Meng Lingxi pursed her lips, "In fact, it is not difficult to guess that this should be Su Yizhao's handiwork. He is the only one who likes to take the wrong approach."
"This boy from the Su family is really powerful. Even though he smiles when he sees others, he is actually a smiling tiger. The intestines in his belly are probably very twisted. I didn't expect that Su Jinxun would be able to get a...
A chance to turn around."
E Chongming was very emotional, who would be overjoyed to have such a monster come out, right?
Meng Lingxi glanced at E Chongming, and then asked: "You just said that Mr. Liu could not agree to him. What did you mean?"
"It's just a fifth-grade official position, but it's actually not that important. But now there are three factions in the court. The third prince has been at a disadvantage in the past two years and urgently needs to install his own people in the court."
E Chongming looked at the chess game in front of him. The whole chessboard was confusing and it was not clear yet.
"But you said Mr. Su went to see Mr. Liu, then does Mr. Liu think that the Su family intends to surrender? After weighing the pros and cons, he might really choose the Su family, right?"
Meng Lingxi had to admit that compared to Su Yizhao, other people were naturally not that important.
E Chongming looked at his beloved disciple with admiration, Xi'er had also improved more and more in the past two years.
"Liu Shuyun might have offered this position in order to win over the Su family before, but he had promised this position long ago."
When Meng Lingxi saw her teacher smiling with an incomprehensible expression, she curiously asked: "Who are you promising?"
"Chen Li, a doctor in the household department who has been at home for three years, will be waiting for a vacancy. Do you know this person?"
E Chongming only focused on the chess game in front of him, but Meng Lingxi's mind was no longer on the chess game.
"Students know Chen Li a little bit. He was a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue for three years. I heard that there was something wrong with the military pay accounts at the border. Therefore, the emperor sent people to the border to check and uncovered the case of embezzlement of military pay at the border."
E Chongming nodded, "That's right! Chen Li came from the Chen family, a newly wealthy family in the previous dynasty. After the first emperor established the dynasty, the Chen family lost its reputation. Chen Li is a very capable person. He won the second place in the first class in his weak years. In ten years,
Then he was promoted to the rank of Doctor of the Ministry of Finance."
"This man made great contributions to the case of embezzling military pay. He was originally going to be promoted. Unexpectedly, his old father died of a serious illness, so he returned to his ancestral home in Dingyou. Now three years have passed, and it is time for him to come out of the mountain."
Meng Lingxi was a little confused. Before that, E Chongming went to Mr. Liu and sent a message, saying that he wanted to help him find a vacancy as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs?
However, it was hard for him to ask about this matter, otherwise the teacher would definitely think that he was too ambitious and ambitious.
E Chongming had actually seen Meng Lingxi's doubts. He smiled and said, "But why should I recommend you before I become my teacher?"
Meng Lingxi nodded sheepishly, "Please ask the teacher to clarify my doubts."
"Because I am a teacher, I want you to take this position. My disciple cannot fall behind others. Su Yizhao has Su Jinxun to help him plan. My disciple cannot be unknown. As a teacher, I should support you."
E Chongming snorted coldly, but Meng Lingxi hesitated to speak.
In fact, he believed that Su Yizhao became the Prime Minister of Dali Temple because of his own contribution.
"But didn't you just say that Chen Li was going to return to the court? Mr. Liu has already promised."
"Liu Shuyun has promised, but he may not be able to come! As long as Chen Li doesn't come, then you have a chance."
E Chongming smiled kindly, but Meng Lingxi suddenly felt cold from his feet and trembled a little.
"You! You mean?"
Sensing Meng Lingxi's fear, E Chongming said seriously: "Xi'er, this is officialdom, real officialdom. I hope you can adapt to it as soon as possible. If nothing else, Su Yizhao has adapted very well."
He pointed at the chessboard with his finger, "This man is ruthless. The rise of him and the Su family has always been based on bones. Every time he makes a move, there will be turmoil in the court, and many aristocratic families will fall overnight."
The shock in Meng Lingxi's heart could not be greater at this moment, yes! Why didn't he feel it before?
How many aristocratic families in the capital were affected during this period? The loss of power of the two princes was all related to him.
"But Mr. Liu may not agree. The student is only a seventh-grade official now."
E Chongming smiled, knowing that it was right to use Su Yizhao to motivate Meng Lingxi.
"What are you afraid of at the seventh level? If you can achieve a great feat like Su Yizhao and exert pressure as a teacher, Liu Shuyun will have to agree."
Meng Lingxi immediately looked at E Chongming, "Great credit?"
E Chongming smiled mysteriously and said, "Master, I have already made arrangements."
"Su Shangshu is a rare visitor. It's really wonderful to visit our Liu Mansion today!"
Liu Shuyun gave Su Jinxun a heart-breaking smile. Before the third prince wanted to win over the Su family, he had given Su Jinxun explicit hints several times, but Su Jinxun refused to accept it, which made him very angry.
"Oh! Liu Shangshu is too polite. I came uninvited. Please don't blame Liu Shangshu."
Liu Shuyun cursed in his heart. In the past, when I invited you to come, you didn't come to avoid suspicion. Today, you came because of your son, and you said that I didn't invite you to come? It's really a shame.
"I wonder why Su Shangshu is here?" Liu Shuyun said straight to the point.
"Oh! It's a bit embarrassing to say this. It's just for the unsatisfactory third son." Su Jinxun sighed as he spoke, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Oh? Why did Su Shangshu say this?" Liu Shuyun secretly laughed in his heart, but pretended to be confused on his face.
"I heard that there is a vacancy in the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so I am here to recommend my son. I do not avoid relatives when promoting talents. My son has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years. Do you think?"
Liu Shuyun didn't expect Su Jinxun to say it so directly. He came to ask for an official position, and he wanted it for his son. He really admired his shamelessness.
In order to save face, he invited his colleagues to recommend him, but Su Jinxun actually came in person.
Liu Shuyun kept scolding him in his heart, but now that Su Jinxun was on the same level as him, he had to be polite.
"This?" Liu Shuyun hesitated.
"What? Master Liu has a suitable candidate in mind?" Su Jinxun asked quickly.
"Actually, as early as three days ago, I had given this vacancy to Chen Li. You also know that Chen Li and Ding You have been serving for three years, so he should return to the court to serve. He was originally a doctor in the Ministry of Finance. He was rejected before, and now he is still
It’s natural to give it to him!”
Liu Shuyun said and sighed, "You are not in a hurry! If you had said this before, how could I be unreasonable? Isn't that right? It's too late now, the appointment has been made."
Su Jinxun's eyes widened when he heard this, "Ah? This is actually happening?"
He did the math and pondered for a moment, "Oh! Chen Li is sure that Ding You has been serving for three years, so there is nothing wrong with him being reinstated!"
Liu Shuyun nodded, "Hey! Isn't that the case? Why don't Su Shangshu wait until a suitable vacancy becomes available and I will consider it again. After all, it's not the end of the year yet, so officials can't be transferred!"
