It wasn't until he returned to the mansion that Chu Xian really settled down.

Since the above wants to put a burden on himself, how can there be any reason to push it out? What's more, he already has this meaning, but he felt that there were too many competitors before, his qualifications were still shallow, and he wanted to work in the household department for a few more years, but now that the situation has changed, and there is this opportunity, Chu Xian naturally will not refuse.

On the other side, Ji Wen greeted him.

Since marrying Chu Xian, Ji Wen's complexion is much better than before, at this moment she is full of charm, although she is nearly forty years old, but because of cultivation and taking anti-Yan pills, she looks like she is in her twenties at this moment, which is the best age for women.

There is no deceit, no intrigue, the current Ji Wen's life is naturally quite comfortable, and when he saw Chu Xian coming back with a happy face, Ji Wen asked: "Husband has a blessed face today, is there something good?"

I have to say that Ji Wen has a very good way of seeing people, Chu Xian nodded: "I really told you to be right." ”

Ji Wen was stunned for a moment, Chu Xian deliberately only said half a sentence, she naturally didn't react at once, at this time she was curious: "What did I say?"

Chu Xian laughed: "Guess!"

Outside, Chu Xian is a majestic immortal official, and at home, he naturally has to relax a lot, especially when he is newly married to Ji Wen, of course, he has to have some little feelings.

Ji Wen thought about it very seriously, and then said: "There was no such blessing before the husband went out, that is to say, this time I went to see Xiao Yu, I must have gained, and recently I and my husband have not talked about officialdom, the only time is before we got married, I sent the fox girl to send a letter, saying that the position of Shang Shuling, the husband can go to fight, plus the recent competition for the position of Shang Shuling against each other, the candidate has been undecided, so the concubine guessed, is it about this matter?"

Ji Wen's last sentence was questioning, staring at Chu Xian with big eyes, Chu Xian was dumbfounded, Ji Wen actually said it all, and obviously it was not a random guess, but a reasonable and well-founded speculation.

Obviously, Ji Wen is very successful in the art of pushing cases, Chu Xian heard people say before that Ji Wen's favorite reading is the theory of case deduction written by himself, and now it seems that it should be right.

Chu Xian's expression and reaction like this, Ji Wen was also stunned, and then showed a look of surprise: "Could it be that the concubine guessed correctly? Is it really Shang Shuling's location? Could it be that Xiao Yu's favorite candidate is the husband?"

Chu Xian nodded, Ji Wen was really ecstatic this time.

For officialdom, she is more concerned than Li Ziyun and Concubine Luo, and she understands what Shang Shuling's official position means, if entering the Shoufu Pavilion is already beyond the reach of most officials, then Shang Shuling's level of official position is beyond the reach of most immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion.

The immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion, there are more than 20 in total, and these more than 20 are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Chu Xian, one of the six servant officials, belongs to the lowest level of existence in the Shoufu Pavilion, and like the six Shangshu and the like, it is only the middle level, under the Zhongshu Order, the Zhongshu Order belongs to the official position between the middle and upper levels, and Xiao Yu did the Zhongshu Order back then.

And on top of this, there are only a few positions on the upper floor of the Shoufu Pavilion, and the left and right Taishi are naturally the highest, since ancient times, the left is respected, and the left is higher than the right, so Xiao Yu, the first seat, is the left Taishi, and Yang Zhenqing belongs to the second person, the right Taishi. In addition, there are also Da Situ, Da Sima, General Jin Jia and General Yu at the same level, as well as Shang Shuling, which is the second grade, so in terms of level, Shang Shuling is one level higher than Zhongshu Ling.

Ji Wen knew this, so he was ecstatic, because if this matter was done, Chu Xian would be equivalent to becoming a high-level member of the Shoufu Pavilion, which was equivalent to jumping two levels at once.

But there are pros and cons to everything, Ji Wen knows very well that if Chu Xian jumps two levels and ascends to the position of Shang Shuling, he will face more challenges and doubts than others, and at the same time, he will also face the hostility of many people.

At least this time, the officials competing for Shang Shuling will be somewhat hostile to Chu Xian in their hearts, even if they don't show it, it doesn't mean that they don't.

After the surprise, Ji Wen began to remind, Chu Xian also nodded, Ji Wen's worries, he naturally thought about it, but everything is like this, you can't stop because of other people's doubts, doesn't this prove that others are right?

So no matter what the situation, you have to move on.

Ji Wen ran to tell the rest of the family the good news, Chu Xian has more things to do here, and this matter is basically the same, so the things on the household side must be prepared to hand over the next successor.

Fortunately, many things have been arranged for Chu Xian to be on the right track, no matter who takes over Zuo Shilang's position, as long as it is implemented according to the current plan, there will be no problems, not to mention, after he takes office as Shang Shuling, he can better implement the change, and Chu Xian is happy to do so, because many ideas in the past could not be implemented due to the official position, and after becoming the Shang Shu Order, it can be carried out, which is the key to making Chu Xian accept the appointment of Xiao Yu without hesitation.

The news that Master Xiao Yu summoned Chu Xian alone, although it was secret, it was impossible to be truly airtight, not to mention, neither Master Xiao Yu nor Chu Xian deliberately hid this matter, so on the same day, the news spread, although I don't know what these two talked about, but there are already various versions of speculation.

Some say that it is an ordinary summons, Chu Xian, as the promoter and leader of the land system change, Xiao Yu Taishi has always attached great importance to this matter, so he often asks Chu Xian to understand the situation.

There is also a saying, which is very interesting, that is, Xiao Yu Taishi is asking Chu Xian, who should do the Shangshu order, which is equivalent to soliciting and considering Chu Xian's opinion, guessing this, there is also a lot of basis, in recent years, although Chu Xian is just a waiter, but the right to speak in the Shoufu Pavilion is increasing day by day, not only in terms of authority, there is the title of half of the household book, in terms of discourse, it is on par with the six books, and other waiters, that is very envious, but there is no way at all.

As for the last speculation, it is extremely bold, that is, Xiao Yu Taishi intends to promote Chu Xian to Shang Shuling.

However, not many people believe in this speculation.

After all, Chu Xian did not show any intention to compete for Shang Shuling's official position, this was not only said, but also done, everyone's eyes were bright, what the real competitors were doing, and what the non-competitors were doing, it was clear at a glance, so for this remark, although it was vigorous, few people believed it.

The next day, the first auxiliary cabinet level meeting was held before the court meeting, which was already a regular meeting, and it could generally be ended in half an hour at most, and the number of people in the first auxiliary cabinet was much smaller than that of the court meeting, so many things were decided very quickly and more efficiently.

It's just that what has been pending recently is the candidate for Shang Shuling.

It can be said that the candidates for Shang Shuling are only selected within the First Auxiliary Cabinet, and there are many qualified candidates, and the popular ones are those three or four, but these three or four are not able to choose one, and the two regular meetings of the First Auxiliary Cabinet have not passed.

Today is the third time.

Wang Shenling, Hubu Shangshu, and Rite Shangshu, these three are the strongest competitors in Shangshuling, they arrived early, naturally, at their level, it is impossible to directly express any likes and dislikes, so even if they are like life and death enemies during this time, but when they meet, they can still smile and say some polite words, and they don't know how good their relationship is.

Waiting for the other immortal officials to arrive one after another, Master Xiao Yu, who presided over the meeting, said directly: "Since they are all here, let's discuss the matter." ”

Some things, must be discussed in the first auxiliary pavilion before the court meeting, this is also the practice of the first auxiliary pavilion, several things are carried out quickly, and finally Xiao Yu Taishi said: "There are only the candidates left in Shangshu Ling, the first two times did not set a personal candidate, this is a rare thing in the past, I think, it is better to add more candidates, the ministry has already drawn up a list of qualified candidates? This time it is all counted, everyone considers comprehensively, and chooses again, I hope that this time there will be a result." ”

After becoming the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion, Xiao Yu's style of doing things is much more vigorous than before, after all, it is the first seat, and that kind of right to speak is not comparable to the middle book order of the year.

After Master Xiao Yu said this, Wang Shenling and several other candidates immediately changed their faces.

Today is clearly a little different.

However, this is also to blame for not seizing the opportunity, they have already listed the four of them as the most likely candidates, and they were only selected among the four of them before, but they were not selected twice, so this time to expand the candidates, they have nothing to say, in this way, there are more candidates, and the previous votes can be dispersed, so it is almost impossible to achieve half of the support.

Therefore, they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Yu's gourd.

But in any case, they can only agree that the first seat cannot decide who will hold the official position, but at least they can decide how to choose.

Wang Shenling and they are all old officialdom, judging from the fact that Master Xiao Yu did not play cards according to the routine today, he immediately sniffed out that something was wrong, and knew that there were other moths going to come out today.

Thinking of the previous rumors, Master Xiao Yu met Chu Xian alone, could it be that Chu Xian came up with this bad idea?

They hope that this is the case, and they are afraid that it is another possibility.

At this time, a person walked in outside, it was actually the Supreme Sect Master, who usually did not come to attend the Shoufu Pavilion meeting, so the sudden arrival of the Supreme Sect Master today naturally surprised many people, and the status of the Supreme Sect Master was extremely high, so everyone immediately stood up to greet each other.
