Chapter Twenty-Five: No Peace of Mind
When Chen Xinli said that he wanted to be promoted to Zhaomo Division, Chen Yunfu was a little moved, but it was fleeting.
The experience of being in politics in his previous life always reminds Chen Yunfu: Don’t worry about things that you shouldn’t worry about, as all your efforts will be in vain.
Is this something Chen Yunfu can care about?
No matter how much the inspector is a sesame mung bean official, he is still an official.
I am a fourteen-year-old child who has just entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I can’t even remember how many rooms there are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I still want to be an official?
That's really an official obsession.
To take a step back, even if Chen Yunfu went to Shao Zhi, it would not necessarily be a good thing if Shao Zhi gave him the face to let Chen Yunfu take this step.
When did Zhu Yuanzhang think of him, Chen Yunfu, and asked, "What has the little guy been doing recently?"
After that, the old eunuch Baoxiang poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and told Lao Zhu what he thought.
This kid has been a fan of officials since he was a child, and he still used the connections to go to Shao Zhi and ask for an official?
This is not greed for power.
If he were to hold a high position in the future, wouldn't he be the second Hu Weiyong?
no!
In fact, at this moment, Chen Xinli's purpose of organizing this dinner was already obvious.
Ask for a bribe!
He talked to all the officials in the Zhaomo Division and told them that he was going to be promoted and that a position for school inspection would be available, and more importantly, this position was recommended.
Who has the right to recommend?
Of course it was him, Chen Xinli.
Everyone else is just a white-haired official with a shitty recommendation right.
There was no such thing as people's election in Ming Dynasty.
After going around and around until the end, it still depends on what Chen Xinli says to Ge Sidao.
Oh, yes, Ge Sidao is the one who has experienced the experience of Si, who is the top leader of the Outer Court.
The censors are all great leaders, but they don't have time to attend to a mere ninth-grade inspection.
As long as Ge Sidao nodded, who among the censors would have the time to argue about this matter.
"I don't know how much Chen Xinli plans to ask for."
Chen Yunfu sighed inwardly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is anti-corruption, but you are also corrupt.
But so what, Chen Xinli never said a word about asking for a bribe from the beginning to the end. What he said was written down on paper, and no one could find fault with it. You said it was asking for a bribe, how dirty of a heart are you.
As for whether the subtext can be heard, it depends on the understanding of everyone present.
Anyway, there are no fools in this room today. In addition to congratulating Chen Xinli, many of them are glaring and saying that they want to give Chen Xinli a gift.
"Yunfu, although you are young, you should encourage me and follow Gan Luo and Zhou Lang as examples."
Well, Chen Xinli saw that Chen Yunfu was indifferent, so in order to wake up the latter, even Gan Luo Zhou Yu moved out.
These two people, one became Qin Qing (prime minister) at the age of twelve, and the other became the governor of Soochow at the age of twenty-six. They are both examples of young success.
It's good now. It's bad enough to be dragged out by Chen Xinli to compare and contrast.
Of course Chen Yunfu could understand what Chen Xinli was saying, but he still pretended to be stupid and said: "Yes, I will remember that in the future, I will follow the example of these two sages and study hard day and night and work hard."
Why is this child so ignorant?
Chen Xinli sighed inwardly, after all, you are also a young man who lives in No. 3 A, North of Liren Street. If you have never eaten pork, you must have seen pigs running. Why can't you understand what adults are saying?
"Well, that's good, but in addition to studying hard, you should also listen more to the words of the elders to avoid detours. You should also listen to your father's teachings more in the future."
As the old saying goes, you can never wake someone who is pretending to sleep.
Chen Xinli didn't care if Chen Yunfu was pretending to sleep. Since he couldn't wake him up, he would go find someone who was awake.
If you, Chen Yunfu, don't understand, then go home and tell the adults in your family. The old man in charge of your family can understand.
But how did he know that Chen Yunfu was an orphan, and Shao Zhi would not tell anyone about Chen Yunfu's previous experience as a monk.
There is no such thing as too much leisure.
Apart from the neighbors who live near Chen Yunfu's house, the only other people who know about it is Shao Zhi.
As for people like Chen Xinli and Shi Pu.
Hehe, they can't live in Beishanjia.
At this time, there was almost no time for Chen Yunfu to speak, because the whole room was drowned by everyone's congratulations.
Especially the former Ding Jitong was the most active.
This guy was holding a wine bottle and stood beside Chen Xinli.
"Chen Jianxiao, oh no, Chen Zhaomo."
"I'm just a substitute, and the appointment of the staff hasn't been conveyed yet."
"You have always been in our Zhaomo Department and you are Qingtian Baiyuzhu. Wu Zhaomo and Dingyou have returned to their hometown. Everyone in the Zhaomo Department depends on you to keep everything in order. How could the officials refuse their orders?"
Ding Jitong bowed his waist and poured the wine, and kept talking as if he was full of energy: "It just so happened that the subordinate's uncle was reporting on his work in the Ministry of Personnel. My uncle was usually very concerned about the subordinate's work in Zhaomo Division, and he did so more than once
You said that the subordinates should follow your example and work hard to encourage themselves."
Sure enough, no wonder Ding Jitong is so arrogant and has so much energy behind him.
Chen Xinli turned his head away, with a bright smile on his face: "Ji Tong has said before, I just did my duty. The superior officer of the Ministry of Personnel has his own considerations. We just have to obey the order."
Chen Yunfu just pretended to be invisible to the exchange between the two, and kept his head buried in eating. At this time, a colleague named Gao Zhi next to him poked Chen Yunfu.
The reason why the Eight Immortals Table is called the Eight Immortals Table is because two people can sit on one side, and exactly eight people can sit on four sides.
Except for Chen Xinli who had one side to himself, there were two people sitting on each of the other three sides. Gao Zhi was sitting next to Chen Yunfu.
"Brother Gao?"
Chen Yunfu turned his head in confusion and listened to Gao Zhi whispering.
"Yunfu doesn't think about it?"
"What are you considering?" Chen Yunfu asked, pretending not to understand.
Gao Zhi chuckled and narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, really, but Yunfu, you may not be familiar with Ding Jitong when you first come here. He is a troublesome master."
Chen Yunfu didn't say anything, but silently raised the cup to his mouth.
It's easy to tell what Gao Zhi means. He just wants to say that Ding Jitong is not a good person. If you, Chen Yunfu, have the energy, you can go for it. If you don't want to strive for the best, don't let Ding Jitong do it.
If you don't let Ding Jitong do it, who can do it? Are you upright?
It seems that the energy behind Gao Zhi is not as good as that of Ding Jitong, so I want to recruit him, Chen Yunfu, to be a helper.
You want me to be your gun, that's a pretty idea.
