Chapter 1299 The precarious host and guest division
Hearing this, Du He smiled slightly and said, "Zhu Ping, do you know what your greatest advantage is?"
He did not directly answer Zhu Ping's question.
Zhu Ping was stunned and said, "Please give me some advice from the dean!"
Du He said: "The greatest advantage of you is that you are so honest!"
Zhu Ping said respectfully: "Dean, you are so right. I am so sincere. My sincerity is known to people from all over the country. Everyone praises me. For this reason, I was recommended by our local county magistrate to come to the capital."
Take the scientific examination."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du He asked again: "Do you know your biggest shortcoming?"
Zhu Ping shook his head.
Du He explained: "Your biggest shortcoming is that you are too honest."
What?
Zhu Ping was completely stunned.
The biggest advantage is that he is very honest.
The biggest shortcoming is... he is also the most honest.
What does this mean?
Du He waved his hand, turned around and left.
After a while, Zhu Ping walked out of the yard. As he walked, he clasped his fingers and muttered: "Advantages, disadvantages, honesty... advantages... disadvantages..."
When people around him saw it, they all thought Zhu Ping was in a daze.
…
at the same moment.
In the room of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Chen Zhuzhu said with tears and snot in his nose: "...Sir, I have followed you for many years, and you can't just ignore me. If I am sent as an envoy to Tibet, I will probably not be able to come back. My old
What should I do with my parents, my new concubine, and the children who haven’t grown up yet? Sir, you are the only one who can help me now. Please consider that I have done so many things for you.
, you must help me, help me..."
What Chen Zhuzhu said was miserable.
Minister Zuo was very upset by what he said.
Zuo Shilang thought for a while and asked curiously: "Is the imperial court going to send people to the Western Regions or to collect intelligence? I don't know about this yet..."
Chen Zhuzhu said: "Sir, it's true. Du He even drafted the list and said it would be handed over to His Majesty."
Zuo Shilang pondered: "It seems that this matter is a top secret. I am afraid that only His Majesty and the Ministry of War know about it. This matter was probably the work of the Ministry of War. Du He, the broom star, once he comes to the host and guest department, others will think that he is easy to bully.
, just push this matter to the host and guest department... Well, in that case, I will give you a transfer order and ask you to go to the catering department. However, the catering department is full now. If you go there, you can only be an ordinary person.
Official, do you understand?"
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! As long as I don't go to Tibet as an envoy, I will be very grateful... Even if I resign, it doesn't matter. What's more, I just resigned, but my official status is still there!"
Chen Zhuzhu was so happy that she almost jumped up.
In a short time, a transfer order was written.
Chen Zhuzhu is just a steward from the eighth rank, who can be regarded as a steward in the host and guest department. He can manage several people under his command and can decide a lot of things. But now that he has gone to the catering department, his official status is retained, but he can no longer be a steward.
This kind of transfer belongs to the transfer within the Ministry of Rites. It can only be decided by the Ministry of Rites itself and does not need to be reported to the Ministry of Personnel.
Taking the transfer order, Chen Zhuzhu said happily: "Du He, Du He, you still want to attack me, huh, it's okay now, I'm no longer your host and guest, let's see how you still order me."
…
Snapped.
A transfer order was photographed on Du He's desk.
Du He raised his head and saw Chen Zhuzhu looking at him with a proud expression.
Du He asked: "Master Chen, are you looking for trouble?"
Chen Zhuzhu's nostrils turned upward and he sneered: "Master Du, don't dare to find trouble. I'm just here to inform you. From now on, I am no longer a member of your host and guest department. You see clearly, I am now a member of the catering department."
Du He picked up the transfer order, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Mr. Chen, are you crazy? You were in charge of the host and guest department. When you went to the catering department, you were just an ordinary official. I'm afraid it will take you several years to get to where you are now.
Are you really willing to accept this position?"
Chen Zhuzhu smiled and said: "I am not interested in being an official. There is nothing wrong with being an ordinary official."
Du He asked: "Don't you regret it?"
"Of course I don't regret it. Whoever regrets it is his grandson!"
"Oh, we are all colleagues after all, why would we say such things? Well, since it is the transfer order given to you by Mr. Zuo Shilang, I dare not disobey it. Come, I will give you my official seal, and you can go.
"
Du He was very happy.
After a while, Chen Zhuzhu's transfer order officially came into effect.
There is no longer a person like Chen Zhuzhu in the host and guest department.
Chen Zhuzhu walked out proudly.
As soon as he left, another steward from the Host and Guest Department, Mei Huashan, walked in again.
Meihuashan looked proud.
Du He saw him and asked, "Mr. Mei, are you here to be transferred as well?"
Meihuashan smiled and said: "Mr. Du is really good at predicting things. In fact, I have wanted to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a long time. No, I just went to see Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Personnel. He gave me a transfer order and asked Du
Your Majesty, please make it happen."
Du He took the transfer order and looked at it, and was surprised: "Oh, Mr. Mei, when you went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you turned out to be just an ordinary official? Didn't they give you a job in charge?"
Meihuashan smiled awkwardly and said: "There is no shortage of managers in the Ministry of Civil Affairs now. However, Mr. Du, I know you want to persuade me, but you are wrong. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has always been the place I yearned for, even if I go there to sweep the floor.
, I am willing too.”
Du He clicked his tongue and said, "Master Mei's hobbies are really special. If that's the case, then I won't embarrass you."
Snapped.
Du He's official seal.
Meihuashan took the transfer order and walked out with a smile.
Plum Blossom Mountain has just left, and another one has arrived...
…
until dark.
All the twenty-three officials on the roster found various reasons, received transfer orders, and left the Host and Guest Department.
There are only about twenty people left in the host and guest department.
The news spread and many people went crazy.
Because once people like Chen Zhuzhu and Meihuashan leave, the task of sending envoys to Tibet will not fall on other people.
For a time, the hosts and guests were divided, and people were in panic.
Just as everyone was discussing quietly, they received news that Du He, the host and guest clerk, summoned everyone to the court hall.
"It's over! It's time to select the person to use Tubo."
"Yes, none of the twenty-three people in the morning belong to the host and guest department, so they don't need to go on an envoy..."
"I never thought that it would fall on me and others in the end."
"Let's go take a look first. If it doesn't work, let's go find someone else!"
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Finally, everyone from the host and guests came to the courtyard.
As soon as everyone entered the door, they saw Du He sitting on a chair with a gloomy face.
Many people did not dare to express their anger and stood aside honestly.
After a while, Zhu Ping said: "Dean, everyone is here."
Du He raised his head, picked up the roster, and started calling names.
Everyone whose name was called was frightened.
It took a long time to call out all the names of more than 20 people.
Snapped.
Du He put down the roster and said: "You must also know that today, the host and guest department transferred twenty-three officials, including two stewards, Chen Zhuzhu and Meihuashan. The current host and guest department can be described as precarious.
, it’s really a perfect fit. As the head of the host and guest department, I feel very sad..."
