Volume 2 Chapter 2 A Chance Encounter with Sun Chuanting
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the capital or Jinling, there were temples of all sizes everywhere, more than the number of hotels, and the vast majority of temples were considerable in scale, elegant in environment, comfortable in accommodation, delicious in vegetarian meals, and the living environment was comparable to that of hotels.
Like the Chongxing Temple where Zhang Bin stayed, there are several miles in a radius, accounting for nearly half of the mule and horse streets, there are nearly 500 large and small wings, the houses are neat, surrounded by green trees, quiet and elegant, it is a rare good place to live at a glance.
This group of people, and horses, and carriages, Zhang Cha they are still carrying packages, at first glance, they are here to stay, so as soon as they enter Chongxing Temple, there is a monk who knows the guest to greet them.
Xie Zheng just stepped forward to discuss with him, and bought a courtyard house at the price of ten taels of silver per month, and as soon as he paid the money here, the monk raised his hand and beckoned a small novice, and led them to the middle of the house, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, everyone came to a courtyard house covering an area of one acre.
Zhang Bin went in and took a rough turn, and then let Zhang Cha and other four people live in the east chamber, Zhao Ru and other four people live in the west chamber, Xie Zhenggang lives in the backyard alone, and he himself lives in the middle of the main house, and the group settled down in the capital.
Early the next morning, before the hour arrived, Zhang Bin habitually got up, at this time, Xie Zhenggang and others naturally got up early, and the group went to the dining hall to finish eating, and Zhang Bin was ready to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to report.
Having learned the lesson when he entered the city, this time he did not bring Zhang Cha and other eight relatives, but just let Xie Zhenggang drive the carriage alone and pull him on the road.
Coming out of Chongxing Temple, go west along Luomashi Street, pass through Zhushikou West Street, then go north along Zhengyangmen Street, pass through Zhengyangmen in the inner city, and then go about a mile to reach the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.
Zhang Bin asked Xie Zhenggang to park the carriage in the small square outside the yamen of the official department and wait, and he walked to the porter next to the gate to make a report, and soon a servant led him inside.
He honestly followed the officer, turned left and right, and walked for about a quarter of an hour, and then came to the study of one of the chief of the Inspectorate.
The principal wanted to pass his Kanhe, carefully checked it, and then asked his residence, then took out a booklet and registered, and when he was registered, he opened a Kanhe similar to a pass, which roughly means that Zhang Bin is an official recruited by the Ministry of Officials to report back to the capital, and he needs to stay in the capital for a period of time.
After this Kanhe was opened, it seemed that there was nothing to do, but the principal asked him to go to Jixun Shiro to sign and seal, because this Kanhe could not take effect without the signature and seal of the official in charge of the Jixun Division.
In the previous life, there were procedures for signing and sealing, which is not surprising, but Zhang Bin doesn't know where Jixun Shilang works!
When the principal saw Zhang Bin's embarrassed look, he patted his forehead and asked, "This is the first time you have come to the Jixun Division to do business, right?" ”
Zhang Bin nodded helplessly: "Yes, please give me some advice." ”
The principal stood up with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Anyway, it's nothing to do here, I'll take you to Master Sun." ”
After that, he raised his feet and walked out, and Zhang Bin naturally followed with a thousand thanks.
In fact, the Ministry of Officials should have issued him another waist card, which was the check card used to enter the palace in the early dynasty, because Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that all officials in Beijing, regardless of the size of their official positions, must go to the early court, and all officials from other provinces who come to Beijing to report their work must also go to the early court.
However, at this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seems to have gone full-time as a carpenter, and all the big and small things are handed over to Wei Zhongxian to deal with.
Ji Xun Shiro's study was not far from the principal's study, and soon, the principal led him into Sun's study.
Although this Lord Sun's expression was serious, he was very easy-going, and he didn't embarrass Zhang Bin, but just looked Zhang Bin up and down, and then happily signed his name and stamped the big seal.
Zhang Bin took Kanhe and was about to thank him, but he was suddenly stunned.
This, this, this, the name of this Jixun Shilang turned out to be Sun Chuanting!
There may be more than one official named Sun Chuanting in history, but Zhang Bin can be sure that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is definitely only one official named Sun Chuanting, which is too coincidental.
This is one of the best generals in the late Ming Dynasty, do you want to find a way to get close to him?
Sun Chuanting saw that he was stunned and didn't move, and couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter, is there any problem?" ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly shook his head and said: "No problem, no problem, it's just that I've heard the name of the adult for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see it today." ”
This was originally just a kind remark in the form of a golden balm, he just wanted to cover up his gaffe, but he never thought that when Sun Chuanting heard this, he actually changed his serious face and said with a smile: "What a long time to hear of the name, the descendants of the generals of the grandfather of the country, Sun is just a nobody, but you, you are on the gold list at a young age, and the future is limitless." ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he lost his voice and said, "Are you also ......?" ”
At this time, Sun Chuanting seemed to think of something unhappy, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Sun is afraid that he is going to disappoint Grandpa Guo, but it is you, the future is immeasurable, the future is immeasurable, it just so happens that during this time, I also live in Chongxing Temple, and we can sit and sit when we are free." ”
After that, he waved his hand directly, which meant that he didn't want to say any more.
Seeing this, Zhang Bin had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "The lower official has retired, and when Master Sun is free, the lower official must go to listen to the teachings." ”
After saying that, he respectfully withdrew.
Shocked, it was too shocking, he really didn't expect that Sun Chuanting would be the same as him, and he was also a descendant of the British generals of the first line.
With this relationship, we must take a good look at it, this benevolent brother, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, is a great man.
He was thinking about how to win over Sun Chuanting, but the principal next to him suddenly asked, "Lord Zhang, you don't know about Lord Sun?" ”
Zhang Bin saw Sun Chuanting for the first time, how could he know anything, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Lord Sun?" Looking at him, he seems to be a little, seems to be a little frustrated. ”
The principal shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it's not just frustration, Lord Sun has already submitted his resignation." ”
Resignation! Zhang Bin was taken aback again, what is this for?
You must know that Ji Xun Shilang is already a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he looks like Sun Chuanting is only in his thirties at most, so he is in a high position at such a young age, why should he resign?
He asked a little incomprehensibly, "Why is this Lord Sun?" ”
When the principal heard this, he looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "This is not easy to say, if you are free, persuade Master Sun." ”
After that, he acted as if there was no Zhang Bin by his side, and walked away in a big stride.
Zhang Bin is inexplicable, how can this be fat?
