After Lin Yanchao bowed down.

Su Yan also returned it halfway, looked Lin Yanchao up and down, and then said: "Sima is the current Wenzong, and he is also the Hanlin in the capital, and he can come to Zhongzhou as an official this time." The local gentry and people are looking forward to the rain after a long drought. In the future, the government will rely on Sima a lot. ”

Lin Yanchao said solemnly: "The words of the government are serious, and the subordinate officials are from the background, and they have no experience as a pro-people official. As an official here, you have to ask for benefits from the government and the lords. ”

Su Yan smiled when he heard this, but other officials below Su Yan didn't dare to say this, and they all said that they didn't dare.

Su Yan pinched his beard and said: "Sima is really humble when he speaks, this time he came to Zhongzhou, first worshiped the domain, Zhentai?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Ben Cheng has the emperor's order, and he has rushed from the capital to return to Germany to take up his post, and he has not yet been to Kaifeng. ”

Su Yan finally had a polite smile on his face, and stretched out his hand and said, "Sima, please do it in the inner hall." ”

Lin Yanchao didn't move a step, and pushed: "It's better to invite Futai first." ”

Su Yan nodded and took the lead, Lin Yanchao did not immediately follow behind Su Yan, but paused to look back, but saw that the other officials smiled together: "Sima first, please." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, so he followed Su Yan and stepped across the Yimen, and the rest of the government officials followed Lin Yanchao into the Yimen in the order of their official positions.

Entering the instrument door, it is the main hall, and the plaque on the main hall is written with three words 'Baomin Hall'.

Guide Mansion is the 24th year of Jiajing, by the prefect Cai Runan, to the state office to rebuild.

This Baomin Hall is the main hall of the government, the east of the main hall is the experience of the house, and the west of the house is the mill.

Su Yan led Lin Yanchao and the others through the main hall and to the back hall.

Seats have been set up here, and all the officials have their seats.

The seat of the Emperor of Su Yan's Mansion is to sit in the middle with the back north and facing south, and an empty chair is placed on the east side, which also faces south, and there are two rows of chairs sitting on the left and right below.

Su Yan pointed to the chair on the right side of the south and said, "Sima, please take a seat." ”

Lin Yanchao's eyes narrowed, and he secretly sneered in his heart.

"Don't dare to be it, the lower official should sit here with the three general judges." Lin Yanchao said with a smile on his face, and he came to the first chair on the east side and west side.

Su Yan stepped forward and said, "Eh, this can't be done." Sima This is to make colleagues in Henan officialdom laugh at this house. ”

Su Yan said, and all the officials smiled kindly.

There is a lot of attention to the things in this seat.

The prefect of the county, the prefect is the official of the seal, and the official of the seal is also called the official of the main hall.

Why is he called the chief officer?

The lobby facing south from the north main entrance is called the main hall. The official seat of the main hall sits in the north and faces south as the honorable position, and is the lord of the main hall. As for the subordinates, they sit on the left and right, or face north and are ordered.

However, Lin Yanchao, as a fellow intellectual, is the prefect's second official, but he is not a subordinate and cannot face the north to be ordered. Therefore, Su Yan set up a seat on the east side for him and sat together facing the south.

Lin Yanchao originally sat fine, but he knew that in the government office, Tongzhi and Tongzhi were all the prefect's assistants. Although Tongzhi is one grade higher than Tongju, after all, everyone is an assistant prefect. But there was no side seat for general judgment in the back hall, but there was a side seat for Tongzhi, so Lin Yanchao couldn't sit down rashly.

Lin Yanchao remembered the comments he had heard about Su Yan before, if this person was really the kind of person who grabbed power and didn't let go, then the most fearful thing was that someone didn't know how to be respectful and humble.

Su Yan put on a respectful appearance, while Lin Yanchao resolutely refused to take a seat.

So they pushed for a while, and the two compromised.

Lin Yanchao still sat beside Su Yan, not in the same row as officials at all levels of the government, but his seat was changed from the original face south to face west. In fact, this is not a compromise, but a tacit understanding between officials that you respect me and I respect you.

The order of sitting is to set the dignity and humility in the government, and the officials and officials at all levels below come to pay homage.

If you visit in the main hall, it is a formal visitor, but if you visit in the back hall, the rules are more casual.

First of all, Menzi, sedan chair man, and white servant, saw Lin Yanchao kowtowing directly under the hall.

Lin Yanchao sat upright as usual.

followed by the three classes and six room officials, who also kowtowed to Lin Yanchao under the hall.

Lin Yanchao sat upright as usual.

The third is the experience department, the Zhao Mo office, the tax department and other officials, these are all government officials, and the flow of goods is less than seven grades.

In the Ming officialdom, eight and nine grades are a threshold, seven grades, six grades and five grades are a threshold, and four grades and three grades are another threshold.

Although it is less than seven grades, it is also an official of the imperial court, such as Yu Youen, who welcomed Lin Yanchao before, is also among them, and they came to the hall to bow to Lin Yanchao four times.

Lin Yanchao got up and saluted, and then returned the bow twice.

In the end, the official was pushed, and the general judgment stepped forward, Lin Yanchao could no longer sit still, and everyone treated each other politely.

After the worship, everyone dispersed, leaving only the same house, the official, and the three general judgments in the hall.

These people are the real high-ranking officials in the government, if you take a city in later generations to refer to the team of officials in this government.

The prefect is the secretary of the municipal party committee, Lin Yanchao is the executive vice mayor, and the three are the deputy mayors in charge, and the promoters are equivalent to the presidents of the people's courts.

The three general judgments of Guide Mansion are the general judgment of grain capture, the general judgment of Shang Yu, and the general judgment of Yi Kao.

A few people passed the name, and Lin Yanchao was about to open his mouth and talk about this mission.

Su Yan immediately interrupted and asked outside, "How is the Tongzhi Mansion cleaned up?" Can Sima's retinue settle down? All utensils should be rationed according to the house of the house, and they should not be short. ”

The subordinates responded and immediately went to do it.

Lin Yanchao smiled slightly, but saw Su Yanfang and said: "There are no outsiders here at the moment, what does Sima have to say but it doesn't matter?" ”

Lin Yanchao knew that Su Yan wanted to say something dry by himself. So he said: "When Ben Cheng leaves Beijing, I will resign to Your Majesty." His Majesty's holy oracle said that he was very sad to hear about the breach of the embankment in Guide, and he was worried about the people. Seeing that His Majesty was unhappy, Ben Cheng played the right way to serve as an official for one term, benefit one party, and be a good official close to the people to relieve his sorrows. ”

The faces of the other people sank when they heard this, and Du Su Yan remained silent.

The embankment of Guide Mansion burst, and millions of people in the Yellow River were affected, and then Lin Yanchao was admonished for this matter, and hundreds of officials knocked on it.

The Son of Heaven had to agree to cut the use of King Lu's wedding to help the victims.

This incident stirred up the world, and the Guide Mansion was the place where the accident occurred, and the officials at all levels of the Guide Mansion could be called the initiators, and it was difficult to escape their responsibility. And Su Yan, as the honor of a mansion, is the first to bear the brunt.

Su Yan flipped the lid of the tea and said slowly: "This matter is in an uproar, which was unexpected, but the specific reason for the breakage of the embankment in De is described in detail in the submission of the Futai and the feudal division. Sima wants to know the details, and the government has a copy of the submission here to look at it. ”

Lin Yanchao saw that Su Yan was so calm, and said with a smile: "Xia Guan is here to assist Lord Futai, but he is not here to inquire about this matter, after all, people cannot be resurrected after death......

"Eh, it's not too late for Sima to read it," Su Yan instructed to the outside world, "Tell the master to bring a copy of the submission on the case of this mansion." ”
