Minister of Punishment in the blink of an eye.
"I would like to thank His Highness King Zhao!"
Zhao Rui nodded and stood up to leave. When he passed by Sima Wen, he suddenly raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Your father has devoted his whole life to my great business. Now that he is old and frail, it is time for him to recuperate. As the eldest son, you have to fulfill your responsibility. There is actually no shortage of ministers in the Ministry of Punishment. As long as you can
If your father takes good care of you, you can come directly to the Ministry of Punishment to be the Minister."
After saying these words, Zhao Rui left the Shangshu Mansion directly.
Sima Shang sighed helplessly. Of course he knew what Zhao Rui meant, but he had worked hard all his life and suddenly relaxed, and he was really not used to it.
But the king's order had been issued, and he had no choice.
Sima Wen, who was next to him, quickly stepped forward to support Sima Shang's arm.
"Father, you always say that His Highness King Zhao is the pillar of our great merchant business, and he has also been kind to us three brothers, but why are you so reluctant to let us work for Great Shang so that we can repay His Highness King Zhao?
"
The expression on Sima Shang's face was extremely complicated.
"I don't want you to work for Dashang. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to do the job well and ruin the foundation that His Highness King Zhao has worked so hard for."
Sima Wen immediately knelt on the ground.
"Father, don't worry, my brothers and I will definitely live up to His Highness King Zhao."
