Chen Qingxuan is only twenty-four years old. Just a year ago, he was just a poor scholar in Ninggu Pagoda, but now he is a first-rank official. Became the Minister of Humerus of Great Zhou, Zhong Mingwei's trust and reliance on him is self-evident. Naturally, Chen Qingxuan also knew how Zhong Mingwei tried his best to get him to sit on the seat of Minister of Rites, so he was really grateful to Zhong Mingwei from the bottom of his heart.
"There's no need to be grateful to me. If you're just an idiot, I won't promote you," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile while patting Chen Qingxuan's arm. Pointing to the chair behind him, "Sit down and talk to me."
"Yes." Chen Qingxuan sat down. He watched Zhong Mingwei close the booklet in his hand and put it aside, then took another book and continued to critique the booklet, he pursed his lips. In the end, I still couldn't hold back. asked in a low voice. "Long Live Lord, if... If Weichen was not familiar with Long Live Lord before and did not worship under Mr. Ding, then would Long Live Lord... still use Wei Chen so much?"
This is what Chen Qingxuan has always wanted to ask Zhong Mingwei. As a courtier, he is grateful for Zhong Mingwei's promotion and reuse, but as a scholar. He also had his own persistence and arrogance, so I was afraid that the reason why Zhong Mingwei reused him was because of his affection more than his approval, so he hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.
Hearing what he said, Zhong Mingwei raised his head and glanced at Chen Qingxuan, then lowered his head and continued to critique papers. When Chen Qingxuan was uneasy, he heard Zhong Mingwei say in a slow voice: "Qingxuan, what do you think of Fang Kaiwen?"
"Fang Kaiwen?" Chen Qingxuan was startled, not knowing how Zhong Mingwei mentioned Fang Kaiwen in such a good manner, and immediately said hurriedly, "Fang Kaiwen is a descendant of a famous family, and he is upright and loyal, but he is a descendant of loyalty. "
"Is that all?" Zhong Mingwei asked, throwing the booklet aside and putting down the writing brush in his hand, then leaned on the chair and looked at Chen Qingxuan, "So in your eyes, Fang Kaiwen is Can't you be perfect?"
"Of course not," Chen Qingxuan said in astonishment. He didn't know why Zhong Mingwei asked these questions, but he still bit the bullet and said, "Fang Kaiwen was deeply influenced by his father and has excellent character, but he is a bit pedantic and old-fashioned. Although talented, he is trapped by his temperament, so his ability is insufficient."
"So I promoted him to serve as a sacrificial wine from the Sipin Guozijian," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, while reaching out to hold the teacup in his hand, he said in a deep voice, "Although he is a loyal queen, he is not capable enough. He will not be reused because of winning people's hearts, but choose a position that suits his ability and temperament so that he can act steadily." Having said this, Zhong Mingwei cast his eyes on Chen Qingxuan, "Qingxuan, in the same way, I am also I feel that you can afford the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, so I will use you. I have never been stingy with people around me, but I am not so generous that I can arrange the position of a first-rank official at will."
"Yes, I understand," Chen Qingxuan bowed hurriedly, "It's because I'm worrying too much, please forgive me, Lord Long Live."
"If you worry too much, it shows that you are arrogant. I'm afraid that I'm a selfish person. Qingxuan, I just like your arrogance." Zhong Mingwei patted Chen Qingxuan's shoulder with a smile, and said while letting him sit down. , "But Qingxuan, I still have to pretend to be a public servant for a while."
"What?" Chen Qingxuan was startled, not understanding Zhong Mingwei's words.
"Tomorrow morning, you can go back to Ninggu Pagoda with Wen Min," Zhong Mingwei said, seeing Chen Qingxuan opened his mouth to speak, Zhong Mingwei shook his hand to silence him, and then continued to say in a deep voice, "Also It's this year, and I won't allow you to go back to Ninggu Pagoda in the future, Grandma Chen has longed for you to go back to Ninggu Pagoda, and this year is the first year that Grandma Chen left, Qingxuan, go back," said Here, Zhong Mingwei patted Chen Qingxuan on the shoulder again and said, "Qingxuan, pay homage to Grandma Chen on behalf of me and the girl."
