Chapter 154 Official Affairs
When he arrived at the Ministry of Personnel, the imperial city departments, temples and supervisors were also in the yamen. They were still far away. Tang Li saw Du Fu, wearing a new prince blue round-necked satin shirt, waiting in front of the disaster department. Even though he pretended to be reserved, his tight hands leaked the details.
"No, not bad. This shirt is the craft of Wu Niang of the Du family in Xi'an!" He walked up and looked Du Fu over and over. Tang Li said with a smile: "Sure enough, a man leans on his clothes and horses lean on his saddle. Brother Zimei seems to be at least ten years younger today. Let's go in!"
After waiting for more than ten years, Du Fu is now standing at the gate of the Ministry of Personnel. He is excited and nervous, so he doesn't argue with Tang Li. He just smiled and walked inward.
When he walked into the lintel of the Ministry of Personnel, Du Fu made a chest-tightening or unintentional move, while Tang Li next to him smiled and greeted someone: "Okay, Old Yang, I just went to the yamen to work well in the Ministry of Revenue, so I came to visit the Ministry of Personnel early in the morning. You Sima Zhao's heart deserved to be involved in the door and you will not lose money!" The Censorate is the direct opposite of the Ministry of Personnel, so Tang Li said this because of this.
"I am a errand runner who does hard work, what are you good at? You are not staying in the palace, so why are you here to do? "When you saw Tang Li early in the morning, Yang Yuzhao was also very happy, and he didn't like any bowing gifts between colleagues. He walked up and raised his hand and patted the top scholar's shoulder," I heard that yesterday in Linde Hall, don't love the [Mulan Ci] you made a big splash. Unfortunately, my brother is young and has no luck!"
"This is Jiannan Yang Yuzhao, currently the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Department, and a serious and powerful figure. "After saying this, Tang Li pointed to Du Fu and said, "Old Yang, this is what I am talking about in Huazhou Du Zimei. In terms of poetry, he is definitely the best person in this dynasty. If you get closer in the future, you will also be more literary."
The Ministry of Revenue Department is responsible for judging the world's rent and taxes, the benefits of water and land, and based on this plan, it can be regarded as one of the most powerful departments among the six ministries of the Imperial City. As a deputy of our department, Tang Li's words "real power" are not exaggerated at all.
"Du Zimei from Huazhou met Yang Yuanwai." Du Fu's actions during the ceremony were really meticulous.
Hearing the three words "Yang Yuanwai", Yang Yuzhao frowned slightly, then smiled and said with a polite greeting: "If you can say "其六", Brother Zimei must be a great poet, and you must ask for advice in another day. "After saying this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Brother Zimei is afraid he doesn't know! Just two months ago, a scholar from Guizhou Road, somehow recognized the carriage of the carriage. After the scattered yamen, he blocked him on Zhuque Street. He insisted on appreciating his poems, but he said politely, "Not good".
Life actually put on the tiger's skin and set up a banner. No matter where he went, he opened his mouth to say goodbye to me. The person who first saw him was respectful to him. When he saw his poems again, he was only peaceful at most. Even for this matter, he also talked a lot about other people's poems or talents. So! He never easily talked about other people's poems or poetry skills, but today it is rare to praise Brother Zimei like this! Unfortunately, this is in the Ministry of Personnel of the Imperial City. If he changes the literary venue, just rely on the praise of the saying "Brother Zimei should be called Chang'an!"
"Old Yang, don't recite the crooked monk here. Tell me, what did you do when you came to the Ministry of Personnel early in the morning? "Tang Li is still clear about how many pounds you have. Although the matter of the Taoist priest in Qianzhong is not false, Lao Yang said this in front of Du Fu like this, especially the last few words. It really made Tang Li feel a little frigid when he got it.
"I'm going to hide my love from you, Brother Yu has taken a new concubine, and now he is coming to Sifeng to report the matter." When talking about the newly acquired concubine, Yang Yuzhao laughed first without waiting for Tang Li to tease him.
The Ministry of Personnel Division is responsible for the title of the country, the system of the wife and the wife of the official, and the title of the mother. With Yang Yuzhao's current duties, in addition to the wife, there are two places to be enfeoffed by the concubines. He came to do this.
"The sister-in-law Xiao Tao has just taken it for a while! You're looking for another one, double axes to cut the osmanthus, Lao Yang, please take a little bit of your body." After teasing, Tang Li turned to the topic: "Yesterday, Brother Zimei got his Majesty to take some of his position as the chief master. I'm here to do this today. Lao Yang, are you familiar with the landlords of the Ministry of Personnel? If you are familiar with each other, go in together, so that it's easier to talk."
Seeing that Du Fu could actually invite Tang Li, who was indifferent to the officials, Yang Yuzhao couldn't help but turn his head and look at Du Fu again, then smiled and said, "Don't love you, your face is bigger than me, and you need me?" He joked, but he was already walking inside first. "I'm not familiar with the two members of the Ministry of Personnel, but I have a good relationship with the doctor Li Qi. He said that he has some relatives with your tigress, otherwise he can't get to the position of the first department of these six departments. In fact, you don't need to send someone to spread a message at all, but he can't do it?"
Hearing this, Tang Li was walking in, but he smiled and said nothing. There were so many yamen in the imperial city, government affairs halls and three provinces, and the Ministry of Personnel were the first in each department, temple, and supervisor. The Ministry of Personnel was the chief officer in charge of the rank of officials and the chief officer in charge of the selection of officials. The Ministry of Personnel was the most powerful. His father-in-law was currently the position of the Minister of Personnel, but after all, he had to be busy with many things. The chief officer of the Ministry of Personnel was actually used as half of the Secretary of the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel. In such an important position, it would be strange if Li Qi had no relatives with Li Tengjiao. However, although this person was only a fifth-rank doctor, he had great power. With his current identity, he was far from qualified to call such a hot person.
After walking in like this, just as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Personnel, Tang Li heard a voice with a slightly Hedong accent inside and said in a full voice: "A strong wife and a weak husband, strong inside and soft outside, and a monogamous wife cannot be banned. How can the people clean up? Since the wife does not cultivate ethics, what is the spirit of the husband? It is a grace to not deposed an official like you, so why are you still entangled in our company?"
The three of them entered the Ministry of Personnel and saw an official in his thirties who was over thirty years old and wearing seventh-rank regular clothes respectfully listening to one person's scolding. Tang Liyuan thought that a person who was full of energy must be a big man like this. Who knew that when he saw him, he realized that he was a thin half-old man, nearly fifty years old, with a thin strand of muscles, and the smallest official uniform was shaking when he was wearing him.
The person who looked like a half-skinny old man was Li Qi, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel. When he saw that Yang Yuzhao came in, he sent the seventh-rank official who was so embarrassed that his face was flushed away in a few words, and walked towards the three of them and said, "Old Yang, why have you had time to come to visit me?" He greeted Yang Yuzhao while looking at Tang Li and the other two.
Yang Yuzhao was about to speak, but when he saw Li Qi's face move, he smiled and bowed to Tang Li, "Old Yang introduced that the person who is so old and so handsome in the imperial city must be my top scholar sister-in-law."
When Yang Yuzhao was having a drink with Li Qi in Pingkangfang last time, he heard him boast that in terms of seniority, he should be the cousin of the new top scholar. Who knew that when the two met today, they immediately became peers. It was really funny to think about it. But he naturally couldn't say this. So he smiled and praised Li Qi for his good eyesight, and introduced Du Fu as well.
Li Qi didn't care much about Du Fu. He nodded a little and even though he had seen the ceremony, he kept greeting Tang Li. Seeing that Tang Li bowed to salute, he hurriedly blocked him with a smile and said, "The copy of my sister-in-law's promotion was just prepared by me. Now everyone is of the same level. How can I be the ceremony? If my sister-in-law wants to salute me, I may also say "Sir Tang" to be called "Sir Tang."
"What are you fighting a mystery?" Yang Yuzhao went to the yamen later today, so he didn't know the news that Tang Li was promoted, but he was the first smart man to know the beginning and end. After a moment, he understood and said with a smile: "Don't be promoted?"
The outside is the head of the Ministry of Personnel, the accountant, and the office of the officials, and the staff are very complicated. After hearing Yang Yuzhao's question, Li Qi did not answer, but just told several people to have tea in his office.
After entering the office room, Li Qi smiled and said, "Old Yang, you are not well-informed this time. Just this morning, Your Majesty personally issued an edict to promote my sister-in-law to the magistrate of Wannian County from the fifth rank, and also awarded the title of "Kai Nunzi".
"Okay, you are a little bitch. Even if you get the title, I even hide it. I will punish you! I should punish you!" After hearing this news, Yang Yuzhao was very happy and said that he wanted Tang Li to treat him. Du Fu only knew about this now, and he also congratulated Lianlian.
After a little trouble, several people sat down to talk. Tang Li was not polite and told Du Fu directly.
Tang Li has been in office for the Palace of the Ministry of Education. He has passed by the imperial city almost every day and never entered the official office. Today, for Du Fu, he went this trip. Just looking at this, Li Qi also knew that Du Zimei had an extraordinary relationship with Tang Li. He said that he wanted to place a ninth rank chief official, and the emperor himself, and did not want him to make things difficult for him. He put away the official words and said directly: "This matter, the Political Affairs Hall has not yet written to the department. I will send someone to see it now. If there is any official document, we will do it immediately."
"Old Li, you're a fool, Brother Zimei is just not in love, how can you not do it? Now that I have gone this way, no matter what, you should arrange for Brother Zimei to have a good lack of money, the ninth rank chief, and there are no less than a hundred people in the entire six ministries. They are both in charge. The difference between the chief of your Ministry of Personnel and the chief of the Ministry of Rites and the chief of the Ministry of Rites is one in heaven and one underground. I know that the population of the Ministry of Personnel is tight, but now I have already sat here. You, the cousin, don't make a statement!" At the critical moment, Yang Yuzhao was not ambiguous at all. These words were the most appropriate for him.
Li Qigang asked someone to go to the Political Affairs Hall to get official documents. When he heard Lao Yang's words, he turned around and pointed at Yang Yuzhao with a smile. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Tang Li and said, "The officials, households and military departments are not short of officials, households, and military departments. The Ministry of Rites is not short of necessities, but it's better not to go to that place, the Ministry of Justice! There is a chief of officials just now Ding You, and this is not bad, but the disadvantage is that they work too hard and need to be in the local government for half a year. After all, the best one now is the Ministry of Works Military Field Department. What if you arrange this unknown sister-in-law?"
The Ministry of Works' Military Farming Department is in charge of the world's military farming orders. The transfer and supply system of the border defense army is under his jurisdiction. Although this place is not as good as the officials and the heads of the second department of the household, it is really a famous Feique in the six ministries. After hearing Li Qi say this, Tang Li was not satisfied with anything. When he signaled Du Fu to thank him, he smiled and said to Li Qi: "My cousin is the duty to do things for my sister-in-law, and it seems apart when he says thanks! It's just that he has been married to Tengjiao for many days and has not visited my cousin's house. This is really a rude thing for me to be a sister-in-law. It's better to choose a date to meet. I will hold a banquet at noon today. I will not give up on my love house just to apologize to my cousin. My brother cannot refuse."
Seeing that Tang Li was so intimate, Li Qi was also happy. He nodded and agreed, while saying, "My sister-in-law can talk."
Things came to this point, and Yang Yuzhao asked in a smile: "Old Li, what did that official did when we came in just now? It made you scold him like a grandson."
Speaking of what happened just now, Li Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "That was a county magistrate from Dongdao of Shandong Province. He was a Jinshi, read well, and made poetry. He was too soft-hearted and afraid that his wife would be scared. The wife he married was the most domineering jealous woman. At the end of last year, he invited a female slave to sing the song at the living room. But before the song was halfway, his wife Yan broke in barefoot with a knife and broke her sword. It didn't count the guests, but the female slave also fled in a hurry. The county magistrate hid under the couch and did not dare to stretch his head. This matter was once a joke in Jiangnan. What do you think such an official can do? This year, Renman was transferred and the Ministry of Personnel arranged for him to be the county magistrate in Guiyang, but he was dissatisfied and came to tangle again and again. It was really annoying."
After hearing what Li Qi said, everyone smiled, smiled and agreed to meet at the Farewell Love Building at noon, and then they left.
As soon as he walked out of the Ministry of Personnel, Yang Yuzhao smiled strangely. Until he left the Ministry of Personnel, Tang Li couldn't help but ask: "Old Yang, why are you playing with the mystery?"
"I am Lao Li," Yang Yuzhao smiled and lowered his voice slightly, "Don't look at what Lao Li said about happiness, in fact, he is a famous person in the imperial city who is afraid of his wife. His wife Pei was born in a wealthy family and has great fortune. Lao Li has arrived at this position now. Although there are many beautiful maids in the mansion, he dare not accept it. Later, he begged the sister-in-law of the Pei family to leave a female slave by his side, but she was just holding clothes and serving food, so she dared not touch her body. Later, Lao Li was forced to make an effort and came to ask the maid around her to report if the maid was shampooing her hair. Once the maid came to report her hair, and Lao Li pretended to be
The abdominal pain was so an opportunity to summon a female slave to come and make a good thing happen. Unexpectedly, the maid next to Mrs. Pei also reported that Old Li had a stomachache. Mrs. Pei was wearing her hair and hurried to see Old Li's illness. Now that things have come, Old Li could only continue to pretend to be insufficiency. When Mrs. Pei was anxious, she used the boy's peeing medicine to let him drink. This was reported by his family in his mansion, and there was no falsehood! I heard that Old Li himself sighed: 'Nothing can be accomplished, it is necessary to be a part of it. The suffering is to swallow a cup of drowning!' "At this point, Yang Yuzhao couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't love, do you say, is Old Li laughing fifty steps? "
When Du Fu heard this story about Lao Li, he forced himself to endure it, but Tang Li had already laughed out loud, "Old Yang, your mouth is really hurt."
"Just the power of your tigress, I think you are laughing at fifty steps now." As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yuzhao had already avoided Tang Li and walked towards the Ministry of Revenue.
Tang Li jogged Yang Yuzhao for a moment, and saw that he had gone far away, turned his head and smiled at Du Fu, "Don't listen to his stinky mouth."
Du Fu was so polite that he laughed at this matter, but he never interrupted him. After hearing what Tang Li said, he just smiled and didn't interrupt.
It was still early, and on the way to Jiaofangsi, Tang Li hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but say, "Brother Zimei is about to take office, but I have something to say."
"Don't worry, please tell me."
"Learn from literature and martial arts, or with the imperial family. If you want to say, no one of the scholars in the world doesn't want to come to the imperial city. But these yamen look at the glory outside. If you buy it, it's not that true. Once Brother Zimei enters the Ministry of Works, you need to be careful." At this point, Tang Li pondered for a moment and continued: "It's a bit in vain to be a master, so I'm not worried about official business. Instead, these daily trivialities are really troublesome. For example, when I met Lao Yang just now, Brother Zimei needs to pay attention to the title."
"Oh?" Du Fu's eyes were a little confused.
"When we meet again, if Brother Zimei wants to be an official position, he will call him Yang Lang. If he doesn't want to be an official position, he will call him Lord Yang."
"Only the doctor who is the chief official of each department can be called a Langguan? The doctor who is the fifth rank, while the deputy official has only the sixth rank. Isn't this absurd?"
"Zhen Wailang, after all, he still has the word "Lang" and is not an example to call him "Langguan". Who doesn't want to be promoted to a doctor? It's auspicious to call this, and he feels comfortable in his ears. Wouldn't that be good?" Seeing Du Fu's serious look, Tang Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He said that he was really conflicted now. On the one hand, he wanted to say more so that Du Fu's career would be smoother, but on the other hand, he was afraid that these worldly things would be too much to be contaminated by his poetic heart. It was because of such concerns that many things originally wanted to say deeply, so he endured it back, but he just added with a smile: "The world is clear and knowledgeable, and it is also a good article. With Zimei and brothers, they can understand it clearly as soon as they enter the Ministry of Works, so there is no need for me to talk too much."
Needless to say, the banquet was lively at the farewell building. That afternoon, Du Fu had already taken the position of the head of the Ministry of Works' Department of Temperature. A jealous fat man was so clean and neat that it really made the officials of the imperial city look at the efficiency of the Ministry of Personnel. People from all walks of life in the Ministry of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of not only the doctors of the Ministry of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of Works' Department of not only the doctors of the Ministry of Works' Department of War, but also the heads of the other three departments came to greet him. This was also the officialdom, so I won't go into detail here.
He resigned from the Bieqinglou at noon, and Tang Li was really busy in the palace in the afternoon. He said that his main position is the Chang'an County Magistrate, and he must not be in the Jiaofangs as often as before, so there are many things to explain. After receiving congratulations from everyone, he called the King of Commander to the office alone.
The King of Kings followed Tang Li for a long time. He knew that Shangguan was not a good person to set off a blank shot. At this time, he heard Shangguan hand over the executive of the Jiaofangsi in the palace, and his words also mentioned the future. How could the King of Kings who had been in the ninth rank for ten years not be excited? He was almost patted his chest and promised to do the Jiaofangsi well and not to distract adults.
The matter of the Gongfangsi in the Palace was just a scattered yamen. On the way back to the mansion, Tang Li occasionally saw a shop selling jewelry. Thinking of Ahhang holding the small bag in the morning, he became interested in stopping and walking in.
Thinking about Guan Guan’s thoughts, Tang Li did not take any of those complex and ostentatious jewelry, and finally carefully selected a set of real wax bead-shaped jewelry worth nearly 2,000 stagnant.
When he returned to the mansion, a servant led the accompanying clerk to the account room to settle the settlement. Tang Li was originally planning to change his clothes in the backyard first, but when he passed by the third side yard where Guanguan lived, he stopped a little and walked into the courtyard...
Chapter completed!
