Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 616 Visiting the Palace as a Guest
The home of Wang Zhi, the left servant of the Ministry of Anti-corruption, is located in Chongrenfang, where every inch of land is expensive. Although the location is good, it is the smallest set of official residences there. Wang Shilang’s home can be found anywhere on the street of Chongrenfang , because it is a very famous "ghost house".

Of course, this does not mean that there are ghosts in Wang Zhi's family, but to make fun of Wang Zhi, who has become such a big official, that he doesn't clean up the yard when he comes here, and he keeps looking like grass in and out of the yard. , is really enough to say.

Weeds are overgrown inside and outside the walls, no different from the ruined temples outside the city. Anyone who walks here at night will be frightened by the eerie scene, so the nickname of the haunted house is quite appropriate.

"Old Wang, how many times have I told you that you don't need to pay for the repair of the mansion. It is regarded as a reward for you, but why did you agree!" After entering the main hall, Li Chengqian sat down and smiled. asked.

Hehe, "Your Highness, I know that this little money is just a drop in the bucket to you. It's nothing. I don't care about the money. The weeds grow embarrassingly, which is really an eyesore, but they are indeed clean and anti-corruption. It is a good fence, without colleagues coming to the door, there is not much favor, and there are not so many scruples when enforcing the law!"

Wang Zhi's words made Li Chengqian's mouth full of words. Originally, he thought that Wang Zhi, like Dou Kuan, was concerned about money, so he saved everything and dealt with it wherever he could. Same time.

But it doesn’t seem to be the case now. From today’s words, it can be seen that this kid is considered a lonely minister. He has been in the court for so many years, except for the important members of the East Palace and the headquarters, he has never heard of anyone who has been in close contact with him, and has never For whom to go through favors, it has always been public to public, so this time he was so unscrupulous in dealing with the subordinates of the clean government, and he also saved a position for Li Chengqian that he would not suffer losses.

Alas, after sighing, Li Chengqian nodded, and then waved to Heng Lian outside the door, signaling him to bring in the newly-acquired official uniform and certificate.

Pointing to the purple robe, he said with a smile: "Old Wang, you have made remarkable achievements over the years. You are responsible for Langya County Duke's management of the Ministry of Clean Government in an orderly manner. Whether you are a majesty or an orphan, you know it well, and you are promoted to the third rank. Well deserved, to comfort you for years of hard work.

The promotion book was transferred today, and it was originally intended to be read in the yamen, but Gu knew that you were not a lively person, so Gu decided to bring it for you.

From now on, you will be the secretary of the Ministry of Integrity and Integrity and concurrently serve as Zuo Shilang, and manage the Ministry of Integrity together with Yanji. I only hope that in the hands of the two of you, the government of the country will be clearer, and the diligence and cleanliness will be clear again! "

Those who are officials and politicians, who doesn't want to live in eight houses, open government offices and build mansions, and Wang Zhi is no exception. He is a traditional scholar, and he pursues the old philosophy of being a scholar who assists the prime minister and the emperor, and stabilizes the world.But no one likes to be promoted. Wang Zhi is an aspiring official. For him, the bigger the official, the more he can do.

But his health is not up to par, and his illness from last year has not recovered by this year, otherwise Dou Kuan would not be the minister of the Ministry of Integrity.At the beginning, Wang Zhi also secretly complained about his lack of health, and the new Shangshu Dou Kuan also came to visit him every now and then, and these two old official officials who came and went became close friends.The desire to be the chief official faded away. Anyway, he was serving the court and being loyal to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Why not do it!
Looking at this brand-new purple robe and listening to the words of encouragement from the prince, it would be a lie to say that Wang Zhi was not moved. He is a school inspector who is different from ordinary school inspectors. What a grace it is for His Highness to promote himself without shy away from Dou Shangshu's ideas!

In the Tang Dynasty, the third-rank official was basically the pinnacle, and one step higher was to pay homage to the prime minister. Wang Zhi is not yet 40 years old this year, and he was born in a commoner.You must know that many people at his age are still at the fifth and sixth ranks. With his temper, without a crown prince, the county magistrate might not be promoted until he dies.

"His Royal Highness, this, this minister is just doing his duty. Your Highness is so unconventional to promote this minister. I am grateful, but this is not the right time. There are many people in the court staring at us." Wang Zhixing said After the big gift, he said with a worried face.

Hehe, after chuckling twice, Li Chengqian waved his hand, and then said: "It's okay, Lao Wang, your highness can still bear this bit of tongue, the Ministry of Integrity and Government is the pillar of the East Palace in the court, you hold this position, it is I have made great contributions to isolation, so I can just bear this official uniform with peace of mind.

Besides, where are your political achievements? If anyone is jealous, as long as you can show the same political achievements, no matter whether it is from the Eastern Palace or not, you are welcome to advance to his rank.Moreover, the promotion of such a high-ranking official must be approved by His Majesty Zhu, and his old man has no objection, so what are you worrying about. "

After making a promise, Wang Zhi sat back again, and then said in a solemn voice: "Your Highness, Zhongshan King has been added to the East Palace. After you return from the Western Expedition, your main attention will be on the little prince. I am also a parent. Such a person is so sophisticated. The minister naturally understood.

However, I have to remind you that during your expedition to the west, Wei Zheng helped Cen Wenwen speak several times for the officials of King Wu's family, and all of them were approved by His Majesty. , which is not a good sign.

If the subject is not good at being specific, according to His Majesty's temper, the Ministry of Integrity and Government will definitely go through a reshuffle this time, and it is not the first time Wei Zheng has made trouble in the court. Who can guarantee that he will not mix people from King Wu? Come in, so this is also the reason why brother Yanji came against him. "

Wang Zhi said this to excuse Dou Kuan. He was afraid that the crown prince would complain in his heart because of what happened in the early court today. Both civil and military officials in the court knew that whenever Wei Zheng had trouble with the emperor, the crown prince would speak for him. It is difficult to guarantee whether he has secretly turned to King Wu's side.

Both Wang Zhi and the others are low-level officials, and their current status is all dependent on the kindness of the prince. The reason why Dou Kuan refused to give up an inch in the court was not because of his loyalty to the prince, but it was different from the ungrateful Wei Zheng.

Well, interesting, very interesting, originally Li Chengqian really didn't care, but Chang Sun Chong also reported the same thing, saying that Wei Zheng was very annoyed because he didn't stop him from taking command, so this old guy actually thought of using the third child to hold him back , He did not hesitate to let the royal family fight again, no wonder the emperor is so abnormal today!
"Old Wang, Gu knows it well. Cats have cats, mice have rats, and everyone has their own destiny. As long as we are selfless in our hearts, we will naturally be flattered." During the conversation, Li Chengqian waved his hand and continued: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, Gu Jin'er is not only here because of the official uniform, but more importantly because of the upcoming Spring Festival.".
