Chapter 16 Assumption of office
Overnight, the spring breeze blew away the cold, and the sun poured on Wang Xiang's face through the window, warm, this night was the most comfortable night he slept after coming to Datang.
Although the quilt sewn by brocade is silky and soft, it does not keep out the cold, he is not the original prince new, he can't do such a thing as asking a fifteen-year-old girl to help him warm his bed every day, so he always sleeps until midnight and his feet are cold.
Feeling the warm and warm sunshine, Wang Xiang secretly said that spring has finally come.
After returning from Jinguang Lake yesterday, the whole Hou Mansion was like the New Year, Xiaoya excitedly talked about the poetry meeting over and over again, Wang Steward They listened to it over and over again, but they still listened to it with relish, and when Wang Steward was even more tearful, he said that the Hou Mansion was hopeful, and Aunt Lin took the initiative to cook a lot of meals for the first time, changing the frugal style of the past.
Wang Xiang knew that there was such a group of people who depended on him through joys and sorrows, for the sake of the Hou Mansion and for this group of people who depended on him through joys and sorrows, he felt that everything was worth working on.
Today is going to report to Sinong Temple, Wang Xiang lay on the bed and enjoyed the comfort of lying on the bed for a moment, stretched his waist and shouted: "Little girl! β
There are many things in Datang that Wang Xiang needs to adapt to, but some things are not so quick to adapt, such as wearing clothes, several different clothes inside and out have different ways of wearing, if Wang Xiang is allowed to grope by himself, then the time for a morning will definitely be gone.
Xiaoya has been guarding the door, and when she heard Wang Xiang's shouting, she immediately pushed the door in, and said with a sweet smile while skillfully helping Wang Xiang to dress: "Young master, you can wake up, Steward Wang has urged me to come in several times to let me come in and have a look, he said that today is the first day for the young master to go to Sinong Temple to take office, and he can't be late." β
"I'm afraid he didn't sleep all night last night."
Hearing Wang Xiang's words, the little girl chuckled and said, "The young master really guessed correctly, Steward Wang went to the village with two dark circles under his eyes, and when he left, he urged me to come in to see if the young master had gotten up." β
"What are you doing so early in the village?" Wang Xiang asked strangely.
"I heard that Steward Wang said that the brewing workshop has been rebuilt, and now the workshop has begun to brew koji, but they don't know how to use the things that the young master asked Laifu to create, and they are all stored in the workshop."
Wang Xiang nodded and said: "This speed is really fast, it only took a few days to rebuild a workshop as big as that." β
"That's because Captain Ma Du brought a lot of people to help, and he thought that the speed of the steward Wang was too slow, saying that it was delaying him from drinking good wine as soon as possible."
"He's very positive about it." Wang Xiang muttered, raised his arm, and asked Xiaoya to help him buckle the last button.
After washing up and coming to the hall, Aunt Lin had already prepared breakfast, a bowl of chicken fungus millet porridge, two boiled eggs, and a pancake full of oil.
"Have you all eaten it?" Wang Xiang asked before eating.
Aunt Lin hurriedly replied: "I've eaten it all, Dazhu was stunned to eat three pancakes, and he is still in a panic, or the young master treats our subordinates well, not to mention breakfast in other mansions, even for lunch, I haven't heard that I can make my subordinates eat." β
Wang Xiang smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, don't be afraid to eat more, the Hou Mansion is not short of this bit of food, everyone has the energy to work when they are full, it is normal for Dazhu to eat a lot, and the safety of our Hou Mansion still depends on him and Erzhu." β
Da Zhu and Erzhu are brothers, they were sold to the Hou Mansion since they were children, and they learned kung fu with Wang Bing, don't look at their usual honest and honest people, if they really want to make a move, ordinary people are not opponents at all, that night when Wei Chi Jingde led people to break into the Hou Mansion, Da Zhu and Erzhu were stunned to knock down seven or eight soldiers, and in the end, it was Wei Chi Jingde who personally subdued them.
Breakfast became popular in the Hou Mansion at the request of Wang Xiang, and the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of eating breakfast, but Wang Xiang didn't care about this, he asked everyone in the house to eat breakfast, not only to eat, but also to eat full, to eat, to eat, anyone who does not eat breakfast will be fined wages.
So early in the morning, bursts of cooking smoke rose from the kitchen of the Marquis of Lin Chuan's mansion, which was unique in Chang'an City.
The address of Sinong Temple, Steward Wang, took Xiaoya to inquire early in the morning, so Wang Xiang saved the trouble of asking for directions, and before he got the official uniform, he wore civilian clothes and went to Sinong Temple.
The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui system, and implemented the system of three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five supervisions, three provinces and six ministries for government agencies, nine temples and five supervisors for administrative institutions, and Sinong Temple for one of the nine temples.
When asked how many grades of the supervisor of the Wang Steward Sinong Temple was, the Wang steward looked excited, Wang Xiang thought that this supervisor was a great official, but it turned out to be a seven-grade petty official, he really couldn't understand what a seven-grade petty official was excited about. Perhaps due to the influence of later TV dramas, in Wang Xiang's eyes, officials below the third rank are all minor officials, isn't there a saying that they are called three-grade officials, and if they are less than three grades, they are naturally not big officials. As for the seven products...... In the Nima TV series, every time she despises a petty official, doesn't she say that she is a seven-grade sesame official.
As one of the nine temples, the faΓ§ade of Sinong Temple is not bad, it looks quite magnificent from the outside, Wang Xiang is still quite satisfied with the place where he will work in the future, but the guard at the door who has been staring at him is what's going on, and the look seems to be some kind of idle person.
Seeing that Wang Xiang looked at him and had no intention of leaving, the guard said, "Don't stay here!" β
Depend on! really regarded me as an idle person and waited, and sure enough, it was a dog who looked down on people, Wang Xiang put his hand behind his back and pretended to be majestic: "This official is here to take office, why didn't anyone come out to greet him." β
"In office? Are you Prince New? β
There was something wrong with the guard's expression, shouldn't he be crying bitterly at this time and claiming that the villain has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, why did he have a mocking expression.
"The youngest official of Sinong Temple, except for the bookkeeper Chen, is you, the seven-grade supervisor, and today there is something in the house of the master Chen, who do you want to come out to greet you?" After the guard finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xiang with a mocking expression.
Nima, on the first day of work, he was actually despised by a guard, Wang Xiang's mood can be imagined, even if Lao Tzu is the youngest official in Sinong Temple, he is better than you, the guard who guards the door, and he is against you, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to fight.
"What's the matter, who dares to make a noise at the gate of Sinong Temple!"
When the guards saw the comer, they immediately bent down to meet them and cried: "Lord Zhengqing, Wang Jian Cheng wants to beat the villain." β
"Which Wang Jian Cheng?"
Depend on! It's weird if you can see me with your nostrils up! Even the guards at the door knew that I had come to take office today, how could Zhengqing, as the head of Sinong Temple, not know about this matter, and he must have wanted to give me a dismissal.
Wang Xiang's anger is even greater, he took office on the first day, he didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, but he was targeted everywhere, and now even his top boss obviously has an opinion about himself, can he still mix in the future, thinking of this, he felt a horizontal heart, and said secretly: Nima, isn't it just a seven-grade sesame official, Lao Tzu is still going to do it.
As the Si Nong Temple of the Zhengqing Liu Zhengyi in the Si Nong Temple alone in power, say one or the other, Si Nong Temple is in charge of the storage of the accumulation, but also responsible for the Beijing, the capital of the hundred officials of the Lu Li, can be described as the fat difference in the fat difference, the original supervisor of the Si Nong Temple returned to his hometown due to illness Liu Zhengyi intends to transfer his nephew to the Si Nong Temple as a supervisor, a few days ago his nephews have come to Chang'an, just wait for the handover to be completed to take office, did not expect that just yesterday Liu Zhengyi suddenly received a will, His Majesty the Emperor personally appointed the prince to serve as the supervisor of the Si Nong Temple.
The original position of the eunuch was taken away by Wang Xiang, and his nephew, who rushed to Chang'an, was naturally crying, but he had no way to make this will under the emperor himself, so he wanted to give Wang Xiang a dismount, which could be regarded as venting his anger to his nephew.
That guard is Liu Zhengyi's nephew Liu Guang, who has lost the position of supervisor, so Liu Zhengyi will temporarily let him be a guard in Sinong Temple, and then let him take the top when there is a vacancy in the temple.
Although he wanted to give Wang Xiang a dismissal, he couldn't really let him go, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Li Shimin, so when he saw Wang Xiang turn around and leave without saying a word, Liu Zhengyi spoke.
"But the new prince and the new prince?"
Wang Xiang stopped and turned around and said, "Yes, but since Sinong Temple doesn't welcome me, I'd better go back." β
Liu Zhengyi said with a straight face: "It's all for Your Majesty, how can you welcome it or not, if you go back like this, won't you live up to Your Majesty's grace, you must not say this again, you should do your best to do things for Your Majesty in the future." β
Dignified, Wang Xiang muttered but it was not good to insist on leaving, otherwise Li Er would definitely make trouble for himself.
"Then I'm now the supervisor of Sinong Temple?"
Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, yesterday at the behest of His Majesty, you were the supervisor of Sinong Temple." β
Wang Xiang sneered and said, "I don't know how many rank officials the guards of Sinong Temple are?" β
Liu Zhengyi didn't know why Wang Xiang asked this question, and said: "The guards are only supernumerary, not graded. β
"It turns out that it is not in the product, so what should this guard be guilty of contempting this official just now?"
Seeing Wang Xiang coldly pointing at him, Liu Guang was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to say more, but looked at Liu Zhengyi with eyes asking for help.
Liu Zhengyi's face changed and he smiled: "This is my distant nephew, I just arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, and I only arranged for him to be a guard in Sinong Temple yesterday and I don't know the rules, Liu Guang, don't hurry up and apologize to Wang Jiancheng!" β
It turned out to be Liu Zhengyi's nephew, I'm afraid that this position of supervisor was originally intended to help him, hearing Liu Zhengyi's words, and then thinking of their previous practices, Wang Xiang already knew it.
Liu Guang's face was flushed and he seemed very unwilling.
"Why don't you apologize quickly, do you have to be punished for contempt of Shangguan!"
Hearing Liu Zhengyi's stern tone, Liu Guang lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "The villain has eyes and ignorance, Taishan rushed into Lord Jiancheng, and I ask Lord Jiancheng to forgive me." β
"My nephew just came here and didn't understand the rules, and I hope that Wang Xian's nephew won't blame him."
Even Wang Xian's nephew called out, this face changed really quickly, and Wang Xiang couldn't offend Liu Zhengyi ruthlessly, after all, he would have to be an errand under him in the future, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I don't care about a guard who doesn't fit in the grade." β
"That's good, nephew Wang Xian will go in with the old man."
Liu Guang lowered his head and looked at Wang Xiang who was walking by, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and the three words "not into the product" were whipped on his body like a whip.
