Chapter 17: Traveling to and from the City (9)
However, whether it was the poor officials of Taichang Temple, or Ding Xianxian, who was even better than the Taiwanese officials, Han Gang was not interested in entangling with them more. When Ding Xian was talking wantonly, it was at the beginning of the law change, and now that Su Shi has been detained in Taiwan, he doesn't dare to say anything nonsense.
After being welcomed into the main hall of the Yazhong, he recognized the person according to the rules, said a few words, and let the officials below disperse.
If it is in the local area, the chief official is in office, and there must be a reception banquet held in the main hall of the yamen, but in the yamen in the capital, and in the imperial city, there is no such rule.
Of course, there are generally reception banquets, but they have to be in the restaurant outside, and the minister's money cannot be used. When several subordinate officials made an invitation, Han Gang directly refused, and immediately saw that several people below were obviously relieved.
In addition to the pitiful number of Yulu, the outside world can only rely on the Sheji altars and Wucheng temples under its jurisdiction. A gantan temple, not a Buddhist temple, the sacrifice is small, but there are three classes of people to share the account together - the origin of the saying that the three classes eat incense - in which the profit is shared, everyone is just a star and a half. Although there is a rich teaching department, he can only watch dryly, and he can't get his hands on it. As long as there are a little more relatives, there is usually not enough food at home, how can there be spare money to come out to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the boss?
Although the Jiaofang Division is under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple, the people in the Jiaofang have close contacts with Shilin and the eunuchs, and Taichang Temple does not have much control over it - the jurisdiction of the music is in Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhou Nan was out of nationality that year, and the form was also handed to Kaifeng Mansion instead of Taichang Temple.
Han Gang has no intention of changing this status quo, and it can even be said that he does not want to have anything to do with the sect, or even the entire Taichang Temple.
Just now in the court, Han Gang learned a little about Zhao Ji's thoughts, and his plan was also in the Department of Health and Welfare and the Taiyi Bureau, so there was no need to focus on Taichang Temple.
The Department of Health and Welfare is now under the jurisdiction of the Zhongshu Gate, and after taking over, it will inevitably have to deal with the Zaifu of the political affairs hall. The Taiyi Bureau originally belonged to Taichang Temple, and it was only separated a few years ago, mainly to select medical officers and educate students, and there were also doctors selected to visit the military and Guozijian and martial arts in Beijing, not all of them only served the emperor's relatives and eunuchs, which was why Han Gang could ask Zhao Ji to set up a hospital. In addition, there is also the work of going to the disaster area to treat diseases and deliver medicines, but now it has been included in the Department of Health and Welfare.
Come to think of it, there is really chaos in the official system now. Since Zhao Ji put him in charge of the Department of Health and Welfare and the Taiyi Bureau, he happened to combine the two yamen by the way.
The sanatorium system has been established for many years, mostly in the military. However, the number of doctors sitting in the hall is still scarce, and the situation in the capital is good to say, there are students from the Taiyi Bureau to fill the vacancy, and the outside road is not so lucky. To change all this, the Department of Health and Welfare and the Tai Medical Bureau must play a greater role.
In addition, the medical decree belongs to the Hanlin Medical Academy, which makes Hangang lack a very important piece of the puzzle for the jurisdiction of health and medicine. However, with Han Gang's reputation, it is not difficult to fight for this jurisdiction.
All the subordinates of Taichang Temple dispersed, Han Gang looked up at the beams and pillars of the hall that had not been repaired for many years, the red paint was mottled, and he could even see the background color of decay and blackening in the water, it was really dilapidated and made people sigh, this is the Taichang Temple at the head of the nine temples!
But Han Gang only sighed in his heart, he had to write a note after he went back, and he would go to the Department of Health and Welfare tomorrow, and in another day, it would be the Taiyi Bureau.
……………………
Han Gang's arrival in Beijing was already an eye-catching event in Beijing.
In the past, whenever Han Gang took up a new post or arrived in Beijing, there would always be innovations that shocked the capital and even shocked the world, such as spaceships, plate armor, and cowpox, all of which made people in the capital look forward to what new moves Han Gang could make this time.
After Han Gang entered the right place today, all the yamen in the entire imperial city pricked up their ears, wondering what Han Gang said in front of the Son of Heaven. When Han Gang was going to compile a pharmacopoeia, and the news of the medical hall for the people in the city came out, there was an uproar.
"There are still people here in the History Museum who have made a bet," After returning home at dusk, Cai Bian still told Cai Jing about today's events, "Wang Zhengzhong [Wang Cun] said that it was a new immunization method or a medical book, and Zeng Zigu [Zeng Gong] said that it was most likely to rewrite the court rituals." ”
"Both sides rubbed the edges, but they couldn't be considered guesses. It should be a dealer's all......" Cai Jing asked his cousin, "Is there a dealer this time?" ”
Cai Bian shook his head: "It will be included in the public account, and in the future, the wine in the museum will be paid for here." ”
"Yuandu, what about you?"
Cai Bian smiled bitterly and sighed: "The younger brother is half on Wang Zhengzhong's side, and he is also returned to the public ...... Brother, you don't have anyone to bet on here? ”
"The top and bottom of the Yushi Terrace have suffered losses more than once at the hands of Han Gang, and there is a taboo about this name, so there is no movement." The corners of Cai Jing's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't know who he was laughing at, "But speaking of which, Taichung actually sent someone to find out the news, if Han Gang really offered a new immunization method, no matter what kind of disease it is, no one will remember the old evil, and they will simply refuse it." ”
Cai Jing has been transferred from the Department of Health and Welfare, and after going to Liao, it only took a short time to enter the Imperial History Observatory and supervise the Imperial History. The experience of serving under the Zhongshu Sect, as well as his contributions to the Department of Health and Welfare and the Liao State, made Cai Jing a well-known upstart in the officialdom of the capital today.
Cai Bian took a sip of the lily cold soup in the cup, because it was chilled, the taste was exceptionally cool. Charcoal in winter and ice in summer. This is a benefit that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty in Beijing can enjoy. But the lower the official quality of such benefits, the less you can enjoy it for granted. Cai Bian is now only a history museum proofreader, a little short of the official position of the third museum, and at the same time, his errand in Guozijian is also not of high rank, just a Beijing official who has just been transferred to an official. Fortunately, he lived in the same house with Cai Jing, but he was able to enjoy the treatment of a court official.
"It's a pity that my brother is no longer in the Department of Health and Welfare, otherwise the compilation of the pharmacopoeia would be indispensable for my brother."
"Because people succeed, even if they are meritorious, in the eyes of the world, they are all Han Gang's. Is it the wish of a foolish brother? Cai Jing shook his head and smiled.
The credit he received in the Department of Health and Welfare, many people say that he took advantage of Han Gang. Although Cai Jing doesn't care about this, as long as he can be promoted, he is still afraid of others talking about it? Laugh and scold him, and I will do it myself. Deng Xuan's famous words entered Cai Jing's heart.
But when it comes to good officials, how can the Ministry of Health and Welfare compare to the Imperial Historical Observatory? When it comes to the important position, it is headed by the counselor.
"But Han Gang is a smart man." Cai Jing said again: "When the pharmacopoeia is compiled, it will probably be the time when he enters the two mansions. Now the Son of Heaven has been pressing, not letting him enter the two mansions, is it not because of his lack of seniority? ”
"The Taiping Yulan is seven years of work in the two mansions and three museums, the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is five years, and the "Zizhi Tongjian" has not yet been completed, but it has been twelve years. It is not clear whether the pharmacopoeia that Han Gang wants to compile is complex or simple, that is, the relisting of the compendium that he is talking about, and I don't know what it is. Today, even the "Materia Medica" has been degraded, and if the pharmacopoeia is very bad, it will inevitably be embarrassing. Presumably, Han Gang will be meticulously carved, so that it may be difficult to achieve success in ten years. ”
"Just wait and see, he will definitely go to the Zazi in a few days, and it will be clear when the time comes?" Cai Jing was not interested in guessing, and said: "Tomorrow, the foolish brother will put wine in the cotton building, will you come to Yuandu?" ”
Cai Bian shook his head, "It's enough to have my brother come forward." ”
His spleen and stomach have always been weak, and when he goes back from drinking, he will inevitably vomit and diarrhea, and even be sick for a few days. But the strange thing is that he just eats some cold food at home, and it is not a problem at all.
However, Cai Jing's style of acting as a good banquet made Cai Bian a little worried, "Brother, you are now from Wutaizhong, and banqueting foreign officials may cause people to discuss." ”
"It's okay." Cai Jing said hello, "I didn't say that if I became a Taiwan official, I should cut off my relationship with my relatives and friends, how can I get less personal contacts?" ”
Seeing that Cai Bian still wanted to persuade, Cai Jing changed the topic again, "Speaking of which, before the introduction of the Prime Minister of Jiefu into "Words and Sayings", he made a big fanfare for the new school, and the foolish brother thought that Han Gang would learn to fight-for-tat, but he didn't expect it to become a pharmacopoeia and a medical hall after the dynasty. It seems that he still doesn't dare to go toe-to-toe with his father-in-law. ”
""Words and Words" is the result of many years of hard work by Xianggong Jiefu, even if Han Gang wants to fight, he has to spend a few years to write articles, but it can't be refuted by opening his mouth." Cai Bian is a disciple of Wang Anshi, and once went to Jiangning to study from Wang Anshi, otherwise he would not have been left to serve in the Guozi Prison, "He changed his efforts to the medical code, probably with the intention of avoiding the truth and making up for nothing...... There is no need to mention Shifu, just talking about Jingyi, Han Gang is not the opponent of Jiefu Xianggong, at most he will fight with Luoyang's Ercheng. ”
"What Han Gang has learned is close to nature. The interpretation of the scriptures is naturally inferior to the Jiefu Xianggong. A few days ago, I went to the Zhangjia Hotel by the Bianshui and heard Uncle Lu Hui's [Lu Gong's] family's thirteen yamen talking in the wing room next door, saying that he used the clairloom to look at Saturn, and found that Saturn was flat, like a circle of hat brim on the side, giving people a laugh. ”
"He's a man with bad eyes." Cai Bian smiled and said, "But the younger brother has heard that there are more peeps from the thirteen buildings to the Sweet Water Alley with a clairing mirror." ”
Cai Jing's eyes changed when he heard this: "Which family is doing this?" ”
Cai Bian felt that Cai Jing's tone was different, glanced at him, and immediately understood, "Brother is going to prepare for the book?" ”
Cai Jing nodded. For new entrants to Wutai, the first candidate is really nerve-wracking, and it is inevitable to find a suitable object so that it can get off to a good start. However, Cai Jing also knew that it was best not to impeach officials who had just taken office, especially those appointed by the Son of Heaven himself, who would not be able to get along with him. However, if you do it well, it will not be difficult to be promoted to the service system within five or six years.
Then he smiled coldly: "I also have to see if I am qualified first." ”
