Chen Qiyu raised his head, looked at his master Li Fang, and said, "Then let's talk about it, what do you think should be done?" ”

"My lord, the matter of the secret music system has just been heard in the DPRK, and this matter was raised by Luo Sigong of Jinyiwei, and the opposition from the DPRK has been very loud."

"Although the tantric system has been completed and put into the General Administration, there has always been such opposition. Whether this can be done for a long time, no one knows. ”

"So in a situation like this, the team is not a very good choice at this time. What's more, as soon as this matter comes out, whoever takes the lead will naturally be remembered. ”

"The following report is originally a taboo in officialdom, let alone in such a situation? In the future, if the news spreads, I am afraid that there will be no place for adults in the officialdom. ”

Li Fang looked at Chen Qiyu with a deep worry on her face and said, "So let's wait." ”

This truth is actually very simple, no superior likes to be sued by his subordinates.

So as long as this happens, or people who have done this kind of behavior, then it is basically very likely that they will be excluded all the time, and they will be the object of exclusion wherever they go.

In such a situation, it is difficult for you to continue to mix in officialdom. What's more, if you do this as soon as the matter comes out, you will be criticized.

Li Fang said this also for Chen Qiyu's official career, and wanted him to wait. If there are too many people who do this, and they are mixed in with it, it will not be remembered.

As for whether someone will do this, it's not hard to guess at all, someone will definitely do it. For lower-level officials, being able to climb up is more important than anything else.

Some people care about it and some don't. Stepping on someone else's top position seems normal to many people. As for being ostracized by officialdom, they don't care even more.

Glancing at Li Fang, Chen Qiyu said with a smile: "I understand everything you said, and I particularly agree with one of the things you said, that is, this thing may not last long, and it is likely to be abolished soon." And because of this, I want to hurry up, time is running out! ”

After hearing this, Li Fang's face showed a wry smile, and she said helplessly: "Originally, I thought that after two years of entering the officialdom, adults would not have such thoughts. Who would have thought that it still hasn't changed at all. ”

Chen Qiyu smiled apologetically, "If it can be done this time, then I can continue to do this official; If it doesn't work, then I'll just go home. Let me be suffocated and aggrieved in the officialdom, I can't do it. I'm just afraid that I'm going to embarrass you, and I may not be able to be a master in the future. ”

Knowing Chen Qiyu's thoughts, Li Fang stopped persuading, the expression on her face relaxed, and she smiled at Chen Qiyu and said, "That's just right." When I returned to my hometown and went to find a school to be a teacher, my life was easier. ”

"Then we'll do it this time." Chen Qiyu said with a smile: "You pay attention to a little news." ”

"Yes, my lord, I keep an eye on it at all times." Li Fang replied with a smile.

In fact, the two of them didn't wait too long, because on the third day, the people sent by the imperial court to Luoyang County had already arrived.

A total of three people came, and they came to see Chen Qiyu, the magistrate of Luoyang, on the first day they came.

After getting the news, Chen Qiyu also met these three people for the first time.

The moment he saw these three people, Chen Qiyu was stunned.

To be honest, he didn't expect the three people who came to see him to be like this, and there was something that surprised him.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a scar on his face, looking hideous and terrifying, a dark complexion, and a beard with sideburns and cheeks. The whole person looks very rough and has a very strong figure, so it can be seen that he should be from the military.

The two behind Scarface are also of similar shape and temperament, and all three are carrying knives.

"Humble to your lordship." The scarface at the head bowed and said: "The humble position is Zhao Zhu, the secretary of the general administration of the nine products, and he has come to take office today. This is a lowly appointment document, please take a look at it. ”

"Tongyi?" Chen Qiyu hesitated a little, he hadn't heard that there was still such an official position in this court.

took Zhao Zhu's paperwork from Li Fang's hand and quickly skimmed through it.

Everything was clearly written on the paperwork, and Chen Qiyu knew what was going on.

The official position of this Tongyi was newly created by the Secretary of General Affairs, and was responsible for the transmission of tantric music.

Tongyi, take the meaning of unblocked post.

It is clearly written in the document that these people were not under the jurisdiction of the local yamen, but they were stationed in the local post stations, and their money was issued by the imperial court.

If someone wants to hand over the tantra, just give it to them. No one is allowed to intercept them, nor is it allowed to inquire about the secret recital.

Whoever intercepts the messenger is guilty of complicity.

This crime is quite scary, no matter what crime you commit, as long as you intercept the Tongyi, you will be dealt with with rebellion.

After looking them up and down, Chen Qiyu asked, "Looking at your appearance, you should be from a military background, right?" ”

"Back to my lord, the humble position is from the Jinyi Guard." Zhao Zhu said respectfully: "As for the two subordinates behind the humble position, they are both from Beijing, and some more people may be added in the future." ”

Chen Qiyu nodded, he could understand this.

Although Luoyang is the county seat, it is a little different, it is a big city after all, and it is the county seat of Henan Province, and Henan Province is the county seat of Henan Province.

It is not surprising that the General Administration Department sent people here first. It's just that he went to the county yamen to report, and he is obviously in charge of this county.

Chen Qiyu thought for a while and asked, "Is there a person from the General Administration Department in Henan Mansion?" ”

"Hui sir, there is." Zhao Zhu said: "The General Administration Department has sent people from all walks of life to the provincial capitals in various places, and then from the provincial capital to the government, and finally to the county, all of them have people, but in some places there are several counties that send people all the way." ”

"If there are several counties that share a general administration department, or if there is only one in a prefecture, people will be sent to go to various places every month, and if there is a secret recital, it can be directly handed over to them; If not, then they go and have a look. ”

Chen Qiyu immediately heard the importance of this.

If you inspect it, they will go when there is no secret music, which can ensure the safety of the secret music to a large extent.

Chen Qiyu nodded and said, "In this way, I have a secret performance here, you can send it to the capital." ”

After these words came out, Zhao Zhu was stunned. Is there a secret music to be sent to the capital?

He didn't expect the first job to come so quickly, but then it was back to normal. That's what they're here to do, and there's no way they can refuse.

Seeing that the other party took out a question book, Zhao Zhu said, "My lord, this is an excerpt of the secret music." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zhu took out a fold from his sleeve and presented it respectfully, while explaining: "The secret music handed over to the lowly position must be written with this kind of fold, and after writing, it is sealed with wax, and then put it in a special box for secret music. ”

"We only have locks for this special box, but no keys. After putting it in, the adults can lock it with a lock, and then we will send it to the capital as soon as possible, and all the keys are in the Tongzheng Division. ”

"When the secret box arrives in the capital, the people of the General Administration Department will open the box with a key, take out the secret music from it, and then present it to the emperor."

While listening to Zhao Zhu's words, Chen Qiyu took the fold over.

The outside of this fold is a cardboard box, but the inside is paper, and the paper shell below is longer than the top, so you can fold it up and seal it after writing.

In this way, there will be traces when you open it.

As for the box that Zhao Zhu said, he didn't bring it.

But Chen Qiyu is very happy to see this way, after all, they only have boxes, no keys. The key is kept in the capital, and as long as it is locked here, no one can open it.

If you want to open it, you can only break the lock, which means that no one can peek.

"What if someone opens this lock?" Chen Qiyu looked at Zhao Zhu and asked expressionlessly: "You must know that there are still many capable people in this world who can open locks." ”

"The box won't be touched by anyone else." Zhao Zhu said.

"If we give the box to someone else and leak the contents of the tantra, we won't be able to save all of our heads. So don't worry, adult. Zhao Zhu said respectfully.

"In addition, all the secret recitals we send away need to be filed with the higher-level communications secretary. There will be no archive of the tantra, but it will definitely be recorded. If there is no receipt after the secret fold is sent, the general administration department at the next higher level will send a document to the capital to inquire. ”

Chen Qiyu nodded, obviously the General Administration Department has a very strict confidentiality system.

There are so many people who know about it or are involved in it, and it's hard to bribe them and get through them. After all, they are not under the jurisdiction of local officials, and the punishment for leaking secrets is too heavy, and it is easy to kill the head at every turn.

"That's all right, I'll go and copy the tantric recital, and write it on the recital." Chen Qiyu said: "Then you can send it to the capital." ”

"Yes, sir." Zhao Zhu respectfully agreed.

"If there's nothing wrong with you, we'll take our leave. Tomorrow morning, we'll come with a box to pick up the fold. Zhao Zhu said again.

Chen Qiyu nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

After Zhao Zhu left, the expression on Chen Qiyu's face became serious, and he said: "I think I should try it now, try the attitude of the imperial court, and see if this newly appointed envoy has the courage." ”

"What do you mean by that, my lord?" Li Fang asked with some confusion.

"I don't want to use the secret music to participate in the Henan prefect, I want to change someone." Saying that, Chen Qiyu stretched out his hand and took the blank fold, and said: "In Luoyang, in addition to the Henan prefect, there is also a big harm. ”

Li Fang looked at Chen Qiyu with wide eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Why is this so? ”

Chen Qiyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since you want to get it, why don't you make it bigger?" Let's play together and see what the court will do. ”

"What are you doing to see what the court will do, you want to see what Your Majesty will do."

This is a temptation to His Majesty, Li Fang complained in her heart.

He knew he couldn't change his family's mind.

You have to know that the adults in your family have been unpleasant to the eye since the first day of taking office. At this time, if your own adult wants to do this vote, I guess I can't stop it.

"I'll grind it for the adults." Li Fang's voice was very calm.

"I thought you would persuade me, Chen Qiyu looked at him, reached out and picked up the brush, and said with a smile.

"I know I can't persuade adults, so I just don't persuade them." Li Fang said: "But my lordship is giving His Majesty a problem, and it is likely that the people in the court will take advantage of the problem." ”

"In this case, the tantric system may be abolished. At that time, Your Majesty may hold a grudge against your lordship, and if you don't say anything about it when this official is over, I am afraid that you will be punished. ”

"Then try it." Chen Qiyu said indifferently: "If it can be done, it will be in the future, and the benefit will be in the contemporary; If it fails, it will be nothing more than dismissal and going home. ”

"As for punishment, I don't think so. Why don't we make a bet? Officials are not allowed to gamble, but we can gamble on something else. ”

"What do you want to bet on?" Li Fang also said with a smile.

"If I lose, then I'll take out my wine that I have treasured for ten years, and drink it when we are separated. I know you've been coveting it for a long time. ”

"If I win, you can promise me to take the imperial examination, there is hope for this official."

Glancing at Chen Qiyu deeply, the smile on Li Fang's face slowly disappeared, and then he sighed softly and said, "Okay, I'll accompany the adults to bet on this game." ”

Then there was no sound in the room, and Chen Qiyu began to pick up the pen, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote on the paper.

Jingshi, Xiyuan.

Zhu Youxiao was lying on the rocking chair, shaking the chair, reaching out and tapping on the armrests, humming a little song in a comfortable mood, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, should he form a band?

Match the drumming suona with it, and let them play a tune for themselves if it's okay?

For example, come to a "Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", or a "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"?

Oh, by the way, at this time it's still called "General Order".

It's a good idea, go back and figure it out, and play it at the party.

Soon Zhu Youxiao finalized the idea.

During this time, Zhu Youxiao has been preparing for Empress Zhang's birthday banquet.

Speaking of which, I haven't invited my ministers to dinner for a while, and as an emperor who didn't even go to the early dynasty, it was even rarer to invite dinner.

So this time Zhu Youxiao made a grand event, of course, the main purpose was to sell potatoes.

While Zhu Youxiao was pondering, Chen Hong walked over from not far away with a tray on top of a porcelain bowl.

He walked up to Zhu Youxiao and said, "The emperor is a newly researched dish in the inner kitchen, please take a look at it." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly became energetic, sat up straight with a smile, beckoned and said, "Hurry up and bring it over, let me take a look." I've been waiting for this for a long time! ”
