Chapter 80: Follow the rules

In the Yanhe Palace, the lights were bright, as bright as day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Zhen handed over the piece in his hand to the little yellow door beside him, and said to Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng below: "Xu Ping and Wang Yan have already arrived outside the Xinzheng Gate, and the last chapter is restored, do you want them to enter the city overnight?" ”

Lu Yijian took the chapter, read it quickly, handed it to Wang Zeng beside him, and turned to look outside the door: "It's getting late now, and the outer city gate is about to be closed, I'm afraid it's too late." It's not bad for this day, let's wait until tomorrow. ”

The king had read the recital, put it in his sleeve casually, and said, "There is no reason for the city gate to be opened casually, so it is better to wait until tomorrow." Zai Zhi also needs to discuss how to reply to their trip. ”

Zhao Zhen heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why, don't you let them return to the palace tomorrow morning?" It is better to explain the major state affairs clearly in front of the ministers in the palace, and also listen to what the officials in Beijing think. ”

"Of course, it's good to return to the dynasty early, but even if we go back and approve it overnight, it won't reach them until tomorrow, and it's too late anyway. It's better to wait for the early retreat and sit in the palace again when His Majesty summons you. ”

At this time, the opening and closing time of the outer city gate is not strict, but the rule of opening and closing at dawn and closing at night is there, and it will not be closed at this time anyway. The political hall was approved overnight, and the approved can't be sent.

Because of recent events, Zhao Zhen waited a little anxiously.

First of all, Wang Yan made a separate recital, saying that the canal could not be repaired, and accused Xu Ping of being arrogant. As a result, I waited for many days, but I didn't see Xu Ping's recital for himself to come up.

This matter has not calmed down, and Xu Ping and Zhang Dayou have come to impeach themselves because Wang Yan was implicated in a life lawsuit. However, the miraculous thing is that Wang Yan's recital has not been seen after that. The local officials and the envoy of the trip impeached themselves because of Wang Yan's fault, and he himself did not move at all.

The combination of the two things, Zhao Zhen really couldn't figure out what was going on. From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Xu Ping could do things well, but the mission was so weird that he felt bottomless.

Xu Ping's recital does not write about Wang Yan's abnormality in the last few days, with his identity, especially when there is a conflict with Wang Yan, this kind of thing is not easy to comment on. He just wrote about what he had done on his trip without emotion, and roughly described the conclusion that the canal leading Luo into Bian could be dug.

In the face of such a recital, not to mention that Zhao Zhen couldn't figure out what was going on, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng couldn't figure it out either. Originally, the countermeasures they had thought of in their hearts couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts.

It was already late at night, and Xu Ping was sitting in the courtyard of the post house, drinking the fine wine at home. Liu Xiaoyi stood aside and served carefully. Although he didn't enter the city, Xu Ping's mansion was outside the city, he couldn't go home, but the people at home could come over, and no one said anything to send some delicious food.

When officials enter and leave the city, they must register with the city supervisor, and their names, official positions, times, and reasons for leaving the city should be clearly written. Such a record of the city supervisor had to be copied to the Imperial Observatory every day, and even if it was fine, it was recorded there. The place in the Imperial Observatory is different from the Imperial Court, not only can you impeach officials with a mouth, but he remembers that there are black accounts. Once unlucky, they can turn things out of nowhere.

In the past, because his home was outside the city, Xu Ping registered with the city supervisor almost every day, and felt very annoyed. Now that I think about it, there are actually advantages, such as coming back from an errand, at least I can see my family earlier than others.

It's a pity that the parents and children have arrived at Zhongmu's manor, and it will take a few days to see them, otherwise Xu Ping doesn't care when he enters the city. I did it with my heart, and I didn't need to be suspicious.

After a night without words, Xu Ping had a rare good dream.

Early the next morning, Xu Ping washed up, walked out of his residence, and went to the official hall of the post house to see if there was a reply.

When I arrived at the place, I saw Wang Yan already standing there. Today, he was neatly tied, the official robes on his body and the official hat on his head were meticulous, and even his body was straight when he stood there. It was just that his face was blue, tightly tense without any expression, and his eyes were bloodshot, which made Xu Ping confirm that he was not dazzled.

Seeing Xu Ping coming, Wang Yan's posture did not change, he looked up at the sky in the distance, looking worried about the country and the people, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

His official position is higher than him, and his title is higher than him, along with the deputy envoy of the third division, and the deputy envoy of salt and iron is also higher than his deputy envoy of the household department. Wang Yan looked unfathomable, pretending not to see Xu Ping coming, and of course Xu Ping's eyes couldn't see him even more. The boss took the initiative to greet his subordinates, but Xu Ping didn't have that leisure.

Pretending that Wang Yan did not exist, Xu Ping entered the official hall of Yicheng.

Wang Yanlai didn't leave after asking, just waited outside the door like that, which made Yicheng's heart very uneasy, and he didn't know if he had offended the deputy envoy or what, so he sat there and thought vigorously. Since the group entered the post house yesterday, it seems that Deputy Envoy Wang has not said a word, and he should have no place to take care of him......

Just when he was suspicious, when he saw Xu Ping coming in again, he was startled, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Xu Ping ignored his abnormal expression and asked, "Now that the sky is bright and the city gate has already been opened, is there any approved piece of music sent over?" ”

Yi Cheng said: "Just now, Deputy Envoy Wang also came to ask——"

Xu Ping said indifferently: "Yes or no?" You don't have to tell me what you did in a day. ”

Yi Cheng was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Back to be systematized, no." Just now, the newspaper from the palace where the concert hall was delivered, but there was no newly approved concert, so I guess the early dynasty has not retreated. ”

"Perhaps. When my recital is approved, bring it to me immediately without delay. By the way, the new mansion newspaper gave me a copy and had it delivered to my residence. ”

Yi Cheng agreed, and in a panic, he ordered the people around him to prepare the mansion report.

Seeing that Xu Ping turned around to leave, Yi Cheng hurriedly stiffened his head and said: "Wait-to-wait, just now Deputy Envoy Wang said that if the chapter is approved, it must be handed over to him immediately." This, this little one, I really don't know how-"

Wang Yan pretended to be crazy and stupid and walked all the way, but he didn't want to get to the place and get energetic, and he didn't know what he was doing in such a hurry to enter Beijing. No matter how anxious you are, you have to follow the rules, it's okay if the relationship is normal, now that you're in trouble with Xu Ping, how can you take the official document first? Yi Cheng recruited someone to provoke whom, and he was so embarrassed.

Xu Ping saw Yi Cheng looking at him with blank eyes, and said to him: "This kind of thing, can you call the shots?" Even if it's me, I can't mess around. You follow what is written on the paperwork, how to send it, do you understand? (To be continued.) )
