Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 158 Untitled
In the middle of the night, Cai Gengdao sat leisurely in the private room, tasting the light fruit wine, smiling at Mrs. Li who came in, and said calmly: "How is it?"

"There are things that a master has to do, how can we not handle them well, don't worry! There is a big lady who will help." Mrs. Li said with a flattering smile, she really couldn't offend Cai Geng.

Cai Gengdao nodded, and said with a smile: "I am very relieved of your work."

Just as Mrs. Li was about to say a few words of modesty, she heard footsteps outside and said in a low voice, "My lord, the eldest lady is here."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Shishi walked in with a pretty face like frost, looked at Cai Gengdao coldly, without any politeness, and said indifferently: "Your official is really a good means."

Cai Gengdao didn't dare to trust Li Shishi. Behind him was Zhao Guan's family. Although he didn't have any status, even if his mouth couldn't do anything to the old man, he was just a piece of cake.In order to please Li Shishi, the Zhao official family was afraid that they would listen to what they said, so they immediately got up and said with a smile: "It's too much to say, how can you get into the first eyelid."

"For the sake of the favor owed to Mr. Xiang, this time is not an example, and the money has been handed over." Li Shishi said coldly, and she didn't want to talk nonsense with Cai Geng at all.These majestic gentlemen, each with five people and six people, are extremely dirty in private.

Cai Gengdao didn't care about it, as long as he could get things done, it was more important than anything else to preserve the relationship between the Cai family and the Tian family. He smiled and said: "Why did the leader come here in person? Wang Wenshi is a great talent."

"You don't want people to live, I want to accumulate virtue." Li Shishi rolled his eyes at Cai Geng and said, turned around and left without giving any face.Well, she and he don't need to give Cai Gengdao much face.

Wang Xiu, however, was in a dream. He envisioned creating a world-renowned reputation, but he didn't expect that someone would push him to the edge of the abyss.

At this time, Wang Xiu's mind became more and more heavy, but he understood what was going to happen next. Although he wanted to reject the emperor's kindness, he was still a little nervous. In order not to be caught by Zhao Ji as his son-in-law, he really spent all his money.

He didn't want to be serious at first, but the matter was beyond his control. It should be said that the development of the matter seemed to be controlled by a pair of big hands. Get rid of his control and let him do the fake show for real.

He thought a lot, but still made up his mind that he would never be the princess. Even if he was worried that he was wrong, he must go on. He was not afraid of ten thousand but just in case. If something happened at that time, he didn't even have the chance to prepare. It's miserable, and there is no chance to prepare, so there is no place to cry?

Don't think he is hypocritical. This is the cruel reality of reality. If you want to punish a person and make him lose his political future, the best way is not to suppress him, but to flatter him.The relaxed political environment of the Song Dynasty determined that there was little chance of killing opponents.The strange thing is that the more the minister belittles, the higher the reputation will be. Making you the son-in-law of the emperor is just a clever trick, so that you can't tell the pain, but you have to be grateful.

In the small building next to the Zuixing Building, Wang Xiu really drank too much. He didn't even have the time to walk, so he could only let the servants carry him to rest. Anyway, he was not afraid of spending money. When he was in a daze and wanted to sit up , but saw a trance figure, some couldn't see clearly, but it was Wen Xijun vaguely,

When he returned to the yamen early in the morning, he started to get busy, Shen Mo hurried into the public hall, and before he sat down, he said: "Wen Shi, it's a great thing, why don't you say it's my turn."

Wang Xiu put down the Langhao brush, and said in doubt: "What good things are not your turn, and there are good things that are not your turn. I think you are going to be promoted to a noble?"

"Damn, it's true to be promoted, but it's not me but you." Shen Mo smiled, with envy but no jealousy on his face.

"I'm going to be promoted, don't talk nonsense, well, hurry up and get to work, the sooner the government office and the bank are open, the sooner our brothers can be promoted." Wang Xiu smiled nonchalantly.It's a joke, who doesn't like to be promoted to rank, and Zhao Guan's family is not a fool, they add ranks to others casually, and they want to be promoted as soon as they get into the rank of Jinshi.

If you want an official position, you can do it. For those who don’t have a post, you can go to Cai Xianggong and Wang Dashi, spend five or six hundred guan, and just play around with the general judge. If you want a high-ranking official, you can spend [-] guan Come and play.

Shen Mo rolled his eyes, curled his lips and said, "Do you think I'm joking? It's so boring early in the morning."

Wang Xiu was taken aback for a moment, looked up at the silent and smiling ground, and felt uneasy for a while, this guy didn't seem to be telling the truth, but he was vaguely hopeful, maybe something good would happen, he couldn't help but smiled, and picked up the wolf hair Pen.

"You don't believe me?" Seeing Wang Xiu's indifference, Mo Mo's face suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly said: "I heard Gao Ping say that the Hanlin Academy has already prepared a post for you in the Secret Pavilion and set up a government office." Examine the texts of all houses, and you will be dismissed to control the texts of Goujiyi, and you will be allowed to inspect the texts of all houses."

"Is there any mistake that the two governments approved the job adjustment so quickly?" Wang Xiu was not considering his appointment or dismissal, but a memorial to the government office to adjust his official position a few days ago. After checking the texts of various houses, Guan Goujiyi is directly responsible to the highest official of the office, which is an extremely important position.

"The Privy Council has inspected the documents of various rooms, and the government office is also set up. The most important thing is the Zhimi Pavilion. This is an absolute honor! You are the first to receive a post in the new department."

Silence is not envious, that is false.The Secret Pavilion was set up in the first year of Chunhua. There were officials such as Xiuzhuan, Xiubian, Zhiguan, and Zhiyuan. In order to remove the official positions of Zhiguan and Zhiyuan, Zhimi Pavilion is only used as a subsidy for civil servants.

This is not a big deal, the key is that all pavilion posts need to pass the exam, but Zhimi Pavilion does not need to be appointed through the exam, and the emperor personally appoints to show his respect and favor.

Wang Xiuneng had just obtained a Jinshi degree, and was promoted to a post in the Secret Pavilion, and was promoted to examine the writing of Zhufang, which is enough to show that Zhao Ji attaches great importance to him.That's because, straightening up the secret pavilion is not a big deal, but the implication in it is not trivial. It shows that Wang Xiu has entered the eyes of the emperor, and his future is limitless.
Silently envious, he said with gusto: "It seems that the government really wants to recruit you as a son-in-law!"

Wang Xiu was taken aback, and what she said silently was right! Jinshi and the secretary who had just entered the official career, the Secretary of the Provincial School, was the ultimate official. carry.He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and quickly raised his worth step by step. Isn't this the prelude to Princess Shang?

He glanced at Silence in embarrassment, suppressed the turmoil in his heart temporarily, and said, "Brother Zhi, is there a shop with a better location in Kaifeng City?"

"Why, you want to open a shop in Kaifeng?" Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, unable to adapt to Wang Xiu's leaping thinking, and then he talked about how to make money in business.

Wang Xiu took a breath, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, I want to take the opportunity to open a store in Kaifeng, so I will open a branch of Wangji Department Store."

Shen Shen shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Wenshi, Kaifeng Industrial and Commercial Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger is by no means as simple as you think. During this period of time, my Shen family is under a lot of pressure. When the Prime Minister's Office of National Affairs is officially established, you will gradually come into contact with those gangsters." Humans are all hungry wolves, and if one is not paying attention, there is not even a bone left."

Wang Xiu knew Shen Mo's good intentions. Businessmen have the sense of businessmen. The government office and the bank are involved in business affairs. How can these bloodthirsty mad sharks not smell blood? With all the achievements, the prospect of the office and the bank alone can make the Shen family go all out.

No, under the behest of the ancestors of the Shen family, the Shen family tried their best to withstand the pressure of the warehouse, bank and other businesses, not only to relieve the pressure on Shen Mo, but also to sell personal favors to Cai You, Wang Xiu and other real power factions, and to give real power to the two governments. Indirect favor from the boss, as for a little loss, what is it?As long as the reward is generous, they are also happy.

He has good intentions for the Shen family, but he is not afraid of those predators in Kaifeng. No matter how noisy they are, they must abide by business and financial rules. You can resist or even manipulate the country for profit, but you must obey the rules.

Disobey the rules?It's very simple, being swarmed up by other bloodthirsty crocodiles, tearing them clean, because they obey the rules.

"Help me find a suitable shop, I really need it." Wang Xiu couldn't give an excuse to Mo Mo, he also had a faint feeling that time was not waiting for me, and he had to quickly set up a branch.

Wang Fu's mansion

"This Wang Wenshi is really capable of tossing about, and there hasn't been any movement in the past few days." Wang Fu's eyes shook, and his tone of voice was still calm.

Zhao Ye sat down, put down the exquisite white porcelain cup, and smiled cautiously: "He went to Fan Lou."

"Oh, but it's quite interesting." Wang Fu frowned and smiled with great interest.

"Why do senior officials value Wang Wenshi so much, and even the Prime Minister is so fond of him? It's really hard for me to understand." Zhao Ye shook his head. He thought about Wang Fu's mind before deciding to find out. After all, they have common interests.

Wang Fu glanced at Zhao Ye, and said indifferently: "Wang Wen is really capable, but it's still a businessman's trick, and it won't make it into the elegant hall."

Zhao Ye frowned slightly, and didn't speak, but secretly belittled in his heart. If Wang Xiu's beautiful articles and theories about governing the world are not good enough, then your Wang Fu actor's tricks only know how to be charming It is a joke to be able to enter the elegant hall.However, these words can only be said in the stomach, and must not be said out loud, who made Wang Fu the favorite of Zhao Guan's family.

Seeing that Zhao Ye was silent, Wang Fu said again: "Wang Wenshi Jin Mingchi is arrogant and refuses the king's kindness. This person was used by Cai Yuanchang, not a like-minded person like you and me."

The murderous intent was awe-inspiring, Zhao Ye's support for Zhao Kai was true, but he was considered capable, and his sense of Wang Xiu was not too bad.In the Song Dynasty, the political struggles could basically be controlled within the scope of gentleness and elegance, and even the thorns three thousand miles away were also feared by others. He knew that Wang Xiu was not for Zhao Kai's use, but he was also a reserved talent.

Wang Fu actually moved bad thoughts, which really made him despise.

"He's still young, and he's in high spirits. When he's released three years ago, he'll understand what's going on."

"Hmph, I hope so. The most important thing at the moment is to build momentum for the king, and we must not relax a little bit." Wang Fu can't be too demanding on Zhao Ye, so he can only talk about Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai's disadvantages are still obvious. Well, Dayi's reputation doesn't mean that it can be reversed by turning it around, it still needs a lot of hard work.

Zhao Ye nodded. Why didn't he understand the truth? In order to gain the greatest political benefits, he was willing to go all out.
