Chen Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Master Ji, your journey has been extremely bumpy."
Ji Xingsheng said: "What happens next is even more mysterious."
"I started out as a chief officer in the Department of Household Affairs. I started as an eighth-rank official, which is considered to be the lowest-ranking official position in the Department of Household Affairs."
"Of course I don't mind it, and I do my best."
"Unexpectedly, within a year, Prime Minister Wen fell, and the rest of the party was also affected. At that time, several officials belonging to the Ministry of Household Affairs were closest to Prime Minister Wen. His Majesty wanted to scare the monkeys, so the Ministry of Households suffered hardships. Hu, Du, Jin , three of the four doctors in Cang were downgraded. Because I have a clean background, I was not implicated, and I was promoted because of it, from the eighth rank to the chief doctor, to the fifth rank!"
"After that..."
Ji Xingsheng opened his mouth and said, "Hubu was in trouble for a while, but it gradually calmed down. I thought that at this age, I would be just a doctor."
"Then something unexpected happened."
"That day, His Majesty checked the accounts and found some errors, so I, the doctor of Duzhi, was summoned to the court."
"And when I saw the current His Majesty, I recognized him immediately!"
"It's the prince!!"
Ji Xingsheng took a deep breath and said, "Even if I talk about it today, I am still shocked. Ji could never have imagined that the person sitting in that position now would be the prince Zeng Jingshi!"
Chen Changsheng asked: "It's indeed surprising."
"How can you not be surprised!"
Ji Xingsheng said: "What's the difference between this and a dead person suddenly coming back to life?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I don't want to say this."
Ji Xingsheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a private chat."
"But I'm still surprised..."
Ji Xingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Later, after I reported the matter, I left the hall. When I went back, I even thought about it for many days, not even thinking about food or tea."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why don't you think about tea and rice? Shouldn't Master Ji hope that His Majesty will recognize you and then promote you?"
Ji Xingsheng looked around and whispered: "Mr. Chen, I am an official of the previous dynasty! An official of the previous dynasty came to this dynasty to take the exam, and after passing the exam, he became an official. What does your majesty think?"
"If I don't save my life, my life will be lost!"
Chen Changsheng couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, Master Ji, you..."
"Mr. Chen, please lower your voice, please lower your voice..."
Chen Changsheng suppressed his smile, this was really funny to him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Changsheng coughed slightly, and then asked: "No wonder Master Ji is afraid, but speaking of it, didn't Master Ji think about returning to the scene at that time?"
"Of course I have thought about it."
Ji Xingsheng said: "The people of Jing were tortured and slaughtered. How could I swallow this injustice? So I often paid attention to some state affairs in the mountains and fields, and I also inquired about a lot of news."
"But in the end, we found that the possibility of returning to the scene is not high! It can even be said to be completely impossible!"
Ji Xingsheng's eyes were very vicious.
It is indeed true that it is impossible to restore the scenery.
If it weren't for the painting that Mr. Zhulan left in Qingshan City at that time, the Defender Army might have fallen long ago, and there would be no counterattack at all.
No matter how powerful the counselor is, he is helpless.
Ji Xingsheng said: "To be honest, I went to Chunwei at that time because I saw that there was no hope for Jingren to recover. Ji thought that Jingren's change was definitely not based on force. Now that this way is unavailable, he has no choice but to find another way. I thought about entering the officialdom again and finding a way for Jingren for the time being. If Jingren has a chance in the future, I can cooperate with him inside and outside."
"If not, who would be willing to recognize a thief as his father?"
"I see……"
"Exactly."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and did not suspect anything. Instead, he continued to ask: "Then Your Majesty didn't recognize Master Ji afterwards, right?"
Ji Xingsheng said: "Of course I recognized him. For Your Majesty, it is especially easy to check a person."
"Then how did His Majesty deal with you?"
"Actually, as Mr. Chen said, not only did His Majesty not deal with me, he also promoted me and made me the Minister of Household Affairs."
"Why is this?"
Ji Xingsheng said: "Actually, Ji didn't understand either. It wasn't until he saw some things over the years that he could guess a little bit."
"whats the matter?"
"There are more and more people in the court."
Ji Xingsheng said: "Perhaps Your Majesty recognized me from the moment he saw my name on the imperial examination list, but whether this is the case, who can say clearly."
The meaning of this can be imagined.
When Yan Ruchu came to the throne, he started to do some things.
He has never forgotten that he is the prince of Dajing, with the blood of the Yan family flowing in his body. In the past few years, countless things have happened in the court, and there is a shadow behind everything. Subtly, Mrs. Xiang has The old officials left by the ancestors were replaced one by one. Slowly, more and more people in the court talked...
The ultimate goal is to hope that one day.
Change the word Xiang! !
"Boiling a frog in warm water is a good idea..." Chen Changsheng said.
Ji Xingsheng said: "Ji has not yet understood Mr. Chen's words."
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen thinks that Master Ji has nothing he dare not say."
After all, they have said that the dead come back to life.
Ji Xingsheng said: "What can I do? Ji can only pretend to be stupid."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
There are some things that cannot be said, but they can be said in private. But there are some things that cannot be said, then they must not be said!
The two of them did not continue the conversation.
Immediately, Chen Changsheng asked: "Is it because of Your Majesty that Master Ji is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Ji Xingsheng looked at Chen Changsheng, shook his head and said, "Before becoming the Minister, perhaps Ji's promotion was due to good luck, but this is not the case after becoming the Minister."
He took a sip of tea and continued.
"My family and country are back together, and people in the country are gradually rising up, so I feel that the burden on me is much lighter. Plus, I am already old, so I no longer have the intention to compete for the position of minister."
"I thought I could live the rest of my life peacefully like this."
"But later, I saw with my own eyes how the former minister was blinded by gold and silver, how he was corrupt, how he turned black into white, and how he pocketed people's money."
"I have no intention of participating, but that minister wants my life. Either he will join in the conspiracy, or he will die suddenly in the daytime."
Ji Xingsheng turned around and said calmly: "In desperation, Ji had no choice but to ask him to move his position."
This simple sentence contains a lot of dark officialdom.
Is Ji Xingsheng really an honest person?
He knew this officialdom very well.
The methods are mostly shady.
Chen Changsheng didn't ask in detail and pondered for a long time.
The breeze blew across his face, and it was so cool.
Chen Changsheng suddenly asked something irrelevant.
"Chen has a doubt."
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen."
"Master Ji burned down the house in the mountains. Was it really impulsive?"
Ji Xingsheng was stunned for a moment, but he just smiled and did not answer.
Only he knows whether it is true or false.
But what does this have to do with burning down the house?
Of course it is related.
Because only by wiping everything clean can he suddenly become a Xiangren!
But this still doesn't prove anything.
There are always lies in words, and no outsider can see clearly.
Chen Changsheng was just a little curious.
