Chapter 65

"Si Ju, please go and welcome Yuwen Guanren for me. I'll wait for him here."

Cai Bian ordered.

Yuwen Xuzhong was the chief secretary of the official family. He saw that he was a senior official, but his official rank and authority were far from that of the Prime Minister. He sent himself to the gate to greet him. He waited at the door of the cabinet, which was in line with the rules.

But Mr. Cai, when is it now? Why do you care about this little face? Yuwen Xuzhong is a close minister of the official family. Now, in a dangerous situation, he needs help to say something in front of the official family and treat him with courtesy so that he can entrust him.

Li Mida reminded him anxiously, Cai Bian glanced at him and replied calmly: "Like a ruler, keep calm!"

Keep your breath! This sentence woke Li Mida like a bronze bell, and helped him calm down from the panic.

Yes, you must be calm at this time. The more you are panicked, the faster you die.

Li Mida took a deep breath and was about to turn around to greet him. When he saw the "Fengge Newspaper" he brought on the table, he was about to reach out and put it away, but was stopped by Cai Bian.

“Just put it on the table.”

After a while, Yuwen Xuzhong, under the respectful guidance of Li Mida, walked into the corridor of the pavilion. Cai Bian stood at the door of the pavilion and greeted him with a smile.

"Shutong, what wind has blown you to me?"

"It was the official who asked me to bring two things to Mr. Cai." Yuwen Xuzhong replied straight to the point.

Things? Cai Bian's heart trembled, and he led Yuwen Xuzhong into the room quietly, and then sat down.

Cai Bian noticed that Yuwen Xuzhong saw the "Fengge Newspaper" he deliberately left on the table, but he pretended not to see it and answered quietly and sat down.

He wanted to use this newspaper to test Yu Wen Xuzhong's attitude, but he was disappointed. Cai Bian felt a little disappointed, but he still kept smiling and calm.

"Si Ju, go prepare tea, remember to use the new good tea from Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Biluochun."

"yes."

When Li Mida left again after serving tea and closed the door of the cabinet, Cai Bian said to Yuwen Xuzhong seriously: "Shutong, how can you ask what Your Majesty gave me?"

Yuwen Xuzhong took out two volumes of words from his bulging arms.

"The official saw that the walls of the Dong Pavilion Conference Hall were empty, and he was moved for a moment and wrote a picture of the characters. Then he told me to tell Mr. Cai and the great scholars that if the official's words were not disliked, they would hang them up as an embellishment."

"The official has a strong saying, and the official has copied Yan style and is self-satisfied with the spirit of his own. How dare he say that his words are ugly? The official's words are ugly, and the words "the minister and others are not crawling around with chicken feet."

Yuwen Xuzhong replied with a smile: "Duke Cai and Xiao Cai are all masters of calligraphy in our dynasty. If you can win your praise, the government will definitely be very happy."

When Cai Bian heard the big and big Mr. Cai, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitched a few times, but the smile on his face became even more sincere.

"The words of the heart are the words of the ministers and others, and must be told to the officials."

After a few words, Cai Bian unfolded the first character.

"The political system is in harmony with people."

After reading it twice, Cai Bian sighed: "This is the government's eager expectation for ministers. Ministers must work hard to make the great Song Dynasty political affairs harmonious."

"If Mr. Cai says, I will definitely submit it to the official."

Cai Bian thanked her and was about to spread the second picture. Yuwen Xuzhong reminded her.

"Mr. Cai, this is specially written by the official to you."

"Written to the old minister?" Cai Bian felt a little anxious when he expanded his lines.

"Harmony and light together with dust." In addition to these four characters, there is a small line of characters on the top, which is the inscription of the official family, "Given the head of the cabinet" and the lower line is a signature, "Tianqi Child, August 10th, 12th year of the Tianqi." It is covered with a treasure seal, and the seal only has a seal "Tao" in seal script.

Cai Bian read it several times and asked hesitantly, "Shutong, does this word come from the Tao Te Ching: 'Shake its sharpness, resolve its conflicts, reconcile its light, and share its dust."

“That’s right.”

"I don't know what the officials have to teach?"

"After writing, the official said to me, 'Sharp people are anxious and reckless; they are quarrels and disputes. The official also said that all the cabinet members were heroes for the time being and important officials of the country. They should be the light of the Song Dynasty, and the lights should be harmonious. The dust is as low as dust. The official hopes that all the cabinet members will think more about the great Song Dynasty in Pingzhang's military and national affairs, but billions of people of the Song Dynasty gathered together to form Mount Tai. This is the same as the dust!"

"Shall the sharpness and resolve the disputes. The officials hope that the chief minister, with the senior officials of the cabinet, can abandon their urgent and recklessness, resolve disputes, and then keep the light and the dust."

Cai Bian bowed to the palace, "I will definitely not dare to let the officials down."

After a few more words, Yuwen Xuzhong said, "Mr. Cai, I have finished my work. I dare not bother Mr. Cai anymore. I will say goodbye, say goodbye."

When he got up, he "didn't find" the Fengge Newspaper on the table. Yuwen Xuzhong smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I'm about to go to the Ministry of Rites to talk to them."

"Oh, I wonder what Shutong is going to say to them?"

"In fact, it's not a big deal. The Tongzheng Department of the Secretariat said that since the officials have submitted memorials to the officials, they will wait for approval and disposal. If there is no response, the officials will not comment and you will find another way. But while submitting them to the Tongzheng Department and submitting memorials to the officials, it is too unreasonable to publish them in the newspaper with great fanfare. Are they coaxing the people in the name of the officials? Or threatening the officials with the will of the people?"

Cai Bian showed a serious look, "I also think this matter is serious when Shutong said this. Well, the Ministry of Rites' Works Bureau belongs to the Secretariat. Since the Secretariat has spoken, I will mention a sentence at the provincial meeting and ask the Works Bureau to make some rectifications."

"Then I'll have to go to Mr. Cai. The consultation from the Secretariat will arrive immediately. I just raise my legs and come. The official documents will have to go around twice before I can get to the Secretariat. It's slower."

Cai Bian smiled with understanding and politely sent Yuwen Xuzhong to the door of the cabinet, and then instructed Li Mida to take him to the door of the East Pavilion for him.

Li Mi hurried back to the cabinet and saw Cai Bian lying again, approving the official document. The newspaper that was placed on the table had long disappeared.

Romance

His heart, hanging in the air, slowly fell down, but he wanted to make sure again, and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Cai, I don't know where the "Fengge Newspaper" is, so please let my subordinates take it away first."

Cai Bian raised his head and his eyes came from above the crystal reading glasses.

"That newspaper was alarmist and had been thrown into the wastebasket by me long ago."

Li Mida was very calm, surprised and happy. This must have been the words brought by Yuwen Xuzhong to the official family, which made Mr. Cai take a reassurance and calm down.

But he was still worried, so hesitated and asked.

"Mr. Cai, but the wind stops and the rain stops, and the clouds open to see the bright moon?"

Cai Bian raised his head and said meaningfully: "No matter how strong the wind is, no matter how strong the rain is, where does it come from?"

His finger pointed to the sky, "Come from the sky."

"Student remembered it." Li Mida replied respectfully.
