Chapter 792 Li Yi Mansion

Wang Ping'an quickly went to the Menxia Province. As soon as he entered the yamen, he shouted: "You guys, do you have any important official duties? I can use seals when I have time today!"

The officials in Dongtai were all surprised. What happened? No matter why the prime minister suddenly came to work, he still had to use seals. The officials quickly came out of their respective houses and said that there was no important official business. Even if there were any, they would be sent to the Secretariat Province and would be criticized by Lord Changsun.

Wang Ping'an didn't even enter the lobby and said with a smile: "There is no official business, that's great. It's the right thing to do. You guys should go home early!" After that, he turned around and left.

The officials of Dongtai looked at each other, okay, look at how free he is to be an official, waved his sleeves and did not take away half of the official duties. Even if he entered the front foot, he would be on duty, and if he went out, he would be on duty!

Wang Ping'an left the palace and rushed to the Shangshu Province. The Shangshu Province is different from his disciples. The officials are busy and going in and out, unlike the disciples. The officials are sitting in the house, waiting for the time being to go home and hold their wives.

Wang Ping'an entered the yamen, waved to an official, and asked, "Can you Lord Changsun be in the yamen?"

The official grinned and thought to himself: "This Prime Minister Wang is really funny, it's okay to ask me, but he actually asked you Lord Changsun? Doesn't he recognize who I am?"

The official smiled and said, "Secret Wang, do you not recognize the officials? The officials serve as a minister and are your direct subordinates! Just because you are not in Dongtai, the officials have to send the documents to Lord Changsun, and he will review them on his behalf!"

Wang Ping'an said a word, remembering that the official had met when he named him. He said, "Well, you have recognized your true appearance, it's great. The true appearance was just a test, to see if you recognize me, the Shangguan. Very good, you passed the test."

The official smiled again, turned around and pointed, "Lord Changsun is not in the lobby, but in the second hall behind, he is holding a meeting for the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to raise the food and wages needed for the army's expedition. You will see him as soon as you enter."

Wang Ping'an nodded and walked inside. The official looked at his back from behind, his lips moved, and wanted to follow him, and said a few more words to Wang Ping'an and reported his name so that Wang Ping'an would have an impression of him. But then he thought, Wang Ping'an didn't care about anything, even if he knew his name, he would not promote himself. The official shook his head, left the gate of the Shangshu Province, and wanted to rush back to Dongtai.

Just as he was about to get on the car, he suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance. He looked up and saw a carriage coming from the distance. His head was popping out of the window. It turned out to be Xu Jingzong, the former Minister of the Secretariat.

The official smiled on his face and walked up quickly. Before the carriage could stop, he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xu, we have been missing for many days. You have always been good? You seem to be much more blessed again. I believe your life will be smooth!" He followed the carriage for a few steps, and when the carriage arrived at the door of the Shangshu Province, he opened the carriage door and acted to help Xu Jingzong get out of the carriage.

Xu Jingzong really had a smooth life during this period, and he was like in heaven every day. He loved money all his life, and the ultimate goal of becoming an official was to make money. Even if he had to marry a daughter, he had to calculate money. His love for money and his character were a strange flower in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, after Xu Jingzong was repaired last time, he thought that even if he was finished in his life, he would never have a chance to make a comeback, but Wang Ping'an transferred him to Lingyan Temple to be responsible for the construction of Tongtianfutu. Countless businesses were derived from the Tongtianfututu. Now, Xu Jingzong was like a fish in water. For him, it was much more comfortable to use money every day than being an official in the Secretariat. For him, how much money is hidden in his family is not important, but how much money is the most important thing, especially if he can control other people's money, it is simply a matter of beauty to him. What he is doing now is equivalent to the ancient financial career, and he is playing with capital, just like his wishes!

Xu Jingzong got out of the carriage with red light, looked at the official in front of him, and smiled and said, "Brother Yifu, I have disappeared for a while. Are you still in the school of a ritual?" He saw that the official's uniform was dark blue and he was a small official of the eighth rank, so he asked this question.

This official was named Li Yifu. In Li Zhi's era, he was a very famous person. He was nicknamed Li Mao, and was Wu Meiniang's royal flattery. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he should have become the official position of the Censor of the Eighth Censor, but due to a little deviation in history, his official position was not promoted. So now he is still a small disciple, and he is being sent to do some errands.

Li Yifu was very embarrassed. He was not young anymore. He was over thirty years old and was in his thirties and rushed to four people. He had ambitions but was still a small official in his ritual. It was a helpless thing. There was no way. Without the appreciation of the Shangguan, it was difficult to get promoted.

After laughing dryly, Li Yifu said, "When I say to Lord Xu, the senior official still works in the ministry. I got news some time ago that he could be promoted to the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, but somehow there was no movement."

"The Censor is not very big, I feel wronged by my brother in Yifu." Xu Jingzong patted Li Yifu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are quick-minded, why don't you move? You are in your prime now, and it's a good time to show off your strength. By the way, now Wang Xiangye has taken charge of the disciples and he is the best person to speak, why don't you curry favor with him?"

The word "couple" was said by Xu Jingzong as if it was natural. It is normal to curry favor with a great boss if you want to be promoted and curry favor with a great boss. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Li Yi Mansion was really not embarrassed at all. Instead, he sighed and whispered: "Mr. Xu doesn't know anything. The prince doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't even go to the yamen. Although the subordinates want to curry favor with him, they have no way out!"

As he spoke, he turned to the gate of the Shangshu Province, raised his chin and said, "I just saw Xiangye Wang inside. He actually regarded me as an official of the Shangshu Province. I don't remember who I am at all!"

Xu Jingzong had a fried dough stick, and he understood the expression of Li Yifu when he saw Li Yifu. Since the two met just now, Li Yifu must have no interest in currying out. He probably thought that Wang Ping'an's official method was wrong and he could not be a good person for a long time, so there was no need to curry favor with him, which was useless.

Xu Jingzong said, "Brother Yifu, you are wrong, you are very wrong! Do you think you can get promoted if you do a lot of work? If you are wrong, you can get promoted if you have meritorious people, so you can get promoted. Think about it, because Wang Xiangye did nothing, and those work should be done by the people below. He just used a seal, so any contribution he made in the subordinates must be counted on the subordinates. Wang Xiangye did not know at all. You are here to take the post. Think about it, everyone said that he would not go to work, but some people said that official duties were delayed, so that they would say bad things about Wang Xiangye?"

Li Yi's mansion was stunned. He was not as good as Li Mao at this time, and he was far less slick than Xu Jingzong, but he understood at first. He nodded and said, "It's strange. No one has ever said that Wang Xiangye is not qualified to be the prime minister!"

Xu Jingzong spread his hands and said, "Isn't that enough? Moreover, when other prime ministers meet Prince Wang, they only know how to discuss. Never give up the evil spirit. It means that everyone has divided the power of Prime Minister. You think, can other prime ministers not want him to save money from his disciples? If someone else is replaced, wouldn't it be interesting to capture the power again? "

Li Yifu suddenly understood and said, "It turns out that the secret to being an official is not what benefits I can get, but what benefits others can get because of me, so that I can keep going!"

Xu Jingzong clapped his hands and smiled and said, "That's the case. You finally got enlightened. Wang Xiangye didn't work. Once there was a job, he had to find someone to do it. No one remembered it, but he just remembered his personal name. It was your brother from Yifu. Then the work was yours. When the work was finished, you said that Wang Xiangye was instructed. Wang Xiangye was happy. How could you not be promoted? So, Wang Xiangye's thighs were thick and strong, and you had to hold it in your mind, don't let go!"

After giving some advice, Xu Jingzong said, "I have something to do in the Secretariat, so I'll go in now. Brother Yifu should go back quickly. Do whatever you should do, find the right opportunity and run up!" He laughed a few times and entered the Secretariat.

Li Yifu stood at the door for a while and thought to himself: "I want to find an opportunity, but where is the opportunity?"

Wang Ping'an went to the second hall. After seeing Changsun Wuji sitting in the big case, there were a large group of officials standing in front of him. He didn't go in and just smiled at Changsun Wuji outside the door, then stood aside, pretending to see the scenery.

Changsun Wuji understood that Wang Ping'an would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, or if he didn't come, there must be something wrong if he came. He waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss here today, please get early tomorrow."

The officials immediately said that when they left, they saw Wang Ping'an, they flattered him. Wang Ping'an beat him up and went over perfunctorily.

After entering the second hall, Wang Ping'an said, "My uncle, my nephew came from the Ganlu Palace. I heard from the emperor that he wanted you to parade on behalf of the emperor and preside over the war."

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji stood up from the chair with a roar, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face, but the expression came quickly and went faster. He flashed by and returned to calm. He did not sit down, but stretched out his arms, twisted his waist and said, "I have been sitting for a long time, my back is sore and I have to move!"

Seeing him concealing the joy in his heart, Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Uncle, this is a tiring job. If you don't want to do it, you might as well push it."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "If the emperor has an order, as a minister, how can he refuse to do it? Do you think I am the same as you, and you will know how to hide easily." After a pause, he asked, "What else did the emperor say?"

Wang Ping'an said: "I also said that the city gate is not connected day and night. It means a hundred sea rivers, so nothing else is left!"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and thought to himself: "The military parade on behalf of the emperor is a major event. There is no precedent in this dynasty. I have to discuss it with Chu Suiliang and the others." He said: "You are here to tell me this?"
