Chapter 275
Fang Gan, this Son of Luck, entered the imperial capital for the first time and was temporarily living in Luo Yong's house.
The family style of Luo Yong's house was very good, and they were also very good to Fang Gan.
Luo Yong's parents always praised Fang Gan for being a talent, much better than their own Luo Yong who made them worry.
"Nephew Fang, look at you, at such a young age you have such cultivation; you are truly a dragon among men!" Luo Yong's mother said with a smile, her eyes full of appreciation.
Fang Gan smiled slightly and said modestly: "Auntie, you overpraise me; Luo Yong is the one who is truly amazing. He is the champion of the Ethereal Immortal Alliance's Sword Discussion Assembly, winning first place out of sixty thousand people; in terms of sword intent, even I can't beat him."
Hearing this, Luo Yong raised his head proudly, his face full of smugness.
Luo Yong's parents were full of surprise, not expecting their son to be so promising.
"Really? Luo Yong, why didn't you tell the family?" Luo Yong's father patted Luo Yong on the shoulder, his eyes full of gratification.
Which father doesn't hope for his son to become excellent, especially since the Luo family recently had a high official appear, and Luo Yong was also appreciated by His Majesty and entered the Ministry of Personnel through the assessment.
As parents, especially parents with relatively stubborn thoughts, they all felt that having a government position was better than anything else; stability is the most important thing.
For Luo Yong's parents, this was great news.
Luo Yong scratched his head and laughed: "I just didn't have time to say it yet."
Although Luo Yong's parents praised Fang Gan endlessly, Fang Gan always maintained a modest attitude.
After all, he had just arrived in the imperial capital to mix; he couldn't steal the limelight from his good brother.
Besides, everyone had to mix in the Ministry of Personnel together, so they should help each other.
Fang Gan was not the type to show off, and he did things very casually.
Luo Yong also had a younger brother named Luo Yi.
Luo Yi admired Fang Gan very much and was always pestering him to ask for advice on sword techniques.
Fang Gan would also teach him a few moves when he had time, which made Luo Yi admire him even more.
"Brother Fang, your sword technique is truly too powerful! My brother being able to defeat you, I feel he must have cheated!" Luo Yi said excitedly.
Hearing this, Luo Yong couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You brat, you're turning your elbows out, aren't you?"
But he said this very weakly, because his brother was actually right.
If you ask why Luo Yong didn't teach him, it's also because this brat is cheating; his own sword intent really can't compare to Fang Gan's.
Fang Gan smiled and patted Luo Yi on the shoulder: "Your brother is also very powerful, he's just usually too lazy to make a move."
Just like that, Fang Gan lived in Luo Yong's house, and his days were quite comfortable.
Today was Luo Yong and Fang Gan's first day joining the Ministry of Personnel.
As family members of the new Minister of Personnel, Luo Hui, Luo Yong and Fang Gan were considered to be doing well in the Ministry of Personnel, and the officials were quite polite to them.
After all, everyone still had to give face to the Minister of Personnel.
"Luo Yong, Fang Gan, you two go to the Merit Examination Department to report first and familiarize yourselves with the work process." An official from the Ministry of Personnel said to them.
Luo Yong and Fang Gan nodded and were just about to go to the Merit Examination Department, but they didn't expect to meet Luo Yong's old enemy, the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan, Xu Zifeng, at the entrance of the Ministry of Personnel.
Xu Zifeng used to beat people up often in the imperial capital to hide his clumsiness, and many second-generation children had been beaten by him.
He came to the Ministry of Personnel today to arrange official positions for his subordinates.
After all, mixing in the imperial court, one cannot be alone; many things need manpower to be handled well.
He was not only the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan but also the young master of the Ji family.
Xu Zifeng participated in the Northern Expedition and the Western Conquest; even if he did have thoughts of rebellion at the time, he had never exposed them, so he was considered to have great military achievements and could have his own personal guards and adjutants, which were also considered government positions.
Those disciples of the Ji family obeyed him and were just waiting to rely on him to take off.
Coupled with the fact that his father really didn't have any intention of rebelling now, he also became honest.
Under his mother's instructions, Xu Zifeng came to the Ministry of Personnel early in the morning to let his subordinates enter the assessment, which was a review of family background and the like; if they passed, they could enter the system.
"Wang Wang Shizi Xu, please this way." An official from the Ministry of Personnel said respectfully.
Many officials were still clear about the prestige of the Wang Wang Shizi.
No matter what, his father was the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan bestowed by the former Emperor.
Xu Zifeng nodded and was leading his subordinates to walk inside, but was stopped by a small clerk from the Ministry of Personnel.
"Stop! Do you have an appointment?"
Luo Yong looked at Xu Zifeng aggressively, blocking his way.
Xu Zifeng's violent temper flared up immediately. He asked directly: "Who are you? I still need an appointment? And do we know each other?"
Luo Yong was so angry his face turned green: "Last time on Tianlan Street, you molested the women of the Liu family and also hurt me; have you really forgotten?"
Luo Yong had been beaten very miserably last time, and he had remembered it until now.
Xu Zifeng glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't remember."
This wasn't him avoiding the important, but he had beaten no less than eight hundred second-generation children, so how could he remember who Luo Yong was.
Besides, he was at least a Captain, so how could he look down on someone with an ordinary government position in the Ministry of Personnel.
After Xu Zifeng finished speaking, he walked straight past; this fellow didn't have the habit of taking a detour and bumped straight into Luo Yong's shoulder.
With Luo Yong's cultivation, how could he compare to Xu Zifeng? He felt like he had been hit by a warhorse, retreating repeatedly, almost falling to the ground.
Just at this moment, Fang Gan beside him grabbed Xu Zifeng's shoulder.
"Stop!" Fang Gan said coldly.
!
Seeing his good brother get bumped, he would definitely make a move.
Xu Zifeng was instantly restrained there, unable to move.
He looked at Fang Gan with fierce eyes, but felt a bit surprised in his heart: This person of the same age as me actually has this kind of strength?
Fang Gan wasn't afraid of him; both were Sons of Luck, and their strength was about the same.
The next second, both of them simultaneously activated their Meridian Arts, and a small-scale conflict broke out at the entrance of the Ministry of Personnel.
Boom!
The aura of the two collided, stirring up a gust of wind, and the surrounding officials and clerks retreated one after another, fearing being affected.
"Stop!"
Just at this moment, the head of the Merit Examination Department hurried over.
He directly pried the two apart and then shouted sternly: "This is the Ministry of Personnel, not a place for you to fight! You are all imperial court officials, how can you make a move here?"
Fang Gan and Xu Zifeng then stopped, but the hostility in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
The grudge between the three of them could be considered to have been formed today.
After Xu Zifeng led people in, Fang Gan frowned and asked: "Who is he? How is he so arrogant?"
Luo Yong sighed and said in a low voice: "He is the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan, Xu Zifeng; he used to be a famous playboy in the imperial capital."
Luo Yong told Xu Zifeng's evil deeds.
After listening, Fang Gan's brows frowned even tighter: "Can a person like him still be a general?"
Luo Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You don't know, the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan relies on military power, and his influence is huge; the former Emperor, in order to stabilize him, bestowed his son Xu Zifeng as a Captain. To put it bluntly, the former Emperor put the big picture first to avoid infighting and avoid the suffering of the people."
Fang Gan nodded thoughtfully: "So the inside of the imperial court is so complicated."
Although he had just arrived in the imperial capital, he also knew that a vassal king who relied on military power would have a very serious impact on the imperial court.
But listening to Luo Yong continue, after His Majesty Li Chen ascended the throne, the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan became much more honest.
This is enough to show how correct the thigh Fang Gan chose was.
As the two were talking, the head of the Merit Examination Department who had sent Xu Zifeng away walked over, frowning and saying: "You two, causing trouble on the first day you join, do you not want to work anymore?"
Luo Yong and Fang Gan hurriedly lowered their heads to admit their mistakes: "Master Head, we know we were wrong, we will definitely pay attention next time."
The head snorted coldly: "That's enough, hurry up and report, don't stand here."
Luo Yong and Fang Gan looked at each other and hurriedly followed the head into the Merit Examination Department.
The Merit Examination Department is one of the four major departments of the Ministry of Personnel, mainly responsible for the assessment and promotion of officials.
Luo Yong and Fang Gan were assigned to the Archives Division, responsible for organizing and verifying the resumes and achievements of officials.
"This work is quite easy." Fang Gan looked through the files in his hand and said with a smile.
In fact, he also understood that Luo Yong had someone above him, which is why the work arranged was easy.
If there was no one, he would definitely have to do the most bitter and tiring work.
With the increase of Sons of Luck in the imperial court, the May Tian Ce Dynasty not only improved in foundation but also ushered in earth-shaking changes in many aspects.
These changes, even Li Chen himself had not fully realized.
