Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 790 Li Yifu

Wang Pingan quickly went to the gate, and as soon as he entered the yamen, he called out: "Masters, do you have any urgent business, the truth is free today, you can use the seal!"

The officials in Dongtai were all taken aback. What happened? Why did the third prime minister come to work suddenly, and still need to use a seal?The officials quickly came out of their respective rooms, expressing that they had no urgent official duties, and even if they had, they would all be sent to the Minister of State for approval by the eldest grandson.

Wang Pingan didn't even enter the lobby, and said with a smile: "I don't have official business, that's great, the truth is true, you should go home early!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

The officials in Dongtai looked at each other, okay, look at how handsome Wang Xiangye is when he is an official, waving his sleeves, without taking half of his official duties.If you enter the door with your front foot, you will be on duty, and if you go out with your back foot, you will be on duty!

Wang Pingan left the palace and rushed to Shangshu Province.Shang Shusheng is not the same as his Menxia Province. Officials are busy, going in and out, but not like Menxia Province. Officials are all sitting in the room, waiting for the next duty to go home and hug their wives.

Wang Pingan entered the yamen, beckoned to an official, and asked, "Is your eldest grandson in the yamen?"

The official grinned and thought: "This Prime Minister is really funny, you can just ask me, but it is your eldest grandson who is asking? Doesn't he know who I am?"

The official said with a smile: "Prince Wang, don't you recognize me as an official? I am serving in the lower provinces, and I am your direct subordinate! Just because you are not handling official business in Dongtai, so I have no choice but to send the official documents to my eldest grandson. It was reviewed by him!"

Wang Pingan said ah, and remembered that this official met once when he called the roll call.He said: "Well, you have recognized the truth, very good. The truth was to test you just now, to see if you recognize me as a Shangguan. Very good, you have passed the test."

The official smiled again, turned around and pointed, and said: "Master Changsun is not in the lobby, but in the second hall at the back, he is holding a meeting with the officials of the Ministry of Households, asking them to raise the food and salaries needed for the army's expedition. As soon as you go in You can see him."

Wang Pingan hummed, and walked in. The official looked at his back from behind, moved his lips, and wanted to follow up, say a few more words to Wang Pingan, and report his name, so that Wang Pingan could respond to him. Make an impression on yourself.But on another thought, Wang Pingan didn't care about anything, even if he knew his name, he wouldn't promote him.The official shook his head, walked out of the gate of Shangshu Province, and wanted to rush back to Dongtai.

Just as he was about to get in the carriage, he suddenly heard someone calling him from a distance. He looked up and saw a carriage approaching in the distance, with a head sticking out of the window, it was actually Xu Jingzong, the former Minister of Zhongshu.

The official had a smile on his face, and hurried to meet him. Before the carriage stopped, he clasped his fists and said, "Master Xu, we haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been? It seems that you have become more blessed. Have a good time!" He followed the carriage for a few steps, and when the carriage stopped in front of Shang Shusheng's door, he opened the door and gestured to help Xu Jingzong get out of the carriage.

Xu Jingzong really lived these days as smoothly as he wanted, as if he was in heaven every day.He loves money all his life, and the ultimate goal of being an official is to get rich, and even marrying his daughter has to calculate the gift money.

Originally, after Xu Jingzong was repaired last time, he thought that his life was finished, and he would not have a bright future, but Wang Pingan transferred him to the Inspiration Temple to be responsible for the construction of the Tongtian Buddha, and from the repair of the Tongtian Buddha. Out of countless business.Now, Xu Jingzong is like a fish in water. For him, passing money every day is much more comfortable than being an official in Zhongshu Province.For him, it doesn't matter how much money is hidden at home, but controlling how much money is the most important thing, especially being able to control other people's money, that is simply a thing of heaven to him.What he is doing now is tantamount to the ancient financial business, what he is playing with is capital, which is exactly what he wants!
Xu Jingzong got off the carriage with a red face, looked at the official in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Yifu, I haven't seen you for a while, are you still serving as a pawn under the door?" He saw that the official's official uniform was dark. Qing Se is a petty official of the eighth rank, so I have this question.

The name of this official was Li Yifu, and he was a very famous person in Li Zhi's time. He was nicknamed Li Mao, and he was Wu Meiniang's imperial sycophant.After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was supposed to be the supervisor of the censor, the official position of the eighth grade, but due to a slight deviation in history, his official position was not promoted, so now he is still a small provincial Dianyi, who is ordered by others Come on, do some errands.

Li Yifu is very embarrassed, he is not too young, he is already in his thirties and rushing around, he has no ambitions, but he is still a ceremonial official, it is also a helpless thing, there is no way, there is no Shangguan's appreciation , It is as difficult as climbing the sky to be promoted.

With dry laughs, Li Yifu said: "Responding to Mr. Xu's words, the subordinate officials are still serving in the lower provinces. Some time ago, I got news that they could be promoted to the supervisory censor, but for some reason there was no movement."

"The supervisory censor is not very big, I have wronged brother Yifu." Xu Jingzong patted Li Yifu on the shoulder and said, "Your mind is quick, brother, why don't you move around? You are in your prime now, and you are ready to show your strengths." It's a good time. By the way, now that Master Wang is in charge of the family, he is the best at speaking, why don't you flatter him?"

Xu Jingzong said the word flattering, as if it was a matter of course. If you want to get promoted, it's normal to flatter your boss. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Li Yifu was really not embarrassed at all, instead he sighed and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Xu doesn't know something, the Prime Minister doesn't care about anything, he doesn't even go to the yamen, although the officials want to curry favor, they have no way out. what!"

While talking, he turned his head towards the door of Shangshu Province, raised his chin, and said, "I saw Wang Xiangye inside just now, and he actually regarded me as an official of Shangshu Province, and he didn't remember me at all. Who is it!"

One of Xu Jingzong's old fritters, one can understand from Li Yifu's expression, since the two met just now, Li Yifu must not be interested in stepping forward to curry favor, probably because he thinks that Wang Ping'an's official method is wrong, and he can't be a prime minister for a long time, so there is no need to curry favor , of no use.

Xu Jingzong said: "Brother Yifu, you are wrong, you are very wrong! Do you think that you can be promoted if you work a lot? You are wrong, because everyone has meritorious service, that's why you can be promoted. Think about it, right now Because Wang Xiangye doesn't do any work, those jobs should be done by the subordinates, he just uses a seal, so any credit for the subordinates will be credited to the subordinates. It doesn't matter, you're just under the door, think about it, everyone says he doesn't go to work, but some people say that the official business is delayed because of this, so they speak ill of Wang Xiangye?"

Li Yifu was taken aback, he hadn't reached the level of Li Mao at this time, he was far less smooth than Xu Jingzong, but he understood after hearing it.He nodded and said: "It's strange to say that no one has said that Wang Xiangye is not qualified to be a prime minister!"

Xu Jingzong spread his hands, and said: "That's it, and other prime ministers will only second the proposal when they see Wang Xiangye, and never look down on Yao'ezi. Can the master not want him to save money under the sect, if it is replaced by someone else, wouldn't the power be taken back again, that would be so boring!"

Li Yifu suddenly understood, and said: "It turns out that the secret of becoming an official is not that I can get any benefits, but what others can get because of me, so that I can keep going up!"

Xu Jingzong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's the thing, you finally got the hang of it. Wang Xiangye doesn't work. Once there is a job, he has to find someone to do it. He doesn't remember anyone, but he just remembers someone. The name belongs to your brother in Yifu, so the job is yours. After the job is finished, you say it was directed by Wang Xiangye. When Wang Xiangye is happy, can you not be promoted? So, Wang Xiangye Master's thighs are thick and strong, you have to try to hug them, don't let go!"

After giving some pointers, Xu Jingzong said: "The old man came to Shangshu Province for business, so I'll go in now, brother Yifu, go back quickly, what should you do, find the right opportunity, and run up!" Hehe laughed a few times Sound, he entered Shangshu province.

Li Yifu stood at the door for a while, thinking: "Looking for an opportunity, I really want to look for an opportunity, but where is the opportunity?"

Wang Pingan went to the second hall, and saw Changsun Wuji sitting behind the big case, with a large group of officials standing in front of him, so he didn't go in, just smiled at Changsun Wuji outside the door, and stood aside, pretending to look at the scenery .

Changsun Wuji understood that Wang Ping'an would go to the Three Treasures Hall if he had nothing to do, if he didn't come, he must have something to do, he waved his hand and said: "Let's discuss here today, tomorrow please be early."

The officials immediately resigned. When they saw Wang Ping'an when they went out, they flattered them a lot.

After entering the second hall, Wang Pingan said: "Master Uncle, my nephew came from the Palace of Ganlu, and I heard from the emperor that he intends to let you parade the army on behalf of the emperor and preside over the expedition."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji stood up from the chair with an ahhh, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face instantly, but the expression came and went even faster, passed by in a flash, and then returned to normal. calm.He didn't sit down any more, but stretched out his arms, twisted his waist, and said, "Sitting for a long time, my waist is sore and my back hurts, I need to move around!"

Seeing that he was hiding his joy, Wang Pingan said with a smile, "Uncle, this is a tiring job. If you don't want to do it, you might as well push it away."

Changsun Wuji hummed, and said: "If the emperor has a decree, as a courtier, how can you refuse to do it? Are you the same as you when you are an old man, and you know how to hide and take it easy." After a pause, he asked: "What else did the emperor say?"

Wang Ping'an said: "I also said that the gate of the city is not closed day and night. It has the meaning of accepting the sea and the river, and there is nothing else!"

Changsun Wuji nodded lightly, thinking: "A military parade on behalf of the emperor, this is a big event, there is no precedent in this court, I have to discuss it with Chu Suiliang and the others." He said: "You came to talk to the old man about this. ?”
