Chapter 796: Chu Xian's Problem
"What kind of official position is this Chu Xian now?" Yang Taisheng asked again, a little disapproving.
Yang Zhenqing said: "Shoufu Pavilion, Shang Shuling." ”
"What?" Yang Taisheng looked shocked, he knew very well what level of official position Shang Shuling was, even in the First Auxiliary Pavilion, he was also a first-echelon position.
"What about Li Yuanming? I remember that he was most likely to be on the top of Shang Shuling at that time?" Yang Taisheng asked, and there was a reason why he asked this, because Li Yuanming was his very proud protégé, and in the situation at that time, Li Yuanming could definitely be on the top of Shang Shuling, if it was Li Yuanming who was on the throne, then he should not be replaced now, it should still be Li Yuanming.
Mentioning this, Yang Zhenqing sighed and told Li Yuanming's situation and Chu Xian's situation, of course, Yang Zhenqing's story was very fair, there was no deviation, no deviation, no saying how Li Yuanming suffered, and no hostility to Chu Xian.
To put it simply, after Li Yuanming became Shang Shuling, he began to alienate the Yang family, probably because he saw that the Yang family was in decline, and Li Yuanming was extremely arrogant, which was also the main reason why he was pulled down. As for Chu Xian, Yang Zhenqing is also in a complicated mood now, but after all, he still has the mind of a big man, and he didn't say much about the grievances with Chu Xian back then, just talking about the matter.
When Yang Zhenqing finished speaking, Yang Taisheng also understood.
"He is only in his forties, but he sits in the position of the first auxiliary pavilion Shangshuling, and he has promoted the land reform that has been difficult to shake for thousands of years. Zhenqing, such a person, why didn't you win him over earlier, at least you should marry the women of the clan to him and form a family. Yang Taisheng said, this is his first thought, officialdom, the first thing to do is to win over and unite forces, Yang Taisheng knows this well.
It's just that Yang Zhenqing really can't say anything about this question.
It can't be said that Chu Xian had a bad relationship with the Yang family because of the competition for women with your grandson, and the Yang family really suffered a lot because of Chu Xian.
He didn't dare to say this, but Yang Zhenqing knew that his father would have to know sooner or later.
At that moment, he thought about it and said a few words to a few brothers around him, who nodded and left, leaving only Yang Zhenqing and Yang Taisheng in the room.
Yang Taisheng knew that his son had something to say to him, so he signaled Yang Zhenqing to speak.
This time, Yang Zhenqing told the real situation, mainly because of some grievances between the Yang family and Chu Xian before, Yang Taisheng listened very carefully, and waited until Yang Zhenqing finished speaking, he said: "Listen to what you say, this Chu Xian is even more demonic than I thought, the most troublesome thing is that in this situation, that Xiao Yu is already planning to exclude these old families of the Yang family from the absolute core power, simply put, if he does not be the first in the future, it is very likely that a young generation of officials like Chu Xian will take the position." ”
Yang Zhenqing nodded, he had already thought about this question, but to be honest, Yang Zhenqing had other plans at this point.
"Father, there is one thing you don't know yet, the main reason why I am reconciled with Chu Xian now is because I see that it is impossible for him to compete for the first position in the future. Yang Zhenqing said at this time.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Yang Taisheng.
Yang Zhenqing thought for a while and said: "My father came out of the mountain again after a hundred years, this matter will inevitably cause a shock in Jingzhou, according to common sense, my father will also invite old friends, and when the time comes, I will also invite that Chu Xian, with my father's cultivation, I will know it at a glance." ”
Yang Taisheng laughed: "Zhenqing, you have actually learned to sell Guanzi, well, being able to do this shows that you have indeed grown up, and it is enough to support the Yang family." As for the Chu Xian you mentioned, I really want to meet it. ”
Because of Yang Tai's promotion out of the customs, the Yang family set up a banquet to entertain high-ranking officials in Jingzhou and old friends from all over the country, which can be said to be an unprecedented event.
After all, Yang Taisheng's status and qualifications are too high, and he is a figure in the same period as Master Lu Yan, and his connections and influence on officialdom are quite huge.
Therefore, this banquet is almost invited to the top officials of the current Holy Dynasty, and even Master Xiao Yu personally said that he would go, because Yang Taisheng is also an old-timer in the officialdom for him.
Master Xiao Yu is coming, can the others not come?
And in addition to the figures in the officialdom, the immortal masters from all over the world, the Taoist immortals, will also come, many of them are old friends with Yang Taisheng, they haven't seen each other for a hundred years, and it's normal to come to visit old friends.
Therefore, this banquet of the Yang family is definitely the biggest event in Jingzhou in recent years.
Naturally, Chu Xian, the Shang Shuling, also got an invitation from the Yang family.
Chu Xian was thinking about the possible impact of this incident at this time, who was Yang Taisheng, he naturally knew that although he had not seen this legendary figure with his own eyes, there were many things and legends about Yang Taisheng in the Holy Dynasty.
Yang Taisheng's power in the Holy Dynasty was monstrous, and unlike the relatively low-key personality of Master Lu Yan, Yang Taisheng was very high-profile.
Speaking of officialdom, Yang Taisheng's influence is more than that of Lu Yan Taishi back then, let's just say that in the means of officialdom, Yang Taisheng is indeed a rare person, let's just say that in the officialdom, many high-ranking officials are his protégés, and that kind of influence is very terrifying. If Yang Taisheng dies and doesn't come out, then this kind of influence will be difficult to be inherited by other people in the Yang family, just like Yang Zhenqing, although he has a high official position, he is still the number two person in the Shoufu Pavilion, but few people will really sell his face.
But Yang Tae-sheng is different.
For the influence of officialdom, a hundred Yang Zhenqing are not as good as one Yang Taisheng.
Therefore, at this time, the Yang family's Dinghai Divine Needle appeared, and Chu Xian really couldn't see whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But what is certain is that for the Yang family and for Yang Zhenqing, it should be a good thing.
Although he and Yang Taisheng have never met, when the other party was in retreat, it was a hundred years ago, and his mother was not born, so for Yang Taisheng, he is a junior of his grandchildren, as for why he invited himself to the banquet, it must not be because of friendship, but because he is now Shang Shuling.
I don't see the immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion, have they all been invited?
So this matter is not surprising, Chu Xian is just thinking about it now, this Yang Taisheng, who is said to be known for being tough and domineering, if he knew that the other party's grandson Yang Ke was disabled by himself, I don't know how he would react?
Chu Xian is not a person who thinks about others with such a narrow mind, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, Yang Tai's promotion is a good thing for the Yang family, but not necessarily for himself.
But Chu Xian will not be afraid of the other party, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, whether it is a Hongmen banquet or not, he has to go there.
The restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion is a clever move by Chu Xian, and it is influenced from top to bottom, one ring by one, so that the reform of the entire official system will be much easier.
And this kind of concentration of power to the upper level, weakening the power of the court, can also greatly improve efficiency, to put it simply, the previous court, maybe a priest on the side of the Ministry of Rites may open his mouth to intervene in the military and politics, this is the power of the court officials, you can't say him, but in fact, a layman, how can he guide the right direction?
Therefore, this kind of restructuring is definitely beneficial, and although it cannot be said that there are no weaknesses and defects, it is definitely much more advanced than the previous court system.
Of course, the restructuring of the Shoufu Pavilion is only the first step, and there are still many things that Chu Xian has to do next, and right now, Chu Xian is much busier than before.
In his Shang Shu Ling, the Internal Affairs Office is allowed to handle affairs, and Bai Zijin and several other young officials are in it to help, so that he can be regarded as being able to handle many affairs in Shang Shuling's position clearly.
Of course, Bai Zijin is still borrowing Bai Chuchen's identity, in government affairs, her ability is to impress Chu Xian, Chu Xian has thought more than once, if she continues to use Bai Chuchen's identity to work hard in the officialdom, I am afraid that she will be able to touch the threshold of the first auxiliary pavilion within ten years.
However, this is obviously impossible, although Bai Zijin's identity has been blessed by himself with magic, most people can't see it, but a few masters in the Shoufu Pavilion can still see it, knowing that she is a woman, so she can only help herself in the Shangshuling Internal Affairs Mansion, that's all.
Chu Xian is already very satisfied with the current situation, Bai Zijin didn't know where to go before, this is considered a heart disease on his part, but now that she is under his nose, Chu Xian's heart is much more steady.
To be honest, Chu Xian didn't have so many extravagant things for other things, such as the few spell spirits in his body, suppressing his cultivation, unable to break through the Flying Feather Immortal, no matter what Chu Xian thought, even if it was a master like the Supreme Sect Master, he couldn't think of a way to crack it.
Relatively speaking, Chu Xian knew that he was already quite lucky, because if he was someone else, he had fallen into these kinds of spells, and the grave grass was already five feet tall.
This is not only said by Chu Xian, but also by Qin Yuanmou, the general of the Golden Armor, and the Taishi Xiao Yu, and Chu Xian also went to Tianzhou Academy a few years ago to solve the spell spirit in his body and asked Mr. Ouyang for advice.
As a result, when Mr. Ouyang saw Chu Xian, he also shook his head again and again, saying that there was no way at all, after all, the birth of the Wu Dao was before the Immortal Dao, and the Tianzhou Academy was only the same as the Holy Dynasty, with a history of five thousand years, but the Wu Dao Spell Spirit has existed for more than tens of thousands of years, so it is normal to not find a way to solve it.
The attempts that should have been made have been made, and it can be said that now that Chu Xian can maintain this balance, he is already burning high incense, and of course he will not have any other luxuries.
It can be said that Chu Xian is now only one step away from his ultimate goal of becoming a first-grade immortal official.
But for Chu Xian, he has already realized that this goal is not so much important, but that all this he has now is the most precious.
