Chapter 1306: The Prime Minister's Mansion Guard
readx;?? The three elders were arranged in the Qingfeng Palace, where there was originally more than one room, the place was very large, and they insisted on living with their old friends. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, they didn't succeed in setting the fire just now, but just burned a fire on the pillar in front of the hall, and it was already discovered and extinguished by the Royal Forest Army who had been following behind and hiding in the shadows, and they had to be arrested and handed over to the prime minister to deal with personally!
It's funny to say that the captain of the Royal Forest Army on duty, Tie Mian, thought that the three old men were old gangsters who had infiltrated the city, and from the first glance, they felt that the three of them were sneaky, and the roe head rat did not look like good people.
The three old men also deserved to be unlucky, and the road that had been driven for a month was shivering with cold, and they were so angry that they drove away the royal guards who led the way.
The guards who caught up with the shift change forgot to report this matter because they were in a hurry, so that the new colleagues misunderstood, and thought that their brothers in the previous shift were negligent, so they let the three old gangsters in!
Iron Mask is Meng Haoran's apprentice, with a very rigid temper, one is one and two is two, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, so he has the nickname Iron Mask, as for his real name, he has long been forgotten!
Seeing these three guys standing sneakily outside the Qingfeng Palace, he immediately asked the brothers to lower their figures, and after some observation, they saw these three people doing evil, and immediately jumped out to arrest them!
With Iron Mask's temper, of course, there will be some unpleasant words and not very polite actions in the process, knowing that the inexplicable lady who heard the news rushed over, Iron Mask knew that these three people were actually friends of the prime minister!
Now Tie Mian is already heartbroken! Listen to his brothers, those three people have been appointed by the emperor as Lord Shangshu, three people and three Shangshu, in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and they are real officials!
Tie Mian was about to cry, and when he returned to the camp, he would confess to the afterlife, and then bathe and burn incense, waiting for people to come to the door, or the emperor would give him poisonous wine to drink.
When the heralds entered the barracks to look for him, he had already shaved his beard and changed his clothes, and sat in the tent and waited for a long time, but the heralds were stunned and said, "You know everything?"
Tie Mian's face was sad, he nodded, and then his eyes swept away, he didn't see that he was holding poisonous wine in his hand, and there was no place to hide the wine on his body, guessing that it might not be poisoned wine to give death, could it be that Bai Aya hanged himself? Iron Mask observed the herald's body, just a cloth belt, used to tie his waist, this... A little too short, right?
The herald said, "Now that the Iron Captain already knows, let's go!"
It turned out that he was going out to cut off his head! Iron Mask's face was even darker, and he didn't resist, but stood up silently, and followed the herald and walked out.
This death is on the verge of death, and there is no one to send it to even a friend, and Iron Mask feels that he is really a failure to be a man!
The herald turned his head and said, "Captain Tie, why do you still have a straight face at this time! When you get there, you must not keep a straight face, you must laugh! What others envy but can't envy, how come it is like a chore for you!"
I'm laughing at you, a big-headed Buddha! Who envy you for cutting off your head? This is not a chore enough? Of course, this is not a bad job, because all errands need to be returned to your life, and you don't need to do this, and you will be completely liberated as soon as your head falls off!
It's a pity that I have embarrassed my master! Master always reminds me not to be so rigid in doing things, to learn to be flexible, to be an errand in front of the emperor, and to be clever. But among the senior brothers, the stupidest one is his iron face, he has never learned to look at life, he always has a jealous and hateful temper, and now it's too late to regret it!
A figure flashed in front of him, and someone walked in, it was Master Meng Haoran! Iron Face's eyes turned red, and he opened his mouth and just wanted to apologize to Master, but Meng Haoran frowned and said to him: "You just wear this to go?" What kind of sleeves have they broken into, won't it be a shame for me when you get there! Sixth son, go to the treasury and get a new military uniform, and say I want it! You put on new clothes and leave!"
......
This is my own master, change into new clothes and send the apprentice to the Dharma field! Tie Mian didn't know what to say! When the new military uniform was brought over, Tie Mian held it in both hands, sighed, or walked back and obediently changed it, and then walked out.
Meng Haoran patted the folds on his clothes with satisfaction, and said, "Go over there and put Lao Tzu smart, don't be like a piece of wood all day long." Be serious when you should be serious, and don't be nervous when you should relax. The most important thing is your face, you kid is not a real iron face, what are you doing so hard... The most important thing is not to lose the face of our Royal Forest Army, if I hear that you let people kick it back, I have to kick you to death!"
The more Tie Mian listened, the more confused he became, and he stretched his neck and said to Meng Haoran, "Master, can you come back if you go over there?"
"It's better not to come back!I'm glad you guys can come out!" Meng Haoran punched him on the shoulder, frowned and said, "The Xiangfu errand is better than the Imperial Forest Army in our inner imperial city. You Belin Jun is directly under the emperor, but you are not free, and you have nothing to do in your life. But you are different, you can be an official if you mix well, but in the future, I, the master, will have to kneel down when I see you, an apprentice! It is more popular to follow a big official than to follow the emperor. The emperor and the people, we are the one who is dark under the lamp. The big official is different, if you are excellent in front of him, he will be able to give you a head!"
The herald smiled and said, "Commander Meng, this is a bit too much, let the emperor hear it, you don't have good fruit to eat!"
Meng Haoran laughed, patted the herald on the shoulder and said, "I'll just talk to the apprentice, this kid is honest, and he doesn't know how to work if he doesn't explain!"
"Master, I'm confused now!" Meng Haoran pointed at the herald, then pointed at Meng Haoran and said, "Didn't you come to let me on my way?"
"On the road, just a few steps, where are you going?" Meng Haoran was inexplicable than him, glaring at him and asking him.
Iron Mask was even more dumbfounded, and Haoran said, "Then where am I going?"
Meng Haoran's nose was almost crooked, and he glared at him and said, "Feelings, you iron pimple, you still don't know where you are going? Brother, didn't you tell him?
The herald was more wronged than him, and said with a bitter face: "Commander, I just asked him if he already knew, and he said that he did, so I didn't dwell on it anymore, and now I ask you if you really know? Aren't you ready?"
"I—" Iron Mask scratched his head and coughed dryly twice, "I mainly don't know what I should know..."
Meng Haoran blushed, flexed his fingers and chiseled his head fiercely, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard stupid iron pimple, you haven't even gone out and started to lose Lao Tzu's face here! The Prime Minister's Mansion asked you to go over to be a guard, are you stupid when your luck comes?"
"Ah?!" Iron Mask held his head in both hands, stunned, but there was some disbelief in his heart. If you want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a guard? That's the Prime Minister's bodyguard, you don't have to walk back and forth in the huge imperial city for hours every day, and you don't have to stop anywhere for two hours?
After doing it for a long time, it was not a beheading, but a blessing in disguise, and he became the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Iron Mask was embarrassed by his actions just now, the big official of the family is a big official, and his mind is broad, and he is not angry at all because of his recklessness!
Iron Mask scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "Master, I thought... Hey, hey, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
Meng Haoran, whose face was pale, was in the mood to listen to this stupid explanation, turned his head and left, and kept scolding: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and don't say that you are my apprentice, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person, and teaching a wood is smarter than you!"
Qingquan Hall in the Inner Imperial City, which is not far from Tibet, was originally the place where the ministers and envoys of the court and the central government were entertained, because it was far away from the main hall of Qiankun, so it did not receive the impact of the fire.
The ministers of the DPRK and China have gathered here. Prime Minister Mo Li, plus two auxiliaries, one is called Mo Xing, and the other is called Mo Ran. They are all inexplicable cousins, and they have always followed Mo Li's side.
Fucheng is not an official position, he is famous but has no real power, he just acts as a helper for the prime minister and solves problems for him. These two positions were asked by Mo Li to Xuanbao, and he deliberately gave his authority and did not give any rights, for fear of being jealous and saying that it was cronyism.
The most taboo in the court is this, the prime minister is above 10,000 people, if there are wings all over the place, then the Xuan Dynasty is no longer the Xuan Dynasty, but the Mo Dynasty!
Mo Li didn't dare to have this heart, and he didn't want to have this heart! So these two assistants were just an agreement between him and Xuan Bao, and he didn't tell anyone, let alone be directly appointed in the court!
Originally, there was no share of the two of them on this occasion tonight, but Xuan Bao specially asked Mo Li to bring the two of them over.
Xuanbao has always been a meritocracy. Regardless of whether these two people have an identity or not, as long as they have talent, they will definitely not be buried!
He also knew that Mo Li had a special intention in being able to single out these two people from the Mo family of hundreds of people. People are selfish, Mo Li is an important minister of the two dynasties, of course, he wants this glory to continue in the Mo family, and bringing out these two children who are only seventeen or eighteen years old has an obvious intention of supporting.
Now Xuanbao is two young people, the first impression is smart, and the second impression is sensible. In terms of personality, Mo Xing is more flamboyant, and Mo Ran is more introverted. He has a good impression of both of them, as young people, both of them can calm down and help Mo solve problems with sincerity, this is Xuanbao's place.
He also made a favor and helped Mo Li polish these two people together. After all, no matter who the world is handed over to in the future, there must be talents to assist, and these two people may be the mainstay of this court in a few decades!
Only one of the five Shangshu is missing. The officials are numerous, the household ram is in the pavilion, the military department is brave, and the Ministry of Industry is detached. Only the Ministry of Rites has not yet had a suitable person to take office, but Huya is supporting the scene with a group of people who can write and draw.
This girl is envious of being able to plan in front of her husband, but she can only stay in the dormitory with her sisters and have nothing to do, so she grabbed such an errand, but she did it with relish. Fortunately, she still knows a lot about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and nothing went wrong.
The rest are the old ministers around Xuanbao, such as Taiwei Changshi, etc., these people are all false names, that is to say, they only leave their names and positions in this human world, and after they are fully staffed, they will withdraw from the human world.
Putting on the official uniforms that had been prepared long ago, holding the brand-new official seal, the three Shangshu lords once again respectfully bowed to Xuan Bao as monarchs and ministers, and this was the real entry into the temple of the Xuan Dynasty!
