Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 147 Meeting Li Qingzhao's Father
A night of red mantle dancing.

When the sun came in in the morning, Li Gan still felt unreal when he looked at Xi Shi's flawless sleeping face in his arms.

Li Qian stretched out his fingers and touched the beauty's flawless face, from the black eyebrows like a distant mountain, to the upturned Qiong nose, to the delicate jade cheeks...

The soft and delicate touch came from the fingertips, telling Li Qian that the girl with almost perfect appearance in front of him was real.

His actions made the sleeping Xi Shi frowned slightly, blinked her pink lips, and turned her head to the other side.

A smile curled up on the corner of Li Gan's mouth, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, and instead of continuing to make trouble, he got out of bed, got dressed, and walked outside.

Now is not the time for the king not to go to court early.

Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, only started Tianbao after the Kaiyuan prosperity. Why should he let his life be safe and secure first?
After leaving the Jingyang Palace, the old eunuch had been waiting at the entrance of the palace early in the morning.

"Your Majesty is so diligent, it's really a blessing to thousands of people!" The old eunuch bowed and smiled shyly.

This is a daily routine of flattery, and it was classified as early fart by Li Gan.

When I was about to go to bed at night, there was another late fart. These are all routine.

Of course, there are more times of free play on weekdays, so no statistics are made.

But today Li Gan didn't accept his flattery with a smile, but took the old eunuch's arm, and the two walked forward.

The old eunuch was startled, and hastily turned around to stare at the many eunuchs. The young eunuchs backed away one after another, keeping distance from the two of them.

Then the old eunuch turned around and looked at Li Gan tentatively: "Your Majesty?"

Li Gan smiled and said to him: "Big Companion, send someone to find out who put so many ice trays in Qiushui Pavilion last night?"

The old eunuch was startled when he heard this.

His majesty's every move in the palace was reported by eunuchs and maids from below.

His Majesty was angry for some reason last night, so someone came to tell him.

It's just that he didn't expect His Majesty to move his mind and insist on finding that person.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch immediately answered with hands clasped.

Regardless of whether this is a trivial matter or not, His Majesty the Emperor ordered it to be done in a big way.

Li Qian thought for a while, and added: "Ask again if there is someone instigating behind this, no matter whether there is someone, you must come and tell me. Also, don't let Xi Shi know about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this slave will do it with all her heart."

The old eunuch didn't dare to promise such a thing, he would definitely ask.

There are all sorts of strange things happening in the palace, maybe one day a palace lady will die suddenly, and a eunuch will disappear.

Even the great eunuch who is uniquely favored, it is difficult to organize the huge palace clearly, and something may go wrong somewhere.

"it is good."

Li Gan waved his hand, and then he smiled: "Take it easy these few days, and leave the palace, and go out for a stroll in two days."

Avoid the limelight first, if you are chased by those gangsters again, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch responded immediately, and said with a shy smile: "Your Majesty, are you going to have breakfast?"

"Ah."

Li Gan nodded, sat on the shoulder chair, thought for a while and said: "Send a copy to Xi Shi, and let the palace maid in after she wakes up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch responded, but secretly sighed in his heart, His Majesty has had many concubines, but not many concubines were given breakfast, so he immediately remembered it in his heart.

With so many concubines in the harem, the treatment is naturally different.

The rank of the concubine is not important, it all depends on the holy favor, where the holy will is, naturally whoever will live a more comfortable life...

After explaining to the old eunuch, Li Qian sat on the shoulder chair and headed forward.

While Li Gan was eating breakfast in the spacious and bright Zhengshi Hall, Qin Hui was approached by someone in the Wenyuan Pavilion not far from Ziwei Hall.

"Father, Wang Mang is here."

Qin Xi took a quick step, and went back to the value room first, and told Qin Hui who was sipping crab roe porridge.

Before Qin Hui could swallow the porridge in his mouth, there was a rush of thumping sounds from the corridor, obviously someone was rushing over.

"Qin Xiang, the next official, Wang Mang, has met Qin Xiang."

Before the person arrived, the voice came over.

Qin Hui smiled slightly, judging by his posture, he should be angry with His Majesty, right?
But yes, I heard that yesterday he talked with His Majesty in Ziwei Hall all afternoon, if the two can agree, how can they argue for a whole afternoon?
"Wang Zongbo, please come in!"

Qin Hui put down the crystal ivory kingfisher spoon in his hand, and signaled Qin Xi to open the door.

Although the conversation with Wang Mang yesterday was not very pleasant, but Qin Xiang understood that this is the best time to let go of the past and win people over...

Qin Xi was walking towards the door, but unexpectedly Wang Mang didn't wait for him to open the door, and pushed the door open in a hurry.

There was a bang, and as the wooden door came into close contact with her face, Qin Xi's face, which had just been flattened, quickly became red and swollen again.

Qin Xi sat down on the ground, covering his face, completely dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, little brother."

Seeing that someone fell down, Wang Mang was still very sorry, so he stepped forward and helped Qin Xi... No, it was erected.

"Is this a document from the Central Secretariat?"

He looked Qin Xi up and down for a moment, and while apologetic, he also frowned slightly: "You don't wear official uniforms in the yamen, you are..."

Qin Hui saw that his son was unable to grasp Wang Mang, so he hurriedly got up from behind the table and walked over: "Wang Zongbo, this is a dog, and it bumped into Wang Zongbo."

On the other side, he reprimanded Qin Xi: "Why don't you apologize to Wang Zongbo soon?"

Qin Xi was shocked, and hurriedly put down the hand covering his face, and bowed to apologize: "Wang Zongbo..."

As soon as he started talking, Wang Mang took it up: "This matter is because I am too impatient. You have suffered, how can I accept your apology."

The aggrieved Qin Xi finally felt better, and his impression of Wang Zongbo, a rough guy, was also a little bit better.

Wang Mang patted Qin Xi's shoulder repeatedly, and said to Qin Hui with a big smile, "Qin Xiang, the tiger father has no sons. This son has a head and horns at a young age, and his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Qin Hui."

Qin Hui ignored his polite words with a smile while wondering in his heart.

Looking at Wang Mang like this, it doesn't look like he quarreled with His Majesty for a long time yesterday.

With his temperament, if he was angry yesterday, he must not be able to get over it so quickly today...

Qin Hui was puzzled, but smiled and asked Wang Mang to sit down: "Wang Zongbo, the truth is that we are eating, why don't we have breakfast together?"

He was just being polite, but he didn't expect Wang Mang to be so rude.

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Qin."

Wang Mang reached out and picked up a delicate thin-skinned steamed bun, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it after a few mouthfuls.

"I came here early this morning to look for Prime Minister Qin, and I didn't even eat any food. I would like to thank Prime Minister Qin for his hospitality!"

Seeing his big hand stretching directly into the white porcelain plate to take the buns, Qin Hui's face froze at first, but after hearing the words, his heart became more curious.

Looking at him like this, it doesn't look like he was angry yesterday, but rather happy...

Wang Mang didn't speak when eating, not even with Qin Hui. A right minister and a minister of the Ministry of Rites started to eat breakfast in the value room of Wenyuan Pavilion.

However, Wang Mang's large mouthfuls made people very appetizing, and even took Qin Hui to eat a few more mouthfuls.

Of course, he asked Qin Xi to send another pair of chopsticks, and as long as Wang Mang grabbed something, Qin Xiang would never touch it.

After the two of them had dinner, Wang Mang finally talked about the purpose of his visit.

"Qin Xiang, go back and ask Dr. Li, does he want to work as Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Rites?"

Qin Hui was rinsing his mouth with the after-dinner tea, when he heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Cough cough~"

He kept wiping the water stains around his mouth with a handkerchief, and Qin Xi hurried over to take the porcelain cup as white as cold jade in his hand.

"Wang Zongbo..."

Qin Hui suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked up at him curiously: "Now Yuanwailang can be transferred?"

Yesterday I swore that I couldn't do favoritism, and I couldn't transfer the well-done Yuanwailang away for Li Gefei's sake. Why did I suddenly ask which one I want to relocate all of a sudden today?

Although he changed his mind quickly, Wang Mang didn't blush at all, and said casually: "Whether you can be transferred or not depends on which department Dr. Li is willing to go to, and the next official will ask them about their intentions."

Although it was to ask about the intentions of several Yuanwailang, but the top leaders in the ministry have asked this. If you still occupy your seat and don't move your back...you can imagine what the future will be like.

Therefore, Wang Mang's words basically mean that Li Gefei can go to any company he wants to go to.

Qin Hui was overjoyed, and immediately expressed his attitude: "Don't worry, Wang Zongbo, Yuanwailang, who left the Ministry of Rites, will definitely find a good place for them."

But after he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure, put down the handkerchief in his hand, and asked Wang Mang with a smile, "Which company does Wang Zongbo think Dr. Li should go to?"

Wang Mang frowned for a moment: "Qin Xiang also knows that the fourth department of the Ministry of Rites should be headed by the Yizhi Department."

The chief of ceremonies is in charge of affairs such as ceremony, military ceremony, school, and imperial examination, which can be said to be the top job in the Ministry of Rites.

The priests of the shrine knew what they were doing as soon as they heard the name, while the chief guest officer was responsible for receiving guests and foreign guests, and occasionally went out to run errands, which partially overlapped with Honglu Temple’s duties, but not completely the same. All kinds of big banquets, sacrifices, etc., are held together with Guanglu Temple.

The functions of these divisions are really quite different from those of the Yizhi Division.

"However, the other three departments can also show their strengths, but it is best for Dr. Li not to go to the guest department."

Qin Hui thought for a moment, but he didn't choose the best job, but said, "Wang Zongbo, I really think that the shrine priest is more suitable for Dr. Li."

"Oh?"

Wang Mang was startled, then laughed and said: "Qin Xiang, it's difficult for an official to make decisions about this matter, and Dr. Li is your elder, so it's also difficult for you to make decisions. Why don't you go back and ask him what he thinks, and I will make arrangements for you?"

Qin Hui was startled, at first he thought he was being polite, but now that he heard this posture, even if Li Gefei was to be Yuanwailang of the Department of Ceremonies, he would still be able to arrange for him?

"What Wang Zongbo said is very true, but the truth is confused."

Qin Hui said with emotion: "After all, it is the transfer of the elder's official position, and the truth cannot be discussed. How about asking Dr. Li to discuss it with Wang Zongbo in detail?"

However, Wang Mang laughed and waved his hands: "Xiaguan and Dr. Li will have a lot of time. I should tell Xiaguan after Qin Xiang finished asking. At that time, Xiaguan can talk to that Yuanwailang, and then he can be transferred."

After speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

Qin Hui held him back for a while symbolically, then sent him to the gate of the duty room, watching Wang Mang thumping down the stairs and leaving Wenyuan Pavilion.

After returning to the duty room, Qin Hui frowned and stared at the paperwork on the table, without saying a word for a long time.

Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere in the room was oppressive, Qin Xi asked cautiously, "Father, is my uncle going to be promoted to the Ministry of Rites?"

Qin Hui came back to his senses after contemplating, looked at Qin Xi's swollen cheeks, and nodded lightly. At first he thought that something happened to Qin Xi's strange face, but he saw the bear he hit on the door just now. In this way, Qin Hui understood.

It must be that the child is too stupid, and he bumped into something while walking, and I am embarrassed to tell the adults, so he just went to hide outside for a few days.

Other people's children are getting smarter and smarter, why is he the only one who is getting stupider...

Qin Hui sighed, which frightened Qin Xi so much that he looked at his face tentatively: "Father...?"

"It's about to be promoted."

Qin Hui stood up suddenly: "You send someone to deliver the post first, I'm going to visit my uncle tonight as a father."

"Yes, father."

Qin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out quickly, but he didn't want to be in a hurry, tripped over the hem of his clothes, and almost hit his face against the door again.

"Ah~"

Qin Hui's faint sigh came from behind, Qin Xi was startled, and hurriedly opened the door and went out to do business.

There is a lot of etiquette in door-to-door visits these days, especially among scholars, you can't rush to the door, it is a great disrespect.

If you want to visit, you must first hand over a greeting card, clearly stating who the visiting person is and when you will go.

Generally speaking, this kind of invitation must be handed at least one day in advance, but the Qin family and the Li family are relatives, so it is not so much to pay attention to.

That is to say, the two have not had much contact in recent years. If they have frequent contacts, they don't even need to post posts, they can just come to the door directly...

It's night, Li Mansion.

Qin Hui brought Wang Feng and Qin Xi to visit.

The passers-by of Li's mansion all looked at the luxurious official sedans parked in the front yard with trepidation, fearful and delighted at the same time.

What I am afraid of is the majesty of Qin Xiang, this is the prime minister of the imperial court!
Since today's invitation was handed over, the servants were startled, and the door rushed to the main room holding the invitation.

Li Gefei had never mentioned this relative to his servants, so these servants were shocked by the contents of the greeting post.

Qin Xiang, you want to visit our house?

The excited servants had long hid behind the hall, watching from a distance.

When Qin Xiang got out of the sedan chair, he could feel the breathless momentum of rushing towards his face and crushing people, which could be felt from so far away!
Even though he was clawing at the base of the wall, his legs were still a little weak.

But what makes a kind of servant secretly happy is that even such a formidable Prime Minister Qin actually salutes his master and wife, obediently calls him aunt, uncle, and even his young lady calls him cousin-in-law!

That idiot who lived at home for a few days before is actually the son of Qin Xiang's family? ?

It wasn't until a group of people entered the inner hall that the servants came back to their senses and began to discuss in low voices.

"Oh! I actually served the porridge bowl for Qin Xiang's young master?"

A maid with a big arm and a round waist pinched the hem of the skirt with one hand, barely covered a third of her face with the other fat hand, and said rather shyly: "What if he takes a fancy to me?"

The people around subconsciously backed away a few steps, and one of the young men in green clothes and hat forced a smile and said: "Liuya, didn't you say two days ago that that silly boy is a distant relative of the master, and if you look at you more, you are still a toad Want to eat swan meat?"

"Who said that?"

Liuya stared at the boy with tiger eyes, and looked at the boy rather unkindly, causing him to stagger in fright: "I mean, you don't want to be toads who want to eat swan meat, or want to get close to Young Master Qin!"

"Yes, yes..." The boy hastily forced a smile and backed away.

The housekeeper and others have all entered the hall to serve, and no one here dares to bully her, and all the servants and maids are frightened and scattered...

In the main hall, the guest of honor was seated, and Li Gefei had a faint smile on his face.

Li Wang greeted the servant girl to serve tea and snacks, and at the same time pulled his younger sister and Zhou Lei over to say hello.

"Will you, Xiaofeng, thank you so much a while ago."

The gratitude and emotion on Li Wang's face was not pretended: "Xiao Lei went to prison, thanks to your busy schedule, Boyang came to help."

"He came out a few days ago. He planned to come to thank you, but knowing that you were busy, he was afraid of delaying your business, so he just sent a thank you gift..."

On the other side, Mrs. Zhou also pulled Zhou Lei up to express her thanks. Li Qingzhao, who was pretty and elegant, watched the scene quietly from the side, taking a panoramic view of the behavior of her cousin and her husband.

Wang Feng hastily got up with a coquettish smile: "Eldest aunt and second aunt are a family, why should you be so polite?"

"We are also busy every day. If the two aunts go, can we not welcome you..."

Under the greetings of several women, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

After chatting for a while, the food was served.

This is a family banquet, and there is no rule that women are not allowed to attend the banquet. The atmosphere is warm and lively.

Qin Hui smiled and brought up the matter of Li Gefei: "Uncle is a man of great talent, rich in education, and teaching in the Imperial College, it is really too inferior."

"I don't know if Master Uncle intends to move up again?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole table was silent for a moment.

Mrs. Li Wang and Mrs. Zhou looked at Qin Hui together, and even Li Qingzhao looked at his cousin-in-law with slightly open almond eyes in surprise.

Li Gefei smiled lightly and shook his head: "Waizhi, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that although teaching in Taixue is hard work, being with poetry and books can also be said to be a pleasure."

When Li Wang saw what he said, he was afraid of offending Qin Hui, so he forcefully replied with a smile: "Huizhi, your uncle has such a personality, and he is not good at dealing with others. If he leaves the Imperial College, won't he just offend people outside? "

Qin Hui also expressed admiration, and cupped his hands in praise: "Uncle has the ambition of Tao Gong, and my nephew admires him in his heart, but he is full of economics, but it is difficult to show his affection for the court and help the world and save the people. Isn't it a pity."

Li Gefei frowned unrecognizably, but before he could say anything, Qin Hui continued to laugh and said, "My nephew also thought of my uncle's concerns, so when your Majesty asked about it, my little nephew specially recommended my uncle to serve in the Ministry of Rites. "

"Ministry of Rites?"

Hearing this, Li Gefei hesitated for a moment when he was about to refuse.

Although the Ministry of Rites is not top-notch, it is the most noble of the six.

This is the place that many Hanlin and academic officials want to go to.

But Li Wangshi noticed Qin Hui's other words: "Your Majesty asked?"

Her almond eyes were slightly opened, and she was quite charming: "Your Majesty actually knows about our master?"

Qin Hui smiled and said: "My aunt has learned a lot from others. For example, if you have an awl in your pocket, you can see it immediately."

"The other day, His Majesty called his nephew to the political affairs hall, and said that he was inspired by my uncle's "Theory of Breaking Ink Obsession", and his favorite sentence is "Why can't be jade..."

He recounted the situation that day, causing everyone in the audience to look at each other in blank dismay.

"Your Majesty... really appreciate that article so much?" Although Li Gefei had a calm face, he had already tightly squeezed the wine glass in his hand, and his knuckles were a little white.

He didn't expect that the cause turned out to be the article!

For a person who is immersed in poetry and books all day long and obsessed with academics, his works are like his own children, and there is nothing happier than being appreciated for his works.

Just like a novel author, there is nothing happier than being welcomed by readers.Of course, a subscription is even better...

The same is true for Li Gefei, not to mention that the person who appreciates his works is still His Majesty the Emperor, the ruler of the ministers, and the Son of Heaven.

"That's natural, how dare my nephew pretend to be sacred?"

Qin Hui smiled and said: "Not only that, Your Majesty loves my uncle even more. Originally, Shangshu Wang Zongbo of the Ministry of Rites would not agree to be transferred to Yuanwailang anyway. He said that now there are four Yuanwailangs."

Li Wang couldn't help but let out a coquettish cry: "If you offend Wang Zongbo, even if Uncle Wen went to the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid..."

Li Gefei, Uncle Wen.

She just wanted to say that there will be no good days, but she felt that it was not appropriate when she said the words.

Li Gefei also frowned, if it was what Qin Hui said, it would be better to continue teaching and educating people in the Imperial College.

Qin Hui smiled and said: "My nephew also went to lobby Wang Zongbo, but he didn't appreciate it, until yesterday he went to the palace to meet the saint and talk with His Majesty for half a day. But I didn't want to come to find my nephew early this morning. Ask my uncle which department of the Ministry of Rites he wants to go to, and he will immediately ask that Yuanwailang to make room for uncle."

Li Gefei and the others were stunned when they heard the words, this change is too big?
I didn’t agree to what I said yesterday, but today I just asked which company I want to go to?

Qin Hui looked a little serious, and said to Li Gefei: "Uncle, the sacred order is hard to disobey. Your Majesty appreciates Uncle as a great talent. As a minister, he should serve the family and the country in response to the sacred order. Uncle is in full bloom and strong. It is a great exhibition." Time for great plans!"

Although Li Gefei's face was somewhat complicated, he quickly adjusted and said solemnly: "Since His Majesty wants to promote me, how can there be any reason to refuse?"

What I said is true, if the emperor doesn’t do anything even if he gets promoted, then what awaits you next may be that there will be no officials to do...

Seeing Li Gefei like this, Qin Hui also relaxed, and said with a smile: "Uncle, would you like to be an official in the Ministry of Rites? My nephew told Wang Zongbo that he will be able to take up the post in a few days."

He added: "If you can't think about it for a while, you can send someone to tell my nephew after a few days."

Li Wangshi looked at her husband-in-law with beautiful eyes like autumn water, and even Mrs. Zhou stared at her brother-in-law closely.

You can choose the Yamen by yourself when you get promoted. Where can you find such a great thing?

However, Li Gefei pondered for a moment, and made a decision directly at the dinner table: "I will meet you, thank you for going around."

"I still think that the shrine priest is more suitable for me."

A faint disappointment flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, but he still forced a smile and said, "Uncle, don't be so eager. If my nephew tells Wang Zongbo, then I can't change it."

Li Gefei shook his head lightly: "Since Your Majesty has hope for me, then I will not disappoint His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"I know that the Department of Ritual System is the first-class job in the Ministry of Rites, but the responsibility of the Department of Ritual System is too heavy, and I have never been exposed to responsibilities other than those of the Imperial Academy. Get used to it."

The academic officials of the Imperial College were almost all staring at the position of the Ministry of Rites. Even if he didn't try to find out deliberately, he could clearly understand the way of it every day.

Qin Hui nodded and raised his glass to express his respect: "Uncle is steady and thoughtful, my nephew admires him."

Li Gefei also smiled softly, and raised his glass politely.

Seeing that Li Gefei's promotion seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Li Wang was half happy and half worried, but looking at his husband's quiet face, he still supported him on the whole.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhou looked at her brother-in-law happily, and began to ease the somewhat dignified atmosphere, then she showed a beautiful smile and said, "I just don't know what your Majesty said to Wang Zongbo to make Wang Zongbo change all of a sudden." If you change your attitude, you will choose the yamen of the Ministry of Rites at random."

Qin Hui was very happy, wishing he could hug this second aunt and kiss her.

"This little nephew doesn't know."

He pretended to be puzzled and shook his head: "Perhaps only His Majesty and Wang Zongbo know, maybe my uncle also knows."

"I know too?"

Li Gefei was taken aback, looking at Qin Hui in puzzlement.

Qin Hui nodded and said to him: "Uncle, Your Majesty admires your articles very much, and has been in love with you for a long time. Before you take office, it is best to ask His Majesty first."

He said so much before that even the promotion of Li Gefei was the intention of His Majesty the Emperor.

Saying this now, the few people at the table subconsciously thought that this was also what His Majesty the Emperor meant.

Li Gefei did not refuse, but nodded solemnly.

Qin Hui smiled and said: "Since His Majesty wants to see you, he will definitely tell you about the Ministry of Rites and Wang Zongbo."

Li Gefei also nodded, picked up a glass of wine in a strange way, and respected Qin Hui: "I will, anyway, thank you for your help."

Qin Hui also hurriedly raised his wine glass to drink, thinking that I didn't have such a big face before?
The toasts were mixed, and the guests of honor had a good time.

When the moon was high, the group was full of wine and food, and Qin Hui also offered to leave with a smile.

"I'll meet you, Feng'er, you guys have to slow down and be careful on the way."

Li Wang exhorted carefully.

In fact, there is a curfew now, and it stands to reason that you can no longer walk on the street.

But one of the purposes of setting rules is so that some people don't have to follow the rules.

Even if the officers and soldiers of the Bing Ma Division were blind, they would not dare to stop the sedan chair of the right minister.

After the two sides meet, it is more likely that the officers and soldiers will send Prime Minister Qin back to the mansion to escort him.

The luxurious sedan chair left the Li residence, and Qin Hui's family of three sat in the sedan chair.

Even at night, when walking on the smooth bluestone road, the bearers and sedan chairs are still as safe as boats on the water.

There are four bright lights on the inner wall of the car, and Wang Feng's charming face like a peach is a little brighter under the dim yellow light.

"Sanggong, I didn't expect you to be a person who is willing to say good things for others."

She frowned slightly, and looked at Qin Hui who was opposite: "Today, I actually helped His Majesty say so many good things in front of Uncle..."

It is not his style to attribute everything to His Majesty the Emperor.

Qin Hui smiled lightly: "If you don't say that, how can a husband know what His Majesty said to Wang Mang?"

If you asked Wang Mang directly, he would definitely not say it due to his temperament.

But now Li Gefei's curiosity is aroused and Li Gefei is allowed to test it out. The situation is naturally different.

I believe that the answer can be obtained from His Majesty...

The next day, Wang Mang, who got the news from Qin Hui, immediately started to operate. Wai Lang, the priest of the shrine, had already been promoted to the right counselor of the fifth-rank General Administration Secretary after only three years of preliminary examination. This was also a good compensation, and he naturally left contentedly.

You must know that Daqian's examination for officials is every three years, three years at the beginning of the year, six years at the middle school, and nine years before they can be promoted to a higher rank.

But many officials don't need to take this route, because of various accidents, appreciation from superiors, etc., they can always be promoted in advance.

Therefore, the average promotion time for high-ranking officials is about five years. Those who have survived for seven or eight years like Gao Shilian, and are transferred from Beijing officials to foreign officials, can indeed get the sympathy of many people...

Li Gefei's promotion also went smoothly. Under the simultaneous operation of the emperor, the right minister, and Wang Mang, the official department quickly issued the inauguration document.

Under the red eyes of his colleagues, he moved out of the Imperial Academy and came to the Ministry of Rites.

However, Li Gefei, who received the letter of appointment, did not go to the Ministry of Rites to report first, but came to Chengtianmen, and handed in a post to face the saint...

"Dr. Li wants to see me?"

In Ziwei Hall, Li Gan stood up immediately after hearing the news.

The smile on the old eunuch's face was a bit unnatural, because he was also present at the conflict outside the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion that day.

If Li Gefei came, he would definitely be able to recognize him.

"Your Majesty, the post has been handed over."

Li Gan sighed helplessly and muttered a few words, but Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi didn't hear anything.

"Your Majesty, is there anything special about Dr. Li?"

Lu Zhi opened a pair of big bright eyes and asked puzzledly.

"Haha~"

Li Ganqian laughed twice: "He is naturally a little special."

He hasn't told anyone about beating Qin Hui's son outside the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Seeing that His Majesty was unwilling to speak, Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi couldn't ask any further questions, but the curiosity in their beautiful eyes was hard to get rid of.

"Your Majesty... why don't the servants go back to him?" The old eunuch asked tentatively.

Li Qian frowned, but still shook his head: "Forget it, let him come."

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

Besides, Li Gefei was the one who proposed to be promoted by himself, and now he came to face the saint, but he didn't see him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch took the order and immediately walked out of the palace.

"and many more."

Li Qian looked at the old eunuch again and said, "Let others pass the message, just wait here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch wished so, so as not to be embarrassed for a while.
