Chapter Twenty-Three: Serving in Honglu Temple
The news that the five princes went to Honglu Temple to take up their posts came out after the Midyear Festival, and in the ears of those who were concerned, the reactions were mixed. In addition to the crown prince, the prince served in the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, which is nothing new, for example, the second prince served in the military department, and the third prince also spent a long time in the ministry.
Shen Ning was a little surprised, he didn't expect Shangguan Changzhi to choose Honglu Temple, in the previous life, he went to the Ministry of War, so he would have a relationship with Chen Zhihao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, in this life, how could he choose Honglu Temple? Although Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples, the main and foreign guests guide the etiquette, if the importance, compared to the military department, it is not enough to see, it is considered a Qing Yamen.
She was speculating about Shangguan Changzhi's intentions. The experience of his previous life told her that he must have a plan for doing this.
In the Five Princes' Mansion, Shangguan Changzhi also discussed with Li Ke'an and Xu Sansi about serving in Honglu Temple. "The position of Honglu Temple, although it is a five-grade and a false title, it has a lot to offer......" Xu Sansi pondered for a while, combined with the news that the five princes got from the palace, and came to a conclusion in a moment.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiyan will send an envoy to Dayong, and the two countries will communicate and be friendly. If the five princes serve in Honglu Temple, they represent the face of the country, and if they perform well during the visit of the Xiyan Mission, they can not only make Emperor Changtai value three points, but also win over Zhengqing Qian Tongshi, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
"That's much better than going to the military department to fight with the second prince for meat...... Xu Sansi also added, and the three of them took out the relevant personnel composition of Honglu Temple to discuss it, Shangguan Changzhi also plans to perform well and make good results in ordinary positions, this is a difficult thing, if it is done, there will inevitably be a lot of gains, Shangguan Changzhi fights, it is this kind of thought.
Honglu Temple Zhengqing Qian Tongshi is waiting for the arrival of the five princes Shangguan Changzhi, and there are also officials of Honglu Temple next to him, today, it is the first day of Shangguan Changzhi to serve in Honglu Temple. Speaking of which, the position of Honglu Temple Qing is a few levels higher than that of Honglu Temple Cheng held by Shangguan Changzhi, but people are the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, so they can't be compared, so Qian Tongshi waited here early. No matter what you think in your heart, the surface must be watertight. Qian Tongshi is the most sleek and exquisite, otherwise it is impossible to be qualified for the position of Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, Honglu Temple, that is the place to change the skin of the mouth.
So when he saw this gentle and smiling fifth prince, his face was warm and welcoming, and he introduced him to the officials of Honglu Temple, Shaoqing Fang Congzhe, and Temple Cheng Li Zhuo...... The officials also stepped forward to see Shangguan Changzhi.
Shangguan Changzhi also met all the officials one by one, and when Song Huaqing, a doctor of intertextuality, and a few other people came forward to meet, they also asked a few words about Dayong and Xiyan's translation, and they could also say a lot of Xiyan dialect, which made Song Huaqing and several people nod secretly, thinking to themselves that I heard that the five princes were smart and studious, and it was so; Seeing that he is gentle and kind, not only to Zhengqing, but also to Taizhu is treated equally, without the slightest royal posture, presumably the fifth prince is a good person, then during his tenure, everyone will not be too sad, Honglu Temple officials thought so.
Qian Tongshi asked Shaoqing Fang Congzhe to take Shangguan Changzhi to familiarize himself with the relevant affairs of Honglu Temple, for this kind of prince who came from the post, there was no specific work for him to do, and there would be special officials responsible for important trivial matters, and general affairs would also be carried out step by step by Honglu main book, Shangguan Changzhi did not have much to work on, so he followed Fang Congzhe and began the process of serving in Honglu Temple.
The most important work of Honglu Temple in the near future is to prepare for the reception of the Xiyan envoy and his party, the Xiyan envoy will visit Dayong after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which has been determined, so the Honglu Temple has long been preparing for the reception of related matters, the placement of embassy personnel, the specifications and processes of the reception banquet, the exchange of national letters, the gifts, who is making who is the deputy envoy, etc., are gradually preparing.
Xiyan is located in the west of Dayong, bordering Dayong, although it is not as rich as Dayong, but it is also a large and extensive country, and it has become increasingly strong for decades, and its power has gradually developed outward. It is between the two countries, there are wars from time to time.
The Battle of Yibang more than ten years ago was the most recent battle between the two countries. In this war, Xiyan lost a lot of officers and soldiers and a large number of horses and cattle and other livestock, and Dayong also had a lot of casualties among soldiers and civilians, and also lost the good general Guo Jiashi, the protector of Anxi. Both countries were greatly injured, and neither of them received any benefit, so they put down their arms and went to recuperate. That is why there are days of peaceful exchanges between the two countries. In recent years, Xiyan and Dayong have also sent envoys to communicate with each other, and Dayong has been harassed by the Turkic, Khitan and other ethnic minorities in northern Xinjiang in recent years, so it is natural to pay more attention to the rare peace with Xiyan.
Because Shangguan Changzhi served in Honglu Temple, he was appointed as the deputy envoy for the reception this time. It is natural to make Shaoqing Fang Congzhe. It is said that it was mentioned in the document sent by Xiyan that there were members of the Xiyan royal family in the Xiyan mission this time, and the monarchs and ministers were relatively good, and they were also easy to talk in the reception of visitors.
Shangguan Changzhi was also very concerned about Xiyan's visit, he had already received news from Zhongshu Province and Li Concubine, Xiyan's visit, in addition to the usual exchanges and friendships, the most important thing was to discuss with Dayong the restart of the "mutual market" in Xining Road, so this time Jiang Chenghai, the head of the household department, also joined the reception mission, just for this matter.
In addition to formulating the process of things in accordance with the relevant requirements of Honglu Temple, Shangguan Changzhi and his staff also specially discussed the situation of the mutual market, and summarized the situation of the mutual market in Xining Road, but because I don't know how the mutual market will be restarted this time, I can't come up with a countermeasure for a while, so I have to look at the situation.
Fang Congzhe, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and others repeatedly discussed the embassy, banquets, personnel and other links, and determined that there was no problem, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, due to the atmosphere of reunion, the Shen family gradually became lively. Shen Yu's family only worries about raising the fetus, and the housekeeping affairs should be handed over to Shen An's family, Shen Hu's family occasionally comes to help, and there are a lot of things in her room, as the children get older and older, there are more and more things to be busy.
According to the rules of Shen Yu's past, Shen An's sent Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to his in-laws' old family one by one, and also attached greeting posts, and the Shen family also received a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. Let the sewing room and others make festive clothes early and send them to all parts of the room, although things are complicated, but there is no panic, everything is neat and orderly, even Shen Yu praised her for "being famous and doing things".
The Shen family's Mid-Autumn Festival this year has added Shen Qingde, a child, and the atmosphere is also a lot more lively. The child can already climb, and he doesn't stop for a moment, and when he giggles, his great-grandfather Shen Huashan is also very happy, although the eldest grandson Shen Yuxian is in Xiangzhou, and the third son Shen Zegao is also far away in Lingnan, which does not affect the atmosphere of the Shen family's reunion - anyway, they will come back during the New Year, and they are not in a hurry to run such a trip in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A few tables of the family, got together for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner, and enjoyed the moonlight, during which Shen Yuping and Shen Yuxuan and other boys also wrote a few poems about the moon, which also won Shen Huashan's admiration, and they were harmonious.
The new little maid in Qingzhuju is still in the **, and she also follows a few in and out of spring, summer, autumn and winter during the day, learning the way of life in Qingzhuju, because there are a few more people, and the popularity is also a lot, plus Shen Mi, Shen Yao and others also come to Qingzhuju from time to time to have a while, so these days Qingzhuju is very lively, even Shen Ning, there is a little more smile on his face, chatting with his sisters every day, and then looking at the performance of the little maids, time flies quickly.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xiyan mission arrived, at this time the sky was already cool, a leaf knew autumn, I didn't expect Xiyan to choose the autumn wind to come to Dayong when the leaves blow.
On the day when the Xiyan delegation entered Jingzhao, Shen Ning happened to see it. Because there was nothing to do that day, with the permission of Shen Yu's family, Shen Yuhong took Shen Ning and Shen Mi's two younger sisters out, and saw the scene of the Xiyan mission. The three brothers and sisters sat in the teahouse next to Xianghe Street, following the little maid and watching the Xiyan delegation pass by.
The silhouette of the Xiyan people is deeper than that of the Dayong people, and the figure is also taller and stronger, it is still relatively easy to identify, the front of the mission is the flag guard of honor, there are many carriages in the middle, and finally there are large boxes of small boxes of items, it should be a gift from Xiyan to Dayong, the delegation drove towards the imperial city, but did not see the people who received the mission, I thought it should be waiting on the side of Shifu Street, I heard that he was the deputy envoy.
Shen Ning groaned slightly, and didn't think much about it when he saw the mission. After receiving the news of Xiyan's visit, she knew why Shangguan Changzhi would choose Honglu Temple, the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War and the Second Prince's Mansion formed a family, so naturally there was nothing to do with Shangguan Changzhi, coinciding with Xiyan's visit, Honglu Temple naturally had something to do, it seems that he also attaches great importance to Qian Tongshi, it depends on whether you get your wish, Shen Ning smiled a little, thinking of the slippery Honglu Siqing, who was hated by his grandfather and called "Loach Fox" Qian Tongshi, is not so easy to woo......
