Han Shizu

Chapter 1481
After exiting the Chuigong Palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense bodies showed obvious slack changes. Recalling the lectures given by Emperor Liu in the palace, they all felt a sense of relief after being shocked.

Not all of them are like Zhang Qixian. They had the honor to communicate with Emperor Liu in the past, but once they experienced it, they intuitively felt that the Sacred Heart was unpredictable and the power of Heaven was hard to violate.

I don't know how the other face-to-face listeners felt. Anyway, they were terrified and looked at each other a few times. In this palace room, they dared not speak too much, so as not to be offended by gaffes, but several people, They all subconsciously rubbed their hands on the official robes, their palms were covered with sweat.

Zhao Pu, on the other hand, looked at it indifferently, changed his humble respect in front of Emperor Liu, and appeared very calm. In the eyes of these people, this is the demeanor of a great Han prime minister, and this is also the confidence brought by the prime minister.

I had a few words with the central officials who came along, and ordered them to lead these newly promoted officials to the hotel to rest. After the final procedures are completed and the order is issued, they can take orders to go to various places to take up their posts.

However, Zhang Qixian was left alone, and accompanied Zhao Pu to the Political Affairs Hall under the surprised or envious eyes of others.

No matter how majestic and majestic the Zhengshitang is, to Emperor Liu, it is just a porter who can come in and out at will.But Yu Gongqing's important ministers are a symbol of power and a manifestation of status, often with a bit of awe.

But for the vast majority of bureaucrats in the world, it is even more mysterious and solemn, daunting, but also infinitely yearning.Even with the experience of observing politics in Beijing, this is the first time Zhang Qixian has set foot in the political power center of this big man.

The towering buildings and the grand hall also made Zhang Qixian a little fascinated.Of course, it's not as depressing as it was in the Chuigong Palace, but the sense of awe in my heart is not diminished at all, even worse.

On the other side of the Chuigong Hall, the awe-inspiring Emperor Liu is very far away from the bureaucrats in the world, but this Guangzheng Hall, this Zhengshitang, is to manage state affairs and manage the world's officials and people. It is the institution that more clearly grasps the career prospects of bureaucrats in the world.

Entering the hall, entering the room, taking a seat, and serving tea, Zhang Qixian was respectful, meticulous, and did not look sideways. Even when he was seated, his waist and hips were tense.Although there was also a trace of doubt and curiosity in his heart, Zhang Qixian concealed it very well, and just quietly waited for Zhao Pu to show.

As for Zhao Pu, he naturally observed his performance silently, and was quite satisfied in his heart.After taking a sip of hot tea, Zhao Pu looked at Zhang Qixian and said with a smile: "Shi Liang is indeed a rising star in the imperial court. Just because of his self-cultivation and tolerance, he is better than most officials in the world!"

"Your Excellency is absurd! I really don't dare to be an official. There are so many talents in the court. What is Zhang Qixian doing?" Zhang Qixian expressed humility.

Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "You don't have to be too modest. I have carefully studied your resume, including your experience before entering the official position. It is a good story just to offer advice. I still think about it, and I can't help admiring it!"

Zhang Qixian immediately wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Pu: "Perhaps you were impulsive and reckless back then, but it can be seen that you are a person with ambition!

Then study hard and practice hard, and get a Jinshi and rank, which proves that you are a talent that can be created.When Hengshui took office, he was even more outstanding. During the Northern Expedition, the whole country worked together. Hengshui is located in the hinterland of Hebei, not the frontier frontier, but you became famous because of your deeds, you were praised by the superiors, and even heard in heaven!

You don't have to be humble in front of me. The officials' selection of talents and officials is not for your modesty. If you have no real political achievements, this group of promoted officials may not be reasonable! "

After Zhao Pu said so, Zhang Qixian no longer pretended to be modest, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I am fortunate to have the training and trust of the imperial court, and I dare not take credit for it!"

"Shi Liang, it's been almost five years since you became an official!" After talking a few words, Zhao Pu's attitude became a little more cordial, and he even called him a nickname.

Zhang Qixian also felt it, and without knowing what it meant, he remained respectful and replied: "Exactly!"

There was a little admiration on Zhao Pu's old face, and he said with emotion: "Although he was born as a Jinshi, he was appointed to the post of a state in five years. Such a speed of promotion is really rare among today's big men! Even in the early days of Qianyou, This is not something that ordinary people can do.”

"In the current court, the only one who stands out more than you is Zhao Kuangyi, the former Yin Guangyang Bo of Xijing!" Zhao Pu sighed leisurely, with a hint of strangeness in his tone.

As far as Zhao Kuangyi is concerned, at the age of 26, he was the head of the state government, at the age of 29, he was appointed to Annan Road, and at the age of 33, he became an official in Luoyang Prefecture. It can be said that he has been promoted rapidly.

If it weren't for the turmoil last year, I am afraid that within a few years, Zhengshitang would have his place.Of course, he came from a high family background, joined the government early, and has outstanding abilities, so he didn't cause too much jealousy.

Zhang Qixian is not the case. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Your official, how dare you compare yourself with Zhao Guangyang!"

Zhao Pu shook his head, looked at Zhang Qixian, and said, "After this promotion, you Zhang Shiliang will probably attract the attention of the government and the public!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qixian couldn't help but tense up, and his expression looked a little dignified.In fact, he also had some doubts about this promotion.

Facing Zhao Pu's gaze, he deliberated for a while, and asked for advice, "Master! This time, I have to be called back to the court to report on my new job, and I really have doubts in my heart. I have self-examination. It's not like he was promoted suddenly, and he was entrusted with the post of a state. Although he was honored to value him, he was really terrified!"

"It's really rare for you to be so serious and not be confused by Gao Sheng and lose your heart!" Zhao Pu smiled a little: "It's always hard to say when people meet each other. Back then, I wasted ten years. A few years later, after he was established, he entrusted Liu Gong as an official behind the scenes. At the age of 33, he was just recommended, and Jian Ba ​​was in your majesty!

You can achieve what you are today, and hard work is the foundation. To be promoted by nobles, to cross the dragon gate, and to rise to the top is luck!Even the old man can't help being envious of such a chance! "

Zhang Qixian is naturally a smart person. Zhao Pu's emotion obviously meant something. Before and after the contact, the figure of the prince Liu Yang suddenly appeared in his mind, and the connotative eyes just now in front of the Chui Gong Palace were also very clear.

It was unavoidable to have a whim, but Zhang Qixian still tried his best to keep a steady face, and he would not talk about the prince smugly, but said with a humble gesture: "It is also a great honor for Mr. Lai to support him!"

Waving his hand again, Zhao Pu said: "The old man has made it clear that with your talent, experience, and achievements, it will be a matter of time before you are promoted to the state capital. If it is a few years later, it will be a matter of course. , Naturally, it is not aimless!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qixian immediately lifted his spirits, cupped his hands and said: "Please enlighten me, Mr. Xiang!"

"How much do you know about Yanzhou? After taking office, do you have any ideas for governance?" Zhao Pu changed the subject and asked, as if he meant to test the school.

Zhang Qixian pondered for a while, and replied: "Yanzhou is located in the middle of the Central Plains, a large state in Henan Province, with seven counties under its jurisdiction and a large population. , to nurture the common people, and at the same time, promote enlightenment and carry forward the virtues of saints.”

"Don't say what you said in these scenes!" Hearing his answer, Zhao Pu seemed a little dissatisfied, waved his hand, and said neatly.

Seeing this, Zhang Qixian's complexion couldn't help changing, he frowned and thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "The lower official has not yet arrived, so it is difficult to adapt to local conditions, but I have nothing to say!"

Seeing his calm face, Zhao Pu smiled, and then said slowly: "There are so many officials, the old man left you alone for interview, there is a reason, and there is a reason for letting you go to Yanzhou!"

"Please tell me!" Zhao Pu said, but Zhang Qixian was relieved, with a solemn expression on his expression.

"You just talked about the situation in Yanzhou, but you didn't mention one thing!" Zhao Pu also became serious: "There is a mountain in the northern border of Yanzhou, named Mount Tai!"

Hearing these words suddenly, Zhang Qixian felt suddenly enlightened, his eyes lit up slightly, and said, "What does Mr. Xiang mean?"

"Exactly as you think!" Zhao Pu nodded, and solemnly said to him: "And today is peace and tranquility, this is the virtue of your majesty's martial arts, although it has not yet been decided, but it will be a matter of time!"

Zhang Qixian nodded in agreement, and then said flatteredly: "Your Majesty entrusts you with such a heavy responsibility, the subordinate officials are extremely terrified!"

Zhao Pu said very calmly: "Looking at your task in Hengshui, you can control the bureaucrats and mobilize people's power. You can be said to be handy. Although a state is not as good as a county, I think you are still worthy of this task!"

"After you arrive in office, you will start preparations in all aspects of Yanzhou. This is also your most important task!" Zhao Pu said again, with a tone that could not be refused.

Zhang Qixian was no longer pretentious, and stood up to worship and accept orders.
