Chapter Eighty-Four: The New Man Meets the New Official
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
The name of the chief of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu is Zhu Heng, and one of his favorite stories is how his grandfather caused the whole family to lose his royal status because of a little negligence, so that he could only rely on his own efforts to gain fame.
The audience is usually a subordinate of Nansi, so naturally they can only echo it, and express their beliefs and expectations in various ways, thinking that it will not be long before Lord Zhu will be able to return to the imperial family, and it is not a problem to be crowned a prince and a marquis.
For this "soon", Zhu Heng waited for twenty years, and finally waited for a young man.
The young man's name is Liang Xiu, he is in his twenties, his appearance is indeed a little delicate, his waist is as thin as a slender woman, whether he is standing or sitting, his body is always a little crooked, not like a martial artist at all, but he is going to replace Zhu Heng as the Nansi Zhenfu.
Even if he has mixed feelings in his heart, Zhu Heng still has to greet him with a smile, and carry out the gift of his subordinates, from today on, he is an ordinary person, he has served in Jinyiwei for decades, but he has ended up like this, he is not convinced, and before he walks out of the yamen, he has a premonition that he will live in endless regret and regret for the rest of his life.
"Nansi is not easy to manage." Zhu Heng couldn't help but want to give the newcomer a dismount, and at the same time wanted to sit on this chair that belonged to him for a while, "Over the years, although Nansi has not made outstanding contributions, he has never made mistakes, looking at the entire Jinyiwei, only Nansi can do this." ”
Liang Xiu stood in front of the table, already a little impatient in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, no merit is the situation of Nansi over the years, and I was ordered to take charge of Nansi in order to change the status quo and rejuvenate Nansi, as the palace said, 'If you are not afraid of doing something wrong, you are afraid of not doing things.'" ’”
Zhu Heng was embarrassed, and slowly stood up, under his buttocks was the chair he covered with heat, even if he wanted to let it out, he had to wait for it to be a little cooler, "Nansi really needs a young man like Lord Liang, I'm old and useless, I believe that under the control of Lord Liang, Nansi will definitely make miraculous achievements early." ”
Liang Xiu personally stepped forward and helped Lao Zhenfu around the table, "Don't be surprised, the young man is reckless, I just can't speak." In fact, I also know that it is extremely difficult to be in charge of Nansi, and the boss can't just leave it alone, and when I encounter things in the future, I have to go to the house often to ask for advice. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, old and clumsy, only Lord Liang chooses."
The two became more and more polite, Liang Xiu personally sent it to the gate of Jinyiwei, watched the former adult go away lonely, and snorted softly, "Old guy."
On the first day of the new official's appointment, Liang Xiu hadn't figured out which fire to order, so he didn't invite all his subordinates, but entered the court, and worked on the chair that Zhu Heng had just given up, handling daily official documents, and looking at them very carefully.
The scribe stood respectfully aside, with the idea that he must not set himself on fire, without asking a question, without saying a word, and even carefully controlling his breathing.
Liang Xiu slowly frowned, "Nan Si spends countless amounts of money every year, and what he does is repair houses and armor?" ”
"Lord Hui, the Southern Division is in charge of the Jinyi Guard Craftsman, repairing the ......"
"I know what Nanji does." Liang Xiu said coldly, "But I'm not here for this, what about Nansi's other duties?" Why can't I see a word in the document? ”
The scribe replied cautiously: "Your Excellency is talking about seeking immortals, right?" Although Nanji is responsible for this, there are too few clues, and he doesn't have a few business trips throughout the year, so he ......"
"Hey, that's how Nansi's 'no merit and no fault' came about?" Liang Xiu picked up a paperwork, "Is this new lieutenant named Hu Guiyang here?" ”
"Back to my lord, Hu Guiyang should have arrived today, but I don't know why he hasn't arrived for a long time."
"Proud of your achievements. When he comes, let him wait a little longer. ”
"Yes, sir."
Liang Xiu lowered his head and continued to look at the official documents, and the scribe breathed a sigh of relief, the fire of the new official burned on the new captain, which was a good thing for the entire Nansi.
Hu Guiyang arrived at Jinyiwei in the afternoon, and the little official who took him to Nansi was quite curious about him and took a few more looks.
Hu Guiyang is not surprised, the last time he came to Jinyiwei, he was still a great hero in capturing the demon fox, and suddenly, his brothers died one after another, and he lost his identity as a "trial hundred households" and became an ordinary school captain, outsiders will inevitably have a lot of speculation, but it is a matter of palace secrets, and no one dares to ask more.
The new lieutenant must meet the division after the pacification, before he can really take office, Hu Guiyang was left in the gatehouse, waiting for more than an hour, there are many people in and out, who comes out can't tell when the pacification will be free.
"I'm still early." When there was no one, Hu Guiyang muttered to himself, thinking back to the situation of Nansi introduced by Yuan Mao.
Although his father-in-law Zhao Ying has served in the South Division for more than ten years, he has always been out of the way, only controlled by his immediate boss Yuan Bin, and he does not know much about the situation in the company, and he never mentions it to his sons.
In the past few years, Yuan Mao has been immersed in the Jinyi Wei Yamen almost every day, and he knows more about Nansi.
"Nansi Zhenfu Zhu Heng is an old stubborn, obsessed with the search for immortals, in the early years was quite appreciated by the first emperor, but none of the people he was looking for worked, since His Majesty ascended the throne today, he has become a lot more honest, except for sending people to visit the famous mountains and temples every year, he does nothing. And this person regards the Nansi file as a treasure, and he easily refuses to show it, your stepfather has been grinding for so many years, and he can only see a small part. As a handsome man in brocade clothes, Lord Yuan can't watch it all. ”
"Nansi's subordinate son Chou Yinmao and other twelve rooms, over the years, the talent has withered, and there is a great shortage of people, but each room has a strong backer, and outsiders can't splash in, see if you can get through Zhu Heng's level and get the three of us in."
Hu Guiyang has no special way, he can only use everyone's speculation about his background, and argue with reason, but it really can't be done, even if he cheats, he has to achieve his goal.
"Hu Guiyang, you can go and see Lord Zhenfu." A minor official came in and said coldly, as if he didn't take his "mysterious" background too seriously.
Hu Guiyang got up and prepared five sets of rhetoric in his heart, each of which could cope with different situations.
There was only one situation that he didn't expect, Nansi Zhenfu turned out to be a young man, not the "old stubborn" introduced by Yuan Mao before.
After the little official was introduced, he immediately withdrew, and the calming adult worked hard to write, except for a "hmm", he didn't even raise his head.
Hu Guiyang was stunned and looked left and right blankly.
Nansi is located in a corner of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, covering a small area, the public hall is just a very ordinary room, the most furnishings are a large number of statues and utensils, Buddhism, Taoism, witches and ghosts and other gods and demons live in harmony, both warm and weird.
Lord Zhenfu still didn't look up, Hu Guiyang said: "Congratulations, congratulations, Nansi has made such a miraculous achievement, and your lordship's ascension is just around the corner." ”
Liang Xiu couldn't pretend not to hear, put down the pen, "How can Nansi be happy?" ”
"Nan Si searched for immortals, in order to find the art of immortality, look at the appearance of adults are only in their thirties, presumably they have rejuvenated, isn't this a miracle? It can be said that it is unprecedented. ”
Liang Xiu is twenty-five years old this year, not much older than Hu Guiyang, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly angry, but a smile appeared on his face, "Someone has already reminded this official, saying that you are sharp and sharp, and you really live up to your reputation." The former Zhenfu Zhu resigned today, and this official is the new Zhenfu Liang Xiu. ”
Hu Guiyang arched his hand and smiled: "Then my congratulations are not wrong, the promotion of the new official is a happy event for Nansi." ”
Liang Xiu leaned over slightly and stared at Hu Guiyang for a while, "You are a newcomer." ”
"I'm new."
"I'm a new officer."
"Your Excellency is the new official."
"In this case, we should be open and honest, support each other, and strive to get rid of the old state of Nansi, not to make meritorious contributions, but to be worthy of the emperor's grace and the country's wealth."
"Great, my lord just spoke to my heart." Hu Guiyang took a step forward, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"I haven't thought of it yet." Liang Xiu lowered his head.
"Then wait until the adults think about it."
"Hmm." Liang Xiu revealed the intention of chasing customers.
Hu Guiyang is not the kind of person who sees the opportunity to act, and took another step forward, "I have already thought of it, please support me once first." ”
Liang Xiu raised his head again and looked at the new lieutenant coldly, although he was young, he could be regarded as having crawled in the officialdom, and he had never met such a cheeky person.
Hu Guiyang didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "I know three strange people, all of whom have stunts, and I hope to bring them into Jinyiwei and investigate the case with me." ”
Liang Xiu frowned slightly, "Investigating the case? What case is being investigated? ”
"Demon Fox Case."
"The demon fox case has ended, even if the follow-up investigation is carried out, you will not be needed, and Beisi is responsible for it." Liang Xiu lowered his head and continued to process the official documents, and after a while, he didn't hear footsteps, raised his head, and found that Hu Guiyang was closer to him, and he was tilting his head and looking at him with interest, "You can step down." Liang Xiu accentuated his tone.
"It seems that the adult's backer is not Wang Zhi."
Liang Xiu was furious, "My backer...... A little school captain, what kind of 'backer' does he dare to say in front of his own officials? ”
"I'll guess casually, if the adult can come to Nansi, the backer must also be a powerful eunuch in the palace, not like Wang Zhi, is it Wang Zhi's opponent? But these eunuchs should ......"
Liang Xiu took the case, "Hu Guiyang, find out your own identity first, this is not the Zhao family's compound, no one will condone you to mess around!" ”
Hu Guiyang spread his hands and smiled: "Look, this is what adults call 'open and honest', since we dislike each other, we might as well make it clear, and it will be better in the future." ”
Liang Xiu's eyebrows rose, but her body was more crooked, "You also deserve to 'dislike' me?" Hu Guiyang, don't think that if you have made meritorious contributions, you will be able to ascend to the sky one day, you are now a little lieutenant of Nansi, and you are all at my disposal. ”
Having said this, Liang Xiu put away his anger, sat down again, picked up the pen, and said with a smile: "The twelfth room of the Nansi Division, there is just a shortage of people in the Gui room, you go there to do something." Since you have a backer, you naturally don't need my consent for such a trivial matter as recommending a few people to Jinyiwei. ”
"Thank you, sir." Hu Guiyang had a strange temper, but also a good temper, and happily retired.
Outside the door, a small official took Hu Guiyang to the house.
It really looked like a "ghost room", a small room, covered with dust, as if no one had been in it for decades, and the tables, chairs and benches were in tatters.
"What is the duty of the house?" Hu Guiyang asked.
"Duty? Belch...... Let's clean up the house. The little official said uncertainly.
Hu Guiyang pursed his lips and nodded, "Then start by sweeping the floor and sweep it from the inside out." ”
