Wei Xiang looked up and found that the person who was talking was Lou Ying.

Wei Xiang found that he had no surprises at all.

Wei Xiang bowed to Lou Ying and said, "I wonder what doctor Lou has to do with his teachings?"

After all, this is a matter of deliberation. Deliberation is different from being verbal on the Internet. You have to put forward an argument to prove your argument.

Lou Ying snorted and said, "What you call hiding your strength and keeping a low profile is actually to ask the Zhao family to be like the Xun family and Xian family in the past few years, just like the ones who are traveling under someone else's door, right?"

Wei Xiang said: "With Zhao's strength, it would not be so strong."

Lou Ying slapped the table and said, "That's the same way! The Zhao family has been in power for 20 years. Now, they only have to be the second Lin father of the Central Bank of China once the political struggle fails? It's a joke!"

Wei Xiang explained patiently: "This is the general situation, I have to do it for Doctor Lou."

Lou Ying sneered: "No matter what the general trend, the Zhao family must not be weak. Now all the nobles and officials are eyeing our Zhao family. If the Zhao family continues to be so weak, they will be completely eaten clean sooner or later. The Zhao family must be strong, whether in the past, present or future!"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have an intensified debate, Zhao Shuo knocked on the table in time and said, "Okay, Uncle Ji and Wei Xiang, don't say anything more."

Lou Ying snorted heavily, stood up, and left straight away.

Looking at Lou Ying's departure back, Zhao Shuo and Yuan Tong's faces were not very good.

Yuan Tong said coldly: "This is how Brother Ji looks like. I was able to suppress him before. Now Brother Ji has gone, so he is lawless."

Zhao Shuo sighed and said to Han Jue: "What do you think of Uncle Jue?"

Han Jue was silent for a while and said, "When Zhao Meng returned to Zhao Meng, what Wei Prime Minister said may not be unreasonable, but Zhao is a big family after all, so it is okay to give in, but it is still not possible to be inferior to others."

Zhao Shuo glanced at Yuan Tong and found that Yuan Tong was not speaking, so he turned his gaze on Wei Xiang again.

Wei Xiang was very calm.

As a time traveler, Wei Xiang, who already knows the ending of Lou Ying, doesn't care about Lou Ying's words, and his several contacts in reality deepened this judgment.

Zhao Shuo said slowly: "Previous Secretary Wei, you did a good job this time. I didn't listen to your advice, it was my fault."

As he said that, Zhao Shuo stood up and apologized to Wei Xiang.

Wei Xiang was shocked and quickly returned the gift.

Zhao Shuo breathed lightly and said, "I heard that you are going to marry Shibo's daughter today?"

Wei Xiang said: "This is indeed the case."

Zhao Shuo thought for a moment, took off a green jade pendant from the belt hook around his waist, and said, "This cloud pattern pendant is an adult gift from my father to me back then, and I will give it to you now."

Wei Xiang was slightly surprised and then said, "Thank you, Lord."

Wei Xiang took the jade pendant from Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo said: "Since you said you want to keep a low profile, it is necessary to make good friends with all the ministers. You are a retainer of the Zhao family and have married Shibo, so you have to contribute between Zhao family and Shifu."

Wei Xiang replied: "This is what my ministers deserve."

Zhao Shuo and Yuan Tong looked at each other, then turned their eyes back to Wei Xiang and said slowly: "From today, I will order you to be my concubine's son and be promoted to the title of top sergeant."

Although he was prepared for a long time, Wei Xiang still couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face showed joy.

The son of the Zhongsha is the commander of the young concubines. If the young concubine is the secretary, then the son of the Zhongsha is the secretary-general.

Although it is only Zhao Shuo's secretary-general rather than Zhao's secretary-general, this is still a very important position that all Zhao's retainers long for.

Starting today, Wei Xiang has officially entered the Zhao family's think tank.

Although the son of Nakashu still cannot make decisions on various major matters of the Zhao family, he is already qualified to attend the meeting and make suggestions, and will not be kicked out of the meeting hall again.

Sergeant, the promotion of this title is even simpler and more crude.

In the Zhou Dynasty, scholars were the lowest aristocrats, while supreme scholars were the highest aristocrats in the scholar class.

When you arrive at the sergeant, you are only one step away from the "doctor" of the higher-level title.

A doctor can have a fief, collect taxes on the people in the fief, and collect troops from the fiefdoms during wars and follow the king to fight, becoming a truly ruling class.

This is a transformation from the ruling class to the ruling class. Now Wei Xiang is standing in front of this pass.

Even though he is not a ruling class now, Wei Xiang, as a sergeant, has doubled his salary and treatment than when he was a sergeant before, which is equivalent to a white-collar worker turning into a gold-collar worker.

This kind of promotion will be more obvious during wars. As a sergeant, Wei Prime Minister was the "Two Simas" to command twenty-five soldiers, and after being promoted to the sergeant, Wei Prime Minister was able to serve as the "Shandmaster" to command one hundred soldiers, which was four times the previous one.

This is the system of the Zhou Dynasty. Every level of upward promotion will give you enough benefits and inspire you to continue to strive to climb in this system.

Wei Xiang thinks this system is very good.

Wei Prime Minister gave a deep tribute to Zhao Shuo: "My, thank you Lord! I am favored by Lord, and I will definitely be loyal to Zhao in the future. Even if I go through fire and water, I will die!"

Zhao Shuo finally smiled on his face, and he stood up and bowed to Wei Xiang: "I'm working hard, Wei Xiang."

Looking at Wei Xiang's back as he left happily, Ping Kuo, who had been silent, finally snorted and said, "Zhao Meng, is it really worth it to give all this to Wei Xiang?"

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "Not mentioning the accurate prediction of the situation in Wei before, it is worth it that he is about to marry the daughter of the Scholar Society."

Yuan Tong also said lightly: "But just a mere son of the Central Concubine and the rank of the senior sage. If Wei Qisheng really can make the Scholars stand on our Zhao family's side, what if our Zhao family will protect him as a doctor in the future?"

Ping Kuo couldn't help but feel silent, and after a while, he said: "Does our Zhao family really want to keep a low profile as Wei Xiang said, and start to keep a low profile and be the second son of Xun family?"

Zhao Shuo and Yuan Tong looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Zhao Shuo coughed and said, "Uncle Kuo, Wei Xiang's words are indeed correct, but Uncle Ji said is correct. Zhao - it is impossible for him to shrink his head immediately after a failure."

Ping Kuo was obviously a little confused: "That Zhao Meng means..."

Yuan Tong sighed and said, "Zhao Meng's meaning is very simple. The Zhao family is no longer the original Zhao family, but the Zhao family... is the Zhao family after all! The Zhao family has not yet reached the point of completely changing the entire family policy by just a son of the Central Concubine. Do you understand?"

Ping Kuo was silent for a long time and finally nodded slowly.

"Understood."

There was a little unwillingness in the words.

Outside the meeting hall, the setting sun was setting, and a touch of afterglow sprinkled, adding a bit of blood to the lower palace, making this complex that has stood here for nearly half a century more desolate and bleak.
