Chapter 99 Song Gongming's Life Choice (1)

"Shangshu Liu, I'm here to trouble you." Song Gongming used a formal official application when he appeared in Liu Chong's office, so he felt refreshed when he spoke.

Liu Meng specially put Song Gongming's application to the forefront. If it was to be sorted, Song Gongming could take pictures about three days later. Because he saw the changes in things with his own eyes, Liu Meng felt that he wanted to help Song Gongming a little. Many changes in things were completely beyond imagination, so that Liu Meng felt that Song Gongming was a little pitiful.

If it weren't for the remarks of the Minister of Revenue Sun Qing's remarks on the concept of loyalty to the emperor, this matter would probably have been delayed for a while. Sun Qing's words completely intensified the conflict and made the Zhao official family forcibly advance the process of the matter. This process also cut off the possibility of communication between Song Gongming and the Minister of Rites.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Meng asked as if he didn't know anything.

"Shangshu Xiong told me that the government had decided on his suggestion, so the personnel could not change. Since he said that, what else could I say? Everything I said was a joke." Song Gongming said with a wry smile.

By confirming what he heard with his previous judgment, Liu Meng confirmed that his judgment was probably correct, and Xiong Shang made neat use of the current situation.

"Then what are your intentions? Which department do you want to go to?" Liu Meng asked.

"When I arrive at Brother Liu, I can say anything else, brother. I will do whatever Brother Liu arranges for me." Song Gongming seemed to finally break free from the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and his attitude became relaxed.

"The original errands were all in charge of the left and right prime ministers, but now there are no left and right prime ministers, and the officials directly manage various departments. So the arrangement of errands has changed. The authority of the Ministry of Personnel has not changed much, mainly to assess officials." Liu Meng introduced his work scope.

"Then how can I have a new job? Do I just look for an official?" Song Gongming asked patiently.

This is the Song Gongming in Liu Meng's impression, reasonable. Liu Meng was actually a little confused. Why did Song Gongming get to that level in the Ministry of Rites? After letting go of these doubts, Liu Meng said: "The current situation is like this. Because officials and cadres in each system have all been classified under the same system, qualifications have become more important. What was your main work before you arrived at the Ministry of Rites?"

"Mainly doing education. After arriving at the Ministry of Rites, he was also responsible for some work related to the imperial examination." Song Gongming replied.

"Since that's the case, I suggest you apply to the newly established Ministry of Education." Liu Meng gave more professional advice.

Song Gongming thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Brother Liu, we now all departments determine positions, powers, responsibilities, and personnel. Then he proposed to the Ministry of Personnel that the Ministry of Personnel will be unified in the examination. Will I be troubled after I suddenly jumped?"

"You sign up first, and deal with whatever you encounter. Now you think about it without any mistakes, that's just a random thought." Liu Meng replied very simply. He didn't promise anything if he wanted to do this. Originally, Liu Meng felt that things were unpredictable. After seeing the case of Song Gongming, he even confirmed his thoughts.

"Okay. That's it." Song Gongming replied.

"Go to find Section Chief Zhao of the office, he will tell you how to write an application." Liu Meng said as he wrote a note to Song Gongming.

He found Section Chief Zhao with the note, and Song Gongming quickly completed the application procedures. After finishing all this, Song Gongming returned to the Ministry of Rites leisurely. Seeing the signboard of the Ministry of Rites, Song Gongming felt uncomfortable. He didn't expect that he would be defeated so easily by working hard for so long.

The conversation with Xiong Shang was very difficult. Xiong Shang did not give in to negotiations with Mongolia, and Song Gongming did not want to give in at all. In the end, the two parted ways in disagreement.

With such a boss, Xiong Shang no longer considered what development he could have in the Ministry of Rites. As for Xiong in the Ministry of Rites, he did not have the credit worthy of the Zhao Guan family, so how could he be promoted? As for other chores in the Ministry of Rites, he was all organized in various activities. In theory, this kind of activity could make some money, but everyone knows that the Zhao Guan family was not interested in false traps. This is not a good prospect. So Song Gongming was going to jump decisively while he was still making contributions.

Even after making such a decisive decision, Song Gongming was still very uncomfortable when he thought of leaving the Ministry of Rites as a loser. After entering the Ministry of Rites, he just walked to the door of his office and saw Su Yong and Du Zhen coming out of their office. Song Gongming knew that this young man would be the new envoy. Song Gongming did not hate these two young men. From all perspectives, these two men were qualified to go to negotiate. Their education was OK.

"Brother Song, can we invite you to dinner?" the two asked with a smile.

Song Gongming said readily: "Go to my office. I will tell you about my previous experience on missions."

The two of them didn't expect Song Gongming to be so easy to talk, so they hurriedly went into the office with him. At this time, they were afraid that Song Gongming would not help, so they moved chairs and poured water for him. Song Gongming did not hide his personal information, so they told them about his previous experience. After hearing the situation on the mission, the two young men nodded repeatedly, and Su Yong sighed: "I didn't expect to make so many preparations! I thought negotiations were just like the kind of way to do whatever I wanted."

"Don't read so many comments. Read more historical books. Look at the biographies of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po. How much preparations did Zhao State make for the Mianchi Association? With all preparations, Lin Xiangru dared to force the King of Qin to attack the siege. The so-called anger must be useful. If Mongolia does not take us seriously at all, you will be very aggressive and they will drive you away directly."

"Aren't you killed me?" Du Zhen was surprised by the level of civilization in Mongolia described by Song Gongming.

Regarding the young people's irrelevant imagination, Song Gongming smiled and said, "Mongolia attaches great importance to the safety of the envoys. As long as the envoys do not engage in assassination, they will not kill the envoys. And what is the use of killing you to the Mongolians? You have done nothing, and you have lost your etiquette there. Do you think you can still have a future?"

Su Yong replied: "It turns out that it is not that dangerous to go on a mission. I thought Mongolia was so barbaric. If they argued with them for a few words, they would kill people in anger. They dare not kill the envoys of the Song Dynasty, just because our Song Dynasty could revenge Mongolia."

"This is of course a reason. But don't think about this kind of thing that has happened. In the current situation, you just need to do your own things well. Only when the court has a goal will it send an envoy..."

In the next two days, Song Gongming taught everything he knew to the two young men. Anyway, he was ready to leave, so why bother to hide his own private matters? Song Gongming had an objection to Xiong Shang, but had no objection to the Ministry of Rites.
