Most of the time, eating is not eating, but talking about things. It's like informal occasions like the wine table. Many words that shouldn't have been said in public can also be properly said. Even if they can't be negotiated afterwards, it won't embarrass both sides. A "gaffe after drinking" can also take some face into account.
So seeing the invitation from Hu Tian, Shen Hao didn't think it was the other party who just wanted to buy him a drink.
The Middle Academy was originally a subordinate organization in Zuo Xiang's Yamen. It is generally the mouthpiece used by Zuo Xiang to upload and issue orders.
Later, because of the relationship between the new emperor Yang Shu, the Middle Academy was forcibly separated from the Zuo Xiang Yamen and became an independent department between the Zuo Xiang Yamen and the emperor. It enjoyed a frightening amount of hidden power, which was almost equal to the power of half of the Zuo Xiang Yamen.
Moreover, after the Middle Academy was divided, the emperor also sent his number one confidant to the Middle Academy for judgment, accompanied by a large number of counselors before the emperor ascended the throne.
People with a clear eye know that today's middle school is just a transition, because they hold the discount of all parties, all aspects of the whole country and Dynasty can be learned in the middle school, which can be used as a window to familiarize themselves with current politics. After they know it well, they can send these counselors in the middle school to local yamen, which can play a direct role.
Now the court judge of the Middle Academy, that is, the emperor's number one confidant, is the owner of the invitation in Shen Hao's hand, Lv Liang.
For Lv Liang, the black flag camp has special records.
He was born in a poor family. Although he was difficult to continue in his official career and was excluded everywhere, he was very skilled. After jumping out of his official career in anger, he became famous in the literati circle. He once refuted tens of different opinions for three hours at a Book Fair.
Later, he was recruited as a counselor by the then spiritual King Yang Shu.
After arriving at Yang Shu's men, Lv Liang gradually relied on his ability to gain Yang Shu's trust step by step, sat in the position of the counselor of King Ling's house, and until Yang Shu won the imperial examination and became emperor.
Shen Hao had talked with Jiang Cheng about the vacant post of "Zuo Xiang" before. Finally, Jiang Cheng gave the judgment that the post of "Zuo Xiang" is likely to be taken over by Cao Guobang, the current right minister, while Lv Liang, the judge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will take over the post of "Zuo Xiang".
When Lv Liang's qualifications are enough and the time is ripe, Cao Guobang, an old man in his 90s, can retire with success, and then Lv Liang will be the new left prime minister. At that time, the temporary deformed product of the Middle Academy will also be taken back to the Zuo Xiang yamen, and the group of counselors inside will officially go out and stand at the front desk and become the team power of the emperor.
This game of chess is very methodical, especially with Ye Lansheng's nest case interspersed in the middle, and the collapse of dozens of aristocratic families, so that all those who dare to resist the fall can only shrink in the corner and tremble.
This also raised the potential status of a group of former counselors in the middle school, especially Lv Liang, who was the court judge and counselor.
Blackwater once used three words to describe this person: resourceful, determined and arrogant.
The first two are positive comments, which is enough to see that Lv Liang's is not simple. The latter word is not all positive evaluation, but more a partial description of shortcomings.
According to Shen Hao's experience of looking at people, generally arrogant people will have a problem, that is, they are "narrow-minded" and bear grudges.
This kind of person is now being promoted by all aspects. Lv Liang said it's not too much to be on the top of the cloud. I haven't known each other before. How can I suddenly get an invitation? Drinking? There must be something else.
While thinking, he talked about the noodles in the bowl in front of him. A moment later, Shen Hao thought of a possibility: the Qin family.
Before, it was said that the Qin family had a relationship with Lv Liang by marriage. Now it seems that this line is well tied by the Qin family. Lv Liang was willing to help the Qin family.
If this guess is true, it also means that the Qin family has perceived the danger.
Before, the Qin family took the initiative to return the materials in arrears to Jingbei black flag camp. Lin Chen wrote about this. Now I'm pulling Lv Liang again. The mind in this is worth thinking about.
After finishing the noodles, he took the wet towel handed by Xia Nu and interrupted. Then he leaned back on his chair and sipped some tea before he said, "write back to Lv Liang and say I will go to the banquet on time. In addition, go to the wine cellar and choose three jars of Wuliangye brewed for four years, and I'll take it away."
Hu Tian nodded to understand. And he also knew Lv Liang's weight in the government and the public, so he was not surprised that Lord Shen made Wuliangye in four years.
He got up and dressed himself neatly. Shen Hao went to the Yamen as usual.
It is true that the higher the position, the more things. At least this is the case here in Shen Hao.
The whole affairs of the black flag camp in the Jingjiu Dynasty were reported from the grass-roots level to the next level. In the end, although some of them would be handled directly in the middle, there were still a lot of notes that could reach Shen Hao.
But to tell the truth, Shen Hao also knows that although he is busy, he won't bother too much.
The affairs of the black flag camp are not as complicated as those in the local areas. They are all chores. They seem to be small in the East and West, but most of them are related to the lives of the people. If there is a mistake, it is easy to be impeached, lose the official hat, and be jailed, which will affect the family's personnel.
There are two things about the black flag camp, one is "for the evil friars" and the other is "for the inside of xuanqingwei". At most, special circumstances can be counted as a "special affairs jurisdiction".
The last point is very few. Generally, it is only the first two kinds of affairs.
It is also relatively easy to handle. Moreover, it has been handled much more. There is no need to dig in many details. Just do it according to previous experience.
During this time, Shen Hao handled the most things or the pension approval notes reported by various places.
More than a dozen people are injured or killed on the front line every day. Ninety nine percent of them came from matters related to evil friars.
Moreover, since the black flag camp began to eliminate those pseudo evil friars hidden in the yamen, there have been more emergencies in the front line everywhere.
This change brings not only large pensions, but also the danger of the front line of the black flag camp.
In addition to the wartime border troops, xuanqingwei has always been the Yamen with the most frequent deaths in the national and Korean system. And now the black flag camp is even more so. According to the official newspaper last month, in March, xuanqingwei killed 79 people and injured 211. The separately listed black flag camp killed 261 people and injured 559 people.
In fact, this figure has been decreasing in late March, but it remains at a very high level. Unless one of the black flag camp and the evil friars can't carry it.
