"The student is Liang Pingan and Liang Ziheng." Liang Pingan also saluted the chief minister.

After hearing Liang Ping'an say his name, the Chief Assistant nodded slightly, and there was a smile on his face. It was completely different from the expression he had on the other ministers in the palace. His expression softened, and then

Walking towards the inner room, he said to Liang Ping'an: "Come with me."

But when he walked past the other ministers, he snorted with disdain. When he snorted, all the ministers hurriedly leaned down, and some of them even trembled.

When Liang Ping'an saw that the Chief Assistant wanted to go in with him, of course he knew that he had to go in. There was no need to refuse, and of course he couldn't refuse. Who knew that the Chief Assistant was the person who was worth more than ten thousand people.

Liang Pingan followed and walked in.

The Lord Chief Assistant was sitting on a Taishi chair in the inner room.

The Chief Assistant took a sip from the tea cup, put it down, and then looked at Liang Pingan, who hurriedly bent down even lower.

Then in Liang Ping'an's eyes, Lord Chief Assistant smiled slightly, then sighed and said, "I have wronged you."

Liang Ping'an was so surprised that if there could be any data value to show it, he would probably have to break through the roof.

He was indeed surprised. What does this Lord Shouxue mean? What does it mean to have wronged me?

O conscience of heaven and earth, I have only been in the capital for two days at most. Do I know you?

Brother, no, grandpa, are we not familiar with each other?

Moreover, I didn’t encounter any grievances when I came to the capital. What does it mean to feel grievances against “me”?

Just when Liang Ping'an was about to wonder if the old man in front of him was a fool, the old man spoke again:

"Oh, Prince Lu is so outrageous!"

When Liang Ping'an heard this, he immediately understood that this is what feelings are about!

However, Liang Ping'an immediately had doubts. This Lord Chief Assistant knew that he had been arrested and put into the dungeon of Prince Lu's Mansion. This made sense, but he was so concerned about his tone. What the hell did he mean?

Are you not related to him?

Seemingly seeing Liang Ping'an's puzzled expression, the First Assistant smiled and explained, "That's it, your Zhongzhou academic officer Li Dong is my student."

When Liang Ping'an heard this, he suddenly felt excited. He didn't expect that Mr. Ti Xueguan was actually Mr. Shofu's disciple?

No wonder, Mr. Shofu cares about himself??

But immediately Liang Ping'an immediately hit the snake with a stick, knelt down and worshiped: "It turns out it's the master in front of you! Please forgive me for my previous rudeness!"

The first assistant immediately smiled and said: "Get up, you didn't know about our relationship before."

Liang Ping'an also stood up at this time.

Because the academic officer Li Dong was Liang Ping'an's tutor, it was justifiable for Liang Ping'an to call the chief assistant his master.

Lord Chief Assistant said again: "Zi Heng, your words of 'Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations!' are very good!"

Liang Ping'an hurriedly bowed again: "Disciple and grandson just said it casually, and should not be praised by master."

"Too modest," the first assistant laughed. After a while, his smile gradually faded, but his face became serious:

"But as for "A Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality", why did you write this book? Storytelling is just nonsense after all!"

What Mr. Chief Assistant said was already a criticism. Liang Ping'an just smiled helplessly and said:

"Master, in fact... in fact, this is all due to livelihood constraints. Master must also know that his disciple has a business called: 'Huanghe Trading Company', which has to support a large number of people.

Because... because Prince Lu's Mansion collects tolls on the trade road, and the tolls he charges are extremely heavy. To the extent that the goods from Tusun's shop are shipped out, the price paid is really too high.

We are almost unable to make ends meet! That’s why my disciple wanted to write this best-selling novel to somewhat compensate for the losses of some businesses.”

"That's it!" Lord Chief Assistant stroked his beard and nodded.

But then he seemed to think of something again, and his face became solemn again: "Zi Heng, did you have contact with those people outside just now?"

Liang Ping'an nodded: "We had a brief conversation."

"Humph, they are just a group of flattering and sycophantic ministers. Ziheng comes into contact with them. After all, it is impossible for them to have intersections in the officialdom, but remember not to have close friendship with them." The first assistant said:

"They may cite you as the same kind. After all, your "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" has been written in the heart of the Holy One. There is no way that the Holy One will grant you an official title."

Liang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Master, my disciples and disciples will never accept this kind of official appointment. If I want to be an official, will my disciples still use such a flattering and holy face to get the official position?"

My disciple is already a ‘Little Sanyuan’, and he already has a bright path to take the imperial examination, so he should take the imperial examination and become an official!”

"Hahahahaha..." The first assistant burst into laughter. After the laughter stopped, he patted the armrest of the seat and was very pleased:

"Okay, be ambitious, be ambitious! I, a Confucian disciple, should be upright, take the imperial examination and become an official!

If you are appointed an official by the decree of the Holy One, no matter how upright you are, if you end up among the scholars of the government and the public, you are just a sycophant!

Nowadays, the vast majority of civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty obtained their official positions through the imperial examination. Obtaining an official position through the imperial examination is also the most upright and well-founded official career.

Even if you have setbacks in your official career, others will not attack your reputation because you have established yourself upright and passed the imperial examination to become an official, so you are on the right track."

After Liang Ping'an heard these words, he also agreed with these words. In ancient times, as an official, there were a lot of circles formed by people of the same discipline and age. If you can't get in, you won't be able to go long in the officialdom.

Which superior officer is displeased and Lian Hejin slanders you and sends you to jail? That is unjust!

Liang Ping'an asked his chief assistant again: "Master, if your Majesty really wants to give you an official title, then your disciple..."

After all, in Liang Ping'an's heart, such disobedience would lead to beheading! This was mostly what he saw in TV series in his previous life.

The chief assistant shook his head: "If you resist the order and do not comply, you will be beheaded, but this is not accurate.

Although the saying "civilian officials are noble and military officers are humble" is criticized by others, it is actually true.

If a military attaché dares to violate the order and dare to resist the order, he can be beheaded directly. That is disobeying the order!

But civil servants are different.

If the imperial edict is issued by a central edict, you also know that the edict is just an edict issued by His Majesty alone. It has not been sealed by the cabinet and has not been issued through the regular channel of the General Affairs Department.

Then, as a civil servant, even a seventh-grade county magistrate can refuse to accept such an edict.

If the Holy One wants to appoint you as an official, it must be a civil service. Since you are a civil official, there is no need to worry. You can just decline politely and say that you want to take the imperial examination and become an official."

Liang Pingan nodded.

In fact, this kind of regulation regarding "imperial edicts" was indeed like this in the history of Liang Ping'an's previous life in China, such as the Song Dynasty, and it was roughly the same as the Ming Dynasty.
