Reincarnated vassal system

This is a very spacious room, but the closed windows make the light in the room very dim, and the dark space makes the line of sight of this room very narrow.On the inner wall is enshrining an indistinguishable wooden sculpture of a deity and Buddha. Three incense sticks are burning in front of the altar, wisps of light smoke curl up, and the whole room is filled with the smell of sandalwood.

There is a futon in front of the altar, and above the futon is a woman with her eyes slightly closed, with beads in her hands, praising Buddha in her heart.There is a young man next to him, who is playing with something in his hand. Looking carefully, it seems to be a wooden nail that is inch long.

"Concubine Hui is really careless." The young man said lazily, looking bored, the wooden peg in his hand was thrown up and down again and again.

Hearing that the movement of the woman's hands was slightly paused, her slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and her eyes stayed on the honor of the gods and Buddhas that could not be discerned clearly. "She has no minions in Dali Temple."

"That's right, Bao Zhixian's death, tsk tsk." The young man looked ordinary in color at first glance, but the light in his eyes was incompatible with that face, showing a strange subtlety. "The Du family is really useless. After so many years, few of our family's children have climbed to the top. It all depends on recruiting some guys who are used to eating inside and outside." His tone was full of ridicule.

"It's Li Gang who has a big heart." The woman twisted a rosary.

"Concubine Hui's heart is higher than the sky, but she dared to bring her two daughters into the palace, and she really believed that our Majesty was infatuated with her. Once Concubine Li became pregnant, Li Gang had the opportunity to be the uncle of the country. Can it be big? Now Concubine Hui has to find a way to kill Li Gang and his daughter, so that in the end they can't even hold the position of Minister of Criminal Affairs, and they will be cut off." In his words, he was completely dismissive of Concubine Hui Gu, "Losing the minions of the Ministry of Punishment, my eyes are so small that I stare at the mess in Duke Wei's mansion."

The affairs in Duke Wei's mansion have been a foregone conclusion in the eyes of everyone since the prodigy grandson of Duke Wei died ten years ago and the big house completely collapsed. The hall couldn't tolerate it, and tossed out those backyard things that didn't wait to be popular, to frame others, but it still didn't succeed.Because of this, the young man looked down on Noble Concubine Hui even more.

"It's just too much honor and favor from the Holy One." The woman twisted another rosary.

"It's really hard to imagine how those old foxes in Tai'an raised those women from the Du family who used to think they were extremely smart. Bao Zhixian was such a useful chess piece, but was destroyed by a woman in a deep house. Concubine Hui I have already stood in this position today, and even my natal family can’t fully control it, probably all my thoughts are spent on how to eliminate dissidents in the harem, and pretend to be noble and glamorous to hook up with His Majesty.” The young man opened the booklet on the table and opened it. , tore out the two pages of paper from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, after thinking about it, turned to the back, and tore off Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li.

"This time she even used Li Gang's youngest daughter to frighten the queen mother. Could it be that she frightened the queen mother? Originally, the queen mother didn't like to stand out in the harem. At most, she came out to support the third prince when he got into trouble—could it be that she thought the queen mother This scare, can you just not support the third prince?" The young man sneered, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Concubine Hui for taking action this time, allowing us to join in the fun, it's a pity for those sisters and sisters."

"It's been ten years, no matter how good your patience is." The woman finally stopped twisting her rosary and stood up slowly, "She wants to be a queen, that's all."

"It's been ten years," the young man looked at the woman in front of him with interest, "Then you have been waiting for 15 years, do you still have the patience?"

The woman didn't speak when she heard the words, but slowly put the rosary in her hand on the table.

The young man has long been accustomed to the woman's silent appearance, and he has been doing a job where he can't talk much recently, and his mouth is itchy, so he continues to complain, "This Concubine Hui is disfigured, and finally It's time to fall out of favor, I didn't expect your majesty to look at this face for ten years without getting tired of it, I'm really curious about how graceful that person was back then, which made your majesty even look at a concubine Hui who was half or half the same..." His words came suddenly Slow down, because he suddenly found himself saying something he shouldn't have said.

I saw that the woman's originally flat face suddenly revealed a bit of ferocity, and she couldn't help pressing her hands in front of the altar, "That one? That one is naturally peerless and resourceful, huh."

"Hey, don't get excited, you said you are too, it's been 15 years, what's your rivalry with a dead man!" The young man took a few steps back, "Look at Concubine Hui, she looks like the three thousand beauties in the harem." There are not many who can compare, and they were defeated by someone who has been dead for more than ten years, so, the appearance is just a cloud, so don't worry about it."

The woman was only slightly agitated, and after 15 years of reading, her heart quickly calmed down.She was too lazy to explain to the young man that it was not a matter of appearance, so she picked up the rosary again and stroked it.

Seeing that the woman had calmed down, the young man laughed dryly, "Oh, Concubine Hui is in trouble, I'm going to look for the Du family's bad luck."

"No matter how bad it is, she has been standing in the harem for ten years, and she will suffer a lot if she underestimates the enemy."

"Hey, I'm not stupid. I went to her directly. I just went to find the Du family. The Du family is crazy, and the pigtails are easy to catch."

"If the sky makes him die, he must first make him mad."

"That's right, the Du family has been crazy for so many years, it's almost over." The young man thought for a while, "And that little champion, it's quite fun." He threw the wooden peg in his hand up again, and caught it accurately , and then heavily inserted into the torn pieces of paper on the table, the wooden nail immediately penetrated the paper and sank deeply into the wooden table.

He waved his hand to the woman, turned and opened the door to leave.

The world outside the door is bright.

……

This day is the day when the "little champion" Gu Huai takes up the post of the Secretary of General Administration.

The Secretary of the General Administration is in charge of the matter of closing and refuting internal and external chapters.This is a deep talk, let’s talk about it shallowly, this is a government office that helps officials and people, delivers memorials to the cabinet to the emperor, checks to see if there are any wrong formats or typos, and then finds faults. Since the Yintai Division in the Song Dynasty, all officials used to call the Tongzheng Division "Yintai".

When Gu Huai was young, he read a collection of Confucian classics and history. When he read Song History, he saw that there was a Yintai Division. At that time, Chang Min laughed and thought it was a place like a bank.Gu Huai explained to him that Yintai is the moon in ancient books, and explained that the Yintai Division was named because the department was located inside the Yintai Gate.

But now Gu Huai is a little skeptical, is this bank really a place for a wealthy family?

At this time, Gu Huai was being enthusiastically supported by the General Secretary's General and Zuo Tongzheng as he walked into the silver counter, his smiles were so genuine that there was no trace of falsehood.Gu Huai just looked directly at the two of them for a while, and was almost blinded by the smiles on their faces, the jade belt covered with jade foil around his waist, and the dozens of jade pendants hanging on the jade belt.

In the past, when they went to court together, Gu Huai really never paid attention to the clothes of the Tongzhengsi colleagues, mainly because the Tongzhengsi really did not speak in the court these years, and everyone almost forgot this should actually be an important central government office over time. .

However, Gu Huai had a very ominous premonition when he saw the appearance of even the head of the political department and the general political envoy.

Sure enough, as soon as you enter the office of the General Secretary, you will be greeted by an overwhelming number of "peiyu" officials!

The non-royal family of the Dashang Dynasty could not use golden ornaments, so gold naturally could not be worn casually.But the jade jewelry is different. First, everyone is a gentleman like jade. Those who want to enter the circle of scholars in the General Administration Department naturally have to "do as the Romans do"; second-it looks really rich.

As Gu Huai knew before, the Department of General Affairs is a good place for the sons of the powerful and powerful to donate to become officials. Often, some wealthy businessmen choose to entrust their relations with the people in the court and send their descendants to the imperial examination because of their low business status. General Secretary.

Of course, the Secretary of General Administration, as the central government office, is different from those dilapidated yamen that can be donated with just a few dollars. The biggest difference is that they also have to go through the back door, but the relationship they are looking for must be an extraordinary relationship; It is also necessary to use silver, but the amount of silver used must be an unusual amount.

The softness and hardness of your backstage and the amount of money in your family are directly related to whether you will become an official of the central government in the General Administration Department, or just hang out as a dilapidated Yuanwailang or the master secretary in the yamen.

Standing in front of Gu Huai at this time was the General Political Envoy, a third-rank official, who was licking his face and smiling at Gu Huai, "Hey, Mr. Gu, take a look at this room, are you satisfied?" After walking to a study room, he gently pushed the door open. The incomparably luxurious furnishings in the room made Gu Huai feel a little dazed.

Then there is Mr. Zuo Tongzheng, Gu Huai's peer, who looks like a Maitreya Buddha, with a round face and a broad body.Following the words of the Tongzheng Envoy, his fat body trembled with laughter, and the flesh on his face was huddled together because of the smile, "Oh, Mr. Gu, your arrival really made the Tongzheng Si full of glory! We can I have been looking forward to you for a long time, and this seat has been vacant for so long, so it is all because of your coming one day!"

You Wu: These two people are good at telling nonsense with their eyes open.

The position of Tongzheng Secretary Youtongzheng has indeed been vacant for a long time, but even if it is a powerless and powerful official position, it is also a fourth rank, so many people are fighting for it, how can it be vacant for so long?Gu Huai hurriedly took a few steps back, "Master Tongzheng, Mr. Zuo Tongzheng, both of you are so kind, Gu is really honored." He paused, "Gu is very satisfied with this study, please trouble you two!"

"Don't bother, don't bother!" The Tongzheng Envoy is not very old, and looks younger than Gu Huai's father, Gu Shi'an. Hearing Gu Huai's satisfaction, he grinned and looked around. Gu Huai leaned over. "Master Gu, I heard that you and Prince Rui have a good friendship?"

"It's just a few acquaintances." Hearing Shang Zhi's name, Gu Huai slightly restrained his expression, and answered cautiously, even taking his foot back when he was about to step into the study.

"Hey, Mr. Gu, don't be modest!" Zuo Tongzheng laughed until his eyes disappeared, "Everyone in the bank knows that Mr. Gu was able to leapfrog and come here because of the favor of Prince Rui." He lowered his voice, " Don't worry, only the people inside the cashier know, and the people outside don't know anything."

Even you all know it, and it must have been spread all over the capital... Gu Huai took a few steps back, but he didn't expect that the two adults in front of him would suddenly take one side of him, and directly put Gu Huai into the study, and put his feet together With a push, the door shuts immediately.

Frightened by the actions of the two, Gu Huai quickly called You Wu in his mind, looking at the two new colleagues with a slightly higher tonnage in front of him, he was very worried about his force value.

The two of them looked at each other, turned their heads up and laughed, then suddenly stopped, and walked towards Gu Huai with a sinister smile.

"Ready to exchange Dali Wan!" Gu Huai immediately notified You Wu, and at the same time the two rushed over!

The pill appeared in his hand instantly, and Gu Huai immediately covered his mouth, planning to directly resist the two of them, and punched out straight away.

... Immediately afterwards, he was lightly grasped by the two fists, and put them between him, and the two immediately leaned close to Gu Huai, "Master Gu, please do us a favor!"

"... Huh?" Gu Huai, who felt that his whole body was full of strength but had no chance to release it, twitched the corners of his mouth, and slowly loosened his fists on both sides, "Just tell me."

With Gu Huai's permission, the Tongzheng envoy immediately pushed Zuo Tongzheng away, "Master Gu! You said that you are so good with Prince Rui, can you please help inform Prince Rui that the two places in Huaiyang are The salt matter is still done quickly by the old guys! Look, not long ago, the prince just changed a salt merchant, and the salt boat accidentally capsized. Look at our old guys who have been working for so many years Encountering such a bad thing, it can be seen that others have done something wrong, which is not auspicious!"

Gu Huai didn't expect that the General Political Envoy would say such things, and he was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the Commander-in-Chief in front of him, and after confirming that it was not pretended by someone else, he began to think about the words of the Commander-in-Chief.

Prince Rui Shangzhi, a first-rank prince, enfeoffed the land of Huaiyang, enjoyed the taxes of the two lands, and had the right to directly intervene in local political disputes.He carefully looked at the face of the Tongzheng Envoy, and suddenly the blessing came to his heart, and he suddenly realized!

Isn't this General Political Envoy the son of the No. [-] salt merchant family in Huaiyang?

Although the Dashang Dynasty stipulated that the sons of merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, there were never many people who continued the imperial examinations through reform and other methods; and Gu Huaineng could remember the background of Mr. Tongzhengshi because it was 15 years ago.

Fifteen years ago, after the rebellion of Prince Dun, a plague broke out in the capital of Zhili Province, not far from Huajing. The epidemic that may spread to Huajing at any time is worrying, and the only way to deal with the epidemic at this time is to allocate a large sum of money to control the infected people in Fujing as quickly as possible.

At this time, there was a wealthy businessman in Huaiyang who had a heart for the whole world. He took most of his wealth and went to Huajing without hesitation. He donated both silver and silver to the imperial court. , and allowed his descendants to participate in the imperial examination, and recorded the person's name as stone.This suddenly opened the vanguard of Dashang Dynasty officials and businessmen to donate to the disaster relief. Many officials and businessmen donated money to help, so that the scene that should have been very chaotic became orderly, and the disaster was quickly brought under control.

This wealthy businessman is the father of the Tongzheng envoy in front of him. This Tongzheng envoy also got a Jinshi title in the next year without taking the exam, and then officially embarked on his official career. After spending more than ten years, he finally succeeded in becoming an official A senior official of the third rank, whose officialdom experience can be called the counterattack history of a generation of businessmen, can almost publish a book called "One Hundred Ways of Using Money on the Road to Promotion".

Gu Huai was considering his words, thinking about how to refuse the matter, but Zuo Tongzheng immediately answered the question.He leaned over to Gu Huai, "Master Gu, Mr. Gu, please do me a favor too!"

"Let's talk."

"That's right," he lowered his voice, "I want my unworthy son to enter the Imperial College. You can see if you can discuss it with your father, and then let your father be flexible and exempt from the entrance examination!" He coughed twice, " I'm really worried that my son's homework won't be in the eyes of Lord Jijiu, and it will be bad if it stains the eyes of Lord Jijiu, right?"

You Wu: I really didn't expect someone in Gu Shi'an's position to ask to go through the back door...

[Open the road to senior minister promotion!The first task: learn to open the back door reasonably!Reward: Golden waist attribute 10! 】

The long-lost system notification sounded again. Although Gu Huai didn't really understand why he still added the golden waist attribute when he opened the back door, You Wu would not tell that it was because he himself had begun to become someone else's golden waist.After reading the reminder, Gu Huai was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Master Tongzheng, this may be a bit difficult." Gu Huai made a look of embarrassment, "You know that the prince and I are just acquainted with each other a few times, and there may be no way to help you with such a big favor..."

The Tongzheng Envoy became anxious when he heard the words, "Mr. Gu, you must help! You just need to be able to say a few words, but we really can't talk to the prince. This is definitely not the prince's intention. It was the people below in Huaiyang who changed the order day and night and made their own decisions!"

"This..." Gu Huai hesitated.

Feeling that there seems to be a joke, the General Manager strikes while the iron is hot, "Master Gu, just pass on a message, will you be resigned to fate?" He lowered his voice, "Sincerity is not a problem." As he spoke, he took out some silver coins from his sleeve. The ticket was simply stuffed into Gu Huai's sleeve, "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Mr. Gu!"

Seeing that Mr. Tongzheng Envoy Gu Huai seems to have taken over the work, Zuo Tongzheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Master Gu, money is not a problem! My unworthy son is the only son in the family, the flesh on the tip of my mother's heart, It's a pity that if you can't get into the Imperial Academy, you can directly recommend talented people to go up in the future, at least it's a way out, and it won't make the old people in the family worry about it!"

This is to be entrusted to Gu Shi'an, Gu Huai pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door.

Zuo Tongzheng immediately went over to open the door quickly, but saw the person standing outside the door looking straight at Gu Huai, describing that he was somewhat similar to Gu Huai, at this moment Zuo Tongzheng could only hear Gu Huai leisurely He shouted loudly, "Second Brother."
