The Ministry of Industry supervised the construction, and the people built it for hundreds of days and nights, so when Wang Rong and Du Guangyuan and Du Youlin came to the magnificent Du Mansion in Xuanyangfang, they were all stunned for a moment.

This is not only double the size of their old home, but it is even more than three or four times

At this moment, this shrewd young man waited for the hostess to get out of the car, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Madam, according to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, this Du house was completed in October last year, and it was three times larger than before, because many of the houses were old, so they were demolished and rebuilt, and now there are no less than 100 houses of all kinds, and the garden behind has also been expanded. It is said that the original regulation will be greater, but because there is Princess Xincheng's Mansion behind, it was only repaired to the back wall of the Princess's Mansion. ”

Even if he hadn't completely walked through this huge mansion, from just a few words, Wang Rong realized how much money was spent on this mansion. Du Shiyi and her have saved countless unknown private houses, which are enough to build a lot of magnificent mansions, but none of them want to be too public, but now they can't escape the hand that the Son of Heaven thinks is compassionate. So, she bowed slightly, and immediately took the lead in entering the main entrance.

As an official government, Shuofang Jiedu Embassy pays attention to majesty, and all buildings are subject to this goal, and Du Shiyi is not keen on repairs, and it is scheduled to be overhauled for the second time since taking office this year, but it does not expand the regulations, but only tinkers. Therefore, with such a cluster of new mansions, Du Guangyuan only felt that his eyes were a little insufficient. Pavilions and pavilions, these exquisite and magnificent buildings are just that, but the courtyard walls, steps, bricks, and corridors, these details are also attentive, which is rare.

The kitchens, the storehouses, and the stables, even the places where the masters did not know how to tread, were all neat and beautiful, and there were even thirty or forty horses for the master and his servants to ride in the stables

Faced with this scene, Du Youlin finally couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, did the family raise so many horses before?" ”

In the past, Du Zhai only had a dozen horses for riding at most, but it imitated the regulations of the post station on the official road, and you could change horses and continue to move forward in those places that seemed to be guest houses.

Wang Rong glanced at Yu Jiang while thinking, and the latter immediately whispered: "Madam, I heard that His Majesty rewarded eight imperial horses from the palace stables. In addition, it was the Ministry of Industry officials who said that the owner of the neighboring house went to work abroad during the expansion, so all the horses in the stable were transferred at a low price. Because it was within the money allocated by His Majesty, it was all kept. ”

For such a lucrative matter, it is too late for the officials in charge to rub the oil themselves, so how can they transfer it in a big way? It's just that Du Shiyi is now receiving the favor of the saint, so he gave it as a gift, that's all.

After sighing softly, Wang Rong didn't think about what was still a little greasy in the construction of this house, or who added oil and vinegar to it, making it even more than expected. She turned around and glanced at Du Guangyuan, who was looking around, and only hesitated, and her eyes were on Du Youlin.

"Youlin, you go to bathe and change your clothes first, and then go to the house of the Duke of Chu Jiang in person, and send my handwritten post, saying that I have returned to Beijing and will visit when I settle down."

Seeing that Du Youlin agreed and hurriedly went, Du Guangyuan woke up like a dream: "Auntie, why don't you let me go?" ”

"Your son-in-law will come to the door for the first time, how can you be casual? You used to be in Chang'an, and I didn't often let you meet people around, but in the future, there is no way to avoid this. You go back and wash off the dust first, and there will be times when you are busy in the future."

Even if he has already come to his senses, in the face of such a life in the future, Du Guangyuan is really not happy, and he leaves weakly. As soon as he left, Wang Rongfang looked at Yu Jiang, who wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "What else did you have to say just now?" ”

"Madam, I just learned the news that this year's official assembly has a big event."

It was in the Tang Dynasty that the imperial examination system began to gradually improve, and fraud and even injustice in the imperial examination have always been commonplace. I think that in the eighth year of Kaiyuan year, Du Shiyi's subject, that is, Zhigongju's examiner Wailang Li Na accepted the invitation of others, put Ge Fushun's son in the Ming Jing Gaodi, and put Du Shiyi's scrolls in the batch of unlisted. If it weren't for the fact that someone suddenly made a fuss about it, this would be a fait accompli. In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Li Longji changed the minister of Zhigongju from a mere official to a waiter in the Ministry of Rites because of Du Shiyi's suggestion. As for the collection of officials, Du Shiyi also participated in it as one of the Ten Quan Groups, in which it was necessary to first test the book judgment, and then to interpret the annotation, the trouble was definitely not lower than that of the science field, and fraud and so on were commonplace, and the most terrible thing was that this kind of trouble had to be done once a year

"What the hell is going on?"

"Although the right minister is also the secretary of the ministry, he is too busy with all the opportunities and has no time to take care of the selection matters, so it has always been the two waiters on the left and right who preside over it. But this time, among the people who were judged to be in the middle of the book, the first place was the son of Zhang Zhongcheng of the Imperial History Terrace, and I don't know who stabbed this matter to the front of the emperor, His Majesty ordered today to let the person who entered the palace in person, and he would interview in person. ”

"It's really not a small matter."

Knowing that although Wang Rong replied like this, the implication was nothing more than to say that this had anything to do with the Du family, so Yu Jiang explained: "One of the servants is none other than Miao Jinqing. Just a short time before Mrs. arrived, Miao Jinqing personally asked someone to send a post, asking when Mrs. would arrive. ”

The origin of Shangdang Miao and Du Shiyi originated from Miao Yanhei, who was the first person to serve as a scholar in the middle school, but it was definitely not a good fate, and the two of them were pinched to the death at the beginning, and finally ended with the defeat of Miao Yansi and his advocacy Jiazhen. But Miao Hanze and Miao Hanye, the sons of Miao Yanhei, have always had a good relationship with Du Shiyi, and Miao Jinqing, who belongs to the same family, also has some contacts with Du Shiyi because of their relationship in Princess Yuzhen's annex.

After all, Du Shiyi, who is in a foreign office, has to rely on the help of someone in the DPRK to influence the transfer of officials in the DPRK and China. Since Miao Jinqing opened the twenty-ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty, he has not helped less. Of course, this is also because of Du Shiyi's request, all of which are regarded by others as chicken ribs or foreign officials who are afraid of the future, otherwise Miao Jinqing would never have the courage to play tricks since he was living under Li Linfu.

"It seems that Miao Jinqing is really panicked, otherwise he would definitely not come to me." Wang Rong pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered, "General Yu, you go out quietly to find out who is suing in front of His Majesty, and then come to report to me." ”

Yu Jiang followed Wang Rong back to Chang'an a few times, he was agile, and no one could keep an eye on him, so it was up to him to pass the news between him and Chibi. At dusk, when he came back, he was carrying a piece of news that Wang Rong simply felt incredible.

"The one who sued turned out to be An Lushan? He is the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, what is the idle business of the Ministry of Officials? ”

"Madam, Uncle Chibi said that the specific situation is unknown, only that Su Xiaoyun, who had served as the commander of Jixian County, had gone to see An Lushan. Su Xiaoyun is now electing officials, perhaps because he is not angry at the unfairness of the election of officials this time, and seeing the infinite scenery of An Lushan's return to Beijing this time, he wants to try to take the door of An Lushan, but he didn't expect that this Pinglu Jiedu envoy would really dare to pierce this layer of window paper in front of His Majesty. You must know that Zhang Zhongcheng of the Yushitai is infinitely beautiful in front of His Majesty, and after An Lushan returned to Beijing, he wanted to visit him, but he was turned away. ”

"Maybe it's because this Zhang Zhongcheng is too beautiful and doesn't take An Lushan in his eyes, so he will suffer such a big loss."

Wang Rong smiled, but when she remembered Miao Jinqing's matter, she couldn't laugh. After thinking about it, she finally called Du Youlin, who had already visited Jiang's house as soon as she arrived in Chang'an, taught him a few words in person, and asked him to go to see Miao Jinqing immediately. After Du Youlin hurried back before the curfew, she didn't care that her young son hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she hurriedly called someone to her.

"What did Miao Jinqing say?"

"He said that the servant of the ministry does not personally read the papers judged by the book, and if he evaluates the papers, he can put Zhang's son in the middle of the grade, and will never put it in the first place." After Du Youlin's original words were relayed, he thought about it and said, "Miao Shilang looked a little worried, suspecting that Li Linfu instigated An Lushan to sue. In the past few years, Li Linfu has used various means to squeeze out a lot of dissidents, and he is worried that he will be next. ”

"Even if it's really Li Linfu, then he has to have such a handle for people to catch" Wang Rong rubbed his eyebrows, and then said thoughtfully, "If he just takes on the duty of negligence, he should be able to move to the left, and I will transfer this matter to Gao Lishi." What is worrying is who will be the next servant of the ministry. ”

"Miao Shilang also mentioned this matter, he said, Wei Zhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Pengnian, the waiter of the Ministry of War, should hope the most."

Li Pengnian Wang Rong is not familiar with him, but Wei Zhi is Wang Wei's old friend, and he is Du Shiyi's cousin Wei Li's cousin Wei Li in the same year After Wei Li entered the court many years ago as a palace servant, he noticed that the momentum of Li Linfu's rise was unstoppable, and Yu Crisp avoided foreign appointments, and now he lives in the capital of Qinzhou, but it is better than being in the court and Li Linfu to death. As for his father, Wei Zheng, who used to be a Wannian Ling and was Du Shiyi's old boss, died because of his old age and frailty.

Savoring these messages, Wang Rong quickly came back to his senses. Thinking that Du Youlin was so young that he could reassure Miao Jinqing and let him pass on such a message, she was immediately relieved. She gently stroked her young son's head, and then said gently: "Good boy, it's hard for you to run like this." Your brother is getting older, and many things are inconvenient for him to come forward again, and his temperament has to be sharpened again, and I am afraid that you will need to go out often these days. ”

"Auntie, I'm a younger brother, of course I should help my brother, if you have anything, just tell me"

Du Guangyuan, who was outside the door, couldn't help but bite his lip when he heard the mother and son answering like this.

Even if he has the courage of ten thousand people, in this Chang'an City, he is not as good as his younger brother
