Ji Tang

Chapter 738 Official’s Life
When I arrived at the government office where Zhongshu Province was located, I met Du Ruhui in a hurry.

"What is Prime Minister Du doing? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Song asked curiously.

But Du Ruhui's next move made Ji Song dumbfounded.

Du Ruhui turned around and left, covering his face with his sleeves, not giving Ji Song a chance to speak.

"Alas, why are you leaving!"

Ji Song quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, wondering: "I said Du Xiang, why are you hiding when you see me?"

Du Ruhui put down his sleeves, his face full of embarrassment and shame!

"I knew I couldn't escape this. What do you want to do? I was the one who ordered my sister to go there. She was going to be beaten and scolded. You see what she's going to do!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like he was ready to be beaten and scolded, which made Ji Song dumbfounded!

It turns out that this is what happened. When Du was instructed to ask Xue Wanche to come home to ask for the copy of "Dongshan Shou Zha", Lao Du didn't mention it and almost forgot about it.

He didn't ask Xie Lian what he did after that.

Du Ruhui waited for a long time, but saw no movement. He quickly opened his eyes, only to find that Ji Song had disappeared.

He was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

This incident has always made him afraid to see Ji Song. Whenever he encounters him, he hides away whenever he can. Anyway, he just doesn't meet.

He was just worried that Ji Song would open his mouth to ridicule him, but he didn't expect it to happen anytime after they met?
"Du Xiang, Du Xiang?"

A call woke him up, and he saw an official calling him.

"Oh, you called me?"

The chief was wondering, what happened today?All of them were chattering.

"Prime Minister Du, just now Marquis Hao asked his subordinate to tell you something."

Du Ruhui was stunned and said quickly: "What are you talking about? Say it quickly!"

"The Marquis said that he had forgotten about it a long time ago. If you have any books you like, just go to him directly."

"Gone?"

"Gone!"

Du Ruhui waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

"Alas, I am trying to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!"

The things that I have been worrying about all day long have been forgotten. I am a villain in vain!

Thinking about it, the collection of books in the Marquis Mansion was recognized by the Tang Dynasty.As long as someone comes to borrow a book, he will never stop him. As long as the book is not damaged, he is free to do anything else!
If I had gone to ask for it in person, even if I didn't get the original copy, there would still be no problem with the handwritten copy.But now that I have almost lost my life, people are still concerned about their own face.

Ji Song turned around and forgot about what had just happened. The old man only had this hobby, and if the commemorative significance of the book was not greater than the actual significance, he would not have cared about it.

Now Lao Du is avoiding him and leaving. He didn't speak just now because he was worried about Lao Du being embarrassed.Then he sent a message to express that he didn't care anymore.

But it also shows that I am not a fool. As long as it is a normal way, I will not refuse to give.

When I arrived at the official office, I saw the old man busy when he entered the door.

He was not in a hurry, so he sat down and observed the layout of the room.

I rarely come here. Every time I come, I come and go in a hurry.Basically, they just turned around and left after finishing their work, without even observing them carefully.But now I look closely and realize that the conditions here are really good.

Although it is not as big as the main hall of the inner palace, it is not small either.Thinking about it, after all, it was the most important administrative department of the Tang Dynasty. It would not be justified if it was too simple.

The old room is also very large. There are bookshelves in the room, and many documents are placed on them by categories.

Seeing the marks on it, you know that it has been read frequently.

He took out a book and opened it. It turned out to be the life and achievements of a certain official.As well as the court's evaluation of this official, which is very detailed.

Seeing this, he felt a little curious.

I am now considered a core official of the Tang Dynasty, but I don’t know where my documents are, so how do I evaluate myself?
People are often like this. They say they don't care about others' evaluation of themselves, but they feel itchy in their hearts.The opportunity is right in front of you now, there is no chance to miss it.

After all, this is the court's evaluation of an official, and it is also the most pertinent evaluation.If I leave one day, the evaluation here will also be recorded in history books. It would be a lie to say that I am not curious.

"Stop looking for it. All the documents for officials of the third rank and above are with your Majesty. Don't look around here."

Fang Xuanling appeared behind Ji Song at some unknown time and first arranged the documents he had just turned over neatly.Then he said angrily: "You don't have any rules. Are you flipping through the documents here?"

"If it were anyone else, I would have to punish him for stealing court secrets!"

Ji Song touched his nose in embarrassment. After being caught in action, he finally understood Lao Du's embarrassment.

But he was so thick-skinned, so he asked shyly: "Does the Prime Minister know how they evaluate me?"

Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes and said seriously: "Ji Song, he became an official in the second year of Zhenguan. His face is as thick as the city wall of Chang'an, and his heart is cunning."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask if it's okay. There's no need to arrange it for me like this!" Ji Song quickly stopped the old man's tirade.

"Hey, you also know that I am setting you up! You can't even check His Majesty's daily notes, but you can check your comments by yourself? Who gave you the face?"

"The official's life and the court's evaluation of him are considered the secrets of the court. Apart from His Majesty and a few people, who is qualified to view it?"

"Oh, by the way. His Majesty wrote your evaluation himself, and everything you did was recorded by His Majesty. If you have the guts, can you ask yourself?"

Ji Song's face turned green when he heard this, did the emperor write to himself?It's weird that this fucking guy has nice things to say.

He looked a little hesitant, wondering if he should go to the palace to flatter the emperor and ask him to write a better story about his life?
It would be bad if after his death, Li Shimin's attitude toward him would be anything like a tiger or a wolf.

By then, I won’t be here anyway, so I won’t be able to find anyone to argue with me.

"You kid, don't make any crooked ideas!"

Seeing Ji Song's changing expression, Fang Xuanling knew that this guy didn't have any good intentions.

This kid is also brave. If he really does something, he will be implicated, so he warned.

"No way. I just wonder if I can reflect on myself in the future and make my life more glorious." Ji Song denied it.

Fang Xuanling sneered and said: "It's still glorious. If you were under other emperors, you would have died a long time ago. That means His Majesty is generous and doesn't care about you. If you can leave a few words in the history books, you can snicker." Bar!"

Ji Song was furious, but after thinking of something, he calmly said: "Well, you said that I have reached my age and established myself. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

"How many years older are you than the boy? Maybe your life is being written by me or my disciples. What should I do when the time comes?" After he finished speaking, he sat down and drank tea leisurely.

"you dare!"

Fang Xuanling was furious and could be felt throughout the three provinces. It was unknown who had made the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty angry, so everyone's actions became more cautious.
