Chapter 160: Chen Zhixian's distress
According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as 10,000 female actors in Bianliang City, there are not 1,000 or 800 famous ones, and there are as many as 3 or 500 really popular famous actors.
Taking advantage of lunch, Lotte and Namenzi had a few dollars, and asked Namenzi about the residence of Chen Zhixian, who had been promoted to serve as the imperial envoy in the palace, and the doorman went out to inquire with a smile. When I came to Bianliang, my old boss always had to pay a visit first.
It's really inconvenient to have no one around to call, Lotte thought to himself, and then wrote a letter to his family, in addition to reporting safety, and transferred Shakuchi to his side for use.
But then again, the steamed buns in Taixue really taste good, no wonder they were blessed by Emperor Shenzong at the beginning, and Lotte was also full of praise.
In Piyongli, unconsciously, Lotte has become the focus of attention. In the afternoon, more than ten pink invitations fell on Lotte's desk, according to Xie Chang's explanation, Lotte knew that these female actors who sent invitations were all well-known red cards in various Qing Lou Chu Pavilions in Bianliang City.
Lotte knows very well in his heart that these female singers just want to ask him for a poem to become famous, but now he is also a little famous, and he doesn't need to rely on female singers to sing his own poems to become famous as before.
Even Lotte thought in his heart that he needed to be famous, and he also wanted to find those real big-name female actors to sing his own poems, and he still had to store some goods in his stomach for emergency use, which was really a waste on these half-red female actors.
So Lotte replied to all the people who came to deliver the post that he couldn't take a break from his recent academic schedule.
Those who came to deliver the posts saw that Lotte received a bunch of posts, and they also expressed their understanding in their hearts, although they didn't invite Rakuten, they would have an explanation when they went back.
When the lantern was approaching, the man turned back and told Lotte about Chen Yushi's address.
The location of the Imperial History Department is near the Taiping Xingguo Temple (near the intersection of today's Kaifeng Provincial Government West Street and the commercial compound), Chen's residence is near Jiaomenzi, Lotte unfolded the newly bought Kaifeng map estimated, Jiaozimen is more than ten miles away from Biyong, and now it is getting late, Lotte decided to visit Chen Yuen tomorrow evening.
Buying this map of Kaifeng City, Lotte also took a lot of effort, the founding of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao, Western Xia, and Tubo wars in turn, only to make the Great Song Dynasty anxious, and the Central Plains is always filled with a strong sense of hostility. In order to reduce the possibility of defeat, but also to prevent the enemy from grasping the inside of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty raised the map to the height of military secrets, and the enemy could not see it if it could not be seen by the enemy.
However, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty was developed and commerce was prosperous, and merchants could not do without maps when they traveled to states and counties, and scholars entered Beijing to take the exam, so the imperial court only allowed maps to be sold to their own people. In order to buy this map of the capital, Lotte not only had to show his identity and road guides, but also needed a certificate issued by the Biyong Academy.
When buying the map, Lotte also knew that not only the map was the local chronicle that was commonly compiled throughout the Great Song Dynasty, but it could not be sold to foreigners, because the local chronicles generally depicted the local mountains, rivers and main buildings, and the Great Song Dynasty was afraid of fighting wars for many years, so it was forbidden to buy them all, and only the people of the Song Dynasty were allowed to buy them, not only the Liao, Tubo and Tangut people, but also the subject country of Goryeo (now North Korea).
Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty are separated by the Liao State is not bordered, and nominally it is still a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, but Goryeo is a full wall riding faction, which is also the sorrow of the small country and the widows, it is really forced to be helpless, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao inherited the mantle of the Tang Dynasty at the same time, Goryeo pursued a policy of currying favor on both sides, and at the same time made two surnames slaves to the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State as ministers, so the court was very disgusted with North Korea, and had to guard against it, which was also a helpless move.
In addition to the maps and local chronicles of the Great Song Dynasty, together with the historical books such as "Historical Records", "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han", "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and so on, the Great Song Dynasty also prohibits foreigners from buying, for the Khitan, Tubo, Western Xia and other barbarian lands, the history books record the large and small wars that have occurred since ancient times, containing rich military skills, the military strength of these countries has surpassed the Great Song Dynasty, and then let them learn the art of war, the Great Song Dynasty is not dangerous.
For this move by the imperial court, Lotte couldn't help but scoff at it. When chatting with Mu Zhutou when Caizhou had nothing to do, Lotte knew that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he had already sent spies to each other with the Khitan, Tubo, and Western Xia, and had already drawn the terrain and landforms to each other, and to spy on each other's internal affairs by actual observation, what maps and local chronicles played a role.
On the second day, Shen Shi was more than half of Lotte and Xuezheng took leave, took the map in hand and went to the inner city of Bianliang, crossed the Longjin Bridge along the Outer Royal Street, entered the Suzaku Gate and entered the Inner Royal Street, crossed the Zhou Bridge, and walked along the Bianhe Street to the vicinity of the Jiaozi Gate.
The Imperial History Department is adjacent to the Kaifeng Mansion where Bao Longtu sat in that year, and the Imperial History Department of the Great Song Dynasty is also quite interesting, and the Yamen of the Imperial History Department is different from the north to the south as usual, but sits south to the north (face) north, and has become a real "South Ya".
found Chen Yushi's residence, Lotte knocked on the door, and the subordinate who opened the door, Lotte, also recognized that it was the subordinate of the family that Chen Zhixian left by his side when he was in Pingyu.
The family asked Lotte to wait outside the door for a while, according to the current level, Chen Yushi is also a deputy department-level cadre, so he naturally has to take some shelves, and after the family went back to report, they brought Lotte into the house.
Compared with the original in Pingyu, Chen Yushi seems to be a lot downtrodden, when Pingyu is the county magistrate, Lord Chen goes in and out before and after hugging, there is a guard of honor for the sedan chair man, everyone has to respectfully call the county lord when they see it, and now Chen Yushi's residence is the same as Lotte's hometown in Pingyu, three rooms in front of the main house, two wings, it looks like it is still temporarily rented.
Seeing Chen Yushi's appearance, Le Tianzhen doubted whether Chen Zhixian was secretly demoted by the imperial court. However, when I think about Bianliang City, the imperial capital where there are many seven and eight products like dogs, and three and four products are full of streets, it is normal for Chen Yushi to be treated like this, after all, Chen Yushi now has a tooth tag on his waist that the magistrate does not have.
Although Lotte is currently a student, Lotte used to be (including now) also had a seven-rank military attache official body, and it was a great contribution to the state.
"Seeing the appearance of this official, is it the same as being demoted?" Imperial Envoy Chen smiled bitterly.
Lotte said with a smile: "Although the magistrate is surrounded by the scenery, where is there such a noble Beijing official, Lord Chen has a bright future in the future." ”
"Are you really promoted as an official?" Imperial Envoy Chen sighed.
"Everyone knows that the imperial history is noble, so why should you sigh." Lotte persuaded, but he was surprised in his heart, with Chen Zhixian's previous reserved appearance in front of him, he could sigh like this, naturally he encountered a tricky matter, or he was very unhappy as an official in Beijing.
Chen Yushi smiled bitterly and said: "This imperial history is noble, it depends on when you become this imperial envoy." ”
Chen Yushi's words were only half said, but it was difficult to say anything about the following.
To be honest, the work of the imperial history is really not easy to do, the main responsibility of the imperial history is to correct the hundred officials, especially the imperial history counselor can "hear about the incident", that is to say, the imperial history counselor heard a certain official or something, there is no evidence, and he can also be impeached, even if the impeachment is wrong, he will not be held responsible.
To put it bluntly, from the prime minister to the petty officials from the ninth rank to the end, they are all the objects of impeachment in the imperial history, and in this way, the tension between the Taiwan officials, the prime minister, and the hundred officials has been formed, forming two hostile camps. Of course, there are also some officials who will act with the face of the imperial history.
Lotte knew in his heart that even when the monarch was virtuous and the ministers were clear, the imperial history was also very difficult to offend people, and now the government was controlled by the six thieves and their henchmen, and the court atmosphere was extremely bad, and Chen Yushi, the official, was even more difficult to do.
In fact, on the day when Chen Zhixian's edict arrived in Pingyu, Lotte knew it in his heart.
Chen Zhixian sighed and talked about the old things, "In the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty, my uncle was the right Zhengyan, and later he was promoted to the left secretary. Gong Jian, the imperial historian, impeached Cai Jing and was expelled from Beijing by Cai Jing, and his uncle came forward to defend Gong Jian, and wrote to impeach Cai Jing and others for forming a party for personal gain, misleading the country and the people, and then wrote to the Empress Dowager to interfere in politics, and was demoted to the supervisor of the Yangzhou Academy of Food Sciences; Soon transferred to the governor of Wuwei Army, the following year was recalled to Beijing, Zeng Bu had promised his uncle to try to buy with his real position, but was sternly rejected by his uncle, and was demoted to the prefect of Taizhou! ”
Lotte thought for a while and asked: "At present, Cai Jing is in charge of the government, and the adult means that the Cai Party intends to move the adult to this position?" ”
"The imperial history has the right to 'listen to the wind and play people', and must perform things once a month, which is called 'monthly lesson', and must be impeached for 100 days, otherwise he will be deposed as a foreign official or punished." Chen Yushi nodded, and said: "Now that the government is controlled by the traitorous party, the party is densely packed with the government and the opposition, even if they have done all the bad things that everyone knows, but who can help them, that is, the official appalled these traitors, there are traitors who control the government, and these traitors will not be dealt with in the slightest, so what is the difference between the official and the humiliation?" It's not surprising that he ended up like my uncle. ”
In this regard, Lotte is deeply sympathetic and helpless, and the work of the imperial history is really embarrassing.
Sighing, Chen Zhixian continued: "Now that this official has been in office for nearly a month, don't say that he is an impeacher, even if he has never attended the monthly class, if he continues like this, he will have a reputation for mediocrity and incompetence, so that it will only be a matter of time before he is punished and deposed!" ”
Seeing that Lotte was silent, Chen Yushi asked helplessly: "You have always acted cautiously and resourcefully, and today I have an idea with this official!" ”
Troublesome, really troublesome, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to be a royal history.
Lotte suddenly remembered what happened the night before and said, "Since you can't step on the elephant, you might as well step on the ants first!" ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhixian was puzzled.
Lotte said: "Elephants, lions, tigers and even rabbits and mice can't be stepped on in the middle of the court, adults might as well start small, since you can't play the Beijing official, you can play the foreign petty official!" ”
"This official has just come to the capital to take up his post, where is there anyone who can be called, is it impossible to ask this official to go out and show his face?" Chen Zhixian's voice was a little angry.
Lotte smiled: "What's so difficult about this, I'll talk to the adults about something here, it's enough to ensure that the adults will complete the matter of the 100-day bomb people!" ”
"Impone whom?" Chen Zhixian was overjoyed.
Lotte replied: "Impeachment of the grand chapter!" ”
"Kaifeng Yin Shengzhang?" Chen Zhixian's face turned pale and shook his head repeatedly, with a little anger in his tone, "Sheng Zhang is a henchman of the inner servant Zhu Mian, who is used to flatter the powerful and powerful, and is inclined to China and foreign countries, covets rewards with prison emptiness, and is known for killing and poisoning, what is the difference between letting the official play him and letting the official seek humiliation?" ”
