Chapter 22 The Spring Breeze Triumphs Too Early

、、、、、、、

"You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.

You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

I was born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone..."

In the gazebo, an elegant middle-aged man is raising a glass to drink, and the song "Will Enter the Wine" makes him big-minded and high-spirited. At this moment, the breeze rose lightly, blowing the man's headscarf, looking at it from a distance, it was elegant, making people see the meaning of making friends with the sudden life, and I hated to talk about the wine with such a romantic character.

Thinking of the important position he was about to take, he couldn't help but feel that he was so lucky that he could jump to the rank of heavenly official in just a few years, according to this situation, I am afraid that it will not take more than ten years to enter the cabinet counselor! If you really have to be happy in life, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, it's dry, this wine must be dry!

The middle-aged man raised his glass to his lips, raised his head to drink, looked at the distant sky and laughed loudly. He is Ruan Dacheng, who Yuan Dahai is about to find, who was in the ministry at the time, and was a jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli. Because there is no party in the court, Ruan Dacheng defected to the Donglin Party early, and has a very good relationship with Zuo Guangdou and Wei Dazhong, and is also Gao Panlong's protΓ©gΓ©.

The reason why Ruan Dacheng is in such a good mood is that he is about to take up an important position - the officials commonly known as the "Heavenly Official Rank" will be given a position in the matter.

There are six departments in the matter, and the personnel are not equal, and they are in charge of the attendants, admonishments, supplements, gleanings, auditing, and refuting the edicts, refuting the edicts of the hundred divisions, supervising the six departments, and impeaching the power of the hundred officials, and even being able to test as an examiner in the township, and will try to be the same examiner, and the palace as an examiner. As the name suggests, it is the position that manages all the affairs within the department, also known as the "section chief". In the Ming generation, except for a very small number of people, most of the officials and servants were promoted from the position of the minister, and the secretary of the ministry is also called "the heavenly official", so the official department is also called the "rank of the heavenly official".

Ruan Dacheng is about to take up the position of this "Heavenly Official Rank", and his future is limitless, so he is naturally full of spirits, and today he took advantage of his happiness to drink wine in his own pavilion with his friend Fu Zhu in the Criminal Division.

In fact, it was not Ruan Dacheng's turn to give the job in the matter, but his luck was too good. The term of office of the former officials has expired, and according to the rules, they must be promoted to the rank of servant of the ministry, and the vacancy he left should be replaced by Liu Honghua in the order of their duties, which has nothing to do with Ruan Dacheng. Unfortunately, Liu Honghua was at the funeral of his father at this time, and he went home to worry about it, and he could not take over.

Zuo Guangdou and Ruan Dacheng are close friends, after hearing that Liu Honghua could not take over, he was overjoyed, and in line with the idea of not flowing into the fields of outsiders or taking care of his friends, he immediately notified Ruan Dacheng, who was far away in his hometown Tongcheng, and asked him to enter Beijing as soon as possible to wait for his post, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.

After Ruan Dacheng received Zuo Guangdou's letter, he was naturally ecstatic, and rushed to the capital in the starry night.

Because of the great power of the officials, the officials report the candidates, and then submit them to the cabinet for resolution, and then report to the emperor for decision, and now the officials have reported the list to the emperor, just waiting for the cabinet to submit to the emperor for formal approval.

In fact, reporting to the cabinet is just a procedure, if it is not for the candidate who is too unbearable or something big happens, he can generally take over smoothly, so Ruan Dacheng is already mentally prepared for being promoted to a new position.

The secretary of the ministry is Zhao Nanxing, the first assistant of the cabinet is Ye Xianggao, his teacher is Gao Panlong, and his friends are Zuo Guangdou and Wei Dazhong.

Ruan Dacheng is happy, happy from the bottom of his heart, on weekdays, he writes some tunes and poems to express his feelings, but today, only Li Taibai's song "Will Enter the Wine" can make him completely intoxicated. After reading a few words, raising a glass and drinking it all, Lang Sheng laughed, and his bold voice floated back and forth in the courtyard, which moved the listener and felt respect.

"Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require three hundred cups of drink. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, don't stop! Come, Brother Ji, little brother will toast you another cup, in order to congratulate Brother on the joy of ascension! ”

Fu Zhen was sincerely happy for his friend's ascension, and after the previous sentence, he filled Ruan Dacheng again, and raised his glass to have another drink with him.

It's rare to have a confidant in life! Friends advise you to drink, of course you have to drink!

Ruan Dacheng raised his glass and said modestly: "Hey, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, He Xiyi said early, early, hehe..."

The spring breeze is proud, and people are drunk even if they are not drunk.

The wine was down, his face was flushed, and he glanced at Fu Zhu, Ruan Dacheng smiled again, picked up the wine jug and wanted to fill the wine for Fu Zhu.

"I'm happy today, I must drink a few more glasses, only in this way will you and I have been friends for many years..."

As he was talking, he heard a hurried voice outside the garden: "Master, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

It was Ruan Dacheng's housekeeper Ruan Bao who came, and he didn't know what to call in a hurry, and he didn't even know the rules, so angry that Ruan Dacheng immediately lost his temper, and shouted sideways: "Bastard, don't you see Master Fu here, what kind of body is it that you are shouting!" It's really going back the more I live, don't you want my family law to deal with it! ”

Seeing this, Fu Jian hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Hey, Brother Ji, today is a big day, why do you want to make such a big liver fire, it's not worth it, it's not worth it..." ”

Ruan Bao was reprimanded by Ruan Dacheng just now, and he was aggrieved in his heart, and when he saw Fu Zhen asking, he hurriedly said: "Master, Master Fu, I have to call others to get it!" ”

"What do you mean someone else has gotten?" Fu Yu was stunned, not understanding what Ruan Bao meant.

Ruan Dacheng didn't understand it, this Ruan Bao came to a sentence inexplicably, headless and brainless, how could he pay attention to it?

Seeing that the old man didn't understand what he meant, Ruan Bao hurriedly calmed down and said: "Just now, the little one went to the ministry to pack up things for the master, but I heard from the people in the ministry that Zhao Shangshu suppressed the matter of the master's promotion, and he didn't report to the cabinet at all. Lord Zhou Shipu! ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, Ruan Dacheng and Fu Cheng screamed in unison, because of excitement, the wine glass in Ruan Dacheng's hand also fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

"How is that possible?"

Ruan Dacheng couldn't believe his ears, what kind of joke, how could this sure thing change? stepped forward and grabbed Ruan Bao, and said angrily: "Master, I am the new one, how can it be Zhou Shipu's guy!" You bastard, where did you hear this rumor, and I can't block it if you want to make it to the master! ”

"Master, what the little one said is true, if the master doesn't believe it, you can go to the ministry and ask!"

Ruan Bao shook his head and said with a little crying: "The little one has ten more guts, and he doesn't dare to coax the master with such a big thing!" The ministry is now spreading all over the place, and the little one rushed back to tell the master as soon as he knew the news, but he didn't want to block the master..."

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Dacheng was already stunned, his eyes staring at Ruan Bao with beads, so frightened that Ruan Bao didn't dare to make a sound. Fu Zhen was also frightened when he saw his friend like this, and he didn't know what to do when he stood there.

In the middle of the sound, Fang saw Ruan Dacheng's body move, and then roared hoarsely:

"Bastard, Zhao Nanxing deceives people too much! Dare to bully me, ***, he did the first year of junior high school, and Lao Tzu did fifteen! ”
