Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 46 What is a surprise!
  Happy and sad at the same time.

Su Guiyuan didn't know what happened in Wenhua Hall.

Although there was his son's analysis last night, after this morning's troubles, Su Guiyuan once again realized the heavy weight of the prime minister in the hearts of all officials.

Just like now, wherever he goes, he is no longer like before. Anyone who sees him will come up to chat with him. He is a new official in the officialdom, he is getting ahead, and he is rising to the top...

Being immersed in this atmosphere these past few days, Su Guiyuan felt refreshed every morning when he went to the Baochao Lift Office, and his back could not help but straighten a lot.

But now.

Not to mention going back to the embarrassing situation before where no one said hello.

At this moment, he was secretly sighing, ridiculing, saying that he couldn't support the wall, that he would be useless if he gave you a chance, etc., which made Su Guiyuan feel like a mountain of pressure for a moment.

"Young man, get familiar with it. This is officialdom."

Suddenly, just as Su Guiyuan fell into silence, an old voice sounded nearby.

Su Guiyuan turned around and saw an old man with white hair but full of energy.

After seeing his face clearly, he was immediately shocked.

"Meet the Minister!"

"Haha, I am no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now I am just an old man who goes to the Ministry of Revenue to complete the final procedures." The person who came was none other than the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Lifu.

Su Guiyuan once worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so of course he recognized him, but he had no chance to say hello before, but he didn't expect the other party to recognize him.

As if he guessed what he was thinking, Wang Lifu said with a smile: "I would like to thank you for the empty seal, and even more thank you to that boy from your family. Otherwise, I will not leave the show calmly."

Su Guiyuan hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't dare to take credit as a low-ranking official."

Although the other party resigned from the post of Minister, Su Guiyuan obviously did not dare to treat him as an ordinary old man.

After all, in the officialdom, you come and go, who can tell?
  The connections alone are not something he can underestimate.

"Haha, don't be modest. I have been with His Majesty for many years. I guessed from that court meeting that things would not end so easily."

"Since I have accepted the favor, I have to give you a few words of warning. This can be regarded as my way of being an official over the years."

"Please tell me..." Su Guiyuan said quickly.

But Wang Lifu looked at the palace city, and then at the government offices of the six ministries of the country and the governor's office of the fifth army.

Then he sighed:

"You see, a few days ago you were lucky. You survived the catastrophe, but luck came later. Everyone in the officialdom said that you were very lucky, so you have to make friends..."

"If you offend the Prime Minister today, everyone will be afraid of you, lest you risk the suspicion of officials like Prime Minister Hu!"

"This is all normal."

"What I want to tell you is... in this officialdom, you have to rely on yourself."

"Today there are towering trees that provide shade for them, but in the future some people will dislike that tree and cut it down. Then those who provide shade under it will suffer."

"So, today's difficulties may not be a blessing for tomorrow."

Su Guiyuan only felt that he had some enlightenment and quickly said: "Be taught!"

"Haha," Wang Lifu smiled again and patted Su Guiyuan on the shoulder.

"In this officialdom, I never envy those who walk fast, but I envy those who walk steadily step by step..."

"That boy in your family is so good!"

"We have been in the government and the public for so many years, and we have never seen the Holy Emperor change his mind because of an outsider. This just shows that although he is young, his vision is precise, and even the Holy Emperor has to weigh the pros and cons and change his choice."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Su Guiyuan.

"I wonder when your promotion banquet will be held. Can I also go there and get acquainted with it?"

Su Guiyuan was flattered, "This... I'm afraid it won't be possible."

"It needs to be done! It needs to be done!"

Wang Lifu said with a smile: "Let's book it in seven days. On a good day, find the location and let me know. I should be still in the capital recently."

With that said, he ignored Su Guiyuan and walked straight forward.

Only the sound of laughter resounded!

"Seven days later, congratulations on Su Guiyuan's promotion!"

Hearing this, people around him looked at him like he was a fool.

One will retire and return home, while the other will offend the prime minister and obviously cannot stay any longer.

Still celebrating your promotion?
  Come home and be happy!
  ……

Uh?
  Su Guiyuan scratched his head when he saw the elderly minister acting like this, puzzled.

The minister of a country, the real top official in the officialdom, congratulates himself on his promotion. He has the illusion of being in a dream.

But more importantly, it is the helplessness of the current reality!
  Finally, we came all the way to the Baochao Prosecution Department.

Just as he thought, the matter that offended the prime minister had been spread, and no one would give him a good look anymore.

at this time!

Cui Jin walked over slowly and sneered:

"Su Tiju, after all, the Prime Minister still sympathizes with the difficulties of the people below. Look... you want the Holy Seal and the approval document from the Ministry of Education!"

"It's here now!"

"Please pick up your big seal and put a cover on it, so that the brothers below can start working and eat."

Su Guiyuan was stunned and looked at the faces of everyone around him, with increasingly intense sneers.

Really arrived?
  His eyes were complicated, just as his son had guessed, were they telling the truth? The news that he had offended the Prime Minister just a few days after taking office is probably completely confirmed.

"Su Tiju, why are you still standing there? If you take out your treasure seal, you won't give the Prime Minister face, and you won't even give the Holy Emperor the face, right?"

"Yes, our Su Tiju is aboveboard and enforces the law impartially. We really don't take our suffering seriously. What people value most is the rules, but now that the rules are up, there is no need for Su Tiju to embarrass us, right?"

Below, the person in charge of Baochao's office said something to each other, but they didn't take Su Guiyuan seriously at all.

Su Guiyuan didn't say a word, but his mood became more and more complicated. "I see, if you are looking for trouble in the future, you should go to Deputy Cui to raise matters. That is to say, Deputy Cui will take us brothers seriously. After all, Su Tiju will only enforce the law impartially and act according to the rules."

"What's Deputy Cui's promotion? That's Cui's promotion! I'm afraid someone won't be able to stay here long."

The more those people talked, the more they went too far, which even made Su Guiyuan feel aggrieved.

"In my opinion, school inspection is more suitable for Su Tiju. Although the official position is small, it plays a big role. A meticulous person like Su Tiju is suitable for this position."

"I heard that Brother Su also wants to put his son into Guozixue? That's not necessary, right? There's no place to study other than reading. Didn't the children promoted by Vice Cui just find a private school?"

"Can Su Tiju afford the tuition for private school?"

"Hahaha……"

A group of people burst into festive laughter.

Su Guiyuan said nothing, just looked at everyone coldly.

At this time.

Even Cui Jin couldn't help but smile, "Brother Su, in fact, they are right. This examination is still not suitable for you. I still like Brother Su who used to be the inspector at the Zhaomo Institute!"

"At that time, Brother Su didn't have as much authority as he does now!"

Su Guiyuan clenched his fist.

Despite the old minister's warning before, now, he still felt inexplicably angry.

"Brother Su is angry? Come on, Brother Su is generous. Even if he is angry, he still has to put your treasure seal on this..."

Cui Jin was teasing with everyone.

suddenly……

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Everyone turned their heads quickly and were shocked.

Where did the imperial edict come from?
  But when I really saw that only the palace servant could lead the little eunuch in a hurry.

They hurriedly knelt in the direction of the door. The people who had been laughing just now were like panicked rabbits, kneeling on the ground one by one, trembling with fear.

After all, this Baochao Department has never received an imperial edict since its establishment!

"Su Guiyuan accepts the order!"

To everyone's great astonishment, soon, the eunuch who announced the decree stepped through the door and shouted in a loud voice. Everyone was stunned and knelt on the ground. Only their peripheral vision became more and more astonished.

Su Guiyuan was still in shock. Hearing this, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order.

"The minister accepts the order!"

"I once said: if any virtuous person from the countryside should be admitted to the main gate of the country, the Su family still has a Qilin son. I am afraid that the dynasty will lose its virtuous people, so I will grant permission for his son to enter the main hall..."

"I hope you will become a great talent in the future and live up to my expectations!"

Swish!
  In an instant, everyone raised their heads and could hear a pin drop.

Su Guiyuan was shocked and surprised. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out...

This...is this true?
  Main hall! ?

He was first frightened, then confused, and finally so surprised that he burst into tears.

In just a few days, he has experienced the most tragic ups and downs in the world.

I thought I was about to die when I fell into the trough, but instead of trying to survive in a hurry, I was promoted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences!
  I thought my official career would be smooth, but it turned out to be bumpy and difficult. I offended the prime minister and even had no choice but to lose my son's future...

I thought I would be lonely, but now...

Su Guiyuan was so happy that he couldn't even react until the waiter looked at him.

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

"I...I accept the order!"

Su Guiyuan shouted loudly, and waited until he got the imperial edict and got up again.

He glanced around, his eyes already cold.

And this moment.

Everyone who was mocking Su Guiyuan just now looked left and right, terrified!
  Just then.

The waiter seemed to be used to this scene.

He smiled and immediately looked at Su Guiyuan, "There is one thing that the Holy Father asked you to do. Come with me."

With that said, he walked straight ahead and came to the lobby.

When he saw the approval document falling on the table, he smiled.

"It just so happened that the seal was stamped."

Su Guiyuan was still holding the imperial edict in his hand and was overjoyed.

Hearing this, he quickly picked up the big seal, first looked through the approval documents, and realized that everything was normal, even the seal was behind.

Never hesitate again.

With a "pop!" sound, the treasure seal fell on it.

Seeing this, the waiter smiled slightly.

"Also, stamp this seal again..."

As he spoke, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve, spread it out, and dropped it on the table.

"Build it..."

Su Guiyuan took a cursory glance and clenched the hand holding Da Yin suddenly.

He raised his head in surprise.

But my heart is like a drum, thumping!
