The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is still the same Shangshu signing room, but it has changed owners.

Today, because it is the official of the hall who takes office, all the officials of the ministry have to make an appearance, so the time for arranging the government is a little longer. At this time, Gao Tianguan and his two deputies, Wang Bengu, the left waiter, and Yin Shidan, the right waiter, sat in the vinegary signing room to eat tea and discuss matters.

"Everyone is also an old acquaintance, so let's not talk nonsense." said that it was a discussion, but in fact, Gao Gong gave orders, and the two waiters listened obediently.

"The church once met with Yu Pogong in Zhending Mansion, and he had a few regrets that he had forgotten, and instructed the church to do it first when he entered Beijing." Gao Gong said with a straight face: "One is that he was forced by the pressure of those in power to depose several innocent officials in the past, and I want to recall them." ”

"Yes, yes." Wang Bengu hurriedly responded, this is all due meaning. Many people were unlucky with the bearded man back then, and now that he is in power, of course he wants to get them out of the water.

"One is the original superintendent of the imperial Shi Qikang, and the other is Chen Yide, the editor of Hanlin......" Gao Gong said as he took out a long list from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Bengu and said: "They are all good officials who have suffered in vain, recall them and compensate them." ”

"Yes." Wang Bengu swallowed his saliva, and said in his heart, okay, don't retaliate, and cultivate cronies instead. Isn't that true? In a few years, the court will be full of old people.

Yin Shidan, like Na Ge Shouli, is a native of Shandong and has a relatively straight temper. In addition, he is in the Zhanhan system, and he is just a transition to the ministry, and he is not afraid of offending the officials. Then he said in a low voice: "Elder Ge, I am afraid that there are not so many suitable positions for promoting so many people at once, right?" ”

"If you don't have a seat, let someone else move it." Gao Gong's pupils shrank slightly, and he seemed to smile and said: "Think about it, you can always do it, hehehe......"

The laughter is already a bit oozing......

Yin Shidan was just about to speak again, but the scribe outside reported that Zhang Xianggong was here.

"Oh, why is he here?" The high arched brows stretched instantly, and the little unhappiness disappeared. He got up and said to the two, "Go back." ”

"Yes, Ministry." The two waiters hurriedly got up and responded, not to mention Yin Shidan, even Wang Bengu was secretly unhappy, he was an old-fashioned, uninhibited and unsmiling science minister, and what he cared about most was the word 'li'.

Obviously, Gao Gong had no intention of telling him about 'reason' or 'etiquette'.

But he is the boss, and he is Zaifu and Tianguan, so he has to endure it if he is unhappy, otherwise what else can he do?

Gao Gong didn't care what his subordinates thought, if it fell into his hands, it would be a word 'dry'! Do your job well, or you'll just wait to be fucked......

He laughed and walked out of the signing room, and saw Zhang Juzheng, who was still handsome, walking towards him with a smile.

"Hahaha, you Zhang Taiyue, you're so fucking handsome!" Seeing his year-old friend, Gao Gong was in a good mood. actually laughed and stepped forward and gave Zhang Juzheng a bear hug. "I miss Lao Tzu!"

Zhang Juzheng was embarrassed, and he was still in front of the two waiters.

The two of them hurriedly ignored the rudeness, and disappeared silently......

"Brother Su Qing, my brother misses you even more." Zhang Juzheng reluctantly straightened out his body.

"I'll just say, can we meet again?" Gao Gong punched him in the chest again.

Zhang Juzheng rubbed his chest with a wry smile, as if the pimple in his heart had also been smashed by Brother Gao's iron fist.

After all, the relationship between the two in the past was too iron.

When they were in the same Hanlin Academy, they talked about the analysis of the day, the discussion of the Tao, and the forgetfulness of the remains. The two also tried to make an appointment with each other, and he was of great use every day, and he should create and rule the world for his father.

Its commensurate is not under Gaokui, which is the original intention.

Later, Gao Gong was the priest of the country, and Zhang Juzheng was the secretary; Gaogong General School "Yongle Grand Canon", Zhang Juzheng is the branch school; The high arch entered the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng also entered one after another, which can be described as a shadow, like a brother. Even when he lifted the arch, Zhang Juzheng also maintained him a lot. In the past few years, I have tried my best to help him recover.

Although they haven't seen each other for more than two years, the two have not only not been separated, but their friendship has deepened. At least that's what the high arch thinks......

Seeing that Gao Gong was still the same old look, Zhang Juzheng also felt close in his heart. The two of them looked at each other and laughed, one with a trembling beard, and the other with a long beard fluttering like silk.

"Come on, come into the house and have tea." Gao Gong pulled him inside: "Oh, although I haven't broken the letter, I still have a lot to say to you when we meet." ”

"I'll talk about it later," Zhang Juzheng shook his head and smiled: "My brother is here to invite my brother to the banquet on behalf of the cabinet." ”

"To a feast?" Gao Gong was stunned. "Hongmen Banquet?"

"That's not it, if you want to say that among our ministers, who is like an overlord, I'm afraid only Brother Su Qing is it."

"What I said, Xiang Yu didn't have any good results." Gao Gong laughed and asked people to quickly prepare a sedan chair and said: "If the old man is the overlord, then who is Henkel?" ”

"I'm afraid that no one dares to take Henkel as a self-inflicted person, right?" Zhang Juzheng shook his head and smiled, and also walked to his sedan chair.

The canteen of the government is also called the public kitchen. Since ancient times, those who invite people to work have to take care of the food, and no matter how much the emperor picks it, he can't let the officials who work for him bring a boxed lunch to work, right? Therefore, since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been public kitchens at all levels of the yamen, among which the highest-grade official canteen belongs to the 'hall kitchen' eaten by the prime ministers, and the cost has always been huge.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, in response to the imperial court's call to 'open up sources and reduce expenditures and eliminate waste', the prime ministers held a meeting to discuss the reduction of the food standards of the lower hall kitchens.

But some people righteously said, 'We should eat lightly when we are old.' But this kitchen is a manifestation of the emperor's attention to the center. If we are incompetent, we should resign ourselves to make meritocracy, and we do not have to ask for fame on the basis of reduction. So not to mention the prime minister, even the emperor was embarrassed to cut the food and soup in the political hall.

Although the prime minister was abolished in this dynasty, after the cabinet was promoted to the center, the 'hall kitchen' automatically reappeared, and no matter how difficult and poor the country was, it did not reduce the food expenses of the prime ministers - the standard of fifteen taels of silver per month for each scholar!

The cabinet canteen is located in a two-story small building in the backyard of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the first floor is a large canteen for officials such as Si Zhilang and Zhongshusheren to eat. The small room on the second floor is a small dining hall for the ministers to eat.

It is said to be a small canteen, but it is actually very spacious, with calligraphy and paintings of the Tang and Song dynasties hanging on the wall, and porcelain vases from the official kiln in the corners, and the style of the layout is very elegant.

At this time, on the table of the Eight Immortals of Jin Sinan, five sets of cloisonné tableware have been arranged, and the arrangement is quite exquisite.

It is said that two people can sit on one side of the four-sided table, but there are never more than seven people in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Shoufu naturally wants to enjoy one side alone.

There are also four ministers this year, so the second assistant and the third assistant can also sit alone, and the new four mates and the last assistant can only accompany the last seat.

Therefore, on the top and left and right sides of the Eight Immortals table, only one set of utensils was placed on each side, and only two sets were placed on the lower chief.

Moreover, the size of the Eight Immortals table is customized, and the following can't be used like the other three sides, so you can only put two square stools to make do.

Thinking that he was going to eat with the tall beard and looking at his stinky face, Zhao Zhenji felt that the food in the cabinet was not fragrant.

Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin leaned their arms on the armrests, leaning their heads and talking.

And he wanted to put his arm on it, but he could only put it on the table, as if he was scratching his head!

'Why can't you set up a round table in the cafeteria!' Zhao Zhenji was depressed and wanted to scold his mother.

At this time, when he heard a commotion downstairs, Li Chunfang got up and said with a smile: "Here, let's go downstairs to greet us." ”

Chen Yiqin and Zhao Zhenji put away their depression, showed eight teeth each, and went downstairs with Lord Shoufu.

Sure enough, I saw Gao Gong, accompanied by Zhang Juzheng, walking to the door of the canteen with a spring breeze on his face, and all Si Zhilang and Zhongshu Province rushed out to bow down.

They are not kneeling high scholars, but heavenly officials and high arches. This group of petty officials of seven or eight grades, his career is all in his thoughts.

Gao Gong called them up with a spring breeze on his face, and he could call out their names one by one, and those who were called by their names all burst into tears and choked up and couldn't speak.

Li Chunfang went downstairs and saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel dizzy, and said I know, I know. This is what the hell is it like to let the officials enter the cabinet.

From now on, there will only be Gao Xinzheng in the eyes of the people below, who cares who the poor Shoufu is? Li Chunfang's heart was sour, and she had to have a sincere smile on her face.

"Xuan Weng, you're back."

"Xiaguan has seen Motosuke." Gao Gong bowed to him, and Li Chunfang was very content, and was busy clasping his fists and returning the salute.

Then Gao Gong also bowed his hand to Chen and Zhao Ergong, even if it was a salute.

Chen Yiqin had just suppressed the unhappiness, and he jumped up again. Like words, like words? I'm also a secondary! How can there be no one in sight of you?

"Let's stop being formal, let's go upstairs and pick you up." Li Chunfang was afraid of making a joke in front of the people below, so he hurriedly pulled Gao Gong and went up to the second floor first.

~~

"Please."

"Please"

After going upstairs, Li Chunfang and Gao Gong were polite, and Lord Shoufu sat on the top.

Then he sat down on his left hand side.

Chen Yiqin, who followed him, was dumbfounded. That's his seat.

"Sit, Chen Ge Lao, sit down." Gao Gong held the armrests of the chair with both hands, sat firmly on the second seat, looked at Chen Yiqin with a smile and said: "After two years, Chen Ge Lao is getting better and better, and his face is full of red light!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay......" Chen Yiqin's brain was buzzing, and his heart was blank. There was only one sentence over and over again - how could he do this? How could he do that? How can this be?

"Sit down." Gao Gong followed Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji, who came up. "Don't stand still."

"Sit, sit." The two of them smiled and sat down side by side very consciously.

It's strange to say, Zhao Zhenji doesn't feel crowded.

"Hey, Chen Ge Lao, why don't you sit yet?" Gao Gong looked at Chen Yiqin, whose face was flushed, with a strange expression, and asked Li Chunfang, who was sitting on pins and needles, "Why haven't you seen you for two years, Chen Ge is so angry?" ”

It's such a bully. Chen Yiqin can't wait to flip the table!
