It is said that Cai Yuanlang was jealous of the emperor's son, the new crown prince Zhao Heng, because of his proximity to the former prince Zhao Yuanzuo, and he secretly went back and forth, and was demoted two levels in Xiangzhou, Hunan in a row

From a fourth-rank military attaché to a fifth-rank outsider

But fortunately, he has a good image, and he is not so unpopular with the emperor, so he fell from the place to the capital

This is the second time in half a year that he has been demoted, Cai Yuanlang is full of grievances in his heart, and his family, wife, relatives and friends, with letters, words, in the situation of profligacy, and in attitude, tell his dissatisfaction

The emperor seems to really like me, I am such a person, I am such a fragrant and gluttonous, I have someone to take care of everything, I just look handsome, you should stop chasing fans, right? How can anyone be downgraded by two levels in half a year?

Cai Yuanxi saw it in his eyes, and he was also angry in his heart, and when he saw Cai Yuanlang drunk, he waited for him to sober up and persuaded him to resign and not do it

Where is Cai Yuenlong willing to work, if he is not an official, what should I do?

Open a business, do a business, or go back to your hometown in Shandong to buy a few acres of thin land, what, we are all ordinary, how about it, we are all safe and sound, Cai Yuanxi replied

Cai Yuanlang said, you just will mistake me, I don't want to resign, I just think that Emperor Zhao Guangyi is too ruthless, Zhao Yuanzuo is wrong after all, it is your son, I just got closer to your son, and he was actually demoted continuously, such a father has been going to find it since ancient times, no wonder Zhao Yuanzuo has been eating and drinking crazy in office, and he was forced by his son

Cai Yuanxi said, didn't you say that you don't care about other people's family affairs? Didn't you say that it was the emperor's own family affair? Didn't you say no? What did you say at the beginning, how did you forget?

Cai Yuanlang smiled bitterly, I just think that Confucius, I think that the sages and sages in the past have a lot of mistakes in their views on human ethics, at least, it is a mistake in the emperor's family affairs

Cai Yuanxi threw his head into Cai Yuanlang's arms and said, Ouch, our family Master Cai is quite able to think wildly, he actually questioned Confucius, questioned the words of the sages and sages, let's eat a trench and grow wise, from now on, it would be good to have less family affairs from the emperor

In June of the third year of Yongxi, Cai Yuanlang, his wife Cai Yuanxi and his family, drove a carriage to the capital to take office

When he arrived in the capital, he settled his family first and found a courtyard house to invite the whole family to stay

Then, according to the usual practice, it is better to go to the criminal department to report first, and hand it over to the official government for seal

When he took over the seal ribbon from the member of the military department, Cai Yuanlang had mixed feelings in his heart, damn, people are officials who are getting bigger and bigger, and he is an official who is getting smaller and smaller, he just regards Zhao Yuanzuo as a childhood playmate, how do you know that he is favored by the emperor like this, so he sighed

invited several colleagues in the old prince's and young master's mansion, Yao Meiting, Zhu Chenhao, and Mei Jifeng, and told them that he had been transferred back to the capital and wanted to hold a banquet in the Beijing Huibin Building, hoping that they would be able to enjoy it

When a few people first heard that Cai Yuanlang was transferred back to Beijing, they were overjoyed in their hearts, and they all said that Cai Yuanlang's secondment to Beijing was a good thing, where should Cai Langzhong be bothered, and we should entertain you

Cai Yuanlang clenched his fists and said, I will return to Beijing to take office today, everything will have to start from the beginning, there are many inconveniences, and I will rely on the help of my former colleagues in the future, and I hope that a few benevolent brothers will not hesitate to Haihan

Yao Meiting, Zhu Haochen, Mei Jifeng, Daoyan, Brother Cai, polite, polite

In the evening of the next day, Cai Yuenlong was on the second floor of the Hui Bin Building, setting up a wine reception

Yao Meiting, Zhu Chenhao, Mei Jifeng, came to visit by appointment

Yao Meiting, the word Laneige, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, a five-year jinshi of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty; Zhu Haochen, the word Pingzhou, a native of Beijing, was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty; Mei Jifeng, the word Huaiyuan, a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, was a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty for eight years

Although he is not an old man, he is a colleague, and he has served in the young master's mansion, and now Cai Yuanlong has returned to Beijing to take up his post and come to pick up the wind and wash the dust at the invitation of Cai Yuanlong

When I saw Cai Yuanlang waiting for a long time, he said that he had just come after work

Cai Yuanlang said, it's good to come

Because they are all grassroots officials, they are not as polite as high-ranking officials, and the four of them just exchanged a few words of greeting and sat down

When it is not big, the meal is served, there is fish and meat, steamed, and seafood

But seeing that the table was so rich, several people praised it, saying that even if Cai Yuanlang let the place go, he still did not reduce the style of the year, and he was still so bold, which made Brother Cai break the bank

Cai Yuanlang laughed repeatedly, he has been with colleagues for so long, and he and his colleagues have very few days together, let alone a meal, I thought so in my heart, but I said, where, where, these meals are all ordered by me according to the signature dishes of this restaurant, this seems to be a restaurant in the capital is not small, so I still feel that the hospitality is not good, I am afraid that a few brothers will laugh at me shabby

A few people just sat down with their fists clenched

Mei Jifeng asked Cai Yuanlang how Brother Cai was doing, why was he transferred back if he didn't do a good job in Bian Beiqian

Cai Yuanlang talked about how he suffered the loss of the Liao people and was transferred to Hunan, and because of how he got close to Zhao Yuanzuo, he was participated in and transferred back to the capital

Several people also sighed in unison

Speaking of which, let's talk about the former prince and young master Xin Yuanbo

Zhu Haochen said, Xin Yuanbo's old man was a hermit in the suburbs of Beijing for half a year, and was recalled to the imperial court by Emperor Zhao Guangyi, hired as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and took over the position of the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites

Cai Yuanlang said, Xin Yuanbo's old man is still the same as in the past, he can't kill an ant in three steps, or can he pac three times in one step?

A few people saw that Cai Yuanlang was still the same, so they could only reply, you are still like this, Xin Yuanbo After all, no matter what, he is still your teacher, he should not be arranged like this, and then the topic changed and said, Ministry of Rites, since Xin Yuanbo became a scholar, many major events in the imperial court have become orderly

Late summer, Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Mansion

It's hot

According to the past practice, every incumbent official should play a fan in his hand, and he should do all kinds of summer in his position, but under the rule of Xin Yuanbo, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, everyone dare not do this

Because all the officials of the Ministry of Rites have never seen Xin Yuanbo smile after seeing him as a scholar

Speaking of Xin Yuanbo, this is the case in the morning every day, and every morning is to see him take serious steps

In the court, the officials of the early dynasty could only see him, retreat from the court according to the class, and go out of the palace, the one acre and three points of land in front of the emperor, no one ignored him and went his own

But even so, he is still like this, completely ignoring the thoughts and opinions of others, as if he is a person living in his own world

In the early dynasty, when he came to his own rite department, he was still like this

In addition to seeing Xin Yuanbo's normal commuting, the people below have seen a lot of strange bosses of the Ministry of Rites, but they have never seen Shangshu who behaves like this

Treat it with more care
