387 The Ministry of Officials
"I really don't want to be separated from you." When parting, Qin Xiaoyao held Song Rui's hand and was reluctant to let go.
Song Rui looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a look of nostalgia on his face.
Reaching out and touching the side of his wife's face, Song Rui couldn't help but sigh.
"As a husband, I don't want to be separated from my wife."
"But just bear with it a little longer...it shouldn't take long."
The emperor's health became worse and worse.
Queen Jia's situation was not much better.
King Huaiyin could no longer hold back.
Various factions in the DPRK and China have been experiencing undercurrents during this period. There will be big moves soon.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Song Rui sadly, and then leaned into Song Rui's arms.
"How long do you have to endure it?" Then he asked with some frustration.
They are obviously a serious couple, but every time they meet they can only do it secretly, as if they are having an affair.
Now, one of them has just broken off their engagement, but they have found someone new.
One was rumored to be entangled with a young man who was born in a brothel.
Yes, Liu Ling helped her take care of business and was recognized by former customers of Yunxiangfang.
Those people knew that she had redeemed Liu Ling's body, and even had an unpleasant quarrel with Uncle Jia Guo because of this. They all speculated about her relationship with Liu Ling.
She didn't think anything about it.
But there were so many rumors that they inevitably spread to her family members and her husband-in-law.
The impact of this is not good.
"At most half a year." Song Rui's eyes moved and he said.
As long as the old fox believes in him more and gives him a little more support, time can go faster.
Qin Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Song Rui.
Seeing the confidence in his eyes, I felt more at ease.
It’s only half a year. It’s not a long time, so let’s wait a little longer...
In the blink of an eye, it’s ten days again.
As Song Rui expected, although several days had passed since Shen Rong's funeral, Shen Lian still failed to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Of course, it's not that Prime Minister Shen doesn't want to take Shen Lian into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Mrs. Shen, who originally agreed to Prime Minister Shen's conditions, delayed the time for Shen Lian to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although Prime Minister Shen was a little annoyed by this matter, he did not force Mrs. Shen to accept his arrangement.
Because of Shen Rong's death, the Queen and the Jia family cherished Mrs. Shen even more.
And now, because of Shen Rong's incident, the Queen and the Jia family have a lot of objections to him.
Now, taking Shen Lian into the house against the wind and pointing out Shen Rong's fiancé to Shen Lian will only make the rift between him, the Queen and the Jia family bigger and bigger.
The study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Do you know the news that the Prince of the Ministry of Personnel wants to become an official?" Shen Xiang put down the official document in his hand and looked up at Song Rui.
Song Rui raised his head and glanced at Shen Xiang.
Bow and salute.
"Come back to me, sir, I know something."
"The prince is already over sixty years old. This time his mother passed away at home, so he was planning to return to his hometown Dingyou."
"He has been serving as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for several years, but has made no progress. It is understandable that he would become an official at this time."
The Jin Dynasty stipulated that the mandatory age for officials to become officials was seventeen.
In fact, as long as officials do not take the initiative to resign, the court rarely urges people to take up official positions.
Wang Langzhong knew that he had no hope of promotion, and because his mother passed away at home, he had to return to his hometown to observe mourning for three years, so he proposed to become an official in advance.
As soon as he left, the position became vacant...
It is difficult to get into the civil service department, and the official position of a doctor in the civil service department is a fifth-grade official position. There are not a few people who are greedy at the moment.
Naturally, he was also greedy.
And even if the old fox didn't talk to him about it this time, he was still going to ask the old fox for help.
His qualifications are far from enough, but in the face of a strong enough background, qualifications and such are not important.
If the old fox can help him get promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs this time, he will have the right to recommend, appoint and remove some officials, which can be regarded as officially holding some power.
So, next, he will
It can better help King Huaiyin to make a layout.
Prime Minister Shen looked at Song Rui, smiled and nodded, his eyes showing appreciation.
"The position of the official doctor is very important, he must be one of ours."
"But the truth is, there is currently no suitable person to arrange for you to come over."
"On your side, if you are promoted to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it will be a good thing for you and the overall situation." Shen Xiang said.
Song Rui looked happy.
"Thank you, sir!" I quickly thanked you.
Prime Minister Shen raised his hand.
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."
The joy on Song Rui's face immediately subsided and he looked at Xiang Shen again.
Shen Xiang smiled and suddenly asked, "Madam, how often do you come to see you recently?"
Song Rui's face suddenly turned pale.
"My lord——" He quickly saluted Mr. Shen.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Xiang reached out to stop him.
"If you explain, there's no need."
"Because of Ronger's incident, Madam has some misunderstandings about the truth. The truth - I don't blame her."
"After all, she is the true wife, a direct daughter of the Jia family. Sooner or later, she will understand and know what to do."
He can understand that the Jia family and the Queen are dissatisfied with him right now.
They can also allow their wives to be a little more temperamental for a while, but sooner or later, they have to accept his bringing Lian'er into the house.
And as long as the Jia family and the Queen Mother acquiesce in this matter, his wife will no longer be able to keep her temper.
Xiang Shen said and looked at Song Rui.
"My wife is just a female. Although she is the direct daughter of the Jia family, she does not represent the Jia family."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
He really admires Song Rui and has high hopes for him.
I really hope that he has misunderstood the situation and thought that taking refuge in his wife means taking refuge in the Jia family and the Queen.
Song Rui quickly saluted Prime Minister Shen.
"Your Majesty, Song Rui is only loyal to you!"
"Song Ruiding will not dare to contact Madam again."
Prime Minister Shen nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face. He said, "That's not necessary."
"Madam asks you to do something. If it's reasonable, you still have to do it."
"However, for some things, you'd better know what to do." As he said that, Prime Minister Shen looked at Song Rui thoughtfully.
A flash of fluctuation flashed across Song Rui's eyes, and he quickly saluted again.
"Yes! If there is anything unusual at Madam's side, Song Ruiding will report it to you in time!" he said.
There was a look of satisfaction in Xiang Shen's eyes again. Talking to smart people saves effort.
Looking at Song Rui again, Shen Xiang had a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
"When Lian'er enters the house, I will put your marriage on the agenda."
"Having become the true son-in-law of Chenglong, in the future, above this court, the world will be yours and mine."
He really admires Song Rui and has high hopes for him.
At this critical moment, he just hoped that this kid would not stand in the wrong team and waste his efforts.
"Thank you, Sir!" Song Rui responded.
But he couldn't help but curse Xiang Shen in his heart.
First he was beaten with a big stick, and then he was given a sweet date.
The old fox is probably afraid that he will get closer to Mrs. Shen, and then seek refuge with the Jia family, and go against him.
They are quite good at painting, turning the court into their world...
Well, he is interested in exercising power, but he is not interested in exercising power with him...
And that Shen Lian, he is not interested.
"Yeah." Xiang Shen nodded..
Chapter completed!
