On that day, the old eunuch came to announce the decree, leaving a deep impression on Tang An. However, I accidentally forgot what his surname was, so I could only vaguely say: "&*@公公, hello!" ”

Father-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "Lord Tang, you are in a hurry to kill our family!" I heard that you went out to talk about business, but our family is looking forward to the stars and the moon these days, and we finally look forward to you back! ”

Tang Anqi said: "I don't know why my father-in-law is looking for Tang?" ”

"Lord Tang, it's not our family that said you, although the emperor's favor makes you not have to take office immediately, but how can you say that you are now a person from Honglu Temple, you should go and say hello!" Zhang Gong said fairly, "No, Lord Honglu Temple has already complained about Lord Tang, and there is some gossip up and down the temple." Although Lord Tang, you inherited the emperor's favor at a young age, and your achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary, but there is no harm in having a good relationship with these people. ”

Tang An suddenly knew that what the old eunuch said was very reasonable, and said sincerely: "Thank you&*@公公良言, Tang An will go and report." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, Lord Tang has just come back from a long trip, you might as well have a good rest today, and go over early tomorrow morning, let's say hello to Lord Tang first, so as to save some trouble." Zhang Gong is fair.

"So, thank you father-in-law."

Tang Anxin said that this old eunuch is worthy of being a person in the deep palace, and his vision is extremely powerful. Seeing that the emperor was optimistic about Tang An, he took advantage of the fact that he had not yet made a fortune and sold favors, and the benefits in the future were naturally indispensable.

Cheng Yunhe knew the old guy's intentions, so he greeted him and secretly handed the other party a few silver tickets. Zhang Gonggong pretended to excuse himself, but he still took it into his arms. After talking to Tang An and the others for a while, he left.

Cheng Yunhe said: "Tang An, although this father-in-law is a little more diligent, his words still have some truth. You have no foundation in officialdom, and making more friends will be of great benefit to you in the future. ”

Tang An nodded and made a brief report on the trip to Lushan. When he heard that Tang An took the gold medal given by the emperor to congratulate Jinlu, even Cheng Yunhe couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and praised Tang An's cleverness.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Tang An sent two boxes of white fruits to Feixue Yue Orchid Pavilion. I haven't seen my girlfriend for more than half a month, and I really miss it. But unfortunately, when Tang An arrived, Feng Zhilan and Liu Tingge went to Hongyin Temple to burn incense, which made Tang An pounce.

After returning to the house and sleeping comfortably, early the next morning, Tang An changed into decent clothes and came to Honglu Temple in a carriage.

Honglu Temple was called "Dianke" in the Qin Dynasty, changed to "Daxing Order" in the Han Dynasty, and changed to "Dahonglu" in the time of Emperor Wu, and was renamed "Honglu Temple" until today.

Honglu Temple belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and is in charge of the court, guests, and auspicious ceremonies. All national ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, feasts, canonizations, calendars, springs, transmissions, performances, and other things.

To put it simply, as long as the matters related to the reception of court etiquette and the arrival of foreign countries to the court, Honglu Temple is responsible for it, which is a very important department of the Ministry of Rites.

Honglu Temple is in the west of Bianjing, not too far away from Chengfu. In less than half an hour, the car stopped next to a compound. At the entrance, under the three gilded plaques of "Honglu Temple", the two stone lions are not angry and self-assured, and the red lacquer door shows a seriousness.

Tang An knocked on the door, and after a while, a man who looked to be in his thirties and dressed as Svenwen opened the door and said politely, "May I ask who Your Excellency is looking for?" ”

Tang An arched his hand and said: "In Xia Tang'an, a few days ago, I was blessed by the Holy Grace and was given the post of 'foreign envoy' in Xia. I'm sorry that I've been entangled in mundane affairs lately, so I can only come to report today. ”

The man's eyes lit up and he said, "You are Tang An?" Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! ”

"You're welcome." Tang An also hurriedly returned the salute, secretly sighing that the people of Honglu Temple really have nothing to say in terms of etiquette. "I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"

"In Xia Tan Mo, it is the history of Honglu Temple." Tan Mo said with a smile, looking very kind. "Brother Tang's name is known to everyone in Honglu Temple recently! After taking the edict and reporting it quickly, Brother Tang, you are still the first person! ”

"Brother Tan has won the award." Tang An smiled, "Tang's status is low, just a scholar in the Cheng Mansion. The partial document did not arrange specific matters for Tang, so Tang had to fulfill his duty first. ”

"Haha, Brother Tang is such a wonderful person. Since he entered the court as an official, why didn't he resign from the position of the scholar? Tan Mo was puzzled.

"Alas, it's hard to say a word. The emperor just arranged an idle position for Tang, and the money was pitiful. Tang is not a scholar, I am afraid that he will not even be able to support himself. Moreover, the Cheng family is kind to Tang, and Tang An reciprocates him by springing. Tang An said awe-inspiringly.

Tan Mo admired it and said, "Brother Tang is affectionate and righteous, which is really commendable. By the way, I only cared about talking to Brother Tang, but I forgot the purpose of Brother Tang's visit. Come, come, I'll take you to meet Lord Wang first. ”

As he spoke, Tan Mo introduced Tang An into the inner courtyard and walked in front to lead the way.

There are many affairs in charge of Honglu Temple, and the temple is divided into several areas, some are in charge of ceremonies, some are in charge of foreign guests, some are in charge of sacrifices, and so on.

Tan Mo ushered Tang An into the lobby, and there were only two people in the room. In the center, a man in his mid-fifties sat on the throne, his eyebrows flying diagonally into his sideburns, and he was frowning and bowing his head to write something on rice paper.

A man in his thirties next to him was wearing a cat, with two mustaches looking a little funny, and was watching the man in the main seat write intently, and said: "Lord Wang's calligraphy, Shao Yue can't comprehend it even if he practices it for another thirty years." ”

Lord Wang laughed a few times and said, "The word old man, but I have worked hard for forty years!" Although you Shaoqing is shrewd and capable, you can't get out of that bad word! ”

"What the adults said is that Shao Yue should learn more from adults." Bazi Hu smiled coquettishly.

Tan Mo leaned close to Tang An's ear and said in a low voice: "The person in the middle is our Honglu Temple Qing Wang Mingyou Wang. The one next to him is Zuo Shaoqing Shao Yue. The two of them are the two most powerful people in our Honglu Temple. ”

One loves to listen to sycophants, and the other loves to pat sycophants, and it is really a raccoon dog.

Wang Mingyou seemed to notice that someone had come in the house, looked up, frowned, and said, "Tan Mo, why don't you stay in your ritual temple, what are you doing here with the old man?" ”

Tang An glanced at Tan Mo and sighed secretly, this guy doesn't seem to be very good in this Honglu Temple.

Tan Mo said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Tang An, who was transferred to the temple by the imperial court a few days ago, came to report today. ”

"Oh?" Wang Mingyou glanced at Tang An, his face was unhappy, obviously he was resenting Tang An for not coming to report for a long time and not taking himself in his eyes. "You're Tang An?"

Tang An nodded and said, "It's just down." ”

Shao Yue next to him looked at his nose and nose, and saw that Wang Mingyou was not interested in him, so he sneered: "Lord Tang, you are so majestic." After winning the emperor's favor, he won't take my Honglu Temple in his eyes, right? ”

This mustache looks like you're looking for trouble!

Tang An shook his head and said: "Tang An has not entered the official career, and he does not know much about many matters related to the new official's appointment. ”

"You can say a word easily, but I don't know how many people have seen my Honglu Temple's joke!" Shao Yue said loudly, "You are a mere foreign envoy, you want to have no name and no power, you are really bold." If you don't give me an explanation to Honglu Temple, how can we come down to the stage! ”

When a new official takes office, it stands to reason that he must first hand over a "share of money" to the adults who are in charge of affairs on weekdays, which can be regarded as buying peace for himself. Tang An is good, not only did he not say anything at all, but he couldn't even meet anyone. After half a month, this guy suddenly disappeared, and there were many people around him who watched the liveliness of Honglu Temple.

At this moment, Wang Mingyou and Shao Yue suddenly lost face, and they couldn't help but spill their anger on Tang An's head, which led to today's play.

This bastard, it's endless! Tang Anxin was angry, knowing that he couldn't get over this hurdle. Secretly thinking that this official the size of a sesame mung bean has not many benefits, if it is not for the emperor to save face, he will not come if he calls Lao Tzu to come!

Even Tang An, a character like Zhan Wushuang, doesn't pay attention to it, how can he be angry with this eight-character beard? With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Tang An couldn't help but turn his head to Tan Mo and asked, "What's this idiot called?" ”
