In August, the township officials, officials, and Lingshi Xiangxiang were busy with the officials of Tingli Township and County up to the county state, and they did not have much to do with the officials in the palace and the court, but the court office was an exception.

According to the law, when the case is compared with the people, the middle doctor and the court and the minister to see the virgins of the good family, more than thirteen years old, twenty years old, beautiful appearance, legal appearance, carry back the harem, depending on whether it is possible, is to use the emperor.

In the first year of Emperor Xiaowu, he changed his name to Guanglu Doctor, with a rank of 2,000 stones. ——It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the selection of people in the court.

However, Dr. Guanglu is more of a courtier and a man, and the real person in charge of reading and selecting is still Ye Tingcheng and Xianggong. Every year from June, the Tribunal Office has to prepare for this matter.

The official offices of the Shaofu, except for the Zuo Yi who was renamed Tong Fei in the first year of Taichu, because of the palm shooting, and the preparation of nine Cheng and two lieutenants, only the court office set up eight cheng, as the deputy of the court order, the number is the largest, which is not without the reason that the court office is responsible for reading the election.

August is the most critical time for the selection of candidates, although the officials who stay behind do not need to run around, but from the court order to the down, everyone is not idle.

The distribution of palace houses, the dispatch of palace people, and the selection of officials and maids...... All kinds of matters must be considered carefully and arranged in advance, especially the relevant information of the women who are waiting for the edict reported from all over the country, which should be verified and evaluated...... These matters are extremely trivial and very tiring.

Zhang He is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his energy is naturally worse than that of the officials of the same year, plus he has not slept all night, and today's food has not been used up, where can he hold back this burst of anger? As soon as he left the bottom, he stumbled under his feet, but fortunately, the little eunuch who came to pass the word was still clever, and quickly stretched out his hand to help him, so that he did not fall.

The two Zuoshi who were closer to the main seat also reacted at this time, and hurriedly went over to help Zhang He back to the main seat and sit down, and you and I comforted me word by word.

"Zhang Ling, the court office can't leave you at this time."

"Jun has not slept all night, he has eaten Dan, and the selected officials and maids are going to come over, if Jun is not there, this matter is not easy to do."

"I can't control the affairs of the Middle Palace, why should you run around in vain?"

"The busiest season has not yet arrived, so you should take care of yourself."

These two people are Zhang He's henchmen, and they are responsible for the most important missions, and they are not happy to see Zhang He go at the invitation of Shaofu for business and private reasons, so they are naturally of the same caliber. When other people in the hall saw this, they also reacted, and they echoed and persuaded one after another, all in one sentence - there are many things to do in the court, and there is no court order.

Zhang He was blocked by two cronies, hooked his lips slightly, and gave the two of them a positive look, and the two of them understood each other and persuaded more and more attentively.

This change made the little eunuch who passed the word anxious, if he didn't care about the rules and didn't dare to cry, he would have cried bitterly.

Although he couldn't cry, the little eunuch didn't care about anything else, and while kowtowing, he shouted urgently: "Zhang Ling, Shaofu Yan, all officials and orders, but whoever is guarding must be invited to ......"

"Shut up!" Immediately, someone from the Eunuch Office shouted, "How did the Eunuch Department train it?" Don't even understand the rules? Is the forbidden place where you can raise your voice? ”

The little eunuch was frightened and silent, but looking at the court order that was surrounded, and then thinking about the instructions he received before leaving, he gritted his teeth, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the two Zuoshi surrounding Zhang He exclaim: "Zhang Ling! ”

Everyone in the hall changed their faces at the same time, got up almost at the same time, and rushed to the main seat, some of them were clever, ran two steps, and remembered what to do, turned around and ordered the officials and slaves serving in the hall to quickly find the imperial doctor.

"Yes, yes, yes...... Go find the Imperial Doctor! The others also reacted and echoed in unison.

Seeing this situation, the little eunuch knew that he would not be able to complete the order, and his expression became more and more depressed, and a high-ranking senior official standing next to the main seat saw this, and his face sank: "What are you still doing here?" Get lost! With Xu Shaofu's words, the court order also fainted! I can't go! ”

The officials of the court office are all people who have been banned in the palace for a long time, who can't understand Xu Ren's calculations?

- Don't you just want to share the responsibility?

- Isn't it just thinking that the law does not hold the public accountable?

The dignified Jiuqing high-ranking officials don't even have this responsibility!

- Even though the queen's fainting must be related to the emperor, but the Son of Heaven has not yet had an edict, and the dignified Shaofu is in the main hall, so he doesn't even have the courage to respond to the edict of the Jiaofang Palace?

A subordinate official feels embarrassed when he thinks about it!

- They are all subordinates of Shaofu......

Seeing that the little eunuch finally left, some of the subordinate officials of the court took a long breath and said angrily: "Xu Jun is really the son-in-law of the prince?" Not the son of Prime Minister Che? ”

- Such a bold and fearful person, this Weng and son-in-law are also the same!

"Be careful! Is the prince reproachful? Zhang He, who had just "fainted", scolded him seriously when he heard this.

"The minister knows his mistake." The subordinate hurriedly responded, and retreated to the main seat respectfully.

Seeing this, the people who were originally surrounding Zhang He also hurriedly retreated, and stood solemnly under the seat.

Zhang He rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand tiredly: "The gentlemen will eat first." ”

- Fainting is fake, but it is a real fact that the court is busy today.

The people understood what he meant, and although they were restless, they still took their seats as he was told, and quietly tried to eat.

Zhang He couldn't eat a bite.

The court office is in charge of the harem nobles to collect women's affairs, from Jieyu to the palace people, all under its jurisdiction, and they are the most well-informed about the news.

Although I was busy with official business last night, for the emperor to call the queen at night, the queen fainted, and the people in the middle palace went out at night...... Not only Zhang He, but also the subordinate officials of the court who were in the palace last night all know a little bit, and if you think about the recent events, no matter how stupid people are, they can understand that the situation is not right.

- The fifteen-year-old Son of Heaven and the nine-year-old Empress......

- What contradictions can they make?

- The real ...... Or the ...... behind them

Zhang He knew more than others, so he was even more confused - the people of the Shangguan family entered the palace at night, why did the queen faint?

Puzzled, Zhang He wished that he had really fainted.

——Although he couldn't understand it, Zhang He vaguely felt the anxiety and ...... in his heart ...... year Quite similar......

- Just this feeling exudes an ominous feeling.

“…… Zhang Ling...... Zhang Ling's ......" soft call made Zhang He come back to his senses slightly, and when he saw that it was his cronies, his face was even more relaxed.

When the Zuo Shi saw him come back to his senses, he whispered with his hands: "Zhang Ling, the official maid to be elected has arrived at the door." ”

Business matters, Zhang He put aside his chaotic thoughts and left in a hurry.

The door refers to the side door outside the main gate of the palace ban, and the four doors and two gates of the Weiyang Palace, each with its own rules for entry and exit, but, in any case, the four tall and magnificent main gates are definitely not used by officials, slaves and maids.

The envoys in the forbidden are all official slaves and maids, but they are also exquisite.

At this time, the source of official slaves and maids was mainly the families of sinners who were confiscated for their sins and their slaves and maids, and of course, the children born to officials and slaves who were not pardoned were also important sources. Although the palace people in the forbidden palace are mainly for the nobles and the ministers to serve when they are staying, and their appearance does not need to be too good, but both in the forbidden and near the nobles, the appearance must at least be neat to be in order, especially the palace maids who are on duty when the ministers are on duty, and occasionally there will be officials who ask for a warm seat, and besides, who can say that the Son of Heaven will not choose a person to sleep in the palace on a whim? The most recent example is the Empress Wei of the First Emperor.

All in all, although the selection of envoys and maids is not stricter than that of reading a good family, it is definitely not a random selection.

Generally speaking, for various considerations, the official slaves and maids of the forbidden envoys are still the families of sinners or prisoners of war, and those who were originally slaves and maids were mostly assigned to work everywhere, not to mention the official offices, that is, the forbidden middle is the slaves and maids who need ingenuity in the weaving room, the Ling room and other places.

This kind of selection does not need to be done by the court order, but, because this is the first day, Zhang He can't help but take a turn, firstly, to give a little encouragement to the subordinate officials in charge of this matter, and secondly, to count the newly elected palace people.

It's just a routine, Zhang He thought he could go back quickly, and he was still thinking about whether to go to the main hall of Shaofu to have a look when he came back from Yemen......

However, it is clear that today, Taiyi does not want to see him too comfortable.

After training the subordinate officials, he also looked at the officials and slaves to be elected, Zhang He was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of Yihua who had just returned to the palace.

Yihua also saw Zhang He and hesitated, but the young Changyu still walked down the road to Jiaofang Palace.

Zhang He squinted slightly, led a group of subordinate officials to walk for a while, and then suddenly stopped, and said to everyone: "Jiaofang Hall should also increase or decrease some palace people......

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded, Zhang He groaned for a while, and told his subordinates to go back to the official office on their own, but he turned around and walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.

The Jiaofang Hall was obviously still very chaotic, and Zhang He waited in front of the front hall for nearly three minutes before the palace people came to lead the court order into the east chamber of the front hall.

Yihua is also in the East Chamber.

The leading palace people silently retreated after saluting the chief court, and of course, they did not forget to close the door of the east chamber.

The door was closed, there was no one else in the East Chamber, Yi Hua Gong asked Zhang He to sit down in the upper seat, and he sat down to the bottom, and then bowed his head and said: "Zhang Ling wants to see the Middle Palace?" ”

"Is Nakanomiya okay?" Zhang He did not affirm or deny, but asked vaguely.

"The volunteer doctor just came, and after the needle, the middle palace is already much better." Yihua replied unhurriedly.

Zhang He snorted and said knowingly: "Since the middle palace has not woken up, the ministers dare not disturb." Moreover, it is the same to ask Changyu about this matter. ”

After speaking, Zhang He explained the matter again, and finally asked the middle palace if there were any requirements for the palace attendants.

Yihua naturally answered them one by one very politely.

After saying the matter, Zhang He got up to say goodbye, Yihua was polite to him, and then sent him off respectfully.

Out of the front hall, down the high platform, Yihua still did not stop, but, according to the rules, to the officials of the Shaofu, the middle palace servant of the queen of the imperial dynasty, is to send out the second out of the Jiaofang Palace. (Note)

The distance was not close, and coupled with the rules of the palace, the two walked very slowly.

After confirming that no one around could hear their voices, Zhang He spoke: "I won't ask you why you left the palace, just ask one sentence - now, how should we deal with it?" ”

Note: This rule is purely fictitious. For the sake of the plot......
