The protagonist can't come, Xue Mi didn't have the heart to entertain, he sighed at home for a long time, he felt for the first time that time had been wasted all these years, there were no available people around him, and there was no support arm in the court, and looking at the people around him, it was not much use.

"Damn! It's all useless. Xue Mi looked around, several generals were around, and the two maids were quietly and carefully waiting beside them.

A figure came over, Xue Mi looked up a little unhappily, it was the master in the mansion, he didn't wait for the master to open his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

The master heard the impatience in his tone, and he was not angry but frowned slightly.

"Proprietor!"

There was a hint of persuasion in his tone, Xue Mi didn't speak, he looked up at the sky with a teacup, and the thick lead cloud seemed to be pressing on his heart, what a sad word.

"Proprietor!"

The master sat down opposite Xue Mi, he had been in the Xue Mansion for six or seven years, and he had begun to assist the Xue family very early, and he knew everything about the Xue family, and he also knew what Xue Mi was worried about now.

"Alas, I am panicked and at a loss, Master Luo, can you give me a solution?" Xue Mi sighed casually.

Master Luo smiled, reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, and the girl ring on the side hurriedly came over, lifted the teapot over, replaced it with another pot of water, and then quietly stepped aside, still standing with his hands down.

"The proprietor's mind is in the next know," Master Luo smiled faintly, he is a native of Jizhou, born poor, participated in several state products, and then went to the imperial capital to participate in the autumn products, with his family background, got a taste of the lower grade, this tasting is not high, naturally no one recruited, and then a chance to meet Xue Yu's father, Xue Yu's father felt that this person was a talent, so he invited him to his home as a master, to help him deal with some things.

However, the officials of the Xue family have not been large, and there have not been many government affairs until the new emperor ascended the throne and Xue Mi was transferred to the Zhongshu Supervisor, and the government affairs were slightly more.

Master Luo was very optimistic about Xue Mi and thought that Xue Mi had a lot to do, so he did his best to assist Xue Mi.

"Childe's worries are not tomorrow, but in the future. Master Luo said incomprehensibly, Xue Mi opened his eyes and looked at him, a little puzzled.

"Childe, please think," Master Luo smiled and said: "Childe is now the middle secretary, although the official position is not high, but the position is important, and it is in front of the emperor." ”

Xue Yu nodded stunned, this is not strange, nor is it new, the middle secretary is a place that young officials of the imperial court yearn for, and many important ministers of the imperial court in history went from here to the central Shangshutai of the imperial court.

"But Childe has thought about why he can enter the middle school without you?" After Master Luo finished speaking, he looked at Xue Yu with great meaning.

Xue Yuxin said What's strange about this, isn't my cousin in the palace, the queen choked, the current emperor is my brother-in-law, and he doesn't promote me to anyone.

"Sister Ling is in the palace, and you are the queen, is that so?" Master Luo broke his mind, Xue Mi nodded hesitantly, and Master Luo sighed slightly: "Childe, if you just think so, then you will live up to the expectations of the saint." ”

Xue Mi frowned slightly: "Why is this?"

Master Luo sighed again and put the teacup on the table: "The emperor ascended the throne, and Shangshutai were all old ministers left by the first emperor, and there was only one pengzhu with the same intention as the emperor, but the pengzhu was in Chen State, and the emperor was actually alone now." ”

Xue Mi's half-squinted eyes widened suddenly, and now he somewhat understood what Master Luo meant, Master Luo nodded: "Childe understands now, the emperor has high expectations for you." ”

Xue Mi's eyes gradually brightened, but then they dimmed again, looked at Master Luo and said, "I'm not the same now, it's hard to be alone, does Mr. have anything to teach me?"

Master Luo smiled casually: "It is precisely in this way that the prince needs to rise up, the emperor's expectation of you is not just a middle book supervisor who delivers the edict, and the prince can only live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

"Rise up?!, why don't I want to," Xue Mi sighed with a wry smile and turned the teacup in his hand: "But how can you get up?"

Xue Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and Master Luo smiled again: "Childe said that it is difficult to sound alone, indeed, when Gongzi first entered the imperial court, it is naturally difficult to sound alone, and the emperor's expectations for Gongzi are not so high, but if Gongzi is still alone after a few years, I am afraid that the emperor should be disappointed." ”

Xue Mi pondered for a moment and showed a hint of a smile: "Is the master interested in going out to the imperial court?"

I didn't think that Master Luo shook his head: "Childe misunderstood, Luo also wants to glorify his ancestors, but Luo is from a humble background, he has been in the Childe Shogunate for many years, and the imperial capital is well known, so Childe recommends me now, and I have no selfishness, and I give people a handle for nothing." ”

Xue Yu originally thought that Master Luo's purpose was to recommend him, but he didn't think that this Master Luo actually refused, but he didn't refuse completely, but left a tail.

"Alas. Xue Yu sighed a little disappointed.

Master Luo also shook his head: "Although there is no ready-made person in the hands of the son, but I have a wide range of people in the world, and the talents are boiling, the autumn product has just ended, and many scholars who have tasted it are stranded in the imperial capital. ”

Xue Mi's eyes gradually brightened, indeed, the annual autumn product is over, this time he and Qiu Ge did not participate much, but they also made a few scholars, but they did not have deep friendships, but he also knew that after the autumn product every year, there are many scholars stranded in the imperial capital, most of these scholars are from poor backgrounds, belong to the civilian class, most of them have no way, they can only rely on the small reputation obtained in the autumn products, and obtain the step of advancement.

"Wonderful! Mr. Luo, this plan is wonderful!" Xue Mi was a little excited, and was about to stand up excitedly, but Master Luo added lightly: "But how do you recommend it?

Xue Mi's expression changed slightly, and then it dimmed again, in the imperial court, he barely had any help, the most important departments of the imperial court were in the hands of the Pan family, the military power was in the hands of Pan Ji, Shang Shutai was in the hands of Pan Lian, the Du branch, in the hands of Shi Gu Wei, the former chief of Pan Lian, Cao Cao, in the hands of Xu Mao, a confidant of Pan Lian, and Zuo Min Cao was in the hands of Gantang, and the imperial history was divided between Pan Lian and Gantang. Even if he wanted to recommend someone, he didn't know who to recommend it.

"Childe, the court situation seems to be rock-solid now, but in fact, if you grasp the mystery, you can break the situation in one fell swoop. Master Luo smiled slightly, this smile was extremely treacherous in Xue Yu's eyes, he waved his hand, and the two maids who were waiting on the side quietly retreated.

Master Luo nodded with satisfaction, looked at the generals around him again, and Xue Mi signaled for the generals to retreat, and the generals also quietly hid in the darkness around them.

"Pan Lian controls Shang Shutai, and Liu Cao, and Taiwei Mansion, is this what the emperor wants to see?"

Xue Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he frowned again: "Pan Lian and Pan Ji are all auxiliary ministers left by the first emperor, and the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, so it is impossible to move them now." ”

"Even if the emperor wants to, he won't move now," Master Luo smiled slightly: "The emperor hasn't found anyone who can replace them, so the emperor won't move them yet, and besides, there is still the queen mother in the palace, and the emperor still has constraints, so it's not an opportunity yet." ”

Xue Mi didn't interject, listening and thinking, Master Luo continued: "So, what Gongzi has to do now is to get ready, so that the emperor can replace the Pan family after he is ready, Gongzi, the Xue family has a great chance to replace the Pan family and become the first family of the dynasty." ”

Xue Mi couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard this, the Xue family has gradually declined over the years, his grandfather and father dreamed of reviving the Xue family, and it was easy to send his cousin into the palace and become the crown princess and queen, this has been waiting for a few years, and now he finally has a chance.

"Please teach me, sir. Xue Mi got up and bowed deeply to Master Luo, and Master Luo hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Son, don't be like this, Luo is deeply favored by the Xue family, and he thinks about it every day, and he finally has the opportunity today, Luo is deeply fortunate that he can repay the kindness of the Xue family." ”

Xue Mi raised his head and asked Master Luo to sit down, this action was very solemn, Master Luo was not polite, he sat down directly, Xue Mi picked up the teacup and poured tea for Master Luo.

"What Gongzi wants to do now is to lay a good foundation," Master Luo said: "There must be people in the court who are dissatisfied with the Pan family, Gongzi should pay attention to this person, the sentence is Shang Shu's servant, and he is Shang Shuling's deputy, but he is also isolated in the court, and his reputation is very bad, and now he is following Pan Lian, it is a last resort, and Gongzi can use this person at the right time." In addition, Uncle Ling is also a big helper. ”

Xue Mi nodded frequently, the Xue family is difficult in terms of heirs, in this generation, there are only five people, two stayed in his hometown in Hedong, Xue Mi's elder brother died of illness in his early years, and one did not want to go out and taught in Sanyang Academy in Hedong, so in the court, he was the only one left in his generation.

And among Xue Mi's fathers, there is only one left, that is, Xue Mi's uncle Xue Zun, whose official position is not low, Zuo Min Cao Shilang, but this Zuo Min Cao belongs to the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is still far from Shangshutai, but it is somewhat helpful.

"It's a pity that the family has fallen home," Master Luo sighed: "The son also has a big arm to help, that is, the Hedong Shi family, the Bai family, the Wang family, and the Luo family." ”

Xue Mi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the Hedong Shi clan has also declined over the years, originally there were some forces in the court, but now the family is mourning at home, there is no one in the court, and the Bai family's officials in the court are not more than four grades, the Wang family is mainly in the army, especially, the Xue family has declined in recent years, and everyone in Hedong is a high-grade scholar family, and they already look down on the Xue family, and now they look down on it, if it weren't for the princess and queen, I'm afraid he Xue Mi would not be qualified to enter their hall, and he still has a belly fire in his stomach.

Master Luo looked at him and shook his head: "Childe, if you want to control Shangshutai, you must be broad-minded, you must first be able to turn enemies into friends. ”

Xue Mi nodded: "Mr. is right, but who should I recommend it to?"

Master Luo smiled faintly: "Why didn't the prince think that he would recommend it directly to the emperor." ”

Xue Mi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that since the emperor has the heart to replace Pan Lian, then he must prepare official talents, so he will naturally accept these people, and at the same time arrange the positions of these people, and these people know that they are recommended by him Xue Mi, and they will naturally be his team in the future, which has another effect, showing the emperor his open-mindedness and selflessness.

"Mr. Wen's words are better than ten years of study, thank you sir," Xue Yu hesitated and asked: "I should be on duty tomorrow, if the emperor asks about salt and iron, how should I answer?"

Childe said that this matter should be asked to Shang Shutai. Master Luo replied nonchalantly, Xue Yu shook his head: "As far as I know, the emperor has already asked Shang Shutai, Shang Shutai has different opinions, and the emperor's mind is shaken. ”

"Shang Shutai has a difference of opinion, how do you know?" Master Luo asked rhetorically, Xue Yu was stunned at first, and then understood that Master Luo was telling him that if the emperor asked, he would pretend not to know Shang Shutai's difference of opinion.

"But what does the emperor want to ask?" Xue Mi continued to ask, Master Luo sighed in his heart, Xue Mi still had some less change, so he had to continue: "Childe can shirk it, but you can say it simply, don't go into details, just say that it can be handed over to Du Zhi Cao, and then Du Zhi Cao sent people to various places, convened big merchants, and held auctions." If the emperor doesn't ask, don't take the initiative to mention it. ”

Xue Yu nodded, and said in his heart that I was stupid, the emperor didn't ask, why did I take the initiative to mention it, it wasn't boring.

However, Master Luo's suggestion is very good, especially about Pan Lian, this old thing is in charge of the court alone, this situation can't continue, and I, Xue Yu, can completely replace him.
