Chapter 276 We don’t dare to fight against Cai Xiangqin’s son, but you... (1st update, please vote for me)
In front of the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Cai Laoliu turned over and jumped off his horse, then strode ahead with his head held high.
The confidants around him immediately rushed forward to inform the officer who was approaching.
I heard that it was Cai Liulang, Cai Xiang's beloved son, who came to the staff department and had something important to do.
Moreover, there were two others, Tong Zhisheng and Gao Zhang, accompanying them. The officers did not dare to neglect them and immediately sent people to rush towards the official office.
All the people who were waiting for him stopped at the door of the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Gao Zhang had just climbed two steps when he suddenly let out an ouch, causing Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng to both turn their heads.
Gao Zhang smiled sheepishly. "It's okay, I just have some cramps in my feet. Brother Zhao, please help me."
Gao Zhang waved to Imperial City Secretary Zhao Yaban who had stopped outside the Yamen proactively and consciously with others.
This made Zhao Aban a little surprised, but the little ancestor not only asked him to support him, but even if he asked himself to carry him, Zhao Aban did not dare to disobey him.
Seeing this scene, Cai Laoliu curled his lips in disdain.
"It's like this when you go up a level, haha... Senior brother, you are really spoiled and pampered."
Gao Zhang laughed and paused.
"If you keep talking too much, Brother Zhisheng and I won't go in to see how you defend the officials and seek justice for the imperial court."
"I think brother Xian, you don't lack that kind of reputation, right brother Zhisheng?"
Cai Laoliu hesitated, turned his head slowly, then slapped himself, and forced out a flattering smile with difficulty.
"Senior brother, look at you. Junior brother, I will just come and help you. Why bother other people..."
"..."
#####
In the staff department, at this moment, Zhang Shilang walked slowly and came to the public house.
At this moment, among the several doctors who were already waiting here, the Yuanwailang stood up one after another and saluted respectfully towards the Minister Zhang.
"You don't need to be polite. Please sit down. I have a few things to discuss with you today..."
As soon as my butt fell down, and before I even covered the heat, I heard someone walking quickly outside to report.
The prodigy number one scholar Gao Zhang, Cai Liulang and Tong Dalang arrived hand in hand. They had something important to discuss with Zhang Shilang.
"The three of them are here to find me?" Zhang Shilang sat there with a confused look on his face.
Aren't those three guys engaged in the affairs of arms reform? That office does not involve the Ministry of Housing, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.
No matter how much we try to get involved, we can't involve the officials.
But when I thought about it, there was Cai Laoliu here. His biological father was his immediate boss as the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shilang waved his hand helplessly and ordered.
"In that case, let them come and see you."
As for the various ministers, many Yuanwailang have come here. We have important matters to discuss. You can't even hold a serious office meeting just because of three little kids, right?
Therefore, Zhang Shilang sat calmly in the hall, and a group of middle and senior officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs also sat on both sides, whispering quietly, and guessing the purpose of these three people's visit.
At this moment, Cai Laoliu appeared outside the hall first.
Cai Laoliu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw many red-robed officials sitting in the hall, as well as the purple-robed official sitting behind the main seat.
Oops, it's really better to come early than to come by chance, just in line with what senior brother just said.
Let’s look at how Mr. Cai used his words to fight against the officials, upholding justice for the loyal ministers of the court and opening their eyes.
Full of fighting spirit, Cai Laoliu raised his chin, put his hands behind his back, and strode into the hall with his head held high, with a rebellious expression and a no-nonsense attitude.
All the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs had black faces, and the face of the old Minister Zhang was also a little dark.
But who knew that this guy was Cai Xiang's beloved son? Zhang Shilang could only stand up and showed a slightly flattering smile.
"I wonder why Mr. Cai Liu and two others came to my official department?"
"Cai came here just for one thing. I heard that Zongze, the former magistrate of Jiaoshui County in Laizhou, was highly talented and capable, with outstanding political achievements. He was deeply loved by the people during his tenure..."
"The court should have put more emphasis on such good ministers of the country who have outstanding political achievements..."
When he heard the name Zongze, Zhang Shilang's brows jumped up.
After all, this name has become extremely familiar to him during this period of time.
This person has been to the staff department many times during this period. He has obviously been an official for so many years, but he doesn't know the slightest bit about human relations.
Naturally, such a person needs to be given some time to dry out, but who would have expected that this guy is as stubborn as a donkey and doesn't know anything at all.
This made Zhang Shilang feel very evil, and he was already thinking about throwing this guy with no vision into a remote and remote place, so that he could enjoy himself and continue to work as a county magistrate.
What people never expected was that Cai Liulang, the biological son of his boss, Prime Minister Cai, would actually appear here to speak for Zongze.
This immediately confused Zhang Shilang, and at this moment, Gao Zhang and Na Tong Zhisheng, the two brothers, simply watched the excitement and didn't mind it, and stood happily aside and commented in a low voice.
This horse-riding person is the official department, the head of the six dignified departments. You know, ordinary officials, when they arrive at the official department, they will subconsciously smile when they see the watchdog of the official department.
But the problem is that these three little bastards all have good fathers, and now the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs can only force out a smile and lower their heads to listen to Cai Laoliu chattering in front of them.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is also an experienced official with many years of experience.
After the initial shock, while Cai Laoliu was venting his anger, he intervened in time.
"What Mr. Cai Liu said is absolutely true. If Mr. Cai hadn't come to my official department and stated the matter directly to my face, I wouldn't have known about it."
Having said this, Zhang Shilang raised his finger and pointed at the officials on both sides with a displeased look on his face and began to reprimand him.
"...Please rest assured, Mr. Cai Liu, I will definitely urge them to handle the matter of Zongze's selection of officials as soon as possible."
Faced with Zhang Shilang's words, Cai Laoliu, who was not very smart, but had some skills, had an extraordinary performance today. Naturally, he could not let his senior brother and brother Zhisheng underestimate him.
"Why, could it be that we can't confirm it today? Or maybe you just want to delay it."
Gao Zhang on the side couldn't help but complain.
"I heard that your official department is ready to let Zongze continue to be the county magistrate.
Na Zongze had outstanding political achievements for many years, but he had already served as county magistrate in two places, and he had wasted more than ten years in this position."
"Isn't this a bit unjustifiable?"
Gao Zhang's gibbering made the officials next to him who had not dared to speak immediately became energetic.
We don't dare to quarrel with Prime Minister Cai's own son, but if your son, Captain Gao, quarrels with you, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Cai will still be generous when he comes back, and he may leave a good impression or something.
