Chapter 112: Duke Qin visits the Yikai Mansion
The original official positions of these three people were Neishi and the former general and Shangqing, and the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion assigned to Wei Ying seemed to be too high, and the courtiers looked sideways, and Wei Ying was not easy to accept.
When Qin Xiaogong frankly explained this, Jing Jian and Qin Feng Che Ying generously expressed their willingness to degrade themselves to their official positions and become Wei Ying's subordinate officials. However, Qin Xiaogong did not demote Qin Feng after thinking about it, but retained his original official position, because Qin Feng did not have a title, and no one would say anything.
As a result, there was a scene where Jingjian was moved to the left to Changshi during the heavy snow last winter, and Che Ying was moved to the left to become the general of Liyang.
Qin Xiaogong's arrangement was that Jing Jian would be the chief historian of the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion, Che Ying would be the guard of the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion, and Qin Feng would be Wei Ying's first assistant, working part-time to protect Wei Ying's life and safety, as well as the solution of some things that were not good to show up. After all, in Qin Xiaogong's heart, Qin Feng is also a great talent, so he asked him to cooperate with Wei Ying.
Although these three people are all from the military, they have different talent characteristics. Jing Jian and Qin Feng have political talents, are thoughtful and very responsible, and when they envoy Wei and Luoyang, they already have a faint minister's demeanor. He has a long history, and he can pick up the burden of all the trivial and troublesome national affairs for Wei Ying. Cha Ying has a high talent for military affairs and is a vigilant and brave swordsman. In addition to Qin Feng's political talents, he also has martial arts attainments that are unique in the world, and there is no hidden danger to his life safety in Wei Ying.
Che Ying served as the guard captain of the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion, not only could he provide Wei Ying with many information about the military change, but more importantly, Wei Ying had an effective escort force. These three cadres serve as Wei Ying's right-hand men, and Wei Ying's Left Governor's Mansion may become a law-changing workshop with a light structure and the highest political efficiency.
The news of Ximu Lixin on the Nanshi Daji spread quickly, and Qin Xiaogong was happier than anyone else. Wei Ying's work is always ingenious and opens up the situation in one fell swoop!
Who would have thought that such a big thing as establishing credibility for the country could be done in such a convenient way?
However, when I thought about it, I realized that it was a wonderful idea with great ingenuity.
Nine times out of ten, the old Qin people were illiterate, honest and simple, and if they issued an impassioned proclamation, they must have neither read nor remember, and at most it would be circulated among the scholars and officials.
Now that a minister like Zuo Shuchang has come forward to make a living story, thousands of ordinary people see it and recite it from the mouth, who doesn't believe it?
That night, Qin Xiaogong took Jing Jian, Qin Feng and Che Ying to Wei Ying's small courtyard.
The night was dark, and the warm and cool spring breeze exuded a slightly damp earthy smell. The four of them were all very happy, and Qin Xiaogong looked up at the sky, "God also abides by the solar terms, and the rain is coming." As soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and a drizzle rustled down from the sky.
Jing Jian Che Ying and Qin Feng clapped their hands and laughed together, "Okay! The wind and rain are smooth, and the year is good! Qin Xiaogong laughed heartily, "Zuo Shu Changqi Mu Lixin, God Gu Yu Lixin, heaven and man are one!" ”
Qin Feng pointed ahead and said, "Your Majesty, Zuo Shu Chang didn't sleep. Qin Xiaogong saw that in the dark night ahead, only the lights in the familiar small courtyard flickered, and sighed with emotion, "Zuo Shuchang goes to bed early, let's go." ”
The small courtyard of Keqing was shrouded in the vast rain and fog, clean and silent.
Jing Jian stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. The hoarse voice of the old servant came from the courtyard: "Who? Jing Jian said in a low voice: "I, Jing Jian Changshi." The old servant opened the wooden door and let him in, but when he saw that the king was behind, he was in a hurry and wanted to bow down.
Qin Xiaogong shook his hand and said, "Excuse me." What about the left chief? The old servant said, "I've been in the study, and dinner hasn't been used yet." Qin Xiaogong didn't speak, and strode towards the lighted study.
Gently pushing open the door of the study, Qin Xiaogong was stunned. The huge study is full of bamboo slips, stacked into a hill higher than a person, the hill is full of writing cloth, and a bookcase is sandwiched in the book mountain, which is the only vacant space to stay. Wei Ying, holding a long-grown goose feather in his hand, was busy wandering around the bamboo slip hill, and he was unaware of the knock on the door and the door.
Qin Xiaogong watched silently for a while, and laughed softly: "Sir, it's time for dinner." ”
Wei Ying suddenly turned around, and saw that it was Qin Xiaogong standing at the door, and hurriedly walked out of the bamboo slip hill, and arched his hand: "See your lord." ”
Qin Xiaogong pointed to the bamboo slip hill and said: "Are these book mountains all classics?" ”
Wei Ying smiled: "The classics have been put away. This is the first batch of new decrees, herbs. ”
Qin Xiaogong was surprised and silent, he knew that this must be the result of Wei Ying's hard work day and night for a winter.
Looking at Wei Ying's clear and dark face and red eyes, he took Wei Ying's hand, "Let's go, eat first, and then speak." ”
When he came to the living room, Jing Jian had already instructed the kitchen staff to bring the reheated meal, but it was a clay pot of mutton, a small plate of bitter vegetables, and a jue of rice wine.
Qin Xiaogong smiled: "You eat first, I'll wait for a while." He smiled at Jing Jian Che Ying and Qin Feng: "Let's go to Mr.'s study and have a look." So he went out of the living room with the three of them.
Wei Ying hurriedly ate a few pieces of mutton and bitter herbs, drank a large gulp of hot rice wine, coughed with water, told the old servant to remove the utensils, and got up to come to the study. But he didn't want Qin Xiaogong and the three of them to go to the living room again, Qin Feng smiled and said: "As expected, Zuo Shu Chang's meal is also fast." ”
Wei Ying smiled: "It's been a long time, and I can't slow down, how can I be good?" ”
Xiaogong smiled: "In the future, I will give Zuo Shu a sheep bone, and see if he can get up quickly?" ”
The four laughed. Wei Ying arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, please look at the first batch of decrees." ”
Xiaogong smiled and waved his hand, "You are in charge of the decree, don't worry." Today, we will discuss the opening of the house by the chief of Zuo. ”
Wei Ying said: "There are too many clues to open the mansion, and it is difficult to get ready for a while, so it is important to do things." ”
Filial piety: "The old Qin people proverb, grinding a hoe is not a mistake." The name of the mansion is justified, and it is faster to do things, so let's open the mansion first. What does Zuo Shu have in mind, although he said. ”
Wei Ying muttered: "The minister's original intention is to discuss this matter in a year. ”
Filial piety: "But why? ”
Wei Ying said: "First, it is difficult to find capable subordinate officials in a hurry. Second, the government is in a difficult time, and the new mansion is not appropriate. Third, it will take time to know whether the government and the opposition of the Qin State will accept the Orientals as the ministers of the opening of the government. ”
Xiaogong laughed, "The world is turned upside down, what are the three trivial things?" As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and said, "Let's talk about the first one first." Are you satisfied with the three I have brought to you today? ”
Wei Ying was surprised, "Jing Jian? Cha Ying? Qin Feng? If I am a subordinate official, wouldn't it be to depose the three cutting-edge ministers? ”
Jing Jian smiled: "When did Zuo Shu Chang have a worldly view? Don't accept me for this long history? ”
Che Ying solemnly bowed his hand and said: "Wei Wei Che Ying, see Zuo Shuchang." ”
Qin Feng also smiled: "Zuo Shuchang still needs to be taught well, no matter what it is, I have to humbly ask Zuo Shuchang for advice." ”
"Your Majesty? This ...... "Wei Ying was confused for a moment.
"Chief Zuo, if it's suitable, don't shirk it, they all want to have some skills with you." Xiao Gong smiled heartily, "Jing Jian has a long history of Zuo Shu and is the general adviser of affairs." Che Ying is the guard captain, equipped with 2,000 armor soldiers, and Qin Feng is the secretary of the left chief, and everything can be managed on his behalf. Guarding the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion and leading General Liyang. How is it? ”
In an instant, Wei Ying's heart surged, and he was silent, and he said categorically: "Minister, thank you." ”
"Let's talk about the second one. Qin Feng's intention is to change the Zhaoxian Pavilion into the Zuo Shu Chief's Mansion, how about it? Xiaogong asked with a smile.
Qin Feng continued: "The Zhaoxian Pavilion is not used for the time being, and it will be built when it is needed in the future, how about Zuo Shu's long-term intentions?" ”
Wei Ying smiled: "Why not? Naturally, it's wonderful. ”
Qin Xiaogong clapped his hands, "In this case, Jing Jian Che Ying and Qin Feng will prepare, and within a month, Zuo Shu will open the council." ”
"Your Majesty obeys." Jing Jian Che Ying and Qin Feng responded in unison.
"Let's talk about the third one. Any wind and waves of the government and the opposition's subjects, there is Yingqu Liang who bears it, and the left chief lets go and changes the law. Change the law to strengthen Qin, and help each other in life and death. Don't forget this sentence. ”
"Change the law to strengthen Qin, and help each other in life and death. Wei Ying didn't dare to forget. ”
The laughter of the five monarchs and ministers melted into the boundless spring rain.
On a sunny day in April, the Zuoshu Governor's Mansion, which was renovated by the Zhaoxian Pavilion, was completed.
In the center of the tall stone workshop are inlaid with four large bronze characters - the general government of the opening of the government.
The stone pillars on the left and right sides of the stone workshop are hung with mahogany plaques, and the right side is engraved with "Heaven and Earth have a way", and the left side is engraved with "The law is selfless".
Entering the stone workshop, it is a newly expanded carriage and horse farm with a radius of more than ten zhang, and dozens of horse-tied stone piles are neatly arranged in the east and west areas.
At the end of the racecourse is the gate of the mansion, which has been widened from a small gate to a three-bay mahogany gate.
The main entrance in the middle is wide, can accommodate the car to enter directly, and the door is inlaid with four large copper characters "Zuo Shu Changfu".
The left and right side doors are slightly narrower for ordinary officials to enter and exit.
Entering the gate, you will be greeted by a huge bluestone shadow wall, on which is engraved a powerful and strange unicorn beast - the hedgehog.
Behind the shadow wall is the original Zhaoxian Pavilion courtyard, which has now become a small courtyard paved with square bricks.
Sitting on the north to the south of the front is a six-bay hall, in the middle of the hall door three large bronze characters - state hall.
There are two rows of nine-bay wings in the east and west of the hall, and a wooden sign is hung at the door of each room, which respectively writes the names of Tian Tu Cao, Tax Cao, City Cao, Gong Cao, Military Cao, Law Cao, Officials Cao, Ordering Cao, Gong Cao, etc.
There were two mighty spearmen standing at each gate, and four armorers at the gate of the state hall, filling the entire courtyard with a majestic and murderous atmosphere. There is a small side courtyard on the west side of the big courtyard, which was originally a small house where the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion lived, and now it has been transformed into the residence of Wei Ying.
These two courtyards are connected together, and it is the residence of the new director of the Zuo Shu Changkai Mansion of the Qin State. Although this mansion is not large and has only two entrances, it is the largest official residence in the Qin State, and in the small and simple Liyang Castle, this mansion is simply comparable to the Qin Palace, the national capital!
