Although Wang Maozhong looked down on Gao Lishi and other eunuchs in the palace from beginning to end, although Wang Maozhong was in the North Gate Forbidden Army, he was once expelled, and his henchmen were gone, and even his in-law, Ge Fushun, who was also a hero of Tang Long, was once far down. At the same time that the eunuchs in the palace suddenly gained power, Gao Lishi did not forget to be a favor, and after the passage of time, he quietly mentioned Ge Fushun in front of the Son of Heaven, so unlike Wang Maozhong, who was hanged shortly after being demoted, Ge Fushun was reinstated after two years of bad luck, re-led the troops, and had to receive Gao Lishi's favor.

As for the civil officials, whether it is Yu Wenrong, Zhang Shuo, Pei Guangting or Li Linfu, when each high-ranking official is in power, he has dealings with Gao Lishi openly and secretly. Among them, Zhang Shuo, who is known as Yan Xu's generosity with Su, even personally wrote a Shinto monument for Gao Lishi's adoptive father Gao Yanfu, his biological father Feng Junheng, and his biological mother Mai's three people, praising them to the fullest, and other high-ranking officials are also poems or gifts. In addition, Gao Lishi can get many rewards from his current son Li Longji every year, so he is a prince of Fubi in his mansion.

It is precisely because of this that he can't afford to wait for a little money. However, Du Shiyi's gift this time, he can't wait to ignore it - Du Shiyi is not giving money, but a ten-sided inkstone carved by a famous craftsman, each of which is ingenious, and it can attract people's attention just by looking at it. In recent years, due to Du Shiyi's promotion through Qianbaoge, the value of Guangdong Duanxi stone inkstone has increased several times, and all those pottery inkstones and mud inkstones have been beaten to the point that they can't turn over. Scholars not only love the shape, but also love the good feel when grinding ink, so the civil officials and scholars all have the habit of collecting inkstones, and a good inkstone is often tens of thousands, or even can not be bought at all.

As for the other box of new agarwood ink, it seems to be insignificant in terms of value, but countless people rush to the new ink every season, and it is a sign of identity to be used for the first time, so it is best to use it for favors.

Gao Lishi's habit is to seek good fortune and avoid evil, even if Yu Wenrong gave him a lot of various gifts, but when Yu Wenrong was degraded, Gao Lishi has not said a word, and then after more than a year, he received Du Shiyi's heavy gift in front of the emperor to make a statement, and gently and skillfully exchanged for an amnesty edict. If Du Shiyi is not welcomed now, then even if Du Siwen is favored, even if he sends gold and silver, he will not help, but Du Shiyi has a clear future, and the Son of Heaven trusts him, and he can accept this gift with peace of mind. In addition, Du Shiyi just needed a rumor, so he took advantage of the situation and let the people in the palace spread it like this.

There are many unfairness in the selection of officials.

As for when this kind of rumor turned around and spread to the ears of Li Longji, the Son of Heaven, it became that the Ministry of Officials had many events this winter, and in order to ensure that the election people would not make trouble, even Pei Xiangguo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, thought that it was better to imitate the story of the past and judge the selection of the Ministry of Officials with ten high-ranking officials. Although when Yu Wenrong's suggestion was adopted by him back then, there were still people who strongly admonished him, but this time, since it was said that there were such voices outside, Li Longji had something in mind, so he nodded from the good. When Gao Lishi transmitted such information to the political affairs hall, Pei Guangting was not there, and Xiao Song, who was proud of the political affairs hall alone, suddenly laughed.

"Your Majesty is Wise"

Pei Guangting was sick and couldn't participate, and the Son of Heaven meant to let Xiao Song nominate ten people to participate in the election, and Xiao Song was also happy to do favors. Du Xian, who had just returned to the DPRK in November, was transferred to the head of the Ministry of Households, Pei Yaoqing, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Li Wei, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Cheng Wei of the Ministry of Rites, Han Xiu, the right hand of the Ministry of Works, Li Liang, the head of the Criminal Department, and Yan Tingzhi, the head of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Jiuling, who had just moved from the secretary to the Ministry of Labor, and he chose these eight candidates other than himself. After transcribing the list on paper, he called Du Shiyi to the political hall with a smile and said a sentence lightly.

"Except for these eight elders in the court, is Junli willing to take responsibility?"

Although this is something he can't ask for, Du Shiyi, who cheated on the exam book before, has been in the limelight enough, and when the Son of Heaven resumes Shiquan again, although he wants to stand on the cusp of this storm, he has to be humble. After he owed, he said in a low voice: "Pei Xiangguo is also the secretary of the ministry, and he can't interfere in the selection because he is sick, but for such a big matter, it is probably inappropriate to exclude the servants of the ministry, and some people will criticize Xiangguo for abolishing things." ”

"You mean Li Shilang?" Xiao Song suddenly realized that he had forgotten Li Linfu, and after patting his forehead lightly, he shook his head and said, "My memory is really not enough." However, Junli, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, I don't know how many officials are related to the future and future of the election, are you really not tempted?

"My qualifications are not as good as Xiangguo and my predecessors, how dare I be on a par with them?" Speaking of this, Du Shiyi once again gave a deep salute and said, "Xiangguo has always been fair and clear, I only ask Xiangguo to consider my performance yesterday and reduce the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion to the Assassin's History Department." ”

Of course, Xiao Song has seen this performance, and for Du Shiyi's proposal, he has to admit that it is very insightful. As for Du Shiyi's high-sounding proposal to ensure the continuation of the decree and ask Wang Han to be the assassin of Yunzhou, even if he knew that this was Du Shiyi's elbow turning inward to fight for the welfare of his own people, but when he first arrived in Hexi, he relied on Pei Kuan and Niu Xianke, a pair of right-hand men, to turn defeat into victory and turn losses into profits. However, he was deeply pleased that Pei Kuan was transferred to the imperial history Zhongcheng, and he had Du Shiyi as a helper, so that he turned the situation around for a while, so that Pei Guangting suffered two dumb losses in a row, and after a deep groan, he made up his mind.

"The promotion and transfer of Wang Ziyu and others, I will advocate it with all my might, but although you are young, Junli, you are doing things properly and fairly, so don't shirk this matter. In this way, Li Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, has been in poor health recently, and he had a good impression of you when he was in Taiyuan Yin, and the affairs of the Ministry of Ministers are complicated, and he may not be able to support it, so you will take Li Gong's share and make more efforts."

Du Shiyi originally took retreat as advance, if Xiao Song was really good and abandoned him outside Shiquan, he could only use his brains elsewhere, but Xiao Song took the initiative to remove a dying old Li Liang, and after repeated resignations, he finally agreed. If he could, he would like to exclude Li Linfu from this Shiquan, but in that case, Li Linfu would be able to act as a wronged little daughter-in-law in front of others, and with Li Linfu's appearance of being proficient and conscientious for so many years, it was enough to ⊥ everyone sympathize with this unlucky servant.

Therefore, he pushed the boat to let Li Linfu take the last train, finalized the matter of Wang Han and others to Xiao Song, and included the last place in his bag by the way.

After all, he did not shy away from his relatives in yesterday's recital, he had already made clear the merits of Wang Han and Guo Quan, and one of the two was Zhang Shuo's old favorite general, and the other was Yu Wenrong's former confidant.

Without waiting for Shiquan's list to be announced, he went straight to meet Han Xiu, the right man of Shangshu. Although he only gave Han Xiu a while in the right supplement, he didn't have much friendship, but now he is a well-known member of the Zhongshu House, and the relationship with Han Xiu, who has been in this position for many years, can be regarded as a senior and junior. After he visited openly, he didn't use any excuses such as talking about poetry and essays to open the topic, and straightforwardly pulled the topic to the Yushitai. The imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory is a legal official, but he has done many illegal acts, such as Yang Wanqing and others, and the virtue of many civil officials is even more despised, and Han Xiu is the same.

"They are just lawyers, but they don't follow the law, and only know their own selfishness, it's really hateful Pei Zhongcheng took office, and he was quite hopeful, but I heard that he was going to be transferred to the military department in the near future, which is really embarrassing. Although Dr. Cui is brilliant, it is difficult to convince the public to sit on the Yushitai, if he can get a strong person to sit on the Yushitai, I don't think there will be so many perverse things."

"What Han Youcheng said is extremely true." Du Shiyi became angry when he saw Han Xiu say this, so he sent a roll of paper in his sleeve to Han Xiu, "This is my resume of the same year as the provincial test jinshi and the first, and I also ask Han Youcheng to take a look." ”

"Huh?" Han Xiu took it and looked at it with some confusion, and then frowned, "Junli is coming to me to be a lobbyist?" You are also one of them this time, Xiao Xiangguo trusts you very much, and Pei Zhongcheng is also your wingman, why are you looking for me? ”

"Although it is said that he is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, Wei 14 and I are friends in the same year, and others will inevitably gossip. Moreover, Xiao Xiangguo is a person, and he often accepts the recommendation from the left and right, and may not delve into his person. Pei Zhongcheng already praised Wei Shixi, although he was about to be transferred soon, but he had already written a strong recommendation, but Pei Zhongcheng was not very experienced in the Yushitai, and Han Youcheng was known to everyone, and everyone would feel that Han Youcheng was a person who used his talents. If Han Youcheng feels that the merits recorded on this scroll of paper are fraudulent, or his character is not in the eyes of the law, then Han Youcheng can be regarded as if I have not been here today. ”

Such quiet flattery, even if Han Xiu is a notoriously difficult person to get along with, he can't help but be slightly pleased. He thought about it for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll take a closer look at the experience of this Wei Fourteen as an official." If he is really impeccable in virtue and virtue, I should strongly recommend him to enter the Imperial Historical Stage."

After entrusting Xiao Song and Han Xiu to those who were deeply related to him, Du Shiyi finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Whether it is Wang Han Guo Quan or Wei Li, all he wants them to get are official vacancies that do not participate in the selection of Quan, so naturally they can only ask others, as for the rest......

It was the first time in his life that he had the opportunity to participate in the selection, and his mind unconsciously flashed the long list that Yu Wenrong entrusted to him back then. In Daizhou for a few years, except for one Sun Wanming as the commander of Langu County, the rest are not under his jurisdiction, and he can only endure it for the time being. And this time he has the opportunity to be selected, he can focus on these people who seem to have nothing to do with him
