Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

Next, Zhu Gaoxu chatted with a group of officials about their daily life.

Most of the people were talking around Zhu Gaoxu.

Finally, Zhu Gaoxu saw that everyone had no intention of leaving, so he simply asked people to prepare a dinner and started eating and drinking with all the ministers.

During the banquet, ministers kept toasting to Zhu Gaoxu. At first, Zhu Gaoxu refused because he was too young to drink.

But more and more ministers were toasting, and in the end Zhu Gaoxu could only replace wine with tea and drink with everyone.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Gaoxu said seemingly unintentionally: "The emperor is busy with affairs in Kyoto, and many ministers in the court are very busy trying to relieve the emperor's worries."

After speaking, Zhu Gaoxu picked up a piece of duck meat and put it into his mouth.

Zhu Gaoxu said this in a low voice, but everyone at the table listened thoroughly.

He stopped for a moment, thinking about the meaning of Zhu Gaoxu's words.

They are all old fools. It would be too naive to really think that Zhu Gaoxu said this unintentionally.

And such a naive person might not even be able to get in through this door, let alone sit at this table and eat.

The people at other tables who were eating and drinking suddenly became quiet when they saw the main table suddenly became silent.

This is the way to be an official.

They don't know what's going on up there, but it doesn't matter, as long as someone knows.

They just need to watch what those who know do it and follow suit.

In general, this situation is actually the safest.

What they fear most is that those who know pretend not to know and have no reaction at all.

That would spoil things, and it means that you should not know about this matter. Usually, in this case, you will be operated on.

For a moment, the originally lively banquet suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's movements are very attentive.

The eyes of all the officials around were looking at the main table with vague eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed not to notice all these changes and continued to eat the food on the table.

Several senior officials at the main table also reacted now.

You probably guessed what Zhu Gaoxu meant.

It's very simple. No matter how big the private message is, you still have to use Lao Zhu's name on the surface.

Translated, what Zhu Gaoxu meant was probably asking these people if they had any plans to become officials in the capital.

These words made everyone's eyes light up.

Is it even necessary to think about it? In reality, you have to be a Beijing official.

There is no reason not to go to Beijing.

As for what price it would cost to go to the capital, they thought about it for a while and then looked at each other, and they probably had the answer in their hearts.

I heard that Zhu Di was not having a good time in the capital, and many civil servants were running against him.

If there weren't some military commanders in the court speaking to him, he might have been driven back to his fiefdom now.

And Zhu Gaoxu had told them to come to Beijing, so naturally he wanted to share Zhu Di's pressure.

Of course, they had already made this realization since they decided to join Zhu Di's faction.

Especially those with high grades like them have already thought of this step.

After all, when it comes to entering the capital, those who can really talk are the only ones who can barely speak a few words if they are above the third rank.

After all, there are many officials in the capital, first, second and third grade officials.

But even so, they still hope to enter Beijing.

Without him, Jingguan'er would be more than half a level up.

Even some officials of the fourth and fifth grades must be polite and dare not offend them when they see them.

Now that they have the opportunity to go to Beijing, they naturally can't miss it.

After thinking about it, several people looked at each other and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "What the prince said is that affairs in the capital are busy, but I, who are far away in Kyoto, cannot share your worries for your majesty."

While talking, several people even squeezed out a few symbolic tears.

When the ministers at the other tables heard this and saw the drama going on at the main table, they immediately understood what was going on.

Everyone was excited in their hearts.

They will definitely have nothing to worry about when they go to the capital.

Even if they were allowed to go, they wouldn't be able to help.

And with their current level, they don't dare to go to the capital.

A fifth- or sixth-rank local official going to be a capital official?

If you are not pure, you are just cannon fodder. You have to carry your tail between your legs wherever you go, and if you do anything wrong, your head will fall off.

When there is a conflict between the two sides, the first person to lose is an insignificant pawn like them.

There is no way to stay in a comfortable place.

Although he is only in the fourth and fifth grades, he is at least free and at ease, and no one can control him.

In this one-third of an acre of land, you are the biggest, and you don’t need to look at other people’s faces.

And the reason why they were happy and excited was very simple.

With all the adults above their heads gone, wouldn't they have a chance in the vacant positions?

They are all officials from the same faction, and Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu are also helping out.

If people have the ability to transfer local officials to the capital, they will naturally have the ability to promote them.

By then, the old boss will be an official of the same faction.

Just say a few nice words casually, but you can't stumble yourself anyway.

And the stall he takes over won't be too bad. Anyway, in a word, the officials of this group are easy to talk to.

Thinking like this, everyone's breathing inevitably becomes faster.

No one thought that the opportunity for promotion would come so quickly.
