Chapter 17: Shame on the Ministry of Rites!
Shen Zhui frowned when he heard the young official's words.
According to the grades, Wei Wenhe is from the fifth grade, while the young official is just a junior official from the sixth grade, spanning two levels in between.
But not only did he not have any respect for Wei Wenhe, the superior official, but he also barged in directly. It can be said that he did not take Wei Wenhe into consideration at all!
"I didn't expect Brother Wen He's situation to be so bad. The person in charge of the guest house is really too much." A trace of anger flashed in Shen Zhui's eyes.
How arrogant Wei Wenhe was at the beginning, showing no mercy to the local powerful! He arbitrarily eradicated the two major families under a lot of pressure, and even sent himself into the Wu'an Army under the embarrassment from above.
When the ancestral clan was destroyed and the temple abandoned, among the hundreds of counties in Liangzhou, Wei Wenhe was the only one to successfully implement the national policy. Even Yu Ziqi did not have the courage and courage of Wei Wenhe.
Just because the family failed in the struggle in the court, it was affected to the point where even a mere petty official could embarrass him. No wonder he has a temperament of vicissitudes of life.
Something had to be done for the River Welwyn. This was what Shen Zhui was thinking.
Immediately, Shen Zhui turned around from his seat and locked eyes with the young official.
"stop!"
Just as the young official was about to leave, he saw Shen Zhui turn around from his seat. He immediately felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
In fact, this is not to blame for the young officials. The portraits of Shen Zhui circulated by the Ministry of Rites are all in a fighting posture with a purple gold crown, gold armor, walking shoes, and holding a Dian Kunwu! I don’t know if all the civil servants have this kind of bad taste, but in short, the generals of the Ministry of War, each and every one of them painted the most vicious side of the generals!
But now, Shen Zhui came to see Wei Wenhe, only dressed in casual clothes. When meeting an old friend in person, it is of course impossible to show off by wearing a marquis uniform.
Therefore, although this young official looked vaguely familiar, he did not recognize Shen Zhui for a while.
However, this is not important!
Wei Wenhe was in such a state of desolation that all his old friends in the past wished they could stay away from this whirlpool of right and wrong. Now, how could they be the heavyweights who are secretly hiding from each other now?
Hearing that the other party actually restrained him like this, the young official was already very angry at Li Wenqing, and he retorted on the spot: "Master Wei, who is this person? How come he is so ignorant of etiquette!"
The young official was still a little cautious, and he chased Shen openly, but even Wei Wenhe scolded him: "Master Wei, huh. You are now the secretary of the Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites. You must be upright, but don't do it." Hang out with some bad friends who don't know etiquette! Otherwise, your future will be delayed!"
Wei Wenhe looked strange, then laughed drunkenly and said: "Haha, if even the champion of the three armies can be regarded as a friend, then I hope that such friends can spread all over the world!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, ah - you, you!" The young official was suddenly startled and looked at Shen Zhui again. After looking carefully, his face suddenly turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He, he is actually the champion Hou Chenchai!
"Pfft~" After confirming that it was correct, the young official knelt down on the spot. His knees hit the ground heavily, his forehead hit the ground, and he said in panic: "Subordinate, please see the champion!"
"Humph!" Shen Zhui snorted coldly. "I don't think I can't afford to pay homage to a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites. What did you say just now? I'm just a rough countryman who doesn't know etiquette... It just so happens that you are a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites. Sir, why don't you come and teach me? How to do things."
"I, I, villain..." After hearing Shen Zhui's words, the fair-skinned young man was speechless.
Are you kidding me? I am a small official in the Ministry of Etiquette, but there is a huge gap between me and Marquis Wu! If you dare to teach Marquis Wu how to behave, is this not asking for death? Not to mention the clerk, the chief guest, even the secretary would have to lie down in front of this person! In other words, the minister of the second rank could communicate with his peers. But you have to be careful when making friends.
Why? Because Wuhou holds real power, his power is frightening, and after being sealed, he is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the capital. Most of the civil servants who are officials in the court and are under the control of the Ministry of Rites, Qingliu, and the Ministry of War are not qualified to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War!
There are too many people staring at the position in the capital, and even the Minister of Rites cannot mention his own people directly. On the contrary, maybe one day something happens to my three relatives and six brothers, and it would be an excellent job to be granted a title in the Hou Kingdom. After serving as an official for a period of time, you can write a very beautiful "local appointment" on your resume!
Seeing this kind of person with no backbone at all, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. Shen Zhui looked down upon him even more.
If he could face himself as Wu Hou and dare to speak forcefully, Shen Zhui would respect him. It proves that this person is really concerned about official affairs and not anything else.
But for behaving like this, he knelt down without even saying anything. Obviously he is just a loser who is used to flattery and bullies the weak but fears the strong.
Shen Zhui has been fighting in the army for so long and following Zhao Wang Lu Yuanwei in the battles, and he has also brought with him a trace of military habits. It is the most unseemly person to see him like this.
"You said that I don't understand etiquette, so I want to ask you. When a superior officer does things, you, a junior official, are pointing the finger? Where does your superiority and inferiority lie?"
"When a Shangguan receives a guest, he comes uninvited and directly breaks through the barrier. What kind of etiquette is this?"
"Did you know that in this situation, I will treat you as an intruder and kill you in one fell swoop! Not even the Minister of Rites can ask me for my guilt!" Shen Zhui said this and stepped forward.
The young official turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and a fishy smell came out.
When he heard the words about killing him, the young official was so frightened that he peed his pants under Shen Zhui's majesty!
"The lower officials deserve to die, but those who don't know are not guilty. I beg the Marquis for mercy, please be merciful..." The young official burst into tears and begged for mercy.
Wei Wenhe also sobered up a little at this moment, looked at the appearance of the clerk, and sighed. "Brother Shen, forget it, let him go."
"Humph, get out!" Shen Zhui waved his hand and sent the clerk flying out, landing on the deck.
The young official was overjoyed when he heard that Shen Zhui let him go. However, he was frightened by this surprise, fell down and fainted.
Wei Wenhe couldn't help but be speechless. This was the state of civilian officials. Without the suppression of official position, they would be vulnerable to military commanders. Fortunately, some departments, such as the Priest Department, can communicate with the gods at all times, and the soul is not weak. Another example is the Academy, where one studies the saints day and night, soaking in the power of the holy words, and one's combat power is not weak either.
But a place like the Chief Guest Department would be completely useless if you don't work harder on weekdays and don't have much skills in official positions.
As the saying goes, it is a taboo for the venerable. When they were at a low level, Yunwu and others only said a few words of King Liang, which caused the celestial phenomena to attack. Greedy Wolf gossiped about King Zhao's scandal behind his back, and was immediately taken by King Zhao.
This young official was just a low-level man with supernatural powers who was forced up by the fate of the country. It was really not easy for him to be able to persist until now before he fainted when facing the majesty of Marquis Wu.
Shen Zhui didn't hurt him either. The King of Hell was easy to mess with and the kid was difficult to deal with. If he left by himself, Wei Wenhe might be in trouble even more.
"Brother Wenhe, I will accompany you to meet Sizheng." Shen Zhui said with a smile. To be a good man, he must let all the officials in the Ministry of Rites know that Wei Wenhe is his elder brother.
After all the rituals are completed, we will look for an opportunity to transfer Wei Wenhe from the Ministry of Rites.
"That's not necessary." Wei Wenhe waved his hands helplessly. "Our Wei family is treading in troubled waters right now. It's too deeply involved, and it will inevitably involve you."
When Shen Zhui saw this, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Without mentioning the friendship between you and me, I have to pay a visit to Mr. Yushan to thank him for the thing he gave me."
Mr. Yushan, the former Right Chancellor Wei Xuancheng, was the initiator of the original petition to "destroy sects and abandon temples" and was a great scholar of the time. Shen Zhui originally received the tip bag from Wei Tianlong, and later guessed that it might be the great scholar who did it. Because so far, he has not been able to discover the secret in the kit.
What's more, Wei Wenhe probably already knew that he was the champion. The reason for not coming to see him is probably because he is afraid of causing trouble to himself.
"Meet the ancestor?" Wei Wenhe was stunned. He didn't know about the section where Shen Zhui was in the secret realm of the Holy Word.
"Haha, we'll talk about it in detail later." Shen Zhui waved his hand. "What's more, aren't you just in charge of my appointment as a Marquis? Going with you to meet him will save you a lot of trouble."
"Okay." Wei Wenhe was not a nagging person, so he agreed immediately.
…………
On the boat in the concierge building, Li Wenqing and another secretary were discussing the details of the itinerary of many generals entering Beijing. Although they are just generals now, those venerables might become marquises in the future.
Of course, more attention is still paid to Wen Xinhou and Champion Hou.
"Sir, I heard that the champion Hou Shenzui had a battle with Yang Lin, the genius of the Yang family, in the Forbidden Land on the border of West Antarctica because of his title ban. What do you think the outcome will be?" the long-faced man whispered.
"Yang Lin has been a general in the Northern Navy Regiment for many years. He has no shortage of talents, resources, and experience." Li Wenqing said with a smile. "The champion Hou Chenzhui, after all, broke through not long ago. I guess it should be Yang Lin who wins?"
"Haha, I knew adults would guess that." The long-faced man laughed.
"Oh? It was Shen Zhuisheng who won." Li Wenqing was slightly surprised.
"I also heard from my colleagues in the Supervision Department that King Zhao had not taken action all the way to Beijing until he arrived at the Lunnan Kingdom. It was Marquis Wenxin and Marquis Champion who led the generals to kill the thieves, including many masters of the ninth level. , but the champion has never failed..."
"It's amazing..." Li Wenqing sighed with emotion. "The King of Zhao killed King Lunnan in less than an hour. Lu Yuanwei is proficient in the way of the Holy Word. He even used Lord Wenzong Liu Ruqin's Heavenly Punishment Sword."
"One is a teacher and the other is a master. They have a bright future..."
"Yes." Si Wu was also envious. "If I had a teacher who was granted the title of king, I wouldn't be able to... Ahem, my subordinate made a mistake."
"Hmph." Li Wenqing glanced at the adjutant and hummed. "Have the arrangements been made for the courtesy officer sent to the Champion?"
"We've gone early." Si Wulian said. "I sent people there as soon as my Lord ordered me to do so."
"That's good. Don't imitate Wei Wenhe. Humph, since you're in the guest house, you should stay there honestly. Those who are half-hearted won't live long... huh? I've been calling Wei Wenhe for so long, where are they?" Li Wenqing looked at him. Outside.
At this moment, a fat official walked in hurriedly.
"Sir, Master Wei is here."
"Come here as soon as you come. It's not like you've never seen him before. How unbecoming is he to be in such a hurry!" Li Wenqing shouted.
"Coming with us is the Champion..."
"Pfft~" Li Wenqing spat out a sip of tea and his expression changed slightly.
"It's bad. Wei Wenhe must have wasted time. The champion came to trouble me..." Li Wenqing muttered to himself, with an ugly expression on his face.
"Damn Wei Wenhe, you missed my big deal! Why are you still hanging around? Follow me to meet the champion!"
"Yes." The fat official and the secretary immediately followed Li Wenqing to greet him.
…………
Just after landing on the boat in the concierge building, Shen Zhui and Wei Wenhe met Kong Yangzhou who was rushing over again.
"Brother Shen, you walk so fast..." Kong Yangzhou complained. "In the blink of an eye, you were gone."
The welcoming team was very large. In addition to people from Cheng Hai, the Minister of Rites, Qin Ming, the Minister of War, and Hai Qing, the transfer envoy between the two continents, there are also people from the Supervision Department. The other ministries also sent a small number of people, which can be regarded as a large scale.
"Why, I have to report to Lord Kong when I go out?" Shen Zhui joked.
"...How dare I." Kong Yangzhou said with a sneer. "Who is this……"
"Wei Wenhe, the chief guest of the Department of Hosts, has met General Kong." Wei Wenhe said with a cupped hand.
"Wei Wenhe?" Kong Yangzhou was slightly stunned. He also quickly returned the greeting. "It turns out to be Mr. Wei."
"Do you know Brother Wen He?" Shen Zhui asked doubtfully.
"I don't know." Kong Yangzhou smiled. "But I admire Mr. Yushan very much. My father studied at Jixia Academy and listened to Mr. Yushan's lectures.
Moreover, the younger generation of the Wei family who are still in the officialdom at this time are all people with great perseverance..."
Wei Wenhe cupped his hands and said nothing.
At this moment, Li Wenqing finally walked out of the boat in the concierge building.
Before anyone arrived, the voice came over first.
"The champion, I'm sorry to hear you come from afar. I've kept the champion waiting for a long time." Li Wenqing saluted respectfully, with a smile on his face.
Marquis Wu is both a title and an official title, and basically holds an important position. In terms of status, he is on par with the second-grade minister. The civil servants of the fifth rank were really not enough in front of Marquis Wu. What's more, he is still the champion, and he is not something Li Wenqing can offend.
"Li Sizheng is too polite. I don't dare to accept such a big courtesy from you." Shen Zhui said calmly.
Li Wenqing felt a thump in his heart when he saw that Shen Zhui was neither polite nor indifferent, even vaguely accusing him.
It's over, this Shen Zhui is really here to cause trouble.
It's all this damn Wei Wenhe's fault!
Thinking of this, Li Wenqing took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said: "Forgive me, Lord Champion, this matter is indeed a mistake by my boss and I slighted the Lord Champion. I have found out the whole story and will definitely give you an explanation!" "
"???" Shen Zhui was a little confused, what have you found out?
I saw Li Wenqing's eyes drifting to Wei Wenhe, and suddenly the clouds gathered, and he shouted with a stern face: "Wei Wenhe, you are supposed to be responsible for the arrangements for the ceremony of the Marquis, why are you neglecting!"
"Such dereliction of duty is simply a disgrace to the Ministry of Rites! Why don't you apologize to the champion immediately!"
"..." Kong Yangzhou and Shen Zhui were both speechless.
Wei Wenhe was extremely straightforward. He bent towards Shen Zhui and said with his hands in a serious manner: "This matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of a subordinate. Please forgive me, Lord Champion."
"Brother Wenhe!" Shen Zhui quickly helped Wei Wenhe up and said angrily. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com "Where are you from? You treat me like a mountain of kindness. I regard you as my brother. How can I blame you? Get up quickly..."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the Chamber of Commerce were dumbfounded.
Especially Li Wenqing, he was completely stunned.
Even the deafest of us, being so close, could still hear the words 'Brother Wenhe' and 'Grace is as heavy as a mountain' from Shen Zhui's mouth at this moment.
The closeness and respect in behavior cannot be faked.
This scene was once thought by Li Wenqing to be because he was dazzled.
Why is it that the fierce-looking champion Hou Chenzhui in the portrait is completely different from the real person? And he still respects this little Weiwen River so much?
Could this be a fake champion?
He is regarded as an elder brother, and his kindness is as great as a mountain...
Li Wenqing looked at Wei Wenhe in disbelief, completely confused about the situation.
Since the champion is so familiar with Wei Wenhe! So who was he pointing at when he looked like he was asking for guilt just now? Could it be you?
Li Wenqing's face turned bitter when he thought of his usual attitude towards Wei Wenhe.
It’s over! Now the chance of retiring in Zhangpinsi is gone!
Wei Wenhe had the support of Marquis Wu, and Li Wenqing found that his already bleak official career suddenly became completely bleak. He felt that the sky around him seemed to be a little darker.
Another clerk next to him reacted quickly and gently touched Li Wenqing's back.
