"Yesterday I put my hands in my pockets and didn't know what my opponent was."
Xu Jingchang laughed and said: "Six important ministers, so many people besieged them, and I defeated them all. How can I be called a man with all the majesty, who is better than the three heroes who fought against Lu Bu, and Zhao Zilong who refused to let Changbanpo go?"
Wu Shan has heard this person say three times, "Master General Affairs, you are so powerful, but Your Majesty has issued an order to select ministers from the Hanlin Academy to prepare advisors. Our General Affairs Department has not gained any benefits, but has offended so many people."
Duyamen, how will you spend your days in the future?"
Xu Jingchang's face instantly darkened, "Can you not say anything discouraging? Doesn't this matter still happen to Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, and those insects like Ru Ru! Especially Chen Ying, he is even more contemptible in the world.
, he insisted on reinstating the prime minister, and thought he could use Emperor Taizu to overthrow me. He didn’t even think about it. Now that the emperor has been changed, does your majesty really don’t want to reinstate the prime minister? It’s really stupid.”
Xu Jingchang scolded, and then said: "Forget it, the affairs of the court have nothing to do with me anyway. I have been in the General Affairs Department for a long time, and we are colleagues, so we should have a dinner together or something. You go
Have you ever crossed the Qinhuai River? Have you experienced the scenery there?"
Wu Shan's face turned red, "Sir, do you mean to lead Xiaguan to the Qinhuai River?"
"Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to go listen to music, eat something good, and go boating?"
Wu Shan became even more embarrassed, "How about just going to listen to music and go boating? Nothing else?"
Xu Jingchang said angrily: "In the past, our uncle had the final say and had strict control. If you know anything interesting, please tell me about it."
Thinking of this, Xu Jingchang became even more confident. Even for the sake of the Xu family, we have to come to Qinhuai from time to time to spend money and stimulate domestic demand.
"no."
The followers around him were all arrogant and looking at people with their noses.
Xu Jingchang jumped out of the carriage, and Wu Shan could only follow, "Sir, please stop arguing. It's getting dark now. Aren't you wasting money when you only have a few thousand gold?"
Wu Shan was wronged, "Sir, your car is naturally the best in the General Affairs Department, and I specially added two layers of wolf skin to you... We will be there soon, hurry up and appreciate the scenery. It's important. It's just a carriage. It's a trivial matter."
pieces.”
Wu Shan was dumbfounded. What else could you say?
"How come you don't know this?"
Wu Shan said hurriedly: "This is the lower official's car. Your Excellency's car bears the logo of the General Administration Department, which is inconvenient."
Wu Shan is about to cry. I don't want to drink something that the eldest daughter has had in her mouth. I just want to see the eldest daughter herself...
"Do you have the power in your hands?"
"No." Xu Jingchang got angry, "With my status, I don't even have a good carriage. What's it like? It makes the Xu family look like a poor man. I have to find out what's going on."
"These days, we are tracking down those who rebel against the Party, and we have demoted many girls from high-ranking officials to working in lowly jobs. If I am not mistaken, they are naturally much better than before."
When Wu Shan heard this, his eyes nearly dropped, "Sir, you are already at the Qinhuai River. Why don't you go inside and find a teahouse here? What do you mean? Are you afraid of being spanked by the elders at home?"
"That's right, I won't let you play with me!" Xu Jingchang snorted.
"Before your Excellency came, the Secretary of General Administration was not so prestigious, and the lower official was just a councilor, so he was nothing."
Wu Shan subconsciously said: "If you are poor, you will hold a grudge. If you are rich, you will counterattack and calculate. My lord, what are you going to do?"
Wu Shan suddenly realized it and said with gritted teeth: "They are all a bunch of snobs, but if you follow the master, you will have something to play with in the future. Let's go there quickly, otherwise so many officials will come and take away all the good things.
"
"To be honest, my old wife is very strict at home. She has gone there twice with her colleagues, and she has to carry the royal guards on her back to prevent them from looking at her. But speaking of it, on the painted boat, the fragrant wind is floating, and the music is melodious.
, this talented girl from Yangzhou is truly unique in the world.”
"No."
He is a noble son and a dandy in the capital. If he had not had some romantic affairs, people might have suspected him of having ulterior motives!
"Let me talk about Lao Wu, how is Qin Huai's character now?"
He kept making calculations along the way, and seeing that he was not far from Qinhuai, Xu Jingchang suddenly discovered something wrong, "Old Wu, this is not the car I usually ride in, is it?"
Then Xu Jingchang took Wu Shan to a three-story teahouse on the street and chose a seat near the window. The two of them ordered a pot of bird tongue.
Xu Jingchang was so angry that he slapped the table, "It was not so neat in the previous dynasty. I wonder why the road to Qinhuai is better than Tianjie! It turns out that the problem lies here."
"Does your family have money?"
Xu Jingchang gave him a big look and continued to look down. In less than half an hour, twenty or thirty carriages and sedan chairs were passing by one after another. Those who came out of them, although no one was wearing official uniforms, looked official.
"You fart, who in the Xu family dares to take care of me now?" Xu Jingchang said impatiently: "If I tell you to do it, just do it, don't give me any nonsense."
Xu Jingchang ignored him and circled the carriage twice. Then he looked at the road under his feet. It was paved with bluestones and was neat. Looking forward and backward, it was the same.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and do it."
Wu Shan thought to himself, you are too tacky.
"Look, is that the Ministry of War's carriage?"
Wu Shan chuckled and said, "Sir, you are talking about a female monster, a female devil, right?"
Xu Jingchang squinted his eyes, looked at the busy street, and hummed: "Have you forgotten my motto?"
Xu Jingchang was slightly moved. He was doing as the Romans did, but he was not depraved.
"I said to Old Wu, why is this road leading to Qinhuai better than Tianjie in front of the palace?"
Xu Jingchang ignored him, but stared at the road through the crack of the window.
Xu Jingchang said helplessly: "Okay, you prepare the car, let's go to the dragon's pond and tiger's den today, and meet the monsters for a while."
Xu Jingchang became even more angry, "I asked you about food and things to see, but why did you only talk about beautiful women? They are just vulgar things!"
Wu Shan said helplessly: "My lord, I'm telling you the truth. I haven't had time to see anything else. If you could lead your subordinates down there a few more times, you'd probably know."
Wu Shan leaned forward, took a look, nodded and said: "They are from the Ministry of War. Other yamen don't have horses as cool as this. They are still brave and dare to use the cars of the Ministry of War directly. The lower officials should learn from them."
"Sir, this tea is so good. My daughter Huang Hua got up early to pick it. She put every piece under her tongue, so it's called Bird's Tongue. One tael of silver and one tael of tea, exactly."
Xu Jingchang looked at him and asked, "Are you a Jinshi?"
Xu Jingchang was curious along the way and looked outside. There were people coming and going on the road, and there was still some life. The Jingyan period had just ended, and it was already good to be back like this.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, the Supervisory Yuan, the Ministry of Industry, the Hanlin Academy, and the Imperial College!"
Wu Shan still said stupidly: "Sir, why can't I understand this?"
Wu Shan agreed and went down immediately. When the sun turned west, the two men got on the carriage, came out of the Tongzhengsi Yamen, and rushed towards the Qinhuai River.
"You pig head, the court meeting only happens once every three days. People come here every day. If it gets bumpy and the adults fall, it will be a big sin."
Do you want to learn from Wang Mang?
By the way, it seems that Wang Mang's aunt is also a queen, and she is in a similar situation to myself.
Xu Jingchang frowned slightly, "Old Wu, let's go to the restaurant next door, find a seat, and follow me to stare at the street."
"If they don't do anything, if they dare to file a lawsuit against me, I will dare to disturb their comfort zone!"
Wu Shan leaned forward and identified them one by one. He had been in Beijing for many years and could basically recognize them.
Only then did Wu Shan understand that this person who dared to love was still a young child.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, my car should be better than yours, but I rode all the way here and your car didn't bump at all. My car even bumped my butt when I went to the palace...Old Wu, tell me.
To be honest, are you keeping the good things to yourself?"
Wu Shan shook his head and said: "No way, the entire Yingtian City was built under the supervision of the Ministry of Works, and the best materials were used around the palace."
You pretend to be a Taoist, who are you showing it to?
Xu Jingchang gritted his teeth. He had no intention of listening to the music now. He hurried back to the mansion, called Xu Yi over, told him a few words, and asked him to investigate.
Another day passed, and Xu Jingchang had two more pieces of stone in his hand.
"Sir, you guessed it right. The stones on Qinhuai Road are better."
Xu Jingchang nodded, "Okay, you wrap these two stones, and I will put them under the memorial from the General Affairs Department and send them to His Majesty later."
