For the government re-examination, Lu Zhi was familiar with the job.
He told Liu Bei that the re-examination was just a formality and he didn't need to say anything, he could pass it casually.
The rules that Zuo Xiong worked so hard to establish are now being played with by high-ranking officials. Liu Bei didn't even need to find Lu Zhi to use the back door to successfully pass the government re-examination.
The results are similar.
A few days later, Liu Bei successfully passed the ineffective government re-examination and received the certificate of passing the examination.
In Liu Bei's opinion, as long as you read the book and learn how to read sentences, you can pass the assessment questions. The form is far greater than the meaning. It is not a system with a testing nature at all.
A few days later, Liu Bei was officially appointed by the imperial court and learned that he had been assigned to the Lang's Office and became a glorious Han Lang official.
Because of Lu Zhi's relationship, Liu Bei was able to enter Cao Guanzheng, the official of Shangshutai where Lu Zhi was located, and undertake some simple errands.
Although this is the task of the official official of Shangshutai, as Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's disciple, no one thinks this is bad - Liu Bei will most likely be an official of Shangshutai anyway.
What's wrong with Lu Zhi, the minister who has the status of a minister, and recommends his outstanding disciples to work at the minister's desk?
Everyone thinks so.
In addition to running errands at the Chancellery, Liu Bei actually had another task, which was to serve as a palace guard, holding a halberd to guard a certain palace gate as a Langguan.
This duty is good, and it is indeed good, because you can see many important people from the Han Dynasty face to face, high-ranking officials and the like. If you become familiar with them, you may have a chance to curry favor with them in the future.
But it is not a good thing to say, because everyone knows that duty is a very tiring thing. It would be good if it is a sunny day. If it is hot in summer and cold in winter, it would be the same as standing at the gate of the palace for a day. Come to the West to learn scriptures.
Besides, which dignitary would treat a halberd-wielding official differently? Do you really think everyone can be Han Xin?
It's just self-comfort.
So Liu Bei really doesn't like duty.
He preferred to stay at the Chancellor's Desk and follow Lu Zhi, watching how Lu Zhi worked and how he handled government affairs and maintained the operation of the Han Empire.
To put it bluntly, the center of power of the Eastern Han Empire was the Shangshutai. The head of the Shangshutai and the various ministers actually controlled the country's lifeline in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Really capable people could accomplish great things here.
In contrast, quite a few of the three ministers and nine ministers are actually honorary positions and have no real power. As long as they cannot record the affairs of the minister, it is just for good looks.
For example, the number one scapegoat in Tianzi - Taiwei.
According to Liu Hong's regulations, this is a position that can be bought with money. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy a Taiwei position.
Of course, this is not without its risks.
Whenever a natural disaster occurs, the emperor of Han Dynasty, who pays attention to the harmony between heaven and man, will depose the senior officials of the Han Dynasty in order to respond to the punishment of heaven.
After all, the emperor cannot be dismissed, so he can only dismiss the three princes.
Unfortunately, as a decoration, the Taiwei is often the first to be dismissed.
But even though Liu Hong loves money as much as his life, he would not just sell his position at the Chancery. How important is the position at the Chancery? Even when Liu Hong was driving a donkey cart wildly in the palace, he would not sell it casually. I don’t understand.
That is a position that really handles affairs and maintains the normal operation of the center of the Han Dynasty. To sell this kind of position, does he feel that he is too comfortable as an emperor?
Therefore, although Lu Zhi wanted to work with Cai Yong and others in Dongguan to compile "Dongguan Hanji", Liu Hong believed that writing a book was not an important job. Finally, Lu Zhi, who was extremely capable, should be in an important position for He shares worries.
So he transferred Lu Zhi to the Shangshutai and asked Lu Zhi to manage important work in this area.
Lu Zhi's work was very busy. He and Liu Bei also had to run errands in various departments of the imperial court, including the official offices of the Sangong and Jiuqing, the local government offices in the capital, the military camps of the garrison in the capital, and other departments that also belonged to the Shangshutai. 's office.
All in all, I just kept running errands, running here and there. Sometimes the distance was too far and horses were not allowed, so I had to run as fast as I could while running away from the No. 11 bus.
In order to impress Lu Zhi and other big-name officials at the Secretariat that this young man was hard-working and hard-working, Liu Bei transformed into Liu Paopao and ran around looking familiar.
Some of Lu Zhi's acquaintances within the department already knew Liu Bei. They had contacts with Liu Bei when Liu Bei was studying in Luoyang a few years ago, so it was very convenient to deal with the problem.
However, when encountering an official office hosted by some officials from the Jinwen school, they would intentionally or unintentionally make things difficult for Liu Bei, giving him all kinds of shoes to wear, which was very unscrupulous.
Newcomers who have just arrived have no choice but to secretly write down the names and looks of these guys so that they can look good to them someday.
The petty Mr. Liu is by no means a kind person. If someone gives him a bad look, given time, he will definitely retaliate.
But no matter what, in less than two months, Liu Bei quickly became familiar with the pattern of power operation in the Han Dynasty. At the same time, he also quickly mastered flying legs, broke four pairs of shoes, and wore out three pairs of pants.
According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, officials generally took five days off and one day off.
Moreover, once an official's level reaches a certain level, he will not be able to go home in the official office for five consecutive days after starting work, and will not be able to go home to take a shower and rest until he is on holiday.
In a sense, this is also the court's control over the officials who hold power.
Logically speaking, Liu Bei's level is not high enough to have such rules, but because he works at the Shangshutai, he has too many things to do. Even if his official position is low, he cannot go home after get off work.
So I had to work in the government office for five whole days, get along with a bunch of big men, eat and sleep together, and finally get to the holiday, which felt like being released from prison.
I came home smelly and exhausted, took a shower, and couldn't help but want to sleep on the comfortable big bed at home.
Being an official is really not easy.
If he had gotten up early, Liu Bei could have had dinner with Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, and complained about the inhumane overtime policy of the Han Dynasty Secretariat and the tragic reality of no overtime pay.
Of course, when faced with the needs that Han Ning and Han Xiaodie occasionally revealed inadvertently, Liu Bei mostly retreated when he first became an official.
He really felt the sadness and helplessness of those office workers who returned home after frequently working overtime and faced the order to pay public rations.
I ran back and forth in the official office of Shangshutai every day, and I was as tired as a dog. Finally, on my holiday, I dragged my lead-filled legs home. I was so tired that I couldn't even lift my head. After eating, I just wanted to sleep. No energy at all.
But with a lovely wife and a beautiful concubine by his side, as a man who has not yet reached his twenties, how can he accept this reality?
Han Ning is easier to deal with. Han Xiaodie is the real general and the real ace player. Liu Bei didn't have a formal job when he got married, so he can compete with Han Xiaodie on a equal footing.
But now Liu Bei was drained of his body by the evil monarchy and the numerous and complicated tasks. When he finally returned home on the holiday, he was really powerless to face Han Xiaodie.
No, Liu Bei's overlord pride was aroused.
I am not yet twenty years old, so my young body is not good enough?
Liu Bei decided to strengthen nutritional supplements and physical exercise, swim against the current, and find a balance between the harsh and boring work and the exciting family life.
He gradually learned to find the shortest routes and shortcuts from the Chancellery to various places where he ran errands, and memorized them firmly.
He also learned how to put away his temper and pretend to be a grandson. After all, in the palace, his street fighter skills had no place to display.
He also learned to adjust his breathing while running and adopted scientific and effective running methods to reduce physical energy loss.
He also learned other high-level combat skills in life.
When faced with Han Ning and Han Xiaodie's unreasonable sneak attacks, they no longer relied on their youth to take the output flow route, but instead chose to take the skill flow route, trying to achieve the effect of lifting a thousand pounds with four ounces.
While he focuses on honing his skills, he also consults some senior officials around him for tips on balancing work and family life when he has time, and draws nourishment from them, which has benefited him a lot.
He soon realized that every official who could balance heavy work and family life was a senior he could learn from.
Even a middle-aged official with an unattractive appearance can give very precise and clever suggestions when talking about work and life.
At first he dismissed the so-called "three hundred and sixty skills" to become the number one scholar, but now, he finally understood.
Soon after, both Han Ning and Han Xiaodie felt satisfied and no longer felt empty, lonely and cold after not being able to see their husbands for five days in a row.
In this way, in the third month of observing politics in Shangshutai, Liu Bei found the balance between social animals and life, and adjusted his physical condition very well. Whether it was life or work, he was able to play with it.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi was very happy, thinking that Liu Bei had realized the true meaning of the work of a social animal, and praised Liu Bei, praising Liu Bei as an excellent social animal, and he would definitely inherit his mantle in the future and become a glorious minister of the Han Dynasty.
Then continue to ninety-nine sixty-seven, dedicating youth, blood and hair to the well-being of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the powerful men.
Liu Bei said that he would definitely comply with his master's request and work hard to dedicate himself to the Han Dynasty.
In this atmosphere, Liu Bei ushered in the end of the third year of Guanghe.
