Three major events are happening in Beijing recently.
The first thing was that Fei Hong, the former academician who was appointed to the cabinet, and Sun Jiao, the new Minister of Household Affairs, came to the capital from their hometown.
This matter is considered normal. It only involves the arrival of two ministers at the imperial court and central government, which will have a certain impact on the political scene in the capital. However, the overall trend of Yang Tinghe taking charge of the affairs of the imperial court will not change.
The second thing was that Princess Chiang and her party arrived in Tongzhou, a suburb of the capital, and did not continue to the capital.
Because she has to wait for a status.
This is considered the most important event in the court, and a dispute between the monarch and his ministers involving the ceremony will arise again at any time.
As for the third thing, it was originally ordinary, but it stirred up a thousand waves with one stone——
The emperor appointed the new autocratic head of the household department in charge of Huangzhuang's land, Tang Yin, who was born in Juren.
For a time, public opinion in the capital was in an uproar.
In the past few years, the rumors about Tang Yin were that he pretended to be crazy and ran away in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Since then, he has gained a reputation as a lunatic. Everyone thought that he was impoverished after returning to his hometown. It is estimated that the next time they heard about him, he died of poverty.
Unexpectedly, it is now rumored that he has become a sixth-rank official of the imperial court.
You must know that the sixth-rank official in Beijing is equivalent to the level of a local prefect.
Tang Yin's achievements in the past few years were almost blank, and they suddenly appeared, which was unexpected.
…
…
On this day, Zhu Hao invited Jiang Lun to a hot pot restaurant for dinner.
The business of the hot pot restaurant was extremely booming, and there were people queuing up outside the restaurant.
Fortunately, Zhu Hao had the privilege to go to the private room at the back of the second floor. The two of them ate while waiting for Tang Yin to arrive. However, they said that Tang Yin had gone to see Lou Suzhen that day. Zhu Hao guessed that it was probably not to fall in love, but just to discuss the knowledge of calligraphy and painting.
Or talk about Tang Yin's new job.
After taking up his duties, Tang Yin can finally stand up straight in front of the lover of his dreams, but why not take the opportunity to show off?
We originally promised to come back before noon, but until the sun began to set in the west, Tang Yin was nowhere to be seen.
"I guess we're having a good time chatting. We don't need to wait for him. Let's eat ours." Zhu Hao asked the waiter to serve a whole table of meat dishes, river fresh food, dried seafood, etc., and prepared to have a feast with Jiang Lun.
Jiang Lun asked in confusion: "What does it mean to have a good time?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "We just talked until we got carried away, to the point where we valued sex over friends...forgot that we are still here waiting for him."
Jiang Lun smiled evilly: "If you say that, I will understand."
The two started to fuck.
Just as the table in the private room next door was being turned over, several new scholars sat down and chatted while waiting for the waiter to bring the new pot base and ingredients. However, they were heard discussing the matter of Tang Yin enthusiastically.
"...But that Jiangnan talented man Tang Yin and Tang Bohu?"
"That's right, it's Tang Bohu."
"Didn't you say that he was only good at poetry and painting? Why did he suddenly come to the capital to become an official? Could it be that he passed the Jinshi examination?"
"You're a poor Jinshi. When Hongzhi was still young, he was involved in the imperial examination. Now he is not qualified to take the Beijing examination, but he suddenly appeared for some reason."
"I heard that it seems that he was responsible for reporting King Ning's rebellion, and it was Wang Bo'an, the governor of southern Jiangxi who was responsible for suppressing the rebellion, who recommended him to the official position."
"Really? Is the news reliable?"
"Otherwise? He is a poor scholar. I heard that he has been relying on selling calligraphy and painting to support his family in Hukou in the past few years. When he gets old, he doesn't even have anyone to take care of him... Why should he be the head of the household department?"
"Does the head of the household department have a high official position? I heard that he is only at the sixth rank?"
"What do you know? This head of the Household Department is not an ordinary head of the Department of Cleaning and Officials of the Household Department. He is responsible for the imperial village of the capital. Do you know how much land there is in the imperial village? Many dignitaries in the capital covet this position. Unexpectedly, this position was eventually lost.
In his hands...this man is not simple."
"That's pretty awesome. I don't know what he is like, but he has taken up a post in the capital?"
"Who knows? The sudden rumor from the court may be a cover...I heard that all the people in the court are members of Mr. Yang Ge. Maybe Tang Yin was promoted to Mr. Yang Ge because of his flattery?"
…
…
The discussion was lively.
Originally, there were only four guests at a table talking there, but eventually the topic of Tang Yin came up, and the people in the other private room couldn't help but interrupt.
Generally speaking, scholars do not dare to discuss major events in the court for fear of getting angry. However, this time it involves an old scholar who is famous for his poetry and painting becoming a court official. Everyone feels that they are well-informed and can tell something that others do not know.
I want to know the inside story if I don’t know the reason, so I can go back and brag about it.
For a time, Tang Yin became the most popular topic among scholars in the capital.
"Little sir, I see...Mr. Tang is famous."
Jiang Lun listened for a long time, and someone seemed to come from next door. The sound was so noisy that he couldn't hear what he was saying, so he smiled and said to Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao put meat into Jiang Lun's bowl and said with a smile: "He has a good reputation. How many people in the world don't know who Tang Yin is?"
Jiang Lundao: "Everyone knows that Tang Bohu is unparalleled in poetry and painting. Who knew that he was also talented as an official?"
Just as he was talking, Yu San hurriedly came upstairs, entered the cubicle and said, "You two, Mr. Tang is here."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It seems that he finally remembered that there is a drinking bureau...Brother Meng Zai finally doesn't have to be reserved in front of me. You can have a few drinks with him later."
…
…
Tang Yin went upstairs and entered the private room.
His expression was as calm as possible, but he still couldn't hide the joy of spring breeze.
After sitting down, I heard the people next door talking about Tang Yin's official career. After hearing this, the person involved felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic: "Go back early in the afternoon. Don't neglect your errands."
Zhu Hao said: "Sir, you really don't care about anything. Brother Meng Zai doesn't have an official position yet. You have an errand, so you think everyone can serve the court like you?"
Jiang Lun looked at Zhu Hao pitifully: "The young gentleman is right, this sister has arrived in Tongzhou, and she is still thinking about when to go to see her, but these are troubled times, if the princess can be named the Queen Mother... Hey.
"
Tang Yin continued: "Then you are the uncle of the state."
"Oh, you still have to have a vision. It's okay to have a dream, right?"
Jiang Lun also had a headache.
He is not Princess Jiang's biological brother, he is just an adopted step-son. His status in Prince Xing's palace is neither high nor low, which is very awkward. Now that his nephew has adopted Xiaozong as his son in exchange for the throne, he wants to be the legitimate one.
A relative who lacks legal support.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly shouted from the next door: "...I tell you, Tang Bohu is where he is today because he helped the court to kill Jiang Bin and Qian Ning. This is the information I got from the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
, it’s absolutely true! You outsiders don’t know what’s going on, so stop pretending here!”
Tang Yin was startled.
Why are the people next door quarreling over how he became an official?
"Calm down your anger and we won't fight anymore, right? You are well-informed and you have the final say!" As soon as someone saw the dispute, they quickly calmed down and comforted them, and soon the next door became silent.
Tang Yin came to his senses and looked quite embarrassed.
Zhu Hao smiled and asked: "Sir, I went to see my wife today. How did it go...?"
Tang Yin was puzzled: "What progress?"
Jiang Lun smiled and said: "What kind of Hutu is Mr. Tang pretending to be? We all know who you are going to see... Don't worry, outsiders don't know about this."
Tang Yin frowned: "It's just a meeting, we only met because of calligraphy and painting...Meng Zai, what do you know? Did Zhu Hao tell you?"
"I...don't I go to meet the future Mrs. Tang?"
Jiang Lun looked confused.
Zhu Hao poured wine for Tang Yin and said, "Yes, yes, that's right, the future Mrs. Tang can also be considered my mistress."
Tang Yin's face was full of irritation: "You kid, why do you call everyone you see Mistress? Gongsun Fengyuan has not dared to bring his wife out recently, but you just talked nonsense in front of him and his wife."
Zhu Hao pursed his lips: "We are one of our own, what are you afraid of?"
Tang Yin said angrily: "You are young and don't understand the defense of men and women. You should learn it in the future... By the way, what else don't you understand? Why do you always have those narrow-minded thoughts just to make fun of others?"
"No, no, I never meant to be disrespectful to you. I was just asking. In fact, students are also worried about you. You are considered to have a successful career now. Seeing that everyone inside and outside the capital is talking about you now, it seems that
He is a famous person in the world, shouldn’t he consider renewing his relationship now?”
"Hahaha……"
Zhu Hao persuaded with earnest words, while Jiang Lun beside him seemed to be booing and laughing non-stop.
Tang Yin found that both Zhu Hao and Jiang Lun were making fun of him. He tried to change the topic several times to no avail, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. I won't talk to him. Let's see what you two can do to me.
…
…
Had lunch.
The group returned to Tang Yin's residence.
At this time, there was already someone waiting at the door, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wen Zhengming, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River who was also famous for his poetry and painting.
"Brother Bohu..."
When Wen Zhengming saw Tang Yin, his face was full of enthusiasm, and he seemed to have something to ask for.
As soon as Tang Yin saw this posture, he knew it was not easy to deal with, so he hurriedly said: "Meng Zai, if nothing happens, we can talk later?"
"good!"
Jiang Lun didn't think anything of it and left first.
Zhu Hao followed Tang Yin and led Wen Zhengming into the courtyard.
Wen Zhengming didn't see Zhu Hao at all. After entering, he gave a big gift: "...Brother Bohu, it seems that you have really made your mark now. You are now the head of the household department of the sixth rank. Your Majesty personally appointed you. You have a bright future. Can you?"
You must be promoted to the next one."

Tang Yinwei wondered: "I... was just doing some errands for His Majesty."
Although Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming were good friends, they had their differences, and he knew very well that his old friend Wen Zhengming was an official fan.
But the problem is that Wen Zhengming has not even passed the examination, which is similar to Zhu Yunming's failure in many examinations, but Zhu Yunming is a candidate after all.
You, Wen Zhengming, heard that I had become the head of the household department and came directly to ask for my support. Are you too eager for quick success?
Wen Zhengming cupped his hands and said: "I have a lot of strength, and it's not a big deal to run around and work. Please help me, Brother Bohu, to be accommodating. As long as I can serve the imperial court, I will definitely die without hesitation."
Zhu Hao was listening and thought to himself, "I'm still willing to die. Should I accept you as a eunuch?"
Seeing the smile on Zhu Hao's face, Tang Yin knew that Zhu Hao had no good intentions in mind, so he excused himself and said, "It's better to come back in a few days and I'll help you ask first to see if there is any errand suitable for you. But don't be too optimistic.
Although the imperial court is employing people now, fame and family views are deeply rooted. Sometimes...it is difficult for me to help you."
