Xu Jing is actually quite difficult.

Because his reputation has actually gone bankrupt, he is entirely supported by an old face. Without this old face, Xu Jing would be nothing.

Fortunately, everyone dared not really break up with him for their own interests, so he could continue to maintain his position.

Speaking of which, Xu Jing didn't know why he was chosen by Guo Peng to become the Minister of Rites.

This position is very important and holds the right to re-examination of the Gongfu. The re-examination of the Gongfu is even more important to scholars who have always followed the path of filial, honest and talented, and their importance is self-evident.

Is it really OK to leave it to yourself?

What is the emperor thinking?

Of course, Xu Jing didn't know what was going on.

After he arrived in Luoyang, he never thought about having high positions and generous salaries. He just wanted to maintain a salary and spend his old age in the international metropolis of Luoyang.

This is not a waste of his reputation and his life.

But unexpectedly, Guo Peng actually wanted to use him to become a senior official.

This 2,500-square-level senior official at the department level has an important position and power. He is a department with frequent personal relationships and has a crucial position in the Shangshu Desk.

Because Cui Yan occupied this position, he almost became a leader of a scholar.

After joining forces with Cui Yan, Tian Feng received support from the Ministry of Rites and many scholars, so he had the confidence to fight Cheng Yu.

Is it really okay to have this power now?

Xu Jing was a little worried and a little hesitant.

But when Guo Peng ordered him to start selecting officials, he suddenly realized that the reason why he was selected was because of his current situation.

Because of this situation, he has no harm.

He holds this power even for humans and animals, and even if he commits a crime and is removed, he will be easy and will not be hindered, and no one will object.

This is different from Tian Feng and Cui Yan.

Tian Feng and Cui Yan have the possibility of becoming leaders, but he is impossible.

Similarly, this is probably the reason why Zhang Zhao was elected as the Minister of Personnel.

Xu Jing was right, and Zhang Zhao also thought of the same possibility.

He suddenly made an unexpected leap from a local county magistrate, and suddenly ascended into the central government's real power department, parachuted into the Minister of Personnel, and became a heavenly official.

This is simply an unimaginable situation.

Zhang Zhao never dreamed that he would enter the central government in this way.

He originally thought that he would be a county magistrate in the end, even worse than Lu Su, and he would be like this for the rest of his life.

But unexpectedly, half of his body was buried, but he got such an opportunity.

This is a good thing that many people can't even imagine if they want to break their heads.

Zhang Zhao handed over the work of the prefect of Hedong County, entered Luoyang with a nervous mood, and was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and immediately took office.

Looking at the officials of the Shangshu Detachment who were staring at him with strange eyes, Zhang Zhao knew that he was really lucky.

Entering the central government without any foundation can even be said to have become the [foundation] that those latecomers are extremely eager for.

Is this a situation where I want to become the leader of a scholar in Xuzhou?

When he learned that he was going to fill the vacancy with Xu Jing for the imperial court, Zhang Zhao suddenly realized that it was His Majesty the Emperor giving him a chance.

Give him an opportunity to win over his helpers to build his own power.

So on the way to leave the palace under the responsibilities, the two vulnerable groups in a consistent situation gathered together to speak.

"Zibu, have you ever thought that you would one day be the Secretary of the Shangshu? "

Xu Jing opened his mouth and took the initiative to talk to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao couldn't stand Xu Jing's behavior of begging for glory and fearing death, but he did not dare to refute his face.

When I am here, my foundation is shallow and no one can offend me.

Even Xu Jing, who has no foundation in himself.

So Zhang Zhao replied to Xu Jing with a strange emotion.

"Of course I never thought that there would be such a day. Although I had served as the county magistrate of two thousand stones before, there were countless county magistrates in the world and only one minister of the Ministry of Personnel. How can this be compared? Mr. Xu also thinks so?"

Xu Jing smiled like a self-deprecating person.

"After you are still a county magistrate of two thousand stones, and I am just a teaching teacher of the Imperial Academy of 1 thousand stones. I have no real power or any commendable achievements. Why did I become the Minister of Rites?"

"This... Your Majesty's idea is not something that our ministers should guess at will."

Zhang Zhao kicked the ball back and refused to answer the conversation.

Xu Jing looked at Zhang Zhao, smiled slightly, and shook his head.

"Zibu, I'll talk a little bit more. People like me who are tragic and want to be loyal to their honor and reputation, even the children of the hunchback can't afford to look down on me. All the scholars just reserved a face for the sake of Yuedan's comments back then. How could I be so arrogant to rely on my seniority in front of them?"

"Mr. Xu... Why do you have to do this?"

Zhang Zhao knew that Xu Jing was telling the truth.

I also gave him some face because of Yuedanping's face and didn't say it out loud.

As a result, he said it out loud.

Xu Jing actually has nothing left.

The original fame and the political appeal brought by fame have actually gone completely bankrupt.

Many people not only despise him, but also have resentment towards him.

Because of the Yuedan Review, many people had to maintain a false influence for him to protect their own interests.

Even though he knew that Xu Jing was a seller and seeking honor, and even though he knew that he had no need to be respected by everyone, he still had to face him, smile and bow.

This is as uncomfortable as eating cockroaches.

Many people were secretly cursing him to die soon so that everyone could truly be liberated.

As a result, he was actually referred to by the emperor as the Minister of Rites.

The emperor's tolerance and generosity were fully visible, and the ugly faces of scholars were also fully visible.

Xu Jing knew this clearly.

He is a tool man, a scapegoat, and a powerful tool for transferring conflicts.

After being cleaned up by the emperor, the ministers and officials were not only afraid, but also a resentment they had not found themselves hidden in their hearts. Now they are covered up by fear, but if they are not dealt with for a long time, problems will arise.

At this time, as a vested interest on the surface, Xu Jing was placed on the surface, instantly diverting the officials' attention, and suddenly evoking the resentment that was covered by fear in their hearts.

We are so miserable, but you have become a vested interest?

Soul is faded!!!!!!

So the ministers and officials poured all these resentment towards Xu Jing and increased their efforts to curse Xu Jing to die as soon as possible.

Guo Peng hid behind Xu Jing, proudly.

Mr. Guo knew that if Xu Jing really died, the resentment of the ministers and officials would dissipate with the wind.

And Xu Jing would not die so early, nor would he be allowed to die so early.

Before Xu Jing died, he could use Xu Jing's hands to do a lot of things to attract more resentment from all officials and divert his firepower.

The ministers were far away from Guo and closer to Xu Jing, so if they wanted to hate him, they would first hate Xu Jing, not Guo.

Xu Jing is his puppet, the perfect tool man.

Xu Jing, who has lost all his political foundation, is green and pollution-free. He will do whatever Guo asked him to do, and he will do whatever he wants to do, and he will do it even if he bit the bullet and has no power to fight back.

So Xu Jing is really useful.

If Xu Jing doesn’t become the Minister of Rites, who will do it?

Who else can be so perfect?

Xu Jing could not die early. Guo asked the large clinic to monitor Xu Jing's physical and mental state at all times to ensure Xu Jing's lifespan, so as to live for a while more.

Xu Jing had obviously figured it out.

So he saw it very clearly.

Although Zhang Zhao's situation is not good, Zhang Zhao is clean. He has no evidence of the case and is innocent.

He came to be the Minister of Personnel and was really going to be reused, which was different from Xu Jing.

Xu Jing also saw this.

"That's what it is, so why bother?"

Xu Jing waved his hand: "Let's go, how old am I? If that happens, what else can I say? I am already content to be able to earn a salary in the Imperial Academy.

I, a fearful old man, can have a meal to live until his death, and I am content! Who would have thought that His Majesty could actually make me a key position like the Minister of Rites, and let me take on the responsibilities that Cui Jigui had held before.
