Chapter 783 Find a successor

What surprised Chu Xian was that Wang Shenling did not come, but the latter sent a letter, which was also written very sincerely, and it could be seen that it was a sincere congratulation to Chu Xian.

However, one of the people on the top floor of the Shoufu Pavilion did not come, Grand Master Xiao Yu did not come, Yang Zhenqing did not come, Da Situ Da Sima and the two generals also did not come.

This is also normal. At this time, they will not come to join in the fun, otherwise it will be a bit overwhelming.

Chu Xian is naturally quite busy.

First, I went to meet Liu Jiwen. The latter showed great respect, even trepidation, which was completely different from the previous arrogance.

Chu Xian didn't make things difficult for him, but to be honest, Chu Xian also felt that Liu Jiwen was no longer suitable for the Shoufu Pavilion. Liu Jiwen didn't do well in the household affairs. He just maintained it and didn't think about breaking through and advancing. For ordinary officials, it may be enough, or even better, but as a member of the Chief Assistant Cabinet, this is a big failure.

But now is not the time.

Chu Xian knew that the Holy Dynasty had many ills at present, just like the previous land system, sometimes it was not conspicuous, not eye-catching, or even had no signs, but this did not mean that the ills did not exist or disappeared.As an official, especially a high-ranking official, he must face up to these problems and then correct them, just like a horse-drawn carriage driving thousands of miles on a mountain road, how can there be no problems?

Like Liu Jiwen, who knew that there was a problem, but pretended not to see it, and let the carriage continue to move forward. This is not advisable in itself. There are also some, who know that there is a problem, are also looking for the problem, and even try to find a way to move the carriage. This is the current status of most members of the Shoufu Pavilion, but none of them has the courage to stop this carriage and do a thorough repair.

Chu Xian has.

In short, Liu Jiwen is definitely going to be transferred, but Chu Xian also knows that it is not the time yet, the main reason is that he left the household department, there is already a vacancy, if Liu Jiwen is removed immediately, the left and right servants of the household department It has to be replaced by other people, even if it is someone who is familiar with the affairs of the household department, they have to adapt to the time, which may delay some important things. After all, the land change has to continue, and someone has to follow up, so for this In order to plan, he had to hold off on Liu Jiwen.

On the other hand, Liu Jiwen was very excited when he saw that Chu Xian was willing to meet him. At least from this point, it could be seen that Chu Xian did not hold him tightly.

Liu Jiwen knew that this was his chance.

He must seize this opportunity, work hard, and do things seriously. Only in this way can he keep his seat and even go further.

Liu Jiwen's entry into the Shoufu Pavilion was not entirely due to Li Yuanming's promotion. He also had some skills, but later he focused on studying official skills and forgot his original intention.

This time Liu Jiwen is very clear that what Chu Xian values ​​most is the continuation of land changes, so what Liu Jiwen thinks in his heart is to continue to implement Chu Xian's government orders no matter what. 'A silver lining'.

So he came here this time only to ask for a chance. If he didn't come to admit his mistakes, he might not even have a chance.

This time, four or five tables were set up for the family banquet in the Chu Mansion. Some were old friends, some were former colleagues, and some were current officials from the Shoufu Pavilion. Of course, many of them just sent congratulatory gifts, and after congratulating them, they said goodbye and left without doing much. stay.

At the banquet, both guests and hosts were absolutely happy. Of course, there was an episode in the process, that is, Liu Jiwen's complexion changed after seeing Hubu Shangshu, which was wonderful.

Especially the Hubu Shangshu's cold face towards him made Liu Jiwen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It can be said that today he once again offended the Minister of the Household Department, but Liu Jiwen is not simple. How can a simple person enter the Shoufu Pavilion?

After thoroughly offending the Minister of the Household Department, Liu Jiwen understood that he only had the last way, which was to get Chu Xian's approval, otherwise he knew that he would not be able to be a servant for long.

With this realization in his heart, Liu Jiwen felt relieved.

This is more like a transformation under strong pressure and terrible reality. At this time, Liu Jiwen has already begun to think about how to continue to implement or even strengthen the land reform after Chu Xian left the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is not stupid, Chu Xian's Land reform should only be the first step, and there must be follow-up actions in the next step, so as long as I follow Chu Xian's footsteps, as long as I get his approval, I will definitely have a chance to stand up.

In short, everyone has their own thoughts.

After the banquet was over and the guests left, Chu Xian ordered Qi Chengxiang to fetch today's gift list and looked at it. Qi Chengxiang was also quite surprised. You must know that Chu Xian never asked about such things in the past.

But Qi Chengxiang's character is that he doesn't ask too many questions, because he knows that his thinking will never keep up with Chu Xian.

After reading the gift list, Chu Xian said: "Give a copy of this gift list to the Procuratorate, and let the Procuratorate see how much it is worth. Also, have you checked who I asked you to check?"

When Qi Chengxiang heard this, he nodded hurriedly, took out a stack of documents from his arms, and handed it to Chu Xian respectfully.

After Ji Wen got married, he no longer had the ability to influence Dongzhusi, so Qi Chengxiang became the only person on Chu Xian's side who could influence Dongzhusi.

As the new commander, Qi Chengxiang's influence in the Dongzhu Division is not small, it is second only to the two commanders, and it is relatively easy to find out who they are.

Qi Chengxiang went to work, while Chu Xian opened the document in his hand and read it by himself.

Having attained the position of Shang Shuling, Chu Xian not only immerses himself in work, he must form his own subordinates, and most importantly, he must have his own people not only in the court, but also in the Shoufu Pavilion.

There must be at least one.

Li Yuanming's subordinate in the past was Liu Jiwen, which is known to everyone, and Liu Jiwen was favored by Li Yuanming because Liu Jiwen was indeed capable. Leaving aside this, what Chu Xian is thinking about now is that he serves as Minister , the official position of the left servant of the household department was vacant before.

You know, this is a third-rank official position, and the most important thing is the members of the Shoufu Pavilion. I don’t know how many people are staring at him eagerly, wanting to seek, dreaming of being in the top position.

But this matter, Chu Xian had informed Grand Master Xiao Yu before that Chu Xian had the right to nominate the candidate for Zuo Shilang. In other words, Chu Xian had a large proportion in the decision on the final candidate.

So Chu Xian will of course recommend a candidate he likes, that is to say, the left servant of the household department will become his confidant in the future.

But who to recommend, this needs to be considered.

Among the people close to Chu Xian, there is no one who has this qualification. Shen Ziyi is not qualified. Relatively speaking, Cui Huanzhi has the highest qualifications. But firstly, Cui Huanzhi is not a Taoist, and now he has broken through the Taoist cultivation in Tianzhou Academy. Second, Even if Cui Huanzhi becomes a Taoist in the future, he is very likely to succeed the current Zhongshu Ling, and it is impossible to go to the Ministry of Households to be the left servant.

The current Zhongshu Ling is a veteran Daoist. Everyone knows that it is just a transition, and it will be replaced when there is a suitable one.

So Chu Xian could only look for another candidate.

But fortunately, Chu Xian was planning for a rainy day and had been observing a person for a long time.

This person is Zhuge Hong.

That is, Zhuge Hong, the illegitimate son of Zhuge Yanshan, who was pushed out by the Zhuge family to replace him as the left servant of the household department more than three years ago.

Although Chu Xian looked down on Zhuge Yanshan and the declining Zhuge family, Chu Xian still admired Zhuge Hong.

This person is very capable. Before he became the governor of a state, he didn't get any help from anyone. He relied on his own ability. It only took 20 years, which is already extremely fast for ordinary people.

From this point, Zhuge Hong is a talent.

In addition, because they didn't grow up in Zhuge's family at all, the other party didn't have the arrogance of a big family. , announced in a high-profile manner that Zhuge Hong would be welcomed back to the family, and was recognized by the family.

However, Zhuge Hong was not particularly happy about this matter, and his sense of identity with the Zhuge family was also very low, not only because he did not grow up in the Zhuge family, but also because his own ideas were different.

Later, because of Zhuge Yanshan's commotion at the court meeting, Zhuge Hong came here to 'apology', but he didn't say anything about Zhuge Yanshan, but begged Chu Xian not to care about him as usual, and he came to intercede.

This is quite clever.

Regardless of whether Zhuge Hong is sincere, no matter what the situation is, it shows that Zhuge Hong is a powerful character, and what Chu Xian needs now is a powerful character. In addition, the other party is still a very loyal person. After all, even if he doesn't like Zhuge's family, but he still maintains it everywhere, then we can know that Zhuge Hong's way of standing is in line with Chu Xian's needs.

In addition, in the past three years, Zhuge Hong has often come to visit, and he has not had too much contact with other forces. Chu Xian is very clear about his intentions. The other party obviously intends to worship Chu Xian and gain Chu Xian's wings shelter.

In this way, after three years of consideration, Dongzhu Sizai was asked to check Zhuge Hong's details carefully, and with Chu Xian's own testing and testing, it can be said that Zhuge Hong has already met Chu Xian's request. is available to people.

So this time, Chu Xian planned to let Zhuge Hong take the position of the left servant of the household department.

However, this matter has not been told to Zhuge Hong yet, Chu Xian believes that Zhuge Hong must be restless now, thinking about the seat of the auxiliary pavilion.
