Section 52 Complex Official Duties
It is said that Linglong and the pervert were in the same room that day, and after half an hour, I saw the little grandfather leave the Jiang Mansion dejectedly, and the fools understood that Liu Baokai not only failed to hold the beauty, but also seemed to have been mentally destroyed. As for what exactly was said between them, only the parties themselves know. Jiang Tian was also very curious about how Linglong refused, generally speaking, this girl gave him the impression of a rude and unsophisticated daughter, who only fell into the dust because she was implicated by her family. If it is in the afterlife, it belongs to the type that makes people stay away. So he has always admired the pervert's perseverance, stalking, and shameless pickle girl standards, and ordinary insults can no longer cause mental trauma to him. But looking at his appearance today, the preoccupied and disheartened look when he left was like a different person.
"Actually, Linglong is definitely not as unbearable as the old man thinks, but ......" Listening to Jiang Tian's question, Xinyue wanted to speak and stopped: "Alas...... We women who are wretched......"
She originally relied on an instinctive reaction to get to Jiang Tian's side, but after chatting with him for a few words, she secretly felt sad. This made Jiang Tian can't help but think about it, you said that the pervert has already come to ask for someone, so another guy who covets beauty is about to appear, right? However, this person is at least a little reserved as a scholar, and he will not be as direct as Liu Baokai. Tian Xuhai has been very bored recently, since he knew that Jiang Tian and the emperor were classmates, his father has been forcing him to make friends, but the pride of the Confucian children makes him really not want to have anything to do with Jiang Tian. Otherwise, there will be a sense of guilt for betraying the famous religion, but today he had to force a smile into the Dengcao Hutong, after hearing that Jiang Tian wanted to let all the people who relied on the Red Mansion get out of the country, he knew that it would be self-defeating to hide any longer.
"The student is late, don't blame the sir!" As soon as he entered the door, he put on an expression of regret, as if it was really difficult not to show up in the past few days: "Fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Mr. and His Majesty can reunite in this capital, presumably there is a certain number in the dark." β
After a few casual polite words, Jiang Tian thought to himself that I had already guessed that you were coming, but fortunately you and the pervert did not arrive at the same time, otherwise Yiwen and Yiwu collectively came to me to ask for a woman, which can be regarded as a strange thing to be talked about in later generations if it is written into the history books.
"What did Brother Huai Gu Xian say, I have said with Dexin and Yijian, it is still appropriate for you and me to be brothers, and the affairs in the court should not affect our friendship." As long as the other party doesn't speak, Jiang Tian is happy to pretend to be stupid and talk nonsense, anyway, he doesn't mention people's things.
He didn't mention Tian Xuhai was in a hurry, although he didn't know whether the matter of leaving the country was true or not, but as long as Xinyue was still a subordinate in his house, the danger would increase several times, especially that woman was still a geek who was obsessed with science, if these two people got along day and night and fell in love for a long time, what else would happen to his surname Tian?
"The student is here to congratulate Mr., and the other thing is that I heard that Your Excellency is going to dismiss the subordinates here?"
Jiang Tian sighed in his heart, can he be so tactful? I didn't say anything serious for a long time, but I finally got down to business, but I had a compassionate expression of appreciating my benevolence and morality, and it was really not as crisp as a pervert.
"Brother Xian, just say it directly, but you want to ask me how to arrange Miss Xinyue?"
After being pointed out by someone, the scholar's face was a little unbearable, but when he thought of that radiant face, he could only force a smile: "This...... Brother Muhua is right, but he has this intention. β
"I won't tell you anything, Yi Jian just left here just now, and I don't need to say more about why he came, so I also tell you the same, I have promised the people of the mansion that they will be free in a few days, so whether Xinyue is willing to go with you or not, this is not something I can decide, it depends on whether the girl is willing or not."
Tian Xuhai didn't expect that there was anything more anxious than himself, but it was also the proper meaning of the question to bring out the Duke's Mansion to suppress people, it seems that his little grandfather failed to hold the beauty, think about it, that Linglong has always been arrogant and has never given him a good face, seeing that he is about to leave the Duke's Palace, how can he agree to commit to being a concubine in the Duke's Palace. As for whether Xinyue will promise herself, it's hard to say, she belongs to the type that can talk to anyone, but her heart is tightly wrapped, and it's hard to guess what she thinks.
As soon as he wanted to say a few more words, he saw a familiar figure appear at the door, and Xinyue, dressed as a servant, stood there looking at the two of them.
Tian Xuhai hurriedly stood up, and was just about to speak but was interrupted by the other party: "Tian Gongzi's intentions, the little woman understands it, but I don't know if I can answer a question." β
Jiang Tian saw that he should not be a light bulb and flash people, so he also stood up: "You talk, I'll ...... first"
"Sir, don't worry! Nothing about slaves and maids should be said to men. Xinyue hurriedly stopped Jiang Tian, and then turned her head to look at Tian Xuhai: "Tian Gongzi, if a cheap concubine enters your Tian family, will anyone dislike the concubine from a humble background?" If the elders of the family force you to take a leave of your concubine in the future, are you willing to give up the family business for me? β
Tian Xuhai looked at Xinyue blankly, the answer to this question is obvious, no matter how much she likes this woman, she is not a serious girl after all, for the sake of the family and the obedience to the elders, why not divorce a good prostitute. But does he dare to say it? Saying such heartless words in front of your sweetheart? So what about deceiving her? Would this very smart woman really believe it? Thinking about this Lord Jiang beside him, he dared to resist the decree for a little girl, although he was arrested by His Majesty, he was willing to give those sluts freedom, so that they could have the opportunity to be upright. No wonder Xinyue asked this question, in fact, everyone knows that the so-called talented and beautiful women are just very beautiful at the beginning, and how many people know and care about the ending.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party was still stunned, Xinyue spoke very calmly: "Childe can't answer?" Although the slave maid is down-and-out in the Qinglou, she also knows that lifelong events are not child's play, and the disparity between your and my identities and concubines dare not climb high! β
Another person left in despair, the tea guests in the teahouse didn't know what the two sons and brothers were doing before and after, but they couldn't stop their various gossip speculations, you want to lean on the Red Mansion before it was full of people, and nobles from all walks of life came one after another, and there were few good people in it. It's all cheap Jiang Xiucai alone, and it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a few stupid boys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky. But you don't look at your identity, Master Jiang is the junior brother who is now long lived, and he is already the prince at a young age, and his future is limitless. What do you dare to come into? In short, there are countless versions circulating in the market, and in each version, there is such an eyeless stupid thing and Jiang Tianqiang's beauty, and then they are all sent out by the wise and martial Lord Jiang by various means. The person who created these rumors may not have malicious intent, but they are haunted by the spirit of gossip and want to have some fun. For the ancient times, when leisure life was scarce, fabricating and spreading such rumors was also a popular entertainment activity for the people.
Jiang Tian didn't have time to care about this, and as the only eyewitness to Xinyue's questioning of Tian Xuhai, he didn't reveal it to others. He could understand Xinyue's feelings, as an ancient prostitute, their best ending was nothing more than someone taking them as concubines before they became old, and they didn't even think about things like fame and human rights. Maybe ordinary people will accept their fate, but Xinyue is an alternative talented woman, whether it is self-esteem or anything else, she is not allowed to be traded like an item, if she doesn't meet Jiang Tian, it is likely that a few years later, she will stage a tragic drama of a red face and a thin life, but now there are different possibilities. Don't look at Liu Baokai and Linglong talking in private, it is estimated that the pervert is also stumped by similar questions, his Liu family is not only a hereditary duke, but also a serious Hui @ clan, although according to the doctrine they can take as many wives as they want, but the imperial court gives only one person, besides, who makes their family attract attention, Mu @ Si @ Lin all over the country are looking at them, even if they want to take a concubine, they have to be a Hui @ clan or other ethnic groups of the same religion, even if she Linglong is favored in the end, she is just a girl who accompanies the room, So it is reasonable to reject the pervert's sincerity.
After arranging the affairs at home, the next day Jiang Tian put on the brand-new red official uniform and went straight to the Zongren Mansion in the imperial city. Because it was within the palace walls, Jiang Tian didn't have many sideways eyes when he wore this stylish clothes, and with the ivory waist card given by the emperor, almost no one stopped him except **. It's just that this people's mansion is now an empty shell yamen, the emperor's own family is dead and scattered, and all the relatives have not been recovered at the moment, so no one usually comes here except for a few eunuchs who sprinkle and sweep, even if there are more relatives of the emperor in the future, most of the work is also managed by the Ministry of Rites, at most, it is used here when canonizing the prince and princess, as for the education and management of the royal family, there are also other departments to take over, so strictly speaking, this is a place where the royal family is a big name.
Originally, I just wanted to sign a sign-in, and when I was asked, it was considered to be taking office, but I didn't expect King Ji to happen to be working here, and he was also very interested in this official position as a subordinate of experience, and his royal brother was not appreciative of someone, but for Jiang Tian, he did not hesitate to stage a play "Xiao He Yuexia chased Han Xin", and he had also seen the telescope that was held up to the sky, and the effect was really good, and it was definitely a weapon comparable to a cannon on the battlefield, but even so, it would not be so valued, right? So he had the idea of meeting Jiang Tian in person.
"Weichen meets His Royal Highness King Ji." After coming to the study, Jiang Tian reluctantly bowed. There is no way that the family is a prince, and the etiquette treatment is second only to the emperor.
"Lord Jiang, please get up."
Jiang Tian, who stood up, looked at him secretly, and found that the other party was also observing him, and the two of them glanced at each other for a few seconds, and neither of them forgot what to do. Jiang Tian was surprised by the face of this King of Ji, a standard Confucian general, although his face was not handsome and elegant, but at first sight, he knew that he was a well-educated person, and the majesty cultivated by leading troops to fight for many years was different from that of civil officials, and he had a dignified and murderous aura. As for the King of Ji, he was lamenting Jiang Tian's youth, he had long known that this guy was not yet twenty years old. But after seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that he couldn't see a trace of young man's childishness, saying that he was a young man and an old man, but he was sorry for the slender figure of this jade tree in the wind, that is, his appearance was ordinary, otherwise he would not have been fascinated by the spring girl in the city.
There are poems and books in the belly, and the two people who can be called experts in their respective fields naturally have an unusual temperament, but the peace and indifference in Jiang Tian's eyes make Zhang Gan, the prince, curious, he can be regarded as reading countless people, who sees him in the Manchu Dynasty is not respectful, and those old guys in the army are also in awe when they see themselves, why does this young man seem to not care about his identity, let alone the slightest fear of power. I heard that he talked to the emperor a little bit big or small, it seems that this is not to despise himself, but to be born without knowing what awe is. It's just such a confrontation, Zhang Qian gave up his original plan, he knew that this kid was not the kind of ordinary person who could fart and pee after scaring twice, and would be grateful to Dade after a few words of appeasement, let alone an old fritter who hid the city very deeply, because that kind of person would perform in front of him, at least he had to look obedient and frightened.
"Master Jiang, I heard that you want to dismiss the slaves and maids in the house?"
Jiang Tian thought that this word spread fast enough, and you will know it just yesterday when he said it today: "Exactly, I really have this intention." I wonder if I violated the rules of the court? β
Zhang Qian shook his head: "Since it is a reward for you, it is up to you to decide what to do, this king is just curious why you are acting like this?" β
Since the rules have not been broken, Jiang Tian is relieved for the time being: "Don't hide it from the prince, my teacher often said to me when he was alive, a person croaks to the ground, and can't choose his parents' background, why are they wrong?" Even if his ancestors may have great treachery and evil, as long as they are taught to be good and learn from history, why bother to pursue it for generations? Let's talk about Confucius Shangyun: There is no class in teaching! If there is a great talent among them, wouldn't the pearl be covered with dust and make the country miss the pillars, so the lower officials would not dare to disrespect the teacher's teaching. β
Jiang Tian's master is the emperor's master, and no one can take such a hat seriously, King Ji still nodded, and then encouraged him a few words, saying that the Academy of Sciences needs him more, and he doesn't need to worry about the official affairs of the Zongren Mansion, so he let him go. After Jiang Tian left, Zhang Qian, the king of Ji, fell into deep thought, and his brother also said that everyone is equal from time to time, and it seems that he was really taught by a teacher. But who is this mysterious old fellow, and why has he never heard of it before? If it weren't for the sudden emergence of a junior brother, could it be that the imperial brother planned to keep it hidden, and the elder brother who only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble had changed so much that his own brother was dumbfounded, obviously he was an unlearned and unskilled person, and in the blink of an eye, he became a talent in the limelight, could it be said that this was the result of that master's teaching? What method did this mysterious character use to reinvent the skin-like big brother? These questions have always been buried in his heart, in the past, because of the country's turmoil and frequent wars, he didn't have time to think about them, and now he wants to maintain the majesty of the royal family and can't delve into them, he wanted to figure out the inside story of this Jiang Tian's excavation point, but it is obvious that this person has more secrets. After leaving his imperial brother, how did this person wander to the north, when the imperial brother led the troops into Beijing, the northern land was already rotten, why did he go north alone as an old man who was about to die? and took a young man who read the books of the sages and had a reputation for showing his talents,
Ignoring the entangled King Ji, Jiang Tian got in the car and rushed to the Academy of Sciences after leaving the palace gate, and now there has always been a courtyard occupied by Guozijian, so going to a yamen is equivalent to working in two departments. Besides, there are only a few prisoners in the current Guozi Prison, in fact, the position of this national vocational college is gradually being replaced by the emerging Imperial Academy.
"You're here! The old man thought it would drag on for a few days. "Old man Song's highest education is only a person, and he is not satisfactory in the Ming officialdom. After years of grassroots work, he didn't have so many sour and fake vinegar things, and after seeing Jiang Tian, it was more like seeing his own grandson's casualness: "I have asked people to vacate a house, which is counted as your public house, and there is nothing I need to find it myself." β
Jiang Tian would save a lot of trouble talking to him, for Song Yi's sake, this was an elder, so it was not easy to put on a businesslike face: "The boss is bothered, I don't know what the juniors should do?" β
"Your Majesty ordered you to develop lead type, you will see for yourself how to start, this lead type we have cast before, but it is not usable, the West has never heard of using lead casting, so what to do can only be done by yourself." The old man still didn't understand why the emperor and Jiang Tian both recognized that lead can make characters, in his opinion, the soft and hard Cheng dΓΉ of such a thing as lead was not born to be that material, otherwise he would not have used copper movable type, and even he sometimes felt that it was a waste to let an all-round talent like Jiang Tian do this kind of work.
"I don't know what to do with the position of the national superintendent?"
"There are some prisoners in the prison, but you don't have to worry about their homework."
Originally, those inmates were at least a lifter, and it was an insult to let a showman be their teacher, but now everyone can see that Confucianism is not easy to mix, and they are also struggling with whether they should change their careers and do something else like the head of the school, Song Yingxing.
The old man changed his words and said, "You also know that the Imperial Sect is also set up in this national prison, if you still have the strength to help, why don't you go there to help?" β
Listening to the tone, it seemed to be discussing, Jiang Tian also knew that the ability of the so-called teachers of the Imperial Academy was really not flattering, and after careful analysis, it could be seen that the emperor's intention was obviously to let the modern school in disguise like the Imperial Academy gradually replace the Guozijian, so the so-called Guozijian Siye was actually the head of the grade in charge of teaching in the Imperial Academy, so this was his own work. Otherwise, the crossing emperor was full of food and supported himself, so what would he do part-time in the Guozijian.
After figuring it out, Jiang Tian could only clasp his fists and salute: "Xiaguan understands!" β
