Chapter 377: Waiting
The husband and wife talked for a while, Ji Qingling thought that Gu Yanzhang would enter the palace tomorrow to meet him, because he was afraid that he would stay up late and his energy would be low, so he hurriedly urged people to wash and sleep early.
Early the next morning, Gu Yanzhangyin got up at the beginning of the day, ate some breakfast that was not soup or water, and was easy to fill, changed into official clothes, put them on, and then took the pine knot to the door of Zhongshu.
Because he asked His Majesty about the date of his majesty's meeting last time, he only came here every day, and this time it was the first time he went into the side room of the public hall to wait.
As soon as I pushed the door, it was almost full of officials waiting to be seen, and only two or three corner seats remained.
It was almost a quarter of an hour early, but now it seems that it is still not positive enough.
While laughing at himself, Gu Yanzhang raised his legs and entered the door.
Although the world is in chaos and is the prime minister, after all, the head of the society is still the Son of Heaven, according to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, whether it is a Beijing official to a court official, or a foreign pro-people official to a new position, and a change in dispatch, almost all of them must be met by the Son of Heaven in person, with his approval, and then after the following from the Chinese book, it can really be regarded as the completion of the procedure.
The Son of Heaven has a lot of opportunities, countless important tasks are waiting for him to deal with them, and the time used to meet his subordinates is naturally limited.
For ordinary courtiers, except for a very small number of important ministers who can enter the center of power, the rest of them only have the opportunity to see the Son of Heaven a few times in their lives.
It was summer, and the weather was getting hotter, and the wooden windows of the wing room were wide open, but they did not succeed in directing the wind into the house.
As soon as Gu Yanzhang entered the door, the officials who were drinking tea or talking only raised their eyelids and glanced at him, and saw that he was wearing a low-grade green robe, and saw that it was a young face, so they no longer paid attention to it, and drank tea and chatted again.
The officials in the middle book have their own errands, and they are all so busy that their heads are about to burn, so naturally it is impossible for anyone to come in to take care of them, Gu Yanzhang looked around, and found a seat and sat down.
Before he could sit down, he heard someone whispering not far away: "Now not only our place, but also the security army and the army in various places are also disarming, have you heard any movement in the capital?" ”
"I haven't heard that the forbidden army is going to be cut, but there is no movement in your Guangxin army?"
"How can there be no movement, I can only press it hard, I used to make a lot of trouble when I beat the barbarians, but now I have to jump up one by one, so I can only forcibly send it back to my hometown first."
Gu Yanzhang looked to the left, only one side of the table was separated, and the two officials were wearing crimson official robes that only fifth- and sixth-grade officials could wear, and they were talking together.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his ears and eyes are clear, and he has served in the security army, and he knows a lot about many things.
Disarmament is a matter that has been decided by the DPRK and China since last year; first, because the war in Yanzhou has ended, many of the soldiers originally requisitioned and issued do not need to be used anymore; second, the DPRK and China have too much military expenditure, and the state treasury cannot make ends meet, so they can only disarm and save money.
Originally, Yang Kui was supposed to preside over this matter, but as soon as he returned to the court, he began to complain about his illness, dragging it back and forth, and the Privy Council could only arrange another person to carry it out, and it should have already begun to be implemented for a month or two.
Disarmament is a labor pain, but the long pain is better than the short pain, and things must be done, even if there are some complaints in the army, there is no way to do it.
Gu Yanzhang didn't want to hear someone's whispering, so he turned his head back.
He has only been an official for more than a year, his qualifications are not deep, and it is a normal debriefing, so he waited for many days before he arrived. According to the order of the last question, the order of his majesty's meeting today should be around a quarter of noon, and it is still very early to count the hours.
Taking advantage of the rare gap, Gu Yanzhang thought about the dispatch he might get this time.
The room was quiet, only a few people thought of old acquaintances and whispered to each other, and the rest sat in their seats stiffly.
It is rare to face the saint, if you behave well, maybe you can let the Son of Heaven remember your name, and if the imperial front is not properly handled, even if you work hard for many years, you will be recognized as a "mediocre" by the Son of Heaven, then no matter how much effort you put into it, it will be in vain.
Everyone was thinking about it, but they suddenly heard a chaotic footstep outside, and one of them was wearing the clothes of a Xu official and entered the door.
"Where are the officials who came to see you at the end of the day?" The official asked businessmanly.
Several officials in the first batch stood up and were about to follow out the door, but they saw that there was still a person behind the official.
"Which one is Gu Yanzhang?" The man shouted at a shrill voice.
Gu Yanzhang was slightly stunned, stood up, and said, "Here." ”
The man was wearing a soft-footed veil and a scarlet robe, dressed as a eunuch, and when he saw Gu Yanzhang standing in the corner, he immediately said: "There is a decree in the sage, and the prince Zhongyun and Gu Yanzhang will be there together." ”
The atmosphere in the wing room suddenly froze, and dozens of eyes fell on Gu Yanzhang together, among them curiosity, surprise, and envy.
Gu Yanzhang stepped forward to accept the order, and walked out with the people he had met at the time.
He had just gotten out of the door, and the rest of the people in the room immediately looked at each other.
"Who's that? Looks good and young. ”
"The surname Gu, what are the two words?"
"When is he in line today? What a saint suddenly proclaimed more and more? ”
"It's not overstepping, it's just mentioning the hour......"
Soon someone went looking for today's interview list.
When the names above were placed in front of everyone, several people couldn't help but let out an "oh".
One of them asked, "Which one is this?" ”
Someone replied, "Where are you stationing?" This is the champion of the department, and the previous term was the general judge of Ganzhou, the one who went to Fu Fu Shouqu to raise the displaced people and repair the longevity canal. ”
He also said: "This is a pro-people official, and it has nothing to do with you, and it is common for you not to know." ”
Unexpectedly, the man said: "I'm afraid it's not the one who sentenced He Liuniang in Ganzhou to kill her husband?" ”
He also said: "I have been living in Beijing for a month, and I heard that this person was mentioned in the book in the Xiuyi Workshop. ”
There was silence in the room for a moment, and someone finally couldn't help but sigh: "It's only two hours until noon......
He didn't, and he didn't dare to say it all, but in the room, almost everyone understood the meaning of the last half of the sentence.
- Obviously there are only two hours left, is the Son of Heaven not willing to wait for such a moment?
The person who spoke was even more sour in his heart.
He was originally the first batch at noon, and he was snatched to the front, and he was a little apprehensive.
He is also a state official, but in the past three years, he has not made any great achievements, so he is afraid that the Son of Heaven will listen to what Gu Yanzhang said well, and if he compares the two, he will fall behind.
While gritting his teeth, the official actually complained a little in his heart.
This year, the ancestors also burned enough two large baskets of paper money, but those ancestors underground, when they were trying to save luck for themselves, how could they not work hard!
Even if you ask yourself to be seen in advance!
