Chapter 1313 1313: You are forcing someone to make things difficult for you (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
Xiang Zhao came over to check in as usual.
Stepping into the camp, she was keenly aware of something unusual.
Before she could retreat back, a dark shadow passed by her peripheral vision, and she subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword - in order to give Xiang Zhao some ability to protect himself in troubled times, her great-grandfather taught her Compared to her martial arts skills, her swordsmanship is not exquisite, but it is no problem to deal with ordinary thieves - just as her fingertips touched the decoration on the sword hilt, her wrist suddenly lost consciousness, and was replaced by a numbness of electric current!
The wrist of his right hand was strangled, and his waist and eyes were pinched.
Goose bumps broke out on Xiang Zhao's skin, and cold sweat broke out on his spine.
Luan Xin's camp is also heavily guarded. It is not easy for a strange face to sneak in, unless the person coming is very powerful or has internal help. In an instant, countless speculations flashed through Xiang Zhao's mind, but the most important thing right now was to protect himself.
The voice of the visitor was not as strong as a man's, but more like a woman's: "I should ask you this question, who are you?"
Hearing the response, Xiang Zhao felt relieved. One breath.
The other party took the initiative to answer instead of killing people. This can basically rule out the identity of the survivors of the southwest who were destroyed. There was no murderous intention in his words. He should not be a spy lurking in to steal secrets. He is most likely from the Kangguo camp: "I am the Wenwen of Master Luan. Official."
Currently, he is practicing with Luan Xin in this capacity.
“I’ve never seen him before, but he looks unfamiliar.”
The visitor loosened his restraint, still cautiously pulled out Xiang Zhao’s sword and threw it aside, his eyes fixed on Xiang Zhao’s movements. .
“Also, why do you call him Master Luan?”
Xiang Zhao turned around and retreated, only then could he see the appearance of the person coming.
This is a young man dressed in coarse linen and wearing the simplest bun style, dressed as a ranger. Perhaps because she didn't take care of it very much, her eyebrows were a little messy and were not as carefully sculpted as those of ordinary women. In addition, she was tall and tall. At first glance, it was easy to misunderstand her as a man with a delicate appearance.
"Master Luan preaches and learns from me to resolve doubts. What's wrong with calling him that? What are you doing sneaking around here?"
The woman said: "Come back and wait for the report. "
Xiang Zhao: "..."
Luan Xin is indeed the official minister.
However, Xiang Zhao couldn't help but think about the sky outside the tent. Even the fish belly white had not yet risen from the sky: "Debriefing? Now?"
The woman said: "But come here, I will sleep again A night in the wilderness? "
She arrived half a day late, and the army broke up camp and headed to the next place. It was already midnight when I caught up with him. After going through the procedures and verifying his identity, it took until the middle of the night. She didn't have anywhere to sleep, so she might as well come here to wait for someone.
Luan Xin's daily routine is the same as that of his seventeen-year-old father-in-law.
I couldn't bear to quarrel with him.
I wanted to find a straw mat to make do with for a long time, but when I was half asleep and half awake, I noticed someone sneaking closer here. My instinctive reaction was that there was a thief. There are no enemies nearby, and there is no fighting at all. Everyone who should be sleeping is asleep at this point. Luan Gongyi's work schedule does not allow him to wander around at night, let alone send anyone to get things.
The woman grabbed the man and asked him what happened.
"You said you are Luan Gong's student?"
People who are not familiar with Luan Xin will only think that this man is taciturn and seems to be docile, but in fact he is distant and difficult to get close to. , daunting. But if you get along with him more, you will find that he is simply slow to respond and has the same attitude towards everyone.
Oh, except for the censor doctor at the censor station.
Because of this problem, it is almost impossible for him to take the initiative to recruit disciples.
Aren’t the students with more impatient tempers driven crazy by him?
Miao Shu back then, and later on, were almost always forced into him. She was a passive student. The communication between teachers and students was as refined as possible, and she never said anything when she could do it. ——Ineffective communication will waste a lot of his precious time.
Result——
Another student appears?
Also a female student.
The woman still had doubts in her heart, and Xiang Zhao also doubted her identity: "Instead of going to the official department of the royal capital to report on your work, why come here?"
"The royal capital is too far away, how can you take a shortcut? Why sacrifice the near for the far? "
When the woman said this, she felt a little guilty.
I was supposed to come to see Shen Tang as soon as the mission was accomplished. On the way, I took care of a few small things with my sword and killed a few unsighted thieves. I took two detours and the journey could have been completed in a few days. She was forced to delay it to more than two months.
“If what you said is true, then I count you as half a classmate.”
“Are you also a student of Master Luan?”
“Half as a disciple.” After the misunderstanding was resolved, the woman liked Xiang Zhao Many people knew that she came here specially in advance, and her enthusiasm for learning was even more favorable. "If there is a chance, it would be best to go to the academy and stay for two years in the future."
She was curious about who Xiang Zhao was. How did you become a disciple of Luan Xin?
It would be more suitable to become a disciple of Ning Shizhong.
Not to mention anything else, at least joining a class in a college has a natural advantage. You can also get to know many classmates when you go to the academy. Whether you want to enter the official career or indulge in the world in the future, you will have many connections and paths.
Xiang Zhao wrote down the woman’s suggestions.
“I don’t know how to call the queen?”
“Miao Ne, Miao Ximin, you probably haven’t heard of my name.” She doesn’t have a formal organization, and when she has errands, she directly follows her orders. Freedom is freedom, but the disadvantages are also quite obvious. She didn't know how much reward she would get for this act. If possible, she would like to ask for an imperial title for her mother. This was one of the reasons why she came to Luan Gong to report her work, and to test his tone in private.
The number of people who could receive titles in Kang State could be counted on one hand, and more than half of them were defeated generals under the Lord in the past. Most of them were awarded titles to appease and reward people, and to stabilize people's hearts. For this reason, Miao Na didn't even think about getting a royal title, as long as he could get one.
If Luan Gong speaks well for himself, he will be more successful.
Xiang Zhao didn't know what was going on in her mind.
“Are you Senior Sister Ximin?”
“Have you heard of me?”
"Master Luan happened to mention it yesterday."
Miao Ne has a loose and unrestrained personality, which can even be called rough. There are some things that she can do as much as she can. She is not a Miao who can be an official in the court with peace of mind. Zhao is the other extreme. The one who can achieve a balance between the two is Miao Shu, who has been dead for many years.
Unfortunately, Miao Shu had a fatal flaw and a bad nature.
If you really want her to become an official, it will be a disaster for one party.
Luan Xin didn't say that much to Xiang Zhao. He just mentioned Miao Na's talent and temperament, implying that she didn't have to be so pressing and could do well like Miao Ne. Moreover, Miao Na was the mentor to Master Luan's young daughter. If they met, they would definitely be able to chat.
Xiang Zhao: "..."
Master Luan's judgment was wrong.
Only when they actually met did they realize that their auras were at odds.
Looking at each other with no desire to communicate at all.
When Luan Xin stepped on the dot to adjust the value, what he saw was such a weird scene. Two young people with a similar age gap were sitting in a corner, and even the air wished they could distinguish themselves.
After he joined, the teachers and students were silent.
Fortunately, Miao Ne wrote his work report in advance.
Ordinary officials' work reports are described as "pile", but Miao Na's was a palm-sized document with less than a hundred words written on it. The words were concise and comprehensive, fully considering Luan Xin's shortcomings. Luan Xin finished reading ten lines at a glance and closed it.
"You have worked hard these past few years, but what do you want?" For the sake of errands, I almost changed from unmarried to married, which was a big sacrifice.
“I want to give my mother a royal seal.”
Xiang Zhao on the side almost thought he was hallucinating.
Is the communication between these two people a little too straightforward?
Luan Xin thought for a while: "This shouldn't be difficult." With Luan Xin's words, Miao Ne's hanging heart returned to its original place. Luan Xin was in charge of the entire staff department, and he said there was no problem, so the matter was basically 90% stable. Luan Xin had to remind her of another thing: "Let's not mention this for now, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to. The original Cui family of Qi State has submitted to the royal court. Although the power is not as powerful as before, there are some good and filial people. I can’t stay lonely anymore. If you enter the court this time, your identity will be exposed sooner or later..."
"What do you mean by Luan Gong?"
"I will fight. I'll let you be decentralized for a few years. "Kang Guo has used force to conquer a large area of land. There will be no shortage of vacancies now. It will not be difficult to find an official position for Miao Na. "It is best to arrange it away from Cui's influence. A place is the safest. In a few years, Cui Xiong will start a family or you will rise to prominence, and even if Cui knows it is you, it will be impossible for her to do anything else..."
This time can be shortened further.
Kang State is now at a time of frequent wars.
The battlefield in the southwest is over, and there are opportunities in the center.
Miao Na said sarcastically: "But... I don't really want to join the court."
Asking for the imperial title is asking for the imperial title, it does not mean that she wants to become an official.
"If you don't enter the court, you will have no choice but to live in vain. In the future, Cui will put pressure on you or your relatives and colleagues, what can you do? There is no conflict between entering the court and enlightening one's own mind. You may wish to consider it again." Ask for one. The establishment does not prevent us from continuing to work for the Lord.
Miao Na said: "Cui Xiong should not be like that."
It's a good time to get together and get together, so you shouldn't be so stingy, right?
"He doesn't know how. Where is Cui Zhishan? Where is Cui Shanxiao? Cui Shanxiao is still from Yushitai. If he has some opinions on you, it will make you shed a layer of skin." Business matters belong to public affairs, and private hatred belongs to private hatred. . Who stipulates that there is no contradiction when working for one person?
Miao Ne is more important, or are relatives and grandchildren more important?
Luan Xin's words may be exaggerated, but he is indeed thinking about Miao Ne. Life is long, who knows what the situation between North Korea and China will be like in the future? There are also people who work in the opposite direction, and there are people who are related by blood and are at war with each other. Miao Ne may not have the desire to kill, but he cannot be without the ability to protect himself. Luan Xin had discussed with Shen Tang a long time ago about letting Miao Ne enter the court, and the Lord also agreed.
Miao Ne scratched his scattered hair.
Tangled and said: "I'll think about it again."
I said I thought about it again, but in fact I didn't think about it for long.
She was curious about where Luan Xin wanted to arrange for herself.
Luan Xin gave her three choices.
Xiang Zhao watched with his heart beating wildly. Is this still a choice?
Miao Ne took it over out of curiosity. The moment he saw the location clearly, the corners of his mouth froze immediately: "These three ghost places?"
The ghost places have all been beautified.
It was difficult at first, and I suspected that someone was trying to trouble her.
"How to make political achievements in a good place?"
Luan Xin can get her a good place, but going there is just a waste of time, and she wants to make outstanding political achievements in the official department. It is almost impossible to get a high evaluation in the assessment, and it may even be downgraded because it is too mediocre. On the contrary, in these places where the economic and population are poor, if you do well, you can become a blockbuster, and the path to promotion will be more secure.
Since Miao Na had no interest in the Cui family, he could only go far in his official career.
Go further and have more freedom.
It is better to choose others than to be chosen by others.
Miao Ne thought for a while and chose one that was relatively beneficial to him.
“This place?” Luan Xin was not very satisfied.
This place is the one he is least optimistic about among the three choices.
Miao Na said: "Linjun is a classmate."
"When did your classmate take office?"
"Four years ago?"
"Took office four years ago? Then he would have been transferred by now."
Miao Ne smiled and said: "I know, but even if he was transferred, there would definitely be someone else Leave some of the usual people behind and ask others to help with the matchmaking, saving me the hassle of picking out people I can trust.”
As I said, the official quota is limited.
Some subordinate officials in the local government are no longer on staff. Wang Ting is only responsible for part of the salary, and the local officials have to make up the rest.
Miao Na went to find a classmate to borrow people, which not only saves money, but also eliminates the need for talent assessment, and can run the company once the personnel are in place.
“Having said that, you can’t rely too much.”
When officials are transferred, they usually take their confidants to the next place. Those who are not taken away are either locals or have already taken root. Local, or there are other flaws in moral character and ability... There are so many of these old fritters, it's hard to say who has the final say in the entire government office.
If you want to go to Miao Ne, you have to bring your own people.
As a teacher, Luan Xin promised her fifty private chapters.
Miao Ne almost choked on her saliva.
"It is absolutely impossible to do anything without merit."
"You and I also have a master-disciple relationship. What does it mean to receive no reward without merit? What should the teacher give to the students? Is the student meritorious?”
Miao Na knew that Luan Xin didn’t like to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept.
There is an embarrassing problem that needs to be solved urgently.
"I'm afraid I can't afford to support these fifty people..." Those rich rangers are basically children from rich families who follow the fashion trends. They are a special case. Most of the rangers are empty-pocketed and poor from the third generation. Luan Xin gave her away, but she could not afford to keep him.
"You are yours as a gift, and you still want me to support you?"
Luan Xin responded so quickly that Miao Ne couldn't help but wonder - was Luan Xin almost unable to support himself? , just dumped it on her?
Probably not. The Minister of Civil Service cannot be short of money for anything.
Luan Xin also understood her: "Go back and talk to the Lord about the important points."
Miao Ne was almost moved to tears.
If you can’t afford it——
The only option is to find a way to rob the rich and give to the poor.
Xiang Zhao looked at the two of them and felt emotional for a moment.
Not to mention master and apprentice, not even the biological father and daughter had such thoughtful arrangements as Luan Xin. After getting along with him for the past few days, she thought that Teacher Luan was reticent, but now it seemed that was not the case. Just as she was thinking about it, she was patted on the shoulder by Miao Ne, and she suddenly came back from her thoughts.
"Senior Sister, do you have any instructions?"
"When you gather your literary spirit, do you want to come to me? You have to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." She didn't know Xiang Zhao, but she knew Luan Xin. He believes even more in the other party’s standards for recruiting disciples. Xiang Zhao and he are fellow disciples, so aren’t they more trustworthy than outsiders?
That place is not on the southwest boundary.
It is an enclave of Kang State in the central region.
It is very inconvenient to manage the enclave. As Kang State and the Southwest Allied Forces started fighting, the central government also wanted to remove this thorn in the side.
Miao Ne chose this place because it was very difficult and risky.
Xiang Zhao hesitated for a moment and looked at Luan Xin.
She wanted to know if Miao Ne’s words were his instructions.
You must know that turning on Xiangzhao is equivalent to turning on a bound Gongyang Yongye. The 19th grade Guan Neihou has passed by. No matter how badly the giant Buddha is arranged, there will be no one who can overthrow him in a palm-sized enclave. This move is quite scheming.
It turns out that Miao Ne was just lucky.
Uェ*U
In the next chapter, the new owner of the southwest Qi country goes offline, and the melee in the central part begins.
There are some scribes in the central part who have special abilities that can restrain high-level warriors (which is equivalent to forcibly lowering the upper limit of the strength of battlefield warriors). However, as long as Xiang's moves are there, they can basically be nullified.
