When he heard that the fisherman died, Shen Douk was stunned.
At that moment, Cui Ming told the story of the fisherman being killed by the assassin and the closure of Yangzhou City. The focus was on Zuotu Mansion. He reported to Shen Douke: "Now there is no one in Zuotu Mansion to take care of the affairs of the Four Kingdoms."
, it can be said to be in ruins, so I would like to ask you to show me the next step."
Shen Douke thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "I wanted to recommend you during the discussion last year, but you were still in the right position when you voted for Chu, so you might not be convinced by the public, and you don't know the position of Zuolang. Do you have any intention?"
Cui Ming bowed and said: "No matter what position you are in, no matter what you do, Zuo Tu will always look forward to it. Ming will go wherever Zuo Tu tells Ming to go."
Shen Douke was very satisfied and recommended his retainers to important positions, which was the way to establish himself as a wealthy official. Although the retainer's identity had changed, his past connections would greatly increase his power.
Immediately, he handed over the revision of the book to Cui Ming and said: "Take the book and go to see Jingzhou Yin and ask the state Yin to decide what to do. I don't think I need to say more."
After getting Shen Dou Ke's letter of recommendation, he can legitimately ask to see Zhou Yin Jinghui. This step is almost half the success.
Without any delay, Cui Ming exchanged two good horses from the army and quickly returned to Yangzhou. He didn't even return to his home, but went straight to the state shepherd's house to ask for an audience.
The Cui family was originally from a wealthy family in the Qi State and had been in power. With such a background, Zhou Yin Jinghui would not treat Cui Ming as an ordinary retainer. After receiving Shen Douke's recommendation, he immediately said: "Your family is originally from the Duke of Qi State, so it is logical that you should not be humbled."
I am a corporal. I have talked with Zuo Tu before and I feel sorry for your family. At the beginning, the king said that he might cause dissatisfaction in Linzi and cause discord between the two countries, which would also be detrimental to the Cui family, so he did not confer it with a doctor..."
Cui Ming said respectfully: "I am very grateful for the love and care of the state pastor. I just thought that there was no one to take care of the affairs of the Four Kingdoms and Baiyue, and I was afraid that the state affairs would be delayed, so I recommended this to you. I have no intention of gaining fame and power."
position, I only want to share the worries of the state, and everything will be decided by the state pastor."
Jing Hui said: "Let me think about it for a few days."
Cui Ming ignored the topic and said: "On my way back yesterday, I met a thief selling fake elixirs. They said they were longevity elixirs. This was a forbidden elixir. I immediately took it. Unfortunately, the robbers were well prepared and escaped too quickly.
, I couldn't catch up. After checking the seized elixir, I found that it was just a fake elixir. I heard that there were people from the East China Sea who were confusing pearls with fish eyes, but it was nothing more than that. The new leader of Jixia Academy was inspecting the place. This incident happened
If he knows about it, it may damage the reputation of Yangzhou order. When I encounter this, I must report it and remind the state pastor to be careful."
Jing Hui raised his eyebrows, took the elixir bottle and inspected it for a moment, then solemnly said: "This matter was handled extremely well and must not be spread."
Cui Mingdao: "I understand."
Jing Hui muttered: "You are so dedicated in what you do and you have achieved special honors. You are indeed a member of a wealthy family. You are different from ordinary children of the public family. It shows that you have a good family background and you are worthy of being a child of the Cui family... It has been a year since you came to Chu, right?"
"
Cui Ming replied: "It's been a year and a half."
Jing Hui nodded: "Forget it, Qi State has not asked about your whereabouts so far, and I don't think I have the intention to investigate in detail. When I write to Yingdu, I will ask the king's intention... Yu Zuolang passed away, and there is no one to take charge of Zuotu Mansion. Yingdu
Before issuing an edict, you should take care of things first and don't let people destroy the government."
Cui Ming bowed with great ceremony, said goodbye and left the house.
Back at the house, Cui Ming came to see Wu Sheng. Seeing that he was tired but smiling, he immediately said: "Congratulations to Brother Cui for being promoted to a doctor."
Cui Ming waved his hand: "It's still early, there is no edict from the king, everything is between two options."
Wu Sheng asked: "How long will it take?"
Cui Mingdao: "As little as more than a month, as long as three or five months."
Jin Wuhuan had been caring about her. When Cui Ming arrived, he had been waiting by the side early, worriedly saying: "How can Yueniang survive for so long? And if the new appointment returns to Yangzhou, it will be difficult."
Cui Ming said with a smile: "No need to worry, the state pastor has already agreed to let me act as the agent of Zuotu Mansion first. After the document is issued, I will make an appointment to see the Siwei."
Jin Wuhuan was overjoyed: “I owe it all to Brother Cui!”
Cui Ming said proudly: "We are all one family, why are we so divided?"
The next day, the documents from the Prefectural Mufu were sent to all places, and Cui Ming was appointed to act as the agent for the affairs of the Zuo Tu Mansion, so that all departments could cooperate with it. The Zuo Tu Mansion was one of the three major government offices in Yangzhou, and even Zuo Lang, the second deputy, had a very high status.
, coupled with Cui Ming's background as an endorsement, the entire Yangzhou officialdom knew that a new star had risen.
In just a few days, Cui Ming crossed a gap that would be difficult for an ordinary scholar to cross in a lifetime, and became a high-ranking official. In the final analysis, the death of the fisherman and Wu Sheng's elixir were just a boost, and the root cause lay in him.
His background can be said to be "red-rooted and upright", and he was treated differently by the ministers of the state of Chu. After changing to a noble family in a small country, it was impossible to do it without losing half of his life.
That night, a carriage drove out of Tingsi Prison. Shen Yueniang was given a lighter sentence for "misbelieving the thief's words" and was released after paying a fine of 300 yuan.
Two days later, Cui Ming personally went into battle and sent Wu Sheng and others out of the city. Wu Sheng said: "Doctor Cui is a new man with a new attitude. When the imperial edict of Yingdu is issued, I will be waiting for Dr. Cui in Shangyong."
Cui Ming laughed loudly: "Isn't the alchemist also a doctor of Yongguo? You should know that it is not easy for a doctor to be a doctor, haha... As I said before, we are all one family, regardless of each other. If Yonghou gives Master alchemy a hard time, just write to him
Tell me, I’m going to look for Marquis Yong’s bad luck and vent his anger on Master Alchemy!”
The two sides parted ways, and the group immediately turned south, entering the Baiyue territory from Meicun, climbing over rolling mountains and dense forests, and returning to Mangdang Mountain.
This trip to Yangzhou cost a lot of money, but it also yielded a lot of rewards. Yangzhou Zuo Tu was the government office that directly managed affairs related to the Four Kingdoms and Baiyue. The fisherman served as Zuo Lang, which was a great hidden danger to Wu Sheng, so Wu Sheng
Sheng can only take decisive measures, otherwise the future will be really difficult, and he may have to continue to flee.
It was an unexpected blessing to help Cui Ming, one of his own, to ascend the throne of Zuolang. As long as the official appointment of Yingdu was issued, Wu Sheng could sit back and relax.
After trekking for many days, we have seen Mangdang Mountain ahead, with more than 20 lush peaks, rushing streams, criss-crossing canyons, waterfalls, and birds and animals. After experiencing a fight and hiding in Yangzhou, we returned to Mangdang Mountain.
The feeling of Dangshan is really pleasant, this is a real home.
In recent months, the manor has undergone major changes. When I left, the wall of Toujia was thickened by another layer, reaching nine feet, and several banyan trees were transplanted into the square of the village. According to Wu Sheng
According to the request, a row of benches was built.
In a corner, a large pit of about half an acre was dug. It was filled with sieved fine soil. Next to it were wooden rotating slides, swings and other toys. A dozen young children were playing here.
Very happy.
Fangjia is very large, and it can accommodate not only fifty households, but even a hundred households. This is a place reserved for building houses for future population expansion.
In addition, the planned armory, grocery store, and granary are also under construction, and the entire village shows great vitality.
