After receiving the documents from the ministry, Cao Hao did not stay in Qingyuan for a few more days, and was ready to leave for Beijing.

Among the people brought from the capital the year before last, the cunning ones have already been dismissed, and most of the rest are honest and hard-working.

There are a few who want to be out of office, and Cao Hao is guaranteed to be promoted, and he is appointed as an eight-rank and nine-grade official; If he wanted to continue to stay in the Governor's Palace, Cao Hao sorted out a personnel resume and recommended it to Tang Zhiyu; When he decided to leave the governor's palace, Cao Hao also made someone prepare a piece of money, or wrote a letter of recommendation, and recommended him to other places, which was properly arranged.

Like Jiang Jian, if he wants to stay by Cao Hao's side and continue to be the master of the staff, Cao Hao also keeps more.

Three people have long wisdom, and one person has short wisdom.

Besides, he is still going to the household department with the most cumbersome errands, and Cao Hao has nothing to do, and he has the consciousness of exhausting himself.

As his rank rose higher and higher, he also accumulated some experience as an official.

Petty officials do things, and big officials do things.

The more prominent the position, the more you need to be discerning.

Such an arrangement, benevolence and righteousness, made the guests and hosts happy, and the panicked atmosphere in the governor's palace also calmed down.

When the departure was decided, Cao Hao held a banquet in the palace the night before returning to Beijing to thank the subordinate officials and staff of the governor's palace.

Jiang Jian has been studying Zen for many years, and after breaking through fame and fortune, he became more and more calm. Whether it is the master of the Governor's Mansion or the staff of the Shangshu Mansion, there is not much difference to him.

has been in Cao's Mansion for many years, and Cao Hao has always been kind to him; has been in Zhili for two years, and as Cao Hao's most relied on confidant, the following filial piety is quite abundant. Even if Jiang Jian is no longer a curtain, he will spend enough for the rest of his life.

However, he had no intention of leaving Cao Hao.

Not for fame and fortune, but for the heart of the big husband.

Now, Jiang Jian is holding a wine cup, representing Cao Hao, and greeting the staff and scribes present.

Although Cao Hao is the host of the banquet, his identity is there, and he is due to his prestige. With him, the big guy is restrained in the end. Therefore, after the banquet began, Cao Hao Tuan toasted everyone with three glasses of wine, and then asked Jiang Jian and Song Hou to accompany the guests on his behalf, and left the table first.

Everyone at the table, like Jiang Jian, will take the curtain as their career, from not being named, to going from the curtain to the main curtain to the famous curtain, step by step; Some people will use the shogunate industry as a step to advance and look for the right time to become a leader.

Although they do not have noble families and excellent backgrounds to rely on, they can also rely on their own efforts to infiltrate the officialdom and crochet into large and small networks.

Even if Cao Hao is in a prominent position, he may not know when he will use these people, and it is always good to be more enveloped.

Song Hou sat on the side with a smile, surrounded by a few "disciples and grandchildren" who came to toast.

Some of these people did not go to Cao Hao's relationship, but later defected to him; Some of them went to the governor's palace and worshiped under Song Houmen.

"You boys, don't think that if you have been in the Governor's Palace, you will be high-handed. If you can't be down-to-earth, starting from the state and county, you will never be able to become the main curtain. Song Hou wiped his beard and admonished.

A few middle-aged people were okay and nodded their heads in agreement; The two young people had a bitter face, and said: "Grandpa, this magistrate is in the place, and the master is more and more picky, I just think that the older the better, where will I pick young people?" ”

Song Hou glanced at him and said, "All the bastard words, who didn't survive from young people?" When you are like you, you have already made great achievements in the name of the penalty, and your reputation is full of three jins. ”

The two young staff, hearing this, looked at Jiang Jian with a little admiration and envy...... In the upper room of the official residence, another table was set up, and Tang Zhiyu, Liang Chuanfu, and Xie Tianlai, several officials who were close to Cao Hao, were invited.

Tang Zhiyu has already appointed the governor of Zhili, and it won't be long before he can officially enter the governor's palace; Liang Chuanfu and Xie Tianlai were only promoted last year, and if they want to go further, they still have to improve their qualifications.

The military attache is not in the frontier, only the suppression of bandits can obtain military merits, and the direct subordinate is a peaceful realm, so he can only slowly endure his term of office.

Liang Chuanfu is okay, taciturn, cold, no matter when you see him all year round, it is an expression; Thank you that I have always been more active, but now I am sitting on pins and needles, and I can't do it.

In his opinion, Cao Hao "reluctantly" withdrew from Zhili, Tang Zhiyu picked up a big bargain "unkindly", these two people have a "predecessor" and a "current", they can't say that they turned their faces into enemies, and they should have a knot.

No, Cao Hao's face was as usual, and he talked to Tang Zhiyu about several unfinished affairs in Zhili; Tang Zhiyu was also frank and unrestrained, answering questions without any heart.

Xie Tianlai was full of wonders, looking at Cao Hao for a while, and Tang Zhiyu for a while, wanting to see through the "disguise" of the two.

But I couldn't see anything.

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, thinking in his heart that what he was looking for might be "joy and anger are invisible".

Cao Hao saw that he was affectionate and unpredictable, so he looked at him twice.

Xie Tianlai raised the wine cup, his eyes were already red, he squeezed out two tears, and said: "I am really reluctant to let the adults go, the lower officials are out of shape, please don't blame the adults!" Saying that, I really felt a little reluctant.

Although there is Prince Zhuang's Mansion behind him, in the end, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, where is the care of Shangfeng more comfortable?

This Tang Zhiyu is a stone in a pit, which is notoriously smelly and hard. This time, I picked up Cao Hao's cheapness again, and only then did I get the governor of Zhili, and it would be good not to squeeze my "old subordinate" of the Governor's Palace, where would I dare to look forward to taking care of it.

This man in his forties said that he would shed tears when he shed tears, even if he knew that there was an element of drama, Cao Hao was still a little moved, raised the wine in the cup, touched it with Xie Tianlai, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Cao Hao was moved, Xie Tianlai became more and more energetic, picked up the wine jug, poured it for Cao Hao again, shouted with words full of Shanxi flavor, and ate two cups with Cao Hao.

He was not a person who drank much, but he ate two rounds of wine first, and at this time, he was a little drunk after eating a few cups in his heart.

He pulled Cao Hao's sleeve, cried "woo", and said, "My lord is a good official...... Since the adult goes down to Zhili, Zhili has a day of appearance. In previous years, when the winter was cold, the city was begging for food, but now the people can eat their stomachs...... Whose eyes did this attract to him, so jealous of adults, he couldn't allow adults to finish this term? ”

In the officialdom of Zhili, there have long been gossips, saying that some people are clever and "frame" Shangfeng and his subordinates to protect themselves.

Although he didn't name him, everyone knew that he was talking about Tang Zhiyu, who was not damaged in this stampede.

Now, Xie Tianlai's drunken words are the rumor that should be reconciled.

Cao Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard this; Tang Zhiyu's expression froze, and the hand holding the wine cup was already white.

Xie Tianlai was drunk, where did he know the severity, and he still said to himself: "Elao Xie is waiting with his eyes open, but he wants to see, after squeezing the adults away, what will that person do to make Zhili look like, if he really has eggs, how can he do this kind of sneaky way?" Is there any reason for this, the black-hearted ......"

Seeing that the more he talked, the more outrageous and foul language came out, Cao Hao really couldn't listen to it, and shouted in a low voice: "Lord Xie, you are drunk!" As he spoke, he called the little servant and instructed: "Call two people to come and help Lord Xie go down and sober up." ”

Xie Tianlai heard it from the sidelines, his head immediately shook into a rattle, his hands danced, and he said with a hard tongue: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk...... With such a small cup, how can you get drunk...... Don't pull the forehead sleeves, don't pull the forehead sleeves......"

He was burly, and the two little guys stepped forward to help him, but they were both thrown away by him.

This living treasure is playing, Cao Hao can't cry or laugh.

Liang Chuanfu got up and said to Cao Hao: "My lord, or will the subordinate send Master Xie back?" ”

Being interrupted by Xie Tianlai, it was no longer an atmosphere of eating and drinking, Cao Hao nodded, got up and said, "In this way, there will be labor." ”

Liang Chuanfu arched his hand to Tang Zhiyu again, grabbed Xie Tianlai's arm, and took it out half-dragging and half-pulling.

Cao Hao ordered someone to remove the already cold table, rewarm the wine, and serve a few refreshing side dishes.

Tang Zhiyu let out a long breath, and his spirit suddenly withered, as if he was several years old.

Seeing this, Cao Hao secretly sighed in his heart, poured Tang Zhiyu full of wine, and said: "The more prominent the position, the more right and wrong, don't care too much about the benefits, just have a clear conscience." ”

Tang Zhiyu raised his head and looked at Cao Hao.

I saw that Cao Hao's eyes were clear, there was worry and understanding in it, but there was no alienation and vigilance.

"My lord......" Tang Zhiyu's voice was hoarse, and his tone was a little vicissitudes and helplessness.

In the end, he has read the books of sages and sages for half his life, even if he is full of heart for the country and the people, he can't do it to the point where fame and fortune are dung and his heart is like water.

A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark.

cherished feathers for half a lifetime, and finally set foot on the road to Qingyun, but the price was to bear the stigma.

Tang Zhiyu was also drunk.

Except for Cao Hao, who knows the inside story, who can he complain in front of?

Although he didn't nag like Xie Tianlai, he was also full of resentment, and ate cup after cup.

Until half of the jar of osmanthus was eaten white, he still held the wine jug, poured himself a drink, and refused to let go.

Seeing that he was drunk and ruthless, Cao Hao didn't dare to let him eat again, so he hurriedly asked someone to remove the wine jug, so that someone called Tang Zhiyu's elder to come in and send Tang Zhiyu back.

Sitting alone in front of the banquet, Cao Hao couldn't help laughing.

This matter is troublesome, in the eyes of the world, it is he Cao Hao who is just sad and down, are Xie Tianlai and Tang Zhiyu considered to be the main ones?

These people in the officialdom of Zhili, although they are said to be eight or five flowers, are a little less entangled and a little more neat than the capital.

Cao Hao picked up the wine cup, ate two bites, looked at the empty seats, but was really a little reluctant......* Back in the upper room, Chu Yu had already prepared a sobering soup and simmered it in the small kitchen.

Cao Hao ate a bowl, changed clothes and freshened up, and then settled.

Because he lay down early, he tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep.

Ming said that he was going to leave Qingyuan and go back to the big cage in the capital. In the early years, I was most tired of the capital, and I wanted to go out, but now I don't know if it's because of the old age, but I am more and more nostalgic for the capital.

Chu Yu has always slept lightly, her husband turned over, she didn't fall asleep, and said in a low voice: "Ming'er was born at the age of fifteen by Tianyou, I don't know if he remembers?" ”

Cao Hao said: "If he doesn't remember, the old lady will remember too...... Calculate the number, the old lady, they should also go to Beijing......"

* Twenty-two votes away from sixth in history, fist-clenched. In the next thirteen days, Xiao Jiu will work hard.
