Whatever you want, you must be prepared for what you lose.

Since Zhao Kuangyi wanted to compete for this first achievement, he had to feed the others first and let them give up the task of attacking Sizhou.

Perhaps Zhao Er's martial arts value is not very good, but when he is playing politically scheming, he can still rank among the generals.

He pulled and fought, and after a few rounds, he comforted Han Qinhu, the powerful opponent who wanted to fight for Sizhou. It was Xu's advantage, and he grabbed several allies. The remaining guards could not compete with him even if they wanted to fight.

After deciding the tactics of the Zuowei Guard to capture Sizhou, the other nine guards continued to travel to Xuyi. After the military arts class, the generals left the big tent and took the knowledge of military arts to their own tents...

The army will be able to reach Sizhou in a few days, so you must be alert at this time.

At least the first battle has to be beautiful.

Because this is not only their war, but also the attention of everyone in the world...

Imperial City, Ministry of Rites.

Li Gefei reported to him yesterday. He had just arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and he was naturally confused when facing these messy official duties.

He had never held an official position other than a school official before, so it was naturally a bit difficult to deal with. He worked hard all day yesterday before he could barely handle most of the time.

Therefore, after finishing Mao this morning, Li Gefei re-entered his busy work.

The priest in the temple where he is specialized in charge of various sacrifices. It sounds like a leisurely yamen, but in fact it is not at all.

There are more than 80 palace sacrifices, divided into three levels: large sacrifices, middle sacrifices and group sacrifices. The large sacrifices are the emperor's personal sacrifices, and some of the middle sacrifices are the emperor's personal sacrifices, and most of them are the officials' sacrifices. The group sacrifices are the officials who will sacrifice on behalf of the emperor.

Maybe I will sacrifice something today, and I will sacrifice something tomorrow.

Yuanwailang was the deputy assistant of the doctor and the second in command of the entire temple priest. Li Gefei was naturally busy.

In addition, the entire Ministry of Rites is busy now, and the ritual department is busy. The ritual department is busy, so their brothers' yamen naturally have to help share the burden. So today, Li Gefei is still busy and doesn't even have time to eat breakfast. He just asked Guanglu Temple to send a bowl of plain noodles.

Although it's tasteless, it's okay.

The messy things of the Ministry of Rites are wrapped around the heart like twine. Even if you eat delicacies from mountains and seas, it will be as delicious as chewy.

After eating a bowl of vegetarian noodles that were not salty, Li Gefei was not ready to rest, so he picked up the document and continued reading.

But unexpectedly, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

Li Gefei looked up and found that he didn't know the person he came, but he immediately walked out from behind the table and bowed to bow.

"Secretary Li Gefei, I have met the adults."

It was just because the person who came was wearing a scarlet red official robe and had a peacock patch on his chest.

Based on this alone, we know that this person is a third-rank official.

“It’s right.”

The third-rank official had a very kind and friendly attitude, and said with a smile: "Sir Li, have you adapted to it in the past two days after he arrived at the Ministry of Rites?"

"Secretary..." Li Gefei hesitated a little.

I don’t know what you are doing yet, so I asked about the Ministry of Rites when I came up?

Seeing him like this, the man suddenly laughed and immediately explained: "I am the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Song Qiaonian."

"It turned out to be the Songbu Hall." Li Gefei bowed and bowed.

Logically speaking, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, the first thing he did after taking office was not to do anything else, but to visit three officials.

However, the three of them were so busy that they were not in the yamen for a day yesterday, and Li Gefei didn't take it to pay a visit.

But on the other hand, Song Qiaonian was very dissatisfied with Li Gefei's attitude.

He thought that Li Gefei would immediately bow to him respectfully when he learned his identity, but he didn't expect that the old boy's attitude was so dull?

This made Song Qiaonian feel like he punched into cotton, and his mood of pretending to be impatient suddenly became empty.

You should know that the Ministry of Rites has a total of four Qing officials, namely: the Yishi Department, the Temple Priest, the Master and the Food Department, and the Essence Department. There are two attendants, left and right, so one attendant is in charge of two Qing officials.

The most important thing in the ritual system is that it has always been the forbidden body of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The priests who were second-class in the temple will naturally become the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

It can be said that Song Qiaonian, the right assistant minister, is Li Gefei's most intrinsic boss.

Now that I see such a strong boss, I am not so nervous and trepidated, and my attitude is no different from that just now?

After Li Gefei gave the ceremony, he stood up and said, "My Lord Huimen, now the Xiaguan has just arrived at the Ministry of Rites. He is now in the midst of all kinds of twine, and he has not yet figured out his clues."

He had no intention of working in the position of the Ministry of Rites for too long. Maybe one day when His Majesty the Emperor saw that he was ignorant, he would just find an excuse to dismiss him.

With this premise, why do you still bow your head to your boss?

What's more, Li Gefei also felt that he was not the kind of servile person.

If he was really an official fan, he would have gone to Qin Hui to go to camp long ago. Is there still a need to see Song Qiaonian's face now?

However, all this was a great provocation in Song Qiaonian's eyes.

He is worthy of being a relative of Qin Hui, and his bones are just hard!

Song Qiaonian laughed and was about to say something else, but a clerk suddenly ran out from outside and asked, "Is Siguan Li here?"

But he was looking at Song Qiaonian who had turned around, frightened the little clerk so much that his eyes widened, and hurriedly lowered his head: "The officials have met the master of the ministry..."

The priest of the temple was named Zhou, so this Li Siguan must refer to Li Gefei.

"Here." Li Gefei looked at the clerk.

"Wang Zongbo is invited." The little clerk lowered his head and said.

Song Qiaonian immediately frowned.

If he is Li Gefei's iron boss, then Wang Mang is his iron boss of Song Qiaonian.

"Mr. Master?" Li Gefei looked at Song Qiaonian.

"Haha, since it's a invitation from the Grand Priest, then Sergeant Li should not delay any further. It's better to go there quickly."

Song Qiaonian turned his head and immediately changed into a smiley face.

"Master Xie Butang."

After Li Gefei bowed to thank him, he followed the little clerk to Wang Mang's duty room.

Before he could knock on the door and ask for a meeting, a thick voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Li Gefei was stunned and pushed open the door of the duty room and went in. He saw a strong man in a robe sitting behind the table, with a big bearded face without anger.

"The lower official Li Gefei has met Da Zong Bo."

This world is a world that looks at the face. People say that people should not behave like appearance. However, in actual situations, there are many things that judge people because of appearance.

To put it directly, when you take the imperial examination, you will not only take articles, but also look, which is the so-called "herdsmen must have official appearances, but no official appearances, no official power."

Therefore, when you are admitted, there is an additional condition, which is actually an inevitable condition, which is to have a good appearance and complete six palaces.

For example, the first level is the face with the character "Guo" and the face with the character "Jia" and the face with the character "Shen"; the second level is the face with the character "Tian" and the face with the character "Yu". These faces with the official hat will be considered official. If parents are not kind and give birth to a face with the character "Nai", no matter how well the article is written... I'm sorry, I won't have your share.

If you are disabled or those with incompetent legs and feet, not to mention being defeated, you can’t even pass the registration level. Isn’t this the biggest way to judge people by their appearance?

Li Gefei was a famous handsome guy when he was young, with his talent and appearance as well as his capital. Otherwise, Wang Gui, the then prime minister, would not have married his eldest daughter to him.

Now that Li Gefei is older, the few long beards left under his jaw have added a bit of elegance and maturity to him.

Wang Mang has read his works these days and has been with him for a long time. Now, seeing him again, his eyes lit up.

"Come here, Li Siguan."

He looked up and down at Li Gefei and said with a smile: "Your name is Uncle Wen? I will call you Uncle Wen from now on."

Li Gefei just sat down with his butt and was stunned.

He didn't expect that he would be treated like this by a dignified minister.

A person has a name, a character, and a number.

The name is called for the elders, the word is called for the peers, and the number is called for the younger generation.

Now that Wang Mang is an elder, the word "Who is willing to call him" is a sign of respect. The dignified Zong Bo even calls himself myself, rather than his own official, which shows the full meaning of friendship.

"Wang Zongbo, the official..."

Li Gefei doesn't believe that there is such a big good thing in the world. How can an ordinary young man be treated like a grand master?

Wang Mang didn't care and even made a little joke that was lively: "Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen, when I called you this word, I always felt like you took advantage of it."

"It's enough for the Lord to call the title of the official." Li Gefei couldn't guess Wang Mang's thoughts, so he naturally did not dare to overthrow it.

Wang Mang chuckled and shook his head, pointing to the thick stack of books that were opened on the table: "No need to be restrained, it is human to say that you have a word. I have read many works by Uncle Wen these days."

"So you and I are not strangers, but have long been friends with each other."

This reminded Li Gefei. He still remembers that in the Ziwei Hall Political Affairs Hall that day, His Majesty the Emperor had clearly stated that Wang Mang, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was a person who liked ancient rituals, and asked the two to communicate and discuss more.

Could it be that it is because of the works?

Li Gefei was stunned for a moment, and then his mentality improved a little.

Any author will be happy if his work is appreciated.

With Wang Mang, Shangguan's deliberate approaching, two officials who studied ancient rituals quickly talked about the same thing...

Of course, the meeting was not smooth, because the two people had some differences in their views.

After a while, Wang Mang's face turned red with anger and he was glaring at him. Li Gefei was not afraid of him, but instead fought with him with his neck, and he was quite afraid of being afraid of heaven and earth.
To be continued...
