Chapter 91 You Just Do It
Before he knew it, the wind blew on his face with the water vapor in the Bian River, and suddenly blew his dizzy mind. ︾ Xu Chang shook his head suddenly and returned to reality.
Seeing Sun Wanglou today is like a big dream. He has lived for more than 30 years, eating, drinking, listening, and playing, all of which Xu Chang has never experienced before. Before coming, Xu Chang wanted to imagine it, but he never expected that there was such a group of people in Kaifeng City, who had such amazing energy. He was not an official, but better than an official.
On New Year's Day, Kaifeng City was very lively. The avenues by the Bian River were crowded with people, and vendors selling food and children's toys were shuttled through the crowd. Everyone's face was filled with smiles. The New Year is a happy day.
Xu Chang specially bought some snacks and toys like mud tigers that he brought to his children. He held these things in his hands. Xu Chang still felt that he was tall and shallow, as if he was stepping on a pile of clouds, and it was not like he was in the world.
As he walked to his home outside Wansheng Gate step by step, Xu Chang felt exhausted and had a layer of sweat on his body. I don’t know if he was tired of walking or the cold sweat that was scared.
Liu Xiaoyi was leading his horse at the door, preparing to go back to the Xu family restaurant on the other side of the Bian River.
Seeing Xu Chang walking to the door, he sat on the dismount stone in front of the door, with a pale face, and hurried over and asked, "What's going on with the supervisor? Are you feeling uncomfortable? After a while, I'll call the doctor."
"No, I'm fine! I'm just a little anxious on the road." Xu Chang grabbed Liu Xiaoyi who turned around, "You went out with the official. Are you back? Have you been back?"
Liu Xiaoyi turned around and said, "I'm back. I've just returned not long after. I'm back with the officials and am about to go back to the restaurant to watch. There are many customers today. The supervisor is really okay? It looks like you have something wrong."
"It's okay, I'll just sit and rest." Xu Chang let go of Liu Xiaoyi, sat on the stone and lowered his head and thought about something.
Seeing that Xu Chang didn't look sick, Liu Xiaoyi was worried about the things in the restaurant, and said, "Since the supervisor is fine, I will go first. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to see the doctor."
Xu Chang nodded, waved his hand, and asked Liu Xiaoyi to go.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyi had gone far, Xu Chang took a few deep breaths, adjusted his breath, went into the gate, and went straight to Xu Ping.
Lin Suniang took Panpan and Zhang Sanniang and other women to the street to watch the fun. Xu Ping was alone in the study, preparing the memorial to be submitted after the festival. This was the emperor's personal instructions and should not be careless.
The content of this memorial is second-hand. Xu Ping had already thought about it in his heart. The key was to find a suitable title. Emperor Zhao Zhen repeatedly ordered to use the real seal. Even he knew the sensitivity of this content, so Xu Ping had to be careful.
The memorials in this era are divided into solid seals and Tongfeng. The solid seal is a secret music. The music is sealed. There are fixed standards for what format is used and even how the music is folded. Tongfeng is an ordinary music. Tongjinshi will check the format and text. The content of the music is not confidential. As long as you are interested, you can find out what anyone says in the music.
There are specific regulations on what content should be sealed with real seals, and what content should be sealed with full seals. It is not a seal that the person who reports the message should be sealed with any seal. The person who reports the message should be sealed with full seals. The person who should not use a seal with full seals should be sealed with full seals. The same staff should be twenty. Although the board will not really hit the body when you reach this official position, the stains in the career will be recorded in your own prosecutors and will also give a speech to those who don’t like it.
Generally speaking, the seal is for official documents to all government offices, such as the Secretariat, the Privy Council and the Dali Temple. The seal is usually submitted to the emperor for reading. The contents involved in the seal are mainly about local officials' local interests, gains and losses, and then involves secrets of border affairs, and there are other prescribed items.
It seems that as long as the emperor does not pursue the memorial, it will be fine. In fact, this is not the case. First, most of the people who submit to the imperial examination are also people in the palace. Generally, female officials who are introspective of the minister will read it first and then come to the emperor after drawing up a preliminary opinion. If there is any problem with the format, they will be stuck at this step. Unless it is not implemented, they will still have to be sent to the specific yamen. If the content of the memorial is not in line with the format, they will be grabbed by the braid.
It is proposed to abolish the border and take over the law and carry out reforms, and no matter what, the Central Secretariat and the Privy Council cannot avoid it. Therefore, Xu Ping must think of a suitable name, submit memorials in other terms, and stuff these contents into it.
When Xu Chang entered the study, Xu Ping was lying on the desk and pondering. The fragrance on the side had already burned for a long time, and the green smoke of Xiaoxiao floated in the study, exuding a clear and peaceful aura.
"Dalang, Dalang—"
Xu Chang walked to the desk and called softly.
Xu Ping suddenly raised his head, saw Xu Chang, rubbed his eyes and said, "When is it? Is it dark?"
"Not yet, the sun has not set yet."
Xu Ping looked out the window and saw that the sun was still bright, and it was not even in the evening. He let out a sigh: "I was thinking about things, but I fell asleep somehow. By the way, what's wrong with the supervisor looking for me?"
Xu Chang's expression suddenly became heavy and he nodded: "If you have something to do, you have to discuss this with Dalang."
Seeing Xu Chang's expression, Xu Ping knew it was not a trivial matter. He woke up and said to Xu Chang: "Come on, sit down here and talk slowly. Anyway, I have nothing to do now."
Although Xu Ping and his family treated Xu Chang as their own family, Xu Chang himself followed the rules of the master and servant, and did not sit down, but just stood by the table.
After sighing first, Xu Chang said: "This morning, after Dalang and Brother Xiaoyi went out, I also went out, thinking about visiting a few familiar friends. But I didn't expect that, but I opened my eyes-"
Xu Chang then explained in detail how he met Sun Wanglou and how he made an appointment to drink and celebrate together on New Year's Day. After that, he went to Bianhe, how he entered that restaurant, what he saw and what he had told him. After that, he carefully looked at Xu Ping's face and felt uneasy.
Xu Ping was silent for a while and reorganized what Xu Chang said in his mind. Thanks to those movies and TV series that were full of imagination in his previous life, Xu Ping did not feel a little surprised at Xu Chang's experience.
The Sansi was one of the yamen with the most public officials in the capital, and it was extremely professional. Since Xu Ping entered the Salt and Iron Department, although there was no public officials in front of him, Xu Ping still felt something wrong.
Compared with the three officials, the judge and deputy officials were not allowed to serve for a long time. The case files in the three officials' yamen were as high as a mountain, and each had different formats. If you only went in for a year or a half, with the efficiency of this era, you would not even recognize the format of official documents, let alone handle specific matters.
Even if it was a long time, officials of the three departments still rely heavily on their subordinates' public officials. There are many trivial matters, and the subordinates' public officials will do whatever they want. The officials have no energy to interfere in one by one. In this case, it is as strange that the subordinates' public officials do not use small tricks as if the sun would rise from the West. Xu Ping has always been unwilling to accept that he cannot get news that the subordinates' public officials use their power to gain profits, and he has no way to start if he wants to prevent them.
In order to prevent public officials from being treacherous, many officials often make a move as soon as they take office, such as random checks, sending trustworthy people to inquire in private, and catching a few heavy punishments. Most of them can ensure that the official will be smooth and smooth.
Xu Ping is different. He is a person who is used to doing specific affairs. After taking office, he spent a lot of energy to review the case files and released them separately if they found any questions. However, Xu Ping soon discovered that the case files he released were not required to specifically instruct his subordinates to do what to do, and they would handle these loopholes properly.
In other words, these public officials did not know what was wrong, but they knew it very well, but they left the problem there for various reasons. Xu Ping promoted the sugar sugar service in Yongzhou. These public officials had already seen the style of sugar service and had the reputation of defeating the Shenglong Mansion to capture the King of Jiaozhi. The public officials did not want to touch Xu Ping's bad intentions and were careful to serve him.
However, in this way, the public officials under him were completely sloppy, which completely left Xu Ping unable to find a handle, and the officials were comfortable and appropriate, but the idea of improving the defects of the yamen was unable to mention.
After hearing Xu Chang's words, Xu Ping realized that the treacherousness of these public officials was beyond his expectations. The reason why they did not show it in front of him was because they felt that it was risky to do so. They could make a living in the power field of the capital. These public officials were versatile and talked to others, and there was no obvious handle left to others.
These people approached Xu Chang so deliberately, which only explained one problem. They had already smelled the wind and the method of tea was probably changed soon. Since it was too expensive to start from Xu Ping, we would find a way out from the people around him.
These people are not afraid that Xu Chang will come back and tell Xu Ping about the matter. Who can they hide from in the capital for so many years? It’s just that those who know do not know, those who want to know do not know, and those who want to do nothing, and those who want to do nothing.
Xu Chang has been in the capital for less than a year or two. He has seen so many people in the restaurant, but none of them know each other, which means that they have already made preparations. It is just that friends meet and have a luxurious banquet.
Seeing that Xu Ping had not spoken for a long time, Xu Chang asked in a low voice: "Dalang, what should I do? I don't think it's better to not meet these people in the future. It's not good to get involved with them. Most of them are illegal and criminal matters. But if you turn aside, these people are in all walks of life in the capital. I'm afraid that our family will suffer any losses at any time."
"No need, they ask you, just go!" Xu Ping stood up and took two steps back and forth. "If you have food, you can eat, and if you have something to drink, you can drink, you don't have to be polite to them!"
"But - they must be asking Dalang for information from me. If they miss it for a moment, what should we do? I won't worry, and it will be a burden to Dalang's future by then-"
"You will say whatever they ask. Anyway, I never talk about business at home. As long as I know it, I will not be afraid that they will know. You don't have to worry, I have my own ideas!"
Speaking of this, Xu Ping's eyes lit up. He suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing to get involved in such a group of people. It might be beneficial to him to completely mess up the matter.
