Chapter 440 The Ministry of Rites, take office!
"Wang Kang... do you have ambition?"
On the young face of Emperor Zhao, he stared at him deeply, as if he wanted to see through all his thoughts!
It's indeed this problem,
He had asked himself this question before when he talked to his father.
Emperor Zhao supported the upstart as a knife to fight against the old nobles. Since it was a knife and had its own handle, it would naturally be held in his hands!
At this moment, Wang Kang did not dare to look down on this young Emperor Zhao at all. It must be of extraordinary significance to be able to get out of so many princes...
Thoughts flashed, and Wang Kang said directly: "I don't!"
He really didn't, that's the truth.
"I believe in you,"
Emperor Zhao also spoke directly,
"Forehead……"
Wang Kang was a little surprised. Is this the truth or the lies? He couldn't understand it either.
"By the way, there is something I'm very curious about, how did you make five hundred people defeat five thousand people?"
Emperor Zhao asked casually.
"Forehead,"
Wang Kang suddenly stopped. It was on the day of the wedding. Han Yu, the Bo Yongding of the Boss Han Yu, sent someone to attack. He opposed the Shenji Camp and wiped out all of them...
Now Emperor Zhao asked, what does it mean?
"You have your little secret, I'll just ask if the steel you made can be sold to the court?"
"sure,"
“What about the price,”
"The price will not be high, and I will only sell it to the court," Wang Kang said again.
"Okay, I'll ask Zhou Er to contact you for specific matters."
After a few words, a business was settled, but Wang Kang's back was filled with cold sweat.
I can not ask for a while, how can you fight for five hundred and five thousand, but you must give me some benefits,
For the imperial court, steel is naturally what is needed most, to build weapons and protect...
Wang Kang could only cooperate, which is a potential hint.
"Okay, that's all for today's conversation. I still have some memorials to review,"
At this time, Emperor Zhao interrupted his thoughts, "Wang Kang, I don't care about the outside world, how I see you, but I know your talents."
"As long as you help me wholeheartedly, you have no other intentions. As long as I am the Zhao family, then your Fuyang flag will always be there!"
"This is my promise to you!"
Wang Kang's body trembled, and what he saw was a sincere look on his face.
He could see that what Emperor Zhao said should be from the heart!
For the king of a country, this is already a great emperor's favor...
Wang Kang left, the first time he met, the conversation was not long, but it was enough for him to know more.
If you have such a king, you don’t know whether it is a blessing or a disaster.
Now, I can only look at what's happening in front of me.
After Wang Kang left, Emperor Zhao asked, "Wei Xian, what do you think of Wang Kang?"
What he asked was an old eunuch around him. The old eunuch was in his seventies, with wrinkles and ravines on his face, a hunched waist, and a trembling trembling...
But no one dares to underestimate it.
Because he is the eunuch general manager, Jiang Chengli, he has served three generations of kings.
Wei Xian said in a low voice: "I know what this son did before and look at the present day's appearance, so it is very rare. It should be able to assist Your Majesty and achieve great achievements..."
This evaluation is already very high.
"Just..." Wei Xian said again: "The more such a person is, the wider his heart will be, the more rebellious he is, and the harder he is to control,"
"I can't figure it out. Your Majesty, do you really believe that he has no ambitions? Some of his secrets in Xinfeng have not been found out yet..."
"I believe him..."
Emperor Zhao said in a deep voice: "Because I can feel his experience deeply. If it weren't for the emperor's brother, how could I be willing to sit on this throne and stay in this deep prison for a long time?"
"Isn't it beautiful to be a prince of Xiaoyao..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xian lowered his head and kept silent. He knew about this, but he could not participate in the evaluation...
At this moment, Wang Kang had already come out of the palace. In addition to Huang Xin, there was another person following him, who was a second-rank senior official, Minister of Rites, and Yan Liqun!
It turned out that Emperor Zhao had already asked this person to wait for him and sent him to the Ministry of Rites to take office.
The Minister of Rites personally gave it to him, which was to promote Wang Kang.
At his age, it was very rare among the six officials in the central government of the court, not to mention that he could become the chief officer of the first department, and there was no such person.
The officialdom emphasizes qualifications. Without qualifications and experience, how can you convince the public?
It can be said that Emperor Zhao made a very thoughtful arrangement.
"It's really a blessing that Lord Shangshu has given him," Wang Kang said politely.
There are naturally ways to get along with each other in the officialdom. Wang Kang is also exploring this point, at least he should understand etiquette.
If you can sit in the position of Shangshu, you must be a confidant of Emperor Zhao, and this should be the case.
“Where, where,”
Yan Liqun is 60 years old and has a slightly fat figure. Although he is the Minister of Rites, he is not as stern as an official of the Ministry of Rites and has no official airs.
He said, "The doctor of the host and guest department has always been vacant. Before, Emperor Zhao told me that he would make arrangements in person. I was still wondering who it would be?"
"Now I know it's you,"
"Wang Kang, you are very famous in the court!"
Wang Kang knew what he was talking about. A teaching and war strategy caused endless debate in the court and also made his name spread everywhere.
"Mr. Shangshu praised it. Even if it is famous, it is probably notorious!" Wang Kang said with a smile.
"Ha ha,"
Yan Liqun smiled and said, "To be honest, I have been looking forward to you for a long time. Those envoys from Yue Kingdom are making a big fuss and no one presided over it, it's difficult!"
"How long have they been here?"
Wang Kang asked.
"It's been seven or eight days,"
Yan Liqun said, then came to Wang Kang and whispered: "You should understand that this matter is not a trivial matter. When dealing with it, you must be cautious and not be reckless!"
Wang Kang's eyes narrowed and he bowed, "Thank you for your warning, sir,"
A few people talked and came to the Ministry of Rites soon.
The Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments of the imperial court.
The five rituals of the country are used to manage school affairs and imperial examinations, and exchanges between vassals and foreign countries. The yamen is naturally elegant.
With the guidance of the Minister of Rites, it was very smooth to walk in. Wang Kang looked around curiously, and the courtyard was divided into houses. People coming and going were in a hurry.
"Sir, you are finally back,"
At this moment, an official was so busy that he ran by.
"What's wrong?" Yan Liqun asked.
"It's about the imperial examination questions. If you have important things, please decide."
“Must be now?”
"yes,"
Yan Liqun frowned slightly,
"Sir Yan is here to do it first, I can go there myself," Wang Kang said.
"When I finish the matter, I will go there," Yan Liqun said, and said to the officials coming, "Tao Ran, go and take him to the host and guest office,"
"yes,"
After Yan Liqun left, Tao Ran looked at Wang Kang curiously and said in surprise: "From your clothes, can you be the new head of the host and guest department?"
"I am, I don't know why the adults are,"
"My name is Taoran, and I am the doctor of the ritual department."
"It turns out it's Lord Tao, who is disrespectful and disrespectful,"
Wang Kang held his fist and said, "My name is Wang Kang. I will offer sacrifices to you after the scriptures. I hope Lord Tao will take care of you more,"
The Yishi Department is also one of the four departments of the Ministry of Rites, but its power and duties are much greater than that of the host and guest departments, and is the leader of the four departments.
Upon hearing this, Tao Ran was stunned and then said, "I think you are given by Lord Shangshu in person, so I guess you have a background, but this doctor in the host and guest department is really not a good job, so you should ask for your own blessing..."
