The next day, Xue Shao got up early in the morning and put all the official uniforms and other items on the horse's back, preparing to go to the imperial city to work.

Qianniu's official official is not a free official who does not have to go to work in the past, but as the emperor's personal bodyguard, he is of course responsible for his job every day and occasionally attends court meetings.

Before leaving, Xue Shao instructed Yue Nu to keep her on guarding the door. If there is really something very important, she can go to Li Xianyuan's house to find him to pass on the message.

"If the young master is free, you might as well come home more often." Yue Nu said with fists. Although she did not have the quiet appearance of her little daughter, she was reluctant to leave her eyes.

Xue Shao nodded and smiled, "Remember to take good care of Yao'er, I'll ask you at home. You two need to study hard and practice martial arts well. You should not waste your daily diligence!"

"Don't worry, young master!"

Qinglongfang is not close to the imperial city. Xue Shao rode a horse and ran for a long time before entering the imperial city Zhuque Gate.

The imperial city Zhuque Gate and Tai Chi Palace Chengtian Gate are connected in an axis with a street, called Chengtianmen Street. Ninety-five of the central government of the Tang Dynasty are symmetrically distributed around Chengtianmen Street.

This place is located south of the imperial city, so it is called "Nanya".

At present, the main source of the Tang Dynasty was the government soldiers, and all the government soldiers in the world were led by the commander of the Sixteen Guards of the South Ya. The Zuo Fengchen Guard, which was only built in recent years, is one of the sixteen Guards. The Guards of the Guards were easy to find, next to the Palace Province. That day, Princess Taiping took Xue Shao there to customize military uniforms.

However, before going to the Weifu Mansion to report, Xue Shao had to go to the Ministry of Personnel to spend a lot of money on Zhu Jiaoling Shuttle to receive a new "official responsibilities". Generally speaking, unless a new official takes office or changes his work department, many officials will not change their official responsibilities after changing their official positions.

An important reason is that thing - expensive!

However, from the seventh-rank official to Qianniu, he was also awarded the fifth-rank official. This is no longer a change of work department, and he has risen to the top. Therefore, the money for Zhu Jiaoling Shuttle still has to be spent.

Xue Shao went to the Ministry of Personnel to take out his official position and said that he would be given a new official position. The young official in the green robe who received him looked at him, and bowed in awe on the spot, "General Xue, your official position should be handed over by the Minister of Personnel. The minister will take you to see Secretary Wei!"

"Okay, thank you!" Xue Shao smiled and returned the gift, "General Xue", this sounds much more comfortable than "Young Master Xue"!

The three central provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty were issued an order, and the ministry reviewed the provincial government and implemented the specific implementation of the provincial government. The Tang Dynasty was like the State Council and the Prime Minister’s affairs and people’s livelihood.

As the saying goes, governing the people first, governing officials. If the officials are clean, the people will be ruled. The Ministry of Personnel manages all officials in the world and is the leader of the six ministries of the Shangshu. The Minister of Personnel is appointed as the third rank, while the other Secretary of the Shangshu only follows the third rank.

Although Xue Shao had never seen Wei Xuantong, the Minister of Personnel, he was not very unfamiliar with him, because Xue Kegou had talked to him. Wei Xuantong was a descendant of the Wei Zheng family and his personality was somewhat similar to Wei Zheng. He had an important political proposition, that is, he had always opposed the "Yinsheng" system of the court, and believed that it was too easy for aristocratic children to get official positions regardless of their good or bad; on the contrary, some talented and virtuous poor officials had no hope of promotion.

This political view coincided with Yao Yuanchong. Therefore, if Xue Shao wanted to promote Yao Yuanchong, Xue Kegou deliberately mentioned Wei Xuantong, Minister of Personnel.

The little official took Xue Shao to Wei Xuantong's official office, and Xue Shao came in to pay a visit. He looked at Wei Xuantong, a thin old man in his sixties, his cheeks were shriveled, but his spirit was very strong and his eyes were bright, and his expression seemed to be a bit serious.

"Oh, you are Xue Shao. The new Qianniu is ready." Wei Xuantong looked at Xue Shao and said quietly without praise or criticism. "I heard that you are the countermeasures and Gao Di in the ban, so you must be granted this official position?"

“That’s right.”

Wei Xuantong remained calm and said calmly: "There have always been a countermeasure to the ban, and only those who have given scattered officials will not be assigned to the official position. Qianniu has a good position, and his body is in danger. After taking office, you must be diligent and cautious, and you must not make any dereliction of duty or morality."

"Yes." Xue Shao responded, Xue Kegou was right. It seemed that Wei Xuantong was quite disgusted with the noble Yinsheng.

Wei Xuantong touched his beard and continued in an official tone: "All officials in the Tang Dynasty must follow the "Four Goods and Twenty-Seven Bests" course examination method to receive the assessment. Except for the third-rank and above officials who are personally assessed by His Majesty, the rest are assessed by the Ministry of Personnel. Officials have a small exam every year and a big exam every four years. More than 90% of officials have average grades and high-ranking grades, and few are high-ranking. In the past two years, only one Beijing official has obtained it.

Once, he was the chief of Dali Temple Di Renjie. In the first year of his tenure, he tried countless cases involving more than 17,000 people, and no one was wrongly sentenced in any case. All he earned was the last "higher and lower" among the top. If an official had a inferior position, he would be investigated by the censor or demoted or dismissed, or even beheaded and beheaded. For example, Xiao Siye, who was defeated in the previous era, was demoted and exiled."

Speaking of this, Wei Xuantong paused and said seriously: "If Qianniu gets the inferior class for the preparation course, the consequences will be more serious than ordinary officials. This is the case, I must inform you in advance."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your reminder." Xue Shao bowed his hand, thinking that his words were "loyal words". Qianniu was the emperor's personal bodyguard. If he got the "lower" exam in class, it might mean that he was not good at protecting the emperor and something happened to the emperor! - This is obviously a hundred times more serious than that of ordinary officials who got the lower class exam in class!

There are naturally rules in the officialdom, and no one can do it will. The "Four Goods and Twenty-Seven Bests" course test method must be the first clear big rule. As for many other unspoken rules, they will face them one by one in the future.

"Take your old official and I will now set up a new official for you." Wei Xuantong still spoke in an official tone.

Xue Shaoru did as he said.

Wei Xuantong took out a red cover and started writing it with his own hands.

Xue Shao waited quietly on the side, and after he finished writing and stamped a large seal, he said, "Shangshu Wei, how much should I pay for this official fee?"

"No need." Wei Xuantong said calmly, "The Qianniu Preparation is equivalent to the fifth-rank Tonggui. It is personally granted by His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no need for official complaints. You can organize a tail-burning banquet for the money saved!"

Xue Shao's heart lit up and bowed, "If Wei Shangshu could visit Xiaguan's tail-burning banquet, it would be very lucky!"

Wei Xuantong still looked like he was neither humble nor arrogant nor angry nor happy, and said calmly: "Shisang, the Minister of Revenue Department, is a good friend of me, and he seems to have mentioned this matter to me."

"The official is ashamed of being polite. He should have come to the door to invite Secretary Wei!" Xue Shao bowed, "Ask a day, the official will definitely come to your residence to submit a reply and ask for advice, and ask Secretary Wei to be able to come in condescendingly!"

"It's easy to say." Wei Xuantong didn't show his cleverness, but only said these two words.

"Then, the official will say goodbye first."

After suing his official position, Xue Shao let out the Ministry of Personnel and sighed. Wei Xuantong is very capable of pretending!

It is really difficult to deal with these officials in the court. It is difficult to understand their thoughts for a while, and they cannot understand their true positions and ideas. They can only cross the river with stones. Isn’t Xue Yuanchao like this? In contrast, Di Renjie is much more upright.

Maybe the older the official is, the older the person is, the more treacherous he is!

Xue Shao led a horse and carried two big bags, and arrived in front of the guard office of Zuo Fengchen Guard. From a distance, he saw two big flags and guns in front of the door, and two big flags were flying. There were four guards on the left and right at the door. The military uniforms were obviously different from the Qingfei robe worn by ordinary Tang soldiers. In addition to some beautiful embroidery on the clothes, there was also a lifelike and wild Taurus embroidered on the battle robe, which was beautiful, grand and heroic.

The territory of the army is indeed different. Looking at the rough and tall gate and the mighty and majestic soldiers, a vigorous and majestic aura hits the face.

Xue Shaoqiang came forward, and the soldiers' eyes lit up when they saw Xue Shao's horse. They looked at him again, and took the lead and walked forward and said, "Who is the important military aircraft coming?"

Xue Shao took out his new official position and proclaimed himself, "Xue Shao is here to take office today."

The soldiers changed color slightly. The man saw Xue Shao's official position and looked awe-inspiring in his expression. He returned the respectful general to Xue Shao, and bowed his fists and said, "It turns out to be General Xue! Lu Siyi is rude!"

Although he is only two words less than "Qianniu Preparation", he is only an eighth-rank military officer. Xue Shao, a sixth-rank Qianniu Preparation, is his immediate boss.

"I've seen General Xue!" The other soldiers also bowed together.

"Brothers, don't be polite." Xue Shao clasped his fists and bowed, and smiled, "I said for a while that I still need the help of my brothers."

"General Xue is so polite!"

Lu Siyi waved his hand, "You two, hurry up and help General Xue salute and serve the horses!"

"yes!"

Xue Shao nodded, "I'm here for brothers."

Lu Siyi looked at the Weilong BMW and said enviously: "General Xue, this is a peerless horse that has no market value. I wonder where General Xue comes from?"

Xue Shao smiled. His words were a bit like asking about my details. It was human nature. A new leader should always figure out the other party’s origin and details...Okay, as you wish!

“Gived from the palace.”

"Oh, so that's it..." Lu Siyi's face changed slightly and did not dare to ask again, and the soldiers behind him were also shocked.

The two soldiers carried the bags and led the horses respectively. Lu Siyi said, "General Xue, let the last general invite you to the Wei Mansion!"

"Okay, work."

"Please, General!"

Xue Shao stepped on the threshold of the Wei Mansion with one foot. It was really a unique and extremely spacious inside. At first, there was a large school ground, with the ground very flat and hard. It must have been because the soldiers gathered or practiced on weekdays. There were large warehouses on both sides of the school ground, each with a group of soldiers guarding each other. There were various flags, neat weapons and large stakes for horses, and there were also a group of people practicing riding and shooting or lifting stone locks in the distance, and there were a lot of shouts.

The army is full of vigorous and unrestrained atmosphere.

Xue Shao felt a throbbing in his blood vessels, which made his heart beat faster.

That's right, this is the atmosphere of the army.

Different eras, different armies; but they have the same male romance and Kong Wu’s masculine nature!
