Dao fruit.

According to the sound, the target of the entry was two middle-aged officials, who were standing in a part of the courtyard, arguing.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in all government offices in the capital, even the Imperial Academy is no exception. Generally, officials of the same level or equal power are about to meet with the superiors and state things, but when the opinions are not unified, they will do so. will happen.

However, when the officials of other government offices were arguing, what was involved was not a huge amount of luck, but what the two officials were arguing about right now was not simple.

Qiu Yan only took a rough look, and he could vaguely see the ups and downs and circulation of the luck on the heads of the two, not only involving the courtyard of the Privy Council, but also the Xingjing luck and the reversal of the dragon's qi.

"After all, it is the central organization, one of the two governments, the place where the prime minister sits, and the government orders and military orders are mixed. It involves a lot, it is related to the changes in the world, and it coincides with the time of the national war. Isn't it just right for the Privy Council to be in charge of the army?" In charge of the national fortune for a while? And the officials, every move, every word and deed, constitute the decision-making will of the entire Privy Council, and indirectly affect the fate of the entire dynasty..."

As soon as he thought about it, Qiu Yan could already see why the dispute between the two officials would bring about such a huge change in luck, and at the same time, he became a little interested in what the two said.

"Enemy chieftain? Beheading? It sounds like it should be related to the war in the north. The people in the Central Plains and the general officials only know that the war is not going well and the situation cannot be opened. They don't know the specific details, but What these two officials talked about is obviously more in-depth..."

Qiu Yan was not surprised at this point. This military and political matter was originally under the control of the Privy Council. If they didn't even know the progress of the war here, it would be too scary, indicating that the imperial court had lost control of the army.

"However, this kind of military situation. Such a grandiose quarrel here is also somewhat contrived, as if it was done deliberately..." Looking at the appearance of the two, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes.I already have a rough guess in my heart.

At this time, he also walked into the courtyard. The two people who were arguing seemed to have heard footsteps, so they stopped talking, showing a little guard, and after seeing Qiu Yan's appearance, they stepped forward to salute. Called the next official.

It turned out that even this individual was actually an official of the Chengzhi Division.One is called Zhang Hai, and the other is named Qi Jinchan, and their positions are Deputy Privy Councilor and Privy Councilor Chengzhi respectively. In terms of rank, the former one is the same as Qiu Yan's Privy Councilor.It is also from the fifth rank, and another privy decree is the sixth rank.

However, in a place like the Privy Council, the emphasis is on power management, and the level of rank is not very important. As long as the difference is not too large, it is not uncommon to argue for reason.Even, if the means are not good, it is not a surprise that the people below are lifted up.

"I have seen Chengzhi..."

According to the etiquette, the two greeted Qiu Yan and led him to the Si Ya.According to the words of the two, they waited here specially to welcome Qiu Yan.

The Privy Council occupies a large area, and the three of them walked through a small garden.While talking, it was just what the two of them said earlier about military affairs, but they didn't mention it at all, as if they were doing business.

This kind of behavior is like saying half of what you said, and not saying the rest. Anyone who encounters it will feel like a cat's claw, and the initiative has been mastered invisibly.

But Qiu Yan never mentioned it, and occasionally asked a few questions, all of which were related to this office.

Regarding this, Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan both sneered in their hearts, but they were enthusiastic on the surface.

As he walked, Qiu Yan saw a well along the way, the mouth of the well seemed to be dense, but he couldn't see it when he looked closely, and he felt a little bit in his heart, when he got to the gate of the Si Yamen of the Chengzhi Division, above the gate, luck was like a futon , floating and heavy, but not falling, like a castle in the air, the foundation is not stable.

"interesting……"

Qiu Yan said a word silently in his heart, and a subordinate official came out, and first saluted Liu and Qi, and after they were introduced, he acted as if he knew Qiu Yan's identity, and then saluted.

However, how could they hide their small thoughts from Qiu Yan, not to mention anything else, with his official uniform on his body, would a subordinate official who eats public food not recognize his boss's clothes?

"This is a deliberate appearance. It seems that Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan deliberately want to hold me empty, so the futon in front of the door has no roots. However, it is not surprising that I came by air. This privy secretary Both of them were supposed to be fighting for the position of the decree, and if they both missed it, it was inevitable that they would share the same hatred. Matters involving specific power and treatment cannot be offset by fame and popularity alone. Only then can you experience the mystery of central air luck."

Right now, Qiu Yan's reputation, popularity, power, and holy family are all incomparable for a moment. From the perspective of others, such a person should be invincible no matter where he goes. worship.

But this can only be a fantasy that exists in the heart, and when it falls into reality, it is completely different.

If there were no interests involved, but pure academics, theories, visits, etc., even if Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan met Qiu Yan, they must have treated each other with courtesy and made efforts to make friends, but the current matter involved interests.

Even ordinary people may have a good impression and admiration for some well-known big figures with ability, background and contribution, but if this big man suddenly comes to you, occupies your house, robs you Relatives, embezzling your property, even if it is a commoner, the attitude towards this person will inevitably change, and there will be extreme thoughts, regardless of other things.

This is the case with Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan. In the officialdom, power, connections, rank, political achievements, etc. are the foundation of standing. A person’s lifespan is limited, and he has worked hard for many years just to make further progress, and he is about to get what he wants. But Cheng Yaojin came out, he must be furious, a little reputation, how can they let them quit?

Taking a step back, what the two of them are doing now is not to cut off Qiu Yan's official career, on the contrary, if they succeed in evading Qiu Yan's power, they will definitely confess Qiu Yan, and there is no mistake in the etiquette system .

The power of officials is actually reflected in the power to command others. Regardless of whether Qiu Yan is emptied or not, it is not the officials themselves who are in charge of affairs. They are just people who make up their minds and issue orders.

However, there is a lot of truth behind who issued this order. In the eyes of outsiders, if Qiu Yan is dismissed, it can only be said that his knowledge and military ability are amazing, but he is not good at controlling people. Promotion will also develop towards the academic aspect, otherwise, it is not a good thing for the country to let a person who is not good at controlling others occupy a high position.

This point is actually the result of self-purification and competition in the officialdom. Even if you have mastered the promotion of your subordinates, if your evaluation and image are low, you may not be able to exert your advantages.

There is a folk saying that "new officials take office with three fires". Most people think that it is to establish prestige. In fact, the main thing is to show power and means to deter subordinate officials and subordinates. Only when they show a certain ability can people Knowing the strength, getting the power and being recognized for the position.

It takes a process to become an officer until your subordinates believe you are an officer.

Once it's done, you will be able to enter certain circles if you enjoy the official luck you deserve.

Don't underestimate circles, officialdom is composed of circles, and there are various subdivisions, a large circle of civil servants, a large circle of military officials, and a large circle of officials.

There are also subdivisions in this circle, such as the civil official circle, there are Jinshi circle, grace circle, special call circle, royal family circle, princeling circle, academic circle, literary circle and so on.

Officials in various circles have different backgrounds, abilities, and characters, and their status is also different. There are even class confrontations between them. If they accidentally go to the wrong circle, it will even affect the entire official career.

On the other hand, this kind of circle formed by gathering officials of similar quality is itself a manifestation of power and power. For one thing, a single official may encounter obstacles and hinder each other. With the power of the circle, there will be no disadvantages.

From this point of view, the old party and the new party themselves are two huge circles. As the leaders of the two parties, Ma Yang and Wang Fu often make decisions that are not their own choices, but reflect the will of the entire circle.

Qiu Yan has the marks of many circles on him, and he can be accepted by many circles when he develops. However, he used to live in the Imperial Academy, giving people a sense of aloofness. The establishment of such an image created a little gap between him and the civil servant circle.

In the Privy Council, although they are in charge of the military and government, almost all of them are civil servants, and coupled with the airborne power struggle, it is difficult for people to move forward.

"The emperor asked me to come here, presumably there is also the idea of ​​taking the school exam. I came from outside, and it is not easy to integrate into the circle. According to the normal way of thinking, it should be to win over and divide, and win over some specific officials, and then Compete with Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan to buy time, and then slowly develop your power. Once you have a firm foothold, you will strike with a thunderbolt to frighten the officials, but..."

At this moment, Qiu Yan, under the leadership of Liu and Qi, came to the main hall of the Si Ya, sat behind the hall case, perched on top, overlooking all the officials, while Zhang Hai led the planners, editors, etc. People, see you together.

With Qiu Yan's current state, one can know one's heart by observing one's qi, one can see that among the officials present, all of them have deflected luck, and most of them are entangled with Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan, which shows that they are the two's confidantes, and there are also people who circulate outside. , It is obvious that it is connected with this Privy Council official, and there are even more uncertain ones. They are speculators, sitting on the fence and the like, ready to watch the fire from the other side, please both sides, and obtain benefits.

There are only one or two people who are devoted to themselves.

According to the normal procedure, Qiu Yan should win over those two first, then win over the fence-riding faction, and then proceed step by step, but...

"I didn't come here to intrigue, and flesh and blood entered the world, and I didn't fight for power. How can I be so worried? If it's not easy to integrate into any circle or power, you might as well smash it to pieces and rebuild it. It will be a hidden danger at that time. Nothing at all, the government order is smooth!"

After thinking up to this point, Qiu Yan didn't hesitate, looked at the officials and officials under his rank, and said, "Bring all the official duties to me!"

Thanks to "g" for the monthly ticket!
