Listening to Zhao Zhen's words, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng glanced at each other and did not speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In just over a year, Li Yonghe has been promoted from a small military attache of the eighth rank all the way to the official assassin of the fourth rank, this promotion speed is appalling, and it is extremely rare since the founding of the country. But obviously Zhao Zhen still feels that it is not enough, the promotion is too slow, his own uncle is too old, and he is only such a petty official, how can he see it? But the country has laws, there are rules for promotion, and the emperor can't mess around with his temperament, and now that he has an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he naturally wants to seize it.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Zhao Zhen leaned forward, his eyes constantly sweeping over several ministers.

Xu Ping lowered his eyes and was silent. This reason is the same as Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun's silence about Wang Su's appointment as the judge of the herd just now, everyone knows that the Xu family and Li Yonghe's family are the best of the family, and he naturally wants to avoid it.

After a long while, Zhang Shixun said: "Your Majesty, Li Tingshi is naturally a suitable candidate, but his official position has changed again and again in the past year, and each term is only a few months, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to change it again at this time." ”

Wang Zeng said: "If the ministry changes too quickly, the examination and the like will be useless, and Your Majesty should think twice." ”

Zhao Zhen strained his face, looked at everyone, and suddenly asked Wang Deyong: "Wang Taiwei, what do you think?" ”

Wang De was expressionless, bowed and said: "Weichen general, how can the appointment and dismissal of ministers be placed!" ”

"The herd envoy is in charge of Ma Zheng, and he has a close relationship with the military, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it!"

Where is Wang De willing to get involved in this kind of thing, he just said: "The affairs of the herd division, Weichen really don't know. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the few people present, Lu Yijian didn't speak, although Li Shi didn't speak, but looking at his appearance, he didn't agree to ask, let alone Yan Shu and Mei Xun, they didn't count.

Sitting on it and silent for a while, Zhao Zhen stopped talking about it and simply dispersed. The group husbandry department did what was said before, and Wang Su went to serve as the group herding judge, and discussed the new horse breeding method with Xu Ping, and it was necessary to discuss it later.

Xu Ping went out of Ouchi, and when he saw that the others did not come out, he knew that they had other things to discuss. Anyway, it's something that has nothing to do with me, so I don't have to worry about it, and I go to the door to find Zhang.

Li Zhang took off his uniform and was handing over to the others, when he saw Xu Ping coming out, he hurriedly said: "Brother came out just in time, and I am also about to go home, so it is better to go together." ”

Xu Ping nodded, waited for a while, Li Zhang cleaned up, and the two went out of Donghua Gate together.

Turning to the front of the imperial city, Xu Ping asked Li Zhang to wait for a while, went back to the yamen to explain the matter, took his entourage, and walked forward along the imperial palace together.

Walking not far, looking at the front is the Great Xiangguo Temple, Li Zhang smiled: "Today is free, we might as well go to the Xiangguo Temple in front of the roast Zhu Courtyard to eat barbecue." Back then, you were still clothy, and we went together in the capital once, and for many years, we never went in again. The master of the barbecue is old, and he doesn't know when he will stop. ”

Xu Ping smiled: "That's right, it's still early now, so I'll go and have a few drinks." ”

Sangkokuji Temple is divided into many courtyards, and some of them are rented out, so even if there are monks living in them, some of them are not under the control of Sangokuji Temple. And even if it is the monk in Xiangguo Temple, there are all kinds of things, and there are all kinds of things. Located in the most prosperous part of the capital, Daxiangguoji Temple is more of a loose market than a temple.

and Li Zhang entered the Zhu Courtyard, and a little novice cleaned up neatly, like a small guy in the store outside, and greeted him and said, "Two guest officers, please come inside, what do you want to eat today?" What to drink? ”

After not coming for many years, Xu Ping saw that the city was becoming more and more tacky, and it gradually became almost the same as the ordinary hotels outside. The monk Huiming who made this place famous back then is already old, and now the people in charge are all his disciples, and since he was a child, these wine and meat monks even threw Huiming's trace of Buddha nature outside the Nine Heavens Cloud, just thinking about opening a store to make money.

Letting the entourage go outside, Xu Ping and Li Zhang found a table and stool to sit down, and said to the little novice: "First come two catties of cooked roast meat, and then a few fresh tea and vegetables, by the way, what wine do you have here?" ”

"There are all kinds of famous wines in the capital, there are all kinds of wine in this courtyard, what do you want to drink?"

Xu Ping was no longer accustomed to drinking the usual water and wine, so he said: "If there is spirits, then come a small bottle." ”

Little Shami got the order and ran quickly to the back kitchen.

Li Zhang looked at the back of the little novice and sighed: "This has always been the first Buddhist resort in the world, but we came to drink wine and eat meat, alas, it is really blasphemy against the Buddha." ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "The monks sell, we will come to eat and drink, why be sad in the Spring and Autumn Period!" We are all people who have no relationship with the Buddha, and being able to come to the temple through wine and meat is our fate with the Dharma. ”

In this era, there were many scholars and doctors who were close to monks, and many of them also studied Zen and Confucianism and Buddhism. However, Xu Ping was not that interested, and he stayed away from Taoist priests and monks, let alone read Buddhist scriptures and Taoist treasures. The temple sells wine and meat, Xu Ping thinks this is very good, it is much better than just thinking about the incense money of good men and women.

Regardless of Buddhism and Taoism, temples and palaces were not only religious places in this era, but also places for people to gather and play, and even places for stalls and trade. Just like Daxiangguo Temple, there are markets on the first, fifteenth and eighth days of the new year, not only in the capital, but also in the nearby counties where people come to buy and sell goods, and it is very lively.

There are countless various temple properties around the Great Xiangguo Temple, involving all walks of life, and the Xiangguo Temple itself is a shopping mall in the capital. Not only taxes, but also the income of Xiangguo Temple is shared with the government, and Kaifeng Mansion also takes special care of it here, as a major source of wealth for itself. Seriously, this is also an example of collusion between officials and businessmen.

It is precisely because of this business atmosphere that one of the largest shops in the three divisions is opened nearby, complementing the stall market in Xiangguo Temple, which has become more and more prosperous recently, and has a faint momentum of surpassing Donghua Gate to become the first business district in Beijing.

After a while, the little novice came with wine and meat, Li Zhang poured wine in the cup, raised his glass and said, "I haven't been drinking with my brother for many days, let's have a drink together!" ”

After drinking the wine in the cup and taking a few sips of the menu, Xu Ping said to Li Zhang: "Brother, our own family, if you have something to say, I will tell you directly." Just now in the palace, talking about the lack of manpower in the herd pastor, the meaning of the official family is to let Li Shishu go to serve as a deputy envoy of the herd, accumulate some credit, and save others from gossip when he is promoted in the future. Alas, it's just that the ministers don't agree much. ”

In principle, the content of the deliberations in the hall cannot be discussed outside, let alone mentioned to the parties, and Li Zhang naturally knows this rule. Xu Ping is a steady person, rarely does anything out of the ordinary, and now when he sees Xu Ping take the initiative to mention it, he knows that this matter is only afraid that it is not so simple. Hurriedly asked, "Brother, is this a good thing or a bad thing for my father?" ”

"Nature is a good thing. Let me tell you, according to the will of the officials, I am afraid that the edict will still come down. You go back and tell Uncle Li Shi, don't shirk, the minister didn't agree, and he was afraid that the appointment would not succeed if he pushed it. Our two families are close friends, and Uncle Li Shishu went to serve as the deputy envoy of the herd, which is a good thing for both public and private. If you want to change someone, you don't have to say anything, if you want to learn the method of my Zhuangzi, how do you learn it? This is my method, why should others get the credit!
