[The second update will be around two o'clock, so there will be two updates today, so I won't make up for it yet.]

Although this open and covert fight ended in Jiao Shun's victory, it also made him feel the dangers of officialdom again.

Speaking of Jiao Shun's response this time, there was actually nothing wrong with it, but he was still forced into a corner by the other party.

This shows that in terms of these conspiracies, he is still inferior to those old foxes in official circles.

However, Jiao Shun's advantages are equally obvious.

More than a hundred years of modern information may not provide much help in intrigues, but it is enough to make him surpass most officials in the world in terms of overall view and pioneering.

Because of this, he was able to come up with the new work-study policy in just six months, and indirectly contributed to the peace talks between Xia and Wu. As for the creation of Taizu's Quotations, it was just the icing on the cake.

And without the foreshadowing of more than half a year, how could the emperor activate the divine mode for a mere seventh-grade official?

Of course, the god-trance mode refers to the sudden arrival of an unknown force without warning. The emperor had long admired Jiao Shun's actions, and was attracted by Jiao Shun's backup plan. Is it consistent with the god-trance mode?

Once said, I'm afraid it's still open to debate.

…………

Fast forward to the second day of August.

From Jia Mu down, the famous women from the East and West mansions gathered in front of Neiyi Gate, and it was very lively.

As a steward stepped forward to report that Mr. Zheng's bicycle had passed the East Street entrance, the old lady was even more excited and walked out with her cane.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly tried to dissuade her, saying that her mother had already gone too far in greeting her at the inner gate. If she went out to greet her any more, she would probably ruin her son's longevity. Mother Jia gave up in frustration, but still stood on tiptoe and looked out.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were waiting side by side, but this made Mrs. Xing beside her feel sour. She held up a thin silk handkerchief, raised her brows, and kept stroking it back and forth.

Later, Youshi, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng gathered together. They were talking to each other, but they were discussing the old lady's birthday tomorrow. Just to celebrate her mother's birthday, Jia Zhengcai

I would drive home day and night.

On both sides of them were San Chun Bing Chai Dai, Xiu Yan, Xiang Yun and others.

Logically, Xing Xiuyan should be standing next to Yingchun, but at this time, she was far away, only with the equally inconspicuous Xichun.

These girls were carefree, and the things they discussed were naturally complicated.

"Hey~"

Shi Xiangyun was the most outspoken. He touched Tanchun beside him with his elbow and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, has she met any happy events recently? Look at her bright face. She is much more lively."

"Maybe it's because Lange'er is successful in his studies, right?"

Tanchun replied absentmindedly, but frequently looked at Aunt Zhao, who was holding Jia Huan and standing beside her. I don't know what the birth mother thought. She was posing with her head full of pearls, and looked more luxurious than the wife.

.

It’s really a mess of dignity!

He deliberately reminded her to pay attention to his identity, but he did not want to get too close to her in front of his wife.

In the midst of a dilemma, Xue Baochai seemed to have noticed what was on her mind. He smiled and called Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, why are you joining in the fun with us at this time? Hurry up to the front yard to greet her."

Aunt Zhao just woke up from a dream, and hurriedly took her son aside and told him to go to the corner gate to greet him. She must let Jia Zheng see him at first sight after getting off the car.

After Jia Huan reluctantly left, Aunt Zhao turned around and was about to return to the team, but Tan Chun stopped her and scolded her.

Aunt Zhao was also very popular at the moment. She dressed up in order to be pampered. Could it be that she was wrong?

What's more, she didn't do this all for herself, but also for the future of her children. Pian Tanchun only cared about the dignity and respectability, and never showed any consideration.

The mother and daughter became more and more annoyed as they talked, but they were afraid of being overheard, so they had to get closer and gnashed their teeth and muttered. If you didn't know better, you might have thought it was the deep love between mother and daughter.

But she said that because of the absence of Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan were closer, because the two of them had met for the first time - Shi Xiangyun was not currently stationed in Rongguo Mansion, and he had come here these two days for Jia Mu's birthday - so she was curious.

He asked, "Sister Xing, you obviously live with your second sister, but why do you always stay with sister Xichun?"

What else could it be for?

Xing Xiuyan sighed secretly. After observing people's behavior these days and hearing a few words from everywhere, she finally understood where Yingchun's master and servant's rejection of her came from.

If she followed her true intentions, she would not want to engage in a drama with Yingchun where two women compete for a husband.

But the aunt was helpless and obsessed with arranging this marriage. She had recently been promoted because of Jiao Shun's promotion, and she even wanted to force her to have her head pressed without drinking water. How could she be allowed to back down even half a step?

As for being together with Xichun...

Nowadays, Daiyu welcomes the spring and Baochai explores the spring. The two sides do not say that they are fighting secretly, but at least they are clearly distinguishable. In contrast, the side of Xichun, who was born in Dongfu and is still young, has naturally become the only pure land.

Of course, Xing Xiuyan can't say that on the surface.

She smiled slightly and said: "When I was a child, I often played in Taoist temples and received a lot of influence from female crowns. However, Sister Chun is also a talkative person, so naturally I lost my temper."

This was half true and half false, which made Shi Xiangyun unable to find fault.

At this moment, countless people rushed in, and the leader was Jia Zheng.

Originally surrounded by Jia She, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and others, Jia Zheng was strolling in the courtyard talking about something. When he saw his mother waiting in front of the ceremony gate, he hurriedly took a few steps to get closer, knelt down and confessed his guilt.

:

"It's a crime, it's a crime. How dare you keep my mother here for so long?!"

Jia Mu was full of words, but now she was just leaning on a cane with a dragon head and said: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back."

It wasn't until Jia Zheng helped him into the Hall of Rongxi that the second sentence came out: "You will be reduced a lot when you go."

"Don't worry, mother."

Jia Zheng helped his mother sit down on the main seat and said with a smile: "My son has lost some fat and is more energetic than before."

I originally wanted to sit on the right side - Jia She had already occupied the left side - but the old lady held me back, so I had to ask the maid to move the chair and sit next to my mother.

The mother and son chatted for a quarter of an hour, and even Wang Xifeng, who was standing by the side, could hardly get a word in.

It wasn't until Jia's mother became mentally exhausted due to excessive excitement and went to the back house to rest that Jia Zheng was free. While asking Jia She about the current situation at home, he looked around at his nephews and nephews.

After a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is Brother Shun?"

Hearing that he was the first to ask about Jiao Shun, everyone had different expressions.

Jia Baoyu stood up in a hurry and replied: "Brother Jiao was promoted to an official just yesterday and has been very busy these past two days. He really can't get away. Therefore, he asked his son to tell you a crime and said that he would come back in person in the evening.

.”

"Promoted officer?"

Jia Zheng was surprised and said: "He has been in the Ministry of Work for less than a year, right? And now he has been promoted again? But I don't know what position he was promoted to?"

"So that the master will know."

Jia Baoyu smiled and said: "Brother Jiao has been promoted to the head of the Sixth Grade Department of Affairs."

"Head of the Department of Affairs?!"

Jia Zheng couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. He had been an official in the Ministry of Industry for many years, how could he not know the importance of this position?

Thinking that he had wasted half his life and was just a fifth-grade idler, he felt a little mixed for a moment. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "After all, he is young and has little qualifications. Last time he was a special minister, he was criticized by everyone. This time he got the title of Secretary-General." The director of the office has an important position, but he is afraid that good fortune and misfortune will be unpredictable."

"Master is worrying too much."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu hurriedly recounted what had happened recently.

However, it was said that the case took more than half a month to be investigated. The entire Ministry of Industry was investigated by Dai Gonggong, the chief internal affairs officer. At one time, more than 20 officials were involved, although in the end only Han Sheng, Hou Yun, and Shen Cheng had conclusive evidence. Zhuo and the other seven people were enough to change the mood of the entire Ministry of Works.

Therefore, at the end of this month, when Chen Li discussed replacing the recently dismissed Han Sheng with Jiao Shun, officials at all levels remained silent, not even a word of objection.

"Master Shen has also been dismissed from office?!"

Others just paid it off. They heard that Shen Chengzhuo was fired because of the incident, but Jia Zheng was greatly shocked.

Once upon a time, these science and technology officials were the ones he yearned for. The first few times he took the initiative to show his kindness were ignored by them, who could have imagined that he would fall for Jiao Shun like this!

"More than that!"

Jia Baoyu added: "Uncle Chen Shishu of Qi Guofu was also imprisoned and is still in prison and has not come out. Now that the master is back, the Chen family will probably come to ask for help."

Hiss~

When I heard that Chen Yongpeng was also imprisoned for this, the jealousy that Jia Zheng had just felt disappeared immediately.

Immediately, he quickly ordered a banquet to be prepared to celebrate Jiao Shun's successful official career in person at night.

He specially ordered Jia Lian and Baoyu to accompany him.

Such an arrangement made everyone pay more attention to it.

Jia She said even more disdainfully: "He is still a slave no matter what..."

"Brother, be careful what you say!"

Jia Zheng interrupted him hastily.

"Hmph~"

Jia She snorted, ignoring Jiao Shun's background, and continued: "No matter what, he is just a sixth-grade man, what kind of behavior are you making such a fuss about?!"

"Brother, I don't know something."

Jia Zheng shook his head and said: "The head of the Government Affairs Department is not comparable to ordinary sixth-rank officials. He can be called the chief manager of the Ministry of Works. His status is almost on par with the chief doctor, and in terms of the breadth of authority, he is even more powerful! "

After a pause, he sighed again: "But what is even more enviable is the honor of the Holy One."
