Chapter 1812: Invitation from the Criminal Department
When I heard these three words, the air was still filled with a faint smell of gunpowder just now, but it disappeared in a moment. Several people looked at the door for the first time, after all, the will of the emperor of heaven and earth was the greatest.
However, he saw Chen Hong, the celebrant in brocade and the commander of Dongchang, striding in with the holy decree in his hand, and also glanced towards the prison of the Criminal Department. His eyes clearly bloomed with a hint of joy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, already with good news.
Chen Hong?
When he saw that it was the great eunuch Chen Hong who came to issue the decree, even if he was as calm as Huang Guangsheng, he gasped.
In officialdom, no one can avoid some ambition. Although he knew that his ceiling was the six Shangshu, there was a world of difference between the six Shangshu, and if he could move to the position of the official Shangshu, it would undoubtedly be a great good news.
It's just that he knows very well in his heart that behind Hu Song is Xu Jie. It is impossible for Hu Song's position to move, and there is really a vacancy, and he has not competed for the strength of the secretary's secretary.
As soon as he thought of this, he turned his head to look at Lin Haoran who was standing next to him. When he looked at Lin Haoran's frowning appearance, he immediately realized a possibility, and his heart beat violently inexplicably.
Hey?
Qian Bangyan saw Chen Hong, who walked in with the holy decree in his hand, his eyes lit up slightly, and he also turned his head to look at Lin Haoran.
Now that the Nanjing Zhenwu Camp Mutiny is becoming more and more intense, once the imperial court holds Lin Haoran accountable, then Lin Haoran's position as the head of the household department is not guaranteed, and naturally someone can fill the head of the household department.
According to the previous agreement, once there is a vacancy in the head of the household, then he is the best candidate. With the recommendation of Xu Ge, who is the most favored by the emperor, he naturally became the new head of the household department.
At the thought of this, the bones in his body were crispy, and the whole person seemed to be able to float. As the saying goes: Hubu Shangshu will only be late, but will not be absent.
Over here?
Lin Haoran also saw Chen Hong's figure, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, looking thoughtfully at Chen Hong who was walking towards the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Although he had just seen Chen Hong summoned to the Wanshou Palace in the palace, he had already guessed that there might be an order issued, but he did not expect that it would be issued to the Criminal Department.
However, he also understands that in this era based on the emperor's will, many things revolve around one person. As long as the saint is willing today, even a Taoist priest can be awarded the title of Zuozhu of Gong Cheng Bo and Zheng Yipin.
"Quick, get ready to meet the order!"
After learning that a holy decree had come to the Criminal Department, the officials of the Criminal Department came out of their respective offices one after another, and several clever scribes prepared the incense case as soon as possible.
In addition to the first Shangshu and the second waiter, the Criminal Department consists of four divisions: the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Official, the Comparison Department, and the Division, each of which has a Langzhong, a member and two directors.
Although the number of officials in the Criminal Department cannot be compared with that of the Household Department, it is also a standard ratio of six departments.
But I don't know if it was because there were few holy decrees coming, or if Huang Guangsheng repeatedly ordered and reiterated his request. After learning the news, almost all the officials of the Fourth Division of the Criminal Department put down the affairs at hand and came out to meet the holy decree in an orderly manner.
Qian Bangyan realized that it was likely to be his "great joy", his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he turned his head to find that Lin Haoran wanted to avoid it, and immediately invited with a smile: "Lin Shangshu, let's go together to welcome the order, shall we?" ”
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't like Qian Bangyan's few old teeth very much, and he wanted to use his fists to directly help him solve this annoying tooth.
"Lin Shangshu, since you happen to be here, let's welcome the decree together!" Huang Guangsheng looked at Lin Haoran, who had a gloomy face, and also warmly invited.
The so-called invitation is naturally ill-intentioned, and it is more about wanting to show off well in front of Lin Haoran. Whether it is Qian Bangyan or Huang Guangsheng, it seems that they are all thinking about it.
Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
Although this holy decree was not issued to him, after all, he happened to be in the yamen of the Criminal Department, and now he was stared at by Huang Guangsheng and Qian Bangyan, and it was already an inappropriate move to choose to shirk.
As for these two fake invitations, this is just the most common phenomenon in officialdom. Even if his face is as kind as Xu Jie, when he has the opportunity to kill Yan Song, he will definitely be more ruthless than anyone else.
Huang Guangsheng took the lead, but Qian Bangyan did not rush forward, but made a gesture of invitation to Lin Haoran with a smile.
In the courtyard in front of the lobby of the Criminal Department, there was already a large group of people standing here, and many officials had already come here, and it was Chen Hong who was standing in the hall holding the holy decree.
"Disciple Liu Fushan (Zhang Hui, Li Kui) has seen the teacher!" Liu Fushan, the director of the Criminal Department, and two other officials greeted him and respectfully saluted together.
When Huang Guangsheng and Qian Bangyan saw this, their eyes were inevitably jealous.
Although they have been Jinshi and the first very early, they are from the top three and the same Jinshi. Even if they have climbed up now, there is still a big gap between them and the officials who were born in the words, and they are not even at the same level at all.
Although Lin Haoran has only been in the officialdom for a short time, he soon presided over the township examination in Guangdong, and also presided over the general examination in February this year. After collecting 300 protégé thorns in a grand manner, he can be said to be full of protégés, which is a terrifying force.
Facing the salute of the three disciples, Lin Haoran also nodded lightly. Due to his identity and status, he will not get too close to his protégés, but chooses a more strict "discipline" method.
Seeing the three big men appear, the official took the initiative to get out of the aisle. Huang Guangsheng was in front, Lin Haoran and Qian Bangyan were behind, and they came to the forefront together.
The incense of the incense table has been lit, the air is filled with a peculiar fragrance, and everything is ready.
There is only a small question, whether this will will be given to Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, or to Qian Bangyan, the left servant of the Criminal Department, is still a mystery.
Huang Guangsheng seemed to be full of confidence and stood at the forefront without giving up. Qian Bangyan also relied on it, and in the face of Huang Guangsheng's actions, there was a trace of disdain on his face.
Chen Hong glanced at Huang Guangsheng with a smile, then fell on Qian Bangyan's body, and finally said to Lin Haoran: "Lin Shangshu, where are you hiding?" ”
Hey?
Huang Guangsheng and Qian Bangyan, who were full of anticipation, were stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran suspiciously, not understanding what was wrong.
"Me?" Lin Haoran was also stunned, looking at himself suspiciously.
Chen Hong immediately complained: "The miscellaneous family just went to the yamen of the household department, but your subordinates told you that you came to the criminal department, and the miscellaneous family is looking for you, come forward to receive the order!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Guangsheng and Qian Bangyan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of disappointment and hurt, daring to believe that they were all wishful thinking just now, and this will came to Lin Hao.
"There's Lao Chen's father-in-law!" Lin Haoran gave a salute to Chen Hong, and then turned his gaze to Huang Guangsheng in front.
Huang Guangsheng quickly realized that he occupied a position that he shouldn't be standing, and he obediently gave up his position to this household secretary, and glanced at Lin Haoran with complicated eyes, hoping that this was a will to dispose of Lin Haoran.
"The Ministry of Ministers and Households, Shangshu Lin Haoran has received the order!"
Lin Haoran stepped forward and stood still, leading the officials to bow down and bow down.
He was also quite puzzled in his heart, why such a good and decent person would have a holy decree issued to him. Although he had just performed well in the Wanshou Palace, he had no possibility of moving his position.
Suddenly, a cold sweat poured out from his forehead, and he guessed: Could it be that he had just revealed some flaws in the Wanshou Palace?
