Two days later, the news that His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor was preparing to celebrate his 70th birthday still spread. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's so sudden! Ji Chong's decision caught all the officials off guard. Who would have thought that an emperor who had never had a birthday since he was forty years old would suddenly go crazy and have a big birthday. Without warning, everyone was in a hurry, and the entire capital was boiling over it.

One of the busiest is the Ministry of Rites, there are too many things that need to be handled, but the royal rules are extremely cumbersome, everything has an ancestral system, you can't act recklessly, every step has to be step-by-step, not to mention adding, omitting, even adjusting the order is not allowed.

These days, Jiang Yun's main responsibility is to decorate the façade, replace what should be replaced, and lose what should be lost, except for the house that was too late to rebuild, so he was forced to give up the plan to demolish it, and he vowed to do his best almost regardless of the cost!

At first, everyone, including Gong Xi, didn't understand why Jiang Yun came, until the tenth day, when he sent a message from the east abroad, and he was scheduled to come to the court to worship his birthday in a month, and everyone suddenly realized that they had something to do about their feelings.

This is still a stubble, and then several military frictions between the Khitan and the Jurchen tribe were written into a transcript by the border garrison general, and they were continuously sent to the capital.

According to the rules of Honglu Temple, the materials for greeting belong to the emperor personally, but the negotiation is different, including war claims, as long as the silver income related to the interests of the state, the department in charge of negotiations can extract a small amount of kickback.

What does this mean? I have an income!

Concerned about personal interests, the enthusiasm of all the officials under Jiang Yun was fully mobilized, and no matter how hard they worked to do things, they just pointed to living by this ticket sale.

On this day, Jiang Yun got up early in the morning, washed up and had breakfast in a small shop on the street, and rushed to Honglu Temple non-stop. Everyone's interest is very high, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all. He went so early, mainly because he was afraid that there was a place to make money, and if he was not there, it would be easy for him to make mistakes.

Feng Changyue, the secretary of Honglu Temple, is not a big official, only four grades, but the official authority is not small, and he is an officialdom fritter in his forties. It stands to reason that this kind of person should have some eyesight, but Jiang Yun went to apply for a few repair funds, and this product was always held in a bad way, and he shirked it in every possible way, and there was no money. For this matter, Jiang Yun had a very unpleasant quarrel with him, and finally made up his mind and settled all the expenses by himself.

After rushing to the Fuyi Division of Honglu Temple, he saw a group of people sitting around from a distance, sighing, lazily making tea and chatting, and he walked up quickly. "What's the matter? It's only been a few days and you're not busy? Don't do this, get to work! Let's see what items need to be added, and the back wing room is also sorted out by the official, and the daily necessities should be supplemented, all the good ones are bought, and the expensive ones are bought! ”

Seeing Jiang Yun, everyone immediately stood up, and Gong Xi sighed and said, "My lord, you are here!" Something went wrong. ”

"What's wrong again?" It's like a dog, how can he hear this sentence everywhere?

The black-faced man Wang Bin looked angry, and couldn't help but say loudly: "It's too deceitful!" Did you know? Our work is robbed! ”

"Robbed?" Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back to his senses. "What kind of robbery?"

"What else can I do? The job of receiving foreign envoys from the East was robbed? Wang Bin said hatefully: "Early this morning, Liao Hui came to say that the matter of going abroad in the east has now been handed over to their An Rong Division, so let's not be busy." ”

He was so angry that he didn't even bother to call him an "adult", and he just named him when he opened his mouth.

"And that kind of thing?" Jiang Yun's tone was very flat, it wasn't that he wasn't angry, he hadn't had time to get angry yet. "Let's do our job with them, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is our duty to receive foreign envoys from the east, so can we rob it? Who cares about him? ”

"He has Lord Feng's official document, and it is covered with the big seal of Honglu Temple, and he can't ignore it."

"Lord Feng has given permission?"

"Not really."

"Paralyzed!" Jiang Yun is on fire this time. "What's it, we've been busy for so long, and he's coming to get ready-made? It's not such a cheap thing, don't worry, what should you do, I'll go find Feng Changyue. ”

After appeasing everyone, Jiang Yun rushed to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"Lord Feng."

"Oh, it's Lord Jiang? What's the matter? ”

"It's not a big deal." Jiang Yunpi smiled and said, "I just want to ask Master Feng what my Fuyi Division's responsibilities are." ”

Feng Changyue's face remained unchanged, and he replied lightly: "When Lord Jiang took office, didn't he already know all this?" ”

"Yes, the lower officials already knew about it when they took office, but at present, it seems that there is a difference from the actual situation." Jiang Yun hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask Lord Feng, can you go abroad in the east within the scope of my Fuyi Division's duties?" ”

"Hehe, it turns out that Lord Jiang is here for this." Feng Changyue said with a smile: "What is the so-called matter of sending an envoy from the east to my Great Zhou this time, Lord Jiang should be clear. The stakes are too high to be missed. And before that, Fuyi Division had not dealt with foreign clans for several years, but I was afraid... An Rong Division is much more experienced in this regard, so he handed over this task to Lord Liao. ”

"What Lord Feng means is that it is completely for the sake of the imperial court, so that An Rong Si can act instead of my Fuyi Division?"

"It's nature."

"Well, since it's for the court, the lower officials don't have anything to say. This matter has made Lord Liao worry a lot, but one yard is one yard, and all the proceeds of this matter have to belong to my Fuyi Division. ”

Feng Changyue said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"You know there are no rules, too?" Jiang Yun smiled, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "Then please say it again, whether it is for the court, or for the silver for the benefit!" ”

"Jiang Yun! What do you mean! Feng Changyue suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "This is your attitude when talking to Shangguan?" ”

"Xia Guan doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to seek justice." Jiang Yun replied without being arrogant or humble: "Lord Feng, his Liao Hui's An Rong Division is your subordinate, isn't the Fuyi Division of the lower official?" These preludes are officials at all, look at what kind of life they are living! Four dollars a month, what is enough? He An Rong Si earns a lot of money every year, we are envious of those who eat and drink spicy food, and it is not false that his eyes are red, he has not made them stumble, and he has played tricks, right? How many years, I finally waited for an opportunity, these days they have been busy before and after the leisure, you come to such a hand, the lower official will ask, do you still have a little conscience? I tell you, don't bring such a cold mixture! ”

was split by Jiang Yun and said it all over the place, not to mention every sentence in theory, the life of everyone in Fuyi Division is well known, Feng Changyue was annoyed in his heart, but there was no entry point to refute. After holding it for a long time, he sighed: "Don't get excited, this matter is not the intention of the official, it is ordered by the Ministry of Rites, and the official just acts according to the order." ”

"Ministry of Rites?"

"Not bad." Feng Changyue's eyes shone. "Lord Jiang, what this official said is not to be heard, I am afraid that you caused this matter. Your Majesty's birthday, the Ministry of Rites is very busy, at this juncture, how can you meddle in the affairs of my Honglu Temple? What Lord Jiang did after entering Beijing, the official has heard a little bit, but I am afraid that he has offended someone, and people will not see you. The Ministry of Rites is the upper yamen of Honglu Temple, and they have to do the same when they order their own officials. ”

This is very clear, it's useless for you to look for me.

The Ministry of Rites intervened?

Jiang Yun's brain was running fast, this matter made people wonder, against him? What's the point? After entering Beijing, he adhered to the principle of being a low-key person, and he offended only a handful of people.

Ji Mingcheng? Ji Yu? Fang Yaqing? It doesn't seem to be, Jiang Yun didn't deliberately hide his financial resources, these people should know that he is not short of money, and the agreement between the old emperor and him is also a secret, on the surface, it seems that doing this kind of thing is nothing more than adding a little block to him, what's the point?

After thinking about it, Jiang Yun simply didn't think about it anymore, said goodbye to Feng Changyue, and walked straight to the Ministry of Rites.
