The yamen of the Ministry of Officials, in the signing room.

Guo Pu, who was wearing a crimson official uniform, sat in front of the desk, stroked his thick black beard, looked up at Li Chunfang, who was talking eloquently on the other side, nodded frequently, and always maintained a smile on his face.

Since Guo Pu stepped into the position of the secretary of the ministry, his goal is naturally to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and what is to ask the official to worship the first assistant. It was precisely because of this that in addition to his gaze on the three ministers, he was actually on guard against some potential threats.

Looking at the entire court, except for Yan Song and Xu Jie, he, Yuan Wei, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang are the most favored. The green word skills of the four people, except for Yuan Wei's green words, which are stronger, the green word strength of the three of them is between the best and the best.

However, among the four, he has the advantage of seniority. He is a second-class jinshi in Jiajing for 14 years, one year higher than Yuan Wei, and more than Li Chunfang in front of him for 12 years.

It's just that even in the face of such a junior, he doesn't dare to take it lightly.

Li Chunfang was the champion of Jiajing for twenty-six years, one year older than him, and now he has also received the grace of the saint. Now Li Chunfang faintly has the momentum of catching up, and has just been transferred from the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials.

is not only Li Chunfang in front of him, but even Yan Ne's threat is not small. If it weren't for Wu Shan's position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he happened to fail to enter the cabinet, otherwise the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites would definitely belong to Yan Ne.

At the moment, the four of them can be described as the treasures of the saints, and all four of them are entrusted with important duties, but who will win in the end, everything is unknown.

"Dazai-sama, what do you think of this method?" Li Chunfang had just been promoted to the left attendant of the ministry, and he looked full of energy, as if he did not realize the wariness of this chief official, and asked with hope.

Guo Pu just lost his mind for a while, but he was an old fritter in the officialdom, and the first time he picked up the tea cup on the table, he seamlessly covered up his gaffe just now.

After taking a sip of tea, he said with a slight smile on his face: "Brother Zishi, your idea is very good!" Let's have a meeting to discuss the specific details, and strive to come up with a case that can impress the cabinet and the emperor! ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Li Chunfang saluted respectfully, and her eyes could not hide her excitement.

He was the champion of Jiajing for 26 years, and it was customary to start with Hanlin revision. In his officialdom career, he was much luckier than the previous champions, and he successfully went from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Rites, and then to the current position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

Nowadays, unlike the previous ministers, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of hundreds of officials in the world, and he is a position that can do things in a real way. is also the same, he took out the enthusiasm he had accumulated for decades, and planned to do something practical for the imperial court, so as to truly appoint the virtuous and use his ability.

Now that his idea of personnel adjustment has been supported and recognized by Guo Pu, and what he has learned over the years can finally be implemented on this platform, how can he not be happy?

Just as Lin Ran was about to say goodbye and leave, he saw a scribe hurriedly come in and whispered in Li Chunfang's ear.

Li Chunfang stopped to say goodbye, but picked up the tea cup on the table and moistened her voice with tea. He is naturally not a completely scheming person, but under the cover of drinking tea, his eyes are secretly looking at Guo Pu.

He noticed that Guo Pu's expression was slightly stunned, and a rare panic appeared on his face, Guo Pu's eyes were surprised, excited, and confused, looking very complicated. Just for a short moment, Guo Pu recovered as before, as if nothing had happened.

"Subordinates retire!"

After reporting the news, the scribe gave a salute to the two of them, and then quietly retreated.

Guo Pu found that Li Chunfang was looking at him, calmed down for a while, and then said bitterly: "Brother Zishi, the Holy Lord has just issued a holy decree to the Shuntian Mansion!" ”

"But Liu Ji was rewarded?" Li Chunfang's news was also well-informed, and she put down the teacup and said calmly.

He is a person from Nanzhili, and because the Shuntian Mansion has been "biting" Xu Jie's recently, he has also been paying attention to the movements of the Shuntian Mansion recently. But it's to see how a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky hits his head and bleeds.

Guo Pu shook his head lightly and said bitterly: "Definitely! This time the movement is a bit big, Shuntianfu Yin has been directly replaced, he is a person you can't imagine! ”

"Who?" Li Chunfang was not only surprised by the change of Shuntianfu Yin, but also wondered why Guo Pu was so sure that he was a person he couldn't imagine, so he asked curiously.

Guo Pu let out a long sigh, picked up the tea cup on the table, and then looked up at Li Chunfang seriously, and finally spit out a name: "Shuntianfu Cheng Linran!" ”

"Him?"

When Li Chunfang heard this name, her eyes immediately widened, her mouth opened slightly, and an extremely shocked expression appeared on her face.

He, the champion of Jiajing for 26 years, is now the left waiter of the ministry, and in the eyes of many people, he is already "lucky", or accuses him and Zhang Xuan of relying on flattery.

But who would have thought that a junior who has only been in the officialdom for four years is not far behind Zhang Zhang, who has been in the cabinet for six years, and has already become the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade.

It seems that it was just yesterday, when he was a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy four years ago, Lin Ran was just a Hanlin cultivator who had just entered the officialdom. In just a few years, he has been promoted several levels in a row, and now he is the same as him.

Although he, the left servant of the ministry, can be more powerful, and he is from the Hanlin Academy, but in the face of such a junior who is dozens of years younger, he will inevitably suffer a little setback in his heart.

However, what puzzled him was that Lin Ran had been "biting" the Xu Mansion before.

It is said that Xu Jie will definitely deal with this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he will definitely make Lin Wenkui hit his head and bleed. But why is this happening? That kid was promoted to Shuncheonfu Yin and took a crucial step?

"Could there be a mistake in the message? How is it different from what is rumored? Li Chunfang seemed to be unable to digest this "absurd news", so she said with a glimmer of hope.

Guo Pu shook his head slightly and said: "You and I have been officials in Beijing for many years, and we should know that the credibility of the rumors in the capital has never been high!" And this news came from the Shuntianfu Ya in the north of the city, no one should hear this wrong, and it is estimated that there will be a clear text to our official department. ”

Although he hoped more than anyone else that this thing was not true, he knew very sensibly that it was not an unimaginable thing.

From the first time Lin Ran impeached him, after that wonderful recital, he knew that this kid was not simple. Then, through interviews with local officials in Guangdong, he knew that Lin Ran's report card in Guangdong's opening of the sea was not as lucky as the officials in the capital thought, but that this kid had real talent and real learning.

Even so, in the face of this sudden news, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
