Chapter 44 is not difficult at the beginning

What you pay attention to in officialdom is your face. Even if you are in a hurry to do some things, you still have to show calm in front of people. Even Xu Jinghong could not avoid this, so although he wanted to go to the Ministry of Public Administration to do the matter immediately, he still waited for two days until the 14th day to go to the Ministry of the Ministry of Public Administration to see what he should do.

When going to the official department, Xu Jinghong was fully prepared - no matter what kind of difficulties and rudeness he faced, he would be calm and never let people hold any handle. However, the attitude of the officials of the Ministry of Officials still surprised him, but it was not that they made things difficult, but that they were too cooperative and enthusiastic.

Several heads of the Ministry of Officials personally invited him, the Guoan Division, who only has the rank of general, into the government, and then there was a cordial reception from Chu Lingyi, many officials below Shangshu. This is not the most critical. The most important thing is that they also explained to Xu Jinghong in detail all the procedures that the Ministry of State Security needs to go through to set up, and told him that all this would be done for him immediately and would not delay him for too long.

What kind of service attitude is this? Even the services enjoyed by the VIP members of some clubs in later generations are here, right? This is completely different from the negotiation with the Ministry of Public Affairs as Xu Jinghong thought. How can things change so much? This made Xu Jinghong unable to tell for a moment whether it was really an illusion.

And in his heart, there are still some strange thoughts. Is it true that the young lady of the Chu family helped herself in the back? So your influence is too great, isn't it? This made it difficult for Xu Jinghong to focus on communicating with officials.

It was not until Wang Liehai, who followed him, hit him several times and reminded him that Xu Jinghong came to his senses and began to listen carefully to the other party's narrative, so as to know how smooth he was this time.

The establishment of a new government requires not only the approval of the imperial court, but also the filing in the Ministry of officials. The number of officials in the government office, the affairs they should be responsible for, etc. are very troublesome. Therefore, if the Ministry of Public Affairs wants to hold you back, you don't need to make any excuses. As long as you do a little tamper on some things, it will be enough for you.

But this time, there are obviously no such worries. Both the arrangement of personnel and the clarity of responsibility are very clear. The National Security Department will be newly established, and there will be 32 officials of all sizes, who will be selected from some personnel waiting to be assigned. As for the responsibility, it has been affirmed in the court meeting that the stability of the capital will no longer be allowed to rise again.

"Of course, those officials are just a framework for the overall operation of the National Security Department. If you want to make a difference, the National Security Department should also have its own government service like the Gyeonggi Province. This is not something that our Ministry of Public Affairs can decide, but should be entrusted to Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Finally, Chu Ling also gave a reminder.

Xu Jinghong walked out of the official's government, and it was still a little unbelievable. Everything went so smoothly that it didn't seem to be true. But this did happen again, and the official documents with a large seal in the hands of the official department will not be faked. Soon, Xu Jinghong, who calmed down, guessed that the other party must have done so for other purposes. However, at least from the immediate point of view, such cooperation between the Ministry of officials is only beneficial to him and has no harm.

"Team, what should we do next?" When Wang Liehai and other brothers saw that he calmed down, they asked again.

Xu Jinghong looked at the sky, and it was only after noon. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since today is so smooth, let's just keep working hard and go to the military headquarters once." Originally, he didn't want to have any contact with the Xu family so soon, but seeing that it was so smooth today, he went to have a try.

The attitude of the military department towards Xu Jinghong and others is much colder, and Xu Wanyou still has some grudges about this son. However, Xu Zhengnian had spread the message, and Xu Wanyou did not dare to disobey his father's intention, so he met Xu Jinghong in the second hall.

"I know your intention. However, our military department must have the official document of the Ministry of Officials before you can do other matters for you, so you'd better go to the Ministry of Officials first. Seeing that this son did not have any respect in the face of himself, or even the attitude he should have when asking people to do things, made Xu Wanyou very dissatisfied. In anger, he ignored his father's warning, but dealt with it with this most formal attitude.

The situation that surprised Xu Wanyou happened. After hearing his words, Xu Jinghong happily took out a series of documents of the official department and handed them to him: "Everything in the official department has passed. Chu Shangshu also mentioned that if our national security department wants to recruit servants, it still needs the approval of the Ministry of War.

"Hmm?" After taking over this series of documents in disbelief, Xu Wanyou immediately looked at them at a glance. Although he didn't read it carefully, he was sure that these documents were true and were indeed issued by the Ministry of Public Affairs.

"Oh, what's Chu Ling's idea? At the court meeting, he also opposed Xu Jinghong's entry into the officialdom and the opening of this national security division. Why did you cooperate so much in a blink of an eye? Xu Wanyou, who was full of doubts, pinched the stack of documents and fell into meditation.

But Xu Jinghong did not give him much time to meditate and quickly asked, "Well, can Lord Xu determine the authenticity of these official documents?" Can the Ministry of War issue documents for subordinate officers?

Seeing Xu Jinghong's businesslike appearance, he did not regard his father as a father, which made Xu Wanyou feel very uncomfortable. According to his nature, Xu Jinghong must suffer some pain this time, but now it is really difficult to embarrass him with legitimate excuses. And there was pressure from his father. Finally, Xu Wanyou had to say with a cold face, "Xu Dusi is really a good ability. He can ask the official department to compromise in a short time. Since the Ministry of Affairs has done everything, our military department will not delay.

In this way, at dark, Xu Jinghong had completed the business in these two government offices that he was most worried about, which was really too smooth. But this is better than being restrained at the beginning, at least he is getting closer and closer to his real power.

In the palace, the emperor was listening to Huang Yue's active cooperation between the two government departments during the day. After listening to it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I really didn't expect that Xu Jinghong could pass two levels so smoothly. It seems that he is indeed a blessed man. I will definitely make no mistake in using him.

"Your Majesty, there is another thing that the old slave must also explain that his relationship with the Xu family is still very cold."

"Oh? Just say it carefully." The emperor became interested as soon as he heard it.

"Today, in the government office of the Ministry of War, the two father and son have always spoken on official business. Xu Wanyou was still so angry that his face turned pale, but in the end, there was nothing he could do with Xu Jinghong.

"This is a little weird. Since Xu Jinghong doesn't give him face so much, how can Xu Wanyou cooperate so much?

"It's still because of Xu Zhengnian's meaning. It seems that the old marquis still understands the situation of the Xu family at present and wants to pull Xu Jinghong to his side as much as possible. However, as far as the old slave saw, I'm afraid that his wishes could not be heard. The feud between Xu Jinghong and the Xu family cannot be resolved in a short time.

"Well, in this way, I can rest assured." The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "It's time to say something to Xu Jinghong. Huang Yue, I will leave this to you. If he is really loyal to me, we can also use those people for him. After all, Guoan has another layer of use.

"The old slave received the order! In these two days, the old slave will go to meet Xu Jinghong. Huang Yue hurriedly responded.

"It's really sad. I, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, have to use these shady means to compete with those rebellious ministers. I have humiliated the ancestors of the Zhao family!" The emperor's face showed a faint sadness.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself so much. Everything will be fine! The old slave believes that soon, those powerful ministers who do not pay attention to His Majesty will be punished the most severely!" Huang Yue saw that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to persuade him.

Seeing him like this, the emperor recovered a little and sighed, "Get up, I'm just a little excited. Now is not the time to talk about this, let's grasp the situation first. Xu Jinghong must use it, and his strength should be enhanced as soon as possible, but he is not enough to challenge those families now!"

"The old slave knows. Your Majesty, it's already the third update. You'd better take a rest first!"

Soon, the whole bedroom calmed down again, and only the thin Huang Yue stayed beside the emperor like a dead tree, just like every day for decades.

@@@

Today is also the second update, and the second update will be delivered on the evening
