Chapter 781: Find a Successor
To Chu Xian's surprise, Wang Shenling did not come, but the latter sent a letter, which was also written very sincerely, and it could be seen that he sincerely congratulated Chu Xian.
However, the top of the Shoufu Pavilion did not come, Xiao Yu Taishi did not come, Yang Zhenqing did not come, Da Situ Da Sima and the two generals, they also did not arrive, that is, the Supreme Sect Master, and they only sent the Qinghe Immortal to say goodbye.
This is also normal, at this time, they will not come to join in the fun, otherwise it will be a bit noisy.
Chu Xian is naturally quite busy.
first went to see Liu Jiwen, who was extremely respectful, even sincere and fearful, and the previous arrogance was like two people.
Chu Xian didn't feel sorry for him, but to be honest, Chu Xian also felt that Liu Jiwen was no longer suitable for the Shoufu Pavilion, and Liu Jiwen did not do a good job in the errand of the household department, but he maintained it, and did not think about breaking through and advancing, which may be enough for ordinary officials, or even better, but as a member of the Shoufu Pavilion, this is a big failure.
But now is not the time.
Chu Xian knew that the Holy Dynasty currently had many shortcomings, just like the previous land system, sometimes it was not conspicuous, nor eye-catching, and there were even no signs, but this did not mean that the shortcomings did not exist or disappeared. As an official, especially a high-ranking official, you must face up to these problems and then correct them, just like a moving carriage, how can there be no problems when the mountain road runs thousands of miles?
Like Liu Jiwen, who knew that there was a problem, but pretended not to see it, and let the carriage continue to move forward, which is not advisable in itself, and some, knowing that there was a problem, were also looking for problems, and even thought of repairing it on the moving carriage, which is the current situation of most of the members of the First Auxiliary Pavilion, but none of them had the courage to stop this carriage and do a thorough repair.
Chu Xian has.
In short, Liu Jiwen must be transferred, but Chu Xian also knows that now is not the time, the main thing is that he has left the household department, there is already a vacancy, if Liu Jiwen is taken away immediately, the left and right waiters on the household side have to be replaced by others, even if they are looking for someone who is familiar with the affairs of the household department, they have to adapt to the time, and some important things may be delayed, after all, the land change has to continue, and someone has to follow up, so Chu Xian has to postpone his action on Liu Jiwen for this plan.
It was Liu Jiwen who was extremely excited to see that Chu Xian was willing to meet him, at least from this point, it could be seen that Chu Xian did not hold on to him.
Liu Jiwen knew that this was an opportunity for himself.
He has to seize this opportunity, work hard, and do things seriously, so that he can keep his position and even go further.
Liu Jiwen was able to enter the Shoufu Pavilion, not all because of Li Yuanming's promotion, he also had some skills, but later focused on studying official skills, but he forgot his original intention.
This time, Liu Jiwen knew very well that what Chu Xian valued most was the continuation of land change, so what Liu Jiwen was thinking about was to continue to implement Chu Xian's decree no matter what, only in this way could Chu Xian be recognized, and only in this way could he have a 'glimmer of life'.
So he came this time just to ask for a chance, if he didn't come to admit his mistake, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a chance.
The family banquet in Chu Mansion was set up four or five tables this time, some were former friends, some were former colleagues, and some were now officials in the Shoufu Cabinet, of course, many of them just sent congratulatory gifts, and after saying goodbye, they left without staying long.
At the banquet, it was definitely a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts, of course, there was a small episode in this process, that is, after Liu Jiwen saw the Hubu Shangshu, his face changed and it was a wonderful one.
Especially when Hubu Shangshu had a cold face at him, it made Liu Jiwen feel like he was on pins and needles.
It can be said that today he has once again offended the Hubu Shangshu, but Liu Jiwen is not simple, a simple person can enter the Shoufu Pavilion?
After completely offending Hubu Shangshu, Liu Jiwen understood that he had only one last way, and that was to get Chu Xian's approval, otherwise he would know that he, a waiter, would not be able to do it for long.
After having this realization in his heart, Liu Jiwen was relieved.
This is more like a kind of metamorphosis in the midst of strong pressure and terrible reality, Liu Jiwen has already begun to think about how to continue to implement and even strengthen the land reform after Chu Xian leaves the household department, and he is not stupid, Chu Xian's land reform should only be the first step, and there must be follow-up actions next, so as long as he follows Chu Xian's footsteps well, as long as he is recognized, he will definitely have a chance to turn over.
In short, each person has his own mind.
When the banquet was over and the guests left, Chu Xian instructed Qi Chengxiang to take today's gift list and look at it, Qi Chengxiang was also quite surprised, you must know that in the past, Chu Xian would never ask about this kind of thing.
However, Qi Chengxiang's character is that he won't ask too much, because he knows that his thoughts will never be able to keep up with Chu Xian.
After reading the gift list, Chu Xian said: "This gift list, go and give a copy to the procuratorate, let the procuratorate see how much it is worth, in addition, the person I asked you to check, have you checked it clearly?"
When Qi Chengxiang heard this, he nodded hurriedly, took out a stack of papers from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Chu Xian.
After Ji Wen got married, he no longer had the ability to influence the Dong Candle Division, so Qi Chengxiang became the only person on Chu Xian's side who could influence the Cave Candle Division.
As the new commander of the army, Qi Chengxiang's influence in the Dong Candle Division is not small, that is second only to the two capitals, and it is relatively easy to find out who is.
Qi Chengxiang went to run errands, and Chu Xian opened the book in his hand and read it himself.
Having achieved the position of Shang Shuling, Chu Xian not only buried himself in things, he had to form his own subordinates, and most importantly, not only in the court, but also in the Shoufu Pavilion.
There has to be at least one.
The former Li Yuanming's subordinate was Liu Jiwen, which is well known, and Liu Jiwen can be favored by Li Yuanming, also because Liu Jiwen is indeed capable, not to mention this for the time being, Chu Xian is now thinking about that he served as Shang Shuling, and the official position of the left servant of the household department was vacant.
You must know that this is a third-grade official position, and the most important thing is that the members of the Shoufu Pavilion, I don't know how many people are staring at it, wanting to seek and dream of taking the position.
But in this matter, Chu Xian had informed Xiao Yu Taishi before, Chu Xian's side has the right to recommend the candidate for Zuo Shilang, in other words, Chu Xian has a large proportion of the decision power in the final candidate.
So of course, Chu Xian will nominate a candidate he likes, that is to say, this Hubu Zuo Shilang will become his cronies in the future.
But who to promote, this is something to consider.
Among the people close to Chu Xian, no one has this qualification, Shen Ziyi is not qualified enough, relatively speaking, Cui Huanzhi has the highest qualifications, but firstly, Cui Huanzhi is not a Dao Immortal, and now he is breaking through the Dao Immortal cultivation in Tianzhou Academy, and secondly, even if Cui Huanzhi cultivates to become a Dao Immortal in the future, it is very likely that he will take over the current Zhongshu Ling, and it is impossible to go to the household department to be a left waiter.
The current Zhongshu Ling is an old Taoist immortal, everyone knows that it is just a transition, and when there is a suitable one, it will be replaced, so that it is equivalent to starting the replacement of the old and the new in the upper echelons of the Shoufu Pavilion.
So Chu Xian could only look for another candidate.
But fortunately, Chu Xian took precautions and had been observing a person for a long time.
This person is Zhuge Hong.
That is, more than three years ago, Zhuge Hong, who was pushed out by the Zhuge family to replace himself as the left servant of the household department, the illegitimate son of Zhuge Yanshan.
Although Chu Xian looked down on Zhuge Yanshan and the declining Zhuge family, Chu Xian still admired Zhuge Hong.
This person's ability is very strong, before he did the history of a state assassin, he didn't get anyone's help, all by his own ability, from being a student in the examination, becoming a small official, and later becoming a state assassin, it took only 20 years, for ordinary people, this is already extremely fast.
From this point, Zhuge Hong is a talent.
In addition, because he didn't grow up in Zhuge at all, the other party didn't have the arrogance of a big family, and some were only down-to-earth, and later because of his high official position, he was discovered and valued by the 'mercenary' Zhuge Yanshan, and announced that Zhuge Hong would be welcomed back to the family in a high-profile manner, and was recognized by the family.
However, in this matter, Zhuge Hong is actually not particularly happy, and his sense of identity with the Zhuge family is also very low, not only because he did not grow up in the Zhuge family, but also because his own concepts are different.
Later, because of Zhuge Yanshan's troubles at the court meeting, Zhuge Hong also came to 'apologize', but he didn't say how Zhuge Yanshan was, but begged Chu Xian not to worry about it, but actually came to intercede.
That's pretty clever.
Let's not talk about whether Zhuge Hong is sincere or not, no matter what the situation is, it shows that Zhuge Hong is a powerful character, and Chu Xian needs a powerful character now, in addition, the other party is still a very loyal person, after all, he is still like this to the Zhuge family, he doesn't like it, but he still maintains it everywhere, so you can know that Zhuge Hong's way of standing is in line with Chu Xian's needs.
In addition, in the past three years, Zhuge Hong has often come to visit, and he has not had too much contact with other forces, and his intentions, Chu Xian is very clear, and the other party obviously intends to worship Chu Xian's side and be protected by Chu Xian's wings.
In this way, after three years of consideration, Dong Zhu Si Tsai carefully checked Zhuge Hong's bottom to the bottom, coupled with Chu Xian's personal test and temptation, it can be said that Zhuge Hong has already met Chu Xian's requirements and is a person who can be used.
So this time, Chu Xian plans to let Zhuge Hong do the position of the left waiter of the household department.
However, this matter has not yet been told to Zhuge Hong, Chu Xian believes that now Zhuge Hong must also be sitting and sleeping, thinking about the position of this auxiliary pavilion.
