Lin Fan looked at Liu Chengfeng, then turned around, gave Xue Bingtian a meaningful look, and left directly.
Xue Bingtian knelt on the ground, not daring to express his anger. His Royal Highness was reminding himself that as the Minister of Rites, he was not as useful as a principal?
"Master Xue, if there is nothing else to do, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel first."
Liu Chengfeng was proud of himself and said with a smile.
Xue Bingtian said in a deep voice: "Haha! Mr. Liu has been promoted to the rank of Minister of Rites today. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. I will greet Mr. Liu at Zuiyue Tower tonight."
"Haha! Yes! Mr. Liu is a capable person. People like you will be promoted sooner or later. No, your talent was discovered by His Highness the Crown Prince today."
"Hehe! Mr. Liu, I will have to ask you to take care of me from now on. During this period, our Rites Department is becoming more and more weak among the six departments."
"Yes! The Ministry of Rites needs people like Mr. Liu to take the lead!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites all said with a smile, without paying any attention to Xue Bingtian and Liu Chengfeng standing beside them with a smile on their faces, and accepted all the compliments from these people.
"Colleagues, let's meet at Zuiyue Tower tonight. Mr. Xue, I am promoted today, so I should be the host. How can I let Mr. Xue take the money?"
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile, and then walked out of the door of the Ministry of Rites with a smile.
The reason why he rejected Xue Bingtian's kindness was to tell Xue Bingtian that he is the Minister of Rites, and although he is one level lower than you, I will take your position sooner or later.
Xue Bingtian naturally saw Liu Chengfeng's ambition, but at this time, Liu Chengfeng had gained the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he could only watch Liu Chengfeng grow bigger step by step.
In the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Wuji is handling official business.
After experiencing the last incident, when he now handles government affairs, he is extremely cautious, for fear that any incident may displease His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Sir Wang! I'm under the command of Liu Chengfeng, and I'm here to pay you a visit."
Liu Chengfeng walked in with a smile.
When Wang Wuji saw Liu Chengfeng, he couldn't help but frown even more. He remembered that he recognized almost all the officials in the court. Why was this person so unfamiliar?
However, judging from the official clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be an official from the Ministry of Rites. Could it be that he was sent by the Minister of Rites to discuss with him what to do next?
Wang Wuji still remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince asked him to solve the problem of officials being beaten to death by Li Zizi, but they couldn't kill them all, which meant finding the real culprit.
The problem is that this should be a matter of the Ministry of Justice. How unbecoming is it for someone from the Ministry of Personnel to interfere? If we don’t investigate, then His Highness will smell it and it will be a big trouble.
"Xue Bingtian asked you to come. After all, is there a solution?"
Wang Wuji continued to look down at the official document and said unhurriedly.
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Master Wang, you have misunderstood. My coming this time was not requested by Master Xue, but by His Highness the Crown Prince. This official has been appointed as the Minister of Rites by His Highness the Crown Prince."
kindness?
After hearing what Liu Chengfeng said, Wang Wuji raised his head in confusion. This man looked to be in his early twenties. How could he be promoted to the position of Minister of Rites?
However, considering that His Highness the Crown Prince is only eighteen years old, that method...
Could it be that this person also has mysterious means?
Wang Wuji's mind was racing, and he was thinking about many things in his mind. Then, he stood up directly and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Liu. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."
When Liu Chengfeng saw Wang Wuji being so polite, he immediately said with a smile: "Master Wang, you are so polite. I will be hosting dinner at Zuiyue Tower tonight, and I would like to ask Master Wang for a favor."
"That's natural. Mr. Liu Gaosheng is going to host something. I will definitely go there tonight."
Wang Wuji said with a smile.
"Master Wang, according to the rules, does the Ministry of Personnel have to change my official status first?"
Liu Chengfeng said.
kindness!
Shouldn't His Royal Highness send someone to inform you about this?
Why did Liu Chengfeng come here on his own?
correct!
This boy is definitely a talent to be favored by His Highness the Crown Prince at this age. His Highness the Crown Prince sent him here deliberately to give him advice.
hey-hey!
When Wang Wuji looked at Liu Chengfeng again, it was as if he had seen a big treasure.
"Master Liu, there is no need to worry about this matter. I will find someone to handle it later and send you the official uniform. However, you should have heard about the recent affairs in the Ministry of Personnel."
Wang Wuji said in a deep voice.
Generally speaking, when officials are promoted, they need to change their official status, and at the same time they have to spend their own money to buy official uniforms, and the price of official uniforms is very expensive.
Of course, the money was collected privately by the officials and had nothing to do with the court. However, Wang Wuji directly skipped the step of collecting money and gave Liu Chengfeng an official uniform, which can be seen as a gesture of goodwill to Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng is not a fool. He gave himself an official uniform and talked about the recent affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This clearly meant that he wanted him to help him!
"Ahem! Mr. Wang, you are making things difficult for me. It is difficult for anyone to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs now, not even His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
kindness!
He can't interfere in anything His Highness the Prince does!
Wang Wuji had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and then he thought of the most fundamental reason. His Royal Highness is only the crown prince. Although he oversees the country, he is not yet the emperor.
He can interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Handicrafts, but he cannot interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment, otherwise, it will be easy for others to find fault.
Wang Wuji's thoughts are simply overthinking. Lin Fan has 300,000 troops, would he be worried about this?
He just didn't want to care about it at all.
"Master Liu, since His Highness the Crown Prince cannot interfere, then this matter for our staff is more difficult, what should we do?"
Wang Wuji said in a deep voice.
"What else can we do? Just follow His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes. Just because His Highness the Crown Prince can't interfere doesn't mean he doesn't want to. If you follow His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes, will he still be able to protect you?"
Liu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
"This... Mr. Liu, to be honest, I still haven't figured out what His Highness the Crown Prince means."
Wang Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Alas! Mr. Wang, how do you want me to say hello to you? Isn't the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince obvious enough?
Promote simplified Chinese characters so that the common people of the world will have the same status as the literati, and there will no longer be distinctions between high and low."
Liu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
Wang Wuji was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Yes!
Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince's intention obvious enough?
I am riding a donkey looking for a donkey!
However, after understanding this, my own question came again, how can I achieve this?
Now the Ministry of Rites has abolished the fame and special treatment of literati all over the world, but those literati are making such a fuss, who dares to bite the bullet?
