When Chu Suiliang exited, the eyes of those waiting outside fell on him. It was obvious that he was being watched and very hostile.
Chu Suiliang forced a smile, cupped his hands, and showed his dignity, implying that even though you are outnumbered, I am not afraid of you.
Everyone was not intimidated by his magnanimity, but they had no choice but to salute him.
Chu Dengshan was previously in the service, and his official position was not low. He was a serious middle-level official in the province under his command. He had a higher official rank than those who are on duty in the province today.
If he were to become a regular servant of Sanqi again, he would step into the ranks of high-ranking officials in the province. In addition to the ministers, the two admonishing officials and the other two regular servants of Sanqi could exert some restraints on him.
In fact, the Jianyi doctor and the Sanqi Changshi are juxtaposed, and their responsibilities are very different. The Jianyi doctor is the censor of the province, and is responsible for admonishing the emperor and inspecting the provincial officials. Today, only Sun Fujia is in office.
Another admonishing doctor has been absent from the post so far. Changsun Shunde tried to recommend several people, but Li Po rejected them all.
In fact, regardless of whether it was recommended by Chang Sun Shunde or not, with Wei Zheng and Sun Fujia in front, the employment standards were there. Based on this, there were really not many suitable candidates.
…………
The only thing Chu Suiliang is worried about now is whether he will be called back for reconsideration if his promotion is handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
This is not impossible to happen. Although few people dare to comment on the officials appointed by the emperor himself, there are still exceptions. In the Ministry of Personnel, whether Fang Xuanling or Yan Shigu, they are all very distinguished people.
People like them inherently dislike people from the special Jin Dynasty. Chu Suiliang was appointed to the position by Yuen Long, who personally joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs and recommended him. In fact, he took a shortcut.
It has only been more than a year now, and he has been authorized by the emperor to serve as a regular servant of Sanqi. Maybe the officials will reject him if they get hot-headed.
You know how your subordinates will deal with it. Changsun Shunde will definitely go with the flow...
Therefore, if he wanted to be promoted smoothly, Chu Suiliang would have to do a lot of work on his own. Fortunately, this matter involved a power struggle among his subordinates, and the officials would probably consider it.
…………
Chu Suiliang was not fooled by Changsun Shunde's gentle words. He knew that he had offended the Henan people badly. Unless he sold himself and joined him, it would be difficult to eliminate the estrangement.
If he is a little naive, he will be greeted by a violent storm.
While Chu Suiliang was walking, thinking about something, someone came over from the opposite side and saluted him first.
Chu Suiliang looked up and saw that it was Fu Baolang Dong You.
After Dong You saluted, he looked around and saw no one else. He approached Chu Suiliang and whispered: "Shilang Du has arrived in the province, Doctor Sun has gone to Dali Temple, and I have come to summon Shilang Sun to the Tai Chi Hall to see him.
Your Majesty is in a bad mood, and I am afraid that the eldest grandson will be scolded, haha..."
Chu Suiliang was startled and looked at this sixth-grade seal official with suspicion. He didn't know why this person was telling him this. In the past, the two of them just met and gave a greeting. The so-called acquaintance was like this. General.
Whose person is this? From Du Shilang's side? Chu Suiliang's thoughts were racing, and he was memorizing the hero list, and he didn't think about Chou Yin. This person came a bit suddenly.
Dong You smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I haven't congratulated Chang Shi Chu on his promotion. I sealed the edict just now. I'll prepare a little wine someday and invite Chang Shi to come and have a few drinks. If Chang Shi can bring Gongsun Please come, that would be great..."
Chu Suiliang suddenly realized that he was Gongsun An's friend. He immediately showed a knowing smile on his face, cupped his fists and said: "Bao Lang, please go, Dengshan will pay you a visit in a while and ask for a glass of wine."
The two of them passed each other without saying much.
Even though Dong You didn't reveal very useful information, he still got a conclusion from a few words, and the matter ended there.
Sun Fujia rushed to Dali Temple. Chu Suiliang knew that Sun Fujia was upright and did everything for the public. He would not let Liu Zhengyou go, but he would not allow Dali Temple to manipulate him and involve more people.
But Sun Shunde, the eldest son, did not want to have an easy time. When Sun Fujia came back from Dali Temple, at the beginning of the new year, he would definitely ask the emperor to rectify the provincial affairs. Those guys who became arrogant may not be proud for a few days.
Chu Suiliang's heart finally calmed down completely. He had thought about the next thing. It was time to visit Fang Xuanling.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. After entering Beijing for a year, his official career finally took shape.
However, when he went to have a drink with Su Xu in the first month of the year, he felt a little dissatisfied because Su Xu told him that people in Henan are not very polite and you'd better be careful when traveling these days to avoid getting hurt.
Chu Suiliang patted his chest and said to Su Xu, I am not a weak person. Anyone who dares to do anything bad to me can kill one of them, or make a pair of two.
It's just one thing to talk hard, but when it comes to reality, he is really worried. He rarely goes out except when he is on duty. When he goes to work, he also brings enough followers with him. It is obvious that he is afraid of death.
…………
Outside Taiji Hall, Changsun Shunde rushed here with sweat all over his head.
He regretted again that he should not have gone to the province first. It was indeed a small incident caused by a strange combination of circumstances, but he was caught by the emperor. It was really unlucky.
If he came to the Tai Chi Hall first to apologize, he would be much better than being summoned to the Tai Chi Hall like this. This is a matter of attitude. The difference between active and passive shows trust and loyalty.
His eldest grandson Shunde obviously performed poorly...
"The eldest son, Sun Shunde, the minister under the Xuanmen, came to the palace to have an audience." The eunuch's voice was harsh, especially the word "servant", which made eldest son Shunde quite uncomfortable.
Moreover, it is not a good idea to have to roll your name to see the emperor. Normally, when ministers enter the palace and go to the Taiji Hall to see the emperor, they don't need to be so formal. They just line up and wait outside.
Changsun Shunde didn't care to think too much. He took two steps and entered the side hall. He looked around for a moment and saw that there were many people in the hall, which made him feel even less at ease.
Seeing the eldest son Sun Shunde come in and salute, Li Po waved his hand and asked him to sit down and talk.
At this moment, Li Po had no time to pay attention to him. His sister and her brother-in-law had entered the palace. They came to the Tai Chi Hall to say a few words to him, and the sister was about to go to the harem to have fun with her friends.
It was up to her to decide where to have lunch. As for Xu Shiji, she would naturally accompany him all the time. In the evening, he would accompany the emperor in his car to watch the lanterns on the city gate tower.
At this time, eldest son Shunde arrived, and he couldn't speak at all. Li Po was really annoyed by the matter of Menxiasheng, but in front of so many people, it was not appropriate to leave eldest son Shunde's old face.
Li Po waved and called the girl to him. In full view of everyone, he took the baffled girl to the back of the palace, leaving two generals and a servant looking at each other there.
…………
"Brother, what are you doing? Why do you look so sneaky?"
Li Chun rolled his eyes. He was in his thirties, but he looked as restless as a young girl.
This was a very unpleasant thing to say, so Li Po raised his hand and gave her a head slap without hesitation, "What the hell are you being sneaky about? It's okay if I don't see you all day long. Why are you running around in the first month? Go to hell with you.
No one is found in the house."
Li Chun rubbed the back of his head in dissatisfaction, "It's so boring in the first month, didn't I just take people out of the city to enjoy the snow? I didn't go far.
I also collected a good piece of tiger skin and brought it to big brother this time, otherwise, big brother, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to sit on your dragon chair because it’s so hard?”
Li Po slapped him again smoothly, "I'm not the king of the mountain, why should I sit in the tiger's seat? It's getting more and more out of tune, and the same goes for Mr. Xu Maogong. How can I let you do whatever you want, and I won't take care of him."
"
Li Chun was hit a little bit on the head, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Brother, just say something if you don't like him. I'll just go and stab him with two swords to calm him down. Why use this excuse to cause trouble?"
Li Po was also very happy with her, "Don't mess around. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just come and tell the elder brother. I will deal with him. If you beat him too hard, it will have a bad reputation. Do you understand?"
?”
Li Chun smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes, "My eldest brother is still kind to me, but don't worry, eldest brother, he doesn't dare to attack me. As long as I take the sword, he will stay far away, which is smart."
Li Po had the urge to hold his forehead. This girl really has nothing to say... Do you have pets? This is...
At this time, Li Chun stroked his belly proudly, "Besides, he is waiting for a son to inherit the family business. When this matter is over, I will be relieved."
What do you mean? Li Po was confused for a moment and his eyes widened, "What are you..."
Li Chun felt a little shy and nodded slightly.
Li Po touched his chest with his hand, and thought to himself, "My heart, it means I am young, otherwise I would have to be fucked up by you."
The girl was in her early thirties and had nothing to achieve, and Xu Shiji was not allowed to take concubines. This matter would not matter in the future, but it would not matter now.
The eldest princess will not be divorced if she is childless, but if you do not allow concubines to pass on the family legacy, you are being too overbearing and your reputation will be very unpleasant.
Even if Xu Shiji himself didn't care, it would be difficult for him to explain it to his family. When Li Chun gets older, these things will become a big problem.
As her elder brother, Li Po had been thinking about this matter. He transferred Xu Shiji back, with the intention of letting him stay in the capital for a few years and finish raising children.
"Now that you are pregnant, why are you still wandering out of the city in the cold weather? Have you thought about it? Huh? Why didn't anyone mention it to me? Don't you even want to live anymore?"
Seeing his eldest brother looking furious, he had never seen such an emotion in his eldest brother. Li Chun felt warm in his heart and smiled while holding Li Po's arm.
"Brother, please calm down. I was upset when I went out to eat meat the day before yesterday. I even vomited a few times. I found a doctor nearby and checked my pulse, and I realized it was..."
Li Po then beamed with joy, "I just said that Mr. Xu Maogong looked like he was so proud of the spring breeze. Why did he say that it is like this? Well, well, well, this is a happy event.
Let me tell you, in the past year and a half, you have to be patient and stop wandering around. I have sent two imperial doctors to your house and you will listen to them on everything.
Let me know if you can play with guns and sticks again, it will look good on you."
