The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang Kang shook his head.

Tao Ran acted like I knew you were like this,

He paused and said again: "Since you can let Master Shangshu deliver it in person, it must have something to do with it. How did you find such an official?"

Wang Kang asked curiously: "The head and guest of the Ministry of Rites, the doctor, is also a fifth-rank official and in charge of the first department. You can't be so ridiculous as you said?"

"Young man, you are still too young!"

Tao Ran patted Wang Kang's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Do you know how many times have the host and guest masters changed in the past three years?"

"Sixteen!"

"Your last job was a month ago, do you know how he quit?"

Before Wang Kang could speak, he continued, "It's because of an injury, a broken leg!"

"Do you know how it broke?"

"I broke it myself!"

"You understand, I would rather self-mutilate than be an official, think about how terrible it is!"

"Is it because of the envoys of the Yue Kingdom?"

Wang Kang asked curiously.

"An envoy? If it's an envoy, then that's fine. They're a bunch of uncles," Tao Ran pouted and said, "It's not easy to be an official, so you still need to find connections?"

"What a fool!"

Listening to the words of the ceremonial officer, Wang Kang also knew what he was thinking. This is understandable. He is such an official at such a young age.

It's normal for those who don't understand to have this idea,

What he was more interested in was how bad these envoys from the Yue Kingdom were.

Thinking of this, Wang Kang said directly: "From now on, the situation of host and guest will change."

"What do you mean?"

"Because I'm about to take office!"

"You?" Tao Ran curled his lips, disdainful in his heart, he is indeed young, and those who don't know him are not intimidated!

You have to suffer!

However, he did not say these words, after all, Lord Shangshu personally sent them...

While the two were talking, they came to a small courtyard with a wooden sign pasted on the door.

This is the office of the host and customer department.

The host and guest department has a chief official doctor,

There are two Yuanwailang and two principals. There are two managers in the department of rewards, two managers in the four translation department, one manager in the bud tea department, and one manager in the fire room, etc., to handle various affairs.

"Master Tao?"

After entering the courtyard, an official in his early thirties asked,

"Go and call the host and guest department, your superior is here," Tao Ran ordered.

"Shangguan?" The official looked at Wang Kang subconsciously, and was stunned for a moment. Could it be that this is the newly-appointed chief guest officer?

They have been notified long ago, and it stands to reason that they should have arrived five days ago.

But I haven't seen it in the past few days, and I guess in my heart that I will definitely not come again. Now the host and guest department is the place for distribution, and only people who have no one behind them and have nothing to do with them will come here.

But this one is too young, maybe in his early twenties...

Tao Ran scolded, "What are you still doing in a daze, go and call someone!"

"Yes, yes," the man woke up,

"What is it? Shout out,"

At this moment, a deep voice came from the side, and a person walked out,

Seeing this person, Wang Kang's eyes froze. He was the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Shangzheng!

When he was getting married, he went to Xinfeng in person to make trouble in the banquet hall...

Didn't expect to be here,

The Ministry of Rites has one minister, two ministers on the left and right, who are in charge of the four divisions, who are his direct superiors.

Then he must be here to wait for him, Wang Kang thought about it in an instant.

"Lord Cao, you are here too,"

Tao Ran was busy saluting, and he even gave Wang Kang a hand as he spoke.

"This is Cao Shilang, Mr. Cao,"

Wang Kang didn't move at all, he couldn't do anything about the relationship, and he didn't bother to make false claims.

"Who are you? Why are you wearing a scarlet suit?"

Cao Shangzheng asked with a grim expression as if he didn't know Wang Kang.

Seeing this, Tao Ran who was at the side said in his heart, he was really stunned, and he didn't know how to salute when he saw the Shangguan, so Master Cao is going to make things difficult for him...

But he didn't know that there was another reason for this.

"Host and guest doctor, Wang Kang!"

Wang Kang spoke directly,

"Master and Guest Secretary, do you have documents from the Ministry of Officials to prove it?" Cao Shang asked with no expression on his face.

"No,"

Normal official appointments will be filed with the Ministry of Officials and issued documents, which is equivalent to a certificate.

However, Wang Kang's situation is quite special. He was personally mentioned by Emperor Zhao and issued an imperial edict.

But he can't, take the imperial decree when he takes office, the formal procedures can only be made up later.
