Chapter 745: Too Concealed

He was the nephew of a concubine whom Pan Shuo had recommended to Emperor Yu Heng through his connections with Xie Xian. He was about the same age as Xie Xian, but his thoughts were very radical and he was also a smart and capable person. The rarest thing was that he didn’t seem out of place because of his aggressiveness. He was cynical and did things very harmoniously.

Emperor Yong Ping was very satisfied with Pan Zilu.

The Pan family, the Grand Empress Dowager’s main family, did not have much of a foundation. It could be said that they relied entirely on the royal family. Now, the entire Pan family’s attitude was one-sided with the Emperor. Although they could not be compared to the He family, they were still the Emperor’s aunt, but the Pan family…

It could be said that Emperor Yong Ping had been tickled.

It was not more in line with the He family’s wishes, but it was better than any other family.

Emperor Yong Ping didn’t object, so he directly sent the memorial to the Head of the Bureau of Central Affairs according to the Ministry of Personnel, issuing an edict to announce it to the world.

Pan Zilu had been promoted by Xie Xian. Emperor Yong Ping did not know what had happened, but Pan Shuo and Pan Zilu were clear in their hearts. When the imperial edict came down, they went to the Xie residence to thank him according to Pan Shuo’s wishes.

At this time, it had to be said that Pan Zilu was quick-witted and far-sighted in politics. He stopped Pan Shuo and personally wrote a letter of thanks for Pan Shuo to bring to the Xie residence. He did not show up.

The next day, he left Jiankang City under the imperial edict and never even saw Xie Xian’s face.

Pan Shuo was known for his thoughtlessness. No one would argue with him if he did something that he did not understand. He was a hothead. No matter how much the late Emperor feared the Xie Clan and was afraid that the Xie Clan would form cliques for personal gain, Pan Shuo would ignore that beard of his. If he was on good terms with Xie Xian, then he was on good terms with him. He kept saying ‘my best friend’ and that he was proud to be Xie Xian’s friend. Even Emperor Yong Ping could not do anything to him. He could not compare to him.

However, although Pan Shuo had a rough heart, he was careful. Pan Zilu’s actions had to be covered up in front of Xie Xian, but the Pan family appreciated Xie Xian’s kindness.

The Empress Dowager was an extremely respected person, but the Pan family had no roots and was despised by many aristocratic families.

In particular, his ancestor had once been a coachman for the Wang family, which made those aristocratic families talk about it a lot. Even if Emperor Epsilon wanted to promote his mother, they were just some dirty officials who did not know the essentials. They had always been suppressed and looked down on by the aristocratic families.

Xie Xian was different. He was his best friend!

He couldn’t disappoint his good friend. The gift he gave was definitely heavy. He was just short of bringing his family’s very tall White Jade Guanyin over to the Xie family. That was because the Xu family had spent a lot of effort to stop him. Pan Zilu did not dare to walk on the road. It was obvious that he did not want to form an alliance with the Xie family at least on the surface. Pan Zilu had just left, and now he was sending such a heavy gift to the Xie family.

That was given to him by the previous emperor. He had never been so sincere even when he worshipped his ancestors.

Xu shi didn’t believe it when she said it was for her nephew Pan Zilu, but for Xie Xian, she believed 70 – 80% of it.

Having such a friend, Xie Xian was also rather speechless.

He directly said,

“If my Xie family didn’t have it, why would I care about your thing? Keep it well.”

He held back and didn’ t say it clearly. That thing was taken out of the treasury by the Xie family and given to the founding emperor. He didn’t expect that it would be passed down from generation to generation and finally be rewarded to the Pan family.

If Pan Shuo was really carried here, it would be a joke.

This matter was over.

There were some things that Pan Shuo couldn’t understand, but he wasn’t a fool. He would stop at the end.

“I still have a nephew…”

“Fine, do you really think I’m addicted to buying and selling official positions?”Xie Xian cut him off. “Zilu is a real talent, that’s why I recommended him. In the past few years in Shangshu Province, whether it’s his ability or his position in the Ministry of Officials, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. It’s a systematic assessment.”

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with saying that.

However, he really wanted to put this talent to good use. Wouldn’t it be better if this talent could be used by him?

The He family had always been targeting Empress Xiao, and they had the Xie family behind them.

Whether it was for Emperor Yong Ping, Empress Xiao, or himself, there was no need for them to rise.

If he could, he would naturally hit the ground.

However, Pan Shuo didn’t care about this.

“That nephew of mine is not bad either. He’s just a little old, two years older than me. He’s also unlucky. When he was just twenty, his father died. He had only been in mourning for half a year. I was thinking of finding him a job when my mother died again.”Pan Shuo didn’t know what to say anymore.

“You don’t know, but many of Zilu’s skills were taught to him by Pan Bai. Otherwise, who could nurture a bastard son who was not favored or valued?”

“Didn’t you read the letter? Zilu even recommended him to you. He was really talented, but… You’re making me feel embarrassed. I’m using your method again. But you also know that there’s no need to talk to the emperor, he doesn’t know anything…”

Xie Xian smiled.

“I think it’s better for you to talk to the emperor about this. If he was really talented, the emperor would use him.”

The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs had just recommended Pan Zilu and pushed the Pan family up. Would Emperor Yong Ping not suspect that he was secretly helping the Pan family? It was better to openly go through Emperor Yong Ping’s back door and let him use his talent.

Pan Shuo was skeptical.”

“Did you push me?”

Xie Xian felt that the only person in this world who could make him break his cultivation was Xiao Baoxin and this person in front of him.

“I’m just showing you the way.”

“I believe you, of course I believe you. Who are you, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, a man of his word?”

Xie Xian picked up his teacup and wanted to send the guests off again.

“Don’t, don’t do this with me again. What do you mean by serving tea and sending guests off? If you want to chase me away, just do it. Don’t do this. It looks so disgusting.”Pan Shuo retorted. “Xuanhui, you’re good at everything, but sometimes you’re too reserved.”

If he wasn’t reserved, could it be that it was really satisfying to kick him out on the spot?

If he made people unable to get off the stage, he would be a real man with iron bones?

Xie Xian was too lazy to argue.”Stay in my residence for dinner tonight. We haven’t gathered for a long time.””

“Of course, we’re both busy.” She said it proudly. She was now a dignified secretary supervisor and also someone who had serious matters to do.

Not to mention that everyone in the Pan family treated him with importance and held him in high regard, even in the imperial court.

“This is all thanks to you. You cleaned up the aristocratic families so that people like us had the chance to show up. Otherwise, heroes would be useless.”

He was already comparing himself to a hero, and his words were getting more and more incoherent.

When the two of them ate together, Pan Shuo tried to hold it in, but he couldn’t hold it in anymore.

It’s not that I’m badmouthing people behind their backs, Xuanhui, you have to be careful of Yang Shao. I think he might have a grudge against you.”
