Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 438

I just encountered something about Masato Hayasaka, so we have to postpone our discussion and handling of it for a while.

Now that I've finished speaking with my brothers, it's time for us to go to the palace to work.

"Big brother, second brother, please wait a moment..." Changhe said hesitantly.

Changlong straightened his face: "What's wrong, Changhe?"

Changhe hesitated for a second or two before finally speaking his mind.

"I would like to transfer to another government office."

"In this regard... you may only be able to transfer to the Outer Guard Office where I previously served."

Changlong pondered for a moment, then spoke frankly.

Fujiwara Daichi asked in confusion, "Is the only option to transfer to the Outer Guard Office?"

Changlong patiently explained to his elder brother.

"Because the positions are hereditary within the family, the number is limited."

"Furthermore, the officials in the government office are all connected to each other, so it's not something you can just move at will."

“For example, the Outer Guard Office where I previously worked had a certain number of Fujiwara clan members.”

"And the connections I left behind after leaving office can still be helpful to Changhe's transfer to another post to some extent..."

One's official position cannot be changed at will.

It's not just about having rules; it's also about having connections.

Otherwise, they are very likely to suffer similar "workplace bullying" incidents.

It is extremely rare for someone like Kyosuke Kosaka to be suddenly appointed as a prosecutor.

After gradually developing their own intelligence network.

Masahiro realized that Kousaka Kyosuke's sudden appointment was a decision made jointly by the former Regent Michikane and the current Regent.

Both were court nobles, and the Kenbi-i-shi-tei was originally the official residence of the Fujiwara clan.

Therefore, the decisions made are more effective than anything else.

At least if it were Masahiro himself serving as the deputy director of the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment, he would not dare to disobey.

They only dared to obediently comply.

"Shoka, what are you thinking?" Fujiwara Daichi asked Shoka after listening to his younger brother's explanation.

I now understand the difficulties and troubles of the transfer.

He really wanted to know what his youngest brother was thinking.

Changhe's face was bitter.

"What else can I think? I can't keep guarding the gate forever, or I'll always just be a second lieutenant."

"I don't even know if my son will be able to inherit my position..."

Changhe is younger than his two older brothers, and his son is only thirteen years old.

When the son gets older, he should "take over the family business".

But he had nothing.

After all, official positions are only hereditary to a certain extent, but not necessarily absolutely.

Besides clearly explaining the situation of granting official positions to five or more nobles through hereditary privilege, such as the "Law on Elderly Care and the Law on Official Positions".

Officials below the fifth rank had absolutely no right to receive hereditary privileges.

Therefore, it requires preparation on one's own and for the son to strive for it.

If one's son is incompetent and one's connections are weak, then becoming a fallen nobleman is inevitable.

Changhe doesn't want that!

Even though he knew his son would have relatives to look after him, he still wanted to work hard on his own!

"I'm fairly confident that you'll be transferred to the Outer Guard Office, but the timing of the Shinomiya family's arrival is just too coincidental."

Changlong was very depressed.

To be honest, he regarded the Shinomiya family as dog shit.

That's how it is right now, at least for the moment.

In the modern world, the Fujiwara family and the Shinomiya Foundation originally had a cooperative relationship.

Even Changlong's appointment as provincial minister was supported by the Four Palaces Consortium.

However, this does not mean that Masahiro is willing to get involved with the Shinomiya family because of this matter.

At least.

When Minamoto no Yorihei failed to properly handle this widely publicized matter.

He had no intention of paying any attention to the Shinomiya family.

"Yes, I didn't expect this to happen either," Changhe said helplessly.

He was also well aware that his second brother was quite confident in helping him transfer to the Outer Guard Commandery.

However, after discovering that Shinomiya Yanan was an assistant officer parachuted into the Outer Guard Office, he temporarily abandoned the idea.

I'm bringing this up now in the hope that my second brother can help me rekindle our old relationship.

We will take action once the future situation becomes clearer.

"Actually, the problem isn't that serious yet. If things go smoothly with Mr. Yan'an in the future, he should be able to better look after Changhe..."

Fujiwara Daichi hesitated before speaking.

Changlong shook his head firmly.

"Brother, you can't think like that. Lord Yan'an has been labeled a 'country bumpkin.'"

"No one who gets involved will benefit much. Even if Changhe receives preferential treatment, it will suffer more backlash."

Fujiwara Daichi chuckled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was too naive."

It's best not to offer any opinions; the more you say, the more mistakes you'll make.

Changhe sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't tell my second brother beforehand, otherwise I might have ended up in jail too."

Huang Guang, the eldest son of Shi Gong Yan An, is now widely known for his outrageous actions.

The servants and maids in the mansion could all give a reasonable explanation.

Similar to gossip news in the modern world, it has become a major topic of conversation.

Changhe really didn't want to become one of them.

"Let's leave it at that then. In a few years, or I'll see if there are any other channels..."

"Thank you very much, Second Brother."

"Don't mention it, it's good that you're ambitious."

"..." Fujiwara Daichi remained silent.

Does he need to be ambitious?

Better say goodbye.

In terms of how he views issues, he is quite different from his two younger brothers and other cousins.

It was noon.

In the suburbs, Kyosuke Kousaka kills another group of unruly evil spirits at the monster market.

He then stayed at the Tsuki-no-Kami shrine and became a staff member there.

"Zhuiyue, how do you feel about the fact that fewer than ten people came today?"

"Is quantity all you care about?"

"No, quality is also very important. People who want to gain wealth without working are better off not coming."

"As expected... your thinking is quite problematic."

"No, I'm just expressing my thoughts objectively; you don't have to accept them."

"Well……"

Tsukuyomi stared at Kyosuke Kosaka with suspicion.

Ever since Kyosuke Kousaka and Hakuro got together, Tsuki no Kami has developed a certain distrust of Kyosuke Kousaka.

Like, now.

"Does this person want me to do what he says? No way!"

The Moon Chaser muttered to himself.

She aspires to become a tolerant deity.

How could she possibly look down on the believers who come to worship her!
