Chapter Ninety-Six: The Imperial Observatory

Returning to Luoyang, the eastern capital, the spring break has passed, and the Empress Wu still has no movement to return to Chang'an, as if she wants to stay in Luoyang.

The government office of the imperial history platform in the eastern capital, located in the middle of the Taichu Palace, in the Lijing Gate, independent of the Fengge Luantai, adjacent to the secretary province, located in the northeast of the secretary province, the regulation is not small, out of the official room, there is also a left and right spring square, for the temporary residence of the court officials.

The Imperial History Observatory is divided into three departments, including the Taiwan Academy, the Palace, and the Procuratorate, the powers and responsibilities of the Taiwan Courtyard are complex, there are four servants of the Imperial History, the Palace is mainly responsible for ceremonial picketing, there are six palace attendants of the Imperial History, the Imperial Court is responsible for supervising the six departments and local discipline, there are ten supervising the Imperial History, the prefect of the Imperial History Desk is the Imperial History Doctor, but this position is not permanent, the chief is generally the Imperial History, is the fifth grade, the personnel are uncertain, and it is also a humble and weighty.

Because the eastern capital is only to accompany the capital, when the emperor is not there, there is only one servant of the imperial history plus the title of the imperial history, and is in charge of the supervision of the eastern capital.

When Quan Ce came to report, everyone in the imperial history platform was gathered, and the three royal historians were all there, and there were two of them who were acquaintances, and the only Xu Yougong who had first seen him was also the oldest, with a modest face, and quite an elder.

In addition to the three of them, there are nearly ten people in the imperial history of each academy, Quan Ce has seen them one by one, they are just polite to each other, only one person treats him very warmly, Fu Youyi, who is also serving the imperial history, opens his mouth and closes his mouth for a long time, and invites him to go to the Valley of Forgetfulness for a banquet another day, and also involves Song Zhiwen, a bachelor of Hanlin, who is a caring person.

"Since you have already seen it, please ask all of you in the Taiwan Academy to stay temporarily, and the rest will disperse" Even if there are three royal historians, the Junchen who stands in the center still says the same, and the voice falls, and the imperial historians salute and retire.

"Everyone, please sit" Lai Junchen waved his hand, knelt in the center first, Xu Yougong was on the left, Hou Sizhi was on the right, and the four servants of the imperial history knelt on both sides, and the highest level of the imperial history platform was gathered.

In addition to the high-profile Hou Sizhi, Quan Ce and Fu Youyi, there is also a Yan Baili, who is not confused when he is old, does not smile, is short and thin, and looks at everyone as if he is looking at a traitor, full of suspicion, but unfortunately he can't hide his colleagues who have worked together for many years, and he can't hide the new power strategy, Yu Nu checked him out, this person is a person with a crooked face, pretending to be honest, but in fact he is greedy for money and profit.

"The new history of the right to come, this official should explain for you, the imperial history of the Taiwan court, the general manager of the wind and news, the correction of hundreds of officials, the entry of the edict, the push of the prison and other things, the power and responsibility are heavy, and the personnel are scarce, so everyone here must be in charge of the whole thing" Lai Junchen's voice was calm, not seeing likes and dislikes, "At present, Hou Zhongcheng is responsible for pushing the prison to the prison, Fu Yushi is responsible for entering the edict, Yan Yushi is responsible for correcting the hundred officials, he has been in office for a long time, it is not good to move lightly, and the rest of the wind and news are in charge, and the right Yushi is responsible for it, and when he is familiar with the business joints, he will adjust again, How is the right to Yu Shiyi? ”

"Thank you for your compassion, the right to ask for it" Quan Ce immediately took over this errand, the wind is good, there is no wind to do it, the use of the wonderful, in one mind, both deterrent, and convenient to be lazy, is a wonderful errand.

Seeing his reaction, Lai Junchen smacked his lips, his two goatees trembled slightly, obviously miscalculated, he thought that the other party was young and very good at tossing, giving him a similar job, drying him, polishing his edge, but he didn't expect it, he was in the middle of it, this Liwei was not successful, but it was sent to him a satisfactory mood, and he waved his hand, "That is the case, it will be decided, this court will meet once every five days, and the right to Yu Shi Mo will miss the hour, please take it"

Flicked his sleeves and got up, and went out first, Yan Baili arched his hand, didn't say a word, and left.

Xu Yougong was very warm-hearted, and came forward to welcome, "This official has a few more words, the right to rely on the old and sell the old, and hope that the emperor is strange."

"Don't dare, don't dare, Quan Ce respectfully listens to the teachings of the elderly" Quan Ce is thoughtful and very respectful, and the news of Yunu shows that Xu Yougong's family is well-off, law enforcement is forgive, and there is no bad record, the only flaw is that he is a good teacher.

Sure enough, seeing that Quan Ce was sincere, Xu Yougong smiled even more, and explained the rules of the Imperial Historical Observatory for Quan Ce, and repeatedly reminded him that law enforcement should be led by peace, and it must not be too strict, it will hurt the peace of the heavens, and it will be very unlucky.

Quan Ce listened with a smile, nodding from time to time, but sighing in his heart, although this set is the right way, but in the Wuhou Dynasty, it is destined to be unpleasant.

Xu Yougong chattered for a long time before leaving, leaving Fu Youyi and Hou Sizhi, Fu Youyi intended to invite Quan Ce privately, but Hou Sizhi didn't leave, looking at him with a smile, which made him uneasy, so he didn't have much to do, "When Quan Yushi first came, if you have any questions, you can come to me, I am also acting for the chores in the courtyard, what is the need, just ask"

"Thank you Fu Yushi, don't bother" Quan Ce thanked him, watched him leave, then looked at Hou Sizhi, and joked, "Hou Yushi Panhuan is not going, but you want to invite me to dinner?" ”

Hou Sizhi raised his eyebrows, "Duh, this official has helped you a lot, you don't invite me to eat and drink, but you want to beat my mind, and you don't want to be embarrassed?" ”

This is Wu Yanyi's matter.

"Okay, okay, it's me who was rude," Quan Ce confessed again and again, "This will be made up, if Hou Yushi has three or five friends, he will also make an appointment together, so as not to say that I am stingy"

Hou Sizhi didn't have a smile on his face, and said abruptly, "It's not necessary, find a quiet place, you and I can have a drink."

The two walked out of the Yushitai, but saw that the upper and lower people were waiting to see Hou Sizhi, more than fear, not enough respect, and they were all faintly alienated from him.

Hou Sizhi suddenly explained, "Although I am named in the Yushitai, I am actually in charge of the Lijingmen prison, and I go straight to the queen of heaven, and it has nothing to do with the Yushitai, the Yushitai Prison, from Junchen himself, between each other, although they are of the same origin, but there are many discords, if it weren't for you to report today, I would still be impatient to listen to Junchen's noise"

Quan Ce listened, glanced at him, and said softly, "Brother Hou, there is a way, it is easy to break if it is too rigid."

"Brother Xian has a heart, how can I not know" Hou Sizhi sighed, "These days, I have a special feeling"

Seeing that he had something on his mind, and this place was not a place to speak, Quan Ce didn't say much, went to a clean restaurant with him, ordered some meat and vegetable tea, but never asked for wine.

Hou Sizhi was dissatisfied, "How stingy is the virtuous brother, with meat and no wine, how can he make a banquet?" ”

"Brother Hou, borrow wine to dispel your sorrows, you can drink as much as you want another day, and today's wine is still free" Quan Ce insisted on refusing to provide alcohol.

Hou Sizhi smacked his tongue, "Okay, if I have a virtuous brother who is half literate, I won't be so dissatisfied, the virtuous brother doesn't know, the foolish brother has a bad background, he is a pawn of a peddler, and the heart of the old mother in the family is higher than the sky, and she wants me to marry a high-ranking woman as a wife, the world pays attention to high-ranking women, how can there be such a good thing, and it has become even worse so far......"

Quan Ce listened quietly, only a wry smile, every family has a difficult scripture, Hou Sizhi is nearly thirty years old, and one of the bare poles is all his mother's scourge, non-high-ranking women do not recognize, seeing that they are about to stand, coercing him that if he can't marry a high-ranking girl, he will be killed on his thirtieth birthday.

Quan Ce's sympathy was great, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only eat meat silently, hoping to bring his appetite up, and it was always good to eat more.

"Actually, the foolish brother has never been idle," Hou Sizhi blushed, "I went to Pingjian County, Zhao County to perform official duties a few years ago, and met the daughter of the Li family of Zhao County, and talked about and admired each other, but the big lord of the Li family of Zhao County, her father refused on the grounds that I did not understand the six arts of literature and ink, so he ......"

So that's the case, Quan Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again, but this matter is difficult, dealing with the old man's pole has been a problem since ancient times.
