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

Chapter 169 Li Qian's Premeditated Scheme!A big step forward!

Today's situation is actually similar to Li Gan's first court meetings.

The same officials objected, but Wei Zheng agreed.

This situation made Li Qian more and more pleasing to Wei Zheng.

If there is no one who is the only one who opposes, and all the ministers of the court are exerting their strength in one place, then he, the emperor, can't do anything.

Today, although the situation in the court is similar, Li Gan is not the same Li Gan as before.

"Qin Xiang, Wei Qing's family, there is no need to say more."

Li Qian opened his mouth, but the ministers who wanted to help Qin Hui later had to temporarily silence.

He looked at Qin Hui below with a smile: "I also know that there are some disadvantages in this matter. The cursive scripts that come up from the people must be good and bad, so I will not read them all, but will let people pick out some worth reading. Bring it to me."

The ministers were startled when they heard this.

If so, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

It is said that it is the advice of the people, but what the emperor can see still depends on the person who chooses...

Taking advantage of the hesitation of the ministers, Li Gan took advantage of the situation to settle the matter: "This yamen will be called... Guangwen Department first."

"The main lawsuit is tentatively designated as the eighth rank, and it is sufficient to have two division chiefs of the ninth rank."

Authentic eight products?
Hearing this title, the ministers grinned for a while, with different expressions.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, is this position too small?"

"It's not small!" Li Gan laughed and said, "The general who accepts the memorials of hundreds of officials is the third rank, and the people who accept the common people with messy cursive scripts are ten ranks lower, how can it not be too much?"

The ministers were also hated by His Majesty the Emperor before, but this time was the most comfortable one.

They have always boasted that they are much nobler than those mud-legged people down there, and now they don't like it too much after hearing this.

A smile curled up at the corner of Li Gan's mouth. The ministers were not pretentious. If they had to say it, it might be explained by the word bureaucracy.

Putting on this skin, they will subconsciously make some actions to isolate themselves from the common people in order to highlight their status.

Since ancient times, western aristocrats have invented extremely complicated etiquette, and Daqian is similar. Common people's clothing, housing, etc. have regulations, and exceeding it is arrogance.

Now the cursive script handed over by the common people is accepted by officials of the eighth rank, while the memorials of the ministers are in charge of the yamen of the third rank. Doesn’t this reflect class again?
Li Gan felt that, at least on this point, these ministers would not oppose him.

But presumably these people don't know their backhands. The memorials of the ministers will be copied and distributed in the mansion newspaper, and the cursive scripts of the common people will naturally be copied in the newspaper.

I don't know what expressions these people will have at that time.

In Qianyang Hall, as Li Gan's voice fell, many officials fell into silence for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Gan smiled softly: "If nothing else happens, let's settle the matter of Guangwen Division first."

But Qin Hui suddenly spoke.

He frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know which yamen the Guangwen Department is located under?"

Li Gan said with a light smile: "I have said it before, and I will not trouble the noble families in the court."

"So, the Guangwen Office will not be located in any yamen, but an isolated yamen."

Qin Hui immediately clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, in order to relieve your worries, dare to resign from your labor?"

"Your Majesty wants to listen to the people's words. Zhongshu Sheng is willing to take this job to help you share your worries."

Cai Jing seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Your Majesty, it would be more convenient to put the Guangwen Department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites like the Jiaofang Department, Daolu Department and other yamen."

The ministers all looked at the two with curious eyes.

Although this is not absolute, it is applicable to most situations.

Now seeing that the secretary is only the eighth rank, he knows that this so-called Guangwen department is not an important yamen.

Maybe it's just something that His Majesty made to play tickets. It's too new. Whether he still remembers the existence of this small yamen is another matter.

As for fighting here?
"Don't be so troublesome."

There are still smart people in the court. Even if they didn't see Li Gan's backhand, Qin Hui and Cai Jing wanted to take over this little Guangwen Division.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can always be counted as a backhand.

Li Gan said with a smile: "I can just take a look when I have nothing to do. If this is in charge, that is in charge, it's not good to be too high-level."

"For the common people, just take a look at it at will, mainly to calm the rumors in the capital."

"Could it be that the two Qings still want to formalize this matter, and let the Guangwen Department, like the Tongzheng Department, add a third-rank Guangwen Envoy?"

He smiled and nodded, and said, "This is too much of a fuss!"

"Your Majesty is wise, the cursive script written by the people should be treated as gossip in the city and opera in Goulan. You can just find some fun in it when you have nothing to do, and you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

The envoy Luo Longwen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I would also like to ask you to focus on the memorial and the government. It is more appropriate to separate the Guangwen Department's Yamen from the three provinces and six departments."

He is an envoy, so naturally he doesn't want to see another yamen with similar functions and status appear.

Luo Longwen wanted to play down the existence of this Department of Guangwen, but if this thing was included in a department, there would be a big brother covering it...

Then the status of the Guangwen Division will inevitably begin to improve.

"Your Majesty, if we take the example of the Secretary of General Administration, the Department of Guangwen should not be under the jurisdiction of other yamen."

Wu Shenglan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, also said: "It is also the yamen that plays the words in the palm, and the General Administration Department is completely independent from the three provinces and six departments. The Guangwen Department should be the same."

Wei Zheng also spoke again: "Your Majesty, I also think that the Guangwen Department should not be under the control of other yamen."

Li Qian nodded with a smile: "What the Qing family said makes sense, and it is very much in line with my wishes."

Seeing this, Qin Hui also lost his incantation, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, where should I select the eighth-rank Guangwen Division Siwu from?"

Li Ganpi glanced at him with a non-smiling smile, you really care a lot.

"The incident happened suddenly. I also had a temporary idea about the matter of the Guangwen Division. I can only try it first. I didn't think about the specific details for a while."

He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Let's choose one from the Hanlin Academy to be on top. What will happen next, I will decide after investigation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Shenglan responded immediately: "The Ministry of Officials will definitely determine the candidate as soon as possible, and present it to His Majesty for the holy judgment."

Li Qian looked at Qin Hui and Cai Jing with a smile: "How do Prime Minister Qin and Cai Qing's family feel?"

What else could it be?

You have settled down, what else can you do?

Both of them clasped their hands together and said: "I have no objection."

It's okay to fight over major issues, but it would be unwise to compete with the emperor at the court meeting for such a petty official of the eighth rank.

"it is good."

Li Gan smiled slightly: "If there is nothing else, then let's go."

No one responded from the officials, so Li Gan got up and walked out of the hall.

The ministers also left the hall one by one with mixed feelings.

In any case, the rumors about cursive script circulating in the city are finally coming to an end.

You no longer have to worry about being looked at with strange eyes all day long.

As for the new Guangwen Division... subconsciously, it was ignored.

The position of the eighth rank must not be used as a transfer rank, so this place is of no help to the promotion of Beijing officials.

And the matter of screening people's cursive script and passing it up is not like a fat job, and there will be no oil or water.

Such a place where you can neither get promoted nor make a fortune, after a long time, who will remember?

No, maybe it will be a good place to distribute officials.

In the future, if any official is demoted, he can just throw it there and deal with the vulgar cursive script of mud legs all day long...

In Ziwei Palace, Li Gan had a smile on his face.

Thanks to so many days of foreshadowing, today's goal has been achieved.

As long as the Guangwen Division's shelf is built, Li Gan can slowly fill it with things to make it fuller.

Of course, it can't be done overnight. If Li Gan distributes newspapers all over the city now, it will definitely make the ministers jump.

This kind of thing has to be done slowly, and the secretary of the Guangwen Department must choose a reliable and capable person.

"Father, can you no longer pass on those little cursive scripts in the future?"

Lu Bu still looked a little bit disappointed, obviously he was a little bit reluctant to part with this errand.

"Don't worry, there are still opportunities in the future."

Li Qian said with a smile: "I will arrange you to do this kind of thing in the future."

After experiencing the events of recent days, he deeply realized how important it is to have a group of people who obey his orders and can do this kind of secret business.

Take the establishment of the Guangwen Department as an example, without the cooperation of Lu Bu and the old eunuch, it would have been impossible to complete.

If Li Qian himself brought it up at the court meeting, it would be too abrupt, and he would definitely be alerted by all the officials.

Now that there are those rumors, Guangwen Division is there to dispel the rumors in the city, which makes things logical.

Li Gan felt that the officials could also think clearly. With such a place, the people would vent and open their mouths, and the rumors would dissipate faster.

So they also tacitly agreed to the establishment of this so-called Guangwen Department, so that Li Qianyi could get his wish.

This time he tasted the sweetness of someone secretly doing things for him, and he didn't want to give up.

Subconsciously, Li Gan thought of the two famous spy agencies, Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

He looked at Lu Bu and the old eunuch in front of him, and kept nodding his head, feeling more and more that these two were good candidates.

"Father?"

Lu Bu was terrified by his eyes, and couldn't help but asked, "I don't know when I will spread cursive script again, and Bu has to make preparations in advance."

Li Qian came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's not spreading cursive script, but doing other things."

He stood up and looked at Lu Bu with a smile on his face: "Fengxian, don't worry, there will definitely be such things in the future."

Lu Bu was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you foster father!"

Li Qian smiled slightly: "But don't worry, I still have to think about it."

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are different from the Guangwen Division. This is the spy politics that civilian officials hate most, and even generals may not have a good impression of it.

It is much more difficult than Guangwen Division to launch this thing openly.

……

After the court meeting dispersed, the yamen in the palace began to operate rapidly.

In some special matters, the court always has rare efficiency.

The imperial edict of Zhongshu Province was quickly drafted, passed the instructions of the emperor and Menxia Province, and sent to Jingzhao Mansion.

Before noon, notices were posted in the city.

Under the blazing sun, many people with good deeds gathered in front of the Shenming Pavilion of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, watching the people and notices inside curiously.

"What's the matter? I heard that you won't be allowed to read cursive script in the future?"

"Really? Didn't the court care about this?"

"These officials are really full. Writing a small drama can hinder them?"

"What are you writing? Are you still not clear if others don't tell you..."

Not only in front of the yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture, but also in front of the yamen of Yongshou and Xing'an counties, many people were watching, and there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"Don't yell, don't yell, there seems to be some words underneath!"

"...The document can be submitted to the Guangwen Department, and private dissemination is strictly prohibited...After the Guangwen Department reviews and screens it, it will be submitted to the palace for a decision..."

"What do you mean? Where is Guangwen Division?"

"Can you still deliver it to the palace? So powerful?"

"What's so great? I'll hand it over to you, and won't let the official be beaten to death in the court?"

"That's right, this is to lie to you to deliver food, how stupid..."

Most common people don't have the ability to write those little cursive scripts, and most of those who are able to write don't really believe in it.

Who doesn't know that those officials who hate the cursive script are almost itching to hate it, if you get close to it now, isn't that just courting death?

Moreover, you have nothing to do when you are idle, so why write that gossip in that place?
Do people give you money, or give you food?

Do you have nothing to do when you are full?
And this kind of thing has always been spread in private, and there is no such thing as you writing gossip about the leader and handing it over to others.

However, with the matter of Guangwen Division, after all, it still distracted the attention of the people in the city, and made everyone's resentment a little bit less.

It's not that you are not allowed to write at all, it's just that you dare not go there yourself, who is to blame?

It's just that the most indispensable thing in this capital is bold people.

"I didn't say to write my name anyway, so why don't I dare to write it?"

A bold and unrestrained voice came from behind the crowd, which attracted the attention of the people.

A middle-aged man in a black silk robe with a round neck was carrying a bag of luggage and jumped out of the pony carriage.

"Where is this Guangwen Department? I still want to write about it."

The few people who watched the fun outside were stunned, and asked with a smile: "This friend looks like a dragon and phoenix at first glance, so he must be from an extraordinary background, right?"

The Juren smiled proudly: "No talent, I just came from Hanyin County and went to the capital to take the exam."

While praising him, everyone quietly moved away a few steps.

The man didn't care, just smiled, and strode towards the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion in front of him.

Seeing that he really dared to go up, many people lamented his courage and felt very puzzled at the same time.

Could it be that this person is really idle?

That person strode up to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and asked the two strong-class yamen guards, "Where is the Department of Guangwen on the notice?"

"I don't know." Both yamen servants shook their heads: "I don't know there is such a yamen."

"do not know?"

That person frowned, and pointed his finger in the direction of Shen Mingting: "The notice is clearly written, and you can write something and hand it to the Guangwen Department, why don't you know?"

The two yamen servants were originally like the gods of mourning, and the people who usually passed by Jingzhao Mansion would take a detour when they saw them.

It's just that I was questioned like this today, and I was so angry that my teeth itch for a moment.

But this person in front of him is a juren, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, once it gets on you, it is disgusting than brown sugar, and you will have to stick a piece of your flesh before you give up.

One of the yamen servants could only suppress his annoyance and said: "We really don't know, you should ask elsewhere."

"The notice posted by your Jingzhao Mansion asked me to ask someone else instead?"

That Juren stared at these yamen servants with beard and beard, but he also seemed to know that these little officials were difficult to deal with, so he didn't take any further drastic actions, but turned around and went back cursing.

"It's unlucky..."

The people here looked curiously at him who had returned angrily, and they didn't speak out in surprise until Juren explained.

"They don't know about Guangwen Division either?"

"It's strange to say that I grew up in the capital since I was a child, and I have never heard of the Guangwen Department?"

"Who knows? Did the government use this thing to fool us..."

Although only a few people dared to go to the so-called Guangwen Department, this matter replaced the cursive script and became a hot topic of conversation among the people in the city.

Li Gan, who was in the imperial city, was also having a headache over this matter.

"Are there only a few crooked melons and dates left in the Imperial Academy?" Li Qian looked helplessly at the list sent by the official department in front of him.

Wu Shenglan Dahan below, even if this is true, you can't say that!

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, the academy's talents have withered, and some of them are out of date..."

Li Gan sighed lightly, and understood what he said.

In the past, the Hanlin Academy was also brilliant for a long time.

But since Li Qian's grandfather Emperor Yingzong, all this has changed.

The foundation of the Hanlin Academy's prosperity lies in the emperor's lecture system. They are responsible for teaching the crown prince of the East Palace and giving lectures to the emperor, that is, lectures.

It is difficult for such a department not to be strong.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, how could he treat his teacher badly?
As a result, the Hanlin Academy gradually developed into a very noble yamen, and there were many prime ministers and ministers.

But then this situation gradually changed, and the reason was still the emperor.

The Emperor Yingzong was not a worry-free master when he was the crown prince. Li Qian also read about the old man's deeds in books, and I have to say that he knew how to play more than himself.

When he was in the East Palace, he rejected the old academics of the Hanlin Academy very much, and when he became the emperor, he even stopped the daily lectures.

In other words, this guy not only cut classes every day, but also fired the teacher directly.

And Li Gan's father, Emperor Mu Zong, behaved exactly the same as the above one, and he knew at a glance that they were father and son.

When it comes to Li Gan... It can only be said that the genes of the three generations of grandparents are very strong, and he did the same thing again.

With the efforts of three successive generations, the Hanlin Academy has gradually fallen from an incomparably noble yamen to its current status as a dog.

In fact, in Li Qian’s view, the example of the decline of the Imperial Academy is particularly applicable to the “power center theory.”

The emperor is the center of power, and whoever is closer to the emperor can grasp more power.

Of course, that was the situation in the past, and it has long been different now.

The center of power has long been dispersed from the emperor.

But as long as Li Gan is willing to work hard, the power will gradually return to him. After all, the emperor is the rightful lord of the people...

Wu Shenglan below looked at His Majesty the Emperor with an uncertain expression, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and couldn't help explaining:
"Your Majesty, the staff of the Guangwen Department is the eighth rank, and the Ministry of Officials cannot demote people of the sixth and seventh ranks to the Guangwen Department for no reason."

"In the Imperial Academy, the eighth-rank officials only have Hanlin doctors and classics, and the ninth-rank officials only have Hanlin Shishu and Hanlin Daizhao. So there are not too many people to choose from."

Now the Hanlin Academy is dead, but it still has a noble reputation.

But in a place like the Guangwen Division... if you go there, you will definitely have to deal with mud-legged people every day, and your reputation of being noble will be gone.

So no one is willing to give up the only advantage of the Hanlin Academy and run to the newly established Guangwen Department.

Li Gan rubbed his brows: "I know, but these people..."

He flipped through the information of these people, feeling a little helpless.

Among them are either nerds who have been in the Imperial Academy for many years, or more than 60-year-old old men who are about to retire. How can such people be used?

Wu Shenglan said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, you may wish to use it with someone first, and then wait a few months until next year's new academicians come out, and then choose one of them to serve as the Secretary of the Guangwen Department."

"Those Scholars don't have high vision. For such an official, there must be a lot of people who are willing to go."

Li Qian thought about it for a moment.

It's more than October now, and the palace test will be held in April next year, which means... there is still half a year left?
After deliberating for a while, Li Gan said, "Then choose one of these people first."

There is no way, he said at the court meeting that he would be elected in the Hanlin Academy, and now he can't just turn his head and deny it.

Moreover, half a year is enough time for the ministers to get used to the Department of Public Information. When the time comes, they should be able to accept any newspapers they publish... right?

"Wu Qing's family, who do you think is more suitable?" Li Qian looked at Wu Shenglan.

Wu Xinglan laughed and said to Li Gan: "Your Majesty, I think that Chang Zhi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is a decent man with a sense of restraint, and he may be able to help your Majesty manage the Guangwen Department."

Li Gan flipped through the stack of documents in his hand, and soon found this person named Chang Zhi.

"Chang Zhi, from Ruyin, aged 67..."

Li Gan looked at it for a while, then raised his head in confusion, and looked at Wu Shenglan: "I don't know what is so special about this person?"

Why don't you pick someone young and powerful?
Wu Shenglan hastily explained: "Your Majesty, although Chang Zhi is an old man, he is talented, knowledgeable, upright, and has a certain bearing when he encounters problems."

"If this person is in charge of the Guangwen Department, maybe he won't achieve great things, but he won't make any big mistakes. It's the most stable."

"Furthermore, the Guangwen Department is also a yamen for contact with the common people. If an experienced person is chosen to preside over it, the common people will respect it even more..."

Li Gan listened for a while, and was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect such a way.

What Wu Shenglan said in his words means that all the great leaders have the fine thought and tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young.

It doesn't matter how good Chang Zhi's reputation is, as long as he doesn't do evil and is not notorious, the people who go to deliver documents will not be too rude to him for the sake of the old man. Not too loud either.

In this way, many unnecessary disputes can be avoided.

Li Qian nodded lightly, this seems to be feasible?
"Okay, since Wu Qing's family has said so, then follow your opinion."

"Transfer Chang Zhi to the Guangwen Department as the secretary. As for the two ministers, we must choose young and strong people. It's okay to do some physical work for the secretary."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Shenglan responded immediately.

Li Gan went on to ask: "Have you chosen where Guangwen's Yamen is located?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the choice has been made."

Wu Shenglan immediately said: "The minister discussed with the Secretary of the General Administration and is going to put it at the south gate of the imperial city, next to the Secretary of the General Administration."

"Let the Secretary of General Administration free up a few value rooms for the Department of Guangwen."

Li Qian thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Not right."

"The Department of General Administration received the memorials of the officials, so it is natural to put them in the south of the imperial city, but the Department of Guangwen received the articles of the common people, so how can they be placed in the imperial city? Which common people can pass them in?"

Wu Shenglan cupped her hands in admiration: "Your Majesty is wise and considerate, and I never thought of this."

Li Gan would not be fooled by this kind of circus.

It is unlikely that Wu Shenglan didn't think of this. This guy probably thought of it a long time ago, but he just said that on purpose.

Leaving a very obvious mistake and handing it over to the boss to correct it, leaving a little room for improvement and giving the boss a sense of accomplishment, this guy is really...

An old professional.

Li Gan ignored this, but continued to ask: "Can you let the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion vacate a space outside? First, put the Yamen of Guangwen Division there."

"All the miscellaneous tasks and defense work in Guangwen's yamen are all taken care of by the yamen servants of Jingzhaofu's yamen."

Wu Shenglan immediately cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"The minister will go back and discuss with the Jingzhao Mansion."

"Okay." Li Gan nodded: "If they still have questions, let Wang Lingyin come and find me."

"Also, if Chang Zhi is willing to be the secretary of the Guangwen Department, let him come to see me before taking office."

The nature of this yamen is special, so I still have to pay attention to it.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Shenglan replied again: "Chang Zhinian will retire, and I am willing to share your worries in the last few years."

He had already realized from Li Gan's words that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to value the Yamen of Guangwen Division very much.

In this case, it cannot be the same as the previous plan.

Li Gan was taken aback for a moment, and could hear some meaning from Wu Shenglan's last words.

However, he didn't say much, but let Wu Shenglan resign.

It has to be said that with Li Gan's instructions, the efficiency of the Ministry of Officials is quite fast, and there is no objection from the Jingzhao Mansion.

It's just a few rooms and a few government servants doing miscellaneous errands, it's nothing to them, and it will be done soon.

At the same time, Li Qian's first Guangwen Secretary also came to him.

"Chen Hanlin classics are often ranked, see Your Majesty."

It was the first time that a green-robed official entered Li Gan's political affairs hall, which made him lose his mind for a moment.

This person has an old face, white hair and white beard, and a slightly stooped back, but his body is full of energy, his eyes are bright, and he is not the kind of old person who can't move.

This also made Li Gan secretly relieved, and it was impossible for Wu Shenglan to recommend such unreliable people to herself.

"Changqing's family, please get up."

Out of respect for the old man, Li Qian also shouted: "Big companion, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chang Zhi was obviously a little surprised. He thanked him first, and then sat down on the round stool.

"Changqing's family." Li Gan looked at him with a smile: "I will be promoted to the Secretary of Guangwen in the future, so don't call yourself the Imperial Academy classics."

The classics of the Imperial Academy are from the eighth rank, while Guangwen Siwu is an official of the eighth rank, so it is appropriate to be promoted.

It's just that Li Gan knows one thing and doesn't know the other. The rank of Beijing officials is higher than that of foreign officials. However, when the Hanlin Academy was at its peak, the ranks of officials in the Imperial Academy were even higher than those of Beijing officials.

The sixth-rank Hanlin attendant reads as an official lecturer, and he dares to challenge the sixth-rank servant of the third rank.

So, after hearing Li Gan's words, Chang Zhi sighed insignificantly, and a hint of loneliness or helplessness flashed across his brows.

"Your Majesty, I'm just useless. I have studied in the Imperial Academy for many years, and all I have come into contact with is a subset of classics and history. I only talk about wars on paper, and I haven't had much interaction with the common people."

"Now I have taken up this important task rashly, lest I fail the holy grace and fail to handle the errand of the Guangwen Division."

Li Gan was startled when he heard this, but gave him a high look.

Regardless of his abilities, he can recognize his own shortcomings, and having this kind of self-knowledge is enough to make Li Gan treat him differently.

In fact, this is also a common problem of most so-called "noble" officials today.

He can only command with his mouth, but he is really messed up when he does things.

"It's okay."

Now that Li Gan has called people over, how could he still act hesitantly?

He has already weighed the pros and cons of Chang Zhi.

"Changqing's family, you don't have to worry too much."

Li Qian said with a smile: "Wu Butang recommended you to me before, and I read your resume over the years, and I know that there are such talents as the Changqing family in the Imperial Academy."

"There are many people who used to be Qing noble officials and then did well in the court. For example, Li Gefei, the priest of the shrine, who used to be a doctor of imperial studies in the Imperial Academy, is still doing the errands of the Ministry of Rites very well."

"Today's errand for the Guangwen Division is just an experience. After Changqing's family is proficient in government affairs, I will make arrangements."

Of course, the premise is that you are doing well.

Chang Zhi didn't eat the big cake drawn by Li Gan, but said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I have gradually become unwell in recent years, and I am afraid that I can no longer hold important positions."

"I just want to serve His Majesty for a few more years, so I beg for a useless skeleton to return home."

Normally, the courtiers of Dagan are 70 years old.

There are a lot of officials who can't keep going, or who don't want to keep going, and they start their careers early. There are also many officials who are doing very well, and they are very popular.

Li Gan shook his head with a smile, and said politely to him: "Changqing's family is still in good health! If there is any discomfort, I will arrange for someone from the Tai Hospital to take a look at it for you."

Chang Zhi smiled wryly, he had never been treated like this after being an official all his life, how could he be remembered when he became an official.

He was about to speak again, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the Political Affairs Hall.

"Your Majesty, the good news from the Kingdom of Wu has arrived!" The old eunuch's characteristic duck voice came from afar.

(End of this chapter)
