Quietly enter the village, don't shoot, this is Xue Pan's style, he has asked Huang Delu clearly, and asked Steward Zhang to inquire, it turns out that the front of the Nanxun Hall is the window department that replies to the affairs of the palace and distributes materials, which is not in line with Xue Pan, and wants to go to the north hall, that is, where should the north hall of the Nanxun Hall be pinned, Xue Pan bypassed the crowd in front of the hall, picked up the pedestal of white marble, and arrived at the north hall, where there were several eunuchs who were very proud and proud of their stomachs stood at the door of the hall and paced back and forth, and saw Xue Pan and the two of them walking up, shouted: "What for?" ”

Steward Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to present the documents to the eunuch at the door, the eunuchs here are very different from the guards outside, even if Xue Pan has the title of the fifth grade and the official position of the sixth grade on his body, but these eunuchs did not raise their heads, and took the silver ticket of Steward Zhang's filial piety and still rolled their eyes, and looked like they ignored it, "I'll pass it on to you, wait!" ”

The weather at the beginning of August, waiting under the sun during the day, is not a comfortable thing, Xue Pan is so expensive at home, but outside, not everyone will spoil you, Xue Pan is afraid of heat, standing under the sun on such a hot day, he will sweat after a while, but this time is not the time to be coquettish, so he endured it.

Steward Zhang is an old man who followed his grandfather and father into the palace to sell the number, know the rules here, and be cautious in everything, the sales number, which means that he will re-serve as the governor, when the old and the new are alternated, the internal affairs office that is not too important in the usual time becomes very important, the Xue family is okay, the former Hangzhou Weaving House, because the master of the house accidentally offended which noble person in the palace before, so when he succeeded to the throne, he did not take action to rectify it, but it dragged the sales number for four or five years, Hangzhou Weaving Mansion almost fell to the point of begging, this lesson from the past, or in front of us.

Although there is the emperor's decree, but the king of Hades is good to see the little ghost, the bureaucrats only need a procrastination trick, can grind people to death, Xue Pan knows that it is good so he waits patiently, fortunately did not wait for a long time, after a while, one of the eunuchs wearing gray eunuch clothes came out and asked Xue Pan to go in, just said that there is no need for Steward Zhang to go in, "This is Ouchi, the hall official wants to see you, is it possible to bring a housekeeper in?" ”

Xue Pan entered the north hall alone, entered the palace gate, bypassed several halls, and arrived at a flower hall painted with green pines and bright moons, among which there was a middle-aged man with a long beard wearing a red official uniform who was writing something with his head down, and the eunuch entered the flower hall and saluted the official, "Lord Zhang, Xue Pan, the admiral of Jinling Weaving Mansion has arrived." ”

The official, who was called Master Zhang, raised his head, only to see that he was heroic, handsome, and good-looking, he raised his head, put down his pen, and stood up again. Nodding towards Xue Pan, the eunuch introduced on the side: "This is Lord Lang Zhongzhang, the General Office of the Du Yu Department of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Lord Xue, please visit." ”

The Du Yu Division is one of the seven departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is set up as Langzhong, the director, the commissioner, the pen post, and the scribe, who are in charge of the selection of various officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the affairs of the fish. This is not much different from the officials in the outer court, counting the internal affairs office is originally a huge and incomparably large institution, in the period of Taizu Taizong, the official - that is, the internal affairs government in addition to the eunuchs and those deacons who have no grade, there are as many as 3,000 officials, after the holy queen Bingzheng, and used the great wealth god of the inner court to open the factory, the number of officials is more and more, the number of officials, and the position of the general office of the Duyu Division of this management position is more and more important. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be mixed with the officials outside unless they have a certain level, so the power of this general office is very great, and he is almost the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, although he is nominally the general office, he is already wearing a red robe and has crossed the threshold of the fourth grade.

Xue Pan knew the severity and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, sang a promise in his mouth, and called himself a lower official, the Lord Zhang was very polite, walked out of the desk, and personally helped Xue Pan up, "Lord Xue, this kneeling is the number of etiquette, and the official is slightly older than you, so I accepted your courtesy, but it is not because I am your superior, count," Lord Zhang sighed a little, "In the past, I still had a few relationships with Lord Xue's father, although the relationship was not deep, But they are still in agreement with each other, but the sky is not eternal! ”

Xue Pan hurriedly thanked him, Lord Zhang invited Xue Pan to sit down, the servant served tea, Lord Zhang asked some trivial things about the weaving house, and carefully asked about the matter of avoiding the plague pill, he was a little surprised when he heard the ins and outs of this, "Lord Xue has such a fairy fate, and it will be a promising future in the future. ”

Xue Pan was very humble, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to take it, "Where is the credit of the lower officials here, counting it, it is naturally more difficult for my uncle, and the credit is naturally greater." ”

Xue Pan is now in Nanxun Palace, I don't know how this Lord Zhang is, so he has to move out of his uncle Prince Teng first, and there is a backer not to be exposed, which is not very moral, Steward Zhang heard Xue Pan say this, and naturally nodded, "Lord Wang presided over the war in the southwest like this, and naturally he has the greatest credit." ”

Xue Pan chatted with Lord Zhang for a while, so he presented the document and asked Lord Zhang to sign, Lord Zhang looked at it neatly, took the paperwork, and licked the wolf on the inkstone, "Lord Xue's position has long been circled by the Holy Imperial Pen, and this time I came here, it's just a routine story, this official will sign it for you, and tomorrow it will be sent to the Minister of Internal Affairs before driving, and ask him to use the seal, even if you sit in the position of the Admiral, hurry up, and let you rest assured." ”

This way is fast, Xue Pan was very surprised that it was so smooth today, he saw that Lord Zhang's pen slowly fell, and before he could put the pen on the paper, a Sula rushed in from outside, he didn't have time to salute, and hurriedly called: "Lord Langzhong, Ezhong Hall has been promoted!" ”

Master Zhang didn't move, and exclaimed: "Isn't the Ezhong Hall discussing matters in front of the emperor?" How did you get back? ”

"I really don't know, I just know that I don't know what's going on outside, the elders of the political hall have entered the palace, and the middle hall will come back immediately, like," Sula reminded intimately, "I was furious, and I was very unhappy." ”
