Putting on a vermilion official uniform and an official hat, Kou Ji gained some power, a power unique to the central government officials.
Kou Zhong looked at Kou Ji in a vermilion official uniform, and exclaimed: "The young master wears this suit, so energetic... The old servant remembers that when the master put on this suit, he was almost thirty..."
Kou Ji also nodded with satisfaction: "It's a little official, much better than that toad robe."
Kou Zhong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words.
The toad robe that Kou Ji disliked in his mouth could not be worn by others.
After Kou Ji was neatly dressed, he took the Chaohuo and got on the official sedan and walked to Donghuamen.
He didn't accompany Kou Zhun to the court together. The heavier Kou Zhun is now, the better his treatment.
Every day when the upper court came, there would be an eunuch in the palace who personally rushed to Kou's Mansion and carried him into the palace.
The same is true after the next dynasty.
It is said that a side hall was vacated in the palace for Kou Zhun to live, not far from Zhao Zhen's bedroom.
Kou Ji arrived at Donghuamen. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, some low-ranking officials greeted him, climbing Kou Ji one by one to say some compliments.
They were still condemning Kou Ji in the courtroom before, and now they never mention Kou Ji's murder in Baozhou, they just kept saying good things.
Kou Ji dealt with a few words casually, and found Xiang Minzhong, Wang Zeng, and Li Di to chat.
When the officials saw Kou Ji walked into a circle that was unattainable for them, they did not dare to appear in front of him again.
The four chatted for a while, and the topic was withdrawn from Xiang Minzhong to the woodcarving frog.
Asked the old man Kou Ji in a weird tone, "Boy, I heard that you gave the old man's second granddaughter a small thing?"
"Yeah! A wood-carved frog has made a little mechanism and can move..."
"I didn't give it to the old man's granddaughter?"
Xiang Lao's tone became more and more weird.
Kou Ji blinked his eyes and said seriously: "Got it?"
Xiang Lao coughed and said quietly: "Why didn't the old man see?"
"Maybe she was hiding and didn't show it to you."
"Ahem..."
Xiang Lao coughed again, and said solemnly: "Boy, I remember that when you wrote to the old man's granddaughter, you wrote a story about a prince and a frog."
Kou Ji was a little confused.
The old man Xiang stared at him and said seriously: "The second granddaughter of the old man, I have already agreed to someone last year. Don't think badly, you kid..."
Kou Ji was even more confused. Seeing Wang Zeng and Li Di looking at him with weird expressions, Kou Ji knew that these two old men wanted to be crooked too.
As soon as he was about to explain, he heard Wang Zeng faintly said: "Boy, you can't be too greedy..."
Li Di hummed, "Sisters take it all, be careful that you have broken your teeth."
Having said that, Li Di also looked at Kou Ji Yi and said with a look of disgust: "The old man thought that your kid was a gentleman, but he didn't expect that he was also a gold and jade product amongst other defeats."
Kou Ji hurriedly explained: "I just gave a wooden frog, I didn't do anything."
Xiang Minzhong hummed: "What else do you want to do?"
Li Di and Wang once looked at Kou Ji, and that was the same in their eyes.
Kou Ji said angrily: "I didn't just give away a wood-carved frog. I made several and sent them together."
Li Di disdainfully said, "Why don't you see you send a wooden frog to the old man's house?"
Wang Zeng said lightly: "The old man also has grandchildren."
Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly, Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Send, send, send, turn around and send a car to each of you at the mansion."
Li Di and Wang Zeng nodded in satisfaction, "It's almost..."
Xiang Minzhong stretched out two fingers and said faintly: "Two cars?"
"What about blackmail?"
"There are so many concubines..."
Kou Ji realized that he seemed to be deceived by the cooperation of the three old men after the three old men had passed the Jinshui Bridge leisurely.
It must be the second sister of the Xiang family who got the woodcarving frog and took it out to show off.
The juniors in Wang and Li's two houses met, and one by one, the two old men asked for it.
The two old men couldn't let go of their faces and begging for something with Kou Ji and a junior, so they set up a set for him.
"These old guys are just idle..."
Kou Ji complained, and followed them across the Jinshui Bridge to the Chuigong Hall.
Zhao Zhen sits high on the dragon chair, Kou Zhun sits under him, and Chen Lin carefully waits on the side.
Baiguan entered the Chuigong Hall, and after giving salutes as usual, the early dynasty began.
Yu Shi grabbed Zhao Zhen's previous absence from the court and said something humorously.
Then Kou Zhun said that the matter was revealed and he didn't need to mention it again, so he closed his mouth.
Then began to recommend candidates to participate in political affairs.
There were few twists and turns in the selection of candidates for political affairs, and Li Di and Wang Zeng were finally selected.
In the end, Kou Zhun decided that the position of participating in the political affairs fell to Wang Zeng.
After the candidates for political affairs were finalized, the hundred officials withdrew for a while to abolish the Xiang army.
Then amid Kou Zhun's impatient reprimands, the hundred officials left the Chuigong Hall and went back to their respective yamen to handle government affairs.
For the first time, Kou Ji rushed to the staff office to go to work.
When I walked to the official office gate, I saw the gatekeeper dozing off.
Kou Ji didn't meet them regularly, and quietly entered the bureaucratic office.
Then I saw the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, large and small, get together, drinking tea and having fun.
From time to time, someone will get up, chant a poem and make a ded.
A group of people were playing happily, even if Kou Ji arrived, they didn't see it.
They didn't realize that Kou Ji had arrived until Kou Ji came to them.
They all knew Kou Ji, so after seeing Kou Ji, they hurriedly got up and said, "The officials and others have seen Kou Shilang."
Kou Ji looked at them around and asked, "Who are you guys, who are you?"
They didn't conceal it either, one by one they started reporting their homes.
In addition to the name given, he will also bring along the list of scholars he is in, what rank and so on.
Some who have some status in the literary world will also cryptically reveal their famous works and other things.
Kou Ji waited for them to introduce themselves, then nodded and asked: "You don't need to do anything?"
They were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't panic. They all spoke frankly, saying that the officials had nothing to do.
Hearing this, Kou Ji really wanted to give them a thumbs up and praise them one by one.
A dignified national staff, in control of the promotion schedule of hundreds of thousands of officials in a country, will there be nothing to do
amazing!
Although the staff had no authority before, they had nothing to do.
But since the censorship department collapsed, the staff has more or less grabbed some power, so how can there be nothing to do
Kou Ji was speechless by these salty fish, and he didn't bother to waste time on them.
"Where is Wang Shangshu?"
"After the dynasty, you should go to the public house yard to enjoy the cold, right?"
Kou Ji heard this and turned around to find Wang Qinruo.
Kou Ji searched around the Xingbu Yamen and finally found Wang Qinruo in a remote public house.
Wang Qinruo hugged the hip flask, lying on Hu**, under a blanket, sleeping soundly.
A gust of cool breeze came from the air vent next to the public house, which was very refreshing.
Seeing this, Kou Ji frowned.
He didn't know that Wang Qinruo was like this on weekdays, or he knew that he was coming today, and gave him a slap in the face.
He stood in front of Wang Qinruo's Hu bed and said, "Xiaguan Kou Ji, I have seen Wang Shangshu."
Kou Ji called out three times in a row, but Wang Qinruo didn't see any movement.
The corner of his mouth twitched, he squatted down slightly, found one of Hu's rivets, stabbed it with a hairpin, and quietly pulled it out and tucked it into his cuff.
Then he quietly withdrew from the public housing office and walked to the place where the group of officials gathered.
She hid in the corner and shouted, "Wang Shangshu is down..."
Upon hearing this, a group of local officials yelled and screamed, rushing out of the public house where Wang Qinruo was.
A group of them rushed over, shouting and screaming, naturally awakening Wang Qinruo who was sleeping.
As soon as Wang Qinruo opened his eyes, he saw a group of officials huddling in front of his bed.
"What are you doing in front of the old lady's bed? Don't you need to do anything?"
"Shang Shu, we don't have to do anything, you forgot?"
"Oh! The old man has forgotten, our staff don't have much power... Why do you all get to the old man's bed?"
"Back to Shangshu, some people say that you have rolled down from Hu**."
When Wang Qinruo heard this, he cursed: "Nonsense, isn't this good old man?"
"Get out of the way to the old man! By the way, let the old man find out, which god is cursing him? The old man is going to swallow him alive!"
Seeing that Wang Qinruo was indeed okay, a group of officials from the local government fled the place one by one, berating Wang Qinruo.
Sitting on Hu**, Wang Qinruo said gloomily: "Don't let the old man catch you, or it will definitely make you worse off than death."
Wang Qinruo sat up slowly.
"Gaba..."
A soft sound came into his ears.
He sat up straight and listened, but did not hear another sound.
He continued to get up, one foot just about to step off the Hu bed.
"Boom..."
Hu's bed collapsed.
Wang Qinruo collapsed to the ground with Hu's bed, rolled smoothly twice, and stopped after hitting the corner of the wall.
He had gold stars in his eyes, his eyes were black, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to get up on his stomach.
"Help... Save the old man..."
Wang Qinruo kept calling for help on the ground, but nobody paid him any attention.
It wasn't until a long time that a small official came in to report to him, only to see him lying on the ground shivering.
"Wang Shangshu is down!"
The little official shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were skeptical.
An official sent a small official to the public house to take a look, only to know that this time is true.
As a result, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs once again flocked to the public house where Wang Qinruo was.
When they arrived, Wang Qinruo had fainted.
They hurriedly sent people to protect Wang Qinruo, and then sent someone to call for an imperial doctor.
After the imperial doctor arrived and treated Wang Qinruo, he prescribed a prescription to Wang Qinruo.
He also told the nervous officials who stood aside: "Wang Shangshu is not a serious problem, but he is getting older. He suddenly fell over his body and felt a little overwhelmed. After a period of bed rest, he would be fine."
At this moment, Wang Qinruo woke up quietly, and when he heard the words of the imperial doctor, he yelled anxiously: "The old man didn't fall down suddenly. Someone wanted to murder the old man!"
Upon hearing this, the imperial doctor said something nice to the smiling face. After turning around and leaving the public house, Limara lowered his face.
Secretly scolded his mother.
Everyone who is a high official has the heart! An ordinary fall, it must have something to do with the undermined!
If they really want to harm you, they won't choose to be in the bureaucratic office.
In a place like the bureaucratic yamen, it is a serious crime to undermine the imperial order official.
Not only did the imperial doctors think so, but even the officials of the staff department thought so.
They followed Wang Qinruo's thoughts and made Wang Qinruo happy. They immediately sent people to the palace, found Wang Qinruo's descendants, and carried Wang Qinruo back to the palace to recuperate.
As for Wang Qinruo's account of investigating the people behind him, no one cares at all.
It seemed to them that Wang Qinruo fell down purely because he himself was old and his legs were not working well, and it had nothing to do with other people.
After all, during the period when Wang Qinruo fell, he was the only one in the public house and no one else.
Could others still harm him in the dark
No one connected this matter to Kou Ji.
Because the officials of the staff department watched Kou Ji leave, after Kou Ji left, they rushed to Wang Qinruo's public house and saw that Wang Qinruo was fine.
So they naturally think that this matter has nothing to do with Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't know about Wang Qinruo's fall.
He dug the pit. If Wang Qin can fall into the pit he dug, he is not sure.
Today, he went around in the bureaucratic office and was extremely disappointed in the bureaucratic office and the inaction of the officials.
When I arrived at the public house and saw Wang Qinruo, who was more salty than salted fish, he was naturally a bit angry.
He called out a few times, and Wang Qinruo ignored him again, which made him feel bad.
After leaving the bureaucratic office, Kou Ji rushed back to the Kou Mansion.
I went to the yard where the craftsmen were, and instructed them to make some of the woodcarved frogs they sat yesterday, and send them to the three residences of Xiang, Wang and Li.
Then he changed into casual clothes and went to Hui Xiang Yan in Orchid Garden outside the city.
He didn't return to his house until the evening.
Once back to the mansion, Kou Zhun called him over.
Kou Zhun asked the kitchen to cook a table of food, and asked Kou Ji to sit down and eat some with him.
After I was full, I asked, "How do you feel when I went to the official department today?"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, looked at Kou Zhun, and asked, "To tell the truth?"
"Ok!"
"Rotten! It sucks! A group of people who are in charge of the promotion and scheduling of hundreds of thousands of officials in the world are like a group of idlers.
Those who eat, drink, play, chant poems and compose fuss, drunk and sleep soundly, have everything, but none of them do business.
If they are so, what about the officials who are in their hands
Every year, officials from various places sent to the imperial court in various places do not review their political achievements and wind reviews.
Don’t others treat this as a huge loophole
If I were a foreigner, I didn't need to do anything. I just need to make enough money and give it to Shangguan, let him help me say a few good things to the court, and I can get promoted. "
Hearing Kou Ji's words, Kou Zhun nodded slowly and said, "So you were so angry that you murdered Wang Qinruo?"
