Chapter 385: The Real Prime Minister
A month later, in Chang'an, the Dacheng imperial capital, Guo Jia, who had just come out of seclusion, poured a glass of wine for Xi Zhicai and said warmly: "Zeus finally gave the exquisite fruit to Athena. Now she is the third main god to rest in peace."
After being stunned, Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, holding the wine glass and said, "You are worried that I can't stand it."
"A little bit" Guo Jia said honestly. Although he was not very clear about Xi Zhicai's feelings for Athena. However, he really understood one thing very well. Although Xi Zhicai was full of talent and had a modest and gentle personality, he did have a pride. Now, from his identity, he was far inferior to Athena who had become the main god and stood in the strongest position.
After Xi Zhicai smiled softly, he shook his head and said, "You should know very well that it is impossible for someone to be with her. When you hear that she has such an opportunity, to be honest, there is nothing else except happiness. Rest in peace and adjoining Rome. With more strength, she will be more safe."
"Haha, what about you?" Guo Jia said.
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he said seriously: "I am now accompanying the right prime minister and dealing with the government affairs of the country, which is also very satisfied."
"You are satisfied, but the right prime minister is not satisfied." Guo Jia smiled and waved his hand gently. The maids and servants serving next to him bowed and retreated.
"What does this mean by worshiping Xiao?" Xi Zhicai said a little confused.
"The world is getting bigger and bigger and more prosperous, but at the same time it is getting stranger. Many things seem to have returned to the ancient era of the gods. The right prime minister wants to go further, so he has already resigned to His Majesty and recommended you as the Zhongshu Academy's Zhongshu Order to coordinate the great national affairs." Guo Jia said seriously.
After Xi Zhicai's expression changed, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can this be..."
"Don't worry, Zhicai," Guo Jia pressed his hand and said, "Actually, you should understand that in the eyes of thousands of people, the Zhongshu Ling is so powerful, but in fact, for our old ministers, this is not a good position. Someone gave the right to the Imperial City Minister to Man Chong. The Zuo Prime Minister has continuously reduced his control over the Privy Council, the Imperial City Minister and the Privy Council. There are fewer things to do, and the Zhongshu Academy does have jurisdiction over the six ministries and coordinates the national civil affairs and economy. Now I have thousands of people, and there are so many things to do. Once you get to power, although you will get some opportunities, you also lack the opportunity to practice hard and move towards the sky."
After being stunned, Xi Zhicai said, "Fengxiao, is this what Your Majesty means, or yours?"
"You and I are the best friends, and I don't hide it from you. Your Majesty is a little moved. Compared to being close and alienated, you can't compare with the right person. But if you don't want to, you can recommend others on your behalf. You can go to Penglai with me," Guo Jia said in a gentle voice.
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Zhongshu Ling, who was in charge of the world, has now become a position that is disliked."
"Zhicai..."
"Wenxiao, do you still remember our ambitions when we were young?" Xi Zhicai asked back.
Guo Jia was stunned and shook his head and said, "It seems that someone is too narrow-minded. With a talented person in charge, you will be holding the world on your shoulders. This pressure is really great!!"
.....
Half a month later, outside Penglai Island, Xi Zhicai followed Shen Fu slowly on the beach.
"Zhicai, there are actually candidates?" Shen Fu turned his head and said reluctantly after being slightly silent.
"Your Majesty, I am willing. Compared to the misty path of a strong man, I prefer to see Dacheng's people and live a healthy life. I have two lords in my life. The first one is not wrong. Unfortunately, I was unable to go to the end with him in the end. Your Majesty is my second. I am willing to devote myself to Dacheng until the end." After Xi Zhicai said with a firm look, he knelt down and kowtowed slowly.
Chen Fu looked at it and immediately stepped forward, personally helped Xi Zhicai up, and said with relief: "Okay, I can only be loyal to me if I can win, which is more precious than the so-called superb magical fruit. Zhicai, I will hand over the great success of the people to you. I believe that with your efforts, Dacheng will flourish unprecedentedly."
"Thank you Your Majesty" Xi Zhicai said gratefully.
"Maybe Fengxiao told you something, but in fact he hasn't made it clear yet. This time it's not just a minister of the Central Secretariat, but also the left prime minister. I want to promote you to the real prime minister." Chen Fu said with a smile.
"What" Xi Zhicai was shocked.
Chen Fu suddenly waved his hand lightly, and Wei Zhong ran over with a wooden box not far away.
After Chen Fu opened it gently, he saw a fruit that seemed to be covered with scales, like a blue sky, lying inside, bursts of fragrance spread.
"This is the ultimate supernatural power fruit. It has created a Buddha and a main god. Now I am the one who has accomplished this step. I have long been a true prime minister who has achieved great success in military affairs," Chen Fu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty" Xi Zhicai was shocked for the first time.
"This was originally prepared for Gong Yan, but Gong Yan was not in the court. He wanted to devote himself to practicing. But he said that the only one who can inherit his position in the world is Zhicai, and Zhicai, who is qualified to enjoy this fruit."
"No, Your Majesty, I will never dare to be such a magical object," Xi Zhicai said immediately.
"Haha, is it that my interest rate difference compared to Kushan?" Chen Fu asked.
"Of course not"
"Then my great prime minister is not as good as his Kushan Buddha," Chen Fu said seriously.
"His Majesty.."
"You don't have to worry. If you want to coordinate the government, you not only need your own talent and ability, but also your strength and martial arts are indispensable. In addition, my sons are growing up one by one, so you can watch for me," said Chen Fu.
Xi Zhicai was stunned, looked at the superb magical fruit in the box, and after hesitation, he knelt down and said, "I thank Your Majesty for the reward, please rest assured. I swear to protect the royal family to the death, protect Dacheng, and protect the people of the world."
"Okay" Chen Fu nodded with satisfaction.
....
Three days later, Zhou Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, resigned, and Chen Fu ordered the appointment of Xi Zhicai as the Minister of Revenue, and at the same time appointed Yu Jin as the commander of the Northern Yai, Xu Chu was the Grand Governor of the Yulin Guard, and promoted many of Cao Cao's generals to the central Chang'an one by one.
In addition, Jiang Wanyan was unwell and wanted to temporarily assist in the important matters of the Secretariat. The supervisor Shen Wen immediately ordered that Xi Zhicai be responsible for the two-month imperial examination.
These actions made everyone understand that His Majesty wanted to support Xi Zhicai to take office. Jiang Wan, the Dacheng Pillar of the Kingdom who had been in the Dacheng Kingdom for almost twenty years, was going to step down to Penglai, the fairyland, but many people still looked down on this action.
Three months later, after the perfect end of the imperial examination, the state supervisor Shen Wen conveyed the imperial edict of Chen Fu, appointed Xi Zhicai as the prime minister of Dacheng, the second principal of the Privy Council, and the second principal of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Personnel. At the same time, Hua Xin was replaced by Hua Xin as the chief of the Zhidi General Office, and the second imperial department. It can be said that the military and political supervision was in charge of the whole world, completely controlling the power of the world, and the great power was even greater than that of the state supervisor Shen Wen at that time, which shocked Dacheng's officialdom.
