142. Officials of Prince Yan's Mansion
Zhao Mengqi walked back slowly and found someone standing beside the road, but when he looked closely, it was Fang Lu.
The robe was very dirty, but she obviously tidied up and tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a scholar. She bowed to Zhao Mengqi from afar, but she lowered her head slightly and didn't speak.
After Zhao Mengqi approached, he stopped and looked at Fang Lu curiously, "Fang Yishan, are you waiting for Xiao Wang?"
Fang Lu seemed to have made up his mind at this time, "Your Highness, I am here to apologize. In the past, I was too self-righteous, ignorant and blindly obedient, and I had many misunderstandings about Youth Highness and rude contradicts. Now, I feel ashamed when I think about it. I feel deeply ashamed and feel that I am shallow and I have no face to receive my official position and salary. Therefore, I resigned to Youth Highness, and returned to my hometown to study and re-understand the way of the saint."
"Resignation? This is strange. I have only heard of others seeking official positions, but it is rare to take the initiative to resign. You should know that if you resign from me, it would be equivalent to quitting your career and you will not be able to realize all your ambitions."
As long as nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Mengqi will be in charge of the Song Dynasty in the next few decades, which means that no one will give Fang Lu a chance to turn things around.
Fang Lu obviously understood this, but he felt that he had offended the King of Yan. Even if he was not targeted again, he could only take on a idle position and suffer inaction. Instead of doing this, it would be better to have a short pain than long pain. Going home to eat old rice is at least a little free.
So he smiled bitterly, "Your Highness is already the King of Yan, and the position of Yishan is not something that is a weak minister, so it is better to lay off the title of Yishan, the mansion of the Zhongwangfu, without name or reality."
Wow, it turns out that the official is "small" and has no power.
Although this mantra has a little stubborn personality, he is still very fame and fame. This resignation may be a reason for his disheartenedness, but it may not be without the intention of retreating to seek an official position from him.
But is this a disguised expression of allegiance to myself?
Try him, "It's a pity that you really want to resign. I originally planned to let you serve as the supervisor."
"Ah!? This...this..." Fang Lu stuttered, and was hit by the words of King Yan, "Supervisor Censor?"
"Yes, it seems I have to find someone again, hey..." Zhao Mengqi pretended to be regretful.
Fang Lu gritted his teeth and bowed deeply, "Your Highness, I feel that this position as a censor may be competent, so please let me give it a try."
As expected, when I heard about the position of a censor, this person didn't even want the reserve of a scholar.
"Don't resign?"
"I dare not let down Your Highness's favor!"
Zhao Mengqi looked at him meaningfully, but did not continue to play, "Okay, your qualifications are too low, so you can only serve as the Supervisor and Censor, and will be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War in the future. Of course, this is only your part-time job. Your real main job is the military officer of the King of Yan Mansion. Before another military officer takes office, he will be in charge of the attendance and meritorious service of the King of War.
The royal military commander is equivalent to the ministry of war, but only the subordinates of the King of Yan. However, in order to distinguish it from the current official system in the future, Zhao Mengqi deliberately did not place any ranks. Moreover, before he matured, there would basically be no full-time subordinates, and at least he would have a serious official position in the court, otherwise it would be difficult to recruit talents in the era of official position.
Fang Lu was a little surprised, which means that he would label himself as the King of Yan in the future. There are pros and cons in the officialdom. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was nothing he could not accept, so he agreed.
"Is Your Highness the royal palace official set up in the Tang Dynasty?"
The reason why Fang Lu asked this was that the royal palace of the Song Dynasty would not have such a set of six Caos. Even the few other officials were habitually vacant.
Zhao Mengqi casually said, "That's right, probably like the Tence Mansion. At present, only you, the official, may be able to adjust the specific settings after the shelf is set up."
"I understand. I will do my best to serve Your Highness in the future!" Fang Lu vaguely heard the hidden ambition from King Yan's words, and felt a little excited. There will definitely be opportunities to show his ambitions in the future.
"The imperial court has to wait for a few days, but there is not so much attention in the palace. You go and rest first today and come to see me early tomorrow. You will have to take charge of the military recruitment of the guards."
"I obey the order!"
After entering the palace, Fang Lu took his leave and Huang Gu came forward.
After the opening of the mansion, Huang Gu became the chief supervisor of the royal palace. He had to be busy with more things, so he usually did not accompany Zhao Mengqi out.
"Alang, His Highness Zhou Guo and Mrs. Qian were holding a poetry meeting in Furong Garden. They said that if you came back early, they would have gone there, saying that the guests admired your poetry."
Poetry talent?
I have a nonsense.
"Forget it, a group of young ladies are playing. What do I do if I am a big man? Don't spread any bad words, which will ruin the reputation of the young ladies."
Huang Gu heard this but didn't agree. He obviously didn't worry about this when he dared to come. "Alang, this doesn't matter. No one in the house dares to gossip. Don't worry, let's not worry. Besides, the little lady is here, and I told the little one to let you go."
If you don’t add a surname or other, and just call it Xiaoma, it will refer specifically to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Mengqi thought of her sister's unhappy look in the morning and found that she had indeed ignored her during this period. So while there was nothing to do today, she would be better with her more.
