I was a gentleman in ancient times

Zhong Lihui told Wei Su about the situation in the court, how the various forces are, etc., so that Wei Su would not be dragged into the water in the future without knowing it.

For so many years in Lou country, he has been cautious and unmoved by anyone's wooing. This is one of the reasons why he can preserve himself.

"Young Master Huai holds a grudge against Mr., and at the reception banquet, Mr. swept his face again. He will definitely not let it go so easily. Regarding Mr.'s appointment, I think Young Master Huai will definitely intervene in it." Zhong Lihui said with certainty.

Regarding Young Master Huai, Wei Su also had some headaches.As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. Gongzi Huai belongs to the category of villains.However, there is no way, as long as this kind of person sees you as unhappy, even if he doesn't provoke you, he will come to your door.

Wei Su wasn't afraid of him, he just found it annoying that the flies were always jumping around in front of him. "Even if he intervenes, I'm not afraid. Master Song speaks for me, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all watching. He doesn't dare to mess around if he thinks about it."

Zhong Lihui nodded, "Although that's the case, with him here, it's impossible for Qinggui to take the position. If he tampers with it and throws the difficult bone to Mr., it will be a little troublesome."

Understanding the unfinished meaning of Zhong Lihui's words, Wei Su smiled, "I said before the banquet that I hope to govern every village and every mile. Even if it is a difficult bone, Wei Su believes that there are more solutions than difficulties, as long as there is a heart, there is no problem that cannot be solved in the world."

Wei Su has always disliked the intrigues of the officialdom, exalting the high and trampling the low, and instead of making false promises with these people, it is better to go to the countryside to do things freely.

Zhong Lihui originally thought that what he said at the banquet was official-sounding, but he didn't expect that he really thought so.I felt admiration in my heart, everything can be seen in a small way, Mr. Wei said that, it is really for the common people.Thinking about it, Mr. Wei was born in a farming family, so he naturally has a lot of heart for the common people.

Zhong Lihui's mind-boosting Wei Su naturally didn't know about it, and it was getting late, so the two left a way of meeting, and agreed to treat each other as ordinary people in front of outsiders.When Wei Su needs Zhong Lihui to do something, he can be summoned. I believe that with Zhong Lihui's ability, Wei Su's plan will get twice the result with half the effort.

In King Lou's Palace, Song Qing was sweating profusely, looking at the leisurely Young Master Huai beside him, why did this man come all the way to join in the fun?I don't see him being so caring on weekdays. Mr. Wei has offended the master, so today's matter is a bit tricky.

Young Master Huai didn't care about his eyes at all, he was drinking tea leisurely.

Song Qing was very helpless, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. Although Mr. Wei doesn't care about these things, the eyes of scholars all over the world are watching. If it's not a leisurely and noble position, it doesn't fit your status."

The young master next to him snorted lightly, "Lord Song, you don't have to flatter Wei Su, because you are in line with your identity? What is his identity? He is just from a rural background. It is already for him to honor the king's honor by condescending to invite him personally. Now the king Let him be the little doctor Situ Zhong, who specializes in managing the people, fields, and taxation of the royal city and its surrounding suburbs, what else do you want? This job is something that no one else can find."

Song Qing stomped his feet, "You can't say that, no matter what, Wei Su is still a gentleman in Yingyang Academy, at least he should be a noble official like Yushi in charge of documents and secretaries."

"Master Song, don't forget that it was Mr. Wei who said he was willing to manage the affairs of the village. This little Situ is much better than the officials in the village, and he can fulfill his wish. My son thinks that this position is very suitable for Mr. Wei Well." The young master smiled, determined not to let Wei Su succeed, he was already showing mercy if he suggested that the king give the little Situ an official position.It is absolutely impossible to want a noble official position.

Knowing that he couldn't reason with Young Master Huai, Song Qing had no choice but to ask Mr. Lou for help, "Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty wants?"

Lou Guojun stroked his beard, "Actually, what Huai'er said is also reasonable, and we can't ignore Mr. Wei's meaning. Since Mr. Wei is willing to let go of his status and not want to take a high position from the beginning, what Huai'er proposed is not unreasonable. "

Since the king had already clearly favored Young Master Huai, Song Qing naturally had no other choice. He knew that this matter was considered a decision.

The young master is triumphant, fighting with me?Your Majesty is naturally on my side for such a small matter, and he smiled, "Master Song, my proposal is really for Mr. Wei's benefit. When you go to pass on your order, you must make it clear that if it is not for me The young master tried his best to deal with it, Mr. Wei couldn't get what he wanted no matter what! Hahaha..."

Young Master Huai left in a very unrestrained manner, leaving Song Qing alone with a sad face, how could he explain this to others.

Song Qing held the appointment decree issued by Lou Guojun in his hand, and went to Weisu's mansion with the little yellow gate that issued the decree.

After seeing the ceremony, Wei Su looked at Song Qing's frowning, hesitating to speak, and felt a little hesitant in his heart. What kind of official position did Lord Lou give him to make Mr. Song feel so embarrassed.

Suspicious in his heart, Mr. Song said with a guilty face: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Song has failed you. I am really ashamed for not being able to help Mr. find a suitable position." He paused, sighed: "It's just this matter. It's all up to the king to decide, and no one else can."

Wei Su didn't have anything to worry about, no matter what official position Lou Guojun gave him, wouldn't he have to accept it?Looking at Song Qing's appearance, it seemed that someone was obstructing him, but he knew it without guessing.

However, no matter what, he was also mentally prepared, and said with a smile: "Master Song, why did you say that? Naturally, Lord Lou's appointment must be respected. How can you blame this matter?"

"Mr. Wei doesn't know something." Song Qing shook his head and explained the matter in general, "In short, I failed to persuade the king to change his mind. I'm sorry Mr. Wei."

Wei Su laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Lord Song, don't blame yourself. You make Su Zhen think that you are some county Sima, county Sikong, Tianbu officials and other officials? But even if it is Tianbu officials, Wei Su would also like it. Isn't it just that there is no censor? In fact, isn't this little Situ very good?"

County Sima, Sikong, and Tianbu officials are the smallest officials at the bottom. It is a thankless job to assist the county magistrate in running errands such as land taxation.

Wei Su listened to Master Song's ins and outs, and was quite pleasantly surprised when he heard about Situ's official position.This is to manage farmers, fields, and taxation affairs in and outside the royal city. It can be said that it is a very pragmatic official position. Wei Su has long said that he wants to do things for the people, so he is naturally very satisfied with this position.

Song Qing looked at Wei Su, wondering if what he said was the truth or a lie.

He hesitated a bit, "The position of censor is in charge of some civil documents. It is a well-known noble and leisurely position. Many people are looking for their future and fame. This position is often fought for. I value this official position very much. It is better for Mr. Wei to go than to worry about the trivial matters of the common people, and it is also in line with your status as a gentleman." He paused, and said in a deep thought: "Mr. Wei, this matter has not yet been settled. , maybe there is still a chance to change."

Having said that, he has pulled Wei Su up, wanting to enter the palace.But Wei Su grabbed him and said with a smile: "I said it's good. Since you are here to deliver the order, Wei Su will accept the order. There is really no need to bother."

Song Qing looked at Wei Su, saw that he didn't look like he was joking, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Wei? You really don't mind?" After thinking about it, he seemed to have something to say, gritted his teeth and said, "Here I am I also have to remind my husband that it is not clear what purpose Young Master Huai has for being so concerned about this, sir, it is better to be careful."

Song Qing knew how young master Huai was. He already held a grudge when Lou Guojun invited Wei Su not to come, and everyone in the court knew about it.This time Mr. Wei's clean-up banquet, he deliberately made things difficult for others, anyone with a discerning eye could see that, with the style of Mr. Huai, it is impossible for him to intervene in this matter for no reason.

Wei Su has just arrived here, so he may not know what kind of person Young Master Huai is, let alone know how Young Master Huai is hostile to him.Reminding myself that such a sentence can be regarded as the friendship that has come all the way.

Wei Su didn't expect that Song Qing would remind him, and he was a little moved. He thanked Song Qing immediately, pretending to be ignorant and said, "Young Master Huai probably realized Wei Su's original intention, so he suggested the monarch to make such an arrangement. How can there be any other purpose? It's too late for Su Xie."

Seeing that Wei Su persisted in his delusions, Song Qing sighed, and stopped trying to persuade him, and ordered Xiao Huangmen to read the king's decree.

Wei Su was full of joy to accept the order without mentioning it. Now that the king's order has been issued, Wei Su's hanging heart finally fell.

He didn't want to make too much fuss, mainly because he was afraid that there would be many dreams in the night, and if the young master conceived something wrong, it would be difficult to deal with it if he was caught off guard.As for Gongsun Huai's ulterior motives, hehe, he has to prepare well now, he really doesn't believe that he won't be able to handle it.

In the palace, it was heard that Wei Su had accepted the king's order, which meant that the matter was a foregone conclusion.The news put the young master in a good mood, and he immediately summoned the disciples to discuss.

"I didn't expect Wei Su to accept Wang Ling so easily and take the position of little Situ. What do I think he is capable of? How about it? Why don't you just obediently let me manipulate you and accept the appointment. Hahaha!" Young Master Huai laughed heartily, his plan had completed the first step, why not make him happy.

"Now the first step has been successful, you can discuss what to do next." Although Wei Su and the others are impossible to take down, they can use some small tricks to trip him up and make him burn out. People are happy.

The people here are all disciples and advisers that Young Master Huai valued, and Wei Su's appointment was the result of their discussions.

When Young Master Huai said these words, everyone present looked at a young man sitting in the corner in unison.The man took a sip of the tea soup and slowly raised his head.The half of the face that was hidden in the darkness was revealed, pale, proudly unyielding, with a hint of prey in the eyes.

A very ordinary weak scholar, but if there is someone from Yingyang Academy here, they will recognize that this person is Xu Xuan who left the academy back then.

Xu Xuan was very conceited and domineering back then, and he was very dissatisfied with Wei Su, who entered the academy at the same time as him and became a teacher and was well-known all over the world.He always believed that Wei Su, a commoner, entered the academy because of luck, and because of the intentional release of the gentlemen of the academy.

He witnessed the discussion with his own eyes, although he said that he had to pass the assessment of the gentlemen, and more than half of the gentlemen needed to agree.But the fact is that several well-known names, such as Mr. Duanmu from the Mo family, Mr. Zou from the Yin-Yang family, etc., agreed to Wei Su's pass without coming forward for the examination.

This made him resentful, he didn't believe that Wei Su could really understand all schools of thought.Everyone's praise for Wei Su made him even more jealous and resentful.

He has always regretted that if he was able to challenge like Wei Su at that time, he could also be a gentleman, and he could become famous in one fell swoop.To be the guest of the monarchs of various countries, what kind of official positions should not be chosen by oneself?And how did he come to the point of being a guest for others?

He also went to Wei Su's first lecture in the academy, just to see what kind of unique skills Wei Su had, but he was disappointed in the end.It's just a strange and obscene skill to deceive people. This kind of deceitful trick is everywhere in the world. Unfortunately, he actually deceived most of the students in the academy.

But he just told the truth, and was squeezed out by his classmates in the academy, and finally had to leave Yingyang Academy and Yingyang City sadly without accomplishing anything.

All of this was caused by Wei Su, and now that he has such an opportunity to get revenge, he must spare no effort to do so.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Xuan cupped his hands towards Young Master Huai Gong and said, "It will be a matter of course, as long as Wei Su takes office, this mess will definitely make him scramble. I don't believe that he has never been in a position that everyone else avoids. A gentleman who has been an official, let alone government affairs, is capable of resolving this matter. You only need to say hello, let the ministers of the court and the central government stand by and not interfere in this matter. When he can't handle it, when the time comes Your Majesty's opinion of Wei Su is naturally greatly discounted. So you don't have to do anything, just wait to see his jokes."
