Chapter 18 Capitalization and Splitting
Before the time, Wang Hao, who had just been appointed as the street secretary for only a day, called his good brother Zhang Sanmu, and Sun Youcai, who was dismissed from the position of the street secretary, and the three of them went out of the street division yamen and went straight to Hanlin Lane, where Wang Gongchen lived in the imperial history.
Compared with the previous mobilization of more than a dozen soldiers from the Street Division to remove the two big stone lions in Xia Zhu's Mansion, this time, with Wang Hao only three people, it seems a little low-key.
Wang Hao, who walked out of the Yamen of the street division, carried a small wooden barrel in his left hand, which was covered with a wooden lid, and what was contained in it, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who were accompanying him, did not know.
In addition, Wang Hao's right hand is holding a wooden stick about a foot long, as for what Wang Hao is doing with this wooden stick, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai don't know.
The three of them walked east along Liangmen Street, passed the Liangmen in the inner city, continued to the east, passed through the West Corner Tower, the Right Gate, the Xuande Building, the Left Gate, the East Corner Tower, and then arrived at the Pan Tower.
Go east along Pan Lou to Cross Street. It is called Panlou Street, also known as Tushizi. It is also known as the city of bamboo poles. There are many shops and tea shops on both sides of the street, which are lit up every day and open for business, and there are many shops that buy and sell clothes, pictures, garlands, and collars, and wait until dawn before closing the market. This is called "Onishiko" by people who live in Tokyo.
In the east of Panlou Street to a crossroads, the southwest corner is the famous Sangjia Wazi, Wang Hao passed by the Sangjia Wazi door, felt even curious, and stopped to watch for a while.
Then I saw that in the Sangjia tile, there are tile lotus shed, peony shed, Liwa sub-yaksha shed, among which the elephant shed is the largest. It can accommodate thousands of people, and the wooden sign hanging outside reads the performance program list of Ding Xianxian, Wang Tuanzi, Zhang Qisheng and others
There are not only wonderful entertainment programs in the tile, but also many people who sell medicines, hexagrams, drink old clothes, explore and drink, eat, shave, paper painting, and make songs.
Listening to Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who accompanied them, they explained that these people live here all day long. I don't feel the twilight, so it's not lively.
In addition to the Sangjia tile at the southwest corner of the street, there are Zhongwa and Ciliwa in the north near the street. Among them, there are more than 50 large and small hook columns, which are also lively all day long, making people linger.
Today, if it weren't for official business, Wang Hao would have gone around these tiles to see what kind of performances were there, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful about it.
As soon as I passed the intersection on the east side of Sangjiawazi, I saw a large residential area in front of me, which was divided into the north and south sides of the street.
On the south side of the street, there are two alleys with a width of three zhang, according to the introduction of Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, this alley on the west side is the West Linlin Lane, and the alley on the east side is the East Linlin Lane.
Because Wang Gongchen was eighteen years old in high school, he won the first place in Jinshi in high school, and won the appreciation of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, and gave him the name "Gongchen".
Two years ago, Wang Gongchen was promoted by Song Renzong to be a bachelor of Hanlin, the magistrate's court, as a resident official in Beijing, and a member of the court, Song Renzong rewarded him with a three-entry and three-exit mansion in Hanlin Lane to live.
In this big mansion, the front yard is in West Hanlin Lane, the backyard door is in East Hanlin Lane, and the partial house reported by Sun Youcai as an illegal building is located in the backyard, next to East Hanlin Lane.
In view of Wang Gongchen's good achievements in taking charge of the Inquisition, and in addition, Wang Gongchen received the envoys sent by the Liao State twice on behalf of Song Renzong, and in the face of the unreasonable demands of the Liao envoys to the Great Song Dynasty twice to claim territory, he was not to be outdone and argued on the basis of reason, and denounced the Liao envoys for being arrogant and unreasonable, and the insatiable greed of the Liao monarch, so that the Liao State did not dare to move south to attack the Great Song Dynasty.
According to this, Wang Gongchen was once again promoted by Song Renzong, moved to the imperial history of Zhongcheng, and took charge of the imperial history platform, which was the highest level of the official at that time.
If Song Renzong needs to rely on Xia Zhu to use troops against Western Xia on the northwest border, then he also has great trust in Wang Gongchen in dealing with the politics of the Great Song Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xia Zhu and Wang Gongchen are Song Renzong's right and left hands, but in dealing with the matter of encroaching on the street and illegal buildings, they found the heads of the two of them, which is indeed a big irony.
Under the leadership of Sun Youcai, Wang Hao and Zhang Sanmu walked into Donghanlin Lane, he visually inspected, according to the "table wood" in the west side of the alley, Wang Gongchen's backyard is next to the side house on the west side of the alley, more than the "table wood" about a zhang.
Walking to the small door of Wang Gongchen's backyard, Wang Hao felt that when he went to Xia Zhu's mansion, he should salute first and then soldiers, after all, for these senior members of the court, they should still be given a certain amount of respect, and they should try not to turn their faces without tearing their faces.
Thinking about this, Wang Hao put down the small wooden barrel and a wooden stick in his hand first, and he stepped forward and knocked on the small door of Wang Gongchen's backyard three times.
After a short time, the small door of the backyard opened from the inside, and a family member who looked less than the age of the weak crown walked out, and rushed to Wang Hao, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who were standing outside the door wearing a "green shirt and a collar" uniform, first arched their hands, and then asked very politely: "I don't know what the three officials of the street division and the yamen are doing knocking on the small door of my backyard?" ”
Originally, Wang Hao thought that the servants of Wang Gongchen's family who came out to receive them would be as powerful as Deacon Zheng of Xia Zhu's family, but it turned out that a young family member came and spoke so politely, which made Wang Hao breathe a long sigh of relief, and felt that the next thing should be much easier.
"This little brother, please go and inform your family's imperial history Zhongcheng officials, just say that Wang Hao, the secretary of the Street Division, came to ask for a meeting, and there is something important to say to him." Wang Hao also lowered his posture, and arched his hand at the young man standing in front of him, and spoke.
This young family member can be regarded as not deeply involved in the world, and he thought that the street Si Cheng who was not a few years older than him standing in front of him was a gift to the big official in their family's imperial history.
After all, Wang Gongchen, the lord of his family, was in charge of the Inquisitor's Court before he served as the Imperial Historian, and he had the right to promote and degrade the officials in the capital who were young eunuchs.
Now, although Wang Gongchen has left the Inquisitionist Yuan, the officials of the Inquisitor's Court will also sell his face.
It is for this reason that Wang Gongchen set up a rule for all the family members, all the officials and soldiers of the fifth rank stationed in Beijing came to visit, and they would refuse to use the reason that he was not at home, but Wang Hao, who was only an eight-rank official, happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
As soon as Wang Hao's voice fell, the family member politely declined in a slightly apologetic tone: "Si Cheng official, it's really unfortunate, the senior official in the imperial history is not at home at this time, and he rarely comes back. ”
After eating a closed door, Wang Hao felt that since Wang Gongchen was no longer down, it would not hurt to let the family in front of him pass a message to him, so he went straight to the point and said: "Okay, this little brother, I bother you to give me a message to the great official in the imperial history." The partial house in your backyard is beyond the 'surface wood' on the west side of the alley, and after the on-site investigation of our street brothers, it has been identified as an illegal building.
"I now have the official decree in my hand, as well as the official document of the Kaifeng Prefecture, asking our street department to strictly investigate all illegal buildings that encroach on the streets and alleys of Tokyo, and to demolish them as soon as they are discovered. For the sake of your imperial history, the senior official is the minister of the court, and I have specially left you a day to deal with it, and I can't continue to delay it in the future.
If you don't demolish this side house in the backyard by tomorrow, then we will have to do it ourselves. I'm really embarrassed, our Street Division is performing official duties, and we can't show favoritism, and I hope that the little brother can truthfully convey what I just said to the senior officials in the imperial history as soon as possible. ”
After listening to Wang Hao's words, although his face was not good-looking, he was not angry, but responded with a blushing face: "Okay, Si Cheng official, what you just said, I will definitely convey it to the senior official in the imperial history as soon as possible." If nothing else, please go back. ”
With that, the housekeeper turned and left, slamming the door of the backyard from the inside.
Judging from the family's behavior of leaving and closing the door, Wang Hao guessed at once that this family member was angry nine times out of ten, and when this family member talked to Wang Gongchen about it, maybe he would bring private goods to add fuel and vinegar.
In addition, Wang Hao felt that he had worked hard and traveled a lot, from the street Si Yamen near Liangmen, all the way to Hanlin Lane, the wooden barrel he was carrying and the wooden stick he was holding, if he didn't use it, wouldn't he have worked in vain before.
After secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Wang Hao, who had been hesitant before, finally made up his mind, and immediately lifted the wooden lid on the top of the small round wooden barrel, only to see that it contained a small half barrel of white paint.
Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who came forward, beat Wang Hao with this small wooden barrel and the two of them out of the street Siyamen, and they didn't know what was in it along the way, and they didn't know the true face of Lushan until now.
As for what the white lacquer in the small wooden barrel would be used by Wang Hao, Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai were like monks in the second zhang, but they were more and more curious about it.
Under the gaze of Zhang Sanmu and Sun Youcai, who looked confused, Wang Hao held a wooden stick in his hand, stirred the white paint in the small wooden barrel a few times, and then used the white paint stained by the end of the wooden stick to write a big word "demolition" on the outer wall of the side house in Wang Gongchen's backyard.
