On the last day of April, the sky was drizzling.

Three black-clad copper-clad carriages slowly drove into the Donggongsheng Gate and came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, which was located next door to the Zongren Mansion.

Three days ago, Zhao Hao sent a post asking to see Wang Bengu, the right attendant of the ministry, hoping to make an organic allocation of the scarce resources owned by both sides to achieve the best effect for both parties.

In layman's terms, it is 'running for office'.

Today is the day when Wang Shilang takes the time to meet.

To Zhao Hao's surprise, the place of meeting was not in Wang Bengu's mansion, but in the yamen of the ministry.

If there was no invitation from Wang Bengu, his carriage would not have been able to enter the Donggongsheng Gate, which was guarded by soldiers.

In the East Gongsheng Gate, in addition to the Zongren Mansion, there are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the five major yamen.

Under the wall outside each yamen, a long pergola is erected. Under the pergola, there was a line of officials who came to the ministry to run errands.

Among them, it is naturally the longest team outside the official department. In addition to the officials who came to work normally, there were also a large number of people, prisoners, and officials who were waiting for the candidates......

There were two or three hundred men, and they filled the long reed huts, and there were many others waiting outside in the rain.

Seeing the servants of the Ministry of Officials open the gate and let the three black carriages go straight inside, the crowd waiting outside the gate could not help but stir.

"How did he cut the line!" If it was an official sedan chair, everyone would have put up with it, but those three were obviously private carriages, right?

"Yes. Didn't you say that the prefect had to queue up when he came? A county magistrate protested angrily.

"What yelling!" The official glared at them, then closed the gate again.

"People are guests of Shaotsuka Zai, can they be like you?"

"The guests of Satsuka Jae are amazing......" The waiting crowd muttered, and the annoyance gradually subsided.

~~

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the official department, and Gao Wu and Cai Ming got out of the two cars in front and behind, one holding up a huge umbrella and the other putting down the carriage bench.

Then the two opened the car door at the same time, and Zhao Gongzi, who was dressed in a snow-blue Suzhou embroidered robe and wearing a white jade crown, slowly got out of the car with the support of Zhao Shizhen.

In fact, there were more than a dozen heavily armed Caijiaxiang guards who did not get out of the car.

Zhao Hao didn't want to be so high-profile, but he had a lot of trouble with the Xu family recently, and he had to bring more bodyguards when he went out, so as not to jump over the wall and destroy him.

But only Zhao Shizhen, who gave him an umbrella, went into the yamen of the ministry with him. Gao Wu and the others could only wait in the car.

Zhao Hao followed a member of the staff who came to greet him, walked along the corridor to the lobby, and came to the right attendant Lang Ya located on the west side of the second hall.

The wailang took Zhao Hao into the ya, came to the outside of the signing room, and then asked him to wait and go in by himself.

After a while, Wang Bengu actually walked out to greet him in person, which made Zhao Hao a little flattered, and hurriedly bowed down.

Wang Shilang's rigid face squeezed out a smile and said, "The reason why I made an appointment to meet at the Yamen is because Otsuka Zai also wants to meet you." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he felt that it should be so.

He had already learned about the previous court meeting, and knew that Yang Bo unexpectedly stood up to his father.

If you don't want to repay your kindness, is it still called Lao Xi'er? Old Yang Tou must have something to look for him......

Zhao Hao didn't even enter the door of the signing room, so he followed Wang Bengu back to the main hall.

Coming to Yang Bo's signing room, Wang Bengu personally went in and asked, and came out and said to Zhao Hao after a while: "There are guests in the ministry, let's wait outside for a while." ”

With Wang Bengu's status, he won't even have a seat in the signing room, but first, it is stuffy in the house on a rainy day, and second, it is convenient to talk to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao and Wang Bengu stood side by side under the eaves of the porch, watching thousands of rain silk fall from the lead clouds and disappear into the blue-black floor tiles.

"Two days ago, I received a letter from Zhao Zhongcheng, saying that he had arrived at Chengfanfu safely, the rebellion there had been quelled, and all matters were progressing smoothly."

Wang Bengu started the conversation with Zhao Jin, first, the relationship between the two began with Zhao Jin. The second is to promote Zhao Jin to the position of governor of Guizhou, which is also Wang Bengu's proud work.

"That's great." Zhao Hao smiled and agreed, as if he had just knew.

In his letter, he was full of praise for Dr. Zhao. Wang Bengu glanced at Zhao Hao, but still couldn't associate this pretending to be a mature teenager with a series of exciting incidents in the capital since the beginning of the year.

"He doesn't know how much you've done."

"Shotsuka Jae laughed." Zhao Hao smiled modestly: "It's just nonsense." ”

"Fooling around?" Wang Bengu shook his head and smiled, saying in his heart that a five-jinshi is also nonsense? Xishan Coal Industry is also fooling around? Lectures at the feast are also nonsense?

So the vast majority of people in this world have been playing with mud all their lives?!

complained a few words in his heart, Wang Bengu felt that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Otherwise, the half-life work that he is proud of, in front of this clear-eyed young man, will automatically disintegrate and dissolve.

And he stopped beating around the bush.

"Over there, I've already said hello to Lu Quancao. Later, when you see the department, let someone lead you directly to it. ”

"Thank you for your trouble!" Zhao Hao hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

Then Wang Bengu stopped talking, only looked at the rain fixedly, and became a quiet beautiful man.

Zhao Hao naturally didn't bother him.

What's more, Zhao Gongzi doesn't really want to deal with this controversial servant.

It was this guy who suddenly intercepted and killed Wang Zhi halfway, which allowed the southeast to fight against the Japanese for seven more years.

How many more people have died in seven years? But he rose to prominence and became a servant of the ministry!

Zhao Gongzi thought indignantly, but when Wang Bengu's gaze swept over, he immediately reported with a sincere smile from the heart.

It's a thigh that is helping you with your own errands, but you still have to be respectful......

However, Wang Bengu's help was not all about Zhao Jin's face, but also because of the shares of Lugouqiao Coal Yard that Zhao Hao sold him.

Of course, according to the price of the original shares......

~~

After waiting for a while, Yang Bo's chief casually came out and invited the two of them in.

Wang Bengu straightened his clothes, took Zhao Hao into the inner signing room, and saluted Lord Tianguan like a ceremony.

Just listen to a hearty laugh and say, "Hahaha, Dr. Zhao doesn't have to be formal." It's not the first time we've met, at the last feast, your demeanor fascinated the old man enough. ”

"Lord Tianguan laughed." Only then did Zhao Hao raise his head and look at one of the three heads that had been evaluated by Yan Shifan as the smartest in the world.

The other two are Yan Shifan himself and Lu Bing, both of whom are in the same relationship.

Only the white-haired Yang Bo is still old and strong, and he continues to stand tall in the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of such an old Shanxi cannon, Zhao Hao didn't dare to hold it up at all, and hugged his fists again with a humble face: "The younger generation has really admired it for a long time." ”
