"Eunuch Li, are you looking for me when you come to Jinling this time?"

Qin Mu asked in surprise, "You must know that compared to this eunuch of the Sili Prison, Li Yongzhen, Qin Mu was a small person who could not be even smaller in front of others. How could he be qualified to come from the capital from thousands of miles away just to find himself."

"Our factory admires Mr. Qin's talent very much. The factory has praised you in front of us more than once. This time, the factory has attached great importance to him when he saw the memorial recommended by King Zhennan. He specially asked our family to invite Mr. Qin to meet the saint. Mr. Qin, our factory attaches great importance to you. I have been by the factory for decades, and it is the first time I have seen the factory seeking talents like this." Li Yongzhen looked at Qin Mu and said.

What Li Yongzhen said is the truth. Although Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang and Jinyiwei are very strong, there are not many real talents, especially in the outer court. The officials in the court basically obey the cabinet. There are very few people belonging to Wei Zhongxian's camp and are all in a not very important position, which makes Wei Zhongxian very eager to have his own voice in the outer court.

However, being an official in the court is not like the Dongchang and Jinyiwei. There is no big requirement, as long as you are a healthy person. Being an official in the court is talented and capable, otherwise, those literati-born officials will not accept it and will not stand firm in the court. So for Wei Zhongxian, what he lacks now is this kind of talented talents.

However, the talented literati of the Qin Dynasty all had a bad temper. In elegant words, they had backbone, character, self-righteousness, and could not see ordinary people clearly, let alone eunuchs who were neither male nor female, and they were disdainful of cooperating with eunuchs. The higher the talent, the more disdained people with eunuchs.

This time, the King of Zhennan submitted a memorial to recommend Qin Mu as the county magistrate of Shique, but it alarmed the eldest princess, prince, Eunuch Wei, and the cabinet masters.

Because of the two lyrics of Qin Mu, "Changmen Fu" and "A Laugh in the Sea" can be said to have spread in the capital now. You can hear people singing these two songs at any time on the streets and alleys, becoming the most popular songs in the Qin Dynasty in a century. From the common people to the officials and nobles, and even the royal family, they all like these two songs.

Qin Mu's name was also known to the high-ranking officials and even the emperor in the capital, so when the news that the King of Zhennan asked for an order to obtain an official position in Qin Mu quickly spread.

Many people were shocked. Everyone felt that it was too late and let King Zhennan take the lead. If this talented man joined King Zhennan's power, King Zhennan would be like a tiger, which also made many people in the court uneasy.

Like the eldest princess Zhao Zirou, it was the most uncomfortable. Originally, the eldest princess wanted to recruit Qin Mu as a staff member for her eldest princess's mansion, but there were many things to do. This matter was a little late. Unexpectedly, the King of Zhennan was the first to take the lead. The eldest princess was so angry that she smashed all her favorite porcelain.

Compared with others, Wei Zhongxian did not give up. In Wei Zhongxian's view, King Zhennan was just a prince and could not give Qin Mu a high official and generous salary. Just take this official position. King Zhennan had no right to appoint him. He had to submit a memorial to the court to approve him and the court would be appointed. If the court did not give King Zhennan's face and did not agree to give Qin Mushi's county magistrate's neglect, King Zhennan had no choice.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian decided to treat the virtuous and nobles, and sent his most trusted eunuch Li Yongzhen to Jinling to invite Qin Mu to go to Beijing, preparing to win over Qin Mu to work hard for him.

For this reason, Wei Zhongxian also specially asked Emperor Tianqi for the imperial edict and summoned Qin Mu to come to the capital to meet the saint, but he was afraid that Qin Mu would not give him face and would not come to the capital. If there was an imperial edict, Qin Mu would not want to come to the capital even if he was unwilling to do so.

As long as Qin Mu comes to the capital and moves into his Wei Mansion, then Qin Mu will be marked with people from the Dongchang, and other factions in the court will no longer accept him. If he wants to become an official, he will have to rely on himself.

Although doing this is a bit unauthorized, Wei Zhongxian, who is crazy about talents, doesn't care about these things. For Wei Zhongxian, as long as Qin Mu can follow him and do things for him, nothing else is important.

In order to show his sincerity, his confidant Li Yongzhen specially sent his confidant Li Yongzhen to Jinling to pick up Qin Mu to Beijing with hundreds of cavalry guards.

It was said that he was taking Qin Mu to the capital and escorting all the way, but in fact he was just escorting him to the capital in disguise. This was because Wei Zhongxian was afraid that Qin Mu would go to the capital, so he did not go to his Wei Mansion at the first time, but was pulled away by people from other forces in the court.

"What kind of virtue is there? I actually make Duke Wei worry about it." Qin Mu said flatteredly.

"By the way, I'm just happy and forget the important matters. Qin Mu received the imperial edict." Li Yongzhen took the imperial edict from a young eunuch beside him and said to Qin Mu.

"Qin Mu, a grass man, listened to the holy words!" Qin Mu said respectfully on his knees.

"Zhennan King Zhao Yingwu listened to the imperial edict!" Zhennan King also knelt down and said.

Qin Mu had no official position, so when receiving the imperial edict, he had to call himself a sage. When receiving the imperial edict, he had to kneel on the ground, lean on the ground, lower his head, and look at the ground, so that he could look respectful to the emperor. When Qin Mu was in college, he had already learned about this in history books. In fact, there was no need to read history books. Just watching historical TV series, how the actors in it received imperial edicts is the same as them.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: I have heard that the talented man from Li Yuan, Qin Mu, was smart and smart, and had a great talent in governing the country. He ordered Qin Mu to go to Beijing today. There must be no mistakes. I respect this." Li Yongzhen read with the imperial edict.

Qin Mu received the imperial edict for the first time, but it was a little new, and he forgot to receive the imperial edict for a while.

"Young Master Qin, Your Majesty Qin." Li Yongzhen shouted when he saw Qin Mu still kneeling stupidly.

"Ah~" Qin Mu came to his senses.

"It's time to receive the imperial edict." Li Yongzhen reminded.

"The people who have received the orders, thank the Lord for their kindness, and long live my emperor." Qin Mu knelt down and took the orders, held the orders above his head with both hands, and shouted on his knees.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, please get up quickly." Li Yongzhen said to Qin Mu.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, for your hard work. I am really sorry for coming from all the way to pass the imperial edict to me. This is a little bit of thought. Eunuch Li, please accept it."

Qin Mu took out a 5,000 tael silver note from his arms and stuffed it into Li Yongzhen's hand and said, Qin Mu remembered that after the eunuchs in TV in his previous life, those who received the eunuchs would stuff some silver for eunuchs to please the people around these emperors.

Of course, no one gave them silver to eunuchs who sent homes, families, and deaths.

"Young Master Qin, don't do this. If the factory knows that our family has collected your money, you won't be punished by the factory when you go back. You can take back the banknotes quickly."

Li Yongzhen quickly pushed Qin Mu's silver note back, just kidding, Qin Mu is the one the factoryman is interested in, and he is the one that the factoryman must win over. The factoryman is eager to give him money. If the factoryman knows that he has received Qin Mu's silver, although he will not be punished by the factoryman, he will definitely be scolded and will be looked down upon by the factoryman.

"Eunuch Li, this is my wish, you must accept it."

Qin Mu said, "The gift I gave was not worth taking back. Besides, this time I went to the capital with this Eunuch Li, and I have to rely on this Eunuch Li along the way."

Besides, Qin Mu didn’t know the situation in the capital at all, nor did he know how deep the water in the capital was. There are still many places in the capital, and he might have to ask this Eunuch Li, so it is crucial to have a good relationship with this Eunuch Li.

Qin Mu remembered reading a book before saying that eunuchs could not enjoy the joy of men and women because they did not have that guy, so nine out of the ten eunuchs like yellow and white things, that is, gold and silver, commonly known as silver.

In fact, Qin Mu still has people in the capital, that is, Qin Mu's father-in-law Mu, who had never met many times, was appointed as the Minister of Personnel.

But Qin Mu had no good impression of this father-in-law. Of course, Qin Mu had no good impression of Qin Mu. He had long ago thought about how to break up the engagement with Qin Mu and let his wife and brother-in-law marry his daughter.

So when Qin Mu went to the capital, he never thought of visiting him first, nor did he think of asking him to help him. Qin Mu didn't want to be a son-in-law with no social status.

"Young Master Qin, don't be polite to me. We have a chance in the future. If you can look at our family, take back the bill." Li Yongzhen said.

It’s not that Li Yongzhen doesn’t like silver, but that he can’t accept Qin Mu’s silver. Before coming to Jinling, the factory repeatedly told Qin Mu to treat Qin Mu, so that Qin Mu could not accept this silver note.

"Oh well."

Qin Mu had no choice but to take back the banknotes. Since Eunuch Li did not accept his own banknotes, after going back, he would ask Hongxiu to prepare some perfume for Eunuch Li. Anyway, this gift must be given.

There is a saying, "Eat others' short mouths and take others' hands short." As long as this Mr. Li receives his gift, he will help him or say a few good things to him. In the least, he will not ruin his own affairs behind his back.

"Young Master Qin, see when will you be able to go to the capital with us? The Emperor and Eunuch Wei are waiting for you." Li Yongzhen asked.

"Eunuch Li, isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? The Mu family in Rihara is still waiting for me to go home to get married."

Qin Mu said with some embarrassment that it was almost the New Year, and Qin Mu really didn't want to go to the capital at this time. It would be better to go to the capital after the New Year.

"Young Master Qin, this may not work. It's not that our family doesn't give you this face. It's really hard for the holy face. The emperor is anxious to see you. What's more urgent than the emperor's affairs."

Li Yongzhen said that when he came, the factory had instructed him that when he saw Qin Mu, he would bring him to Beijing as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams and be intercepted by others, so Li Yongzhen would not agree on this matter.
