With the construction of Taicheng, the popularity is gradually recovering. Although relatively speaking, the workload of Taichen is much lighter than that of local officials, but according to the regulations, Taichen has to live in Taicheng and work, and if he is absent for a long time and does not show up in Taicheng, he will always be criticized, or he will retire from illness or retirement, or neglect his administration.

Therefore, when the living environment of Taicheng improved, the Taichens also rushed back, and there were more and more pedestrians on the way, and their vitality was also recovering.

Wen Qiao has already had a stroke, and the level is also there, so he is qualified to take the chariot in Taicheng. Shen Zhezi lowered his hand and followed behind him, like a little follower. On the road, when they met those ministers who were walking between the various government offices, they all stopped and worshiped the Shangshu order.

But soon, Wen Qiao found that compared to him, Shang Shuling, it seemed that the little follower behind him was more popular in Taicheng. The bystanders walked up to him, and though they were very respectful, they bowed and then withdrew. But halfway through, Shen Zhezi had already gathered more than a dozen ministers around him, most of whom were young people, and they were chatting and laughing with him.

Wen Qiao was already not completely relieved of Shen Zhezi, but when he saw so many people gathered around him, the appearance of hugging him was quite eye-catching, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart. He waved his hand to stop the servants, turned his head and snorted coldly: "Is it just for you to laugh and wander in Taicheng?" ”

Hearing Shang Shuling's reprimand, everyone was silent. Shen Zhezi also knew that Wen Qiao was still making trouble in his heart at the moment, and he couldn't afford to provoke him again at this time, so he said to everyone: "When I enter the stage today, I will live for a long time, and I will gather with you when I am free." ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise or joy, there was so much movement in Shen Yuan, and there was no shortage of speculation in their hearts whether Shen Zhezi still had the opportunity to enter the Taiwan office, but they didn't expect to come today, and Shang Shuling personally asked to accompany him. This treatment is really envious of others.

Although they had different thoughts, they all stepped forward to congratulate them, agreed to meet again in the coming day, and then they all dispersed to find relatives and friends to inform them of the news. The horse is about to perform his duties, which is not a big news in Taicheng.

After dealing with these people, Shen Zhezi took a few more steps to catch up, and saw Wen Qiao sitting on his chariot and looking at him with a smile: "I thought you had caused too much turmoil, so I showed the public, but I didn't expect it to be my partiality." It turns out that you also have a wide range of contacts in Taiwan and have met a lot! ”

"I still have to take more care of Gong Wen, and I don't dare to get carried away."

Although Shen Zhezi is respectful on his lips, there is no lack of slander in his heart, his popularity is better than you, how can you drop it? Xintai City has been repaired for you, no matter what, it should be more popular than Wen Qiao, who lost all and was detained and waited for his friends to redeem him.

Fortunately, Wen Qiao didn't hear Shen Zhezi's heart, but just ordered: "Follow me to the Tai Pavilion first, and then your family will send the edict to read, and then go to the public mansion to take up the post." ”

Shen Zhezi nodded and followed obediently. This time, I paid attention not to be overly public, and even if someone greeted me, I just responded with my head bowed, and I didn't say much. However, as the news of his entry into Taiwan spread, more and more people came out of the official office to see what was going on.

So on the way to Shangshutai, Wen Qiao was blessed by Shen Zhezi and enjoyed a welcome treatment. But he couldn't be happy, he didn't expect that this kid just entered Taiwan City, and actually caused such a big movement. Yu Tan didn't show up, but he personally escorted him, and in the eyes of others, he couldn't help but have some traces, and even confirmed the rumors that he supported Shen Zhezi and made Shen Yuan make this turmoil.

This time, instead of getting angry, he was first scolded by Princess Xingnan in the princess's mansion, and then on the way back, he added his injustice, Wen Qiao's mood can be imagined. So after returning to the official office, he just pointed to one of the doors and said, "Go in and meditate yourself, don't bother me again!" ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he really felt wronged, how could he have the heart to bother Wen Qiao, he had just come back and had not had time to rest for two days, and he was dragged into Taicheng, and he was still unhappy!

As the most important administrative office in Taicheng, Shangshutai is also extremely large, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire Taicheng! It's not that Wen Qiao wants to put such a big score, but because Shangshutai is divided into Cao Zhishi, and in terms of regulation, almost half of Taicheng is under his jurisdiction.

The division of Shangshutai has also increased or decreased with different times, from the most basic six cao to twenty or thirty cao. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that it was merged into six departments, and as for the other divisions, they were all divided into six divisions.

The change of authority of Shangshutai can also be called a counterattack history, originally only subordinate to the Shaofu subordinate officials, responsible for the management of the code atlas, and later in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it gradually summarized political affairs, and was used by the emperor to divide the power of the three dukes, becoming the highest administrative department.

However, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, Shangshutai was too big to lose and became the object of the emperor's vigilance. Then there was a Zhongshu in charge of the edict, which was used to clamp Shangshutai. But in the Southern Dynasties, even Zhongshu became the object that needed to be guarded against, so there was a cold door to take charge of.

Therefore, the evolution of the ancient political structure is really interesting, the Shangshu, Zhongshu, and the secretary were originally close servants, and the emperor promoted these easy-to-control courtiers in order to concentrate power in his own hands, but soon these courtiers all stood on the opposite side of the imperial power after they had power, and it seemed to become an unsolvable cycle.

Shen Zhezi was not lonely in Shangshutai for too long, not long after he sat down, Yu Tiao had already hurried over, and after entering the door, he pointed at Shen Zhezi and laughed: "Wei Zhou finally can't escape from the net, and he will be a follower in Taichung after today." ”

Shen Zhezi also laughed when he heard this, although there is not much restraint on officials nowadays, but after all, there are still them. For a person like Yu Tiao, who is not short of money and power, entering Taicheng to hold an official position is indeed a shackle for no reason, and it is far better to be idle and free when he is in the opposition.

From this point of view, the seclusion of Ruan and Ji Kang in the early Wei, Jin, and Sino-Korean dynasties can be said to be an escape from ****, but in the future, it is more about having money to burn bags and being lazy to do anything.

After Yu Tiao sat down, he sighed again: "But similar to Wei Zhou Dacai, he should have done anything a long time ago, and it is a pity for the common people to be idle for a long time." ”

Although Shen Zhezi has heard all kinds of praises, but Yu Tiao's words still make him a little embarrassed, he has not been crowned this year, and he has been used, if this is still idle for a long time, then many of the children of the hundred cold sects who are more than half a year old are still waiting for the election in the ministry, I really don't know what to say.

Yu Tiao is also working at the moment, but he came over to see him in a hurry, and agreed to hold a banquet in Shangshutai to celebrate Shen Zhezi in the evening, and then returned to his official office.

Next, Shen Zhezi met Ji You, Xie Shang and others here, it can be said that there is an endless stream of visitors, and between ushering in and sending them, you can feel the gaze of Wen Qiao's faint gaze in the distance.

After staying in Shangshutai for more than an hour, the family sent the edict and valve reading, so Shen Zhezi said goodbye to Wen Qiao.

Although Wen Qiao was already impatient with Shen Zhezi using his official office as a meeting room, he still let him in and instructed: "There are many people in the stage, there are many people, remember not to let your words and deeds be as laissez-faire as before." I know you're not in the center, but now that you've returned to Taiwan, it's better to be a show, and don't go too far. There may be admonitions from the Taibao, just listen patiently. ”

These can be regarded as serious words, and Shen Zhezi nodded seriously to indicate that he was taught. But Wen Qiao has already learned this guy's ability to be yang and yin, and he has no trust, so after he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Get out, get out!" ”

Shen Zhezi laughed, and then went out. As soon as he left the Shangshutai official office, he saw Yuan Tan standing on the side of the road as if waiting for him, so he hurried over.

"I heard that the horse has been ordered to enter Taiwan, and the Taibao specially asked me to come and guide the horse."

Yuan Tan took a step forward and said with a smile. In his heart, he was worried that Shen Zhezi occupied his career, and at the same time caused Xie Shang to be centrifuged, and there was no lack of resentment in his heart, but he could always maintain a harmonious atmosphere after meeting.

"Although I have not served as Taicheng, I have a lot of contacts, and Brother He Laoyan welcomes me personally!"

Shen Zhezi also expressed his gratitude and asked his family to hand over a picture book as a gift, which is also a common rule in Taichung, and the new official should give Shangguan and his colleagues a meeting gift. As for what gifts to give, they all vary from person to person, some are ordinary objects, and some simply give money directly.

Yuan Tan originally didn't plan to accept the gift, but after his eyes fell on the book, his face changed, and he couldn't say anything about refusal, and muttered: "It's Wei Tai Baozhenzhang, this gift is too valuable." I was only commanded to guide the horses, and I deserve it! ”

"I'm also following the customs, Brother Yandao, don't shirk it anymore."

Wei Qian is a great calligrapher in China and North Korea, when people learn more of his penmanship, although his pen notes flow to Jiangdong is also a lot, but most of them are cherished and secret, so they are also very precious. In the early years, Shen Zhezi entered the capital to seduce Ji Qian, and searched the east and west sects in the capital before finding the true trace of Wei Qian. But now that Li Chong, who has the true inheritance of the Wei family, is his guest, he doesn't think it's so unusual.

Moreover, his family also has a future scholar who often comes and goes as a scribe, and Wei Qiang's authentic works can be used as gifts for entering Taicheng, no matter who gives or receives it, it is enough to save face.

After receiving the other party's gift, Yuan Tan was not too distant, and his speech became closer, and he said with a smile while walking with Shen Zhezi: "Although the Taichung edict has already been released, it has not been waiting for the horses to arrive for a long time, and I have been waiting for the government members for a long time." ”
