"Brother, good things are coming soon. Let's not go home until we get drunk tonight."
Gongsun An asked people to bring the wine jar, and Chu Suiliang felt dizzy when he saw it. The saying "you won't come home until you're drunk" was nonsense. How could you not drink it and forget it?
As for the good things, he thought it was Gongsun An's slip of the tongue, and he was about to get a wife, so that meant good things were about to happen.
"You are a good brother who does good deeds. Who will get to me?" Chu Suiliang responded casually, thinking that he had just eaten something, otherwise it would have been uncomfortable to drink.
While pouring wine for him, Gongsun An said with a smile: "Brother, don't believe it. We have good news for you today. You are very smart. Why don't you guess what the good news is?"
Chu Suiliang thought for a moment about what good things he could do, then his eyes narrowed, and he said hesitantly: "Is it possible that the official department has accurate information and my dear brother knows about it?"
Gongsun An gave a thumbs up, "The eldest brother is thinking so fast. He guessed right. The younger brother saw that the eldest brother was busy all day long and it was really hard, so he looked for someone to inquire about the eldest brother. We got the news earlier today...
"
Chu Suiliang's heart was pounding, and he was murmuring in his heart, how could it be decided so quickly? Who made the effort, or was it already decided? If it didn't agree, could it be changed?
A series of questions came to his mind, so much so that he didn't dare to ask what his position was.
He has been an official for so many years and has encountered many bad lucks. He really doesn't dare to bet on how lucky he is.
Seeing his nervous look, Gongsun An smacked his lips and said to himself that this eldest brother is good at everything, but he is a bit obsessed with officialdom.
Being an official is a normal thing. If I get it, I will lose my life. Just look at it. Why do you do it like this? If you do that, your thoughts will not be clear.
This is how he can stand and talk without pain in his back. His official uniform came easily, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. How can anyone else compare to him?
This guy is also tricky. The more nervous you are, the more he wants to seduce you. As long as Chu Suiliang doesn't ask, he won't say anything.
After a moment, Chu Suiliang calmed down. He had been through a lot and was a little embarrassed by the sudden news, but he soon realized that worrying was useless.
It's not up to him to decide whether it suits him or not. If it's suitable, then celebrate it. If it doesn't work, he can only try his best. If he can adjust it, he can adjust it. If he can't, he can only accept it.
Looking at the half-smiling look on Gongsun An's face, he groaned in his heart. This guy he just made friends with is not very authentic. Not only is he a drunkard, he always wants to get him drunk, and now he actually wants to see his jokes.
He is truly unworthy of a man.
He rolled his eyes and was about to speak, but suddenly he came to his senses, raised his glass and said with a smile: "If I care, I will be confused. I will inevitably lose my temper, but I will make my dear brother laugh.
Since my dear brother said it was a good thing, it is not for my entertainment. I would like to offer you a drink first. Thank you very much for your troubles. I have only had a few drinks these days. My dear brother helped me to ask around. I can tell you about my dear brother at a glance.
Don't treat me like an outsider.
I won’t say much if I’m grateful. We have a long life ahead of us, and I won’t let my virtuous brother recognize me as his brother in vain.”
Gongsun An happily raised his wine glass and clinked it with him, "As you can see, my eldest brother and I hit it off immediately, so a little help is nothing. I just hope that my eldest brother won't blame me for being troublesome."
The two had a drink together, and Chu Suiliang asked: "My dear brother, please stop showing off and tell me what position you have assigned to me in the Ministry of Personnel."
Gongsun An said: "My subordinates are in charge of Shizhong. Are you satisfied with this position?"
An important position in the fifth rank... Chu Suiliang's ears were buzzing and his heart skipped several beats.
"How come...it's for Shizhong?"
It's not surprising that he is like this. Jinyang's imperial rank is at the lower level of the sixth rank. Due to the special position, it is half to one rank higher than the rank of ordinary officials.
After retiring from office, if you get an excellent score in the official examination and are recommended by others, you will be qualified for the positions of commander in chief, county magistrate, etc. The prefect is a fourth-grade official. If you don't have special merit or a strong background, you don't have to count on it.
If you join the imperial court as an official, your hope level will have to drop, or worse, you will be transferred at the same level, because Beijing officials are inherently more noble than foreign officials, and when Beijing officials are transferred to other places, as long as they are not derogatory, most of them will be promoted once.
If the situation is good, the foreign official will be promoted to half a level if he is transferred to the capital official position.
People like Chu Suiliang were asking for help everywhere, but what they were fighting for was actually the half-level difference. From the sixth rank to the sixth rank, they were also seeking positions in the six ministries, which involved real things, had great power and responsibilities, and were easy to achieve political achievements.
Chu Suiliang simply did not dare to aspire to a provincial position. No matter how small a provincial position was, it was still a prominent official. The first was to check virtue, the second was to check talent, and the third was to check qualifications.
It seems to be similar to selecting officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but if there is no qualified person to recommend, you don't have to think about ordinary officials.
Among them, the disciples are the most important. They are the emperor's personal followers and serve around him. No one dares to ignore them lightly.
No matter how the dynasties change, these rules in the officialdom will not change much.
Su Xu had told Chu Suiliang before that he complained that Chu Suiliang came back late. There were many vacancies among his subordinates before, so he could ask his brother for mercy and try to recommend him.
Chu Suiliang had been Xue Ju's general secretary back then, and after so many years of experience, he had no problem with his talent. What he lacked was actually someone's strong recommendation...
Now a piece of pie actually fell from the sky and hit Chu Suiliang on the head, which made Chu Suiliang feel dizzy.
…………
"I heard that the position was changed to a fifth-grade important position in the work. I just left the capital for many years. I don't know what his power is?"
In the Sui Dynasty, he was called "Geishilang". He was in the sixth rank and was responsible for refuting violations of official government orders. The history since the Qin and Han Dynasties is too complicated and needs no further explanation.
Li Yuan was renamed to Shizhong at that time, and he was also a sixth-grade official.
When the Tang Code was compiled in the early Tang Dynasty, the official position was designated as a fifth-rank official, which obviously increased the power and responsibilities of this position. Chu Suiliang had studied the Tang Code in Jinyang, and he knew all of this, but there must be something to do with the exact responsibilities.
It's a matter of entry and exit, so I have this question.
Gongsun An was not very interested in these things, but he had been in the capital for a long time and had been serving in the palace, so he could hear some news about everything.
"I also said it's not very good. He should be a regular servant of the Sanqi. It seems that his duties haven't changed much, right?"
In his opinion, staying with the emperor is just a matter of saying good things to make the emperor happy, and if something goes wrong, he has to defend his majesty.
His Majesty's handwriting is not very good, so he needs them to write for him. If he has anything to do, such as going out to the palace to "play", they must accompany him and not talk too much.
If His Majesty and his ministers disagree, these people from the Menxia Province will help the Emperor to quarrel.
Well, they are quite similar to those eunuchs in the palace...
How to put it, his understanding was correct. The Menxia Province originally evolved from the eunuch department, but it was not as unbearable as he imagined.
Chu Suiliang looked at Gongsun An helplessly. The people he had interacted with in the past were all very arrogant. Even an honest man like Yu Chang always talked about officialdom affairs with all his treasures.
How could he be as confused as Gongsun An...
So he asked in a more direct way, "Brother, do you know who recommended it to me?"
Seeing that he only talked and didn't drink, Gongsun An was a little unhappy. He clinked glasses and drank three glasses, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see that my eldest brother is so busy with this that he can't even drink happily. The past few days
So I went to ask Yuan Lingyin, does Brother Yuan Lingyin know?"
The rhythm of his speech always made people feel a little lacking, but Chu Suiliang had to think about it for a moment before hesitatingly said: "Brother Xian is talking about Yuen Long Yuan Shiming?"
Gongsun An nodded and said: "Yuan Lingyin loves talents the most. The Fang Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs once served as an aide to Yuan Lingyin, and we have a deep friendship with him. I also served as a bodyguard for Yuan Lingyin.
It was a coincidence that I happened to meet him when he entered the palace to meet the emperor, so I told him about the eldest brother. Yuan Lingyin went to the Ministry of Personnel, and the eldest brother's position was confirmed.
Yuan Lingyin also said that this matter is not difficult. The positions under the sect have not been filled before. Some people deliberately left a few as a favor. Today we occupy the first one and the one recommended is a talented and learned person like the eldest brother.
, others did not dare to say anything.
Brother, just take office with peace of mind, I just don’t know if it’s to your liking?”
Chu Suiliang: "..."
This is really called a willow in the dark and a flower in the dark, planting willows without intention...
What else could Chu Suiliang say? He could only raise his glass repeatedly and pour the wine into his mouth. Gongsun An drank happily and said: "I will go on duty in two days and take my eldest brother to see Yuan Lingyin."
.
Yuan Ling Yin recommends not many people, such as Fang Shilang, General Xu, Doctor Wei, etc., all of them have good intentions, and His Majesty trusts them very much. When I get to my eldest brother... well, I have to meet them in person."
Chu Suiliang nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, dear brother, I know it in my heart, and I will never let Yuan Lingyin say that he has lost his ability to recognize people."
That's not what he wants to think about now. He is very confident in his talents and knowledge, so paying a visit to Yuen Long is also part of the question.
What he was thinking was that before entering Beijing, he never thought that he would get an official position through Yuen Long.
He still knew who the Yuan Shiming was in Yuen Long. Su Shichang was appointed as the chief official in Jingzhao Mansion. He was also an old member of Tiance Mansion. He was a bachelor of literature and a military consultant. He was an old acquaintance with Chu Suiliang and others. At the same time, he was born
The martial arts Su family is from the Su Tong lineage, and he is the cousin of the brothers Su Dan and Su Xu.
Yuen Long was Su Shichang's immediate boss, maternal relative, nephew of Li Jing and Pharmacist Li, and cousin of the empress. It is said that he had been raised by the empress' side since he was a child, and he was extremely close to her.
Such relatives of the emperor and the country... Maybe they can do things that others can't do with all their efforts, just by using their words.
I just don’t know if there is anything dangerous about becoming someone’s disciple in a daze.
This is what officialdom is like, pie falling from the sky, if you want to try it you have to be mentally prepared to be poisoned.
Whoever you cling to has a lot of knowledge in it.
For example, if Yuen Long recommended Chu Suiliang, Chu Suiliang would have to think about what he should do in return in the future? Will he have to be driven by others? When Yuen Long recommended him to join the family, would he want to compete with others for power?
Therefore, he wanted to find out more about Yuen Long's character later on, and he couldn't just eat the pie without caring about it...
