Prince Xuan, accompanied by Wen Zhongtang and Qian Shangshu, a division, a division of the "visit" in the past, he is full of spring breeze, that is, to the unentered officials, but also bustling like to the family, in addition to official business, will also ask "how many children in the family", "have the New Year's goods ready" and other extremely down-to-earth questions, occasionally open one or two such as "In this way, next year is the year of the brother's birth, it is time to wear a red" and other harmless jokes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Low-level officials and assistants, if they want to see Prince Xuan on weekdays, they can't get it, let alone imagine the face-to-face "gossip" like now, some are overjoyed, some are flattered, and some are excited and at a loss, and their words are not very neat.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was laughing and laughing inside and out, as if it had passed the New Year ahead of schedule.

After all the divisions had "visited", and when they returned to the lobby of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prince Xuan, surrounded by a number of high-level, middle-level, and low-level officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spoke at length and gave quite a lecture. This pattern is also the routine program of the "inspection work" of the central leaders in later generations -- "important speeches" and "important instructions."

Prince Xuan's "important speech" at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is known as the "Dongtang Speech" in history; Subsequently, the "important speeches" delivered by the advisory committee, known as the "Yinwan Speech" in history, were collectively called the "Dongyin Speech" -- the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in Dongtangzi Hutong, and the Advisory Committee was in Yinwan Hutong.

These two "important speeches," which have been vigorously publicized, promoted, and continuously fermented, have had a considerable impact on China's political, economic, social, and other developments over a fairly long period of time.

If you have made an "important speech", it is a "group photo".

The original plan was for all the "staff" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take a "family photo" with Prince Xuan, but later it turned out that the difficulty was very great - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a large number of personnel, and although there were many pavilions and pavilions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it could not find a place that was open enough to accommodate everyone - unless they were pulled outside to take pictures.

That's not quite right.

So I had to change the plan, and in addition to the chief officer, the rest of the divisions "drew lots". However, the name "lottery" is actually a "black-box operation" -- those who describe Xuan Ang naturally have to take advantage of it, and the probability of being selected is greater.

After the "group photo", Prince Xuan "gave a reward": not silver, but hundreds of identical packages of "New Year's goods" -- all officials and officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, regardless of rank, one bag per person.

One of the packets, as a "sample", was opened and spread out on the table, and at a glance, dried fruits, dried goods, tea, and snacks were ...... A feast for the eyes.

Among them, there are all kinds of goods that are difficult for ordinary people to buy: for example, whole Xuanwei ham, colorful foreign sugar -- such things are especially rare, generally speaking, outside the concession, only in the palace and a few relatives and nobles' homes can be seen, not to mention that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is China's No. 1 place to handle foreign affairs, and most of the officials and officials have never eaten "foreign sugar".

Prince Xuan's "reward" -- like a "condolence gift" for later generations, may not be a big deal for high-ranking officials, but for most middle- and low-level officials and officials who have not yet entered the stream, it is very affordable and very intimate.

After the "reward," it was time for lunch, so the small kitchen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was opened, accompanied by Wen Zhongtang and Qian Shangshu, and together with the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they had a very "people-friendly" "light meal" -- in today's terms, it was a "working meal."

So far, Prince Xuan's "inspection" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been successfully concluded.

Next, Prince Xuan and his entourage went to the advisory committee of Yinwan Hutong on Chongwenmen Inner Street.

The Advisory Board is much more lively than the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This "lively" is that there are many people who "watch the lively".

Prince Xuan came to guide the work, Yinwan Hutong and Dongtangzi Hutong are the same, generally out of the police to enter, do not allow idle people to enter and exit, however, in addition to serious business, there is another kind of people, not in the "idle people" - clan, Jueluo.

The advisory committee is also in charge of the "Feng'en Fund", and on weekdays, there are many clans and Jueluo who come and go. Yellow and red ribbons visit the advisory board, and tea and snacks will be entertained; The members below are free, and they are willing to accompany them, chatting nonsense, so some idle clans treat the advisory committee as a teahouse, and a few people make an appointment to sit on the advisory committee together, bragging and fart, and can soak for most of the day.

In this kind of situation, there have been annoyances on the road, and there are twists in the imperial history, saying that the advisory committee is an important place in the country, and the clan's behavior is really not solemn, and the imperial court is asked to issue an edict to strictly prohibit it.

"Above" asked Guo Songtao what he meant, but Guo Songtao said "there is no hindrance", the clan also knows the rules, and when they enter the advisory committee, they will only sit in the "reception" and will not move around at will, where they should not go, they will not go, the "Feng'en Fund" is to solve problems for the clan, and there is no need to put on a "difficult door, ugly face, and difficult to do" appearance, everything is just as usual.

In this way, the "above" is not self-conscious.

When the yellow and red ribbons heard the news, they all said that Guo Yunxian was on the surface with a high cliff and was difficult to approach, but in fact, "he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is really a good person".

Guo is a "good person", and Guan someone above him is even more "good person".

As soon as I heard that Prince Xuan was going to come to "visit and condole" the Gu Committee, many people immediately greeted each other, "Let's go, see Xuan San!" ”

Since Guan Zhuofan became the king of Xuanjun, between the clan and Jueluo, the title of him in private began to be upgraded from "Guan San" to "Xuan San".

Of course, there are many people who still call him "Guan San".

As soon as Prince Xuan's guard of honor entered the mouth of Yinwan Hutong, a large group of yellow and red ribbons gathered at the entrance of the advisory committee saw it from a distance and shouted, "Coming, coming!" ”

The guard of honor did not march all the way to the gate of the advisory board, but stopped a few feet away from the gate. The pedal was put down, Prince Xuan bowed his head and bent over, and got out of the car.

As soon as he appeared, cheers rang out. Prince Xuan straightened up, smiled and clenched his fists, and made a quadrangle. The cheers immediately rose to a higher level, mixed with enthusiastic applause.

As in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Songtao waited at the gate with the senior officials of the advisory board.

Túrin opened the way ahead, Guan Zhuofan was full of smiles, arched his hands to the crowd on both sides, and walked forward slowly.

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

How could there be a woman in the crowd?

This group of people should all be clansmen and Jueluo?

Before he could make up his mind, the woman pulled a teenager in one hand, squeezed out of the crowd, and the three of them ran towards him together.
