"Second Master, Xu's Mansion sent a post saying that Xu Zhan was promoted to an official position, please Second Master come to Xu's Mansion to celebrate tomorrow..." A young servant walked up quickly, and respectfully handed over a beautiful invitation stick.
Xu Zhanshi is the younger brother of Xu Shangshu from the Ministry of War. Zhan Shi is currently the young master of Zhan Shifu. Like Murong Jian, he is a fourth-rank official. Unexpectedly, he was also promoted at this time.
"What official position has he been promoted to?" Murong Jian asked casually, and took the invitation card.
"I heard that it's Minister Taipusi!" The servant replied in a low voice.
"Prince Taipusi? Are you sure you heard correctly?" Murong Jian's eyes were cold.
The cold question pierced into the eardrums and hit the heart directly. The startled boy trembled and said stammeringly: "Send... the boy who sent the post... that's what he said..."
Murong Jian's eyes froze, he quickly opened the invitation card, and quickly browsed through the content on it, Qingjun's face became more and more gloomy, more and more gloomy...
"Isn't Taipusi the official position you want to be promoted to? Why did it become Xu Zhan's matter again?" Mrs. Du was also taken aback, and said cautiously: "Could it be a mistake?"
Murong Jian shook his head, his eyes darkened: "Every official in the court needs to go through the record of the Ministry of Households for promotion, there is absolutely no way to make a mistake!"
"Then why are you two allowed for an official position?" Mrs. Du frowned tightly: No matter how stupid people are, they all know that there can only be one official in an official position...
"One of Xu Zhanshi and I must have gotten the wrong news..." Murong Jian's eyes were dark: He must find out as soon as possible whether it was he or Xu Zhanshi who got the wrong news...
The servant hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I heard from the servant who delivered the invitation card... Xu Zhanshi has received the promotion document..."
"Really?" Murong Jian's sharp eyes narrowed sharply.
"The boy who sent the invitation...that's what he said..." The boy replied stammeringly, with a fine layer of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Murong Jian's handsome face was so dark that it was about to drip ink. How could he have forgotten that the promotion of an official is a happy event, and it is also a big event. Only after receiving the promotion document and confirming that he has been officially promoted, will he send out invitations and invite his colleagues to congratulate him...
The post from the Xu Mansion was sent to the Zhen Guohou Mansion, which is enough to prove that Xu Zhanshi has received a promotion document, and he is already the new Minister of the Imperial Palace...
"This...how could this be?" Du's eyes were full of anxiety, and his brows were tightly frowned.
Murong Jian was distraught, and he also wanted to know why this happened. Lord Wang and Lord Li had already recommended him to be Minister of the Imperial Palace, and even vowed to let him go back to the mansion, waiting for the documents to be issued tomorrow. The promotion document went down to the Xu Mansion today...
Mr. Wang and Mr. Li are trustworthy people, and they have a good relationship with him. They will never play tricks on him for no reason. Could it be that... his promotion was known by his enemies, so he obstructed it, and it will belong to his official position. What happened to Xu Zhanshi
"Song Tianwen! It's him, he must be the one who did it!" Murong Jian yelled angrily, with a chill in his eyes: When he was discussing the promotion with Mr. Wang and Mr. Li, Song Tianwen happened to pass by not far away. He must be Hearing their conversation, he blocked his promotion path just now, it's really hateful...
Du Shi was surprised, why did this matter have something to do with Song Tianwen again: "You didn't make a mistake?"
"Besides him, who else in the capital would deliberately suppress me?" Murong Jian was furious: Song Tianwen was burned beyond recognition by the fire, and became a useless person like a eunuch. He hated Xiaorou very much, but Xiaorou lived in In Zhen Guohou's mansion, the main gate is not out, and the second gate is not open. He couldn't find a chance to teach Xiao Rou, so he made things difficult for himself.
Song Tianwen is the Marquis of Wu'an. He has been operating in the capital for many years and has very good connections. Even if he is a useless person now, he still has good strength. But when he just returned to the capital, he has no connections and background, so he can easily trip him up. Son, blocking your own path to promotion...
"Song Tianwen is really disgusting!" Du Shi said bitterly, and looked up at Murong Jian: "Is there any other official position that can be promoted?"
Murong Jian shook his head: "There are always many people in the court, but few official positions. The position of the Minister of the Taipusi is vacant because the former Minister of the Taipusi retired and returned to his hometown..." As for the officials in other official positions, they are all in their 30s and 40s. Years old, people around his age, when they retired and returned home, he was about to resign from office to take care of himself...
Mrs. Du frowned tightly. If Jianer didn't get promoted, he would be a fourth-rank official, one level behind Murong Ye's third-rank official, and he didn't have enough strength and power to grab Murong Ye's position as Marquis of the State...
"Second Uncle's official position has been replaced by someone!" Murong Xue said with a smile, and there was a little imperceptible sarcasm in her dark eyes.
Du's complexion darkened in an instant, and she could hear clearly, and she asked more, obviously to humiliate them: "It was Song Tianwen who made a hindrance, and your second uncle was replaced in office, why do you gloat? ?”
"Song Tianwen's ability to move his hands and feet is enough to show that the second uncle's job is the same as that of others. He is not much better than others. If he has outstanding abilities and means, Song Tianwen can't count him. Let's go..." Murong Xue said casually, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of mockery.
Du Shi's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he yelled angrily, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I want to say that the civil service position that my step-grandmother likes is not very good. It is not as good as the military officer position in the military camp where my brother is. In terms of military merits, the military merits you make are yours. No matter how good others are, no matter how powerful they are You can't take it away, the official position that belongs to you will be placed on you honestly, and no one else can squeeze it away..." Murong Xue said with a smile, and there was an undisguised mockery in her cold eyes.
Du's old face instantly darkened, looking at Murong Xue's eyes, he was about to burst into flames with anger: "You said these words on purpose to annoy me..."
"Don't dare, I'm just telling the truth. Second uncle's oolong promotion experience is a good illustration of this point." Murong Xue smiled: "Being a civil servant is elegant and safe, but you don't have to pay too much. , Therefore, it is naturally difficult to be promoted. Being a military officer will hurt you, you will bleed, you will pay a lot, and you will naturally gain a lot... "
Don't pay, but still expect a smooth promotion and a fast promotion? How can there be such a cheap thing...
"You..." Du Shi choked, pointing at Murong Xue, too angry to speak.
Murong Xue turned a blind eye and looked around casually: "The decoration of the Hou's mansion is very beautiful. Although the second uncle will not be promoted, but my brother's promotion to the third-rank military general is also a great joy in the mansion. There is no need to tear down these arrangements. Hang a few more God, let's add some joy to the mansion..."
