Chapter 351 Choice
When Bai Yuan walked out of the Ministry of Personnel, the moon was already dim and the stars were sparse.

That old Minister Guo is really talkative.

It was from the old minister that Bai Yuan understood why Yue Xiaobai was so familiar with the Ministry of Personnel.

Because Minister Guo is actually Yue Xiaobai's senior brother.

However, after Guo Yingru gave up martial arts and turned to literature, he left the Xiyue School, but the relationship between the two sides has always been good.

Every time Yue Xiaobai came to Kyoto, he stayed at the Guo Mansion.

In addition to Yue Xiaobai, all the people who came down from the mountain of Xiyue Sect in the past hundred years also lived in Guo Mansion.

The relationship between the two sides is very good, and this old Minister Guo would go out of the city to the Xiyue Sect when he has nothing to do.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Bai Yuan was able to obtain that large house with eight entrances.

The Minister Chu, who was away in Beijing for inspection, handed over all matters concerning Bai Yuan to Guo Yingru. The old Minister Guo then had free rein to give Bai Yuan the highest salary.

Bai Yuan stepped onto the floor of Xuanwu Avenue.

Although the floor of Xuanwu Avenue was not paved with golden bricks as Fang E had hoped, each brick looked ordinary but actually held a lot of mystery.

It is said that all of them are basalt transported from southern Xinjiang.

It is for this reason that this street is called Xuanwu Avenue.

Each piece of basalt is much more expensive than gold.

From this perspective, the old man surnamed Zhou did not actually lie.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

The people of Lingzhou are still worrying about food, while the capital city has already paved its roads with gold bricks. It is really difficult to judge the disparity in life.

However, he did not feel any hatred towards the rich, after all, he was now one of the rich people.

Just as he was lost in thought, a vigorous voice rang out.

"What are you thinking?"

Bai Yuan was awakened from his thoughts and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw an old man with a straight waist and white beard standing not far away, facing him from a distance.

Although Bai Yuan was in deep thought just now, how could a sensory martial artist not be able to sense the existence around him, unless the old man's realm was much higher than his.

Absolute master!
Bai Yuan suddenly bent his waist to ninety degrees.

"I've met General Xu."

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, a smile finally appeared on the old man's stiff and tense face.

"Why did that idiot Dong Wanjun accept a cunning disciple like you?"

Bai Yuan stood up and smiled as brightly as a teenager.

How could he not be brilliant? The old man in front of him was his important backer whom he had never met before, the former General Zhenbei, Xu Dingchun!
Bai Yuan was talking about General Xu just now, not Minister Xu.

This is quite interesting.

Although Xu Dingchun's current position as the Minister of War is also noble, and his rank has even been promoted half a level, his actual power has actually been greatly weakened.

If Xu Dingchun is called Xu Shangshu, it would be the same as congratulating someone on his promotion after being demoted.

Not to mention the friendship between Bai Yuan and Xu Dingchun, which was earned by old man Dong when he was in the Zhenbei Army. In terms of friendship, it is naturally more appropriate to call him General Xu.

Xu Dingchun waved his hand and said, "Don't call me General anymore."

"Yes, Master."

Xu Dingchun smiled dumbly: "You kid."

When Bai Yuan saw that Xu Dingchun stopped talking, he knew that his master was safe.

When Old Man Dong was in Huanglong Mansion, he was famous for having many martial arts and many masters. He had worshipped no less than a hundred masters, so he didn't care about the master-disciple relationship between Bai Yuan and Zhou Siming.

Although Xu Dingchun and Old Man Dong were only in a superior-subordinate relationship, Old Man Dong was able to break through his perception because of Xu Dingchun's guidance.

Although the two were not master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple in reality.

It is reasonable for me to worship a master on behalf of my master, right? Judging from Xu Dingchun's attitude, he may have thought of accepting Dong Wanjun as his apprentice.

Xu Dingchun: "This Xuanwu Avenue is suitable for walking. Why don't you walk with me?"

"Yes, Master."

When Xu Dingchun heard the word "Master", he felt particularly comfortable and his crow's feet became much less.

Xu Dingchun walked in front with his hands behind his back, and Bai Yuan deliberately lagged behind by half a body length.

Although he has been away from the military for many years, Xu Dingchun's military qualities have not changed at all, and he walks with great vigor and power.

"His Majesty will summon you tomorrow. Have you made up your mind?"

Xu Dingchun speaks just like he walks, he always comes straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

Bai Yuan groaned.

Xu Dingchun knew that he would go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, which was not surprising at all.

If Xu Dingchun was kept in the dark about such an important matter, he would probably even lose his position as the Minister of War.

"Disciple, I want to enter the Censorate."

"."

Xu Dingchun's steps suddenly stopped.

He was a little pissed off and laughed.

The disciple of my own lineage is actually going to the Censorate.

The reason why he asked this question was, of course, because Bai Yuan’s meeting with His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow would truly determine Bai Yuan’s future official position in the capital.

This step is very important and is directly related to Bai Yuan’s future.

That's why Xu Dingchun wanted to know Bai Yuan's idea in advance and then use his own power to push it forward.

But he didn't expect that Bai Yuan actually wanted to go to the Censorate.

It’s not that the Censorate is so bad, but once you enter the Censorate, it’s like being a lone minister. The highest you can do is to be the Left or Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

Although he was also a second-rank official, he was recognized by all court officials as the most useless second-rank official.

Although everyone was afraid of his power because he held supervisory power, it was almost impossible for him to go further and become one of the Three Dukes, and it was even difficult for him to support his own family.

Do you really think that being an official is all about serving the country and the people?
Therefore, those censors in the Censorate usually strive to be loyal ministers when they are young, and then become local officials when the time is right, but most of them do not go far.

For hundreds of years, the only outlier was Du Qinghui.

The thing that officials fear most is being disliked.

Xu Dingchun looked at his disciple and asked, "Why?"

Although Bai Yuan had a bad reputation due to the previous massacre of the whole family, after all, he and Yan Shaoan were standing behind him, and he was also a genius on the Hidden Dragon List, so it was not impossible for him to become a Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Bai Yuan: "Master, as long as your fist is strong enough, it's all the same."

Xu Dingchun narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Bai Yuan for a long time, and finally waved his hand: "It's up to you, it saves me a favor."

If Bai Yuan wanted to get an important position in Kyoto, he might have to use the connections of his old friends.

But have you ever seen someone being demoted in the Censorate still asking for favors?

He continued to stride forward, but with a bigger smile on his face.

This disciple inherited his temper.

When the Northern Territory was fighting against the Demon Sect, he knew that building the Great Wall to resist the Demon Sect would definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor, but he did it anyway.

Even though he was later recalled to Kyoto by Thirteen Golden Orders to serve as an idle official, he still did not regret it.

Just as Bai Yuan said.

As long as he can break through to the spiritual level, the Minister of War can also be ranked among the Three Dukes.
