Chapter 1531 The Ministry of Officials and the Wild Fox School

, !

Tianjing Street leads directly to the Mirror Palace, and it also passes by the side of Jingzheng Square, but each entrance is guarded by guards, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

After Zhou Fan arrived at Jingzhengfang, he also took out his identity proof. The guards immediately saluted respectfully, and assigned one person to take him to the Ministry of Officials.

When they arrived at the personnel department, they handed over to the officials of the personnel department, and the guard left immediately.

"Sir, this way please." After the official confirmed that Zhou Fan's identity was correct, his face immediately became serious and subtle.

Zhou Fan is not surprised, I am afraid that there are few officials in Jingdu who do not know the Lord of the Seventh Dao.

Zhou Fan followed the official into the personnel department. The personnel in the personnel department were very busy doing their own business. Even when Zhou Fan and the official came in, not many people raised their heads.

Zhou Fan was introduced into a wide hall.

"Sir, wait a moment, our Lord Shang Shu will be here soon." After the official asked him to bring tea, he said softly and withdrew.

Before Zhou Fan came to Jingdu, he had done a certain amount of work to understand the officialdom of Jingdu. Ning Tianrui, the minister of personnel, belonged to the Wild Fox Sect and was one of the two leaders of the Wild Fox Sect.

Another is Hu Shuming, Minister of Industry.

But Zhou Fan knew from the secret pavilion that the loose Wild Fox faction has survived to this day, and there are real leaders behind it. Now the two leaders of the Wild Fox faction are only in name.

It is that the real leader is very mysterious, and even the Secret Pavilion cannot be found.

The other big forces in the Great Wei must also know about this.

There are many people who think that the leader of the Wild Fox Sect is the imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty and is the current sage.

Such speculation is based on the fact that the Wild Fox Sect has been able to develop since its appearance to the present, and it is only slightly inferior to the three major factions of the aristocratic family, the academy, and the Great Buddha Temple.

But such speculation is not completely reliable, because the moment the Wild Fox Sect appeared, it promoted the political concept of being a gentleman and not the party. welcome and grow rapidly.

The Wild Fox Sect has been maintaining this loose development, and of course the official side will not do anything to the Wild Fox Sect.

After all, even if the factional disputes really exist, none of the academies, the aristocratic families, and the Great Buddha Temple will lift the fig leaf, and no one will dare to use the faction as an excuse to deal with the Wild Fox Sect. more serious.

If anyone really knows who the real leader of the Wild Fox Sect is, maybe there are only two nominal leaders who lead the Wild Fox Sect.

Of course, neither of them may know.

There are also people who suspect that the legendary leader of the Wild Fox faction may not exist, but it is just a rumor.

Only rely on Ning Tianrui and Hu Shuming?

While Zhou Fan was thinking about these things, a middle-aged man in a dark red official uniform with a long beard under his chin walked into the hall. He glanced at Zhou Fan with some sharp eyes, and immediately smiled with a gentle face and cupped his hands: " This must be the Lord of the North Road, Lord Zhou."

"Lord Ning." Zhou Fan also stood up and smiled.

The Taoist master has great power, but the two of them are about the same in the official rank. After the two greeted each other, they sat and chatted a few times. It didn't take long for three officials to come in with a stack of papers to go through the formalities for Zhou Fan.

After completing the relevant procedures, Ning Tianrui smiled and said, "Master Zhou, we have already arranged your accommodation, and I will have someone take you there later."

"Thank you, Lord Ning, but I have already found a place to live, so I won't bother Lord Ning." Zhou Fan said politely.

"Did Master Zhou find a place so quickly?" Ning Tianrui was a little surprised: "It's okay for Master Zhou to find another place by himself, but please tell me where you live, Master Zhou?"

"This is not for me to inquire about the residence of Lord Zhou, but if the Holy Master summons Lord Zhou, I can send someone to inform Lord Zhou."

"I have always liked things like poetry and books. I met a teaching friend in the academy, so I stayed in the academy to discuss poetry with that friend. Lord Ning can send someone to find me there." Zhou Fan said with a smile. .

Even if everyone knew that Zhou Fan belonged to the academy, he didn't want people to find an excuse to read his book.

"It turns out that Lord Zhou lives in the academy." Ning Tianrui nodded to show that he knew, and he smiled again: "I have always heard of Lord Zhou's poetic talent, a bold poem "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and a graceful poem "Sound Slow" sung The world, Zhou Juhua's name is known all over the world, and it really makes me and other untalented people envious."

The name of chrysanthemum is known all over the world... Zhou Fan twitched the corners of his mouth, he felt a little heartbroken and forced a dry smile: "Where, it's just a fluke..."

Zhou Fan didn't want to stay anymore, but said goodbye.

Ning Tianrui politely kept him, and seeing Zhou Fan insisted on leaving, he politely sent Zhou Fan out of the official department.

Ning Tianrui returned to the hall, sat down and drank a sip of tea with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Sir." A subordinate of his cronies walked in and bowed slightly.

"It's a little strange." Ning Tianrui whispered to himself.

"Where's the strangeness?" The cronies asked quickly. If Ning Tianrui didn't speak, he wouldn't dare to ask, but when the lord did speak, he naturally wanted to ask with interest.

"This week, Zhou Fan's performance from beginning to end is not too big, and he can't see the depth, but there is something wrong. When I praised his poetry and poetry just now, he seemed a little unhappy." Ning Tianrui picked Brow: "Did I say something wrong?"

"It's like when you flatter me, even if I know it's fake, I'll be happy."

The cronies smiled flatteringly: "I usually tell the adults the truth, but I don't have a word of flattery."

"You are someone who can talk." Ning Tianrui laughed.

"Sir, Zhou Fan is here to report, so what should we do with it?" The cronie asked in a low voice again.

"No." Ning Tianrui's smile faded, "It's not necessary."

The cronies didn't ask more, just nodded slightly and backed out.

Ning Tianrui took another sip of tea, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He said that it was unnecessary because Zhou Fanlai had reported. At this moment, I am afraid that the news has already spread from the official department, and it has spread to the ears of all the important people in the mirror. middle.

In fact, the Yehu faction and Zhou Fan also have a lot of contradictions. For example, the position of the four envoys of Xiaoleizhou was won by the Yehu faction from Zhou Fan, and Zhou Fan would serve in the Heishui Duhufu, and the Yehu faction was also involved in it. It took a lot of effort, and Hua Feihua used to be from the Wild Fox School...

This week, Zhou Fan was calm, and he didn't show it at all just now, as if it had never happened.

But Ning Tianrui didn't find it strange. After all, he could be the Daoist Hanbei at such an age, so how could he be treated as an ordinary young man?

only……

"The water in Jingdu is bottomless, but it's not easy to go, but don't drown." Ning Tianrui chuckled and put down the teacup thinking.
