Chapter 307: The Ministry of Officials
On the last day of April, it was drizzling.
Three painted black and copper carriages slowly drove into Donggongsheng Gate and came to the office of the Ministry of Personnel next to the Zongren Mansion.
Three days ago, Zhao Hao submitted a post to meet Wang Bengu, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, hoping to make organic allocations on the scarce resources owned by both parties to achieve the best results for both parties.
In layman's terms, it is "running to the official".
Today is the day when Mr. Wang takes the time to meet.
What surprised Zhao Hao was that the meeting place was not at Wang Bengu's mansion, but at the Ministry of Personnel.
Without the invitation issued by Wang Bengu, his carriage would not have entered the Donggongsheng Gate, which was guarded by soldiers.
Inside the Donggongsheng Sect, in addition to the clan mansion, there are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the five major yamen.
Under the wall outside each yamen, there are long rows of pergolas. Under the pergolas, there are officials who come to the department to do business and run for relationships.
Among them, there are naturally the longest team outside the official department. In addition to the officials who come to do business normally, there are also a large number of juren, supervisors and official officials waiting for candidate officials...
There were two or three hundred people, filling the long reed sheds, and some were wet in the rain waiting outside.
Seeing the officers from the Ministry of Personnel opening the gate and putting the three black carriages into the interior, the crowd waiting outside the door couldn't help but feel a stir.
"Why did he go to the line?" Everyone would have tolerated it if it was an official sedan chair, but those three were obviously private carriages, right?
"That's right. Didn't it mean that the prefect has to queue up when it comes?" A magistrate protested angrily.
"What are you yelling!" The official stared at them, then closed the door again.
"He is a guest of Shao Tzuka, can he be the same as you?"
"The guest of Shaozuangzai is amazing..." The waiting crowd muttered, and the annoyance gradually faded.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Ministry of Personnel. Gao Wu and Cai Ming got off from the front and back two cars, one holding a huge umbrella and the other putting down the car bench.
Then the two opened the car door at the same time, wearing a snow-green Su-embroidered robe and a white jade crown, Mr. Zhao slowly walked out of the car with the help of Zhao Shizhen.
In fact, there are still more than a dozen fully armed guards in Caijiaxiang who have not got off the car.
Zhao Hao didn't want to be so high-profile, but he had a fierce fight with the Xu family recently. He had to take more bodyguards when he went out to avoid the other party being anxious and destroying him.
But only Zhao Shizhen, who was holding an umbrella for him, went into the office of the Ministry of Personnel with him. Gao Wu and others could only wait in the car.
Zhao Hao followed a Yuanwailang who came to greet him and walked along the corridor to the lobby to the right assistant minister's yamen on the west side of the second hall.
The official waiter took Zhao Hao into the yamen and came outside the signing room. He asked him to wait and go in and report it himself.
After a while, Wang Bengu actually came out to greet him, which made Zhao Hao quite flattered and hurriedly bowed and bowed.
A smile appeared on Mr. Wang's rigid face and said, "The reason I made an appointment to meet in the yamen is because Otsukazuya also wants to see you."
"Oh?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he felt that it should be.
He had learned about the previous discussion and knew that Yang Bo had unexpectedly supported his father.
If you don’t want to repay kindness, will you still call Lao Xier? Lao Yang must have something to look for him...
Zhao Hao didn't even enter the door of the signing room, so he followed Wang Bengu back to the main hall.
When he came to Yang Bo's signing room, Wang Bengu went in and asked in person, and came out and said to Zhao Hao: "There are guests in the ministry, let's wait outside for a while."
With the king's position, he would not have no room outside to sign a house, but on the one hand, it would be boring in the house on rainy days, and on the other hand, it would be convenient to talk to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao and Wang Bengu stood side by side under the eaves of the corridor, watching thousands of raindrops descending from the lead clouds and sank into the blue-black floor tiles, without a trace.
"I received a letter from Zhao Zhongcheng two days ago, saying that he had arrived in Chengfan Mansion safely, the rebellion there had been quelling, and all matters were progressing smoothly."
Wang Bengu started his conversation with Zhao Jin, one was that the relationship between the two began with Zhao Jin. The other was that he promoted Zhao Jin to the position of governor of Guizhou, which was also considered Wang Bengu's proud work.
"That's great." Zhao Hao smiled and agreed, as if he had just found out.
"He praised Dr. Zhao in the letter." Wang Bengu glanced at Zhao Hao, but still could not associate this pretend-made mature boy with a series of explosive incidents in the capital since the beginning of the year.
"He doesn't know how many more important things you have done."
"The Young Master of Tomb was joking." Zhao Hao smiled modestly and said, "It's just a mess."
"Blind things?" Wang Bengu shook his head and smiled, thinking that a five-jinshi in the school is also a nonsense. Xishan coal industry is also a nonsense? Is it nonsense? Is it nonsense when I give lectures in the classics?
Then, are the vast majority of people in this world playing with mud all their lives?!
After complaining a few times in his heart, Wang Bengu felt that he didn't want to continue talking with him.
Otherwise, the half-life achievements that you are proud of will automatically collapse and melt away in front of this handsome young man.
He stopped going around.
"I have already greeted Lu Quancao on the Wenxuansi. I have met the ministry later and I will just ask someone to take you over directly."
"Thank you, the tomb priest, for your concern!" Zhao Hao hurriedly bowed and thanked.
Then Wang Bengu stopped talking, just looked at the raindrops in a steady manner, and became a quiet and beautiful man.
Zhao Hao naturally didn't bother him.
Besides, Mr. Zhao didn't really want to pay attention to this controversial minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
It was this guy who suddenly intercepted and killed Wang Zhi in the middle of the road, which allowed the Southeast to fight against the Japanese for seven more years.
How many more people died in seven years? But he rose to prominence and became the Minister of Personnel!
Mr. Zhao thought angrily, but when Wang Bengu's eyes swept over, he immediately reported a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart.
At least I am helping myself with my thighs, but I still have to maintain respect...
However, Wang Bengu's help was not entirely due to Zhao Jin's face, but also because of the shares of Lugou Bridge Coal Farm that Zhao Hao sold to him.
Of course, it is based on the price of the original shares...
~~
After waiting for a while, Yang Bo's eldest son came out and invited the two of them in.
Wang Bengu then tidied up his clothes and took Zhao Hao into the house to sign the house, and saluted Lord Tianguan as if he were polite.
He heard a hearty laugh and said, "Hahaha, Dr. Zhao doesn't have to be polite. We're not the first time we met. At the last sutra, your style fascinated me very much."
"Old Master Tianguan was joking." Zhao Hao then raised his head and looked at one of the three heads that Yan Shifan once regarded as the smartest in the world.
The other two are Yan Shifan and Lu Bing, both of whom have gone.
Only the white-haired Yang Bo is still strong and continues to stand firm in the Ming Dynasty.
Faced with such an old Shanxi gun, Zhao Hao did not dare to be arrogant at all. He clasped his fists again with a humble look on his face and said, "I have really admired you for a long time."
