Chapter 9: Entering the Temple

Wang Su thought twice and promised to let Xu Ping recommend him to be the judge of the herdsmen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Normally, the recommender does not need the consent of the person being promoted, and in most cases, the opinion of the person being promoted will not be asked. Xu Ping asked Wang Su's opinion because the two had a close relationship, and he also needed his cooperation in follow-up official affairs.

In Wang Su's case, he has too much entertainment in the capital, even if he doesn't serve as a herd judge, it is rare to be idle in the pavilion, so it is better to go to a real job. And Xu Pingzhuang has also made a lot of money raising horses, he sees it in his eyes, and now he has an opportunity to be familiar with horse breeding, how can he let it go? As the previous judge, there is no problem in raising horses in the village by himself.

On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, the officials in the yamen had no intention of doing anything in the afternoon, and some had even packed up and gone home early. The Dragon Boat Festival is a rare long holiday, and the weather is just right now, so it's a good time to use this opportunity to play. If you wait for a while, the hot weather is coming, and it is not easy to go out even if you have a holiday.

Outside the vertical arch hall, Xu Ping paced back and forth, anxiously looking at the sun in the sky from time to time.

Today he wants to enter the palace to face, but he doesn't know what's going on, His Majesty's resignation Wang Yan has been dragging in the hall again and again, but he doesn't see how he goes out, and I don't know where he has so much to say. After returning to Beijing from the Hebei transfer envoy, Wang Yan took the sixteen volumes of his own "Spring and Autumn Collection Biography", and was awarded the title of Zhizhaowen Museum, which was very enterprising.

Li Zhang was on duty at the gate, and from time to time he came out to chat with Xu Ping when he was free.

Waiting is very difficult to face this time, you have to wait according to the time arranged at the gate, and the people in front of you don't know when they will come out, and the officials in the back can only wait here. What is this place? The main gate of Ouchi, the guards of the Gate, the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial City Division and the Imperial Palace Division are heavily guarded, and no one will feel comfortable here.

Xu Ping forgot how much time he had been waiting here, and finally Li Zhang walked over quickly from the gate and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty Wang Gongbu has resigned, let's go in." The official family has already gone to the Yanhe Palace, and the ministers have already been waiting there. ”

With a sigh, Xu Ping straightened his clothes slightly, and followed Li Zhang into the door of the vertical arch hall.

His Majesty's speech is in the Chongzheng Palace, which is the embodiment of the emperor's own power, and there can be no ministers next to him, so that it is convenient to say some private words with the ministers who go out as officials, and explain some things that the emperor is particularly concerned about. Xu Ping's affairs had to be attended by the minister, and the place he faced was changed to Yanhe Palace, but fortunately, the two halls were also next to each other, and Zhao Zhen couldn't walk a few steps.

Walking along the corridors, not far away, I met Wang Yan who had resigned from His Majesty.

Seeing Xu Ping and Li Zhang coming over from a distance, Wang Yan was busy dressing up and standing respectfully to the side. His official is a member of the Ministry of Works, and his position is the Zhizhao Library, and his official and position are far lower than Xu Ping, and he meets him head-on to make way.

When he arrived, Wang Yan held the wat and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Wang Yan, I have seen Xu Zhizhi." ”

Xu Ping nodded in return: "Your Majesty should leave the city immediately, it is not early, I will not delay your time." ”

Wang Yan said: "Back to the waiting system, just now I have changed the dispatch of the lower officials and changed to serve in the third division." ”

"What?" Xu Ping was about to turn around and leave, but when he heard this, he stopped again. "You're going to work in the Third Division? I don't know which official of the Third Division is it now? ”

"The deputy envoy of the lower official will be appointed as the deputy envoy of the household department."

Wang Weizhong was the first boss to enter the career cooperation, and when he heard that he was replaced, Xu Ping couldn't help but ask clearly: "Where is Deputy Envoy Wang going?" I didn't hear I was going to let him go—"

"Deputy Envoy Wang was relocated to the deputy envoy of the Duzhi, and it was Deputy Envoy Li who was to be appointed outside, replacing the subordinate as the Hebei Road Transit Envoy."

This series of personnel changes made Xu Ping feel a little dizzy, he himself was only the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and no one would ask his opinion on the personnel transfer at this level. But what is this picture? Li Hong wants to take up a foreign post, and he once sent an envoy to the Khitan, so it is just right to go to Hebei Road, but what is the purpose of Wang Weizheng's position change? The ranking of the deputy envoy of the degree branch is before the deputy envoy of the household department, but it is only a shift in the court, and there is not much difference.

I couldn't figure it out, Xu Ping couldn't pull Wang Yan in the big interior to ask clearly, and after a few words hastily, he said goodbye and followed Li Zhang to the depths of the palace.

When he arrived outside the Yanhe Palace, the little yellow door had been reported, Xu Ping dressed up, saluted like a ceremony, and entered the hall.

I saw the emperor Zhao Zhen sitting on it, on both sides of one side were the two prime ministers Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, on the other side were the privy envoy Zhang Shixun and the deputy envoys Li Shi and Wang Deyong, and under the head sat two Hanlin scholars, Yan Shu and Mei Xun.

Xu Ping stepped forward and saluted, Zhao Zhen ordered to watch the seat, and Xiao Huangmen served tea soup together.

At this time, it was already past noon, and Zhao Zhen and several ministers did not eat after retiring from the court, so they took this opportunity to fill their stomachs. Xu Ping is not hungry, after so many years in this world, he has become accustomed to eating only two meals during the day.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Huangmen removed his things and began to talk about things officially.

Zhao Zhen said: "Xu Ping, two days ago, you gave a concert, talking about the salt and iron judge Guo Qian to check the Tang, Ru, and Cai Sanzhou to do small iron money, and carefully explore the geography, I think that you can lead Luo water into the Bianhe River and seal the mouth of the Bianhe, so as to reduce the sediment in the Bianhe River." I have thought twice about this matter, and I feel that there seems to be a feasible reason for this matter, and I will summon you to meet today. ”

Xu Ping got up and took the wat to receive the order, and was about to open his mouth to do something, Zhao Zhen said again: "There is another matter, the herd envoy Mei inquired that there is a good way to breed horses in your village, and you can use a good male and female to make hundreds of mares pregnant." Ma Zheng has always been a national plan, and if this law is really feasible, it can alleviate the shortage of military horses. I invite you today, and two things will be played together. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen remembered something again, and instructed the attendants around him: "A few days ago, there were watermelons grown this year in the Zhuangzi to be prepared by Xu, you go and get a few, and several ministers here will try them together." ”

The chamberlain bowed down to receive the order and took a small yellow door out of the Yanhe Palace.

Xu Ping stood there a little helplessly holding the wat in his hand, the emperor was more relaxed when he talked to him, and remembered that it was a come out as soon as he came out, but it was a little embarrassing to hang himself here.

Zhao Zhen ordered, turned around and saw that Xu Ping was still standing there, and said busily: "Sit down and talk, this is not the front hall, you can relax." The ministers here are all used to seeing them on weekdays, so they don't need to be too formal. ”

Xu Ping thanked him and sat down in his seat. But there was some helplessness in his heart, the emperor was young, and he felt that both sides were relaxed and conducive to talking, but the ministers present may not think so. Especially when he ascended to a high position at a young age, the last thing he wanted was for people to say that he was frivolous and had no ministerial courtesy, which affected not only his reputation, but also his career.
