Chapter 695 Drinking Tea

People withdrew from the main hall of King Han one after another, whispering, and gradually dispersed.

This gathering of the Han Palace, in fact, is similar to the court meeting, except that it is His Royal Highness the King of Han sitting on it, not the emperor.

The formal court meeting is divided into large and small courts, and the big court will be for the courtiers, in fact, many times the situation is greater than the process, because the decrees announced at the court meeting are all things agreed at the small court meeting, and generally there will be no changes or accidents.

If something happens, such as someone jumping off their feet at a court meeting, or defending in court, it can only mean that there has been an obvious political accident and that people are going to die.

In contrast, the small court meeting is much more important, the emperor will consult with the Zhongshu, Shangshu and other provincial ministers and officials involved, almost all major events will be discussed at the small court meeting, and then announced at the big court meeting.

Of course, everything that happened in the main hall of the Han Wang's Mansion before was similar to the court meeting, but it was different, because in the hall, there was only the voice of the Han King, and almost everyone else could only listen.

The signs of royal power are obvious, and this is one of the most important characteristics of the princes of troubled times, they are generally the male lords who come out of the war, and they are certainly different from the emperor.

The three things sound very concise and to the point, and they don't take much time, but they are so extensive that they are obvious, and it takes a while for the subordinates to ponder and digest them.

And this is what internal affairs look like, not like most of the imagination, whoever is on the chapter, the emperor is overjoyed, and immediately issues a promulgation, and then everyone praises it, and everyone is happy.

That's the illusion that history books bring to people, because they only record important events, but simplify the process, and the reality is that every decree issued by a government agency, regardless of whether it is later evaluated, is the result of the efforts of many people.

His Royal Highness the King of Han explained three things, the main purpose is clear, but the details must be carefully discussed by the ministers before they can be promulgated, and before that, all the participants should think about what role they can play in it, and what benefits they can get, which is what people often call the problem of gain and loss.

It is conceivable that soon there will be many more texts handed over to the Zhongshu and the six chief officials, which carry the talents of the officials and their expectations.

This is officialdom......

And people who have already roughly gone through this process are not easy.

Like Su Yan, the head of the household, he quietly fell behind, and gradually got together with Wen Yanbo, the secretary of the ministry, talking in a low voice, gradually breaking away from the crowd, and turning towards the small road in the house.

After walking a short distance, a pavilion surrounded by trees appeared in front of them, but someone had already made the first move, and Chen Xiaoyi was sitting upright on a stone chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.

On the stone table in front of him, steaming fragrant tea, the two servants of the palace carefully served the tea stove, watching the fire, it was obvious that the people had already prepared, and they might have ordered people to prepare in advance.

Su Yan and Wen Yanbo glanced at each other, and said in unison, Jiang is still old and spicy.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it, they are all close ministers of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xiaoyi has concurrently served as the middle and long history of Li Po's mansion, Wen Yanbo has also been Sima and Changshi by Li Po's side, Su Yan is almost, only Sima.

Therefore, they are very familiar with today's Han Wangfu, and it is not an exaggeration to use many words to describe it in the palace, as for the temperament and habits of His Royal Highness the Han King, they also have their own opinions.

With such convenience, wouldn't you be a fool if you didn't use it?

Su Yan was younger, and first gave Chen Xiao a salute, "Xia Guan has seen the Chinese book, the Chinese book is idle and elegant, and the good life is enviable." ”

Chen Xiaoyi opened his eyes slightly, bowed his hand back, and said with a smile: "I'm busy and busy, I'm waiting for guests, the two of you came just right, please take a seat......"

The two of them gave a salute at the same time, and then stepped forward and sat down, a piece of etiquette, elegant and calm, this is the aristocracy at this time, the etiquette has been engraved into their bones, just a simple answer and action, so that a "chance encounter" tea party is full of ritual that can be included in the painting.

The fragrance of tea overflowed, Wen Yanbo nodded and praised, "Good tea." ”

Chen Xiaoyi and Su Yan looked at Wen Dalin with a solemn face, and they both smiled secretly, Chen Xiaoyi's reputation for good tea had already spread in Jinyang, and it was naturally good tea that he took out and could drink in the Han Palace.

And they all know that Wen Dalin, a native of Jinyang, has a bad heritage, and he hasn't enjoyed it much after many years of traveling, and his articles and talents are all temporary choices, but when it comes to others, he doesn't have any common language with them, and it's just a good word when he tastes tea.

In contrast, Chen Xiaoyi, an old minister of the Eastern Capital who has a family history and experience all the years and years are there, needless to say, Su Jian was born in a wealthy family, and the way of tea and wine is a course to be learned when he is young, otherwise where will he have the face to go out and be born in the martial arts Su clan?

He only sniffed it with his nose, and he knew the name of the tea, and he also knew the nature of the tea, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of a "soil bun" like Wen Yanbo at this time.

The three of them drank two cups silently, and their bodies became warm, obviously this tea is very suitable for autumn drinking.

Chen Xiaoyi's eyebrows and eyes opened, sighed comfortably, and opened the topic, "The lord is quite urgent, can the two of you know the reason?" ”

Wen Yanbo shook his head slightly and said, "Before, the king led the army across the river and entered Henan...... But because of the needs of the war situation, there is today's meeting? ”

Su Jian thought for a while and then said: "The year-end reward has become a rule, maybe it is because of the king's military merits that he is here?" ”

Chen Xiaoyi understood as soon as he heard it, these two people didn't have a score in their hearts, they were all guesses, even if they were reasonable, they couldn't do it accurately, in fact, the three of them knew that although the three things Li Po said this time had signs before, there were not many abruptities.

But having said that, they have all followed Li Po for many years, and they know Li Po's style of acting well, except for leading the troops to fight, everything else they do is not impatient or impatient, they never try to achieve immediate success, and they look at the long-term, in their words, it is the wind and clouds of the lord and the emperor.

But now that I just returned to Jinyang, I didn't see anyone, I stayed in the house for a few days, and I didn't show any news, so I threw out a few major things, and they all intended to complete them before the year, which was very different from what they did before, and their hearts were all lifted.

In fact, it boils down to that they think that Li Po has an impatient meaning, and obviously something has happened, but they are unaware, which can be said to be a dereliction of duty, and it is a very heartwarming thing for them who are conceited.

The three of them fell silent again, drank a few more glasses, Wen Yanbo sweated on his forehead, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we should just do our best." ”

Su Yan squinted at the past, and said in his heart, what you said is light, the officials only need to follow the step-by-step process, who will we find in this household department? Just after the autumn harvest, collecting taxes is a troublesome matter, and I have to deal with Wang Ze of the Ministry of Rites, and I can't escape the matter of knighthood after that......

This is not counted, the south has to transport grain and grass, and the soldiers and horses stationed everywhere have to spend the winter, Hedong has been measuring the acres of fields, and is also sorting out the household registration, and the distribution of fields is also a major event, and the military and civilian cultivation must also be separated, so many things are pressed in one place, is there enough people in the household department?

Then there is the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and the initial establishment of the household department, which is also a big trouble...... There is also a coinage......

Thinking of this, Su Yan's mouth was full of bitter water, and his little white face turned a lot darker, and he couldn't help but scold his mother, damn it, I was also looking for death by myself, my stomach was round, and I even went to think about what coinage, what the hell.

I couldn't help but say: "It's good to have some grace, there are some things...... Can't rush ......"

Wen Yanbo looked at Su Yan's bitter face, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help laughing.

Of course, it's no wonder that he is a little gloating, there is naturally competition between the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, but it is not chaotic at any time, and it is an indisputable fact that the Ministry of Household is powerful and powerful.

For example, now, the king wants to be knighted, this is a matter of the official department, but the household department has to get a kick in it, for Wen Yanbo, this is not a good sign, even if he has no opinion on Su Yan himself, he is also vigilant.

Chen Xiaoyi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yuanzai, the lord is a reasonable person...... Wen Dalin is not bad at what he said, just do his best, if there is a disagreement, the lord will not blame us. ”

Or is the old minister calm, the burden of the book is not lighter than that of the household, look at what people say? Su Yan showed shame on his face, and arched his hand: "What the Chinese book says is that Su Yan has been taught. ”

Chen Xiaoyi was "disgusted" at that time, what kind of person are you Su Yuanzai, the old man knows it very well, I haven't seen you so respectful in the past, you are so hypocritical today, and then you want to push everything to Zhongshu to do? Dream on......

These guys are fighting, but they can't be compared to the people in the Northwest Guzang City, every sentence seems to contain temptation and other meanings, and people who are a little stupid may fall into the pit many times in a few words.

And they gathered here together, not to discuss with each other or anything, this is one of the roads from the main hall of the Han Wangfu to the inner house.

It is also a place where His Royal Highness the King of Han is accustomed to passing by, in view of the "lazy government" of His Royal Highness the King of Han before, the door of the inner house is not easy to enter, so they found a place where the King of Han must pass to block him.

The three of them sat for more than half an hour, and people kept coming to do business, and they were all sent away by them in a few words, and occasionally there would be servants who came over tremblingly and muttered a few words in their ears, which was to report the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Han.

The three guys who drank a stomach full of water gradually noticed that something was wrong, and such a blatant spying act was very taboo, especially for the king, maybe something would happen.
