Daxianguan

Chapter 779 Almost a foregone conclusion
It was only after returning to the mansion that Chu Xian finally settled down.

Since the higher-ups want to add a burden to themselves, how can there be any reason to push it out?What's more, I already had this intention, but before, I felt that there were too many competitors, my qualifications were still low, and I wanted to work in the household department for a few more years. Now that the situation has changed and I have this opportunity, Chu Xian will naturally not refuse .

Ji Wen came up to him.

Ever since she got married with Chu Xian, Ji Wen's complexion has become much better than before. At the moment she is full of charm. Although she is nearly forty years old, but because of her cultivation and taking the beauty elixir, she looks only in her 20s at the moment The appearance of a woman is the best time of a woman.

Without intrigue and intrigue, Ji Wen's life is naturally quite comfortable now. Seeing Chu Xian coming back with a happy face, Ji Wen asked: "My husband is blessed today, is there something good about it?"

I have to say that Ji Wen has a good way of seeing people, Chu Xian nodded: "You really hit the mark."

Ji Wen was taken aback, Chu Xian deliberately only said half a sentence, she naturally didn't realize it all at once, at this moment she asked curiously: "What did I say?"

Chu Xian laughed: "Guess!"

Outside, Chu Xian is a majestic fairy official, but at home, he naturally has to relax a lot, especially when he is newly married to Ji Wen, of course there must be some small flair.

Ji Wen thought about it very seriously, and then said: "My husband didn't have such a blessing before he went out, that is to say, I must have gained something by going to see Grand Master Xiao Yu this time, and my husband and I have not talked about officialdom recently. The only time it happened was before we got married, when I sent the fox girl to send a letter, I mentioned that the position of Shang Shuling, the husband can fight for it, and the few adults who recently competed for the position of Shang Shuling Targeting each other, the candidate has always been pending, so the concubine guesses that it is about this matter?"

Ji Wen's last sentence was full of doubts, and he stared at Chu Xian with wide eyes. Chu Xian was dumbfounded, but Ji Wen actually got everything right, and it was obviously not a random guess, but a reasonable and well-founded guess.

Obviously, Ji Wen is very successful in the art of deduction. Chu Xian has heard people say that Ji Wen's favorite reading is the theory of deduction written by himself. Now it seems that it should be correct.

With Chu Xian's expression and reaction, Ji Wen was also taken aback, and then showed a look of surprise: "Could it be that the concubine guessed it right? Is it really the position of Shang Shuling? Could it be that the candidate Xiao Yu is interested in is the husband?"

Chu Xian nodded, Ji Wen was really ecstatic this time.

She is more concerned about official affairs than Li Ziwan and Concubine Luo, and she also understands what the official position of Shang Shuling means. If entering the Shoufu Pavilion is already beyond the reach of most officials, then Shang Shuling An official position of this level is beyond the reach of most of the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion.

There are a total of more than 20 immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion, and these 20 are also divided into ranks. Chu Xian, one of the six ministers, belongs to the lowest existence in the Shoufu Pavilion. It is the six ministers and the like, and it is only the middle level. Under the Zhongshuling, the Zhongshuling belongs to the official position between the middle and the upper level. Xiao Yu was the Zhongshuling back then.

On top of this, there are only a few positions on the upper floor of the Shoufu Pavilion. The left and right grand masters are naturally the highest. Since ancient times, the left is the most respected, and the left is higher than the right. Master, Yang Zhenqing belongs to the second person and is the right master.In addition, there are Da Situ, Da Sima, General Jinjia and General Jade at the same level, and there is Shang Shuling who is the second rank, so in terms of rank, Shang Shuling is even higher than Zhongshu Ling level one.

Ji Wen knew this, and that's why he was ecstatic, because if this happened, Chu Xian would become a high-level executive in the Shoufu Pavilion, or jump two levels in one fell swoop.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. Ji Wen is very clear that if Chu Xian jumps two ranks and ascends to the position of Shang Shuling, he will face more challenges and doubts than others. At the same time, he will also face many people. hostile.

At least this time, the officials who competed for the Minister's Order would feel more or less hostile towards Chu Xian in their hearts, even if they didn't show it, it didn't mean they didn't.

After being pleasantly surprised, Ji Wen began to remind, and Chu Xian also nodded. He naturally thought about Ji Wen's worries, but everything is like this, and you can't stop because of other people's doubts. wrong?
So no matter what the situation, you have to keep going.

Ji Wen ran to tell the good news to the rest of the family. Chu Xian had more things to do on his side. the next successor.

Fortunately, many things of Chu Xian have been arranged on the right track. No matter who will take over the position of Zuo Shilang, as long as the current plan is carried out, there will be no problems. What's more, after he takes office as Shang Shuling, he can It is better to implement reforms, and Chu Xian is happy to do so, because many ideas in the past were unable to be implemented due to official positions, and they can be carried out after they become ministers. This is the key to making Chu Xian accept the appointment of Grand Master Xiao Yu without hesitation.

The news that Grand Master Xiao Yu summoned Chu Xian alone was secret, but it was impossible to keep it completely secret. What's more, neither Grand Master Xiao Yu nor Chu Xian deliberately concealed this matter, so the news spread on the same day Yes, although I don't know what the two talked about specifically, but there are already various versions of speculation.

Some said that it was just an ordinary summons. Chu Xian, as the implementer and leader of the land system change, Grand Master Xiao Yu has always attached great importance to this matter, so he often asks Chu Xian to understand the situation.

There is another saying, which is very interesting, that is, Taishi Xiao Yu is asking Chu Xian, who should be in charge of the Shang Shuling, which is equivalent to seeking and considering Chu Xian's opinion. There are many bases for guessing this. In recent years, although Chu Xian is only a servant, his power to speak in the Shoufu Pavilion is increasing day by day. Not only in terms of power, he has the title of half of the Minister of the Household Department, and in terms of power of speech, he is different from the six ministers. In comparison, the other servants were very envious, but there was nothing they could do.

As for the last guess, it is extremely bold, that is, Grand Master Xiao Yu intends to promote Chu Xian as the minister.

However, not many people believe in this guess.

After all, Chu Xian did not show any intention of competing for the official position of Shang Shuling. This was not only said, but also done. Everyone's eyes are discerning, what real competitors are doing, and non-competitors are doing What, that is clear at a glance, so although this statement is explosive, few people believe it.

The next day, the Shoufu cabinet-level meeting was held before the court meeting. This is already a regular meeting, and it usually ends in half an hour at most. Efficient.

It's just that the candidate for Shang Shuling has been unresolved recently.

The Ministry of Officials has already screened all qualified and capable officials. It can be said that candidates for Shang Shuling can only be selected within the Shoufu Pavilion. There are many qualified candidates, and the most popular are those three or four. It was just these three or four, but one could not be selected. The two regular meetings of the Shoufu Pavilion voted and failed.

Today is the third time.

Wang Shenling, Hubu Shangshu, and Libu Shangshu, these three are currently the strongest competitors for Shangshuling. They arrived early. Naturally, at their level, it is impossible to express their likes and dislikes directly, so even if this paragraph For a while, they were like life and death enemies, but when they met, they could still laugh and say some polite words. Those who didn't know the inside story thought their relationship was good.

When other immortal officials arrived one after another, Grand Master Xiao Yu who presided over the meeting said directly: "Since everyone is here, let's discuss the matter."

Some things must be discussed in the Shoufu Pavilion before the court meeting. This is also the practice of the Shoufu Pavilion. Several things are carried out very quickly. In the end, Grand Master Xiao Yu said: "The only candidates for Shang Shuling are left. Well, the first two times no one was selected, which rarely happened in the past. In my opinion, it’s better to add more candidates. Didn’t the Ministry of Officials already draw up a list of qualified candidates? This time it is counted, everyone will consider it comprehensively, and choose again, I hope that this time there will be a result."

After becoming the head of the Shoufu Pavilion, Grand Master Xiao Yu's style of doing things is much more vigorous than before. After all, he is the head, and the right to speak is not comparable to that of Zhongshu Lingshi back then.

After Grand Master Xiao Yu said these words, the expressions of Wang Shenling and the other candidates immediately changed.

Something is clearly different today.

But it's also their fault that they didn't seize the opportunity, and they have already listed the four of them as the most likely candidates. Before, they were only selected among the four of them, but they were not selected twice, so they expanded the candidates this time. There is nothing to say. In this way, there are more candidates, and the previous votes can be dispersed. In this way, it is almost impossible to achieve half of the support.

So, they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Grand Master Xiao Yu's gourd.

But in any case, they can only agree that the chief seat can't decide who will take the official position, but at least they can decide how to choose it.

Wang Shenling and the others are old officials. Judging from the situation that Grand Master Xiao Yu didn't play cards according to the routine today, they immediately sensed that something was wrong, and knew that they were going to play other moths today.

Reminiscent of what was said before, Grand Master Xiao Yu met Chu Xian alone, could it be that Chu Xian came up with this bad idea?
They hope so, and they are afraid, it is another possibility.

At this time, a person walked in outside. It was actually the Supreme Leader. This person usually does not come to the Shoufu Pavilion meeting, so the sudden arrival of the Supreme Leader today naturally surprised many people, and the Supreme Leader has a very high status. High, so everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
