Although Liao Wenzhi returned to the class, he was still the focus of attention from all the civil and military officials in the palace.
The fourth child and several ministers were all shining brightly.
The officials in the capital are a circle, and the officials who can get into the government hall and hold meetings every day are also a circle.
There is also a smaller circle. This circle is the small group that truly controls the fate of the country. This small group includes several ministers. Once the country encounters major matters that require decision-making, the fourth person will lead this small circle.
people to discuss and decide.
In the eyes of this small circle, a minister, or a minister from the left, really doesn't mean anything.
But this insignificant Zuo Shilang helped this small circle solve a huge problem, that is, choice.
It is impossible for Chang Chao to fall out with the Ying thieves directly, at least not now.
Even if Qianqiying comes up with irrefutable evidence, the whole world knows that the Ying thieves assassin is related to the Ying official. Even if the Ying official sends people to cause trouble, the Chang Dynasty cannot start a war because its strength does not allow it.
The melons have burst out, don’t want the lining anymore, you have to have the face.
But if you want to save face, you have to fight, fight, and how to fight, rely on your mouth?
And the newly appointed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites not only regained his face, but also his dignity.
One million coins is actually not much for a country, let alone some famous beasts in Changjing. A few unlucky ones can be blackmailed out.
But this one million coins was a lot for the country of Chang Dynasty, and it was enough to support the face of Dachang Dynasty.
The fourth child nodded.
What he needs is this kind of minister. The court needs to change its blood. What he needs is this kind of talent. He cannot be like most civil servants who think forward and backward. The first thing they consider is their own interests. Nor can they be a tough hawk like Chu Qing.
It doesn’t take much to grow hawks.
What the court really needs is ministers like Liao Wenzhi, who can analyze the pros and cons in the shortest time and make the most appropriate and accurate judgment for the sake of the country.
The matter has been determined. The envoy of the Ying people denied that he had nothing to do with the assassination, but he did not deny that the assassination was related to the Ying people. Therefore, as a representative of the Ying country, he needs to pay millions of dollars for compensation. It sounds a bit bullying, but it is also bullying.
, so I regained my face.
After the court dispersed, Chu Qing and his friends stayed outside the political hall. Several ministers, Nangong Xi, Qin Gang and other military generals were also waiting patiently at the door.
After a while, they will go to the Jingyi Hall to continue the "meeting" without the need for the fourth brother to explain, and they understand it tacitly.
It is worth mentioning that originally Qiu Wanshan also left, but a young eunuch came to Jingyi Palace and told Wei Changfeng that Qiu Wanshan should also stay.
Mr. Qiu looked indifferent and stood next to Wei Changfeng.
Nowadays, Qiu Wanshan doesn't care much about these things anymore. He doesn't care about being promoted or being favored by the emperor. When he was young, Chu Qing was doing everything he wanted to do and what he wanted to do in the officialdom.
Look, this is enough. Even if I retire today, Mr. Qiu doesn't care.
The ministers left one after another and walked around Chu Qing. Only one person walked towards Chu Qing unhurriedly. It was Liao Wenzhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Several ministers looked at Liao Wenzhi with complicated expressions. Chu Qing keenly discovered one thing. Liao Wenzhi was very different, extremely different.
When passing by several real big shots in the court, including Nangong Xi, he didn't look sideways. Even Qin Gang, who recommended him, didn't take a second look. Instead, Qin Gang nodded slightly and said hello first, and then in exchange
Liao Wenzhi...continued to look at him intently, not even bothering Lao Qin.
The expressions of several ministers were a bit strange, because Liao Wenzhi did not look like a civil servant, and civil servants did not dare to be so "crazy".
Arriving directly in front of Chu Qing, Liao Wenzhi didn't even salute and looked at Chu Qing.
"Commander Chu, are you going to the East China Sea?"
Several friends looked at Chu Qing and asked, should they spray or beat him?
Because Liao Wenzhi was very rude, he didn't say anything polite, and his tone didn't sound like an inquiry, but like a question.
Chu Qing was not angry, and smiled slightly: "Liao Wenzhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Liao, right? Just now in the court, Lord Liao..."
Before he finished speaking, Liao Wenzhi interrupted slightly impatiently: "I'm asking you, are you going to the East China Sea?"
The title "Old Man" is very interesting. In fact, at Liao Wenzhi's age, it is normal for him to call himself "Old Man". However, in the palace and outside the political hall, he should be called "Official" or "Subordinate" in front of Chu Qing.
Jiang Yuesheng snorted loudly: "Shilang Liao, as ministers in the same palace, don't forget official etiquette."
In terms of rank, Chu Qing was not a court official, but he was a county magistrate and a third-rank commander conferred by the palace. Therefore, in terms of official position, not strictly speaking, he was one level higher than Liao Wenzhi.
Liao Wenzhi still looked intently, and spoke calmly, with a sense of talking to himself: "I am a servant, recommended by General Qin Gang of the Zhu Kingdom, but I can only serve as a servant until today. Tomorrow, I will be the servant.
Then I will write a letter asking for my resignation."
A group of people were confused, and Chu Qing was also dumbfounded: "What do you mean?"
"I am an official just to see you."
Chu Qing was even more confused: "See me?"
"Yes, I'll ask you again, but are you going to the East China Sea?"
Xiao Yi was unhappy: "Whether Master Chu is going or not, it's all your fault."
"If you go, find a job for me."
Liao Wenzhi turned slightly and looked to the east: "If you go to the East China Sea, take me with you. I will help you."
Chu Qing understood a little bit, and said unconvincingly: "You asked Qin Shibo to recommend you as the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, just to go to court, to meet me in court, no, not to meet me, but to prove to me that you are capable.
, after proving it, do you want to work under me?"
"Working for you?" Liao Wenzhi laughed: "Don't praise yourself, it's just that in this officialdom, you can barely be considered a good official."
The friends were furious and just about to curse, Fu San shook his head slightly at everyone, and everyone gave up.
Chu Qing was still not angry, showing great interest: "If I go to the East China Sea, what can you do?"
Pointing at the friends behind him, Chu Qing continued with a half-smile but not a smile: "Among my brothers, who is not a versatile person in both civil and military affairs? How do you think you are better than them?"
"them?"
Liao Wenzhi, as if he was full of skills to draw hatred, glanced at his friends one by one, and then began to call names in a deadly manner.
"Jiang Yuesheng, the former school captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Youzhou, Weijiang, is now the commander of Qianqi Battalion. He has more than enough to defend but not enough to make progress."
Jiang Yuesheng was furious when he heard this: "Old man, what qualifications do you have..."
"Xiao Yi, the commander of Fengche in the border army, is a fierce general who charges into battle, but he has a fiery temperament and is too upright to achieve great things!"
Xiao Yi looked at his third brother: "Is he scolding me, or is he praising me?"
"Lin Hai, you have no ideas..." Liao Wenzhi glanced at Lin Hai and frowned slightly: "What an ugly ghost."
Lin Kui lowered his head, this was the pain that he would suffer for the rest of his life.
"The two young masters of Fu's Escort Agency...tsk, tsk, tsk."
Fu Yongkang and Fu Baobao looked at each other.
What does tut tut tut mean?
"Xu Tianchen, from the Xu family of Xunyang Dao, is known as a literary star. He became famous at a young age, but he is too arrogant and has an unstable temperament."
Xu Tianchen looked at Xiao Yi: "Will someone who is beaten in the palace be imprisoned?"
"There is also Sheng Zhaojun, who was just taken away by Qin Gang. He is a loyal and courageous man, but he has obsessions and evil thoughts in his heart. These two thoughts will be difficult to break for life."
After offending everyone he could offend, Liao Wenzhi looked at Chu Qing: "Commander Chu, do you think what I said is right?"
Xiao Yi looked at Fu San: "Lao San, why doesn't this guy talk about you?"
"You're afraid I'll stab him."
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up: "When I went to the palace today, you also hid a knife?"
A group of courtiers in the distance almost cursed.
This word "ye" makes them very troubled. Forget about Fu Sanzang's sword, this guy is famous for being a tiger, but your damn son of Chang Chengke, dare to hide a sword?
"Commander Chu, the people standing behind you are all warriors, warriors who conquered cities and territories. Do you know who else is missing?"
"Who?"
"Old man!"
Liao Wenzhi looked proud and stood with his hands behind his back: "What is missing is the great Confucian scholar like me, who talks so much about the bad Confucianism and rotten Confucianism in our country and the world. If you go to the East China Sea, you can't just swing your sword and chop him down. You must occupy the great righteousness and incite the people."
, speaking and keeping silent is a useless principle, and I am the best at this. If the scholars criticize you, I will scold them. I dare not say that you are the best sophistry among the scholars, but I will definitely
Among the scholars, he has the best boxing and kicking skills. I dare not say that he is the most capable of hitting among the killers. But I dare to say that I must be the sharpest-tongued person among the killers and the best at beating.
Those who have fought against me cannot defend me, and those who have fought against me cannot defeat me."
After saying that, Liao Wenzhi took out a "resignation letter" from his arms and slapped Chu Qing directly on the chest.
"I live in the palace of General Zhuguo. After leaving the palace, I will have no official status. Give me an answer within three days. Either take me to the East China Sea, or let me teach at the Hanmen Academy, or you, the Qianqiying Commander, will serve as the Imperial Guard.
Clear away all the wine bags and rice bags, and recommend me to serve in the Imperial College. Within five years, if you can help me become the Imperial College's priest, then within ten years, at least 70% of the students in the Imperial College will be from poor families. Remember, I will only wait for you for three years.
Day, farewell!"
After saying goodbye and leaving a lot of eyeballs, Liao Wenzhi left with his hands behind his back in a swaggering manner.
Xiao Yi pinched Yahuazi and said, "I have never seen such an arrogant person in my life."
Fu San: "Hey, haven't you seen it now?"
Jiang Yue said angrily: "Why is this Kuang Sheng so arrogant? He is so sarcastic, but he immediately asked the detectives to find out the details of this Kuang Sheng. I'm afraid he is not a pretentious person."
"Pretending?" Fu San glanced sideways at Jiang Yuesheng: "Have you ever seen a pretentious and sour scholar who became the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, who said he would become an official?"
Jiang Yuesheng was dumbfounded.
Really, he did not deny Chu Qing's ability, but he definitely did not exaggerate to the extent that he would let whoever he wanted to be a minister. This meant that Liao Wenzhi was not an official just to grab someone else's favor or to gain credit.
Chu Qing looked at Qin Gang in the distance with a geometric expression on his face.
Qin Gang's face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed.
Nangong Xi looked confused and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qin, where did Liao Wenzhi come from?"
"Um...just...just..."
Cao Wu said angrily: "This man is too ungrateful. General Qin recommended him as the left assistant minister of my Ministry of Rites, and he resigned at the request of resignation?"
Qin Gang sighed: "Don't blame me, Mr. Cao. It's my fault. Long before your Majesty recommended him, Brother Liao Xian said that he went to court just to see Chu Qing. I met Chu Qing and had a look."
After that, I will resign."
Cao Wu cursed in his heart.
Are you going to put aside your feelings and use my official etiquette department as a springboard?
