Tang's dining table

Social process is a very interesting thing.

After the great changes occurred in Chang'an, the emperor also underwent great changes. After the emperor's methods of doing things changed greatly, the nobles closest to him also underwent great changes.

Then, the whole world is changing, but the speed and scope of the change are in a gradual pattern. In short, the world has changed, deviating from the original trajectory of history, and rushing towards another road with smoke and dust billowing all the way.

Because people are alive. In the past countless years, they have encountered countless disasters, but they finally survived. How can this big change be an exception?

In fact, as long as there is change, it is good, but I am afraid that it is a pool of stagnant water. If there is no clear direction and I don’t know which road to take, I may be able to find a new path by tossing and tossing like this. , because there is no accurate standard for success.

When Yun Chu was the director of the sub-district office, there was a famous saying at their level - a blind person can improve his work, and a bad person can move out of the province.

Therefore, the key to being an official is to be diligent.

The journey from Luoyang to Chang'an was not long, and the road was flat. Even if they walked slowly, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi still arrived in Chang'an.

After crossing Baqiao, Wu Sansi felt very heavy. Until now, that bastard Yunchu was still working as a monk in Guangfu Temple and refused to come out to replace them.

Before coming, the queen made it very clear that it was best not to be contaminated with anything from Wannian County, and it was best not to contact any officials in Wannian County, nor to accept the filial piety of Chang'an merchants, nor to have anything to do with anyone in Zhou Gong's Mansion. implicated.

Therefore, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi just crossed Baqiao and rested in Guanyi here.

The two brothers had already made up their mind to accept the appointment of the Ministry of Officials in this hotel, and then immediately went to the Queen's Tangchi Courtyard in Lishan to bathe, eat, sleep, and play with the palace maids... As for Chang'an, Neither of them thought about it.

The Queen's words are correct. As long as they don't get involved in Chang'an's affairs, the biggest crime is just to put a corpse on top of it. It's his mother's corpse. What else can the Emperor do to their brothers?

"Why don't you go to work in Wannian County?"

It was King Yong Li Xian who questioned the two brothers.

Wu Sansi, who has a sharp tongue, said: "We brothers just come to Wannian County to make a name for ourselves, so that Wannian County will not be without a chief official for a long time and make the local people panic."

Li Xian looked at the Wu brothers angrily and said, "His Majesty sent you to Wannian County just to make a living, earn a salary, and gain fame?"

Wu Chengsi thought for a moment and didn't know how to answer. After all, what Li Xian said was not wrong at all.

When Li Xian saw that the Wu brothers were silent, he became even more angry. Before the emperor appointed the Wu brothers to serve as magistrates and magistrates of Wannian County, he had volunteered for the job, hoping that the emperor would allow him, King Yong, who was in control of Guanzhong, to take over Wannian County. Nian County, in the end, was ruthlessly rejected by the emperor.

It would have been fine if his father had sent officials and famous ministers, but instead he sent the Wu brothers who were like pigs and dogs. This made Li Xian, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, endure it.

In Luoyang, Prince Li Hong had already gained the respect and love of the courtiers, and he had no place for him as King Yong for a long time. Unexpectedly, he wanted to run Chang'an well, but he was still blocked by his father.

"Wannian County has not had a chief official for two years, which has resulted in the various government officials in Chang'an being unable to make progress in the past two years. Since my father has sent you brothers to serve in Wannian County, it means that you can be trusted. You should be diligent in political affairs. , the most important thing is to appease the people of Wannian County."

Wu Sansi lowered his head and listened honestly to Yong Wangxian's scolding. However, listening, listening, he looked at the large group of scribes behind Yong Wangxian out of the corner of his eyes, and suddenly felt that this should be a golden cicada for their brothers. good opportunity.

Who is Yun Chu?

That is a despicable and unreasonable butcher.

A bastard who dared to beat their brother at the Taishan Conferment Ceremony.

Such a bastard would easily hand over a fat Wannian County to their brother?

Moreover, Yun Chu has been running Chang'an for more than ten years, and Wannian County is the core of his core. I am afraid that Wannian County, from top to bottom, should be Yun Chu's spies.

Yun Chu didn't show up for a long time, maybe he was waiting for their brothers to step into the big trap of Wannian County... Now... Yong Wangxian seems to be very interested in Wannian County... It's better...

Thinking of this, Wu Sansi stepped in and saluted: "Your Highness knows that we two brothers are still young and have no experience in how to be an official. When we came here, the queen specifically told us to ask our superiors for advice and not to be too easy. What bad changes to make.

We only need to see that the officials in Wannian County do not make any mistakes, and we brothers also need time to rest and recuperate in the Queen's courtyard in Lishan, so there is no rush to take office. "

Chang'an, in theory, falls under the rule of Yong Wangxian. Just as Li Shen, the king of Ji, was the governor of Yongzhou in the past, the current chief governor of Yongzhou is Yongwang Xian.

When Ji Wang Li Shen served as the Grand Governor in Chang'an, his greatest authority was to open a street-facing gate for Jinchangfang in Yunchu. This gate was exempt from the jurisdiction of Chang'an's bell and drum curfew, and the officials inside could open the door in Fangshi. , behind closed doors, free to come and go.

And this incident was almost the most outrageous thing that King Ji Li Shen did when he was the governor of Yongzhou.

It was obvious that Yong Wangxian did not have as urgent a sense of crisis as Ji Wang Li Shen. At this moment, his eyes looking at the Wu brothers softened, and he nodded and said: "Since you brothers want to put your efforts in the Queen Mother's Lishan Villa It is reasonable to say that he cannot take up the post of Wannian County immediately. No matter how big the matter is in the Tang Dynasty, it is not as big as the matter of his mother.

In this case, I, the Governor, will dispatch officials from the mansion to temporarily handle official duties on your behalf. After you have dealt with the affairs of the Queen Mother's Courtyard, it will not be too late to take over! "

The Wu Sansi brothers looked at each other. Wu Sansi licked his dry lips and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Your Highness. We brothers only have respect for Your Highness. You must appoint officials from the royal palace to handle Wannian County government affairs." It's very good, I'm afraid the officials won't allow it."

Yong Wangxian sneered and said, "I will go and tell you after the officials from the Ministry of Personnel arrive."

Wu Sansi knelt down on one knee and said, "Please give me a teaching order from Your Highness."

Yongwang Xian heroically threw a Yongwang token to Wu Sansi and left the inn with a group of people. He also told the guards in front of Wu Sansi that he ordered the officials who came to deliver the order to meet him at Yongwang's Mansion in Chang'an.

Watching Yong Wangxian and others leave the Baqiao Station, Wu Sansi put Yong Wang's order in his mouth and took a bite. After confirming that the gold plate was indeed the Yong Wang order, the two brothers immediately jumped on a carriage. He repeatedly urged the servants to leave the inn and go straight to the Lishan Queen's Tangchi Villa...

After hearing the news, Li Ji, who was having a banquet, showed a little disappointment in his eyes. When he saw everyone stopped drinking, he waved and laughed and said, "Let's drink, let's dance..."

Wannian County Registrar Shen Ru stood at the gate of Wannian County's government office early in the morning, waiting for the newly appointed county magistrate and county magistrate. The original county magistrate Zhang Jia had been promoted to Taiyang magistrate, and was waiting for the Wu brothers to come. Taking office.

Ever since he failed to resign and was arrested to continue serving as chief clerk, Shen Ru was on pins and needles and was in a state of panic all day long. In just two months, his temples were already covered with white hair.

However, it will be fine from today on. As long as the county magistrate and county magistrate take office, he, the third-ranked bookkeeper of the county government, can take a leave of absence for a while. For this reason, Shen Ru even built a building in the Imperial Hospital. In the ward, I am going to ask the doctors in the hospital to help me take good care of my body and make up for the losses I have suffered during this period, so that I can show off my talents after the prince returns.

Before the one hundred and eight sounds on the drum tower stopped, Shen Ru saw a dozen people hurriedly arriving at the Wannian County Yamen. He took a closer look and found that the leader was actually known to him. He was the former chief registrar of Dushui Supervisor. , today's Prince Yong's Mansion washes Liu Nayan's horse.

Seeing Liu Nayan walking in a hurry, Shen Ru walked up to him in confusion and said, "Brother Liu, what business do you have in my Wannian County?"

Before Liu Nayan could speak, a middle-aged man with a long beard behind him shouted: "How shameless, why don't you come forward to pay homage to the Lord of Wannian County!"

Shen Ru looked at the crowd in confusion and said, "Isn't that right? The official document I received from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that the one who came to serve as county magistrate was Wu Chengsi, and the one who took over as county magistrate was the two Marquis Wu Sansi."

Liu Nayan waved his hand and stopped Shi Zangjie, the leader of the left army of Prince Yong's palace who looked concerned, from his attack. He said to Shen Ru with a kind face: "Brothers Wu have no time to come and take office because they have to pay attention to the renovation of the Queen's Tangchi Villa in Lishan. Prince Yong His Highness was worried that Wannian County would be without a chief official for a long time, which would cause delays in government affairs, so he intercepted the official documents in the name of Yongzhou Governor and Yongzhou Mu, and ordered me to temporarily handle Wannian County government affairs with Shi Zangjie, the left leader of the Yongwang Mansion, etc. The two marquises of the Wu family were busy finishing the affairs of Lishan Tangchi and then returned the power to them.

Although Master Shen is relieved, His Highness King Yong is only worried about state affairs and there is nothing wrong with him. "

Shen Ru's eyes widened and he roared: "Wannian County is an important weapon of the country, how can the rise and fall of its chief officials be such a child's play?"

Shi Zangjie sneered: "Master Shen, are you questioning His Highness King Yong?"

Shen Ru shook his head violently and said: "Your Majesty sent me to be the chief registrar of Wannian County. He will definitely not allow such a ridiculous thing to happen. I will report it to you, and I will report it to Your Majesty immediately..."

Before Shen Ru could scream even louder, Shi Zangjie waved his hand and immediately rushed forward with two palm guards, carrying the roaring Shen Ru away from the county government office.

Although Liu Nayan and Shi Zangjie had disdain in their eyes, they did not see the strong envy in the eyes of the trembling little officials present.

Shen Ru, the dignified registrar of Wannian County, was carried away from Dongshi by two palm guards and dumped directly on Zhuque Street. Even though the two palm guards had left, Shen Ru was still sitting on the street, slapping the ground and roaring. .
