Chapter 1874 Conquer
As a deputy minister of the Ministry of War, he certainly knew about the recent order from the Crown Prince, which ordered troops to be dispatched to Kucha and Yanqi in Western Turkic.
They were the ones who issued the military transfer orders, and were responsible for preparing food and fodder, and conscripting corvée labor.
However, with his political awareness at that time, he really didn't think about this, mainly because his official position was too low and he was only responsible for work.
Now that Prince Ji had reminded him of this, he suddenly realized what was happening.
Prince Ji is right, this is indeed a signal that the crown prince will ascend the throne.
But if the prince was thinking about him, he had no connection with the prince, so how could he possibly catch the prince's eye?
At this moment, his hope was shattered by Li Shen, and his eyes showed confusion.
Does he really have to keep going on and wait for that slim chance?
"Mr. Pei, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
At this time, Wang Xuance, who had been silent behind Li Shen, spoke.
"Master Wang, please speak frankly. I am all ears." Pei Mingli saluted quickly. The other party was a fourth-rank master, two ranks higher than him.
Wang Xuance said sincerely:
"Mr. Pei, you must have heard of Mr. Wang's experience. Mr. Wang was promoted directly from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a fifth-rank imperial doctor.
I originally thought that I had a bright future and a smooth career.
But in the end it was all in vain. Wang worked in the Honglu Temple for two years, but no one paid attention to him.
According to colleagues, he had been working as a doctor in the Honglu Temple for more than five years.
Now, ten years have passed, and Wang's former colleague has retired and returned home, but until the day of his retirement, he was still a fifth-rank imperial doctor.
And I am grateful to Lord Ji Wang for not abandoning me and recruiting me into Ji Wang’s palace. Now I am a fourth-rank chief secretary. Otherwise, I might still be working as a court official in the Honglu Temple.
Moreover, Your Majesty once wanted me to serve as an official in the court, but I declined in order to repay His Majesty Prince Ji for his kindness.
Now, if Wang is willing, he can enter the three provinces and six ministries and take up a fourth-rank official position at any time.
If Pei Yuanwailang enters Prince Ji's palace, as long as he achieves something, it will not be difficult for him to catch the eyes of His Majesty and the Crown Prince.
The chances will be greater then.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji is kind and has told us many times that if we want to serve as officials in the court, His Royal Highness Prince Ji will personally recommend us.
It's just that we all don't want to do it. Sima Xue Rengui even gave up the position of general.
Therefore, I think that if Pei Yuanwailang wants to make a difference, joining the Prince Ji’s Palace is the best choice.”
Presenting facts and reasoning, Wang Xuance used his own experience to advise Pei Mingli, telling Pei Mingli that you may be in the sixth rank for the rest of your life.
Because I have experience.
After listening to Wang Xuance's warning, Pei Mingli fell into an even more dilemma. Wang Xuance's experience had long been circulated in the officialdom.
How many people envied Wang Xuance's opportunity. He was actually favored by King Ji. Now he has both power and money.
Many people wanted to follow Wang Xuance's example and join Prince Ji, but they couldn't even enter the gate of Prince Ji's mansion.
And the colleagues in the Honglu Temple who had made fun of Wang Xuance at the beginning became even more jealous of him.
At this time, Pei Mingli was confused about his future and didn't know where to go. After hearing what Wang Xuance said, he felt that it was still a chance for him to go to Prince Ji's Mansion.
And it sounds like there's a better chance than here.
Li Shen was secretly happy when he saw Pei Mingli's confused look. It's so easy to PUA you. I even PUA the emperor, let alone you?
The smarter the person, the easier it is to PUA them. But if you meet a stubborn person, it will be difficult.
"Pei Mingli, I have told you so much because I hope you can understand that I really hope you can join my Ji Palace to help me.
Moreover, I have given you a lot. After you enter the mansion, I can raise your rank from the sixth rank to the fifth rank.
Moreover, his salary is more than ten times that of your Yuanwailang.
If one day you have the opportunity to make further progress, I promise that I will never hinder or delay your future.
You can leave anytime, how about this?"
Li Shen's performance was very sincere. He believed that after the endless humiliation and suppression just now, Pei Mingli would make the right choice.
When people are confused and see a way out, smart people will choose this path.
Sure enough, when Pei Mingli heard Li Shen's words, there was some light in his eyes, and he was also thinking about what King Ji said in his heart.
After a long while, Pei Mingli stood up and bowed to Li Shen.
“Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Ji, for your kindness. I am grateful that Your Highness, Prince Ji, has not abandoned me and has treated me with courtesy.
If I refuse again, I will be ungrateful.
From now on, I will follow His Royal Highness Prince Ji, be loyal to His Royal Highness Prince Ji, follow His Royal Highness's lead, serve His Royal Highness at all times, and help him solve his problems.
I was ignorant before, and I hope Your Highness Prince Ji will forgive me."
"Hahahaha, good, very good, please stand up quickly and politely. What happened before was excusable. People are not plants or trees. The king will not blame you.
I was a little anxious just now, I hope you don't have any grudges in your heart, I just value your talent."
Seeing Pei Mingli submit to him, Li Shen laughed happily and personally stepped forward to help Pei Mingli up.
"Mr. Pei, from now on you and I will be colleagues. The prince is eager to recruit talented people and does not want to lose such a talent as Mr. Pei.
Mr. Pei, please don't mind it. My prince has always been like this. Mr. Pei will naturally know it after a while."
Wang Xuance echoed from the side, saying that now that the matter had been accomplished, it was natural to start eliminating the previous negative influences.
Prince Ji just wanted to kill people and wipe out the entire family, which must have scared people to death.
As the Chief Secretary, Pei Mingli will be his subordinate in the future, so of course he has to appease him first.
"Your Highness Prince Wang is too kind. How dare I harbor any grudge against you? Your Highness Prince Ji treats people with sincerity and is courteous to me.
I only feel grateful in my heart and will never have any concerns.
In the future, when you enter Prince Ji's mansion, you will have to rely on the care of Prince Wang." Pei Mingli bowed and explained.
After I enter Prince Ji’s Mansion, I will be his subordinate, so it is necessary to establish good relationships with him.
He knew that there was no master in the Prince Ji's Mansion, the highest-ranking official was the Chief Clerk, and he might be the second-in-command of the Prince Ji's Mansion in the future.
"Okay, you don't have to be so polite. You two will be my right-hand men from now on. Prince Ji's Mansion will depend on you.
Mingli, you will never regret following me. In the future you will see a world you have never seen before.
There will be a place for you in the history books, and your life will be more exciting than it is now.
You must remember that a better tomorrow is waiting for us, and every day will be colorful."
After the defeat, confidence needed to be rebuilt, so Li Shen began to boost Pei Mingli's morale.
As the novel says, Pall later re-established Pei Mingli's outlook on life and values.
Li Shen is still going further and further on the path of deceiving people.
